My First Malay Wedding



Yuhanif Bin Hashum with his lovley new bride Wijdan Binti Zakaria

I don’t do weddings. I don’t like the pressure. I don’t like being bossed around by mother-in-laws. I just don’t like weddings – that is, photographing them. But when Brian Hirschy decided to visit this last weekend and at the same time my buddy Hariman invited me to help him photograph a Malay wedding, I bit my lip and decided to take Brian and go for it. Fortunately, Hariman was the main photographer and not me. So the pressure was on him so Brian and I could just play. Brian had brought a couple of SB flashes and umbrella or two and so we had some fun. Below are the results of my playtime. Be gentle with me and remember, I don’t do weddings.

    Again, being too modest!

    The bride looks beautiful, I love her veil.

    Those are great. The pressure, when you do have it, is actually a catalyst for creativity, though. Oh…or a catalyst for a major explosion. One or the other.

    One word: Excellent. But I do wish you would stop showing shots with those two primes. I must resist a little longer, I must resist a little longer, I mustt read a little DuChemin and resist a little longer….

    Great shots Matt, what was the mother in law like? Looks like you could have a new career!!

  • Matea Michelangeli

    Nice to shoot wedding without the pressure, just the fun, although the mother in laws are still there ;)
    Shooting with that 1.2, I'm just jealous! The only reason I can resist the temptation is that I shoot Nikon, so have to be content with a 1.4…
