Double "HEI" Chinese Word

Image
The double "HEI" word is the most used word in any chinese wedding as it represents DOUBLE HAPPINESS for the couple. They are used sparingly throughout a wedding. In the olden days, it used to be cut from a single piece of red paper and almost exclusively done by the tai kum jie. ( The person who's a wedding consultant to the family on matters pertaining to the rituals and ceremonies to be followed) Nowadays it's available in many forms other than the traditional paper cut. There's the newer version where it's mass produced in the form of stickers to accommodate increasing demand for convenience and also the traditional red paper seemed to be difficult to source too. Modern designs to the word also appeared in recent times just like the above picture. Incidently, this picture angle is also a popular style used by a lot of actual day wedding photographers of which I noticed.

Syuen Hotel Ballroom for Wedding Function

Image
Syuen Hotel Ballroom has one of the biggest space or ballroom area in Ipoh. The ambience is there for a grand wedding and can even be expanded until the Silverboat Restaurant area in case one might need to add more tables. The stage is a large one where people from the back can also view without any problems. There is also ample space for projector sized backdrops too. If one were to spend a little more on decorations, the place can light up and the ambience can be much better. We have done many weddings and functions there and always come back with sweet memories as there can be many variable themes available from the management.

Sometimes religious schools or agama schools is misunderstood by a lot of people as being boring or maybe restrictive. Actually they are just like us, normal people. Kids, they really know how to have fun when they want to. This picture showed them in the fun mode.

Equipments

Sometimes I'm asked, what equipments do you use for your photography work? Now this is a question that I would like to answer. I would say it's subjective to the event or what is the job entails. Let's take an example of a wedding. Here below would be a typical amount of equipment taken out for a wedding photography event. The emphasis is: backup, Backup, BACKUP!
