Wedding......Ching & Teong Part 1

Attended my dears brother wedding. Was quite a learning experience for me as i've learn alot about the chinese customs. From what you must bring to the preparation till the post wedding and all the stuff involve. It was actually quite fun. The not fun part is that i have to attend KL Branch Mid Year Roadshow the next day.

The photographer there was also kind enough to share some photography tips with me. He also did a great Video of the whole proccess. Very much recommended to hire him for future plans. His name is Kent Tan.....

Attached some photo i took during the wedding. Enjoy.

This is the car that was use to take the couple around. Decorated with Mickey and Miney mouse at the front. Quite cute.
