Investment of a Lifetime
Whenever I talk to a couple or friends about their upcoming wedding plans, the first thing they usually moan about is the cost of having a wedding. Yeah, no doubt you’ll be spending thousands of dollars on this one occasion, and though I don’t recommend any couples starting off their marriage in debt, I still think that it’s an event worth saving up for.
As one of my clients said to me recently, “It’s the biggest party I’ll ever get to throw in my lifetime! I MUST be interested in it.” He also said most of his friends commented that it’s usually the women who go shopping for vendors, who are interested in who the photographer is, want to plan the little details etc etc. Usually guys are the ones forking out the cash, and leave most of the decision making to their future brides.
His response?
“If I am going to spend that much money on an event, I’d better know where my money goes, and be assured that what I am spending on is worth it.”
How true. Usually when couples come to Wedding Story for a consultation, they need to take some time to think about whether to invest in our services. We don’t hurry a couple to make a decision on the spot because we understand that it is a big decision, and the couple may need time to think through things, move budgets around and talk about it. We even tell our couples to shop around until they are certain about what they want!
So when they return to us a 2nd time, we know that they are keen on our services because they like the quality of our work.
So here are some of our tips on how to manage your finances for your wedding:

An inevitable part of handheld video or film: When you move while you’re shooting, the camera seems to pick up your body’s every jolt and shake no matter how hard you try to keep it level. But in professional movies and television shows you see lots of long, moving handheld shots that have no jolts and shakes at all. This is because they use a camera stabilizer or more better known as the Steadicam.

One of the best things about a wedding is reliving the moments over and over again. And the best way to do that is through photos and video. In the age of digital media, we hardly print photos anymore, but for weddings, having a physical album is definitely a must. Wedding Story offers 4 different album sizes - 3R, a square 6R album, 8R and 10R. The prices of our albums range from RM100 - RM800, inclusive of printing, design & layout of album, and lamination so that your images last longer and are water resistant. Choose from a range of 4 different colours - Black, Gold, Silver and Bronze. (red is not available as of now)
A sample of the bronze 6R album that we have - size dimensions for a 6R album is 6 x 6 inches. This is really popular because you can print a smaller sized album just for your parents! Each album has 20 pages.

The Beijing Olympics 2008 theme song was unveiled for the first time during the opening ceremony. The Chinese Olympic Council kept the song as a secret for some time. After 16 years, Sarah Brightman who sang the 1992 Olympic anthem “Amigos Para Siempre” with José Carreras received the honor of performing an Olympic theme song again. Liu Huan, a famous Chinese pop singer sang together with her during the opening. Song was composed by Chen Qigang, Shanghai born French Chinese.
Check out this music video which was filmed secretly less than 4 days before the opening. The song is entitled “You and Me”.

No words to describe this beautiful couple. It rained on the day we shot this. While we wait out for the rain to stop, we went shopping. Then we resumed the shoot 2 hours later.
Few years ago, Terry bought a very old run-down Vespa and had it fixed and painted like new. I figure it would be great to include them on their Vespa. I had to run shooting them on the glidecam. It was fun! Check out their video!

No comments (No Ratings Yet)The Wedding of Anne & Scott, Ipoh
Anne & Scott is a very special couple. No, not that they are disabled or something. But I find their relationship very special. I knew them from church. They even attended the same university as Sharon.
Scott, I always thought he is pretty weird but later found out that he is a very thoughtful guy and loves to bake. Did I mention he is good at it too? Scott has been pursueing Anne since their sophomore year in USM. It just didn’t quite happen during that time.
After graduating, Anne was posted to Johor as a teacher. Coincidentally, Scott also found a job in Johor. It all happened then on.
Check out the video of their highlights on their wedding day.
