As a Malaysia Wedding Photographer is very exciting, we have the opportunity to witness multi cultures wedding ceremony.
A Malay wedding proper begins with the akad nikah (marriage contract) ceremony. The groom signs the marriage contract and agrees to provide the bride with a mas kahwin (mahar,literally ‘marriage gold’ in form of money or goods or anything as requested by the bride).It is opposite to dowry where the mas khawin is paid by the groom to the bride. The mas khawin is a symbol to show that the men is willing and are prepared to build a family with the lady he chose to get married to. The contract signing is done before a religious official and is accompanied by prayer.
It was a privilege for us to be able to photograph wedding’s of Safarina & Razak, it’s beautiful decoration at their house was done by Santubong Bridal . We just love the colors theme and design. We were glad that we cover their Berlutut session at the everning too. Here are some of our favorite photos from their akad nikah session, we will post more photos on their Majlis Bersanding later, still have lots of work to be done….
