Review on official albums

hey guys..thank u kerana merasa saspen dgn prev entry itu..hehe..i'm in the midst of continuing the stories...jeng jeng jeng..hehehe..tunggguuuu..sambung sebelah ;p
Since many ppl hav been asking abt my official album yg blum direveal kan di blog..actually official photos mmg dah tepek sikit sana sini in some entries such as makeup review,dress review,
We had gotten the raw photos much earlier..and some pics were self edited..baru blaja2..huhuh
I love the outdoor shots by the junior photog...sungguh creative..angle pun cantik2.
Boleh tahan la cuma biasalah..ade moment2 yg termiss tu xperla.Komen dr photog lain gambanye tak cukup terang n tak sharp..mcm byk yg gerak2..tp mataku yg normal ni rase ok jelah seme..
After I received the soft copy of the album layout,i was stunned..
why..?
becoz they only edited the background..
The reason why I hired one of the best photog is becoz I hope they could solve my biggest prob which is to cover my acne scars(plus the dented during my wedding time...but alhamdulillah dented tu dah hilang and kulit tu dah rata blk skang)
But..hasilnya agak mengecewakan..they claimed that if they edited my face it will take long ...hmm..kiranye 3 bln tak sempat nak deliver album.
Tapi my engagement photog yg tak hebat n terkenal pun boleh edit my photo jadi cantik giler in 1 mth jer..
So after ive screened the layout,byk juga i tuka gamba sbb x sesuai..and some I demanded them to edit..a few photos jer pun..bukanlah edit jadi mcm Bunga Cinta Lestari pun..edit sikit2 jer..which i can do in 1min using auto blur..hehe
Kelmarin after we collected our album,I wasnt sad at all..eventho I wasnt happy w the outcome..sbb dah tgk layout so the expectation is there.Infact rase lega sbb dh dpt album,boleh jwb soalan org2 yg nak tgk album kan..hehe
But tiba2 tersentap bile dpt review from

Besfren-"gamba ni ko nampak scary babe.real life taklah teruk camni"
Ofismate laki-"uish..mcm nenek kebayan.bapok pun ade gak"
Mom-"eh..ni mcm byk yg tak edit.pastu yg edit nye nampak edit betol smpai nose line ilang..bibir putih"(wah..ibuku yg tak penah tau psl teknik edit mengedit ni komen!)
Sis-"weiiii..asal gamba ni kak diah nampak mcm hantu?"
MIL-"err..ade 1 gamba tu kenapa ek.."
(MIL hardly say bad things about ppl&things..susah nak dgr negative comments from MIL so when she said like that i immediately got it)

Amy org pertama tgk..die ckp cantik..hehehe..tp time tu gelap la amy..

so far baru 6 org je tgk album tu..huhuh..faham tak rase mcm insecure nak kluarkan wedding album tp dh bayar mahal2..kenelah tunjuk jugakkan..heheh

Personally I think they are nice...easy to work with and Fairuz pun baik orangnye..layankan aje kerenah kami..heheh
For aurinh dytia..gamba kamu cantik sbb kulit kamu cantik..
To Amy,jgn risau k...ur pix will be awesome!
For those yg kulit tak berapa nak licin mcm saya..better go for Syahrin Aziz..mahal sket jer..tp berbaloi..or other photogs pun ramai yg pandai edit muka..such as my engagement photographer dona lowwi.
Later i will upload the edited layout...sbb kene cari file tu&besar

photog is most important things yang perlu difikirkan dengan telus untuk hari bahagia kita... dats y beauty bab laen x memilih tapi bab photog memilih ckit... nak2 beauty memang tak santek so kene cari org bley buat beauty santek... hehheee ~shy

neway sis, u still santek amat if gambar gelap ke terang sangat ke sebab sis memang da santek cam snow white...;-)

Suzie said...

i felt the same too...sbb skin kan tk brape nak cantik pastu dia edit sket...byk gmbr yg cam 'ehhh apsal dia tak edit ni???!' %#@&*..haha..tu la byr sgt mahal tp hasil cam hampeh!baik lg wedd photog yg rmh kakak ipar,murah n cantik.

i guess some photogs yg rasa bagus berjanji itu ini blm tentu blh dipercayai mcm my case sbb dia ada byk cust. n yg kak suzie punya ni ada nampak ala2 pilih bulu,yg vvip client bkn main dia bg service baekkkk tp kita ni dia buat sipi2 walhal kita tetap byr.

i'm indeedly pun rasa mcm malas je nak tunjuk wedd album kat org lain.haihhhh.cuma outdoor session je kot yg kak suzie suka hasil dorg

Riena said...

diah.. bila kita tgk pic yg x cantik mesti frust kan? Hope x jadi mcm ni to me. aminnnn....insyallah ada kesempatan nk tgk album awak yer diah..:)

AmyMizzunderstood said...

ye la diah..amy plak tak tengok pic yang diorang edit after u dah edit kan?hehe..so sbb tu amy nampak cantik je..ala..kulit diah problem pun..diah tetap manis di hatiku..agagaga...tapi aritu tengok diah licin dah muka!apa rahsia?maybe dah happy bangat sekarang!agagaaga

Mrs. Amie said...

babe, i guess to much editing pun tak cantik.. i mean, sket2 ok la... sbb this is ourself kan.. masa I received my album, samalah mcm u.. gambar besar siap nampak liang2 roma lagi..ahahahaha.. tapi bila pikir2 balik, "Hey, it's me..dah mmg I camtue kan...". 1 lagi kan, i rasa yg junior blh edit sbb they have less job kot dr yg pro.. hihii.. tapi to be honest, i pun tak berapa gemar album i even dr pro-photog. gambar mcm kabur jer.. harus i benciiii! hahaha

Anonymous said...

diah, i phm perasaan u. coz bile kt hire photog mahal nih kt expect our face become flawless, eventhough in reality nye tidak ;p (ala2 mcm top model tuh, inreality takde la lawo mane pun)bile u komen mcm nih, i suppose i tak kan terkejut dgn my wed photo pulak yek. coz i pun hire avicenna ;p haha
anyway, pic tunang dlu tak edit pun, tp i redha jek sbb fren yg ambil kan bukan profesional puns.
takpe diah sabor jela.. i believe u mmg cantik ;p

pineappletart76 said...

Salam Diah ^^
saya ni ur silent reader, 1st time sy baca ur blog was the engagement post...best la bc ur blog!

Sy rs concern la pulak bile bc this post..sbb mcm kami ni,ade perbezaan ketara antara bride & groom punye skin tone...huhu..any recommendation x diah?

zLa said...

Aiseh..i thought the pros delivered as pros jugakla kan..hmmmmm...

this really helps on my next decision making...thanks a whole bunch, girl!

sueanne sunshine said...

gosh..im sorry diah, betul ke komen komen ni...mcam tak percaya..the wedding, the bride and the groom, everything seems so perfect, mana mana photgrapher sure could take beautiful piccas..! i nak marah lah the photographer!

ungu violet said...

betul tu diah.
a bit dissapointed kan bila tgk album tak berapa cantik. like mine, dia tak edit sangat so nampak jugak my scars. kalau sticky album boleh la kita edit dan print sendiri tapi customs redha je lah.hehe :P

Jaja said...

Diah, i already hired Avicenna but then i heard a lot of " tak sedap" stories bout them. They couldn't maintain the quality of their pics coz they take a lot of jobs and lastly have to outsource the editing etc etc to other party. Their delivery time also very bad. kenape other photographers can deliver in one month with editing yang mmg puas hati?

I'm contemplating on changing my official photographer and hire them just for pre wedding coz dah put down deposit byk. Rasa sakit hati nanti kalau the outcome is not as expected. Buat pe nk hire photographer ribu-riban kalau mcm tu rite? Kalau nk low quality baik hire yang tak femes sgt tp murah. lg puas hati.

fikaryna79 said...

diah..mcm 2 ker jd nya? scary gak utk wed ryna nanti..hrp2 ok la..

[ Hanie ] said...

ni yg rase rugi tak dpt join u all this weekend nih! huuu.
erm, sabarlah diah. mungkin dorang pun dah buat yg terbaik. tp kalau yg tk disengajakan tu, bole diterima lg..tp bile dgr komen2 negatif mcm tu, sape pun tak frust! gagaga.
hurmm, thanks for sharing. Harap ni akan membantu bride to be yg lain dan kpd photographer di luar sana.

p/s: tetibe rase seram plak involved dlm bidang wedding photography ni :D

syanaim said...

::diahh..photographer mana?mana tau lps ni nasya leh blacklist diorg utk my wedding phtoto..::

misz beauty said...

BuTtErFlyInFraMe said...

takpe sis..at least you have something dari takde langsung kan...and how nice or bad it is, it still a memory and experience..lps ni kalau ada yg mtk pendapat, leh bagi...heheh :)

Lea Shmea said...

photographers yg mahal suka buat hal. yg murah pun lebih kurang je. basically, tak byk photographer yg menepati janji. haihh.

dialicious said...

pineapple-thank u..i've visited ur blog too..best..so many ideas!diff skin tone senang jer..bykkan edit color..photog suka je nak black&white kan gamba tu..im sure tak notice sgt kan the difference..hehe

Zla-welkam..ala..u xde blog yer..xleh click pun :(

Sue-gamba ok!cuma tak edit je..huhu

Anon-Sekurang kurangnya nak tutup jgklah flaws kan.If u already have a good skin then no need to worry la.Mine mmg ade prob pun in d 1st place

Nariko said...

puan diah, byk bersabar k, whats done is done.. thanks for sharing, anyway to me, mesti ada 1,2 perkara yg kita tak puas hati, but your majlis is near perfect, dun worry too much yea... nmpk cun je i tgk gambar u

diana zainal said...

hmm.. that was what i felt masa dapat album (yang siap 3 bulan jugak after my wedding).. Again, my review would be bias since I didnt get the photos from my second reception from Fairuz. Nice to work with - that's a given sebab they have to build good rapport with customers (for any type of business as a matter of fact)- yang penting they have to deliver what we paid them for.

I just can't help it.. I'm still bias towards F. :p

dialicious said...

nariko-yup true..there will always be sumthing to say kan..gamba yg cun tu self edited..huhuhuh..tq azi

Diana-yeah..in ur case lagilah kesian..im sure ur album yg ade tu is better than mine..hehe

maria-dapat mkn nasi kandar pelita tadi terus Diah happy..senangkan:D

Sha Pattinson said...

OMG ..yeker??i baru nak cari utk wedding i kat seremban tue..tapi i tgk beberapa ur picture tu seems perfect jerk ...i nak cari photogrpher nih ader recomendation tak ..utk majlis bertandang i .. sabar yea ..bole tue suruh org lain edit ..tapi aper pon u still gojes okay!!!!!

Fathiyah said...

lama gak ye awak dpt album.
yalah,kdg2 photog tak glamer but their job very vass!alhamdullilah,kte puas hati dgn gambar kawen.ok lah ;) mcm diah ckp,mata sendiri tgk ok je kan.hehe

aurinh said...

diah -- *huggles* I know how u feel. You pun persankan I dapat my photo album lambat but I know the reason was becos office diorang kena broke in.

Fairuz still hutang me 2 framed pics.. despite I dah bayar habis. Album I dapat lambat. kena kejar dia dua tiga kali.

My skin not that perfect sangat. --sebelum kawin tu monthly facisl help out sangat -- even out skin tone

And I do admit editing avicenna not that good *pasal kat umah I prob dengan lighting so gambar banyak jadi terover tone greenish... gambar sanding tak lawa langsung. Asalnya I suruh Fairuz edit habis -- last2 tak edit sangat and colour my pics a bit off.

Personally I prefer my album yang I edit sendiri compared to their album editing. Tapi I mmg nak sangat at least 1 storyboard album keras ala cardboard tu so I redha sgt.

Nak ambik syahrin aziz -- harapan dah punah bila I tanya -- dia charge RM5K per event kalau nak syahrin bukan junior dia yang tangkap... kalau nikah plus sanding -- RM10 K --> dah boleh buat duit buat kabinet dapur rumah LOL.

I still say your pics looked lovely and I do say you should ask Fairuz to re-edit ur pics -- esp cos any bad reviews of them online would surely affect diorang punya periuk nasi sedikit sebanyak ok...

[ Hanie ] said...

huih, jgn ckp begitu diah...i'm nervers!! huu
masih byk yg perlu dibaiki dan masih admire dgn hasil2 profesional yg lain, kami masih jauh lagi nak tandingi dorang.

Hik2..best ape ajak mkn2 jer, boleh tgk u serta menikmati setiap yg ade dlm dewan tu..(erk over ayat i tau) & dgn beramah-tamah blogger lain..tak gitu? :D

dialicious said...

hanie-hahaha..lawak jer..nanti kite jmpe kt wedd sape2 ek after this

aurinh-oh deaarrr*hugs* im sorry abt ur greenish album too.i lega sgt baca ur comment.which means i wasnt over reacting..huhuh..i takot i jer rase album i teruk..but ur totally right bout their poor editing.prolly they kejar so many jobs lately.redha jela kan.anil said..she got rm4.5K for 3 events shot by Syahrin siap dpt 5albums tu!..i was surprised!I might send my photos for reediting by other photogs kalau ade rezeki lebih..hehe..tq for sharing!

dialicious said...

Fathiyah-awak dh dpt album awak ker?besnyee cepat betol

sha-betul tu sha..i pun nak reedit blk dgn org lain.ramai lagi photog hebat&murah2..u google je..hehe

aurinh said...

diah - seriously RM4.5 K jer??? but then budget I mmg RM 2K less - so still tak mampu gak nak ambik syahrin. Anyway kalau ada rezeki lebih -- nak rasa gak syahrin tangkap gambar kita -- gambar post weding photoshoot ker.. *wink* tapi hubby rasanya takkan nak nyer

no lah - ur not over reacting. I pun rasa frustrated pasal kena kejar album tak siap tu. That's why I edit my photos myself and print kat photobook dulu -- puas hati.

If you have extra money - upah jer sesapa photog edit the pics back and reprint your album guna photobook malaysia - I think tgh promo 25% off now --I think la ke dah habis dah...

jetsetter said...

Btol la kata u..bila kita bayar dah mahal2 kita nk la yg the best kan.Tpkan u boleh suh photographer u buat balik kan?I kalau tak puas hati..mmg terus je ckp..lantakla dah bayar mahal2..mana boleh camtu je.

diana zainal said...

my cousin used Kid Chan as her wedding photog..was superbly done. Fantastic result! I mean, we pay medium price therefore it should be meeting or above expectations. If we pay premium price for it we'll definitely get a great outcome such as Kid Chan's. Tapi tak semestinya when we render the services of a-not-so expensive photog, photog tu hanya bagi result below expectations kan?
btw, my friend used Subhi Karim for her wedding and the outcome was good. We also used her for our 10th yr school reunion. :)

syarina said...

diah, my engagement pics dah setahun lebih tak dapat2 lg album.. sbb amik member punya pasal.. kitorg decide nak print sendiri je pakai photobook.
betul ke anil dpt 4.5k for syahrin aziz? i did ask him for quote, he put 10k for 3 events.. 1 event je 3k.. mmg tak mampulah..

A Wedding Photographer said...

salam diah

saya dapat link you dari seorang teman. terkedu saya membacanya.

saya kenal fairuz. saya tahu hasil dia. u pun pasti tahu hasil dia, masakan u hire dia tanpa mengenali hasil kerja fairuz bagaimana. jadi janganlah dipertikaikan hasil kerja seseorang, kerana ianya adalah sangat subjektif.

tetapi melayari nukilan you dan komen-komen pembaca you disini, saya dapat simpulkan bahawa you guys missed satu point penting disini, iaitu kepentingan MAKEUP ARTIST. tak ada rasanya sesiapa disini yang menyuarakan akan hal ini.

tahukah saudari sebagai seorang photographer, kami sebaik mungkin merakamkan detik-detik indah buat saudari dengan pelbagai peralatan,kemudian berhempas pulas pula mengedit gambar dan seterusnya menyiapkan pula album. terlalu banyak sudah rasanya tanggungjawab kami sebagai photographer. sekarang, tugas kami pula mencantikkan kulit anda?

apakah sebabnya nurul shukor, makeup artist terkenal charge sehingga rm1500? kak saidatulnisa, sehingga rm1000? tak silap saya, kerana kepakaran mereka mengendalikan pengantin-pengantin yang muka mereka tidak berapa elok. sekiranya pada peringkat awal, you menyedari akan keadaan kulit muka you, sewajarnya you memilih untuk menggunakan khidmat mereka yang betul-betul pakar, bukan sekadar makeup artist rm300-400, yang tidak terbukti lagi kebolehan mereka menutup flaw di muka anda.


saya tidak membela fairuz disini cuma ingin memberikan satu perspektif baru buat semua. jangan hanya salahkan photographer, peranan makeup artist juga HARUS diambilkira.


salam.

dialicious said...

anil-yeap..nuthing is perfect i know.

A wedding photographer-Hi..thanx for dropping by.Yea betul..gamba fairuz mmg cantik..angle sgt kreatif..x dinafikan.yg tak puas hati cuma editing di muka jer..rasanya xdelah susah mana kan..photographer unofficial saya boleh deliver edited pics yg amat berpuas hati..saya boleh letak gamba kwn2 saya yg dorg edit sblh my official album side by side dlm blog ni tp nanti ketara sangat perbezaan.
For ur info,my makeup was done by Sue Cantik,a well known name in wedding industry and she charged RM950 per session..
Mula2 saya igt photographer yg bz mmg edit begitu tp setelah review oleh kwn2 photographer yg professional,they agreed that the pics could have been edited better.
So i dunno y Avicenna didnt edit the pics properly&i know they know it.Tapi saya terima je album tu dgn redha sbb whats past is past.Lagipun Fairuz is a nice guy.I just wish they had the feedback form from their customers.
