Terence & Nicole’s Wedding Day

Filed under: Weddings — Anna-Rina @ 3:20 am

I was back in KK again on the weekend of September 20 to shoot Terence and Nicole’s church ceremony as well as dinner reception at Hyatt Hotel (yes, where Shenanigans is! Woot! ;p)

As expected, the church ceremony went smoothly and the dinner reception was an absolute hoot! Terence and Nicole obviously had tons of fun celebrating their union and they had soooo much fun that I can’t post up half of the dinner reception pics cos it would be totally wrong for me to expose their ‘naughty’ side on the www. Hehe..

Instead, I’m gonna post up some of my favourite ’safer’ shots from the church ceremony as well as the dinner reception.

From the church ceremony…

The following two pictures are nothing to shout about, but I’m posting them up cause whenever I look at them I just laugh to myself ;p

While I’ve had my fair share of absolutely fun and CRAZY weddings, this was the first time I rushed to shoot the groom in the gents (and half an hour later, the bride in the ladies :p). Suffice to say, the rest of the pictures are for their personal viewing. Hehehe…

After getting the shot that I needed during the toasting session, I turned to my side and saw one of the guests taking a shot so I just decided to take a shot of him. When I turned back to Terence and Nicole (who were on stage with their family members), I saw that they were all looking at me and laughing :p I think they must’ve thought it was funny that I was shooting the uncle who was shooting them :p

Terence and Nicole, I had an absolute blast covering your wedding day and I hope you two have fun in Boracay! Nanti kita jumpa di KK ok? :D Hugs

Steph, a good friend whom I’ve known more than 10 years (?!? wahliao! damn long oledi wei! :p) recently got married to Yi Toung and had their marriage registration done in Putrajaya. I had the pleasure of shooting the ROM for them and here are some of my favourite shots :)

We gotta move it, move it!

Filed under: Photography — Anna-Rina @ 11:39 pm

I just got back from a wonderful trip back to KK and shot Terence and Nicole’s awesome wedding (and uber fun reception!) as well as Jullian and Marie’s pre-wedding photos. Prior to the KK trip, I had the pleasure of shooting my ex-schoolmate’s (Steph!) ROM in Putrajaya. Woot!

I would so love to blog about the shoots right at this very moment. Alas, time is not on my side :( for now I need to pack cos I’m moving AGAIN! Pengsan dot com.

And I’ll also be shooting from Fri till Sunday hence, I won’t be blogging for the next couple of days. Well, not till I get all my stuff together anyway. So many things to pack, so little time. Eeks.

On the bright side, there’ll be a swimming pool at the apartment where my housemates and I will be moving to. Which means I can add swimming to my training regime. Yay! *bounces around with joy*

Here’s a lil sneak peek on what’s to come soon. Swing by this lil blog of mine sometime next week to check out the full versions k? Have an awesome week ahead :D X

Ea Wei & Pat’s ROM

Filed under: Couples, Portraiture — Anna-Rina @ 8:43 pm

I recently had the pleasure of shooting Ea Wei and Pat’s ROM in PJ. I’ll also be shooting their church ceremony and dinner reception end of this month so it was great to be able to cover their ROM session first since it also meant we had more time to bond and they had more time to get used to being in front of the camera ;)

Ea Wei’s a photography enthusiast and he kept on telling me that he wasn’t a good model. Judging from what I saw on that day, I must say that he and Pat do make good models as they knew what I was trying to convey.So even if both of you keep on telling me you’re not good in front of the camera, I know you’re lying. Heheheh…

Here are some of my favourite shots from the day. Enjoy!

Ea Wei’s brother and Pat’s sister must’ve been laughing over some dirty joke ;p Hehe…I kid, I kiiid.

Terence & Nicole’s Pre-Wedding Session

Filed under: Pre-Wedding, Couples, Portraiture — Anna-Rina @ 1:46 pm

Terence and Nicole are getting married this coming weekend! Woot!

I’ll be heading back to KK again from Thursday onwards and I’ll be shooting their church ceremony as well as dinner reception :)

When I was back in KK last weekend, I had the opportunity to shoot their pre-wedding pictures a day before I headed back to KL. I didn’t know what to expect as I didn’t have much time to recce for new locations and I was a bit worried about the weather as well.

But I was absolutely blessed that day as the ‘normal’ locations we shot at turned out to be awesome and we had ridicilously beautiful weather throughout the session.

It was like somebody up there was thinking, “Ok its time to give Anna some lovin’ since she’s been working so hard lately”. Hehe…thank you, thank you :D

Ok enough of my jabbering on. Here are some of my favourite shots from that day :)

Terence and Nicole, I had tons of fun that day :) Thank you two for being so accommodating, for being gung-ho enough to get wet during the ‘wet and salty’ part of our session, for trusting me whenever I asked you guys to do ’stuff’. Hehehe…can’t wait to see ya both this weekend!

Cindy & Matthew - Wedding Reception

Filed under: Weddings, Portraiture — Anna-Rina @ 1:31 pm

Besides shooting (not literally!) baby Isaac when I was back in KK, my main purpose for going back was to cover Cindy and Matthew’s wedding reception at the Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Beach Resort. 

Cindy and Matthew are both Malaysians, who ironically met in Ireland :p They contacted me via email a couple of months back and I was able to meet them when they flew back to Malaysia a week plus before the reception.

As the reception was a small affair with approximately 100 guests, we had the time to take some casual portraits the morning of the reception. 

All the below shots were taken at the compound of the hotel. Enjoy! :)

Cindy and Matthew, thanks for choosing me before even meeting up with me in person. Luckily for you I’m not a madwoman arrr!! ;p Hehehe…I had fun shooting you both and much thanks to your family members as well for being so nice :)

All the best in Ireland and keep in touch!

Carliff Isaac

Filed under: Portraiture — Anna-Rina @ 12:51 pm

I was back in KK last weekend and had the pleasure of meeting Carliff Isaac, the newest addition to Carliff Rizal & Niney’s family.

Lil Isaac had just woken up when I arrived at the house and I spent the next hour just snapping candid shots of him while Niney was feeding and playing with him.

Here are some of my fave shots :)

Olivier and Nadia - Couple Portraiture

Filed under: Couples, Portraiture — Anna-Rina @ 12:46 pm

Olivier and Nadia recently got married in France and when they headed back to KL, they decided to have a casual portraiture session to celebrate their union :)

I asked the newlyweds how they met and while Nadia’s version was simple - that they had met during salsa classes. Olivier’s version was a bit more physical - that when they were practising a dance, Nadia elbowed his head. Hahahaha! :p

Our session started off at Tmn Rimba Kiara at TTDI and was wrapped up at Sg Buloh. Here are some of my favourite shots :)

Watch 20 Questions

Filed under: Personal — Anna-Rina @ 3:09 am

Mia called me up recently and told me that she was producing an online TV show called ‘Watch 20 Questions’ aaaaaand she invited me to be a guest on the first episode.

Being the not-so-secret camwhore that I am, I was up for it. Woot! I tried uploading the video onto my blog, but the alignment of my post went haywire. So to check it out, just click here to watch me making a fool of myself - something I do on a regular basis :p

Yes, yes. It looks like I hunch a lot but that’s because of my scoliosis. My right back is slightly bigger than my left hence the ‘Hunchback of Notre Dame’ look :p

On another note, I’ll be in Bangkok for the next 5 days but I will be checking my emails daily (well, I’ll do my best to :p) and I’ll also be posting up some pictures from my recent couple, family and wedding shoots.

Can’t wait to share the pics in the next few days so keep your eyes peeled :) Have a great week y’all!

Oh. Yes, the above pic has no relevance to the post. I just had to post up a picture of myself in my normal mode :p Thanks Ea Wei for the pic :D

Raphael & Melor - Wedding Receptions

Filed under: Weddings — Anna-Rina @ 1:08 pm

Having shot Raphael and Melor’s solemnisation ceremony in July, I knew I was in for a good time when their wedding receptions (yes, plural not singular) came around.

They had TWO receptions - the first being a casual poolside affair where the groom was pimped out in a Travolta-ish white suit and the bride was decked out in bling, a lovely dress and comfy shoes. The second reception was a tad bit more formal where Raphael and Melor really looked like king and queen of the day. Don’t play-play arr.

Both receptions were held at the Cempaka International School and there were performances galore by the schools’ teachers and students. The first reception had synchronised swimming (I kid you not!) and Chinese drums performance and the second one was like a mini concert with students serenading the newly weds and guests with love songs. Man, they were so good that one would really think that they’re professionals!

The second reception was really memorable because towards the end of it, there was a short video clip presentation. It was a videoclip of Raphael and Melor together with their family members (yes, including both sets of parents!) lip synching to a few oldies but goldies.

I’m not even gonna bother describing just how awesome the videoclip is, you’ve gotta check it out on Raphael’s YouTube here. It’s a MUST SEE (or watch, whatever ;p)! Not sure who did it for them, but whoever it was, dayum you’re good!

There were tons and tons of pictures shot throughout the two receptions which were held a week apart. Here are some shots from both receptions :)

I saw the piano and thought “Opportunity for cheese!” :p

See, like king and queen hor? Albeit a very young kind and queen ;)

The wedding cake. I kid you not, this is a real cake and there’s actually 3 cakes under all the exquisite, detailed icing. I’ve got the lady’s contact somewhere. Will update it here once I find it.

This was a funny moment as Raphael’s Dad was overzealous during the ‘merenjis’ session and he actually threw a lot of ‘pandan leaves’ towards Melor to the extent where she got some stuck in her mouth. Hehehe…

Raphael and Melor, thank you for putting up with my cheesiness and tokkok-ness. It’s been absolutely great to be part of your big day(S)! See ya both soon :D
