In short
- We follow your family's own sequence, because Malay weddings differ by region, family and venue.
- Berinai, akad nikah, bersanding and kenduri can each have their own coverage block.
- Filming preferences, such as private areas or women-only spaces, are agreed beforehand.
Malay weddings are shaped by the family. Some hold a quiet akad at home and a large kenduri, others spread events across weeks and two sides. We build the filming plan from your own sequence and the way your family is comfortable being filmed.
Which events we can cover
Not every family holds all of these. Tell us what you are planning:
- Before the akad: berinai, family gatherings, preparations and any hantaran moments you want recorded.
- The solemnisation: the akad nikah, at a mosque, a hall or at home. See nikah ceremony videography and our guide to filming a nikah in a mosque.
- Family rites: merenjis and other customs your family follows, as the family directs.
- Bersanding and the reception: the entrance, bersanding, speeches and kenduri. Detail is on our wedding reception page.
- A second reception: if the other family hosts too, we plan it as its own block. For several dates and cities, see planning wedding video across multiple dates and receptions.
Filming preferences we agree first
Comfort in front of a camera varies within one family, so we agree the limits early. Typical points are:
- Areas or moments that stay unfilmed, such as a dressing room or a women-only gathering. Our guide to a women-only wedding celebration lists the questions to confirm.
- Who may be shown in anything shared publicly, and who prefers not to be.
- How camera-shy family members are approached. See wedding videography for camera-shy couples.
- Whether guests are asked to put phones away at key moments.
If two families are involved, it helps to ask each side separately, because their comfort with filming can differ.
The films you can choose
| Film | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Highlight film | A short edited story of the events | Sharing with friends and relatives |
| Full ceremony recording | The akad, doa and speeches kept complete | Parents, grandparents and relatives far away |
| Event films | A separate film for each event, such as berinai or the second reception | Families who want each event kept on its own |
| Social clips | Short vertical or square cuts | Posting soon after the day |
| Same-day edit | A short film shown at the reception | On request |
A highlight cannot hold the whole akad. If hearing every word of the lafaz or a doa matters, ask for the complete recording too.
What we agree before the day
- Your events and order, with dates, venues and rough timings.
- Key people by role: parents, wali, witnesses, grandparents and anyone giving a doa or speech.
- Boundaries: places, moments and people to leave out.
- Sound: how the lafaz, doa and speeches are recorded clearly, including the venue’s microphones.
- Films and review: what you receive and how you review it.
Our must-capture moments checklist turns these into a short sheet your family can fill in together.
How we work on the day
We keep the crew small and quiet, and check positions with the officiant or the venue first. We stay out of the way of guests and family helping with the event. We record sound from the source whenever we can, because the akad and the doa are the words people want to hear again.
For a second camera, or a second reception in another city, tell us the venues and dates.
What moves the quote
For a Malay wedding, the number of events and hours, travel between venues and the films you choose shape the quote. How pricing works explains the rest, and the quote comparison worksheet helps you compare several.
If you can tell us which events your family is holding, and which moments or areas should stay private, we can suggest coverage and crew. Send the dates and venues, and we confirm the crew and travel.
