hi 1192001, I don't think the MUA chop u. I also paid the same. For ampoule, it's $25 for the bride and $25 for the groom plus $15 for eyelashes so total $65. It's the same for other BS & MUA. If u want to save $, as blurblur mentioned, u can use your own eyelashes and/or ampoule. That's what some brides do.

Perfect moment, I think fake eyelashes can reuse on the day itself. For ampoule I think most prob have to pay twice unless u opt that at night don't need. But think better confirm with ur MUA/coordinator.
 
Hi all,

I will like to share my experience on the photoshoot I have taken recently with YC. I have to agree no less that the photographer is the key to a good photoshoot experiece. My hubby and I really have a bad time with our photographer which we thought was rude, impatient and tactless throughout the shoot. No matter how good the photos turn out (which I really think the photos are just touching average.), my hubby and I have decided not to add any photos at all. The sight of them reminds us of the unhappiness we had.

We have complained this to the ladyboss but were told apparently that we are the only ones that complains on him which surprises us.

Below are some instances that we felt angry about (you shall to the judge on whether we are unreasonable):-
1. He complained that our choice of photoshoot is too far and we were caught at a traffic jam, he grumbles on alot of them was wasted.
2. He snubbed at my hubby when my hubby was wearing his jacket after getting out of the car when we reach the outdoor location that he wasted the time for not wearing the jacket in the car during the jam.
3. I was wearing heels and got stuck in wooden panels throughout the walk but he just kept walking fast in front of us, rushing us to walk faster. (Probably to catch the sunset... but if I fell down or injured... I guess we can have no photos at all. I was wearing heels as one of the gown is a short dress. End up, to "save time, I walked barefoot.
4. Though his intention was good to have nice creative angles for the photoshoot... We were forced to make many un-natural posses and I had some scratches on the feet when climbing up on rocks near the beach. He also did not care about whether some poses are logical or do-able or if we are hurt and uncomfortable during the process of making some poses.

Be it his intention to make his photos looked good... We really had a bad experience taking all the photos.

His control of timing for indoor and outdoor shoot is not well managed, hence resulting in delays in the outdoor shoot. Also, during the indoor shoots, there are also many occassions of techinical fault with his camera and the lightings which we were patient and understanding enough not to complain about.

I will not want to mention his name and there may be chances that he will improve on his service quality. However, we will just like to share our experience here and pre-empt brides out there that these are possible situations that can ruin your wedding photos.

Last but not least, I like to recommend my co-ordinator Fiona and the MUA Finex (not sure of the spelling) who were great. Fiona was committed in rushing my mtm gown for me in a short notice and it turned out beautiful. Finex's make up is also natural and nice.
 
hi joyce,
sorry to hear abt ur unhappiness.. is best not to mention his name cos understand that the lady boss will read this thread.. but seems like we were having the same PG..
my scenario is similar as ur's too.. techincal fault with the lightings during the indoor shoot.. as we are sharing the area with another couple, time was restricted too.. PG kep rushing us, then nag that we are delaying the time hence couldnt get a nicer view of the sunset.. tis and tat la.. and i didnt know that the PS will be ended after taking the sunset.. gosh.. and i had difficulty walking the wooden panels too and was stuck afew time, but he juz walk ahead of us without even waiting.. and i was like breathless and couldnt give a good smile and post at all.. i guess outdoor shoot will bounds to experience certain situations..
 
hey ladies, since u know lady boss watching this thread, better dun speak ill of her. else she might "revenge" by addition charges, so beware
 
Hi Joyce,

Sorry to hear about your unhappy encounter. Try not to brood over it and focus on the rest of your wedding preparation and make your actual day a beautiful one =) BTW, the MUA's name is Fynix and I agree that she is very nice.

thanks ladies. I am ok actually, my hubby and I are all ready to take pictures again for our future anniversaries at other countries. I am not at all worried that Ladyboss will look at my posting...I told her exactly the same comments and is really for her good as everyone of her employees are running the business under her brandname, she ought to know what's going on. I will recommend my frenz to YC for the co-ordinators and the MUA, but definitely not "that" photographer. Think he ought to learn to know what is "service". I really think there should not be any compromise between professional expectation and basic respect for customers.
 
Hi splendour,
trial make-up no cost as the MUA will not be using ampoule or fake eye lashes. do note that the trial make-up does not involve hairstyling. it will not be a very heavy makeup thou she will still put mascara & curl ur lashes. in this way u have no worries if u need to go out after that. for the PS and AD it will be heavier and will need to pay for the ampoule & eyelashes. the trial is more for the MUA to know ur preference and see the type of colour suit u.
 
oh by the way, those accessories for the hair, necklaces, earring will be provided by the MUA or the bs itself?

Do I have to get it on my own for the photo shoot?
 
a question for those who hv gone through the photo selection process... we will be given the soft copies of all our selected pics, but are they all unedited pics? i heard from the designer that they will only touch up the layout and not the individual pics, is that true?
 
for the individual selected pics, it will be given in softcopy but unedited. they will only give softcopy of the edited layout. if want them to edit the individual selected pics, have to pay extra.
 
Hi splendour,
I will use my own set. Those by MUA are usually crystal so I will be using my jewellery set from my parents.

Hi green, it is not really necessary as there's nothing much for the friend to do. But if you got some special arrangement, maybe can get a friend along. e.g. i got a friend who did a picnic setting with balloons so got a friend to help with the set up.

just got my portrait & album today. pretty satisfied. saw some new gowns on display which look nice nice but too bad I have already chosen my gown long ago hee hee.
 
Hi Yvonne Bride

Can i know any of the bride using May as your MUA? the comment that you gals are saying is it Alex? because I using him for the photo shooting? Please tell me
 
Hi,

I be going to see my photo layouot soon. Can i check with you. Let say the photo layout done up with the photo i choosen and it doesnt look nice, can i change to another photo and ask them to redo the photo layout on that page again?

Please advise. Thanks
 
hi mstomrs, it is not compulsory to buy ampoules from the MUA. you can bring your own if you want. but need to use ampoules else your make up cannot last the whole day. for me & my HTB, we bought ampoules from MUA and also the fake eyelashes.

Hi Bonjour, for the layout they can redo certainly but for changing the photo I am not sure. But I think you can try talking to them. Should be ok i think cos when they first show you the layout, it is not edited (as in not touched up) so not too much trouble to change a photo. but u better ask ur coordinator.
 
Hi Qun Qun,

Thanks for your reply.

I thgt the layout shall be edited and touch up then we go and take a look before it is printed to album. If they never show us the touch up.. then we wont know how good it is and how is the touch up.

Cos recently i see a person write in forum did remind us to make sure all the photo is touch up as compare to the original before it is printed to album
 
Hi Qun Qun,

thanks for your reply. Just wondering what kind of ampoule the MUA is using?

There is someone on the forum selling instant radiant bridal ampoule (supposedly for makeup).. Don't know if its the same type used by MUA?

Anyone bought before, can advise? Thanks!
 
My wedding was over 2 weeks ago, was reading the thread and i agreed that their photography service not very fantatic. My photographer was good and captured many nice shots and we actually paid a few k more to top up the pictures.

However, the weakness is the service given by their photography company. Little touch up done and in fact, the timing was so packed such that they are entertaining a few couples at a time, as such, they cannot focus on serving you and doing the touch up. Sometimes u ask for more touch up, they'll tell u not necessary and so on. My point is since we are paying so much, they should provide the kind of service. We did make separate trips cos they forgot our mini album and this was delayed, so in the end, my parents only got the album after the wedding.

Neverthless, the service by our coordinator Denise was good. In fact, both my hubby and I were happy with her. She's new there, probably only a year but she is friendly, humble and helpful.

Ok, going for honeymoon soon. Enjoy the preparations.
 
Hi Bonjour,
The first time you go down they will let you see the layout. If it is ok then they will do the touch-up and let you see. After you confirm everything then they will print. But as mentioned by 1192001, their photography company who do the touch-up, layout & printing is not very good. I was quite fed up with them at some moments. The first time we went down on weekend and they there are so many people that they cannot serve us properly. We asked them to re-do some of the layout and we went down anyday during weekday. To save ourselves from making another trip down, we stayed till quite late on that weekday to make sure all the touch-up was done and confirmed everything before we leave. But like 1192001, I find that Denise (coordinator) is good & so is my MUA Fynix & my PG (already left YC cos he went back to M'sia).

Hi mstomrs, I am not very sure which kinda ampoules MUA is using. There are many types. The one they using is supposed to make the makeup last longer. You can check with you MUA. But I think the one you saw on forum should be ok. You check with the seller of the ampoule.

Hi perfect moment, they do not have many outdoor wedding gowns to choose from but I managed to find a suitable one which my friend commented that it's nice. I chose a short gown for my outdoor shot as well. Didn't look very nice in real life but effect was pretty good on photos.
 
Hi qunqun,

I added you in my multiply. Saw ur pics...its actually very similar to my layout. hehe Now still waiting for the albums to be ready..=)
Ladies..you can me @ [email protected] in multuply. I've put up some (most actually)..hehe of my bridal shoots.=)
 
hi hi
can anyone shall with me how is ur payment scheme for your package?

And does ur package include MTM WG/EG & did you take it up??
 
Splendour,

The payment scheme is as follow.

$1000 upon sign up
$1000 at 1st fitting
$1000 at Photoshoot

Most package come with MTM . you can choose not to MTM and you will get extra photos in exchange.. but i heard those who have signed up recently .there is no MTM already..however I am not sure about this ..You can check with YC
 
hi Splendour,

i'm also following the same payment scheme as mentioned by Perfect moment.

for me, my package included mtm for both eg and wg.
 
Hi QunQun,

Thanks for your reply. Noted. But honestly speaking. I find their layout is not creative enough.

I have seen my layout and will be going down soon to see the touch up. I wonder they really got touch up or not. thus i have to compare my selected photo and the touch up one.

I find that there is a one full page with abt 6 to 7 poses in it. I believe they actually can break into another full page instead of squeezing 6 to 7 poses in one full page.

Overall i not really very satisfied with their layout but i have to give credit to abt 3 to 4 fantastic layouts that i like it alot.

I strongly feel they just do not have the Heart to really do the layout even better/nicer for customers.

This is one point i dont like, but i cant 100 percent fault them cos i later realise that by having more photos will enable them to be able to do more nice and creative photo.

Just that when i saw my friend layout and my layout i just feel that they can do it even better on all my layouts instead of only few of them is really fantastic.

However, if there is a rating to give for my overall layout, i will give abt 6 or 6.5 out of 10 but those few fantastic layouts, i will give abt 8.5 to 9 out of 10.

So i strongly those ppl who is going down to see the layout. to try to see other ppl layouts that is nice if can, so when u all went down to see your own layout, you all have some ideas how a better/nicer layout look like and so you all can tell the person to amend to what u like.
