Menhndi is a ceremonial art form originated in ancient India. Intricate patterns of mehndi are typically applied to brides before wedding ceremonies. It is usually drawn on the palms and feet, where the color will be darkest because the skin contains higher levels of keratin which binds temporarily to lawsone, the colorant of henna.

Henna was originally used as a form of decoration mainly for brides.  These varying designs meaning different things to each culture, such as good health, fertility, wisdom and spiritual enlightenment.

What an honour to photograph the entire Mehndi ceremony for bride Toral Komdar.  Truly an eye opening experience.

How do I describe this couple, Macy & Pin Lee ? – Loving, Caring, Warm, Passionate & Fun living.  What an honour to capture moments in pictures  for this wonderful couple with a veteran & passionate wedding photographer, Jonathan Kwok  together with the famous wedding videographers Kee Sitt & Sharon of WeddingStory.

The Holy Matrimony was held at the beautiful & charming chapel of  Convent Light Street ( the oldest girls’ school in Penang as well as in Malaysia). The chapel of the convent is adorned with stained glass windows imported from France. The Tea ceremony & Dinner reception were held at Eastern & Oriental Hotel.  The colonial charm certainly lends distinction and prestige to this occasion.

May the good Lord bless them with wisdom & joy  & they journey their lives together in  unity & harmony.
