Aizat & Majidah Nikah 1st December 2009

Aizat  & Majidah. Akad Nikah was held in Ipoh, Perak. What a lovely couple.

There were so many things happening at the same time! Doing a Malay wedding ceremony, you have to be alert all the time! I love taking shots of the hantaran, kids playing, friends and of course the rombongan pengantin lelaki.

The most important ritual! The Akad Nikah.

Being the pengantin lelaki, it must be so difficult to keep your composure, while being asked with questions by the Tok Kadi. Flashes  from the cameras, microphones are the order of the day. 

Aizat being very relax. That's how it should be!

Today's ceremony, there are about 5 photographers. I was at a ceremony last week and there were more than 15! Ini macam boleh gabra!

Love this shot!

Have to give credit to my lovely wife Liza, for taking this shot. I was being busy snapping away when I saw an opportunity to take a picture from above, overlooking the ceremony.

Aizat being very relax now.

Each wedding that I shot are so different. Today the ceremony was very relax. We all had our meal first, only then the ceremony begins. Maybe with a full stomach, Everyone are more relax.

The Bride, Majidah and mom.

Malay wedding, you need to be ready!

The ring. its mine!

Friends of the couple. Happy, fun photos. That is how it should be.

Tepak sirih. The most important item in a hantaran. Do we still eat the sirih? We should. A tradition pass down over generations.

Aizat and Majidah, Selamat Pengantin Baru.
