My Pre-Wedding Photo Package

So.. as per my previous entry... i've finally sign up Ching Hua Bridal Art... One of the main reason we chosen this bridal shop is they are kinda flexible and willing to custom made on what we need and what we dont....

Our entire package cost about RM 3,688.. which includes..

Photo Album with 50 poses and design - Size 12" x 18"
(initially the package includes 1 big album and 1 small one.. but we decided to take 1 only.. coz no point to carry both albums everywhere)

1 pc 30" x 24" enlarge photo with frame
2 pcs 8" x 10" table top photo with frame for parents
2 pcs 12" x 15" wall photo with frame

Photoshoot day:

Actual Day:
1 Wedding Gown (VIP)
2 Evening Gown (VIP)
Bride veil & glove 1 set
Ear Ring & necklace 3 sets
Groom coat x 2, 1 set accessories, 1 vest

1 CD softcopy of all 50 poses

I din take the "thank you" card and 4R photos.. which personally feel is not necessary.. coz after u distribute to ur friends & relatives they also donno will campak where..... so better ask them to exchange for something else...

Shop for Pre-Wedding Photograph Package

went to bridal shop today... i think recently the market price for pre-wedding photo shooting package are around RM 3600 to RM 4000 for "standard & decent" package.... at first thought of getting a freelance... but then if get a freelance i need to source for my own gown and make-up artist... which also not included album, car deco and stuff...

went to 2 bridal shop today... first is Bridal Art @ SS2.. and another is City Image @ Cheras where Mindy has chosen this for their pre-wedding shoot...

For Bridal Art.. lets set aside for their package inclusion.. what i made me impressed is their quality of gown.. it's so detail and unique... as from my survey from the forums.. they have designing institude in Taiwan... that's why all the designs are exclusively for Bridal Art only.... And their photographers are "imported" from Taiwan as well... The person that serve me is Mr Jason (M'sia Branch Manager).. we met at Mid Valley bridal fair back at mid of the year... well this bridal shop is very well-known in Taiwan... i can see that their quality controll is very high... coz when i told him that our expected date for photoshoot is somewhere around Feb.. but he said better early of March coz for Feb their photographer need to be back to Taiwan for CNY... they dare not to take local "trainee" photographer coz they are not up to standard yet.. from my surver on forums review... this bridal shop has a very good customer service... and now i can feel it...

For City Image... yes what they include in the package is alot more if compare with Bridal Art... but frankly speaking... only gowns at "designer wears" category are up to my standard.. which we need to top up money if we want it.... album design and photography style are so-so only... nvm let's wait and see mindy's album baru decide and judge...

Hmmm 2 is not enuff... should shop for a few more bridal shopsss... :p

next.. Mon Liza, Bridal Concept & Eyeshot Studio...

Buy Buy Buy!!

YES!! Buy buy buy again!!
Estee Lauder ARN... with a sample of eye cream and anti wrinkle toner :p

On our 3rd Years Anniversary

Time flies... sekelip mata sudah 3 tahun bersama looo.... suppose to celebrate our 3rd years anniversary on the 6th of November... but due to it doesn't fall on weekend.. we actually dont have the time and mood for that... so we celebrated it 1 day after.... well... it's just a small celebration by having our dinner outside...

Suppose to go for Chilli's @ One-U.. but donno what happen Chilli's always has a very long queue.... so we decided to go for alternatives by browsing thru the shopping mall directory.... hmmm Delicious also a good choice...

Delicious @ One-U is not a very big one... but it still remain the essential "sarang burung" as deco.. haha..
