SWEE MENG + MEI KEE, ENGAGEMENT PHOTO SHOOT @ KAMPAR, PERAK

Swee Meng & Mei Kee, they are friends of mine invited me to take photos for their casual wedding photography in Kampar, Perak. Kampar is situated in the Kinta Valley, which was well-known for its high tin ore reserves. This is the place where Swee Meng was brought up. I was excited about visiting Kampar for the first time, for a casual wedding photography.

First stop, we went to West Lake Kampar (nearby Kampar UTAR). Next stop, Kampar old town – consists of streets of charming pre-war shophouses, and mostly in its original unrenovated appearance. There are mainly coffee shops, goldsmiths and local retailers. We spent at least half a day for the wonderful and memorable shot at the streets, shop houses, wood factory & grocery stores. What could be more beautiful than a flock of pigeons soaring skyward.  We were so much addicted not being able to forgo any good scenes which almost got them late for the makeup and wedding dinner.

It was a great idea choosing this Malaysian Classic style of locations. The sad part about it is, heard from the people there that most of these places will soon be demolished in a few years time. Just adore the photos and all the love they show…
