AXIOO

Once in a while we get playful and do some random stuff like shooting our new office. Here's a little glimpse to what goes on in Axioo. Enjoy :)

Hey hey hey...let's meet the energic couple Andry and Lien. During our first meeting i didn't notice how 'crazy' Andry' is...until the photo session. When we found out that Lien works in Singapore Airlines...we knew we just had to shoot her in uniform. Lien you are Axioo's Stewardess of the year :) 

Here's Liverpool VS Chelsea, though rivals in the English League, their fans happens to be in love. Both of you must have been very dissapointed with the English team losing out in this World Cup. By the way, i love Andry's make up...you should have that on often :0

That day, we had so much fun and laughter a lot during the photoshoot. Hmm, this is always the case when i'm shooting, we laugh more than we shoot. In this series, you'll find the fun and quirkiness of Andry and Lien...hope you'll enjoy it!

Ivan OUT!

Every couple has their own story and memories about their relationship. When I first met Casey and Melin early this year, they wanted me to shoot their pre-wedding 'based on their true story'. So here's what we did, from the moment the met, the gifts they gave to each other, the dinners, the proposal, and their intimate moments together. Of course with our little twist here and there to remake their story *wink

I love shooting them! They came prepared, trusting, willing to try anything and happy to be themselves. That's all we need for prewedding shoot :) Thank you guys and congrats again to Casey and Merlin, i believe your marriage life is gonna be a wonderful one...enjoy!!!

Congratulations to the newlyweds Hendry & Maggie!! We had a great time shooting their wedding last weekend. You both are so made for each other :)

Here's a series of photos taken in Singapore and Jakarta for a few hours each. We were having fun until we noticed Henry kept melting during the session in Singapore. He can't stand the heat and as soon as we're out in the sun, he's all drenched again. Maggie of course wanted more of this and she enjoyed being in the spotlight. 

As i'm writing this, i can't get your wedding moments out of my mind..it's still so fresh. Ok ok we'll try to put it up by this week, you'll enjoy their wedding too ;)

When Ino first said he wanted to shoot their pre-wedding in Raja Ampat, Irian...i thought he's only kidding. I entertained the idea for a while, then googled "Raja Ampat. By the time the first images came up, i'm already sold, i'm in...let's do this!! Irian is the eastern most island of Indonesia's archipelago. Did you know that we have over 13,000 islands? And it would probably take a lifetime to explore each one. So why not start now ;)

This trip is more than just a pre-wedding photo session. It's an eye opening experience to see how rich Indonesia is. Our crystal clear waters, rich corals, and most bio-diverse marine region on earth makes it look like heaven on earth. For honeymooners, you have to make check it out.

Ino & Cheery is a happy go lucky couple who's just happy to be together, no matter where we'll shoot their pre-wedding. For the whole time we were with them, we enjoyed how candid and intimate they are. Time time we had no specific schedules, we totally go with the flow. Started out with hours of island hopping, fishing, snorkeling and more shooting in the Misool Eco Resort...all that matters is we all had a great time. 

Be sure to watch their pre-wedding video, you'll get a glimpse of how beautiful Raja Ampat is. Last i heard, it is the best diving spot in the world!

Here's another cute couple, Andy and Margie...

We are so in love with Japan, there's a place called Chidorigafuchi at Imperial Place...you can ride a boat around the river, surrounded with cherry blossom trees, so spectacular and romantic. It takes time to control the boat, but after a while it's quite easy. Disneyland and Disneysea was a cute surprise...had a great time shooting there :)

Like i said before the best time to visit Japan is in March or April because of stunning Cherry Blossom. We had so much fun even during the concept meeting, where we found out how they are like as individuals and as a couple. We knew how adorable and sweet you both are to each other, your chemistry shows in the photos. Thank you guys for trusting us with your wardrobe. Helen & I had a great time knowing you. Enjoy this Japan photo series!

Arigato gozaimasu!!!....*bow*

We count ourselves lucky to be surrounded by lovebirds, who are so crazy over each other. Over the years, we've shot quite a numbers of couples, and it's always been our pleasure to listen to their fascinating high-over-the-hill love story and a bitter-sweet twist of their romance. And despite of their differences, through trials and tears, they decided that he or she is one, they want to spend their life with.

Getting married is the most important decision in one’s life. It’s the decision that affects the rest of your life. Marriage can make life on earth heaven or hell. So for all the singles, please choose your partner very carefully, it’s okay to be picky ;)

Remember our teenage years, all the pillow talks, and gossips at the school’s cafeteria with the girls about the boys, our high school’s crushes. Close your eyes for a little while and back to yesteryears. Think of your love life. Isn’t it what makes life colorful? Think what makes you smile today …

This whole month of July, Axioo is displaying art work at Plaza Indonesia, with a theme: “Love colors your life”. It’s a colorful piece of love story, what LOVE does to people, the passions, the joy, laughter, the silly moments that make our heart beats faster, the one thing that make our life colorful.

Omoide Ga Ippai means full of memories and that is Japan :) Here's the energic couple James and Vania, this is the first time for James visiting Japan but Vania is addicted to this country and she always come to visit every year. Actually her obsession over Japan was what gave the idea for us to shoot their prewedding in Japan.

I was amazed listening to Vania speaking fluent Japanese and to prove that she is a Japan freak, she wrote a blog about her experience in this country. If you are planning to visit Japan, you should visit her blog and believe me you will learn a lot about Japan. Our session was absolutely fabulous, though a little bit rainy and windy but hey we had so much fun :) I hope u enjoy James & Vania series of their pre-wedding shoot...and i can"t wait for their big day.

I'll always remember Jimmy and Fanny as my first couple from Bojonegoro and Malang :) Thanks for coming all the way to have me shoot for your pre-wedding. Couples are always different, in this case Jimmy is more quiet and kept smiling all day, whereas Fanny is super cheerful and a lot more
talkative...you guys are cute together. Our brainstorming session led us to shoot their portraits in Singapore. So on one happy sunny day we roam around town and had so much fun shooting all day. Big thanks to Vivian for a light and natural make up :)

As you might expected, this is NOT the typical wedding. Yes of course the ceremony is still the heart of the wedding, and their vows seal the deal. But other than that Moko & Jovita envision a different kind wedding with more twists in decor, song lists, and dress code. Imagine a super colorful, retro, pop culture, Andy Warhol images to light up the ambience during their ballroom reception. When was the last time you came to a wedding and be mesmerized by the wedding band? Very unlikely. Here's one wedding that guests stayed up all night entertained by the fantastic band! Here's another one, get your friends excited for your wedding. Have a dress code, your BFF will come shining in whatever dress code. Moko & Jovita send out invitations reminding the guys to be 'Groovy' and ladies to be 'Foxy'. And sure enough, quite a number showed like they came from the Austin Powers movie set...I love it!!

We all learn a thing or two from Moko & Jovita. When planning for your wedding, remember this 'be yourself', add your personality, have fun planning your wedding. Instead of striving for standard perfection, go for 'uniquely you'...this way your wedding is one of a kind.
