Luis and Lai Kin had an Anglican wedding at St Andrews Presbyterian Church on Jalan Raja Chulan in KL. Lai Kin had a beautiful wedding gown and was taken to St Andrews in a classic Rolls Royce. Afterwards we went back for the Chinese Tea ceremony, and then back to the Shangrila Hotel for the large dinner banquet.
Please note that some of the black and white photos below are scans from black and white film negatives. Cameras used include the Nikon D200, Canon 5DMk1, and Canon 1V film camera.
David and Sally asked me to be the wedding photographer as they celebrated their big day in City Harvest Church (CHC) in Subang Jaya, Malaysia. This is the old church building. They have some lovely new facilities now. Good to see a church flourishing so well.
This Montage album was designed and produced for Mark and Liz’s wedding in July, 2006 at St Katherines in the village of Teversal, in Nottinghamshire. Their reception was held at Cockliffe Country House Hotel & Restaurant.
Lynette was with the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Kuala Lumpur when she contacted me to cover her wedding to her fiance Hamish. They decided to honor the traditions of both their heritages, and decided to have both a Hindu temple wedding and Roman Catholic ceremony. For the temple wedding Lynette and her friends all dressed up in sarees and looked very elegant. The ceremony was at the Sri Sakthi Easwary Temple in SS3. The Roman Catholic wedding was held at St Francis Xavier church (SFX) in Petaling Jaya. The wedding dinner banquet had to be held at only one place, Lynette’s place of work, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Their wedding was a joy to photograph and I still keep in contact with them.
For the photographers wanting to know what gear we were using in 2006, these photos were taken with the now rare Kodak Professional DCS Pro SLR/n, Canon 20D and the Nikon D200. Back then cameras really struggled with the mixed sodium and flourescent lighting in SFX (which is still bad in 2013) so black and white was often the way to go.
I have been going through the archives and posting up these golden oldies recently. Here’s Pastor Kevin and Esthers wedding in City Harvest Church (CHC), Subang Jaya. When they asked me to be their wedding photographer I didn’t realise that I was going to end up covering weddings for almost the entire leadership team. City Harvest Church has moved into a newer, larger and nicer lit building. These photos were taken in the old windowless “blue cave” church with the Canon 20D, Nikon D2h, and Nikon D70. Back then these were considered the wedding cameras of choice but it was challenging. The new generation of cameras have changed things quite a bit!
