Day 1 - Photoshoot at Desaru & Kota Tinggi

Hurray.. Finally the photoshoot day has arrived!!! On 16th October, we woke up super early and took a taxi down from Rochor to Johor for our photoshoot. At around 8.30am on our way to the customs, it started to rain very heavily. We started to get very worried as we are going to have our outdoor photoshoot. How if the rain doesn't stopped?

At around 10am, we reached the Crystal crown hotel to check in and deposit our luggage. hehe...Venus Bridal is just directly opposite the hotel. Super convenient. With Venus Bridal booking hotel for us, we managed to get a discount (no need to pay for additional tax and surcharge - Only RM155 per nite)

We proceeded to Venus Bridal at 10.30am sharp for our appointment as we do not want to be late. Once we reached, the professional make up artist, Liffey helped us to settle down and help me with the make up.

10.30 am to 11.30 am: Make up and hairstyling for Catherine. While i do my makeup, hubby will need to sit down at the couch to wait for me.. haha.. For gals, it's usually very long. Luckily, there's a television to keep him occupied.

11.30 am to 12 pm: Make up for Gregory
12 pm: Ready to go to our first destination: Desaru.

Luckily, by the time when we are about to set off to Desaru, the rain has stopped. There are a whole team of people following us: Photographer: Derrick, 2 photographer assistants: Weiming & Ah Qi, and videographer: Ah kok..

At around 2 pm, we reached Desaru. Ah kok commented that the sea scenery were the nicest on that day as the water is usually not so blue and clear.. Maybe it was due to the rain earlier on.

hehehe.... We started by taking some photos at the rock area. Derrick is really very professional.. I think the photos will turn out to be very nice. Here are some of the photos hubby take for me using a normal camera.

After which, we move on to the lalang field. Alot of grasshoppers.. Even got cockroachs crawling on me. Arhhhhhh.....

hehe... We didn't really stay very long at the lalang field. After a few shots, we moved on to the other side of the beach. At the beach, we have rose petals, champagne to accompany us. We were asked to take romantic shots and even some shots in the water. This makes our gown really very wet and dirty. However, we really got great fun!!!

After we took the a few shots in the water, we changed to our casual wear where Gregory will act in the scene, proposing to me (just like the proposal at Sentosa last year). hehe.. Alot of cute poses. haha.. but too bad, we did not take any shots using our camera because it's inside the car.

At around 4pm, we finished the photoshoot at Desaru.

After about 2 hours of travelling, we reached our next destination; Kota Tinggi waterfalls at 6pm. As our bridal package does not include the admission fee for the kota tinggi waterfall resort, we need to pay RM48 for 6 persons. hehe... I went on to change into the 2nd wedding gown which is in mermaid cut.

We finish the photoshoot at 7.15pm... By the time we reached the bridal studio, it's already 8pm. Such a tiring day!!!
