AXIOO

Keith & Riana met years ago during their study in Melbourne. There was something about her that caught his attention. Keith couldn't stop talking about her. Told his friends about how wonderful she is. That was years ago. Now they are tying the knot to a new life together.

I was supposed to shoot Keith & Riana last November in Melbourne, but somehow the weather wasn't on our side and we decided to rearrange the schedule. On my second trip in January, everything went perfectly. Light summer breeze made our photo session even more enjoyable, though it got chilly at times.

We were estatic when Jenny told us the good news. She's getting married to Jeremy! First thing I asked was the wedding date. For some reason we managed to work around the schedule for me to not only attend, but also shoot her wedding. Finally the long awaited day arrived, I'm glad I was there to see them finally hitched.

It is true two is better than one. Now that I'm listening to this song by Boys like Girls, it's taking me ten years back. I'm sure the song must have meant a lot to Jimmy & Eveline, for it to be chosen as their photoclip song.

Not too long ago on a super sunny day in Bali, there weds Adenan & Angeline. Well for them, they actually met a long time ago, been in love and dated each other for years before finally tying the knot. I'm always curious what happens before they say 'I do', how's the complete story like, the good times, the bad, the funny days, the quarrels, the proposal and what leads to this wedding day. Looks like only they would know the full version. For most of us, we only get a sneak peek into a tiny slice of their life, their beginning of becoming husband & wife.

Last year I had the wonderful experience of shooting for Leonel & Grace. I've been looking forward to shoot their wedding, ever since I saw their New York pre-wedding photos taken by David.

I love shooting the little details they made ready from the engagement party to wedding day. My eyes are drawn to the pretty tea cups and baskets of gifts exchange. These seems like ordinary items carrying extraordinary meaning of blessing for the couple.

Let's fast forward a little to Ervan & Shinta's wedding day. As I mentioned earlier in their pre-wedding post, of how meticulous they are in planning a French romantic theme wedding, here's their wedding photos.  

Hope you guys had a beautiful Valentine's Day with your loved ones. Thought I'd like to share this special piece of trailer on this special day to hopefully brighten the start of your day, or put a smile on your face before you end your day.

I say this piece is special, because we don't get a lot of traditional weddings, and this is one of those. We're always super excited to shoot a traditional wedding, because it always has so many interesting details and cultural values that makes the wedding very romantic and colorful.

But this wedding is special also, because this is one of those rare weddings where our team literally fell in love with the bride! Putri has a face that's not only beautiful, but also has a certain aura that makes her seems like she's glowing. She also has a smile that captivates the people around her. Needless to say we had an absolute blast capturing every moment of the day!

PS: Triandi is an absolutely handsome and pleasant guy as well. Too bad all of the team shooting that day are bunch of guys :p

We're blessed to be able to shoot some of the most beautiful people in their wedding. This one particular day, we got much more than we bargained for. Not only we were WOWed by how beautiful Margaret was and how charming Ivan was, we were also WOWed by how much they love each other.

The whole day we find ourselves constantly being marveled with all the things that were going on. And after we thought we've had our fill of wonderful and beautiful moments and scenes, we heard Ivan's vow in church, and we knew right away that that's what our Trailer should start from. It wasn't the best speech I've ever heard honestly, but it was indeed one of the most sincere, touching and romantic vow I've heard.

After the vow, we find ourselves looking at each other with our glassy eyes saying: wow...

Enjoy this series of Ervan & Shinta's pre-wedding portraits. We set out to shoot something more romantic, classic and subtle, unlike the crazier and louder portraits we used to create. This is more 'them'. That is what matters.

We've been blogging about our adventures with the weather in Bali. That when you have a wedding in Bali, one would usually need to hire a "rain master" or what the locals call "Pawang Hujan" to make sure that it doesn't rain. But for Josh and Juliana, even tho they had their wedding in Jakarta, they too wanted to make sure that it doesn't rain on their wedding day. because they had their wedding outdoors.

BUT, being unpredictable as always, it rained since the morning of their wedding day. So, they had to make arrangements for plan B. But the rain didn't really make Josh upset, and being a wonderful singer, he just whipped out his guitar and started singing. Miraculously, the rain stopped 1 hour before the ceremony. Josh sang during Juliana's entrance and brought tears of joy to Juliana. And the whole day went beautiful beyond words.

Sometimes you don't need to hire a "rain master" to stop the rain. All you have to do your own "rain dance" to the One that created the rain, just like Josh did.
