Wedding Dinner - Penang

I have finally gone through the pictures and compressed them for uploading to the web. I must say I'm not terribly pleased with some of the shots taken that night. Main gripes are:-

1. Too few pictures and too many bad pictures of the bride (He keeps catching my bad angles. What can I say, I am vain to a certain extent :p)

2. He could have taken more shots of the night. (a lot of 'artistic' shots were taken of peoples hands holding chopsticks, peoples feet, peoples kids - I understand artistic shots .. however there were just too many! I count 12 shots of chopstick holding hands. Isn't that a bit much?)

3. There weren't pictures of more guests. (He keeps taking pictures of the same guests... mostly of the prettiest ladies in the entire ballroom)

Apart from these 3 gripes, I don't really have much to complain about. I am just glad that we have pictures to remind us of that night. On hindsight, if I had RM 3.5K spare cash lying around I would have booked Whizarts for photography. Unfortunately, the conversion rate of RM to AUD is still mighty bad hence I had to limit my budget.

Ok enough said :) Pictures....

I smiled a lot that night, my eyes look nearly shut in most of the shots

Smiling while uncorking the bottle

The uncorking of the bottle was really quite funny. We were attempting to push the cork off with our thumbs and we were fully expecting it to shoot up at least one feet into the air. Instead, it just gave a flat " Phfft" and the cork fell onto the ground. Talk about anti climax!
