When this bride requested nighttime portraits with her new husband, Malaysian-based photographer Faiz Bakar knew that he had a bit of a challenge ahead of him. “During the day we had beautiful natural light, so at night, light would be our limitation,” Bakar says. “We had to find a place that offered enough ambient light to make it work.”

Fortunately, Bakar found this well-lit alleyway that offered beautiful bokeh as well. “I chose to pose them in this intimate embrace so that the attention is focused on them,” he says. “Their chemistry and joyful expressions really make this photo pop.”
