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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Kenneth and Eunice : Hanoi engagement shoot
Kenneth emailed me from Hong Kong a few months ago. He and his girlfriend Eunice were planning a trip to Vietnam, and he was going to propose during the journey. He wanted to spend half a day in Hanoi taking casual, fun pictures of them touring the city. Unfortunately, we ran into some of the [...]
Ming and Hang : Halong Bay engagement shoot
Some couples are camera-shy. Some have a hard time being intimate in front of the camera. Not Ming and Hang. By the end of our shoot in Halong Bay, when we would ask them to kiss they were already at it, almost oblivious to the camera. In fact, a few times we had to ask [...]
Steve and Hanh : Hanoi An Hoi
Steve and Hanh are two of our oldest friends in Hanoi. Hanh made an honest man of Hanoi’s premier punk rock wheelie-poppin’ bassist this weekend during a beautiful (but stifling hot!) an hoi ceremony at her parent’s apartment. I was part of the groom’s entourage who bore gifts of rice cakes, wine and cigarettes to [...]
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 [...]
