Choosing of PS photos

It has been a long 3 weeks wait! Our coodinator told us it will take 3 weeks for the photos to be developed. We waited and called last week and coordinator told us the developing is done by photographer, and we are to wait for his call. We waited and no call, we went down to the shop but not able to find the lady boss and most of the staff. Find out that they are having a wedding show, so we left our contact for the photographer Kit to call us. Kit called M the next day and inform the photos are not ready.

Impatient, we went down to bridal concept again to inquire about the photos. Again the shop is quite empty and one staff attended to us. He checked the box and found our photos. While we are looking through our photos, he called the boss back to the shop to attend to us. We didn't realise that they require the boss to attend for photos choosing, cos we thought it is a v simple process. The boss is quite unhappy and emphasize that they require us to make appointment before coming down. We told him we waited for very long and came here just to check if photos are ready, not really wanted to choose our photos today.

Then we start to be engross over our photos choosing so forget about his unhappiness.. halfway down the choosing noticed that he seem to cheer up (after studying our invoice for v long, I guess is bec we take quite a lot of photos upfront). Anyway we have quite a lot of series:-

1) Wedding gown indoor - with some different background
2) Evening gown indoor - with 1 background & another at couch
3) Chinese costume - 1 background
4) Victorian costume - 1 background
5) Outdoor art museum - very few photos are taken so we only choose some.
6) Outdoor punggol lalang grass - a few series here, include walking, running, squatting etc.
7) Outdoor punggol beach - 2 series including sunset view.
8) Evening fullerton - 2 series including 1 full view of fullerton hotel and 1 at the bridge.

We pick some for each series and ended up with 80 shortlisted. Our package is 65 photos so we only need to take out 15 photos. After taking out 15 photos, we chose our portrait photo, and 2 8R tabletop photos. We also choose our mini album to give to relatives. They didn't have much chose for album cover.

Our package has 100 negatives return and we asked whether we can change to 100 images return instead, since we have paid extra for neg return. The boss say he need to check with Jasmine (the person who sign our package) before he decide on our request :(

The fotos show us as quite enjoyable but actually during the photoshot, we are quite tired and sweating like mad! Hee, but from photos can't see tat.

ROM Invitation card

This is just a sample of the card.. with the details deleted away. Just this week, i thought of designing a ecard for official invitation to my friends, and putting the details of the day and maps, so that it be useful for them. Initially wanted to send an ecard from those free cards website but they are not the kind i prefer. So in the end I source for pixs from several websites and use photoshop to add effects to the card. Heee, my brother says why I take so much effort to designing for just an ecard. Recently I have been vexed with some family matters complicated with the coming ROM. Really hope that these problems will be solved soon and the wedding preparation will be smooth sailing and peaceful.

Comments on Bridal Shops

Just to summarise my views on the following bridal shops i visited/seen. These are my personal views :- 1) J&C (Clark Quay) - Basic package: $5K. Not hard selling. Designer is very friendly and professional. Gowns concentrate more on lace. Photography is outsourced to other firms. 2) Flamingo (Tanjong Pagar) - Basic package: $5K. Not hard selling. Designer is not around when we go. The gowns are simple and creative. Photography is outsourced to other firms. 3) U Bridal (Tanjong Pagar) - Basic package: $2K+. Quite Hard selling. It is a new shop set up, so the gowns are very new but not many. Their photos are developed by Kodak, very nice. The Shop asst refused to give negatives even if we offered to pay. Give us the impression that they are not very negotiable. 4) Everbliss (Suntec, Plaza Sing) - Basic package: $2K. Very hard selling. We signed up at their road show. My personal opinion is their gowns are more towards to taiwanese style, heard that they import their gowns from Malay...

Bridal photoshoot!!

Bridal shop: Bridal concept (liang seah street) Photographer: Kit Makeup artist: Lynn 10.00am: We reach bridal concept shop but it is not open. Lynn happen to walk by and told us we are supposed to report to the studio (which is at a nearby building), but kit told us previously to meet at the shop leh?.. Lynn told us our appt is supposed to be 11am, not 10am as the other couple book first on today date. But eeping told us to come at 10am leh?.. So we have to go out jalan while lynn get the other couple ready first.. shucks should have sleep more at home if we know it is 11am for us.. 11.00am: Makeup and dress up for the 1st costume (Ming chu costume). The hairstyle and makeup make me looked like the "san mei" in the drama show "Jie Da huan xi". M keep joking and i am quite irritated. 12.00am: Photographer Kit reach..and start photographing the first costume. Change into the victorian costume with new hairstyle done by Lynn and take more fotos. 1plus: Break for lun...
