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...
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...
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...
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.

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...
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...
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 believed,...
