After some chit chat, he realised I specialise in weddings and then one thing led to another: I became his wedding photographer. Then the stress level just shot up 10x! Liana and Damian are such a nice couple that the last thing I want to do is to let them down on their wedding day.
Thank goodness theirs was a beautiful wedding on a beautiful day.
Their pre-wedding photography was shot by my friend Gilbert (9frames) and was done in Penang. They met the cast of Little Nonya there at one of the Peranakan attractions. I think Liana looked more gorgeous than Joanne Peh and Jeanette Aw. I'm sure Damian will concur.
(Picture below)Liana was deliberating whether to wear this "loud" necklace. The makeup artist (conservatively) said it wouldn't go well with the gown. When Liana asked for my opinion, I could've said the safest and most neutral thing. However, I have always admired women who have their own minds, and I thought what she really wanted was a shove in the "right" direction, so the "kay poh" in me said: "Well, wear it if that's your style. If people see it and gasp 'That's so Liana', then I don't see why you can't wear it". In the end, the necklace stayed on her neck.
This is not the unveiling. The veil is irritating her, and the ever gentlemanly Damian gives a helping hand.
"Mummy....do we have to be here?"
My impression of Damian is that of a soft-spoken and gentle thinker. I never know he is capable of such big gesture. He must have been VERY happy that day.
The woman on the extreme left is actually the church worker waiting for the make-up to be completed. We were under much pressure to double-up.
She was the flower girl for Daniel and Eliza's wedding. But here, she reminds me of The Joker. (just watched The Dark Knight on DVD recently)
