Photoshoot at Taipei!Posted on Friday, February 19, 2010 at 12:21 am |
Finally able to fly to Taipei for our holiday and our photoshoot! been waited for ages man. We had some bad experience with our coordinator from 藏愛 Bridal Singapore Branch, Till the point we wanted to change to another coordinator. But we were glad that the Taiwan Main office is way better and friendly than we expected, making the whole experience enjoyable and memorable.
Here we are, our bridal studio at Taipei, today we will be communicating and choosing of outfit then tomorrow will be our actual photoshoot.
Here’s the entrance view of the shop
This is just one side of the wall of dress for dear to choose from, dear wanted something lively and cheerful, she picked a very sweet pink gown which we both love alot haha, even after a few rounds of trying out other gown we still end up choosing the pink one hahaha.
Then we pick a white gown which got a princess and romantic feel to it, we actually like another one more which got a big ribbon at the back but our coordinator say it won’t be able to show during photography. I pick for dear a sexy and cool black gown for dear 3rd outfit that showoff dear body curve and legs hehe. Oh ya forgot to mention that our Taipei Coordinator name is Xiao Pei, which is very tactful and helpful thru out the whole outfit selection.
Haha believe or not, this is the only accessories corner that we guys have, hahaha what to do.. For my outfit, there is some slight problem, cos I’m rather skinny and tall… there aren’t much choices for me, but still managed to found a cool white and a black outfit for me. I might have to tailor made myself a coat if the Singapore branch doesn’t have my size.
Hehe the first picture is me having my make up for the photoshoot, mine very simple only, which only took like 15mins or so. But dear one is abt 2 hours… till i fell asleep haha sorry dear.
First stop is at Mong Hu, a place with a beautiful lake and got a swing scene that we like, we gota walk up the hill and the place was kinda wet. is not raining but they say cos is mountain area so alot of condensation.. That’s dear in her jacket because there is a slight drizzle and windy. Xin ku dear laio. There’s another group of sg couple on e same day but they went to Yang Ming Shan for the lake view. Lucky we din choose that place. The weather was cloudy tt day and they couldn’t capture the lake. In the end, they wanted to reshoot on another day which cost them a few hundreds bucks to book a team of PG n MUA again.
Our makeup artist will follow us thru out the whole photoshoot, helping us do light touch up la and spray hair whenever needed. She will change her makeup and hair to fit the outfit for each gown and outfit too.
Check out the beautiful lake man haha love this place, thats dear and our assistance Ah Ren, we both respect him man, keep on getting scold from the photographer, help us carry this and that, help us test if the area is safe, basically he did everything for us to make sure everything runs smoothly. Thanks Ah Ren!
Here’s our great and funny photographer, they call him Ah Dou, always make us laugh one cos he kept on saying “Yao Xin Fu Wor” , “Smilllllee” haha cannot tahan, but all this funny words helps us relax alot during the shoot. He very nice guy to work wif, we told him wad we have in mind n he tried his best to achieve the result we want. He oso pay alot attention to small details which makes us feel confident in him to make the call. He didnt stress us to buy more photos (thy get commission if we buy pics) nor giving us pressure to hurry up cos is already 10.30pm when thy closed at 10pm. He will give us professional POV when we r deciding which pic to enlarge for bedrm frame la, album design etc. Great to have him as our photographer haha.
More photos of the place.
2nd venue - LingJiao, a place with railway track and a secret location where our waterfall is!. all are request by us. And that’s our photographer Ah Dou in the photo..
We both want a retro feel, so we choose to have our photos taken at a railway tack, the train station is still in operation btw.

The make up artist doing some retouch up on dear face cos she ate all the lip gloss again haha time to reapply, think she’s really hungry lol.
After we took a few shots along the railway sides, we then move off to the waterfall secret location which we need to walk up and down many flight of stairs.
That’s me holding dear’s gown tail… see how dirty and muddy it is, good thing the photographer say his camera is very sensitive to white, its really true.. when we view the photos that was taken, all the dirty and mud are hardly noticeable in the photos!
TADA! our special requested - big waterfall!!! I think this is by far the most difficult location to take the photograph, everywhere is muddy and slippery, we need to be very careful while stepping on the rocks, but despite all that.. all the photos taken are amazing man.
Assistant kana scolding again from photographer.. poor chap, Ah Ren is very strict to him during the whole shoot, guess it’s part of the learning process I think.
After our tough but wonderful photoshoot at the waterfall, we move back up to the train track area to take more shots on our 3rd outfit. That’s our photographer reading some sign.
Train come liao! he suddenly tell us to run so to make it like we are chasing after the train.. the ppl inside are all looking at us like some crazy ppl haha

Walked down to another river part to take pic. according to him, this place is kinda “dirty”. there was a set of clothes folded nicely and place next to the bridge where no one is staying here. They didnt tell us abt it until we left the place, heng we dun feel tt kinda uncomfortable or goosebump there le..
Our light food prepared by the bridal studio. The assistant will still buy drinks for us from their mama-shop.
We reach back to the studio in the late evening to change into our last indoor shot outfit hehe. Already very tired but still excited for the indoor shot keke.

Dear changed into her sexy black gown and having our stylo milo make up haha my favourite one out of the 3.
Here’s my dar stylo milo wild hairstyle, really suit her dress alot. The make up n hair is more drama and bold for this series to match the shooting style. Is indoor and equipped with fully lighting gear and backdrop. I will explain y i love this shooting style most out of the 3 outfit when the time has come. Good job to the make up artist. As you may have notice, there aren’t alot of photos or info thru out this entries, reason been we like to keep the level of surprise as much as possible till we show you guys our final photos, soooo please bear with us for the time being kekeke.
