It’s been a truly wonderful journey documenting the marriage of Abdul Kadir Rashid and Azwaliza Azman.
I’ve covered many weddings over the years, but Kadir and Wawa gave me the chance to shoot a Malay wedding. Now that’s a first! If that wasn’t enough, they’ve allowed me to cover all the ceremonies–from the merisik ceremony, followed by the engagement ceremony, to the akad nikah (solemnisation) and bersanding ceremonies.
It’s been a pleasure and honour to photograph this lovely couple. Being part of so many ceremonies has allowed me to come to know many wonderful people–in both families and their friends, whom among them are well-known faces on TV3 (as Wawa’s a TW3 newscaster herself). Plus, the wedding at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC), Kuala Lumpur, is the most elegant, elaborate and exquisite ceremony I’ve attended to date.
Thanks Kadir & Wawa.

Following the wedding, there were other receptions at each of their parents’ places and also at the Shangri-la Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.
