I got chance to shot this newly wed couple, Niezam and Nelly in Penang early this month. My friend have been hired to be their official photographer. And he ask me to join him for this job. Since we will work together after this as a team, I wanna learn his style. Gain any knowledge from his experiences.
Seriously, it is easy working with Niezam and Nelly. They are sweet couple. Both know when to react wih the camera. So i dun have to ask them a lot. They act just normal. No control-control, no feeling shy.. Everything goes very well.
The ceremony start at 8.30 pm and finish nearly 11. So we just shot out from the island because we have another job next morning. Since we finish our job early (estimated will finish at 12 night), we think we might arrive at KL aound 3 am.
But.. something had happen on the brigde. ACCIDENT!!!! And what will happen when there are accident on bridge?.. JAMMED... vehicles moving very slow. Bumper to bumper. And we still on the island and we can see a very-very long queue... Oh my. Will we stuck until morning? Since we don't wanna wait, we wanna try get a ferry. Time is now 11.30pm. And according to my friend, ferry will be one for each hour. And u can guess what also happen at the ferry terminal? Yes.. also a longggggggggggggg queue.
After decided to use a bridge instead waiting for a ferry, we got lost in traffic. Hahahaa... No sign board to follow (typical malaysian road). Jalan-jalan cari jalan... To cut the story, we just arrived at mainland around 1.15 AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and we arrive at KL on 5.30AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn... very tired. But what can we do, poeple pay us to take their photos. So we have to deliver our job.
That is life of being a photographer. And u may notice of their price offer. It is not just cost of printing material, but works, ideas, designs, equipments must be include in the total cost too. That is why you may notice some of them just work for maximum 4 hours for one event and need to pay more for extra added hours.
Enjoy the picture.
