LUCAS CHUA - what can I say about this extraordinary young man. He was the best to work with during my entire wedding experience. He is friendly, helpful, nice, kind, a keen listener who then translates your wishes into reality and an extremely fast worker with great results! I think I really struck gold when I found him on the internet and engaged him.
Ju Han and I had our first meeting with Lucas when he came up to KL (he's based in Muar, Johor) in Starbucks where he showed us his portfolio. We loved some coloured sunset shots of his and his photos had a real life look to them rather than the model posed Photoshoped pics some photographers showcase. We wanted candid shots that served to capture the emotion and events of the day but we knew we also needed some posed shots to get everyone in on the game. I love artsy shots - you know, through the handle of the teapotlah, soft focus in front but catching the groom scrathing his nose….that sorta thing. I showed Lucas some shots I absolutely wanted and wah la - see for yourself - I've got them all here! I love his work but most of all, I love the fact that he was so easy to work with. Our first impression of him at Starbucks was not wrong - after we left the meeting, Ju Han and I spoke together and agreed that he seemed like a man we could work with easily. And that, in the end, is veryveryvery important when you are working with multiple types in a stressed environment.
I can't speak enough good things about Lucas - he is a very busy man - I've told him to update his website because apparently there are pics from 2 years ago!!!!! Wah Lah! I said I am sending people over via my link so he must make the effort. But he does a lot of commercial shooting too I think and so is very very busy. He was in Phuket for a 2 week shoot before my wedding and was exhausted but he followed us through from morning to night and was very friendly and unobtrusive. And now? Now he's gone off to Taman Negara!
Everyone loved the slideshow he made of the morning tea ceremony to show at the dinner - the pics were great and he put them together so beautifully to my FAVOURITE song in the world - The Colours Of My Love - by Celine Dion. It seems it's his fave song too!
Lucas, within the week, uploaded all our 500 over pictures to his website for us to choose our 200 to be printed and to display in the online gallery. One week after the wedding, we got our album and CDs and he even gave me a beautiful enlargement of one of my favourite shots! The man is sooo cute! Having read stories of people chasing their photographers for their once in a lifetime memories, we am indeed grateful to Buddha and the Goddess of Mercy and God (in no particular order) that Lucas came through with flying colours!
I am sure I haven't said everything I could say about Lucas but please - if you're looking for a nice man who takes good pictures - please call him! He's at 019-6666 079. No, he's not paying me for this either but the man said I had a very nice smile - what else can I do for him? Hehehheheheehe….maybe one day he'll use me as talent in one of his shoots! J
Oh ya, he even made the effort to come scope out the route to my house and the layout of my house to ensure everything went smoothly on D Day - how's that for commitment?
Thanks Lucas for your excellent work!
