tradition [1]

last saturday i was given the task to photograph and record my nephew’s wedding ceremony. not a good wedding photographer though, but i tried my best to get good shots as possible. the location of the ceremony was somewhere in the district of petaling jaya, selangor.

no doubt the ceremony was so glorious and full of memories especially for all the relatives who traveled from far distant destinations to celebrate the day. it has been the malay’s tradition that wedding day would be the best get together day for all the long separated relatives. GET TOGETHER, CELEBRATE AND TIE BACK THE LOOSED RELATIONSHIP [menyambung silatuurrahim]. this would be the day when everyone in the family would gotong royong [works together hands in hands] to make the celebration the best memorable day for the family.

the best way to record those moments would be to photograph them. and of course there were beautiful moments that deserved to be recorded and forever would be the sweet memories for everyone involved. [more photos see above].
