Every Malay wedding is a vibrant tapestry of tradition and emotion. To ensure you don't miss a single memory, here is our expert-curated shot list.
1. The Akad Nikah (The Solemnization)
The Nikah is the most pivotal moment of the day. Essential shots include:
- The arrival of the groom and his family.
- Close-ups of the Mas Kahwin and Hantaran.
- The moment of the 'Akad' (shaking of hands).
- The bride's reaction behind the pelamin.
- Signing of the marriage contract.
2. The Majlis Sanding (The Reception)
This is where the majesty of the wedding shines. We focus on:
- The grand entrance with kompang or silat.
- Posing on the Pelamin (the royal throne).
- The 'Makan Beradab' (ceremonial lunch).
- Candid shots of guests and family members.
3. The Details
Small things tell big stories. We never miss the intricate Henna designs, the sparkle of the songket, and the beauty of the floral arrangements.
