Hi Jackieng,

i did not top up so much. Only $320. Who is your photographer ? Mine is Kenny. Skills juz above avg.

Hi LaLaBellacount, mine is also kenny, he's good, up to my expectation. but bcos of my budget and my oversea pre wedding shoot, i didnt top up much. only top up $280. i didnt get back the soft copy cos i invest alot on my oversea pre wed pic alr hah.

You seems to be not very happy with kenny? what happen? maybe diff couple diff expectation. cos both me and my hubby like kenny and my hubby even said he is very paitence and good at capturing natual expression moments.

I thought the photographers should be experienced to bring us to the different shoot venues.
So you mean we still got to do research on their behalf?

Hi Jenna,

As diff couples have diff expectations on the type of photos, scenic views and feel of photos, naturally couples should do their own research and let the PG know where to go. Before my PG, i got to meet kenny and discuss where we were thinking about going, the kinds of shots we wanted etc and he actually told us that our selected outfits for outdoor might not be suitable and actually got our coordinator to agree to help change our outfits as we were v v keen on our outdoor shots even tho the seamstress had already made the alterations to the original set. Also, for our 3rd venue, we wanted sunset shots but were also thinking if we could go to East Coast Park as that place holds special memories and Kenny told us for the timing we were there, East Coast would not be suitable and give suggestions on where else we can go if we really wanted sunset shots. So actually if you know what's your style, you can speak to him and discuss and he'll give suggestions on what feel is suitable for that kind of location, what kind of gowns and if you're unsure where in Sg has such views, i'm sure he'll be able to recommend. Believe La Belle isn't the only one that asks couples doing local shoots to let them know of venues so couples can take shots in place that they want and may hold special meaning (places they met, places he proposed etc).

So far my experience with La Belle is on the whole satisfactory. Sometimes HTB and I werent v happy with certain things but I find that they are generally accomodating and willing to suit our demands, just that you may at times need to be firm with them on your expectations. Have to be fair to La Belle; while they're not perfect, I can't say they're horrible and that I'm on the whole still pretty happy with their service.

Totally agreed with phoebel. Cos only we know best what we like and places that attracts us and were meaningful to us. We suggest to photographer then they listen and use according. It's a waste of time if the photographer start suggesting without knowing what we like. Kenny is a good listener I would say, he even suggest props to bring to make our shoot more interesting . Currently so far so good ba for me. I'm happy with the service .

Hmm more ideas won't hurt ba. It's a fun process anyway haha

Kenny's quite a nice guy, reminds me of a gentle giant. He recommended us to the Hort Park and Portsdown road. It was pouring on Sat thru the time when we were doing indoor shoot, and the weather was fine when we were ready to go outside.

MUA's Lily, love her work on us. She made hairdo and make-up look like a breeze!

Hi

Anyone signed a package with La Belle at the BOWs that was just over the weekend from 11 to 14 Oct? If there is, can share the package details? Me and my partner were quite upset with them as we signed our package with them a few weeks back and we specifically asked if they were going to have any upcoming bridal shows as we hope to be able to get a better deal - their reply was no and they do not participate in such roadshows. Went to the roadshow over the weekend and saw them right there. They could have been more honest and upfront..

arieltoh, I have the same problem with this.. Did u feedback to them? than get them to give u the promotion they have during BOW. I only signed up AD package, so its not much different for me. but I think with PS package will be lor... But the Labelle Facebook did announce that they will participate in BOW. Mine was at Wedding fair 2012 at Plaza Sing.

Hi hi..
Yeap..I think there will be quite a fair bit of difference in the perks given that its a roadshow..therefore me and my partner felt cheated..they could have let us know about the roadshow and we do not mind commiting to them in advance..we had an experience with banquet hotel where the manager was upfront with us that the hotel will b having a roadshow in a month's time and he could soft book the date for us and we can enjoy the perks during the roadshow. We appreciated his gesture and we knew we had to hold our banquet with them. My point is we are not hard up for additional discounts but this is really kinda unethical.

Will be meeting the bridal soon and will feedback to them about this.
