Jimmy & Phoebe's Wedding Dinner in Melaka

As a newcomer in the world of photography, I was given the honour to shoot my colleague Jimmy Haw's wedding. It all started on 1st October, which co-incidently was the 1st day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri. 2 other colleagues, KC, Aaron and I started our journey to Seremban to meet up with Alvin before we check into Mahkota Hotel in Melaka. Since It was still too early to check in, we went around town went to Mahkota Parade to "loiter" and ended up playing 2 games of bowling to which I lost badly.

We were kinda hungry so we left and went to search for food. Alvin recommended the Tangkak Beef Noodles. It was superb, probably the best Beef Noodles I've ever had, but as we all know, good things don't come cheap. A big bowl costs RM8 and it doesn't even come with beef meetballs, it had to be ordered separately. So since we felt like tourists, we ordered 4 big bowls of beef noodles, 12 pieces of beef balls and 4 drinks. We then proceed to the hotel to check in took a rest and I prepared my gear for the Jimmy's wedding dinner later in the evening.

We reached the XXXX Restaurant and boy did we have a culture shocked. According to Jimmy and Phoebe's invitation card, it was supposed to start at 6:30pm and friends of relatives of theirs were already at the restaurant and seated. I've never seen wedding dinner guests practising punctuality. Way to go people of Melaka!! I waited for Jimmy and Phoebe to arrive before I went to shoot as I do not know who my contact person was besides Jimmy. At 7pm sharp, Jimmy's eldest sister gave Alvin a call and that was the cue to start shooting.

Here are some of the shots taken during the wedding dinner.

(Nah, this is not theirs, its only their cute flower boy to be in 3 days ;P)
