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,...
Dom: As there are only 2 British consulates that offer civil ceremonies in Asia (Tokyo and Hanoi), Marion from Australia and Camilla from the UK decided on Vietnam as they love the city and it was also easy for their friends from Bangkok, Shanghai and Hong Kong to come and celebrate with them. With Julian is...
Aidan: Nina & Matt’s Hanoi and Halong wedding has recently been featured in their local news. Destination weddings really are “A thrill of a lifetime”! Please check back early next year as we have weddings from Hong Kong, Pleiku, Siem Reap and Hanoi waiting to be posted. Happy New Year!
Aidan: There is something uniquely beautiful about a traditional Vietnamese wedding; the colours, tea ceremony, praying and music. Van Ha and Alex’s wedding was indeed very beautiful. Alex and his family took cyclos from The Intercontinental Hotel on West Lake to Van Ha’s family home in Dong Da District. After the ceremony everyone headed back...

Aidan: Why have a wedding day when you can have two! HANOI The 10th October 2010 is a great date to have your wedding ceremony, however Hanoi decided to have its 1000 year anniversary on the same day. Whilst this didn’t cause us any problems, it meant we had to set the alarms for 0330hr...

Julian: Had a nice little surprise last week. I knew my wedding work was going to be featured in this month’s edition of East&West magazine, but found out after it hit the stands that the article is the cover story, which is pretty sweet. Big, big “thank you’s” to Kim and Dane (that’s Kim above,...
Julian & Aidan: Thuy Linh and Andy’s magnificent wedding at the Daewoo Hotel in Hanoi managed to seat over a thousand people into the grounds outside by the pool, which was really so much nicer than inside a dimly lit ballroom. I really enjoyed photographing Thuy Linh as she and her bridesmaids prepared for the...
A lost passport and canceled flights due to heavy snow didn’t prevent Thuy and Evan making the long journey over from the US to Vietnam. Evan’s mother was making her first ever trip out of the US and his father’s first for 40 years. However he quickly picked up the language and his speech, delivered...
