This was more than my first official project. It was a gift from Nabilah, a friend whose journey I have quietly witnessed over the years. On her wedding day, I was trusted to capture a story woven from tradition, color and the warmth of family.

The ceremony unfolded in dreamlike moments: gentle steps during bersanding, hands sharing gifts, laughter echoing among old friends and the delicate shimmer of heritage passing through generations. Through my lens I searched for quiet glances, fleeting touches and the way nostalgia lingers in the air.

The soundtrack, “Someone to Stay” by Vancouver Sleep Clinic, holds a meaning only we can truly know. I have seen the flow of people in her life and always hoped she would find a soul who stays, that hope found its answer on this day.

I edited this video to feel like memory itself. Soft, cinematic and gently colored by sentiment, it is more than a record. It is a keepsake of emotion, culture and the day my friend finally found, someone to stay.
