Happily Ever After: Jazry & Diyana [19 and 27-11-2011]

This is arguably the first time a colleague invited me to shoot a commercial event. I guess I must have made a good impression after the photos I took at my Company's annual dinner, earlier this year.

Anyways, hearty congratulations are in order for Jazry and Diyana. I was initially invited to shoot the Bersanding Ceremony, which was held at the De Palma Hotel, Ampang on 19th November 2011. I must say, the facilities there were lovely. It was simple hotel but nevertheless the staff were professional and the set-up and props were extravagant and colorful. It strikes me that this hotel must be quite adept at hosting Malay weddings since everything seems to fall into place perfectly.

After the grand dinner on the 19th, the Groom's sister organized another smaller, warmer reception with close friends and relatives at Intercontinental Hotel on Jalan Ampang on 27th November 2011. I was invited to shoot this one as well. After the dinner, I have reached the conclusion that both the families there that night were very lovely and warm. I think these tewo lovebirds were made for each other!

Thanks to Jazry and Diyana for allowing me to post a few of their pictures on my humble photoblog.

Here are some photos of the night at the De Palma Hotel, Ampang:

Jazry initially planned to sing to Diyana. Halfway through the song, Diyana joined him onstage. Lovely.
