Bi & Ygal : Hue engagement
Julian: Bi and Ygal are manga comic librarians in Belgium. But when night falls, they fight crime on the mean streets of Brussles…. OK, that second part isn’t true, but the first is. I didn’t know such a cool job existed – and Bi and Ygal are definitely cool. They wanted something a little different [...]
Duong Thuy Linh & Andy Nguyen Viet Thang : Hanoi Dam Hoi
Julian: I had a wonderful day last week photographing the dam hoi (it’s the traditional Vietnamese wedding planning ceremony) from the perspective of the bride-to-be: Thuy Linh. They had hired another photographer to follow the groom, so I was able to spend all my time following Thuy Linh around as she prepared for the ceremony [...]
Donna & Steve : Khao Lak wedding
Julian: Last week I flew to Thailand to photograph Donna and Steve’s wedding in Khao Lak, a gorgeous beach area near Phuket that was flattened by the tsunami five years ago. I spent three weeks covering the tsunami aftermath there five years ago, and it was a bit emotional getting back there. It’s great to [...]
Tuyen & Nhi : The Inter Continental Hotel Hanoi Wedding
Aidan: After relocating to HCMC its always fun to return to Hanoi for a wedding and what better place than The Inter Continental Hotel. The weather denied us a reception at The Sunset Bar but they put on a stunning dinner in the ballroom.
Vinh & Diep : Hanoi Wedding
Julian: Two weeks ago we photographed Vinh And Diep’s Hanoi wedding. Vinh is a worldly young man who studied in France, Canada and the US, and its remarkably romantic that he married Diep, the girl next door (or, the girl from about a block and a half away). The weather gods were not smiling on [...]
VWP, another year older….
It is just over a year since we photographed together as VWP, and to celebrate this we have a wedding photography exhibition at Highway4 Restaurant and Bar, 5 Hang Tre, Hanoi. Running from 7th to 28th October we are displaying hundreds of images in collages on their ground floor. Every single wedding has been a [...]
Cynthia & Michael : Saigon Wedding
Aidan: This was one of the most fun weddings we have shot, full of games and entertainment, and back to the stunning Park Hyatt Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. Julian was caught covering Typhoon Ketsana in Central Vetnam, so we called in Francois from NOI pictures to help out with the day’s coverage. We [...]
Natalia & Jaroslaw : Hanoi & Halong Bay Wedding
Aidan: Natalia and Jaroslaw loved Hanoi so much when they visited two years ago that they brought their families over from Poland to get married here. A relaxing day cruising in Halong Bay was followed by a cyclo ride to a pagoda in The Botanical Gardens for a beautiful ceremony by the lake, with dinner [...]
Vietnamese wedding fashion show
Julian: Weddings are big business in Vietnam. The global economic meltdown hasn’t deterred young couples in Hanoi and Saigon from spending money on lavish affairs. These images are from a wedding fashion show in Hanoi, where industry vendors showed off their latest wares for the 2009 wedding season. And if the designers are to be [...]
Aditya & Linda : Hanoi and Halong Engagement
Aidan & Justin: Aditya and Linda flew up from Indonesia to have their engagement photos shot in Hanoi and Halong Bay, just as the weather up here started to turn favorable after a winter of soggy, foggy photo sessions. Special thanks to associate snapper Justin who stepped as Julian was out the country collecting his [...]
Guilhem & Huyen : Hanoi engagement shoot
Aidan: Tour guide, Bar owner and Minsk Club footballer Guilhem and his fiancee Huyen braved the heat on Sunday as Summer hit Hanoi. Some say it reached 39′C in the early afternoon but the couple kept smiling as they wiped the sweat from their brows. Staying away from the clicheed Opera House and Botanical Gardens [...]
Markus & Hanh : Luang Prabang Wedding
Julian: Markus and Hanh are an American couple who lived in Vietnam for many years before returning to the US just a few years ago. Since they still have a lot of friends in Vietnam, but wanted a wedding with a little extra flavor, they arranged their ceremony to take place in lovely Luang Prabang, [...]
Thang and Chi : The Inter Continental Hotel Hanoi
Aidan: The winter weddings continue in Hanoi, and the Interncontinental is fast becoming the most popular hotel in town for photoshoots. And for good reason – Thang and Chi absolutely loved shooting here, and had no problem getting comfortable in front of the camera in these beautiful surroundings. We’re really looking forward to the wedding [...]
Marc & Hien : Hanoi An Hoi and Wedding
Marc and Hien’s An Hoi was hosted in her family’s house in the Bach Dang area of Hanoi, a great neighbourhood along the riverside, behind the Opera House. I love shooting An Hoi, because it is the traditional Vietnamese element of weddings here: the groom’s entourage arrives in cyclos bearing gifts, to ask permission for [...]
