Engagement & Wedding in August

I have been asked to cover a friend's engagement party and a colleague's registry wedding. To say the least, I'm actually honoured to be given these opportunities. I have been guided by a fellow photography enthusiast who is now doing photography professionally covering weddings, events and portraits. You know who you are. I have certainly grown in experience and knowledge of capturing light. Further to that, an encouraging comment coming from him personally few days ago is certainly an attainment after perusing thru my whoALSE Photographics site.

However, I would not just stop improving here. The day one feels s/he has achieved the best one could is the day stagnation creeps in. A well-known Kiwi photographer, Anthony McKee, quoted to me what his mentor taught him, "The study of light takes a lifetime". Surprisingly, this quote was changed from the original "The study of light takes a decade" that had been instilled in him 10 years before.

As such, I will strive harder to improve areas that require more attentions. Conversely, I think I'll rather be noted as an event's memory documentor and/or "time travel service provider" allowing one to go back in time by perusing at their captured images.

Now, here are some shots:
