We won a free wedding photo shoot package worth $2,888 and a One Nite Wkend stay @ Meritus Mandrain Hotel @ Wedding Show back in Dec 09 in a lucky draw. Initially we were very happy, as this is the first time we have ever win a prize in a lucky draw.
As we already had a wedding package, we tried to sell this package away, going as low as $1,488. When we went down to the shop to find out more details about the package, we found out that it was all a marketing gimmick !!
This is not even good enough to be considered a full pre-wedding shoot package. Considering that it is a $2,888, which is only a few hundred off the usual $3,388 package that most bridal shops are offering, this package totally sucks!! This is juz like a NORMAL photoshoot tat's all, with free rental of 2 wedding gowns and there's only 12 poses !
The boss tried to explain to us and keep persuading us to top up to make the package a complete one, thinking that we are some fools. To me, this thingy is worth at most $1 k ! When we tell him wat we can really get for a $2,888 package else where, the boss was at a loss for words. What does this say ??
Not willing to fork out anything and pissed with the attitude of the boss, we told him that we'll juz take the free package that's offered to us. Arranged the photo shoot a week before CNY........
After the photoshoot, arranged another day to select the 12 photos that we like. Again, the boss try to persuade us to fork out like $100 for each page of album with design, and for the whole album to have design inside of juz a full page photo, it cost like some $1,500 !!!
Crazy !!!! $1,500 on top of a package that is worth $2,888 gives u $4K plus package. And a $4K plus package for juz a 12 poses album with some art page design?? And we ask him if anyone would actually pay $4K plus for this kind of end product, he again got nothing to say.
Collected the album today and below are the 12 photos that we chose in the end...........
Seems like the photographer likes to cut off my head
(>.<) 
The photo that i like best among the 12 photos
We have to think some of the poses ourselves instead of the photographers directing us. Not a very good experience either. Thank god this is not the actual pre-wedding shoot, else both of us would definitely regret it !
