My site was nominated for Best Photography Blog!

Welcome to Anna-Rina’s blogsite (yes, it’s a blog AND a website). I’m a wedding and lifestyle portrait photographer based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

I have had experience covering weddings & portrait sessions not only all over Malaysia but also at overseas locations such as Perth, Singapore, Bali and Krabi. As cliched as this may sound, I feel blessed to have a career that I love with absolute passion as it allows me to meet people from all sorts of background, capturing them at the happiest and most memorable moments of their lives.

This blogsite also serves as a personal journal on my daily (mis)adventures not only as a photographer but as a daughter, friend and workout enthusiast (I’ve even got a separate blog dedicated to tracking my daily workouts. Yes, workout junkie I am >.<)

Do scroll through the above navigation bar to get more details on the photography services that I provide and check out the below blog posts which showcases some of my favourite photos from recent wedding and lifestyle portrait sessions.

Feel free to leave a comment and share some love in this lil’ blogosphere of mine. At least I would know I’m not talking to myself ;) Then again, I do that quite often…..I kid, I kiiid. Have an awesome day ahead and thanks again for dropping by!

Introduction

Thanks for dropping by. I’m Anna-Rina, a full-time wedding and portrait photographer based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

My specialty is shooting both candid and fun, posed shots with available light, capturing my clients at their best.


Here are some ‘interesting’ facts about me:
* Of Malay-Chinese parentage - besides being able to speak English, Mandarin and Malay, I also converse fluently in 3 Chinese dialects: Cantonese, Hakka and Hokkien.
* Originally from Kota Kinabalu, I’ve been living in the city of KL since 1999. I go back to Sabah to visit my parents whenever the opportunity arises. Ya, Sabah mari bah!
* I love hearing stories about how my clients first met, their funny incidents, their hopes, their dreams. Don’t be surprised if I end up asking you a lot of questions. Sometimes, I tend to suffer from verbal diarrhoea :p
* I’m a self-taught photographer. Learning through photography magazines, workshops, online forums and questioning experienced photographers, I believe in constantly improving my photographic skills to ensure that I am able to provide the freshest look and, what I hope to be, the best for my clients.
* In my ‘past life’, I worked as an Advertising & PR Senior Executive for a global sports brand. After many months of contemplation, I took the big leap and left my high flying job in September 2007 to pursue one of my greatest passions - photography.
* I truly, madly, deeply love what I’m doing now and I am absolutely honoured to have been part of my clients’ special days and to have made new friends in the process. I look forward to being part of your special day too.
* When not shooting, I enjoy fitness activities such as hiking, jogging, Crossfit training and when I can squeeze in the time, rock climbing.
* When I have time, I love to read. Novels, autobiographies, travelogues - love them all. Some of my favourite writers include Neil Gaiman, Tiziano Terzani, Bill Bryson and Clive Barker.
* I’m in a love triangle as I’ve got 2 men in my life - Paco and Onni. Honestly, I love them both equally. Oh, did I mention they’re both my cameras? Yes, they have names. But of course!
* I’m a closet romantic (shhh…it’s supposed to be a secret) - that’s why I love shooting weddings.
* I have a weird, funny laugh. Hur hur hur :p
* My profile pic was shot by Asyraf Lee, thanks bro!
