13 Nov Celebrating Jas & Jeff: a Melaka wedding

Can we call it puppy love? Jasmine & Jeffrey knew each other way back in primary school, and over the years, life kept bringing them back into each other’s story. Eventually, years of friendship and plenty of shared memories later, this September, they made it official.

On the day, the wedding ceremony was simple and intimate, with no gate crash, just the people who matter most. Jas started the morning in a golden-white traditional Chinese Kua, and she looked stunning. We still had the classic Chinese wedding moments, like Jeff picking up his bride. When he reached her bedroom door, there were no games, just Jeff saying his vows to her. Simple and sweet. The mood was calm and happy from the very start. More couples are going this way these days, taking it easy and keeping things small, and I love it. When the day feels relaxed, it shows in the photos.

After the morning session, Jas had one request: a couple portrait in the old town of Melaka. Since they both work in Singapore now, they wanted a keepsake that felt like Melaka. So we wandered the old streets, using the old shops and businesses as our backdrop. The old town has so much character, and it suited the two of them perfectly. The two of them were so relaxed and sweet together, they made my job easy. Honestly, I wish we had more time to shoot, but we had to head to the hotel, so we kept it short. Even so, I’m happy with what we got.

Then we moved to Courtyard by Marriott Melaka for the tea ceremony. Jas changed into a Sangjit for this part, and she looked just as beautiful in it. During the ceremony, the guests couldn’t stop complimenting her as she and Jeff served tea to their family. After that, everyone moved on for a luncheon with close family only. I wrapped up my coverage there and left them to enjoy the rest of the day together.

Jasmine & Jeffrey, congratulations, and thank you again for trusting me with your day. It was a joy to be part of such a relaxed and happy celebration, and I hope the photos bring back all the little moments for years to come. Finally, wishing you both a lifetime of love and laughter.
