Last weekend, I had the a great opportunity to shoot with Amru from EnchantedForest. I met Amru at Louis Pang’s Ordinary to Extraordinary Workshop in KL. I jumped on it the moment he offered me the rare opportunity to tag along and experience how a Malay Wedding was like. It was the first time that I ever photographed a Malay Wedding.

The bride and groom, Kamarul and Maslina were Amru’s clients and long time friends. It was really great to see how Amru works and how he communicates with his clients. Here are some of the photos that I took that day.

I love this shot. A lil’ bit of mystery and beauty to it.

After the wedding reception, we went to a park nearby to take some portraiture shots. It was raining slightly and Kamarul and Maslina were very patient and endured the raindrops with us.

It’s truly a great experience in photographing a Malay Wedding. When I left for Singapore the next day, I just couldn’t help but craved for more. It’s different from the weddings that I normally shoot but I just love photographing people and seeing two people in love, it is just priceless. Kamarul and Maslina, thanks for letting me tag along on your wedding day and keeping up to my persistence. It was a lovely wedding and I really enjoyed the whole event… especially the delicious food! If you’ve read Amru’s blog, you would know that I even tapau‘ed the food back for my wife that day!

As for Amru, thanks for letting me tag along. I love the fact that we got to know each other quickly and shooting with you was indeed a fun experience. Looking forward to shooting with you again!
