Wedding Album Collected

Finally collected our wedding album over the weekend... We're very satisfied with the final product and it was higher than my expectation... The feedback from the relative are generally positive eventhough there is a "compliment" which is not really appealing to wifey.. ha ha ha (^o^)'''

Up to current stage, we're still very satisfied with the services by the bridal house and we're definitely recommend it to friends.

Comparing the bridal shooting between Singapore and JB from the album I've seen so far, Singapore bridal houses (BH) have been more creative and lively in outdoor shoot, however the JB BH are catching up too with the wide range of natural scenery available in Malaysia, of course, the couple will suffer with one more round of make up in seperate day shooting for indoor and outdoor (if the location is out of town)... For us, in order to save the troubles in make-up, outdoor shoots are done locally in Sultan Garden within same day as indoor shoot...

For the indoor shoots, I feel like JB BH are definitely putting much more effort in bulting up the background set and custom comparing the plain color background indoor shoot in Singapore. The gown selection are wider as well.

For the price, you definitely won't be dissapointed with the advantage of the exchange rate. The keys point are knowing what you need, stick to the pacackages you have signed for. By adding additional pages and poses in your album migh cost much more than you initially budgeted. Just don't fall into the trap from the BH, try to get as many poses and pages in the album as possible when in negotiation stage, [20'x40'] & [11'x 14'] photo in frame, poster, photos softcopy in cd, photos montage in dvd, family photo in frame, 4R photos and some other freebies are essential.

If time is allowed for you, you may approach the BH during the 7th month of the lunar calender (农历七月) for signing your wedding album package if you are not "bandang" (superstitious), actual photo shooting can be done after that lunar month, this is the typical quiet season for the BH. There normally will be a better bargain from BH in order to keep their business turnover. According to an experienced salesperson from a jewelry shop, she signed the package at a price of more than 40% discount from usual time.

Besides, roadshow is another opportunities for you to seek a better bargain, BH are trying their best to archieve more deals in order to cover their cost for the roadshow. Just don't feel shy to ask for more, it's for the sake of your pocket.

Concerning the GST when bring your album into Singapore, there are some gudelines to follow.
