Dennis and Carmen

My friend, Carmen got married to Dennis recently. They invited me to shoot some pre-wedding photos for them and i naturally agreed (as i'm a addict photographer and also wanna move into this field). Since it was my first time shooting any pre-wedding, i had no experience.

So i went on the internet and did alot of research (apparently still not enough) and then decided that we will shoot in either Heritage or Balik Pulau Penang. The day arrived and i found out if you're going to shoot in heritage areas, we have to pay the heritage owners quite an amount of cash. So we dropped the heritage idea (But did take 1 shot in the Heritage area) and went on to Balik Pulau.

Balik Pulau is a secluded village on the east side of the island. Being secluded, it's fairly underdeveloped so you could find many interesting sceneries. We went to the beach, Pantai Pasir Panjang. Being my first time, i'm met with few problems. 1. i dunno how to pose my couple. 2. the sun is too bright to shoot any good background and still leaving the couple coloured... ! Nevertheless, i tried avoiding the sky and still did get a few good shots

After that to a Fishing village near the beach (Pulau Betong Fishing Village)

And then after that, got lost around Balik Pulau for about 30-45 minutes cause we could find the paddy field (due to confusing maps). But we got there after all.

It was a hot day and by the time we got home, we're all exhausted (and i had to attend another friend's wedding dinner). But had fun.

Oh before i forget, here are some shots in the Moral Uplifting Society where my friend got their marriage solemnized in the morning before we went off for the photo shooting in Balik Pulau :)

Thanks to Carmen and Dennis for the opportunity. I hope you liked the results of the photos. For more photos do visit my facebook account. There's also a video hosted up in youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U4ysV2e50w. Enjoy
