College Romance

26 Jan

What with Chinese New Year and everything, it's been a while since we had a Malay wedding, hasn't it? Here are some lovely pictures from the wedding album of Nadia and Afif... Pictures courtesy of Amir Rizal. First up, some mandatory shots of the bride getting ready. Love how the photographer caught her goofing off in the mirror with the groom right behind her. Tip: Ladies, it all comes down to the shoes ;) This is what you call a tender moment. Love story: Nadia and Afif first met in college. During an activity in which students were divided according to birth dates, these two found themselves in the same group. Get this - their birth dates are only a day apart! Talk about your modern woman... Apparently, Afif was so shy that Nadia had to ask for his number *like* Is it just me or does this one look like a movie poster? Some clever shots of the bride... ...and groom... Congratulations, Nadia and Afif! If you like these pictures, why not check out Amir Rizal's website xoxo

How To Do Traditional Cambodian

18 Jan

Welcome to the wedding of Tito Hen & Aki Serizawa, where the groom hails from Cambodia and the bride is of Japanese origins (though both live in Japan). In order to honour Tito's heritage and culture, the couple thought it apt that they make a trip to Cambodia to say "I do". We love what Cambodian based planners, The Wedding Planners, did with this special wedding of two cultures. Pictures courtesy of WGA vendors The Wedding Planners. The festivities began at the lovely Sokha Beach Resort, with everyone totally excited at the prospect of donning the traditional costumes and Tito and Aki tying the knot - the classic Cambodian way. The day started very early, with the Hae Chamnoun ceremony (Groom’s Processional), a colourful procession of the groom, his bestmen, relatives and family bearing gold and silver platters of treats, fruits and other gifts towards the bride’s home (or in this case, the Ceremony Hall of Sokha Beach Resort). Upon arrival, they wait outside the bride’s home until she comes out to gree

How perfect is it that FIFOTO Photography would give us a gorgeous wedding album featuring a romance of the Chinese Muslim variety just in time for the Chinese New Year season! Gong hei!

Hint: This is the most important secret handshake you'll ever learn. How beautiful does the bride's skin look in this light? Loving the kwa! Isn't she stunning?

Pretty In Pangkor

6 Jan

Now when I say 'pretty', I'm not just referring to the lovely bride! Take a look at this gorgeous wedding album from FIFOTO Photography and tell me you don't want to get swept away at Pangkor Laut Resort... Pictures courtesy of WGA vendor FIFOTO Photography. I love that it was so bright, the groom had to wear sunnies! Haha! How's that for a breathtaking backdrop? It's been a while since I saw people throwing rose petals instead of rice - so much more romantic, in my opinion. This one is amazing. Don't the leaves look almost translucent? Now here's an island I wouldn't mind getting stranded on ;) Tip: The twirl-me-around photo is a definite must. I practice mine all the time... I always wonder if the photographer has to lie down for shots like this - but I think it'd be worth it. So what's a little sand in the pants? My favourite picture - I just can't get over the warm and fuzzy feeling that comes with it. Hint: Removing the jacket is not only most practical for a hot beach photo shoot, it also makes the
