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 :)
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.
How many times have you board a plane and sit next to a stranger? Did you say "Hi" or introduce yourself? If not, perhaps next time you should. This is how Wira met Candice. Who would have thought a little hallo on a plane one day leads to a lifelong journey together.
A few months ago I had a great time shooting for Sendy & Josephine in Sampoerna Building Jakarta. I've passed by the new building a few times, always thought that it's a cool place to shoot...finally we did it.
When I first met Josh & Widha, I thought to myself, "I can shoot this couple with my eyes closed, and still come up with awesome shots". Ha ha..i'm not being overly confident of my skills, but just take a good look at them. Seriously there's no way I can take a lousy shot, with such good looking couple. So if you like these series of photos, all the credits goes to the sexy and passionate couple.
When I first met Ardi & Anindia, I knew they are not the typical couple. Ardi is a detective, a real one, much like a modern day Sherlock Holmes. At a glance Anindia has this adorable and sweet impression, kinda look like "Michelle Rodriguez" Indonesia version. A little later I find her much more than a pretty girl. She's more like Lara Croft who's into guns and action, with her favorite movie Fast & Furious. So we set out for a fresh concept, one I have never tried before. None of those romantic kissing scenes, we're on for hardcore action.
I met Budi & Fosa months before their photo session. We chat a little bit, trying to get to know them and what they have in mind for their portraits. Often times, when left with too much freedom I'll come up with the craziest idea. Ha ha but not in this case. Fosa clearly wanted something more elegant, something classic, dreamy & romantic. With that brief, we started preparing for the shoot.
Today Indra & Jelly tied the knot, said their "I do", and from now on they are husband and wife. Congratulations to this sweet and loving couple!
We've been blogging quite a few overseas pre-wedding photos, now it's time to show more photos taken in Jakarta. I'm constantly challenged to create one of a kind photos for the couple, no matter where we shoot it. Creativity shouldn't be bounded by the location or spectacular dresses. So here goes Felix & Jelie's pre-wedding photos.
