I dun wanna take posed shots!

Mark & Jacinta

Here are a selection of images that I shot on the 1st of December last year!

Prices over the phone

I always looked upon working in the creative industry at the age of 14 onwards, all my aspirations and dreams all leaned towards it! Today I still look upon myself as an artist and that continues to push my work every other wedding I worked on.

As many would know, wedding photography has so many niches and so many deliverables to cover. We have a grand total of 6 types of albums to purchase and with pre-wedding kicking in, there are just so many products to quote you.

I find it rather offensive for anyone over the phone to insist I quote you for prices. How do I quote you for anything if I do not understand your needs? Our rate card has over 5 pages and covers from engagements to pre-weddings to even frames! If you just want to find out our prices, please drop a mail to info@gilbertchua.com and my assistant will gladly reply as soon as they are available.

I understand all couples have a budget to work around with, and let me assure you that we are trying our means to price ourselves comfortably to serve around 40 couples a year. It takes us 40-80 man hours to process your editing after your wedding. Thank you for your kind understanding!

wedding of Kelvin and Yvonne

Kelvin and Yvonne are a match made in heaven! They are so in love for each other and the mood of the wedding extends to that! Here is a preview of their wedding, more pictures to come when I finished editing their beautiful wedding!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

today is the 1st assignment of my new year! Its also the 1st assignment after my wedding! I feel so refresh and now knew how it feels like to be the other side of the wedding, although I was busy shooting my own wedding as well, hee hee! I post pictures a little later even though we have already collected our films and edited our pictures.

I would like to take a opportunity to thank all my wonderful and great clients I had for the year 2007. You made me choose this great and amazing career and I have never once look back ever since! I had made quite alot of great friends in this journey. Special thanks to all the wonderful people at WPN, Esp Kuang, Eadwine, Grabiel, Yang, Kelvin, Wansheng and KC! You made me feel so welcome and great to work alongside with some of the most talented photographers & videographers around! Thanks to Eng Hong, I know my wedding photos will be in good hands!

Once again, onwards to 2008, clients will have a added treat as we have upgraded some gear and I have started to work upscale towards refining my thoughts and feeling towards my photography and hopefully everyone will be treated to a higher refinement of my craft.

Its 5am and I'm ready to go, new tools, thoughts and the excited feeling, the same excitement when I first push the shutter from my camera 8 years ago!

The wedding of Wei Ming & Stephanie

Stephanie is one bubbly and happy go lucky bride! I love her carefree and gungho spirit when we shot their wedding on 18th Nov. Wei Ming is always cool and collective, very photogenic and poise for a smile. Their wedding was a sweet affair and I hope my pictures capture the mood of their wedding!

posed shots wedding

Its great to work with Daniel and Lu Yueh as they have have a great team of friends whom helped them to create their wedding. Its also great with work with 2nd shooters that help me to take the burden of the standard shooting stuff and allow me to be creative on the wedding. There are a selection of 'posed' shots for their wedding in Nov 17th.
