When it comes to wedding photoshoots, couples often picture romantic beach sunsets, lush gardens, or scenic outdoor locations.
But this Malaysian couple had a different idea: they decided 7-Eleven was the perfect spot for their wedding photos.
The adorable photos were shared by their wedding photographer, @duan.halim, in a now-viral Threads post.
"My clients chose the date 7/11. After that, they also chose to shoot at a 7-Eleven. I thought it was funny at first," he wrote.
The photos show the newlyweds dressed in their wedding outfits, happily posing with Slurpees around the convenience store.
The photoshoot took place at the 7-Eleven outlet in Presint 8, Putrajaya, turning the familiar convenience store into a rather unexpected backdrop for their special day.
Speaking to SAYS, the photographer, Riduan, explained that the couple came up with the idea because their wedding fell on 7 November, or 7/11
As the photos went viral, some social media users wondered whether the couple had first met at the convenience store.
However, Riduan clarified that the idea was simply a playful nod to their wedding date.
"The '7/11' reference is special because it corresponds to the date of their wedding. They wanted to align it with the name of the store, 7-Eleven. It was their idea to make it something fun and memorable," he told SAYS.
He added that the photoshoot took place on the same day as their wedding.
Riduan admitted that he was caught off guard when the couple first suggested the location, but quickly got on board
"To be honest, I was surprised at first! Since the weather was so nice that day, I wondered why they wanted to hold a photoshoot inside a store.
"But once they told me the date was 7/11, I immediately understood," he said.
