Eugene may not be the typical romantic kind of guy, he doesn’t sweet talk much, but when he said “I Love You” he meant it and he showed it through actions. Here’s a story of Eugene, how he fell for Shu Chen, how he saw her in his eyes and said it through the poem that he wrote for her.
Clifford and Agnes knew each other from high school. They went separated ways after they’re graduated. It was just a matter of time before they found each other again since they are meant to be together. After going through few years of long distance relationship between Sydney and Jakarta, these two love owls (that’s their icons) finally tied the knot. We are glad to have witnessed the union of this good looking couple and here’s some highlights of the happy day. Enjoy!
my my how time flies, now we have reached the last days of 2011. I hope many of you have your 2011 Resolution done before making a new list for next year. If you haven’t, well, you’re lucky to have another chances next year so better not to blew it. Speaking for myself, I just crossed one of my 2011 resolution list last week : throwing a decent Christmas party for the staffs and actually post the pictures in the Facebook! Last year we only had a quick and simple staff lunch out; I was too busy to even upload the pictures in the Facebook, sad I know. Now this year we had a small party in the upgraded office, more food, and more gifts. I’m proud to say that everyone went home happy with full tummy and their gifts from their secret santa. Also, I would like to thank all of our awesome crews, clients, and our faithful readers for your support.
Have a jolly Christmas and a bright new year 2012!
Two years ago I had a privilege taking Hendra and Siska’s pre-wedding pictures in Sydney. This time I got to shoot another pre-wedding photos of Hendra’s brother Ady, and his lovely fiancee, Silvi, in the paradise island, Bali.
Ady is currently running his family business while Silvi is in the midst of pursuing her passion for fashion. Given their busy working schedule spending quality time at home, watching dvds, and enjoying each other’s company are simple things they cherished the most. Inspired with that idea, we designed an icon resembled ‘home’ and had it captured in every places we go.
They both are open for any fun and crazy ideas, if you’re a photographer, you know you’re lucky to have such client. Thank you Ady & Silvi for trusting us and for the awesome time we had together!
Check out their photos and you’ll see how much fun the had. Enjoy!
p.s. we’re gonna post their pre-wedding video soon. Stay tuned!
After watching Sea Games final football match between Indo vs Malaysia few days ago, I couldn’t help but thinking which side will Jonathan take.. His father is Malaysian while his mom is indonesian. Now he’s holding Malaysian passport but he lives in indo his entire life and his wife is Indonesian. Hmmm.. But anyway, I had a pleasure of shooting for his and Wendy’s intimate wedding in Bali and can’t wait to share it.
Attended only by close friends and family, Jon & Wendy’s wedding was simply lovely. Their ceremony was held in the iconic beachfront Conrad Bali and their reception was at the Edge, which is, literally, located at the edge of a cliff with a breathtaking views of the ocean. Just perfect for these two doctors in love.
Meet Ash and Monika, a newlywed who made our Saturday s’wonderful.
Ash lived in London and Monika in New York, so for 2 years they were in long-distance relationship until they decided to move to sunny Singapore and got hitched.Thanks to their best friend, Christine, who introduced us, we had a lovely time getting to know them and taking their portraits. The weather was great and they seemed to enjoy themselves, it was indeed a perfect day.
Daniel and Fenny first met in Overseas Graduate event in Surabaya. Daniel took a glimpse of her and he already fell for her charming and cute smile. After a short time of conversation, they found out how click they were and it led to meeting after meeting. I can imagine how quickly they fell for each other.. they are just so compatible as a couple, a match made in heaven.
They both share the passion of traveling, it’s only natural when they requested a travel theme photo shoot. To tie with the theme, we set out to shoot their pictures in 4 different cities : Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, and Jakarta. We designed a map of their love journey along with a boarding pass for each location that stated with every date and time of that significant events in their relationship. Yes, they kept track of every single details and never failed to celebrate that events their way. I remembered Fenny told me how they celebrated their 1st month anniversary by having a candle light dinner in a middle of a golf course. Also, when Daniel proposed her, he booked the whole second floor of a famous restaurant and filled it with roses. That is how they cherish each other. Aren’t they sweet?
We had fun and laughs during the photo shoot! They said yes for almost anything and that made shooting for them was a breeze. I remembered the night in Hong Kong where we asked them to stand in the middle of the street full of people and kissed. A lot of people thought they were actors and actress in the middle of film shooting. They just did it naturally without feeling uneasy. Also, they were so flexible, they could easily switch from wacky to classy pose in no time.They are just so cute together and the camera just loved them.
Here’s to Daniel and Fenny who just tied the knot, enjoy the fun ride of marriage and wish you lots of love!
Donald and Steph is one of the most memorable couple we’ve had for few reasons. They found us through google and it turned out that Steph’s best friend is both Irene’s and my university friend. They are also the first couple who requested to have their wedding pictures edited in lomo style. As fellow lomo lover, I was more than happy to explore!
Besides, although we’ve had a few couples who come from different countries, they are most probably the most globalised of them all. Donald came from America and Steph came from Indonesia, but that’s only a small portion of their global love story. They met while working in Norway and now they live in Angola! Even on their wedding in Bali the guests were multicultural, coming from every continent of the world.
Speaking of their wedding, it was utterly memorable for me. One day before the wedding, we received news that Stephanie was down with dengue and she was rushed to the hospital as her thrombocytes had dropped rapidly. The wedding was almost cancelled but thankfully the following day Steph felt much better and the doctor let her out from the hospital to proceed with the ceremony. It was a miracle! I bet you wouldn’t be able to tell looking at the photos that Steph had just been hospitalised. She was radiant on that day.
The wedding went very well and I was glad to be part of the wedding and get to know this interesting couple. So cheers to them and enjoy the highlights of their wedding!
Fun bride and wacky groom, cheerful bridesmaids and hilarious best men, beautiful weather and venue.. Matt & Addie’s got everything they need to make the perfect wedding.
The wedding was held in a golf course, about 2 hours drive from the city of Vancouver. As soon as we arrived, together with their bridesmaids and best men, we explored the venue, got a buggy and snapped some shots. The place is marvelous!
I love how the wedding really reflects their personality: FUN and lovely. Matt and Addie totally rocked their wedding day. They danced through their wedding entrance wearing sunglasses! hahaa.. it is always a treat to see the bride and groom loosen up and have fun on their own wedding day.
To Matt and Addie, thank you for trusting us to capture your most treasured moments. You two are perfectly made for each other. We are so blessed to know you. Hope to see you guys again when we visit Vancouver 🙂
Here’s wishing you a wonderful marriage and exciting life together.
Love is indeed funny. You don’t choose who you fall in love with. Who would have thought that the one you’re gonna marry is your classmate who sat right next to you when you were 6 years old?
Gatot and Lia’s story started when they were in primary school. Young Lia thought that Gatot was an annoying and mean boy, while young Gatot thought Lia was a snobbish girl. They used to tease each other. Gatot would often kick Lia in the classroom, while Lia would vandalize his bag in revenge. They went to same junior high school and Gatot realized he had crush on her but he couldn’t make a move since his friend had the same feeling. Time passed by, they remained good friends until last year when they met again at the wedding of Lia’s sister. Gatot didn’t waste any more chance, he knew what he had to do. He asked Lia out for movie, and eventually they hit it off.
It was kinda weird at the beginning as Lia had always seen Gatot as her childhood buddy, but when it feels right you just know it. Funny isn’t it? While you’re looking for your soulmate in any other places, he happens to be right in front of you all this years.
Lia and Gatot is one of easiest couples we ever shot. They are natural and so comfortable with each other. When I met Gatot for the first time, I thought he was a serious, uptight guy but I was wrong. We had great laughs during photo shoot, especially at the school when we took their picture at their exact seats 22 years ago. It was really nostalgic for both of them.
Another great thing about them is Lia loves dogs, Westies particulary. In fact she is a Westies breeder! It was a treat to see them have fun with our Westies. Also, they have a number of pet names for each other: “Munchkin” for Lia and “Mr Donut” for Gatot as he LOVES donuts. He reminds me of Homer haha..
Started as nemesis in primary school, grew up to be bestfriends, suddenly became lovers, and in just few weeks they will be bride and groom. To Gatot and Lia, thanks for such awesome time, also Mimi Kwok make up artist who kept us company 😉 Here’s to the happy couple, wishing you many happy and blessed years together! Cheers.
