Yesterday's photography was quite a lousy experience, towards the end. But first, some positive things - Yx's makeup person, Christina, turned out to be quite a gem despite my now-undue worries, so at least we feel reassured that she'll be well dolled-up for November! Also, Yx got to wear 2 other gowns for FREE for the photoshoot, and they looked really good on her. Our photographer's brother also sprang a nice surprise on us by turning up and making a short film during the shoot, which was really unanticipated.
But alas, the darned weather sucked BIG TIME, and it didn't help that the dear incompetent staff at NEA forecast 'showers with thunder in late morning and early afternoon' - when the truth was it bloody hell rained for the entire day all the way till 9pm. They ought to be sacked. So in essence, our outdoor shots were essentially ruined, as was Yx's dress and my tux. Well if we look on the brighter side, it was a unique shoot. I haven't seen many wedding shots done amidst rain and mud. Brownie was also completely uncontrollable, uncooperative, and naughty - although that wasn't unexpected. We called Don from the boutique before heading out, and the lovely soul reassured us that it'll be ok to dirty the dress. However, at the end of the evening the dress wasn't just dirty - it was downright filthy. Yx was so upset over the whole thing, including the trashed dress, that Don and Yap had to console her. I'm glad they thought the dirty dress was a small matter though, as they seemed to be confident that it can be expertly restored. Regarding the bar that we shot at, it was pretty nice, but all the same, I was frankly annoyed by the unprofessionalism of the bar staff, who kept coming into the frame. Not that it will help very much, but I have shot a rather nasty letter to their administration office about the session.
I'm trying to figure out some way to re-do a shoot, and maybe this time, if Yx trusts my skills, I can do the shoot myself. But as Don was saying late last night, it really doesn't matter in the end, as we know that she'll look great in November. =)
Just a quick pic, the 3 of them (Yap, Don, Alice) busy working on dresses. And
NO, THESE ARE NOT YX'S. I didn't believe it at first either, but they really do the stitching and adornments themselves, by hand.
