Today i will ramble.

Thinking back to June 2009, we had no idea of how HDSLR would ever play a role in our wedding works. Me & Suhaimi was a true photographer at heart with no remorse on turning our work into motion.Last month we celebrated that one year old anniversary, think again, we are only one year old in the wedding videography which has somehow changed into wedding cinematography. We are not shooting video anymore, the HDSLR has changed us into shooting a cinematic documentary, the HDSLR brings film look into wedding documentary and we are not looking back to DVs or HDVs. With all the drawback of HDSLR people are banging left and right, for US wedding cinematographers, the most important thing in this business is the final output, not the gears nor the missing features in a camera.We don’t do TV shows. Looking back of how much we have achieved in a year, we are pretty much proud of what we produced and hope that we have entertained all of our previous clients and also blog readers with our Wedding Documentaries.

End of rambling.

How can the above relate to Rushdan & Farissa? They are the 2nd couple that booked our wedding documentary package A YEAR ago. I remembered we had no video works to pitch but only Shaha & Catriona Ross’s Wedding Highlights. That was the only thing we had just to say YES we do wedding video documentary. Last week was their wedding day. It was Hell. Not the wedding, but Me. My wife was diagnosed with Dermoid Cyst 8cm on the left & 3cm on the right & needed operation ASAP & my kids had diarrhea & i had a very bad soar throat to conclude a perfect weekend. It was 2 days before Rushdan & Farissa’s Nikah, I somehow feel that i needed a 2nd professional opinion on my wife’s diagnosis and i knew Farissa is a doctor in HKL. I gave her a call and expected that she would go panic that i couldn’t shoot her Nikah. I was wrong! she was so calm & relax and told me everything will go well. no sign of panic attack, then i understand how a doctor would react to a patient. Everything is ok. My wife will do her Dermoid Cyst removal next tuesday.

1 Day to Nikah day.I had to drive to Port Dickson for Tomok’s Bagai Bidadari Music video shoot with MotioFixo . We shot from evening until midnight.Past Midnight i had panic attack, If this shoot doesn’t end soon, i won’t make it back to KL and shoot Rushdan & Farissa’s Nikah at 7am. The shoot wraps at 430am, Me and Kechik,my assistant drove back to KL and i had 30 minutes nap. Reached home at 6am and had a quick bath and shoot straight to Masjid Wilayah for the Nikah. I know on this day i will suffer the consequences of no sleep with an SDE to produce. I had Faiz as my 2nd videographer & Asyiek as the main photographer of the day. Finished the Nikah shoot and Farissa & Rushdan noticed that i had a sleepless night & i told them worst case i will finish the SDE with the best part of her friend’s interviews and pre wedding shoots because thats the most interesting part of the preparation story line that brought to the nikah day.Farissa said, its ok, worst case just do the Nikah only without the pre wedding shoots.And i said OK.

Am blogging at 6am in the morning of my wife’s Dermoid Cyst removal operation.Like what Farissa said, everything will go well & so did her SDE which i finished with her friend’s interview including the Pre wedding shoots & the Nikah footage with no sleep.

Enjoy people!

i don’t usually share my personal life, but i just want to share that Everything planned won’t be perfect but All Will Go Well.

BASIQ & ZURAI

The wedding was held in Gombak KL. Me & faiz had a blast documenting their wedding day with colorful & joyful people to work with. We had an idea of producing a straight forward continuos story telling highlights for Basiq & Zurai but connected with seemless transition, so we had to start it with showing Basiq came back from “somewhere” outside Malaysia and to get married. We included the scene where Zurai picked up Basiq from the airport and they move on to their 2 fitting sessions. They were a fun couple to work with!
We think this is one of the best highlights we’ve ever did with a great song!

Oh my god!!! so much happening…so many weddings in december…countless blog updates! sorry for the slow update guys, end of the year has been hectic for us. Sham & FIza was one of the December’s couple.

The first time Fiza contacted us to inquire about our package, she just emailed us without any call. Later on her fiance’ called and arrange for a meet up. what a surprise when we found out Sham was actually our lecturer during our 2nd year architectural studies in UIA! That’s like 4-5 years i have not seen him. He basically sweep all of Shutterspeak’s shooters in December! He assigned us to shoot photo & video for his engagement,nikah & 2 receptions.
I’ve followed their nikah & reception’s dress fitting to put in some lite storyline into the highlights, also including the engagement event. Then i had an idea why not give them 5 minutes alone with my camera and just say whatever they want, both of them got no idea what they said until the reception! The earlier part of the highlights was edited a day before and the nikah part was edited on the same day.

Hold on tight for the reception photos coming in soon…

This wedding was held at the beautiful Villa May. Me & Asyiek was the videographer of the day and Ariffbani with Hisyamudin was the photographers. This event started with an engagement & followed with the solemnisation & ended with a dinner.Me & Asyiek captured Fiona’s preparation in the morning to be included into the video presentation for the night after. We had the idea of Fiona organizing every little detail of her dream wedding. The best part of all, everything went perfect as what she had planned. The video presentation on the night after really put the guest into the seat of FIona,how she managed & organized everything for the best of her wedding. Enjoy below the Nikah Highlights video presentation & a few favorite shots on that night.

Photos was edited by Asyiek.

The Ring!

We found this beautiful mirror inside the banquet area.

After they packed up the banquet,i thought we should have some fun shots.

It was 12 o’clock and VIlla May went dark!so found this staircase with nice flower railing which would create really nice textures.

Muaz & Fiona, your wedding was really beautiful!

It is one of those days again where the Adobe Photoshop’s Action habit kicks in again! This job was done for Cedric Chan Studio, one of my best friend during college days @ The One Academy.He’s a designer but then turns out a year or two later he was also shooting weddings! We share ideas & opinions and i learn a lot from him on Chinese & Church weddings. One of the best thing i did for him was to make him sell his Nikon gears and get himself a 5D & 85mm f1.2 lens LOL!!! Sorry Cedric…a man gotta do what a man gotta do…

Anyway enjoy these pics & this is also my first time ever to shoot a non christian chinese wedding. A new experience for me for sure!

Ashley getting ready.




Ashley’s sister checking out her progress & Ashley was actually holding a bridal magazine for makeup reference.

Her wedding gown & her shoe detailing.

Ashley was all ready and Hagen has arrived.

And then there was the gate crashing game, the girls had a list of task on paper for the guys! Some of it, Hagen’s friends was required to drink one big bottle of Coke in one shot. Then there was the eating chili stuff which one of Hagen’s friend really enjoyed.

Then it was Hagen’s turn, he was required to put on lipstick which was not bad….

The Mom really enjoyed the show!

And Hagen went up to pick up the all lovely Ashley.

There was the prayer afterward.This part is actually different from a Christian ceremony.


Lastly the tea ceremony is something like merenjis for malay wedding where the couple will serve the parents and relatives a cup of tea & they will also receive Ang Pao.

Now its the kids turn to receive Ang Pao from the couple.

And now of to the Groom’s house.Servings outside the house.

Another tea ceremony but this time for the Groom’s family members.

FYI the guy in red is actually something like Pak Andam where he takes care of the ritual. Can be seen here he’s displaying Ashley to the mother in law, checking out all around if she’s in good condition.

One thing i didn’t know was that they give out jeweleries during the tea ceremony and check out Ashley’s hand & neck.Bling bling all over!

Check out the blings!

The Aunts telling Hagen to take care of the bling bling!

That’s all i’ve got for you this time around.Can’t wait for another chinese wedding in Melaka end of this month.it’s gonna be a traditional one!
