Saigon's favorite wedding shot spot

Julian: I was walking around downtown Saigon a few weeks back, and ducked into the Ho Chi Minh City History Museum, which like most museums here is an interesting mix of fact, fiction, and extreme kitsch. Its a favorite haunt of Saigon wedding photographers, mostly because of the grand staircase in the main hallway, which does have some pretty amazing cascading natural light from the second floor. I snapped a frame while a local crew were hard at work.

Zui and Linh : Hanoi engagement shoot

We actually took these photos at the end of May, but work and holidays piled up and we were only able to post them here now. Zui and Linh wanted some engagement photos done in Hanoi, and we wanted to find somewhere outdoor but private. I had shot Zen Spa last year for a Canadian lifestyle magazine, so gave them a call and booked the shoot at their Hanoi location, which sits just off the banks of the Red River a few kilometers north of the city centre. Zui and Linh were great, full of lighthearted laughter that kept the shoot fresh and fun for the whole morning, despite the insane heat and humidity. Linh changed outfits halfway through, so we were able to capture images in both western wedding dress and the traditional Vietnamese ao dai. She looked equally beautiful in both. Thanks to both of them for a fun shoot.
