KUALA LUMPUR: Despite green light from the Malaysian authorities allowing weddings to take place again from Jul 1, those in the industry are prepared for the lull in business to continue as couples take a wait and see approach.
Ms Ho, who usually has at least one wedding every weekend during the June to July period, said her earliest booking after the easing of the restrictions is at the end of September. “Right now, there are a lot of grey areas and the onus of ensuring the guests comply with the SOPs is an added stress that the couples need to take on. So at the end of the day, their wedding may end up being more stressful than enjoyable," he said.
This was just after he explained to them that the National Security Council had issued SOPs for photography sessions which include maintaining social distancing during photos as well as requirements for crowd control. “As a photographer, even for me, it would be difficult to tell people to stand 1m apart in photos ... Moreover, if there is alcohol being served at the wedding, things will get much harder,” said Mr Lim.
Mr Raj said many of his clients have simplified things to a pre-wedding or post-wedding shoot."I think they are worried about how things may go down on that day with all those SOPs in place,” he said.Wedding makeup artist Nurhafizah Ibrahim shared that the number of enquiries has certainly surged since the announcement on Jun 24, but added that it was far from her usual numbers.
