May - The Month of Weddings

With three weddings in May and also Teach For Malaysia (TFM) final stage interview, I had to say it was one of the most challenging months I had go through. It was worth it though! At the end of May, I was admitted to TFM which means I will have to attend an 8-week training at Port Dickson then start teaching from January 2015. From this point, I will not be able to take photos as much as I did before.

Just to quote what I wrote on my Facebook page on 2nd June 2014:

The last one year and a half has been terrific. I was able to work with awesome people, meet beautiful couples, and at the same time improve my photography skills. However, as I am not a full time photographer, I know that one day I would have to slow down and focus on my full time job. 

Last week, I have been admitted to Teach For Malaysia for 2015 Fellowship. The Pre-Service Program starts in October and I will start teaching in January 2015. Therefore, I am sorry to announce that I will not be taking photos for any events from July till end of November (I am free in December!). I will personally contact everyone who has made a booking with me by this week and refund all the booking payments.

From January 2015, I might be able to take photos on Sundays but most probably I could only work on only one event per month. Well since my placement is not decided yet, I can't guarantee anything. Thank you for all your tremendous support all these while. This page will still be updated with some random pictures from time to time:)

Let's take a look at some of the pictures from Hazim's, Rina's, and Raja Nadiah's wedding:

Thank you to these wonderful people who trusted me to be their photographer on their meaningful day. 

Maryam and Shaufex's Reception

At the end of March I had another reception at Gombak covered. I met the bride's mother who works in one of the shops in Pertama Complex last year while I was printing out my first box of business cards. Here are some of the shots:

My next wedding shoot will be on 24th May. Till then, so long.

Aiman and Sofiya's Wedding Reception plus Mini Reunion!

Let me start this post by congratulating Aiman for getting married to his beloved Sofiya last Saturday. Congratulations! The wedding was on Saturday evening and the reception was on Sunday. Despite driving alone for an hour, just the thoughts of seeing Aiman as a married guy and at the same time having a small reunion with my friends who went to UB together with me kept me pumped up on my way to Titiwangsa. Attending the reception as a guest gave me so much time and space to finally catch up with old friends. Now, time for pictures!

Thank you to whoever helped me take some of the pictures!

Kayla and Mubin's Wedding and Reception

Few hours before I went to KL to shoot Qistina's engagement, I was in Kuala Selangor for another wedding. This time it's Kayla, my old school mate from SEMASHUR, who was getting married! Congratulations! Tahniah tahniah!

Their reception was held the day after on Sunday so here are few shots from their wedding and reception!

Can't wait to get the album done!
