Muslim Wedding in Singapore: Azad & Adah

Another childhood love story to continue from our post a couple of months ago! This one almost didn’t happen!

Azad and Adah were Primary School classmates. The love story didn’t start till about 6 years ago. The couple starting going out after Adah ended a 12-years relationship. They both never confessed their feelings for each other. Adah thought that Azad had no feelings towards her then. This led Adah’s friend to match-make another guy to Adah who ended up proposing to her! Well, we’re glad they sorted that out!

Malay Wedding in Kuala Lumpur: Omar & Katrina

We flew out to Kuala Lumpur for our first ever wedding shoot there. We were pleasantly surprised by how different it was compared to malay/muslim weddings here in Singapore! We got Omar & Katrina to share their love story and wedding with us…

Omar & Katrina met in school when they were only 14 and 13 years old respectively. That’s over a decade ago! (Not revealing the bride’s age cause, you know, never do that. Haha!) Being really young, they got in and out of love till only two years ago. We enjoy hearing first-love stories like this!

Mixed Wedding at The Concourse + Photoshoot at Arab Street: Joao & Mona

He’s Portugese and she’s Indonesian. They met in Singapore years ago and this is where they decided to get married. I know, it’s one of those love stories that makes you go awww. We did a few more family photography sessions with them since and became friends! They invited me to their farewell lunch party in Mamanda and in a family trip to Adventure Cove Waterpark! Mona lost all her family members in the 2004 Tsunami in Aceh, Indonesia and only has one sister and a niece to call family. The couple has since migrated to Switzerland for good. It was so depressing seeing them off at the airport last month. Simplifai Studios wishes you guys the best of times together 10,000km away. Stay warm this winter! <3

Malay Wedding at Gurame Indonesian Restaurant: Abdillah & Liyana

Looking to hold your wedding at a unique venue that offers a halal menu? Look no further than Gurame Indonesia Restaurant. Abdillah & Liyana held their private solemnisation at home one day before the wedding reception. They booked a couple of rooms at Capri by Fraser for the bridal make-up and bridesmaids and groomsmen to gather. We feel that this is a great idea especially because the wedding venue is only about 10-minutes drive away. We had fun capturing every tiny details in this wedding and not forgetting the impromptu photoshoot right at the end!

Malay Wedding at Gardenasia: Suhaimi & Hamaiza

Who said that Singapore doesn’t have a quiet place for a wedding? After their solemnisation (nikah) at Assyafaah Mosque, we did a short photoshoot with the groomsmen and bridesmaids at Sungei Buloh Nature Reserves before proceeding to Gardenasia for the wedding reception. Gardenasia is tucked in the north-western region of this island. Away from the noisy highways and crazy human traffic, this place is surrounded by farms! We would jump at the next opportunity to shoot a wedding here again.

Mixed Wedding at Holiday Inn Orchard: Kyle & Rubhinni

It is always a great sight seeing a multi-racial group of people in a joyous gathering. Their Nalungu ceremony, an Indian tradition, was held at Rubhinni’s home in Singapore. It was a night of fun and laughter, even for the photographer! This Singapore-Australian wedding reception was held the next day in a grand ballroom at Holiday Inn Orchard. We’ll let the photos do the rest of the talking!

Malay Wedding: Firuz & Nadiah

Firuz & Nadiah are police officers! Can’t help but feel safe at their wedding. Ha! It was a two-days affair featuring the animated Kadi Hassan as the Solemniser. We did a mini photoshoot at Gardens by the Bay straight after the wedding reception.
