La Sposa Bridal Gallery SS2 PJ

anyone care to share on the packages?

My husband and I have just finished taking our pre-wedding photos with Lasposa. We signed up for their package late November last year and our wedding is scheduled for November 2014. From the beginning, we were attracted to Lasposa because the sales staff Daphne is friendly and patient. She is a star. Every question we had was dealt with patiently, every request was accommodated to. In the days leading up to the pre-wedding shoot, I had many, many questions. Some I asked by way of telephone calls, some by e-mails and all of my questions were responded to almost immediately, with professionalism and patience. During the dress selection process, Daphne was very helpful. She was very responsive to suggestions, she made great recommendations. I had my grandma, my mom and my sister along. She also treated them with utmost kindness. During the pre-wedding shoot, Eve did my make up and she did an amazing job. I was initially very worried about the heavy make up but during the photos, the make up looked so natural, I was well pleased. Kwong was our photographer and he was very professional. He gave great directions, made jokes, and was very patient. In the selection for a bridal studio, I believe that service is the distinguishing factor. I've heard plenty of nightmarish stories about bridal studios who treat couples well at the point of signing up for packages, and once you've paid the deposit, the service start to deteriorate, thankfully so far we have had no bad encounters. We still have a good distance in our journey with Lasposa, photo selection, actual day dress selection, actual day photography, but so far, we have no complaints. Hope this helps all the couples out there in their selection. Happy planning!

This is an update to my review of 10 May 2014. I'm sorry to hear that Zil had a bad experience with Lasposa but I wanted to make clear that my comments still remain valid.

At our pre-wedding photo shoot, I had doubts about my dress selections and I found the experience to be quite uncomfortable. Furthermore, it was raining when we went out to do our outdoor photos but I found that the photographer was always pleasant, and patient with us. A few times he also made the "bye bye" comment but I think that is just his nature, and the nature of his job is demanding and physically tiring that it is understandable if there are moments when he demonstrates some level of impatience. For the happy shots, my husband and I also engaged in our own conversations and made our own jokes so that we are more relaxed. The photographer made no effort to make conversation with us but to me, I am fine with this approach. Speaking, joking and laughing with my husband puts me far more at ease than attempting an awkward conversation with the photographer would. Overall, I found Kwong's attitude to be professional and I did not encounter any particular issues with his mannerisms.

My husband and I went to Lasposa to select our pre-wedding photos. We had a total of 184 photos to choose from, and our package only allows us to take up to 50 photos (any additional photos have an extra surcharge). As we are decisive by nature, and being an extremely fussy person, I was able to narrow down 50 of my favourite photos quite quickly and without hassle. I was pleasantly surprised that there was no persuasion from the sales staff for us to top up or choose additional photos.

I was also surprised that I preferred more of the indoor photos than the outdoor ones. I found that the outdoor photos focused a lot on the scenery, not enough of our faces / expressions, but choosing both indoor and outdoor photos can add to a good balance in the books as the indoor ones had many close up shots and the outdoor ones had distance shots.

Eve's make up skills were excellent, all the photos look very natural and the make up was subtle. In the next month, we will be going back to review the layout of the photos for the photobook and prepare for the DVD presentation CD.

Hi~ Just sharing some of my experienced with Lasposa. I took the package last year. My photographer is Wilson, I think he is good and creative, and the whole pre-wedding photo session is going smooth and not as tired as we thought. My husband and me also found that he is quite professional and efficiency. For eg; if our posing or anything goes wrong in the photo shooting he will correct us and redo again immediately, and the outcome was good. Make us feel comfortable and not that tired, rather than took a lot of photos but outcome is not you aspect for. Thus, we have to choose 50 photos from 200-300 photos. My sales rep is Peggy. My first met her was during the Wedding Fair, as I have done quite a lot of surveys and comparison from Wedding Fair & online before I made up my decision. I feel she is quite friendly, different from other bridal shop that keep on forcing and giving you pressure to choose them during the WF, and their package price is very reasonable. Not like OTHERS BS, a lot of hidden charges. Eg; They divided wedding gown in certain group and that will have added charges (some even extra RM 800, and the gown still looks old fashion, this was what my friend has experienced from other BS). Besides that, I feel the workers there all are quite helpful and friendly(Sophia, kakak & etc), able to offer help and suggestions/opinions when you need it.
Therefore, I feel very happy and no regretful at all for choosing them. And I feel very happy, enjoy during my preparation for my wedding and without any depression. Whenever my friend asking about my pre-wedding photo package they also found it is at reasonable price and photo was nice. They do like it very much, and one of my friend has just signed their package recently!

Dear bride-to-be's,

I am a client of Lasposa and I have no regrets with my choice. Having been to several places with friends for their wedding gown hunting, and after doing my own research, I can tell you Lasposa is very good.

I love that they have no limit on the kinds of dresses for selection. There is no such thing as "limited edition" or "upgrade" collection. You can choose ANY gowns in the shop that are available (except the ones on sale). The collection is very updated and big.

Also, I went for gown selection and I changed my mind about the 2 dresses. I called Peggy (my go-to sales person) and she totally just allowed me to change my choices. She even tried to find the specific ones I saw on their website. No questions asked. She has patience and professionalism..and also, that girl is super happy all the time, which makes my experience so much more comfortable.

I love my makeup artist Candy also. She may appear fierce but she is rly a chatty person to be with. I love love love her makeup! So natural!! She was very accommodating and listened to the kind of styles that I expect. She goes with the flow. And she is awesome on our Ipoh photo shoot road trip.

My photographer was Kwong. I know Zil said she had a bad experience with him. I did a two day shoot with Kwong. One indoor and another day outdoor in Ipoh. Kwong directs alot for our indoor photoshoot, and after seeing our photos I don't blame him. We look so natural and good! I think we all have to trust that he is the experienced one. He knows what looks good in pictures. I know he likes to say bye-bye, but to me that is not rly rude. I mean, even DJs on radio do that too, to save time (eg. listen to One FM DJ Kean at night, and you will know what I mean.

Kwong was more relaxed and let us experiment more when we were in Ipoh. I think it was probably because of the different kind of setting and place. Indoor photos are tricky as it focuses on the ppl. Outdoors is about the "feeling" and the scenery. And that's where we actually had alot of fun. He is an Ipoh boy too, so he enjoyed taking us around and talking about Ipoh. Anyway, I viewed out photos few weeks ago, and we had SOOOOO many GOOOOD ones that it was hard for us to choose! We spent 3 hours just sitting there n contemplating. In the end we forked out 1k to get more photos. Even my fiance think it was still worth it.

I think it would be a plus if you could actually meet the photographer before hand, so that you would be prepared on who you are working with on your photos. We didn't manage to meet Kwong, but all the sample photos that we like were all consistently Kwong's work. So, no regrets there.

Another plus plus point for Lasposa, I have been to so many bridal boutiques, most of them DO NOT print their price on their catalogue, but Lasposa PRINTS OUT the price in their price menu book.

The price is stated there and not just quoted from the salesgirl's mouth. Other places will show you a menu of what's in their packages, but the prices are not stated. I feel this is very deceitful of them. Cos they could just quote a price based on how much they think you can afford and then negotiate from there. I didn't like it. Which was why Lasposa was my choice. I told them my budget is RM5k, and they showed me fixed prices printed out in their book. I love that kind of honesty.

I already recommended Lasposa to my friends. No regrets baby!
