In an industry that is filled with numerous talented photographers, stands out a very passionate and driven individual – Hafiz Ismail. His profile reads as:

“Hafiz Ismail is a full time professional photographer. He owns the Hafiz Ismail Photography brand as well as the WOW! Art & Photography brand. He is the Founder and Principal Photographer of Lensa Wow Sdn Bhd.”

Despite all this serious business-speak write up, Hafiz is a jovial person at heart with a infectious, bubbly personality – a definite plus! Especially when it comes to photographing couples in their most emotional &  intimate moments – not the voyeur type, mind you but during their wedding portraiture & ceremony sessions.

He is one of the few photographers who will literally laugh and cry with his couples during the emotional moments of their photoshoot sessions – that’s how connected and committed Hafiz is….

While Hafiz is not a freshie in this business, he definitely brings a fresh perspective to the wedding photography scene in Malaysia. Seriously, how often do you see photos of big red sofa chairs in the middle of the road; brides wearing white frame sunnies or donning white/colorful track shoes sitting atop a piano which all turns out looking absolutely fabulous with PrettyInWhite wedding gowns?

We are excited to have Hafiz Ismail of Hafiz Ismail Photographyas one of PrettyInWhite’s preferred photography partner. It’s nice to work with photographers who constantly challenge themselves to bring in a fresh look & feel to their work. After all, it is our clients who will ultimately benefit from our combined talent & work effort.

You know you have served a client well when she simply describes her wedding preparation and ceremony as:

” I was happy, at peace, and enjoyed the company of friends and family with my husband at my side – but it was also a symbolic day, a day of deep meaning “

Alice thoroughly enjoyed her Wedding Day as she has cleverly selected a team of professional wedding vendors to handle her once-in-a-lifetime event. Not surprisingly, a few of of them are our preferred partners – notably Make-up artist Lee Kuen of Bridal Glam & Photographer Andy Lim of Andy Lim Photography.

When a client takes her time to record her appreciation, it simply means that we are doing our job right. We won’t rehash what Alice has to say about our products and services, as she has written a wonderful article on her wedding vendors in her personal blog.

Our designer Elaine did a marvelous job of custom designing Alice’s Cheongsam, Wedding Shoes, Bridesmaid’s Dress and not forgetting Alice’s mum’s elegant Evening Gowns.

You can read Alice’s delightful testimony of her wedding vendors at:

At the risk of sounding cliche, it is indeed our pleasure and we thank Alice for making PrettyInWhite a part of her wonderful wedding celebration.

Well it’s time to put this matter to rest, in the passionate Italian “Godfather” style;

The reason why our dry cleaning charges are kept separate is because we don’t restrict the number of times a customer wants to take her rented wedding gown out. Our customers have the liberty of taking their rented wedding gowns out  as many times as they require;  for their pre wedding photoshoot session, their wedding ceremony; and in some cases for their second or even third wedding dinner ceremonies which are held at later dates. This flexibility comes at no extra charge when a bride rents a wedding gown from Pretty In White.

In order to fulfill our customers hectic requirements we need to dry-clean the gown more than once in order for the bride to wear a clean gown for her next occasion. Every bride has her own special arrangements, as such we can’t determine the number of times she needs to take her gown out. So, we decided to keep the dry cleaning charges separate and each bride only need to pay according to her own usage.

Dry Cleaning is also a highly complex process which requires the expert knowledge of chemicals, correct temperature and ideal pressure steam settings. Yes, you need a Science Degree to become a professional Dry-Cleaner! And this is the reason why we insist on using our approved Dry Cleaner who is familiar with the delicate fabrics that we use – not to mention the beadings, patch lace work and trimmings of our gowns. Not only do we get your gown cleaned, our designers will repair any loose finishing and replace missing pieces so your wedding gown will be in its pristine condition. You simply can’t obtain this type of expert knowledge and level of service from any where else.

Now, isn’t this worth paying for a peace of mind?

We guarantee that both presentations will be lively & interactive as we will be using real brides to showcase our gowns & shoes. During this workshop you will be getting expert advice that is practical & useful, not only from our designers, but also from our preferred partner, Ms Lee Kuen of Bridal-Glam, who is amongst the renowned make up artist in Malaysia. AS an added bonus, Pretty In White will be offering special prices for our products, exclusively for our workshop participants.

Holiday Inn Glenmarie is hosting this event and providing a sumptuous spread, besides offering irresistible wedding packages. This will be a wonderful chance for you to meet our designers in person & ask them all the questions that you have in mind, and we will answer to all your queries. So to all brides-to-be who are looking for useful fashion tips, sensible advice & great deals, please refer to our attached photo/flyer, pick up the phone and call Hannah or Cammie to book your seat. Hurry, hurry as available seats are running out fast.

See you at Holiday Inn Glenmarie!

The unveiling of our Celestial Collection at MIFA 2009 on Nov 7th has certainly left a lasting impression on our invited guests. We have been receiving awesome feedback on the quality of our design and craftsmanship of our gowns. Not to mention, that pre-booking & sales of the Celestial Collection gowns which started well before last Saturday’s show has been very brisk.

The introduction of our Celestial Label Gowns has certainly convinced our clients & industry partners of Pretty In White’s ability to create, as our guests in general put it,  quote “… a repertoire of awesomely gorgeous wedding gowns … ” unquote.

Other comments from our guests;

“Pretty in White showcased a repertoire of awesomely gorgeous wedding gown dresses. This would be Serge’s first time looking at a wedding gown collection and by the celestial moons, it’s gorgeous and mesmerizing. Another eye opener of the showcase was how the best looking Celestial Collection was not the one with an elaborate design but the one with simplicity.” – Serge Norguard

“..it was a very refreshing preview of what Pretty In White (PIW) has to offer. It certainly did not fit into any of the conventional bridal gowns, but to think about it these gowns are unique and beautiful in their own way. I love how they incorporate fascinators into the collection, something uncommon in Malaysia at the moment.” - Nileey’s Sphere.

Once again, on behalf of the team at Pretty In White, we thank you all for your comments and support! We hope to see you again at our next show! Stay tuned for more updates!
