In many ways Kendy & Fanny are similar to me & my wife Natasha. Being a graphic designer, Kendy knows what he wants for his pre-wedding, something out of the box. He seems to have all the ideas floating in his mind, just waiting for a piece of paper to sketch it out. When he shared his ideas, I get it instantly, and vice versa. We seem to share the same wavelength when discussing ideas. And our wives who are not as visual as us, they need a little more explanation ;)

Hey hey hey...
Finally i got the chance to meet you guys in words,
Some of you might have noticed that this is the first time I am writing an Axioo's blog. As a matter of fact, this is the first time EVER i get to write in a blog...yeep...shame on me...but there's always the first for everything ...right?
The reason I started to write is because last month, we, the producers, directors and photographers had a meeting in our beautiful, cozy, full of joy office, and David as our leader pushed us to start taking a step by step action beyond our limitations in this new year. So here I am with all the limitations that i have, hope u guys enjoy my blog
A little bit about Ryan and Hana. I don't know why, but every time i start thinking about this couple, I feel a warm breeze in my heart. Maybe because their love is so contagious, it's so delightful watching them talking, laughing and looking at each other. And not just in front of the camera, but they really.. really like to tease each other. And what I also love about them besides that they're very humble people and easy to talk with, is their sundanese accent, which you can hear in the movie...so sweet right?
So after meeting and getting to know them, I decided to go for a romantic video concept for their Same Day Edit (because I am a romantic guy :p). All we did is shoot them when they're playing in the garden and in the pool, put a great song and...guest what? The magic happens by itself!
When we were playing the same day edit video in their wedding reception... I'm the first to start having tears in my eyes (well, maybe right after Ryan). I can see him and Hana holding each other's hands with big smiles on their faces. At that point I know, that Ryan and Hana are not just tying the knot with each other, but they also succeeded in spreading their love to everyone who watches them... So I say: Let there be love in our hearts!
Cheers!!

I love Korea!! Though I've only been to Seoul & Jeju island, I find the country is so rich in culture, good food and yes cool fashion too.
A few months ago, I had the pleasure of shooting for Eric & Alda in Seoul. There's something about Eric & Alda that reminded me of Seoul Subway, ha ha i know it's random but maybe it's because we commute on subways during our Seoul photo session. More than that, I find relationship may sometimes look as complicated as the subway lines, yet the intersecting colors enrich the journey of discovering each other.

My first impression when I met Hanssen is, he is a very cool guy, and Mercy is a very patient and full of smile girl, both of them are very charming. At first I thought they are a typically silent couple, but when I got to know both of them more, everything changed, Hanssen and I both love gadgets and photography, and Mercy loves to eat (a lot). They are very kind, easy going and loyal. We absolutely enjoyed our first day pre-wedding shoot in Bali with Paulus Hyu (our photographer). It's a privilege for me to have them as a couple.
The story of how they both met is because of a guy named Epen, he was the person behind this magical true love story. Mercyana, who likes to be called Mercy, is very smart, attractive/beautiful (she is very poppular in the university), and she is very talented in making artworks. While Hanssen is a gadget freak, loves to joke, fun, easy going, and he is good in taking picture.
One sweet story aside from their wedding, was once upon a time, Hanssen asked Mercy to go to Bandung, but when he picked her up, he brought her to the airport told her that they were actually going to Bali. The surprise didn't stop there, Hanssen gave more surprises, took her around Bali, treat her Spa, ate king crab on the sea shore, and visited some romantic places. Talk about a Romantic Getaway.
Once again Congratz Hanssen and Mercy!

All these years, I always ask couples the same question, "How did he propose?" Each time, I'm ready to hear a surprising answer. Chun Kiat & Cheng Cheng has their own unique version. This one I have never heard before, and made me smile when I think about it.
Hong Kong!! Not only it has been 10 years since I went there but it was also my first time shooting there, haha imagine all the excitement (read: preparation and research) I had!
Sandy and Jessica are amazing couple! The both of them love plush toys, like love love loveee and they have so many of them. Some of their toys even go wherever they go. They have known each other since primary school, two little childhood friends who met again when they both had holiday at Jakarta and fall in love :)

FIRST blog in 2012! So a Happy New Year 2012 from the Directors, Producers, Editors and Cinematographers in the Video Department is appropriate! This is the 2nd Wedding Video from Garry's trip to Singapore towards the end of last year and we're very excited to post this clip for our first post in 2012.
This one is about the tale of two cities, Jakarta where Angel lived, and Medan where Jhonny lived and where distance is a big factor of them not being able to get to know each other at first, until Angel went to Medan for someone's birthday. That is when they are able to meet up, spend the whole day together and got to know each other better. Sparks flew that day, and although it's really unexpected, they fell for each other.
But this is also a tale of two signs, Jhonny who is a Scorpio and Angel who is a Gemini. Of how Angel was struggling because she believed that a Scorpion and a Gemini wouldn't be a compatible match. And yes, Angel is a true believer of Zodiac signs :)
THIS, is a tale of two hearts, where against all odds, Jhonny finally managed to make Angel fall in love with him, strong enough to convince her to leave faraway from her family to move to Medan with him. And the Gemini Angel, Love stung by the Scorpion finally said yes in Singapore.
And we were there to capture every moment.

Love knows no boundaries. The love story of Su Lyn and Nick spans from Malaysia to Australia and now to the United Kingdom. These two lovebirds were made for each other, sharing the same passion for food and travel. And so i was really excited to be able to shoot their prewed session in London, the city where they are currently residing. We went through great lengths to be able to make this shoot happen as we faced several hurdles along the way. But we are glad that all things worked out for good and we had an awesome time shooting around the city.
