Every culture's wedding ceremonies is unique already with their own customs and traditions. For example an Indian wedding will have many similarities across all the Indian traditions and yet it's their sub-culture's customs which makes them stand out individually, thus we are able to differentiate which sub-culture they belong to. The milk bathing ceremony is practiced by Ceylonese Indians, they are from Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, an island just at the south of India. It takes place very early at home of the groom before they just before they start the journey to the temple proper to perform the wedding ceremony. Blessings from elders are a must to ensure good fortunes and well being of the groom. We at Jet Fynn Photography have done plenty of these. Thanks to the environment that we are operating in - Malaysia, Truly Asia!

How we work

In the scheme of things, we have to work in many local and sometimes in other areas which we haven't been before. Hence, impromptu shooting after say a few minutes of recce in a surrounding area will suffice especially when the luxury of time is a main factor when we do these types of outdoor shoot. Weather conditions also play a big part in deciding whether the planned outdoor shoot can take place or not. When we do have an outdoor shoot, it will always end in a fun time for all those involved as we will ask the couples to do the conventional stuffs and not to forget, the fancy stuffs as well. This was taken in Batu Kurau. The day had a very heavy rain and all the original plan for the outdoor shoot was washed away and the "supposed" river dunking session had to be called off as the river had fast rising waters and the current was also too strong for comfort. Due to that we had to stay on ground level for most of the outdoor shoot.
