Brides Asia 2007

Was busy over the latter part of last week, hence the lack of updates. Hope SOMEBODY dun take it to heart. Hahaha. Was helping Terry and Ginos with their bridal roadshow at Suntec. Response was really good. In fact, it was the best out of the roadshows that we've done. Terry's a happy man. Haha. so am I.

Ginos throwing up her hands in mock exasperation. Look at the amount of things to be shifted!

Suntec. Terry engrossed in paperwork. Me taking a breather.

Distracted by the exhibitor's pass.

Setting up. Thank God Lin Biao came to help. So many improvisions, that man never fails to amaze me with how he makes use of limited resources.

Trying to make sense of the chaos.

Tadah! The final setup! Yes! We brought a COUCH and a LAMP there. Nice touch don't you think?

Check out the gorgeous life size print of Martin and Sandy.

Day One

Terry and Ginos

Me doing what I do best. PRETENDING to be busy.

Day Two

We modified the setup a lil bit after the first day there.

Terry and Dan taking a rare breather.

Busted! Nope, we weren't skiving. This is us wolfing down our lunch before the crowd comes.

Grace eyeing my fries.

Such a concidence, HuW and Joelle's album shows them eating. So were we!

How come it looks so empty? I hear you ask. Well, cause we had no chance to take photos once the people started coming in. Haha. Yup that's right! There were times when we couldn't entertain some of the couples at our booth because everyone was already attending to customers.

I love helping out at their roadshow. The hectic pre-roadshow mad rush is very invigorating! Then you get to look at beautiful photos for three days straight. Lastly you get to meet couples so hopelessly in love. How cool's that!

Oh, Prof Duffy from NTU mass comm actually dropped by our booth from the symposium downstairs! And he liked our work, such a compliment. Heh. I actually closed two deals! Haha that's a first.

I guess staying true to Oneeyeclick's policy/belief of NO harassing NOR pressurising the potential customers really helped. It's a freaking cut-throat and intense industry. Word of warning, bridal studios can be really harassing. But you should never let them harass you into any thing. Couples were so "abused" and turned off by them that they walked around the exhibition hall dodging every other exhibitor. Tsk tsk.

I guess we did SOMETHING right, cause customers that stopped by our booth all expressed gratitude that we didn't harass/emotionally blackmail them into anything. Most were happy that we actually took time to listen to their needs and cater something for them, instead of just trying to force something onto them.

See! Just shows how far you can go by being nice and actually LISTENING. Feel free to visit Oneeyeclick for all of your photography needs!
