Raymond & Mona | Actual Day Morning Session


RAYMOND & MONA | Actual Day Morning Session

I needed to be in 2 spots on the same day for the Morning tea ceremony. Since Mona has Kurt Ahs covering their morning session, I was only needed to do some light shooting before heading over to Khee Fatt & Choon Foong's morning session.

Not exactly a complete morning session, but here are some of the captures from that day at Mona's house.

Pre-Wedding | Raymond and Mona (Perth)


PRE-WEDDING@PERTH, AUSTRALIA
Photographer: Andrew Yep

The 2nd part of Raymond & Mona's pre-wedding photos in Perth. This took me quite a while but finally it's here!

Both Raymond and Mona graduated from Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia. Hence, they want to go back to Perth for their pre-wedding photos and relive their memories while they were in Perth.
Beautiful places and very nice weather in Australia! Throughout the whole trip, we travel from Perth to Albany to Margaret River and many other places in between to get out shots!




























































And we end this series on a high...with a high jump from Raymond and Mona! Cheers!

Shoot-Eat-Play@Ipoh


THE CITY OF HILLS
The usual suspects (Clive, Chee Heng, Rabbito, Sherrina, Eddy, Kylie a new friend and I) hit the road again and this time it's back to my hometown, Ipoh. Our mission on this trip was eat, eat, eat, shoot and play. Oh well, we ate more than we shoot I guess, since Ipoh is so famous for good food which comes in different varieties!

I didn't shoot much this time around, so I left it to the rest of the guys and gals to do the job. I was just enjoying being a host and driver, organizing our schedules and chauffeuring them around.

Here are some of the selected photos from that day. For more photos, please visit my Facebook.

Papan, the Charming One Street Old Town
Papan is one of the oldest and smallest town around. The charm about this old town is that half the town lies in ruins. Trees are taking over most of these buildings, but it is still inhabited by some folks. This town seems to have gained a reputation for being a location for the movie set. One of the most famous was "Anna and the King" starring Chow Yun Fatt. And the Hong Kong production, "After This Our Exile" which starred Aaron Kwok.

Kellie's Castle
A famous unfinished ruined mansions located about 20 minutes drive from Ipoh, was built by a Scottish planter named William Kellie Smith. According to diferent account, this building was either a gift to his beloved wife or a home for his son.

Mistress Street aka Yi Lai Hong. This street used to be a famous red light district in its heyday. Now, it only houses a few families who are still staying here while most buildings have been abandoned and left in ruins.
