A Romantic, Moody Floral Wedding at Sentul Depot, Kuala Lumpur

We know many couples have had to recalibrate their wedding plans, and these newlyweds were no different. From the décor to the delectable cheeseboard, they put extra thought into their special day to make their guests feel as if they had “travelled” somewhere.

Malaysians are truly fortunate to have such an abundance of beautiful resorts and beaches on our doorstep. It might be a while before we can hold destination weddings again, but there’s nothing stopping you from saying “I do” by the beach, or against the backdrop of a lush rainforest. From the sun-soaked private beaches of Datai Bay to the lush gardens and rainforests surrounding The Datai Langkawi, could this be any more perfect for an intimate wedding or romantic elopement? Located at the north-western tip of Langkawi island, this exclusive resort has all the answers: a cosy, sunset ceremony on the beach, perhaps, or the magical deck overlooking the rainforest…

An Artistic and Dreamy Film Bridal Photoshoot in Batu Pahat, Johor
At first glance, these bridal portraits look like they are straight out of a Japanese countryside. There’s a forgotten quality of film photography that is only achieved in digital photos with edits or filters these days.

It’s amazing what a little creative styling and an old-fashioned film camera can do. Many thanks to Rayson Lo and Yandha Goh of Sanren Studio for this wonderful set of photos.

A Chic, Nature-Filled, Dusty Blue Wedding at Tamarind Springs, KL
Weddings don’t always have to be formal affairs, you can get all dolled up for a low-key celebration too. Here, we love the combination of a dusty blue colour palette and wooden textures, surrounded by lush greenery and elegant blooms.

Nature-Filled Engagement Portraits in the Hidden Gem that is Bako National Park, Sarawak
Inspired by this couple’s love for the outdoors, filled with sentimentality and untouched beauty, these engagement portraits perfectly capture the artistry of Mother Nature. Shot on an island that is part of Bako National Park, the fine sand beaches, dramatic granite rocks and exposed tree roots formed the most spectacular backdrop.

A Colourful Twist On Traditional Bridal Portraits In Malacca
We love weddings that incorporate elements of traditional Malay and Chinese attire, such as batik and the kwa, and we especially love the way this couple took those elements and gave it a refreshing, modern twist! The individual touches throughout, like pairing the long sarong-like skirts with sneakers, were subtle yet significant, allowing the lovebirds to put their own stamp on the bridal portraits. Another element that is uniquely 2020: the face mask! Set against the fun backdrop of Malacca, the bride’s curious take on her hairstyles, from Dutch braids to twin buns, really completed the look. Many thanks to Jens Kv Photography for this set of bridal portraits!

Refreshing and Gorgeous Wedding at Rama V Restaurant, Kuala Lumpur
We can’t help but smile going through this gorgeous album. The wedding was supposed to have been held in the outdoor area of the Rama V Restaurant, Kuala Lumpur, but alas, it started to pour just half an hour before the ceremony – just as the couple arrived! We love how undeterred they were, putting their best foot forward and bringing their wedding indoors. Our thanks to Louis Gan Photography for these brilliant captures, and Little Once Deco and Witchwood The Florist for the lovely décor!
