Well, not yet….
I spent the whole of Sunday with a professional photographer picking up whatever tips he deigned to throw my way about taking portrait shots. He had a swanky Nikon DLSR with giant telephoto lenses while I had my dinky little point and shoot Canon 860 IS.
He was actually shooting my sister’s pre-wedding photographs and I was roped in as driver cum assistant cum “dress fluffer”. The latter assignment so named because I had to make sure the line of her dress looked good, and the best way was to pick up the train and “fluff” it out. Who better to know anything about fluff than Paris B?! hehe… 
The weather wasn’t bright and sunny but the rains held until all the important photos were taken. Anyway, there were loads of photos taken and I was so tired at the end of the day. But PE and J looked so good in the photos I can’t wait to see the finished product when the photographer rolls it out! 
I snuck quite a few pictures and at the end of the day, even doubled up as a stand in photographer when it started to drizzle and the pros had to pack up and go home. Here’s a picture I did sneak while the real photos were being taken. I thought it was lovely and artsy.
What say you? Do I have the makings of a wedding photographer?

Woot! You are definitely wedding photographer material!
Imagine what you could have done with a DSLR! Neway thanks for helping out 
Photo looks great, dearie! I can’t wait for the rest!
Now why didn’t you become my “fluffer” when I had my shots taken? Maybe cos I didn’t wear too fluffy a dress?
PE: Ya lor now I want a DSLR!
giddy tigress: Don’t know if the rest will ever see the light of day here hehe… It wasn’t too fluffy a dress but a bit o fluff makes all the difference
Aww that’s a great shot indeed. Hey I never had a gown fluffer too. Shucks :p
Hehehe… the dark side calls to you… get a DSLR! get a DSLR! LOL.
Hey, I want a gown-fluffer too! Must go bully my best friend into agreeing to be mine when the time comes. Hehe.
Sweetie!
Say congrats to your sis from me.
Fluffer!? Do you know what that actually refers to in showbizness? In porn industry the “fluffer” keeps the male adult actor “at attention” while the camera is not on!!! Teeheehee!
Am in NY at the mo, very tired. But wont forget the shopping list. ciao!
BTW, eletronic items are sooooo cheap here!!!!!!!!!!! You know, mobile phones that we buy for RM800 here the phone guy at the AT&T is telling me they gave these phones for free 2 years ago!!! OMG! We are just a dumping ground for the first world comsumer items!

Good on ya, PE… nice to know the wedding prep’s coming along great!
Great shot! You definitely have an eye for wed photographer.
I wish I had a fluffer too …
I’m back!! Hehe…don’t worry, Louis’ photos always come out great – I’ve always told him he HAS to do my wedding photos (if the time ever comes, and at any cost!)
Oh, and to Tine – hoi, I fluffeded your dress at the church forgot liao?
besides, you had three bridesmaids…gown fluffers in waiting? 
PB, you could do ANYTHING if you wanted to…I’m sure some would PAY for your gown-fluffing skills too (serious!)
Tine: I’m sure you did! Bee confirmed it hehe…
Rinnah: Yes make sure you have a dress fluffer for the big day. I’m still thinking about that dslr
Oddie: Mon ami! Hope you are having lots of fun in NY *jealous jealous* And erm.. I shouldn’t be proud of being a fluffer then?
CheeseY: Yay! Wedding photographers make lots of money hehe…
Andie: Thanks so much coming from a great photographer like you are!
Beetrice: Whee! You’re back!! Louis is only happening at the wedding. The pre-wed shots were taken by John Ishii and I’m sure they’ll turn out great!! I should advertise my skills huh? Gown Fluffer – will fluff gowns only not other erm.. things hehe
OMG…it was John Ishii? Haha…small world! I’ve known him for years – also another fab photographer…tell him I said hi…LOL…
Yes yes, I’m aware that the girls that get the guys *ahem* in porn flicks (off camera) are also known as ‘fluffers’…so better be specific!
