Justina & Lars

30.07.2010

The wedding day of Justina & Lars will forever be a significant day for me. Their wedding day will stand out, far brighter, and far more sentimental in the many years to come. And as I sit at my desk, writing this blog, not on my laptop, but on my iPhone, just because the tiny keypads make it much easier for this one-armed bandit (me), to type, it’s obvious (if you haven’t figured it out by now!) why their day will hold a special place in my career of shooting.

It was a beautiful day and I was excited as it was my first time shooting their church wedding ceremony at the majestic St John’s Cathedral. Close friends and family, local and abd from abroad (Lars is Danish) attended the blessed union. What attracted my attention most of all, were the colorful sarees that contrasted with the stark colors of the church! (Actually, I just have a thing for all things Indian). My favorite part of the day, was when Justina and her girlfriend got to the hotel room! They burst out in laughter, and tears, and laughter, and tears and screamed at the top of their voices, “I’m married!!!!!!”. Sorry, let me make that “I’m married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” followed by unstoppable and unconteollable giggling. It was super sweet…. And funny!!!

We made our way to the hotel spa for some portrait shots and we were about done before silly, gungho me, decided to climb on a stool to take a shot of the beautiful bride. All was good until I got my shot, and slipped as I carelessly got off the stool. Hence, the cast till today. Needless to say, I disappeared (to the hospital) after that and thankfully, Jason and Hsien Ming backed me up at the dinner reception! I would like to express my deepest appreciation to Justina who rushed to my rescue when I was out and cold but more importantly, her concern abd understanding on this incident. Jason told me I didn’t miss much that night, except for a whole lotta champagne! Congrats to Justina & Lars on their new chapter of their lives!

… and this was the shot I stood on the stool for… (hey! at least I got my shot! and I’d like to think it was worth it!)

The dinner was held at the Sheraton, KL
