Mine Life Affairs

Yes, I know I should be sharing about my wedding shoot in Taiwan since is like almost a week ago! But my fingers just can't stop what they need to do! Aiya, just have to talk about it!

BECAUSE YESTERDAY'S SHOOT WAS TOO OVERWHELMING!

I am EXTREMELY satisfied with the make-up, which gives totally two different kind of feel!

I am definitely not the kind of sweetie pie who like to act cute or have that romantic outlook that gives a dreamy feel. Even though im not, but definitely had tried such styling for my Taiwan wedding shoot!

So this time round, I wanted something different, but not sure what are the options? So I told my make-up artist (Siow Hui), ANYTHING! And this is what she came out with...

My wedding gown is very elegant and sweet at the same time, so my make-up was very refreshing. But I guess stylo is in me, even the head ornament was so stylish, which brings a twist!

I am always a great fan of 女人我最大. There was this episode whereby they taught us on how to draw different kind of cat eyes and leopard eyes. When I changed into my evening gown, I asked if I would be suitable for either the cat or leopard ones? And this is what she had drawn for me!

Leopard eyes must come with a super dynamic hairstyle!

I seriously look like a DIVA!!!

Make-up is only part of the element which is important to the wedding shoot! Next comes, would definitely be THE PHOTOGRAPHER!!!

Not only I am a great fan of 女人我最大, I am also a huge fan of American Next Top Model! I always like the shooting style of all the photos, they look extremely gorgeous, even the most lousy ones, look good too!

So I wanted something very different for my wedding shoot, I guess "ABSTRACT" is the word! I definitely dun want the normal kind of wedding album. Yes, its beautiful, but after flipping three pages, then there's no wow factor!

I had discussed this with my photographer, Eagle Soo (everybody calls him "Yi Ke Shu"). He was very doubtful about my acceptance level, because the angle that he captured will be the part that I had never seen of myself, and I will find it weird and unlike me.

Guess what? After the shoot, all of us are very pleased with the outcome! "Yi Ke Shu" told me that he was a wedding photographer for more than 10 years, and there's a lot of couples wanted such shots, but all of them couldn't appreciate it and find it very weird!

BUT EXCEPT ME!

Haha... I guess im the weirdest bride in history! Sorry, there's no pictures of my photo shoot! But will try to upload once its ready to selection! Now I can show you one that is taken by me =)

Tips to take note if you want the best shots:

1) Communicate openly with your make-up artists and photographer (must express your extreme do's and dun's)

2) Bring pictures of the kind of make-up and style of shooting to show them

3) Ask questions on their opinion and not jump into conclusion

4) When things get started, dun add in your opinions or remarks anymore (sometimes "I think this is better" might caused a reverse result)

5) Most importantly, BELIEVE IN THEM (hey, they have been in the business for a long time, they know wat to do one, dun worry!!!)
