Questions about Wedding Photography

This was the first time I was called to meet up with the clients to review my work and portfolio in person. Past deals, it has been just phone calls, emails or just a causal meet up and usually the clients will sign up for my package. But this one is a little special. Not only they requested to meet me in person, but also my partner, Videographer. They wanted to see our past work and also got to know us better in person.

So, during the meet up, they browsed through my work and then they asked me some questions which I think its really good as they know exactally what they want for their AD photographers. I reckon those are good questions and thus I put them here as FAQ in case if I got asked again, I can simply point them to this link here. ;-)



The couple: what make you different from the rest of the AD photographer.
Me: Photography is an Art and its rather subjective. Its also what you are paying me for.

The couple: do I get thousands of pictures by the end of the day?
Me: my series do tell a story but I do not promise I will be able to deliver thousands of pictures by the end of the event. Quality pictures yes, but not quantity.

The couple: dont you give further discount?
Me: My rates might not be the best out in the market but my rates are certainly prices within market rates. I am confidenced to price my package for quality & trust.

The couple: do you speak Hokkien? My old folks at home only speak Hokkien and some Teochew.
Me: I am a Hokkien and I work as a volunteer in Silra Home. To handle old folks during my work is just a part of the parcel of my service. To be comfortable with me with you (the clients) and the rest of your guests are my priority.

The couple: do you advice the procedures on the tea ceremony?
Me: I will always advice the procedures specially on the tea ceremonies to the newly wedded couples but if the elderly have their own preference, we will leave it to them to take charge.

The couple: why do you think your 2 photographer backup system is better than 1?
Me: With Karsoon Photography, you only pay 1 photographer for the price of 2 photographers. By saying that, me and my partner work hand in hand to cover THE moment as much as we can so to complete the day of your dream. With 2 photographers, we also ensure we can assign ourselves in 2 different locations such as bride and groom's house, hotel room and receipt/front desk area, etc. With just only 1 photographer, you can only pray he doesnt get sick or nothing happens to him. 2 is always better than 1.

Email me if you have any queries and I will be most happy to answer them.

Silra Home - CNY 2009 Celebration

Red red red !!! You see red everywhere during our Chinese new year celebration at Silra Home this year. Yeah, we were putting our new Joygathering crew polo on the day to spice up this joyful event. This year, we prepared 8 plates of Yushen, lots of games (oh, I love the God of Fortune costums competition), food, performances and of coz, Lion dance. We had a good turnout for this year. Thanks to all the volunteers/performers/Lion dance group/caterier who had put their time and effort for this event.

New Pub Photoshoot

I was called to shoot a new pub by Octopus Group - one of the largest pub chain in Singapore. With very extra ordinary taste of deco and setup, the pub will definetely draw crowds. I cant show the pictures in public as the pub will be officially launched through the media and thus, no pictures from me except a teaser to post in my blog.

Ex-Samling Gathering

It has been awhile we catch up with one another back in 2005. Lynn came out with the idea and I just blast the sms to everyone and here are some of the replies from the other ex colleagues:

Royce: "In Japan"

(which he really was. Forgiven)

Jodie: "Overseas"

(we all very doubtful of that, kekkeke. History proven)

Cyril: "I am busy. I will call you back"

(in the end, he never call back...)

Anyway, we had a GREAT EVENING at Vivocity!

Zaino this baby

Lawrence just got his A170 on Friday and first thing he does was to give his baby a good Zaino coat. So, he came over to my place and got me to give his new car a good spa treatment. ;-)

"If I can start a business, so can you"

I was invited to give a short presentation to some of the graduates from Wealth Academy #13 by Arthur Low. He, too, was graduated from WA #13 and since he is the leader of his group, he would very much want me to share my experiences of how I venture into my business after attending my WA #7 which was 1 year ago in Nov 07.

So, last night at Arthur's function room in his Condo, together with 14 other group members, I presented the 2 passion of my life - Audi/Zaino & Photography. With that, I started Karsoon Photography & Karspa Pte Ltd. If I can start a business, you can too.

Video clip for the TT Gathering

Here is the video clip nicely done up by the organizer, Robert Seah. Do enjoy!

Audi TT & R8 Photoshoot

Sunday morning, more than 20 TTs & R8s were gathering at the Terminal One for a grand gathering, organized by the event guru, Robert Seah. Its his first GTG which he organized in VAGSG but nothing will stop this seasoned event guru for putting all the TTs & R8s in place for a good photoshoot. I was glad that I make it for the event and thanks to Robert, Sharon of Audi Spore for putting it up for all the drivers.

Permas Go Kart

Havent done go karting for a long long time. The last time we did karting was about 3yrs ago at KL track. This time, we have a small group (Audi Cab Club) with Sis and friend, 4 cars drove to Permas to have some fun!

It was rainning quite badly when we reached there but good thing was we had a game of 15mins of karting, with rain coats. How nice! We got all our clothes wet but the fun of karting and drifting just made us wanna do another round. Too bad, the rain was pouring quite badly after our game and in the end, we decided to give up. Poor Eddie (JB) din even have a taste of the kart and we all drove back. The mudding roads will definetely make us think twice of coming back again! ;-)

Liquid Kitchen Photoshoot

I was asked to shoot both outlets of Liquid Kitchen on Monday evening for Bukit Timah & Serangoo Garden (coincidentally we just had our chillout session with the Mickey mouse couple last Saturday). Got to rush home and grap my equipment and then drove down to Bukit Timah at meet the client.

Here are some pictures. The best part is the food photography! Where we got to eat every dish that I shot. Kekeke.. that was my yummy dinner that night.

Are you hungry now? ;-)
