Jimmy & Phoebe's Wedding Dinner in PJ
The journey back from Seremban was almost very smooth with holiday-goers still in their holiday mood. It was 4 hours before I have to be at Overseas Restaurant in Armada Hotel for the finale of Jimmy & Phoebe's Wedding shoot. Running low on space, I had to copy all photos which I took earlier and get ready for the next shoot.
At 6:30pm, I was at Overseas Restaurant and as usual, Jimmy's relatives are displaying their punctuality at their very best. Again, shame on us KL people!! There were 3 weddings there in the restaurant that night.
Upon entering the hall, I was welcomed by this big red banner which wrote the name of Jimmy and Phoebe's parents as well as their own in Mandarin.
I immediately went in, did a few random shots to get the adequate white balance and the correct flash settings on my 580EXII. Being a new addition to my growing arsenal, the 580EXII can be a little tricky to use, but nevertheless, it helped a lot in my shoots especially in low lighting situations on my Canon EOS 450D. Its even able to let me auto focus in total darkness with its AF assist beam.
Went around a bit and found Jimmy and Phoebe welcoming guests at the entrance, so I took a quick opportunity to take photo of them.
The host's table was well decorated, but my only negative comment was the chairs were placed too far apart. Probably the table was big enough for 12 guests.
Among some of the more disciplined early birds were spotted which turns out to be our boss, Mr Frank Teh and missus, Ting, Sures, and Kaviitha.
As the guests slowly filled up the banquet hall, Jimmy and Phoebe prepared for their entrance. Upon entering, they were welcomed by loud applauses from the guests and they slowly made their way to the host. As soon as everyone is seated, the food was served.
At the 4th dish, the couple was welcomed back on stage for a champagne pouring session. I've always wanted to catch the cork when it pops, but after a few previous shoots of being showered with champagne, I learnt that cleaning champagne off my camera can be quite a tidious chore, not to mention the risk
Once the glasses were filled, the couple's parents were invited on stage for a Yam Seng session. Jimmy was asked to lead the cheer 3 times but due to some technical glitches, he was seen doing lipsing instead.
Next was the cake cutting session. Jimmy held Phoebe's hand firmly and the loving couple had their moment cutting the cake. Hmm.. I don't remember having any cake for dessert..
The couple then proceeded with table hopping for the Yam Seng session. Some occasional group photos were requested and of course, I would gladly do the 1-2-no 3 snap.
Jimmy's colleagues in SiS Distribution (M) Sdn Bhd was eagerly waiting for their turn to Yam Seng with the couple as they had been saving their breath in prepartion for the longest, loudest cheer of the night. As expected, they were the loudest!!
After dessert, Jimmy & Phoebe got ready at the exit to thank all the guests who had turned up for their wedding dinner. More group photos were taken by my request.
At 11pm, the dinner was over and we all said our goodbyes and left. Phew.. what an experience for me..
