Sanding Review Series: Wedding Consultant

My wedding provider was the Davency Wedding Workshop. Masa tu (Dec 2009) me & Luqman pegi la PWTC nye Pameran Pengantin & then beberapa lagi pamerans before deciding on it. Masa tu kami dua belom keje lg so nk kawen disponsor parents berpada-pada la,kan? uhuhu.

Since my lappie da rosak & all the pics kinda died with it, check out this blog to tinjau tempat ye.

We took the Pakej Dewan costing us RM 4988 inclusive of :

-Pelamin 5 panel (if nak 7 panel kne tambah fulus sket)

-Aksesori pelamin such as kipas, alatan merenjis,bantal tgn pelamin 

-3 pilihan baju: 

I choose the combi of pink & grey for my Sanding. Inclusive of kasut & accessories but sumpah i tak suka kasut dier cz dah la empunya bdn ni kaki gajah (size 8/9 @ 40/41 depending on design), & diorg nye design sume jnis half shoe 2 inch heels.. boring la for me.

Also hand bouquet disediakan but dgn hebatnye my maid-of-honor sister tertinggal my white lilies (bole pilih bunga sndri) dalam peti sejuk kat umah!!! Stress gile mase tuh. seb baik my wedding coordinator, Aunty Halimah was fast to cilok some flowers yang buat decor tangga jadikkan bunga tgn. haha.

Actually the baju is from 2 diffrent sets but combined em cz again, my size nih susah nk carik. Nak kata slim, tak slim, da dpt lebar yg seswai tetbel senteng la pulak. Mau satu studio i tried on baru la ade yang berkenan. Hoho. 

One thing dat is nice about this studio is dat they allowed us to try & try & try.. tanpa byk mulut . huhu sgt sooka!

As for outdoors lak, we choose a modern pair & another songket pair. Inclusive of accessories.I love love this dress cz the intricate design n also the trimming effect (ewah~) . The head gears tu pon memula (for the dress)  Luqman cukup la tak suka..but i kept to my stand mau jugak. Tak nyesal sesaat pon. huhu. I loved it!

Memandangkan outdoor nih diambil 2 hari lpas sanding, so kitorg mls la nk hire MUA lagi (sbb duit pon tight) makanye kitorg dress up ourselves. Make up sume sndri. huhu. 

Luqman lpas sanding pon da pandai ikat sampin ala2 bunga tu. Jimat kami.. hehe

Pilihan Baju ade Lace, Songket, Gown & Costumes

however if korang ade nk wat baju ikut size & design sndri, bole bole.. sila tambah RM 1500 & ur dream baju will be done by their talented designers. Tapi baju tuh diorg simpan le.

- Photography & albums. 

Photography bundled for nikah & sanding. They have many photographers attached to the wedding workshop. I chose Shidi. He is a bit shy. No tepon pon takde bagi. Tapi pepun korang leh ask for portfolios. 

albums: 

1 bijik 12x10 - 20 pages -50 pics

1 bijik 12x15 - 20 pages - 50 pics

frames+ foto:

1 bijik 20x32 

2 bijik 8x10

plus 100 keping 4R of ur choice.

Make up for Nikah & Sanding. Bole pilih ur own MUA based on their portfoilio provided they r free & trial makeup ade additional charge at RM 100. 

I chose Kak Linda. Check her work out in this post.

Overall services diorg memuaskan. Nk kate tiptop takde la.. bole bagi 7.5-8/10 in terms of services & barang2 sume . If pandai pilih & u r an early bird, Insya-Allah akn dpt yang baik.I was happy with mine.

Last I checked w Mr Lee (Oct 2011), harga pakej dewan da naik jadik RM 5888.00 

So if nak tau, better g sendri kat Jalan Ipoh or can call Mr Lee at 012-2138774

Btw, the studio is closed on Tuesdays. 

Satu lagi bnde nak bangga. huhu

Al-Fatihah for Taufiq Shariff

 It saddens me to learn from my pre-wed OP Shafeeq Fathurrahman that a dear friend and a photography pro passed away this morning. Cause was brain tumor. I was really shocked as last week je baru i sesembang ngn dier mntak address nk bg wedding card..

He has been a good friend in need. A great friend indeed. He instilled my interest in good pictures and made me see simple things in a diffrent perspective.

He was full of vigor and color. He was brilliant in many ways. 

He was, Taufiq Shariff

(pic credits to his fb page)

He will be dearly missed, a legend has left this world. And i pray that he will be placed in the heavens of heavens in the afterlife.

U can check out his brilliant work in his blog and fotopage.

And remember to sedekahkan Al-Fatihah to him. Moga rohnya dicucuri rahmat yang tak terhingga.

Effect Color "Filter" On Speedlite

Entry merapu (tapi berguna ye) ni i dpt idea masa tga camwhoring sengsorang kat my room.. abaikan muka2 steng yang berjaya di buat. Focus on the overall effect of the pic ye..

FYI pics are taken using my overused Canon EOS 1000D (entry level DSLR) with built in flash (setting -1) and ISO 800.White balance i kept it to sunlight and there was a single lampu kalimantang in my room. Taken at 10pm at night.

Lens was the kit lens 18-55mm and i was using 18mm at f3.5.

Normal flash without any filter.Hate the way the shadow falls.. simply wrong.

Flash w red filter (just used red fabric to loosely cover the flashlite). ada mysterious feel to it. and it kinda soften the harsh flash,kan?

Flash w green filter. Agak kelihatan demam kuning disitu tapi it gives an interesting effect i must say.

Flash w yellow filter. This gives a more "natural daytime" look to the picture.

So kalo agak2 korang gile buhsan...u can experiment with various fabrics/plastic of diffrent colors! Tapi make sure u only wrap it loosely around the flas or it will overheat the flash and it can burn out! YIKES!.. since im a person yang takde duit sgt.. i usually use a tissue paper to soften flashes. Works well for me so far.. hehe.. 

cant wait to ada duit nk bli speedlite and lens baru! ngee~

Ideas For Bunting/Banner

Mmg idea ni sampai dah lemau dipakai sume B2B out there tapi hati masih suka..bagaimana itu? Film promo poster-style masih terpahat dihati...tinggal nak pilih macam mana yg best je.. these are some ideas

Ni i suka gaya mereka berdua ini..sungguh casual..belakang bole taruk pics parents etc..

Ade cdgkan this one taruk our pics in middle..then our parents nye pics atas bawah..mana tau Luqman tamau pulak..i da suka da..i mean, makes sense kan u include ur parents? kan..kan?

Ni both menarik kalau ada pre-wed pic siap berbaju pengantin...tapi mana pulak i nk kuar lagi seribu menyewa baju kat boutique..huh,tak kuasa..tapi boleh kot if pakai baju tunang tu skali lagi. Kali ni my sweetie WAJIB pakai baju melayu..tamau baju petak2 biru tu lagi~! tak seswai okay

Anjing mau ganti sama kucing..hehe..i mean the setting when i put this up, u know, parks and benches

Ouh this is my ULTIMATE FAV dlm kategori ini...sgt suweet kan?~

This is formal tapi i dunno if we can pull this off well

Ini macam fun..tapi no,no..saya tiada niat melarikan diri pada itu hari yang bersejarah..*mati kne sembelih kang memalukan famili*

Ntah la..nnti i post satu lagi entry pasal idea lain pulak...pening den

Photographers Berbakat Yet Affordable in Klang Valley

Tidak, tidak..i tak dpt sebarang komisyen mempromo mereka

Tapi since i da bertanye quotes mereka, its only fair if i dun waste their time cz i dun thk i akan berjaya amik mereka cz Luqman kata 3 teams of OP's adalah sgt melampau considering yg 2 teams nw ni pon inysa-allah ade upto 7-8 people...*ye, saye gdiks* 

The quotes i asked for is ONLY for shoot,editing n burn tau..no albums for SANDING only

So, just FYI my B2B frens.. ni lpas i da tgk their kerja like satu satu...each album i go thru. so bukan tangkap muat aje. Mmg i suka mereka2 ini amat sgt cuma mungkin bukan rezeki i ngn mereka ini. Lagipon malu la i kalau i rekemen bende tak best,kan?

 I hope this entry boleh help all u peeps baik B2B's mahupon these talented OP's...cz they are really kerja terbaeek punya (at least in my eyes la)

Ouh and also, mereka sgt customer frenly and jwab ur queries tanpa mengeluh and also sgt laju je mereka menghadap fb or blog mereka..sgt recommended. I suka org2 yang cpat respond ni. Shows that they are reliable. 

Jadi? ....huhu
