Shoot-ing ;)

Happy Monday friends!

How is your day?.. I guess some of you might feel it is blue Monday. Well don't be. Just think out that it will pass quickly.. Indeed time really flies, isn't it ?.. :)

Well, today I would like to share with you the important task that I'd been involved about a couple weeks ago. If you happened to read my post entitled A Movie Day Out, I am sure you really waiting for this post.

Actually the important task that I had been involved was the wedding of Bede and Luziana. My hubby was appointed as an official photographer for their wedding. And as usual hubby asked me for help. Well, I did not refused the offer, but as you know I have to think about Gabriel and so on. And yes, finally we agreed to send Gabriel to his grandma, for the whole Saturday.

The wedding ceremony took place at Sepanggar (the bride's resident), where the photography works began as early as 7 am, started from the bride's make-up session. I did the shots for the make-up session as hubby said the bride might be more comfortable if a lady photographer did the shots. And I guess so..

The preparation now ended at about 9 am and proceed to St. Thomas Church in Kepayan. The wedding mass started at 10 am. Feels like, macam saya pula mau kawin balik..LOL. Seriously, everytime I do shots of a wedding in church, it's a reminiscence of our wedding back in 2007. Oh how I miss that moment.. :D

As usual, as the wedding mass ended, the photo-shooting then started. It's involving the whole family of the bride and groom. All were happy faces. Indeed, I love to see those smiles and of course I put it in my shots. ;)

All the way from St Thomas Church, Kepayan, the whole family including the bride and groom proceed back to Sepanggar where the wedding reception was held. By this time, we managed to took lunch at Lintas for a while before heading to the wedding reception to continue the work of shooting there.

By the way, here are some shots done by me.. ;)

It was a very hot weather. But somehow, we managed to finish the task. I am gratefully thanks to the couple for giving us full trust to be their official photographer on their special day.

Walaupun panas, puas hati jg dapat tingu urang minum2, dancing2 and karaoke lg tu. Ada tu satu uncle nyanyi lagu dusun, atukoi..funny betul. Indeed, he made my day di hari yg terlampau panas itu..hehe..

Okay, that's all for now. 

Thanks for visiting here. Have a fun week ahead. :)

Mother's Day 2012

13th May 2012 was a meaningful and special day for me. It was Mother's Day celebration. And it was meaningful enough as it's my 1st time ever to celebrate this event. I mean we celebrate it every year, but this year I become a mother myself, that makes it special for me.

So if you ask me how's Motherhood?.. What is so special being a Mother?. What you can get from being a Mother?.. All I can say is, it was amazing.  Yes, indeed. It was an amazing experiences for me. And it's still amaze me.. Well, of course it's a way long to go. I promise to myself to become the best mother to our child. And at the meantime I am enjoying motherhood and cherishing the moment.

Now, I rather let you put yourself in my situation to know how it's look like to be a mother. That's mean (to all married ladies who still doesn't have a child at the moment) you have to act real fast! No regret.. :P

By the way, we celebrated Mother's Day over a luncheon at Jack & Pot Cafe, Penampang. It was fun indeed. And Gabriel definitely the attention of the day. Ba dia seja baby kicil sana yg kuat main kan hehe..  

Although it was only a simple gathering, I appreciate it. It's the thought that counts. The peak of the luncheon was the cutting cake ceremony and photoshoots. :D

 3 Moms. Me, my mom and my mother in-law. Look at Gabriel, dia pun mau potong kek..haha

 Mother's Day cake. Blueberry flavor ;)

 The family..

 

My small family ;)

Thank you to all (you definitely know who you are) for the wishes. I received private FB messages, messages thru the phone, and on my FB wall. I was so touched and really appreciate the thoughts.
GOD bless all of you. :D 

That's it for now. Thanks for visiting here.. :)
