Chinese wedding: Mei Hoong & Jerry

Recently I was invited to photograph Chinese couple Mei Hoong and Jerry on their wedding day in KL. The couple had their wedding held according to traditional Chinese customs, with prayers and offerings to the ancestors involved, and the most important thing of all in a typical Chinese wedding, the tea ceremony. Given the fact that the wedding took place at the groom's parents' house and that it wasn't a lavish one, shooting it was definitely a challenge. But it's okay... challenge is good.
This doesn't suggest anything though. It's just that the weddings we've been to before were usually held in church, so we're more familiar with those as opposed to this. But like I said, new challenges are always good. We like challenges... All that aside, it was also rather fun to shoot the wedding, especially because both the bride and groom had a very pleasant and, should I say "honest?", smile... It all began in the morning with the bride getting her make-up done and putting on her wedding dress. This was done at a hotel here. The groom came a little later and was asked to perform some "tasks" before he could enter the bride's hotel room. Fast forward now then... The couple got into the car and headed off to the groom's parents' house, where everyone else waited anxiously for their arrival. The wedding involved performing Chinese traditions, followed by some refreshments and a quick family photo session, before everyone went off to the restaurant where the couple hosted a wedding luncheon for their families, close relatives and friends. Here are just some of the photos from the wedding. You can click on em to view em larger. Thank you ever so much, Mei Hoong and Jerry, for giving us this opportunity and letting us in on this assignment. It was fun working with the two of you. - Frank
