Attended my Wife Best Friend Siti Noorahayu Majlis Akad Nikah at Masjid An-Najihin Bandar Sri Permaisuri. Akad Nikah is the formal contract of marriage or also commonly known as the marriage solemnization or wedding vows. This marriage contract is an Islamic requirement and that happens when the bridegroom seals the “contract” with either the bride’s father, or an authorised person called “wali” who is either the bride’s male sibling or uncle or very close relative, but nowadays usually the “imam” of the nearby mosque or his authorised deputy. The wali represents and takes the place of the father of the bride in conducting the akad nikah, and this delegation of duty must first be formally agreed before the akad nikah proceedings.
I’m not the official photographer (OP) for the event, just merely a guest. It has been a while since my last wedding assignment and it’s fun to see the OP doing their job. It’s the responsibility of the OP to capture the moment of the marriage solemnization. In my opinion a marriage solemnization is full of emotion and history. It’s the beginning of a wonderful journey and a photograph has the power to tell stories. Here is some of the photo that I managed to capture using my Sony Nex 5N + E 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 OSS.
