The Pre-Wedding Photoshoot

After all the anxiety with the pre-wedding photoshoot, it was finally over and done with on Sunday.

Oh disclaimer first....

I won't be saying too much about our pre-wedding photoshoot. I need to keep the details and any pictures sealed until the day. If not, no anticipation u olls! Thanks you for your understanding!

Our photography package that we took with TheProjectPixel included 6-hours of pre-wedding shoot. However, we thought we wanted to keep a few hours for the post-nikah shoot. And because TheProjectPixel peeps are super awesome, they allowed us to break up the hours so that we don't have to pay for extra hours for a post-nikah shoot. So we had 4 hours for the pre-wed and 2 hours for post nikah. Economy u olls!

So on the day of the photoshoot, we were blessed with fine weather. There wasn't a single drop of rain but it was extremely sunny. I was immediately sweating after stepping out of the car at our first location. But because Ms Juliana Naim is the barang baik, her makeup stayed on my face and didn't feel heavy or oily! WIN!

Frankly, me and the tunang are hopeless when it comes to photos. We rarely pose for the camera or take couple photos of ourselves. So we felt really nervous about the photoshoot. We really knew nuts about posing. Kaku kejung k we olls. And we both felt malu having to pose with each other. Hehhehehehe.

The first location we went to was where we felt really sticky and warm. Lucky for us, our 2nd location was an open area. So eventhough it was extremely hot, we still had quite a bit of wind. And it was more relax.

But the whole photoshoot was really fun. Eventhough I am still healing from my injury, Shukri and Hali from TheProjectPixel were really understanding and made us felt comfortable infront of the camera. So we are really very happy we made the choice to engage them for the wedding. Puas hati u olls!

Haiz... Please excuse my giant of a thighs and calves. And... perut.

Sneak-peak la konons. Dah sikit-sikit je. Tak nak potong stim. Hehehhehe.

Pre "Pre-Wedding Photoshoot" Anxiety (Part 2)

Remember in my previous post, I mentioned that because of the change of date, my original MUA couldn't make it?

So I had to go for another search for a new MUA a week before the shoot. Stress tonggek oi nak carik because it was within short notice. I was about to evolve from a Bridezilla to a Bride-o-saurus k. Macam pokemon. I almost wanted to settle to do the hair and makeup by myself with just my one strong hand (because my other hand is still in progress of regaining strength).

But clearly, with patience and loads of doa, the light at the end of the tunnel shines bright like a diamond. I was very overwhelmed when this lady decided to give me her time to make me up like a princess. I have always loved her works but I have also been a little self-conscious especially when it comes to this particular subject. I still have issues with the way I look and sometimes I very paisei to approach renown MUAs to ask for their services. I feel like I won't be portfolio worthy. You feel me, brah?

My issues aside.

Anywaaaayyy, like I said earlier, I have been an admirer of her portfolio. All her clients are just so beautiful and her makeup really looks good on film. You want to know what I mean? You see k...

Yes. The very magic hands of Faceworks by Juliana Naim has decided to come to the rescue of the cries of this distressed BTB. Gua terharu beb. Terharu gilerrrr....

Some more, she particularly did not take any assignments that week because she had other matters to attend to. But, I feel so blessed when she said she decided to take me because my schedule wouldn't disrupt her plans, but instead, worked for her timing. I am so blessed! Alhamdulillah!!

I just love how her brides look so natural in her make-up. It's not so overwhelming to the brides' face. But of course la, I had to be realistic and not have an image of me transforming into an arabian princess Jasmine after she makes me up.

Tapi kalau transform jadi macam Dato' CT kira orait jugak ah.
