my little (and insignificant) surprise to adrian & ailin…

my dear adrian and his wife, ailin are in bali for honeymoon now, and i decided to give them a little surprise here by “hacking” into this wordpress account to make this post. hmm…  why do i even have to hack since i’m part of sideways too? because adrian is the sole art director / editor / dictator of this blog and our facebook account, i’m not allowed to access to them at all. i don’t even know the password and stuffs. yes, even the last post was created by him despite it was me signing off, i only provided the pics and my words to him through email.

actually no lah, haha i was just plain too lazy to post on our blog everytime, so our poor adrian gonna do it on his own whenever there’s something new. hahahaha

once again, i was “only” asked to cover for the morning session at his place because the actual day photographer, michael chan; another big name in wedding photography, was at ailin’s side. why huh? why am i always being asked to play the small role? i’m wondering when would be the day when someone would post on his blog to tell the world that, “hey, today one of the top wedding photographers, liang is actually shooting for this wedding, check it out!”. yeah right, dream on boy.

ok, enough of my gripes. here’s a little glimpse of what was happening at adrian’s place, prior to the gatecrashing.

to adrian & ailin & all sideways fans (if there’s any):  happy holidays!!!

can you spot adrian? hahaha

shooting my first church wedding

some might asked if i was enthusiastic about shooting my first church wedding?

if only i was not told to just cover the group shots after the ceremony and table shots during the dinner, but it was not that bad either lah.

and edmund leong, the renowned wedding photographer took on the role of shooting my cousin’s wedding on that day. fyi, my cousin was the bride.

damn… if only i’m a professional… oh yeah, i almost forgot i’m actually a professional and my professional title is an engineer. oh how nice and i’m so proud! duh…

anyway, as not to obstruct the ‘official’ wedding photographer, because i know how irritating it would be, i chose to stay at the back – actually i didn’t really choose lah, i didn’t have much of a choice anyway – to capture all those little things and happenings in the crowd.

opportunities were rare and limited, silence was golden and deafening and shutters are loud and attention-seeking in this holy ground, but i still managed to snap a few there and then.

well, besides the group photos I was obliged to take, below are some shots to sum up this celestial wedding.

george . daphne

i have always preferred non-banquet styled wedding celebrations as guests would not be confined to just the table of 10, but rather mingle around with anyone or everyone, anywhere within the compound. having said that, we had the chance to shoot for george & daphne (a very nice and accomodative couple) at raintree villa @ labrador park, with the glasshouse in the middle of a shallow pool being the highlight of the venue.

here are some of the selections that we have came up with. enjoy! as usual, more can be found in facebook! – adrian
