What happens when you fly in guests from all over the world to convene at a spectacular new villa in Phuket, Thailand? A little bit of everything, and a great way for us to end 2011 with our last big wedding of the year. A very big shout out goes to Jeanette at Luxury Events...
We had a brilliant time in Ko Samui with Danny and Tracey a few weeks ago. Meeting up with them in Fishermans Village, Bohput, on Ko Samui’s North coast Julian was able to steal a sunset shot under the main pier. The next day we headed down to Faraway Villa on Lipa Noi Beach; Danny...
Julian: We met Grace and Jack for our morning session bright and early at The Legian in Seminyak. Aidan and I wore shorts, Grace and Jack wore formal evening attire, like they had just stepped off a plane direct from Monte Carlo. Even though they were completely down to earth, the fine threads suited them perfectly. And we knew...
Julian: Lovely Fei and Leon from Sydney, Australia. Actuaries by day, florists by night. We met in Bali for a portrait session, which gave me an opportunity to explore some great places with them that I’d never been to, including Tanah Lot and Taman Ayun temples. Even with the crowds, Tanah Lot was impressive. Fei...
Aidan: Almost a year since Julian and I photographed a wedding together, it was great to work again where it all started; our home for so many years, Hanoi. Since then, between us, we have lived in Canada, Saigon, Ko Samui and Bali; next month we are both moving again. Julian will be in Manila,...
Julian: This is not a pre-wedding shoot. Engagement shoot? Nope. This is a honeymoon shoot, and my very first. A big, big, BIG thank you goes out to Danna and Brian for asking me to join them on an amazing day out around Bali, visiting the morning market in Ubud, a little chitchat with the...
Julian: I had a great time photographing Randi, Espen and their wonderful families at the Asara Villas in Hua Hin. A beautiful beach, blue skies, and a fun bunch of Norwegians letting loose in the sand.
Julian: In March I photographed a wonderful wedding at the historic Oriental Hotel, on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. I recall looking out the window, across the muddy waters, and seeing a rather spectacular place called the Peninsula right across the river. Hmmm, I thought. Wouldn’t it be cool to shoot...
Julian: Kelsey and Travis just spent the last six months living in Mumbai, India, where Travis was working as a tennis pro. I’m a huge tennis fan, and I’ve shot the Australian Open a few times, so once we started chatting online about photography and tennis, we knew we were a great fit for a...
Julian: When Boom first contacted me about photographing her wedding at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand, I reread her email a few times. The Oriental holds a certain place in classic hotel lore that is occupied by only a handful of select properties. The Metropole in Hanoi, Vietnam, comes to mind as another....
