Alif + Amri’s Akad Nikah

Aaron Kok — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 10:16:52 +0000

Finally, it’s Alif & Amri’s Akad Nikah. I’ve been pretty excited to capture their wedding since the day I shot their pre-wedding a couple of months back.

The akad nikah ceremony was held at Alif’s home. The place was a hive of activity; with her large family all running ensuring everyone attending is comfortable and making sure everything is at it’s place. I was pretty much accepted as their “extended family”, with full access to the place & of course the super delicious food!

Let’s start with the details & continue with the captured moments.

Richie + Celina’s Rites of Marriage Ceremony

Aaron Kok — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 05:11:45 +0000

This week is going be an awesome week! It’s finally time for Richie & Celina to have their wedding reception & ceremony.

Just over the weekend, I was at Church of St. Francis Xavier to capture their special day. It’s nice to meet up with them again, at the same time to deliver the final album & prints from the pre-wedding to them. Here’s the link to their pre-wedding portraits taken end last year. For those who is my fan in FB, you can see the bride with the album

Anyway, here’s the MTV from the captures of the day. Enjoy!

I just can’t wait for their beach reception this weekend in Avillion!!

Portraits in The Heritage Station Hotel

Aaron Kok — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 09:36:42 +0000

Meet Alif & Amri, an extremely funny & fun couple, just can’t wait to start their lives together as a husband & wife. As usual with most couples, it’s pretty exciting to have their portraits, tho I would say with a little apprehension from Amri. I gave him my promise not to make him do too much stuff and assured he will enjoy himself. Alif on the other hand, the beaming bride to be, just can’t wait to go out and explore the location, The Heritage Station Hotel in the old Kuala Lumpur Railway Station.

Instead of the normal 4 hour session the hotel normally provides, we took a room instead and shot till late in the evening for more drama shots I would say the location for sure provides tons of interesting locations, tho some nook & crannies would be more fitting in the TV series “Supernatural”

Anyway let’s begin with the selected shots from the day.

Just the start of the shoot, Bride’s looking awesome!

p/s: Amri, I apologize the shoot took so long, next time when I say it’s the last one, I promise it will be the last one

I will be posting the video from the behind the scenes from the shoot in my facebook page. Please become a fan to check it out! The link is at the top of the page or click here!
