<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">These gorgeous minimalist watches designed by Iki Studio came to our office two weeks ago for some catalogue photos.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Photography was straight forward. I place the products inside the light tent to create nice even lighting from all directions. The challenge is to portray the stainless steel face accurately (the one on the left). It is very reflective and the light that bounces off made it look completely white. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">With some clever positioning of the lights and some tweaking of the curves in photoshop, It looks like stainless steel now. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">It’s been over seven years since the day I photographed my very
first wedding. With hundreds of weddings
under my belt now, things start to appear repetitive. So how do I stay fresh?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Outside of wedding photography, I collaborate with models
and makeup artist on various personal projects . Commonly known as
Time-for-prints (TFP), these projects allow
me to experiment without the consequences of failure in an otherwise paid job. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">It may seem daunting at first to put together all the
logistics. But the result is worth the effort, not to mention subsequent photoshoots will
be easier. There are a few ways to get the ball rolling – emulating other
people’s work with my own interpretation, building a theme around a piece of amazing
clothing or prop, or simply let my imagination runs wild. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Take this photo titled "Sewer Fishing" for example, the inspiration came from my childhood experiences when I caught tadpoles from the drain. The challenging thing in this shoot is crowd control. Luckily I had an assistant who helped directing the people while I concentrate on the shoot.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I also volunteer to teach portraiture lighting at a local
camera club. I find that being able to impart my knowledge gives me satisfaction. Talking to my fellow photographers also generates fresh ideas and keeps me up to date in technology development. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Sometimes I also go on road trips. By far the most frequented one is the Great Ocean Road. Visiting the same place at different time of the year bring fresh perspective to me. Usually I will also take this opportunity to location scout.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">

your creative juices flow? Leave a comment below!</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 130%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 130%;">While
it is subjective to rate the photographs, as each photographer has his or her distinct
style, there are still a few core criteria on what makes decent photography .
Here are my few tips to help you select a wedding photographer, and hopefully
you will receive images that you like, more than Ms Jaclyn liking hers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body2">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body2" style="border: none; margin-left: 36.0pt; mso-border-shadow: yes; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-padding-alt: 31.0pt 31.0pt 0cm 31.0pt; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><b><u><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 130%;">1.<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]--></u></b><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 130%;"><b><u>Select a photographer with the biggest
lens.</u></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body2" style="border: none; margin-left: 18.0pt; mso-border-shadow: yes; mso-padding-alt: 31.0pt 31.0pt 0cm 31.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body2" style="border: none; margin-left: 18.0pt; mso-border-shadow: yes; mso-padding-alt: 31.0pt 31.0pt 0cm 31.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 130%;">Size matters. Surely, the biggest lens
will produce the most flattering photos, right? How many times have you told
yourself, “This person must be a good photographer, look at that big lens he is
carrying!”. Having a big lens is a big bonus. The photographer simply needs to
park the car, roll down the window, and start shooting, private detective
style. This is the highest form of photojournalistic photography, a style that
wedding couples rave about nowadays. It
will be least intrusive and images captured will be most candid. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 130%;">So, the first question to ask when you
meet a photographer is, “How big is your lens?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 130%;">This
comes a close second. A high megapixel camera will no doubt capture a lot of details.
All the hard work you’ve put into the wedding preparation will be captured with
a deservingly advanced camera. High megapixel camera are easily accessible by
the masses. Chances are, many of your wedding guests already have smart phones
that are capable of shooting more than 10 megapixels. It might come with smile
detect ion function as a bonus! In the future, scientist might even come up
with cameras that will automatically detect important moments, and capture
them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Yes, it is the time of the year again. Tesselaar Tulip Festival is here! Just an hour drive out of Melbourne, you can feast your eyes upon rows and rows of tulips of different colours!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Photography is very welcomed here. No special permits needed, just pay for the entrance and you can shoot away! Dogs are permitted too. However, please note that Tesselaar is a working farm. The paths are unpaved and be prepared to get dirty!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Not this one!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Melbournians, still remember the <a href="http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/melbourne-train-strike-metro-staff-vote-to-strike-next-friday-20150827-gj8xmy.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">train strike</a> and <a href="http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/melbournes-yarra-tram-drivers-set-to-strike-for-four-hours-on-thursday-20150825-gj77mj.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">tram strike</a> a few weeks ago?

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Luckily, Puffing Billy railway will not go on strike, because it is run by volunteers! Located in the Dandenong ranges, this century-old railway is still running on its original tracks. It is now a tourist attraction, and the steam-powered locomotives always draw a crowd wherever they go. Needless to say, this is a great spot for wedding photography.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The first picture below is the most memorable one. We researched the train schedule and waited at this specific spot, in order to capture it passing through in the background. There will be no re-takes, as the next train will be hours away. We managed to timed and captured it perfectly!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Every fourth Tuesday of the month, Waverley Camera Club is hosting a lighting and portraiture workshop, proudly lead by yours truly.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Since the start of the year, the participants had been learning about theories on lighting and how to use off-camera flash. Finally, in July, they had the chance to practice it in a studio setting.</span></div>

clever wizardry. On the outside, it is
a classic aviator style look. But what's amazing is the smartmodule that's
lurking underneath. It has built-in calls, messages and apps notification.
Also, it is a pedometer, phone camera shutter release and it has anti-loss
function. On top of that, the battery can last way longer than the typical
smart watch! I am getting one myself, for sure. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Hello all. It's about time that this blog gets an update.
Part of the reason why it has been neglected is because there is nothing really
exciting to report… until now. What could be that special? How about an
underwater photoshoot, with a pregnant woman!</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">When it comes to creating images underwater, I have to
humbly admit that I am a total greenhorn. To prepare for this photoshoot, I
googled for some sample images and imagine how would I light the scene. But all
these preparation did not take into account of one very important fact -
radiowaves don't work underwater! Essentially, the pocket wizards were rendered
useless. I have to fall back on plan B - use the torchlight function of phones,
4 of them to be exact. That created barely enough light for<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the camera to capture. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Next on the challenge list is the physical barrier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carrying a few extra kgs in the belly itself
is hard enough already, even more so the mother-to-be has to hold her breath,
perform underwater stunts, control buoyancy, and looking photogenic at the same
time. Not an easy task!</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Despite all these setbacks, I enjoyed this underwater
maternity photography session, a welcomed challenge that threw me into the
unknown. I'm<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>glad that the effort of
soaking in the water for 1.5hours is being rewarded with the pictures below :</span></div>

Yes, Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake are now husband and wife. Two of Hollywood’s A-listers have bid farewell to their single life and tied the knot on Friday at the Borgo Egnazia resort in Puglia, Italy. Among the wedding guests were celebrity friends, including Andy Samberg, Timbaland and Beverly Mitchell.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="standardText storyText" style="text-align: justify;">
“It’s great to be married, the ceremony was beautiful and it was so special to be surrounded by our family and friends,” Justin and Jessica first told People.com right after the ceremony.</div>
<div class="standardText storyText" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Notably, the 31-year-old singer-and-actor sang one of his previously unreleased songs at the couple's nuptials, which saw The Roots' drummer Questlove DJ at the reception - and he dedicated the performance to his new wife.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A source told US Weekly: ''Questlove played a bunch of Justin Timberlake songs, but no *NSYNC. Justin performed one song at the wedding. It's a new one that he hasn't released yet. He dedicated it to Jessica.''</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is still unknown that if that song will make it to public ears. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are a singer/songwriter, or simply love singing, you can consider adding a personal touch to the celebration by composing and singing a song for the special one. I have personally witnessed the bride, the groom, and the guests being moved to tears when a special song was sung. This little extra gesture could potentially stir up lots of emotions, thus allowing <a href="http://www.teddytan.com.au/" target="_blank">wedding photojournalists</a> to capture and freeze that moment in time. </div>

<a href="http://blog.teddytan.com.au/2012/10/cat-deeleys-surprise-wedding.html" target="_blank">Cat Deeley</a> isn't the only one who utilised twitter to talk about her eventual nuptials.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Together with <a href="http://blog.teddytan.com.au/2012/10/holly-valances-15ft-veil.html" target="_blank">Holly Valance</a> and <a href="http://blog.teddytan.com.au/2012/10/anne-hathaways-unique-valentino-wedding.html" target="_blank">Anne Hathaway</a>, Kings of Leon bassist Jared Followill also got married with model Martha Patterson, at each of their own weddings separately of course. This means at least 4 celebrities celebrated their nuptials over the same weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiipz9MLHStIddv8xzDfXbHXVvSbTO9maupO-h71tOUO5l3NToZbD8PP0siwaFUq2-5JLdsXf0ZncgfXViOUc5mYCpnriBSnhcYxeEdoBn9mBead_ICIS5hGVy5y6xDB3vktKDNhmlcpS5G/s1600/jared-followill-martha-patterson-first-wedding-photo-02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiipz9MLHStIddv8xzDfXbHXVvSbTO9maupO-h71tOUO5l3NToZbD8PP0siwaFUq2-5JLdsXf0ZncgfXViOUc5mYCpnriBSnhcYxeEdoBn9mBead_ICIS5hGVy5y6xDB3vktKDNhmlcpS5G/s400/jared-followill-martha-patterson-first-wedding-photo-02.jpg" width="267" /></a>The 25 year-old rocker shared his excitement on Twitter soon after tying the knot, he wrote: “Aaaaaand I'm married. Happiest man in the world.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With Martha tweeting: “Marrying my best friend today. I'm the luckiest girl in the world. :)”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The couple, who got engaged in April, spent their big day in the grounds of a rustic farm house with sources saying that their wedding reception featured “a beautiful firework display and a five-tier strawberry cream cake".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The beautiful blushing bride wore a strapless gown with a lace bodice and feather styled full skirt, her brown locks falling simply around her bare shoulders with no jewellery except for the rings.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The minimalist approach is gaining momentum over the recent years. If you have the face and figure of a model, why let all the bling overshadow your natural beauty? Kudos to Martha.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jared's marriage makes him the final member of Kings of Leon to tie the knot - frontman Caleb married supermodel Lily Aldridge in May last year, Nathan wed singer/songwriter Jessie Baylin in 2009 and Matthew exchanged vows with musician Johanna Bennett that year too</div>

The So-You-Think-You-Can-Dance host Cat Deeley nuptials to tv and radio presenter Patrick Kielty. The couple secretly tied the knot in Rome this weekend with their close family and friends present.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The wedding plans were top secret. Friends of Paddy and Cat only found out in the last few days,” a source told. “It was a very intimate service with just 60 friends and family.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Their big day may come as a surprise to their fans as it was only one month ago that 41-year-old Patrick denied rumours that they had gotten engaged, and Cat, as recently as August claiming they had no plans to marry</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pair first went public with their relationship in May, and although they had been friends for years, their romance still came as a bit of a shock.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was shortly after this that Patrick moved into Cat's £1.7million Beverley Hills mansion with plans to renovate the property.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The couple kept their blossoming relationship out of the public eye for quite some time after rumours about their friendship turning romantic began to surface after they went on holiday together in February.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Patrick, made it known last year that he has been thinking of tying the knot in 2012, saying: 'I think that might be my New Year’s resolution... to get married.'</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He and Cat have been friends since they hosted one of the original TV talent shows Fame Academy together from 2002.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As for Deeley, she perhaps offered a hint as to her marital status last week, posting a photo of herself and Kielty leaving the Emmy Awards last week. "And then they lived.... Happily ever after....cx," she wrote on twitter.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Planning a secret wedding requires a lot of hush-hush, especially with the wedding suppliers. You have to let them know the details, yet have to trust them not to leak the news to the public. A contract comes in handy most of the time, but it is only as good as the parties who sign it. No contract can stop someone from speaking, whether intentionally or unintentionally.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had the honour to photograph an engagement party of a celebrity few years ago. There wasn't any physical contract but only a verbal agreement. A lot of trust was placed in me, mainly because previously we had worked together and I was found to be trustworthy :). I have heard stories of how a wedding was ruined because of a rogue wedding supplier, so it pays to write everything down in black and white - the details of the items/services that you have purchased, the payment plan, and agreement like photo copyrights and "vow of silence".</div>

The 29-year-old actress tied the knot with actor/jewellery design Adam Shulman. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Dark Knight Rises star who recently chopped off her hair for the Les Misérables movie, sported a super-short pixie cut and didn't wear any extensions for her wedding. A lot of women probably imagine long flowing locks pinned into a meticulously braided updo (not that there's anything wrong with that) underneath a sheer veil, but Anne just proved that short hair on your wedding day can be just as beautiful.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her romantic off the shoulder dress that had a delicate lace trim was a vintage inspired dress personally designed for the bride by couture designer Valentino Garavani. The bridal gown featured intricate lace and embroidery and was paired with a dramatic floor-length veil and vintage-inspired headpiece</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anne also reported wearing minimal jewellery which is quite an interesting choice, given her husband is a jewellery designer and co-designed her engagement ring. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgma7_u50MF_YB7yNUZ2o4NukImLiHeoHtdsEg5VNP9nz60BglEO4shVGHGDiD5_C-H-lP8sU7DCjViMJurSK2YJn1uc9awlLWTLxuH0nBxNkZfQe0Z_eCk6ULzxV9b4U7pvhSdvHKSwKPC/s1600/anne-hathaway-wedding-pictures-adam-shulman-14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgma7_u50MF_YB7yNUZ2o4NukImLiHeoHtdsEg5VNP9nz60BglEO4shVGHGDiD5_C-H-lP8sU7DCjViMJurSK2YJn1uc9awlLWTLxuH0nBxNkZfQe0Z_eCk6ULzxV9b4U7pvhSdvHKSwKPC/s640/anne-hathaway-wedding-pictures-adam-shulman-14.jpg" width="790" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, not all of the people agree — especially on the matter of the headpiece.“looks like she had a serious head injury… hope she’s okay,” joked Twitter user danielleNhale. “I like the dress, but the head piece and bridal veil are awful,” added @SummerMarisa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While there were other criticisms of the headpiece over on People.com, the dress received pretty positive reviews. “Beautiful gown and it’s NOT STRAPLESS! Yay,” wrote SavedByGrace. Aliciad2649 agreed. “I LOVE the headpiece and the dress is classic. Anne’s a lady, through and through.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Personally, I think with the face like Anne's, she can easily pull off any looks, including this one. That veil and headband combo complimented the pixie cut perfectly.</div>

As usual, dirt and dress doesn't play well together (unless you are going for a <a href="http://www.teddytan.com.au/" target="_blank">"trash-the-dress"</a> photo), so get a helper to manage the dress and veil. It is usually the job of the bridesmaid, but husbands, you can start your new life on the right foot by learning from Adam.</div>

Anne's wedding comes as a bit of a surprise as she previously insisted the wedding would not take place until 2013 because of her work commitments. She told Hello magazine recently:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We're getting married, probably sometime next year-ish. Not this year, it’s too big with two films coming out." </div>

<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 29-year-old bride could have chosen any of the world's designers with what seemed like a limitless budget for her nuptials, but went back to her roots, opting for Melbourne couturier J'Aton for her full meringue-style skirt resembling feathers and a bodice-like top. Unfortunately, the dress has found itself on the end of some less-than-flattering criticism.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2211522/Holly-Valance-wedding-A-dress-15ft-veil-Katy-Perry-flown-sing-3m-bill.html?openGraphAuthor=%2Fhome%2Fsearch.html%3Fs%3D%26authornamef%3DAlison%2BBoshoff"><em>Daily Mail</em></a> said the gown was a "Barbie-meets-Miss-Havisham frock...[with] cascades of pigeon-coloured frou-frou about the hem."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While the <em><a href="http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/columns/belinda-white/TMG9578713/Return-of-the-meringue-Celebrity-wedding-dresses-go-big-for-2012.html" target="_blank">Telegraph</a></em> likened the gown to an all-inclusive British package holiday stalwart. Which is no good thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The British newspaper said the "rag-taggle skirt...looked like it had been concocted from endlessly layered lettuce leaves faithfully reproduced in singed white silk."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ouch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nevertheless, Valance topped it off with an exaggerated lace veil in a vintage style which also acted as a train, and carried a dramatic dark-red bouquet, with the wealthy property owner wearing a Dolce and Gabbana tuxedo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The fifteen footer (4.5 meters) veil, although a traffic-stopper, is barely a fraction of the world's longest veil as confirmed by the Guiness Book of Records. The bride Elena De Angelis from Italy arrived at church with a mammoth 3km (1.86 mile) long veil, literally a traffic-stopper!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Personally, whenever I see a long veil, I will secretly jump in joy, because I get to shoot photos like this:</div>

So if you have a simple wedding gown but still seeking for that WOW factor, consider adding a floor-length veil. Preferbly, nominate a helper to manage the veil. It requires delicate care but it is certainly a lot easier to manage than a feet-dragging wedding dress like Holly Valance's. </div>

"As a Sunday coinciding with the Chinese Lunar calendar's Aug 8, it is a good choice," Lin said. <br />

The number "8" signifies prosperity, and couples who got married on this date is thought to be blessed with double prosperity. <br />

They are currently the highest profile couple in Chinese athletics and so the wedding ceremony is highly anticipated. The celebration was held at the Beijing University of Technology. </div>

Oscar winner Natalie Portman tied the knot with Benjamin Millipied on 11 Aug 2012. The two met on the set of the movie "Black Swan" during 2009. The wedding was eco-friendly themed and it reflected the couple's outlook on the world.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Here are a few wedding details:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Instead of having flowers flown in, the ceremony featured wildflowers indigenous to the Big Sur coast where the ceremony took place, and instead of "fish or steak", the menu was strictly vegan in keeping with the bride's diet. Portman, 31, chose a traditional white gown, complimented by a crown of white wildflowers in her hair. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When things wrapped up around 2 a.m., the approximately 100 guests took home packets of wildflower seeds as party favors. The packets were inscribed with a single word: "Merci."</div>

It gives the guests something to remember, and possibly become talk of the town.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Planning a themed wedding is rather easy. The difficult part is coming up with the ideal wedding theme itself. Wedding themes range from movie-oriented to personal beliefs such as Natalie's. Other themes could be colours, patterns, and symbols that are meaningful to you: a pretty patterned pillow can form an entire wedding theme.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If your wedding has a theme, be sure to convey this to the <a href="http://www.teddytan.com.au/" target="_blank">wedding photographer</a> in advance. The photographer can plan and keep this in mind when shooting the wedding, and also design the album according to the theme, which ties up the whole event together.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
All the best to Natalie and Benjamin.<br />

On the next day after his company's IPO, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg swapped his trademark hoodie for a suit and married his college sweetheart Priscilla Chan.
Appropriately, he chose to announce his nuptials by updating his facebook status to "married".</div>
<img align="center" alt="mark zuckerberg ties the knot, mark zuckerberg marries Priscilla Chan" border="0" height="422" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/zuckerbergchan.jpg" width="640" />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to various news sources, the wedding was a secret. The guests thought they were there to celebrate the graduation of Priscilla from her degree in paediatrics.
It was a private event which was held in the backyard of his home at Palo Alto California. The guests numbered fewer than 100. The catering, which was from his favourite local restaurant, reportedly costing less than 10 dollars per head. Zuckerberg, 28, and Chan, 27, spent four months planning the wedding, but had not publicly revealed they were engaged. Despite his strong advocacy of online openness and sharing, Mr Zuckerberg has long been secretive about his own personal life.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of all the happenings, what interests me is the wedding photo he chose to show to the world - a simple photo of the couple holding hands, looking at the camera smiling, with a warm glow of the sun in a backyard setting. Being a multi-billionaire, I'm sure he is able to afford the world's best photographer (whoever he or she might be) to create elaborate pieces for him. He could have go to Sweden and shoot in the Northern Lights. He could have chose a photo of him kissing or hugging Priscilla and show the world how much he loves her, but he did not. All in all, it wasn't his style.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the way the whole event was played out, he feels like a down-to-earth guy to me, and doesn't actively seek attention. Naturally, this photo he chose to post on his facebook account truly reflects his personality. On the other hand, there is also nothing wrong being a loud and extroverted person. If Aurora Borealis is your thing, go for it! If you like diving, put on your scuba gear and have an underwater photoshoot! Sky-diving and exchanging vows free-falling at 14000ft is perfect for the adrenalin junkies. What I'm trying to convey is, be true to yourself. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Here at <a href="http://www.teddytan.com.au/">Wedding Photographer Melbourne</a>, I like to chat with the wedding couple and sense their personalities. Usually this occured during our intial meeting. The topic of our conversation could range from hobbies, what they normally do on a Saturday night, and how they first met etc. By doing so, not only I could plan the look of the photos to compliment the clients, it would also help me to anticipate the bride and groom's next action during a wedding, and be on the standby to capture any spontaneous moments. I might very well end up with a simple photo which will not win any big awards, but if the clients are happy and gave me a personal award (mmmm...cookies), that would be the biggest motivation for me. </div>Teddy Tanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10964368870627732224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384768081133030778.post-40142318313405155922012-04-18T17:15:00.008+10:002012-05-08T17:44:14.447+10:00Promotion: Perth pre-wedding photography<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/?action=view&current=perthcopy.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Perth pre-wedding photography promotion, pre-wedding photography Perth" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/perthcopy.jpg" /></a><br />

This photo was taken at an open field near Moora. I climbed onto higher grounds to capture the scenery being painted by the sunset with a gorgeous golden hue.<br />

This photo was taken at the University of Western Australia campus. The repeated patterns in the architecture and the reflection in the foreground make it an interesting view.<br />

This photo was also taken near Moora, on the other side of the road from the field shown in the first photo above. The yellow canola flowers and the light blue cloudy sky complimented each other so well that it looks like a scenery from a storybook.

The Crawley Edge Boathouse a.k.a that bue boathouse is a popular place for pre-wedding photography in Perth. To achieve something a little different, we went to a vantage point and shot this photo with the boathouse in the background.

Below is some behind the scene video footage of it. The photographer in the video is a less cuddly version of me today. No human was harmed in the making of this video, though lots of food was devoured.<br /><br />Any questions regarding the equipment and setup can be asked in the comments section below. Enjoy.<br /><br /><iframe height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/E1BRFp29LDM" frameborder="0" width="560" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br /><br />And here are some photos from the session:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.teddytan.com.au/" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="lady and the tramp,pre-wedding" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/_TED7505.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.teddytan.com.au/" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="pre-wedding,melbourne" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/_TED7616.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.teddytan.com.au/" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="pre-wedding,melbourne" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/_TED7648.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/?action=view&current=_TED7562.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="pre-wedding,photography,Melbourne" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/_TED7562.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/?action=view&current=_TED7535.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="pre-wedding,photography,Melbourne" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/_TED7535.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/?action=view&current=_TED7625.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="pre-wedding,photography,Melbourne" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/_TED7625.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/?action=view&current=_TED7491.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="pre-wedding photography,melbourne" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/_TED7491.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/?action=view&current=_DSC5469.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="pre-wedding photography,melbourne" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/_DSC5469.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/?action=view&current=_TED7700.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="pre-wedding photography,melbourne" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/_TED7700.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />For pre-wedding photography enquiries, please visit <a href="http://www.teddytan.com.au/">http://www.teddytan.com.au/</a><br /><br />Many thanks to <a href="http://www.sky17.com.au">Sky17 Studios</a> for the video.Teddy Tanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10964368870627732224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384768081133030778.post-34139253614614033342012-04-05T15:59:00.005+10:002012-04-05T17:01:31.906+10:00100 Best Views in Australia<p align="center"><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/?action=view&current=12Apostle.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="12 Apostle, Photo by Ken Duncan" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/12Apostle.jpg" /></a></p><div align="center"><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Photo by Ken Duncan</span></em></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="left"><br /><br />The Australian Traveller had just published the <a href="http://www.australiantraveller.com/national/100-best-views-in-australia-index-2012">100 Best Views in Australia Index 2012</a> together with information on how to see them for yourself!<br /><br />This is a great reference for <a href="http://www.teddytan.com.au">pre-wedding photography</a> locations! Number 1 (Great Barrier Reef) is a tough challenge but my personal favourite is the 12 Apostle (ranked number 3!). In fact, I just went there last week for a photoshoot! Very loooong drive but certainly worth it. The changing scenery along the way provides many photo opportunities as well - cattles, valleys, hills, grassplains, forests etc. Access to the 12 Apostle beach is via the Gibson Steps about 1km away. Legends have it that Mr Gibson carved out the stairs so he could get to his favourite fishing spot easily. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">For wedding photo enquiries, please contact Teddy 0405642535 or <a href="mailto:ted@teddytan.com.au">ted@teddytan.com.au</a> </div>Teddy Tanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10964368870627732224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384768081133030778.post-70262262802573591592012-03-26T18:18:00.001+11:002012-03-26T18:25:44.278+11:00Mike + Susan + SherylLittle Sheryl saw mummy’s wedding photos and was puzzled.<br /><br />“Why am I not at your wedding?”, she asked.<br /><br />Mummy answered, “We didn’t know where you are at that time”.<br /><br />“Next time when you and daddy get married, be sure to take me along, I want to marry with you!”, Sheryl said.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tjzteddy/?action=view&current=covercopy.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Mike, Susan and Sheryl's wedding, Why am I not at your wedding?
