Andrea, you gave me quite a scare when Chris called me over to your main table and I saw you in tears. Thank God it was just because of the slideshow presentation and not something I did wrong. Pheww!!

Selecting Photos For Your Album

Our Coffee Table Albums come standard with 20 pages and can averagely fit 80-100 images. I would classify my layout design as classy, clean and contemporary. I also like to keep my layouts simple, and free from unnecessary cheesy texts and motifs.

When it comes to designing albums, I usually allow my clients to select their favourite photos for their album. Lately, I’ve been receiving lots of “complaints”, saying that there are just too many awesome photos to choose from, and selecting just 110 images out of the hundreds is almost impossible.

Hence, here are some tips to reduce your ’stress’:

1) Quantity vs Quality
I’ve been designing albums for years and I can confidently tell you that quantity does not mean that you’re getting the most out of your money. The keyword here is to strike a balance between quantity and quality. Through my experience, 80-100 images are usually sufficient for a typical wedding. Any more, you might end up with a cluttered and messy layouts with tiny images everywhere; and it won’t make your album look classy.

2) Include some backgrounds in your selection
Take a look at the layout below.

pg14_15.jpg

Most people tend to select images that has a face in it - it’s just human nature. You might want to include a background, scenery or even details so that it adds ambiance into your album. Won’t you agree that by looking at the layout above, makes you feel as if you were there?

3) You can’t have everyone in your album
Keep it simple and be reasonable. You can’t have every single person’s face in your album. Select only those who are important to you such as the bridal party and your immediate family. It’s your wedding album and the main focus should be on the both of you.

4) Choose ‘Story Telling’ images
pg12_13.jpg
You do not need to choose every photos to describe an activity from A to Z. Based on the layout above, you’ll roughly know that the groom was at the door, trying to claim his bride and we did it with no more than 6 images.

5) Sequential images
It may seem that selecting images that are somewhat similar is a waste of good space, but it doesn’t.

pg26_27.jpg
Sequential images help us match and balance colors, and to my opinion, it also gives your album a contemporary look. Here’s another sample below

pg11_12.jpg
If you do select sequential images, make sure you select a minimum of 3.

6) If you’re not sure, let the professionals do it
There are many other factors to be considered when designing an album. Apart from taking photographs, designing album is also an important service offered by Whizarts. If it seems difficult, let us choose your photos for you.

Random Rants

- I am glad that I do not have to shoot on every weekends. Weekend breaks give me time to breath and reflect. Its a good time to recharge myself and to take on the next challenge. I’m appreciating every weekends I have for the past few weeks because peak period is here. Time to charge those batteries.
- Designing and preparing wedding albums is one of the most tedious and time consuming task. I’ve been doing that for the past few days.
- Been watching lots of funny videos on McCain and Sarah Palin. SNL has never been better.
- We’ll be in Langkawi from 29th to 30th Nov. If you would like to have your portraits done there, tell us. No additional accommodation and transportation costs required.
- It’s 31st today and it’s Baskin Robin’s day!!

Macbook Fixed

Phewww.. Managed to get my Macbook fixed today without incurring any cost. I’m so glad it broke down within my warranty period and not after. This means that I have money for more toys and gadgets. :)

Woohoo!!!

Motorola Workshop Snapshots

The turn out for this event was unbelievable. I was informed that there were roughly 70 Motorolans who attended my photography workshop yesterday afternoon and there were barely enough chairs for them. What a pity! Nevertheless, I had a great time there and I hope the participants did learn a few things from me.

None of this would have happen if it weren’t for AT Lim and GT Yeoh for their incredible effort in organizing this event. Kudos to them! By the way, if you were one of the participants, thank you for taking your time away from lunch just for this event. I’ve emailed AT Lim a copy of the presentation slides I showed yesterday, so please do get a copy from him.

Updates from KL

- Had a wonderful shoot yesterday at Cyberview Lodge.
- Our schedule was swarmed with appointments since 10am today, meeting clients after clients here in KL. Met so many fun & loving people
- I am especially proud of Alishia because everyone we meet constantly praised her wedding invitation card and stationery designs, and I’m so happy to see Alishia being appreciated for all her hard work and labour.
- Spent way to much on food and drinks. I have never seen my wallet being emptied so fast before.
- My diet has crashed and burned. I did not make enough time to exercise and ate all my favourite food the moment I reached KL. Oh well, I’ll try harder next week. :P
- Going to savour durian cake later!

Getting Back In Shape

OK! No more procrastinating! I’ve been trying to lose weight and get back in shape since the Raya holidays and I have not been doing so. I’ve mustered my will power and I shall begin TODAY. I will measure my progress based on the following:

1) Body Fat Percentage
2) Weight

When I measured myself last night, I was weighing 85KG with a fat percentage of 23%. I am aiming to achieve 78KG with a fat percentage of 16-18% by April 2009 for our wedding.

For this week, I’ll be doing free weights and basic push-ups, sit-ups and chin-ups to rebuild and strengthen my muscles; and minor cardio workout to get my fitness level up. As for my diet, I’m hoping to eat the same but at a lesser portion (gasps!).

I will be posting my progress here so wish me luck and encouragement! My dearest Alishia shall be my witness!

Kelcy & Dan

Everything went so beautifully well that day; the weather, the set up, the timing, everything! Kelcy got so excited and almost lost her voice entirely during dinner. I can still remember how she sounded that night and it has been inside my head till today.

Here are some of my favourite images taken from Kelcy & Dan’s wedding in Johor.
