BEHIND THE SCENES & RAMBLES FROM THE HEART

“what makes a photo perfect is the story behind it”

“You like because and you love despite”, a line from Abby’s letter to Fatah. I love that line. If you think about the concept of soulmates, it’s not about 2 people of the same interest, magically bonded to be each other’
Sealing the 2023 season with a wedding that speak to my heart like none other. Everything about this wedding was so intentionally curated to the smallest details. Abby, the baby of the family, loves pink. So she has pink and blue beads on her @tehfir
Can you believe that they Najwa booked me 2 days before her event, and I so happened to be available on 12/11/23. Truly what’s meant for you will be yours. And this is also true for them. I see how smooth and easy everything was on that day and
This first picture sums up their personality so well; Cica always resisting touch while Harris, with his big fake-real laugh. I love it so much! I think there was a perfect balance of tears:laugh ratio during this event that made it quite unforgettab
I had so much to say about this wedding so I’m going to do this in 2 parts. Ofc I will choose the heart wrenching, teary part first. Haressa or Cica, was at her best friend’s wedding, Asilah, back in Feb. And since then I’ve seen so
As I was talking to my future client, I realized that a lot of weddings here lack characters, for so many reasons. The main one being its parents funded. But even so, I don’t think it should be the reason. After all, its your own wedding day an
Some moments are deeper felt in monochrome 🖤🤍
One of the most important part of a wedding day is the getting ready session and I will, to my greatest power, overly romanticise it. That’s when you get to truly see someone as a whole, how they react to other people under pressure, only the t
Still not over these two and their laidback wedding
Sometimes I struggle to put caption for my post because its all about what I love, and the truth is, I love love, so anything that has a little bit of love in it, I simply love it (ya cliche, I know). Or sometimes I just don’t know how to artic
People who laugh the loudest, cry the most and feel the hardest. And it’s them. Can’t get enough of these two “teethful” laughs 😁, so infectious. The getting ready was so chill, with Hanani’s nieces playing outside the
During each weddings, I would think of one (or few things) that made it different from the other weddings I’ve been to. Took me long enough to realized the simplicity of this event was the essence of it, yet its nothing short of the beautifully
“To be loved and love at the highest count”. One of my fav Adele’s song. I played this song over and over again while editing this gallery because that’s exactly how I felt about not just these 2 but their whole family and fri
I get super emotional on the drive back from this event for so many reasons: 1) its my 8th event with them and probably my last. 2) how grateful I am. 3) how life has come full circle. I still remember the first time I met Anis and Idris at Huckleb
I’ve been following Saida on ig for quite some times which means I know a little bit about her life and when her name popped up on my inbox, I was so excited. But the timing wasn’t on my side to be there to shoot, so gutted for it 😔. But
I might not be present at this wedding but from the first glance, I know exactly what I will write about it. It’s a relationship that doesn’t usually get the spotlight; of a mum and her son. We often see how delicate and emotional a bride
A few days before the wedding, Afifa told me a little back story about them; she was set up by her own dad on a blind date with Izwan (who used to work with him) end of last year and that went pretty well that they decided to get married only 5 days
It’s been raining every afternoon here in KL but looking at Adzlin and Syakireen’s photos felt like a ray of sunshine in a streak of gloomy days. Their big sincere smile and laughters are too contagious and definitely the most prominent p
Hi, I’m Areena. I am a photographer, originally from Malaysia but now based in Netherlands. I moved here to follow my husband start a new career here. As I am no longer based in MY, I would like to clarify that I am still taking wedding photogr
