Malaysia Tatler Editorial Spread

Oh! I forgot to mentioned yesterday that I just did the Fashion Spread together for Bridal Guid Upcoming Issue. Will upload images once it's published. Look out for it, great gown from Carven Ong and Suits from Lord's Tailor.

The models Daniel & Maggie was great fun. After the initial warm up stage, the chemistry and fun with the rest was so good, that it was as it I was really shooting a wedding.

Special Thanks to Melvin Lam for coordinating the gown & suit, Linda for assisting the styling, Kenny of Lord's Tailor, Steven Sunny for Make -up.

I received a called today from Malaysia Tatler asking if i was interested in shooting their upcoming Editorial Spread. OF COURSE I would:)

Selamat Hari Kebangsaan!

Kid Chan Recommends

Dear All,

OK. Some of you asked some really "Cute" question after my post Kid Chan recommends- Pak Abu.To set the record straight, A Diary of a Wedding Photographer in Malaysia by Kidchan, WPJA is a blog — an online rambling of observation and experience of a wedding photographer in Malaysia. I am not paid to mention specific wedding vendors and I don’t get to any commission for any services provided.

Notes to future bride & groom and their family and friends:
While I personally think that the vendors listed here are the creme of the crop, you are also STRONGLY urged to check them out yourself first. Dont take my word for it.

What most of us do is ART. And art is subjective and a matter of preference! Just like i always tell my clients, check out my REAL work first, not just those on the website. Enough of typing, check them out:

The best photographer in town?

What a great evening! Just returned from the wedding reception of Elena & Zaki at Dewan Perdana. A particular incident happen today that really encourage me.

As I step into the holding room to capture some shots of the VVIP, the guest of honour announced "Kid-the best photographer in town!" At first I was rather embarrased to be accorded such an honour, as there were many other distiguished guest in the room.Among the guest were
Tan Sri Ramly Ngah Talib and wife, TNB President and Chief Executive Officer Datuk Che Kalib Mohamed Noh & wife & Tan Sri Aishah Ghani.

What a real honour indeed. The guest of honour was none other that Minister of Finance II
YB Tan Sri Dato' Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop, whose son Ridzuan's wedding I have covered earlier this year.

Thank you Tan Sri, I will strive to live up the label!

Best regards,
Kid Chan, WPJA

The return to Kampung Baru: Zaki & Elena's Wedding

Dear All,

Today I return to Kg. Baru with a Deja-Vu feeling. I was there to cover the wedding of Elena Ramly & Zaki Datuk Astaman.

It was only in January that I covered the wedding of Elena's sister Erina Ramly to Dan Childs.

Was great to see so many familiar faces. In fact I also saw Rini & Shahrizal, whose wedding i have covered not to long ago.

Great wedding & great food!

To Elena & Zaki: Selamat Pengantin Baru!

Best regards,
Kid Chan, WPJA

What a week I mean a GREAAATTT week it had been?

Wow! What a great week it had been. it started with horror! I could not update my blog because my hosting space was OVER use. But it ended just simply great!

First it was a portraiture for Mrs. Cherie Blair, wife to the British Prime Minister Mr. Tony Blair. There was also a portrait done of Datuk Ng Yen Yen.

Then I was commisioned to shoot the wedding of Ms Firdaus H , Executive Publisher of Karangkraf Group & Mr. Emi (a real honour, considering the group have lots of talented photographers)

And then I get to meet the super duper Pointer Sisters & shot a portraits for them.

And finally the week ended with me adding an ultimate Bragging Rights :
Who else can claim that Jackie Chan waited for him to shoot his portrait ?
(heheh didnt really happen that way, but the story ........later :)

Cheers!
