Malay Engagement Photography – Practice Smiling!

Engagement (or majlis pertunangan) is usually customary before the wedding. It is a promise a couple makes to each other.

It is also a hint to other men out there that the eligible young lady is no longer available. Pre-booked already lah!

The typical 6 months or 1 year engagement is also an opportunity for the families of both sides of couple to get to know each other better.

In the meantime, there will be a smaller scale engagement event going on.

There will be a lot of beautiful engagement trays bearing gifts, engagement party and general revelry and happiness going on.

So why not hire a professional photographer to cover this special engagement day?

Some of the benefits of hiring a photographer for the pre-wedding engagement event:

  • You will get to know your photographer better. You will spend anywhere from 1-3 hours together and you can really get to know each other better – especially if you haven’t met in person before.
  • You can practice being comfortable being photographed. We are not all models and this session will help you feel more comfortable on your ACTUAL wedding day.
  • You will get some great photos of you as a couple! You can then use these as part of your actual wedding day reception or just to keep as a reminder of this amazing time of your life together.

OK, so then you decided. You want to do an engagement session.

A lot of our Jurugambar SG photographers know great spots for photos, but they love when you come with an idea for your session.

It should be about you as a couple. Not sure where you want them?

Check out some of my favorite ideas….but remember the sky is the limit! Be creative with your photos.

I love capturing wedding stories. I see each wedding as a creative opportunity. Every element of the story is important, and how we capture those elements is just as important. This is why I accept only a limited number of bookings each year, and never take more than one wedding on a weekend. Connect with Johan Ghazawan on Johan Ghazawan Google+ I want to ensure I have a fresh and inspired eye for each couple's story. In short, I pour our heart, soul and spirit into every wedding we film and photograph.
