I met up with Neen about a year ago during her brief trip back to Kuala Lumpur and back then, her wedding plans weren’t finalised yet. So imagine my bewilderment when a couple of weeks before THE day, I doublechecked the dates and realised that it was already a year past since our first meeting! OMGeeee! A year just flew by in the blink of an eye!
We didn’t have much opportunity to meet as she and Fakhrur are based in Dubai so I was a bit nervous about heading over to Kota Bharu for their solemnisation ceremony, wondering whether or not their family would like me. And y’know what? They were absolutely wonderful! Their gracious hospitality reminded why I’m insanely lucky to be doing what I’m doing.
Fakhrur and Neen, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Thank you for inviting me to capture the ceremonies, thank you for your kind words, for giving me the honour of witnessing the beginning of a new phase of your lives. Most importantly, thank you for being so good at ‘tokkok, singsong’ ;)
On days when I feel down and think that my photo taking skills suck big time, it is thanks to clients like you who remind me why, instead of giving up, I’m going to strive to be better and to capture the moments as well as I possibly can. Whilst it would be impossible to capture 100% of the essence of the day, I do hope that I’ve managed to capture at least part of the memories for you. Here are some of my favourite images from the day, which will be in your hands soon!
Much Love.
Neen’s ‘khatam Quran’ ceremony the day prior to the solemnisation in Kota Bharu.

The intimate solemnisation ceremony was held at a mosque behind her parents home. Talk about convenience!

After their solemnisation ceremony and lunch reception, we took a drive out and had some time for portraits. I like! More of the ceremony pics in Kota Bharu are up on Facebook

A week later, Fakhrur & Neen had their KL reception at KL Tower.
