Capturing the Moment (Part V)

Our photography & videography team from EXES Studio; preparing the set for one of our many shoots.

When we decided on taking our pre-wedding pictures on the 2nd of February 2009 some time in August last year, it seemed so far awayyyyy. But before we realized, 6 months flew by -- and we; or at least I; am now finding myself in the most nerve wrecking period as we'll have to wait another month before we can see the results of our 10-hour shoot.

Did I tell you how God's been so good to us? :) Just a week before the shoot, we finally managed to get a letter of authorization from the owners of the beautiful park where we intended to have our shoot!!! It was truly God-given because there was no way we could have had such favor from the people that had authority to issue that letter, if it wasn't for His grace!

We also decided (last minute) to include an additional indoor location, and by the advice of Patrick Low (our photographer), we found ourselves going to Carcosa Seri Negara. We've previously heard high praises for this place, but have never visited it personally. So it was a first for the both of us.

We had quite a large photography and videography team -- a total of 6 of them; including May Lim from Wedding Isle; my personal makeup artist who was on the set throughout. She was perpetually powdering me and adjusting my hair because the Malaysian weather just didn't permit me to not sweat. It was really quite a challenge to be all decked up in my wedding gown... trudging through the heat and posing for the camera!

Here are some "behind the scenes" pictures that Irwin managed to take in between shoots.
