Dac and Wai Pin ~ Wedding Photography at the Westin Langkawi

Westin Hotel Beach Resort Wedding on Langkawi

Westin Beach Resort Wedding Photographer Langkawi — Sunset Photo at the Westin Beach Resort Hotel on Langkawi

Dac and Wai Pin contacted me to be their wedding photographer for their Chinese/Vietnamese/Western fusion beach resort wedding at the Westin Hotel in Langkawi, Malaysia. Two very lovely families. The weather was all over the place with rain coming down during the portrait session, partly due to it being a crazy hot day that ended up with a pool party at the end of everything. Good it was a private pool as the party went on into the night. You can view their weddingÂ below.

We had some time to kill before the wedding so took a few images around the Westin. Looks great doesn’t it.

The day starts with make up.

Wai Pin arrived at the Tea Ceremony location first

The tea ceremony would be held on the Westin’s jetty

Dacs family arrived next

And gave his bouquet to Wai Pin who was obviously over joyed

And she showed her appreciation

Nice tea set for the Tea Ceremony

Dacs family are from all over the world and were separated by the Vietnam War so this was an emotional moment.

Tea ceremony time. Chinese and Vietnamese tea ceremonies are very similar.

Some quiet words of advice

Vanessa and Christopher – Beach Destination Wedding at Four Seasons Langkawi

Beach Destination wedding photographer at Four Seasons Langkawi

Vanessa and Christopher’s weddign was on the beach at the Four Seasons on Langkawi. We started with mandatory portraiture around the resort before heading to the beach for the actual ceremony. The wedding dinner was at the Serai and was both stylish and awesome fun. Once it got dark the whole wedding party went down to the beach to set free hot air lanterns. A couple of weeks later we headed down to Melaka to photograph their wedding banquet for family who couldn’t make it. I haven’t put up a posting of this (yet) so in the meantime will include just onre of the photos from that evening at the bottom of this photo set. Photos included below.

Unless you have a heavily locked down web browser you should be able to enjoy BOTH the Four Seasons and Melaka weddings by watchingÂ the movie below. I hope you enjoy the music too!

Nice Day for a Wild Beach Wedding at the Four Seasons Resort Langkawi

Destination Beach Wedding at the Four Seasons Langkawi

Reg and Lisa chose to celebrate their day with a destination beach wedding at the Four Seasons Resort in Langkawi. It is easily my favourite beach wedding location. The afternoon kicked off with a Chinese Tea Ceremony in the Rhu bar. We then went to the Spa for wedding portraits before getting ready for the sunset beach wedding.As can be seen in a couple of the photos the sun was very low in the sky before we even got started, so the portraits were mostly photographed in the twilight.Â The wedding dinner was at the Serai Restaurant. Good weather. Great couple with “Funtastic” friends too.

Wedding at Four Seasons Langkawi – Dominic and Lauren

Dominic and Laurens wedding at the Four Seasons Langkawi. This is a second post on this wedding, a transfer from my old site which has more than 100 more photos. Please note that as the following images are a transfer from my old website that they are of lower resolution than my newer postings. That said I do know they look great on my iPhone 6.

Dominic and Lauren’s wedding at the Four Seasons Langkawi

wedding portraits at the Four Seasons Hotel Resort on Langkawi Malaysia

Dominic and Lauren contacted me to be their wedding couple for their destination beach resort wedding…at where else? The Four Seasons Langkawi. They were a really very sweet couple and had a touching wedding on the beach conducted by one of their friends who flew in from the USA. Lauren had thought things out well. She had brought print outs on how she wanted her hair and make up to look which really helped the makeup and hair stylists. Another great idea was printing out name badges for everyone. You know how awkward it can be to be faced with a lot of new strangers/friends and remembering every ones name can be a chore. This was a simple fix!

Fortunately it wasn’t crazy hot on this occasion however I still remember how hard it was to run up the beach and stairs to get the wide overlooking photo featured in the set below. Why run? Beach and “modern” weddings are really fast! 5-10 minutes max for the ceremony, so its a good idea to have two photographers (like we usually do) to get as many angles as quickly as possible.

Regarding the dinner: In the Serai which is where it often is. There was a karaoke going most of the night and I think everyone except me had a turn! lots of fun and the party just didn’t stop. Exactly how I like them.

Hope you enjoy the photos.
