I have once walked a path that you are strolling down now. A path so bright with sunshine, and vivid tall blossoms.

A whole different world than what we are used to, a world that offers nothing but the greatest gift God can give.

Words we hear people use to describe our work here in Axioo:

-Creative;
-Fresh;
-Unique;
-Different;
-Innovative;

While we're often times flattered by these, These aren't the words that we'd like to be remembered for.
When it comes to the things we do, big or small, our big word is "meaningful".

Something meaningful is not bound by trends and styles.

You don't just strike a pose. Those photos have to mean something to you.
Design and packaging aren't just hip and cool. They need to express who you are.

Remember the movie titled, My Best Friend's wedding ? it is about A comedy about finding your heart and losing your head. Staring, Michael and Julianne who have been best friends for years, but they were never more than that, until he popped the question - to someone else. Drama ... Drama

I'm still getting used to keeping things updated and writing our blog. Here's a beautiful wedding we shot last week on August 30th. A little bit on how i get to know them, so actually Chris' brother Stephen is my old college buddy back in Seattle. I didn't get to shoot their pre-wedding portraits, but Ivan had a lot of fun with them (i'll post some of the pre-wed pics too).

When was the last time you say, "I love you" , or heard someone says that to you . It's such a powerful words. People have many different ways to say I love you. Some through gifts, touch, words, or the times that they spend together with the loved ones.

You think you know certain things.

You read about them. Talk about them. Have meetings and strategies around them.

But it takes a good friend to point out the fact that you're not really walking the talk as consistently as you should. (We have great people here in Axioo.)

So here's a little something for those of you who have have connected to us via email. Just two short and important words.

I'm sorry.

We're sorry. That we have not taken the additional step to show you how much we value you as a friend.

It's a long weekend for me. Just before leaving to shoot 2 out of town weddings in Bali & Semarang, we were working on our solo exhibition in Plaza Indonesia (for those of you who couldn't make it, i promise to give you a little sneak peek on what we're doing)

A lot of people have asked us why we don't show up often enough at wedding exhibitions.

That's because of the nature of these exhibitions.
Most vendors will always offer you good bargain prices and quick deals.
In a mega-exhibition, you're just another customer. Another face in the crowd.

These are contrary to what we really value at Axioo.

It's been a month since our trip to Seattle & Vegas shooting for Wenny & Ari. This is a record breaking trip of 3 days shoot without any breaks for jet lag and doing it solo. I love the challenge, but missed Fen (my wife)!

I love Seattle, still miss it once in a while. As soon as i land, grab a car at Hertz (super fast service...love the whole renting experience, made it all so easy) then head to the hotel to pick up Wenny & Ari. First thing first, lunch at 5 Spot cafe in Queen Anne, really good...but the portion is way too big.

Cost - is an amount that has to be paid or spent to buy or obtain something. The effort, loss, or sacrifice necessary to achieve or obtain something.

Value - is the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance or preciousness of something. The usefulness of something considered in respect of a particular purpose.

Which of these two words come to mind when you're deciding through the situations listed below? Do you ask, "how much does it cost?" Or "how valuable is it?"

The ideas of Seasons of Love is inspired by Christa and Martin's real dating stories. The most interesting and yet challenging part of pre-wedding photography lies in the concept. We spend hours and some time days just to come out with a fresh idea, worth exploring. Constantly cracking our heads to deliver unique and yet real moments we know will be treasured for many years to come.

Every couple has a story...so here's Yoan & Dede's love story. Inspired by Japanese comics, we head to Perth, where it all began. Their sweet dating years sounds much like the perfect high school sweetheart love story.

So for the last couple of days, we've been shooting for Rieka & Thane for their pre-wedding portraits. Coming up with a crazy concept "Two of a kind" was easier than the execution. The idea is having their portraits around different animals ranging from birds, cats, dogs, rabbits, turtle, dolphins, whale and even pigs (Fen had to audition the pigs for the shoot).

It's been a crazy ride here in Axioo. We've travelled at least 35,000 miles in the last two months!! That's more than a trip around the world, which is only about 25,000 miles. I've had too much fun!! A little tiring, but it's all worth it :)

Do you think people are born creative ? There's always a debate on that subject.
Aside from that unending debates, I thank God for my genius and creative Dad who taught me photography.
He was there the first time I took my first shot. He bought me my first camera, and that was the first time I fell in love with photography. And now he is teaching Axel how to paint his room ;)

Last Week was a Father's Day. It is the time to really appreciate what Fathers have done and who they are ;) .....

David was in the States, shooting for our clients. And I missed him so badly ;p

...... I was inspired to make this home video clip for him .
So, here it is. This is our story ....


It's so true that inspiration usually comes during those moments.

Am I successful? Am I on the right track, going to the place I want to be ?
Am I rich enough ? Am I happy ?

That is the questions that keep bubbling in my head these couple weeks.

At this very moment, I began counting my blessings. Countless of images keep on appearing in front of me ...

Until, there is this particular scene that make me press pause button .......

"taa - raaaaaa " ....................
