Desre & Magtellus : Sarojin Resort, Khao Lak Wedding
Julian: Desre and Magtellus traveled over 10,000 kilometers for their wedding – from Cape Town, South Africa to The Sarojin, Khao Lak, Thailand. So there was no way they were going to let a little rain dampen their wedding day. Which is good, because it’s rainy season in Thailand, and that means some serious downpours. [...]
Kat & Jason : Halong Bay wedding
Julian: I headed out to Halong Bay a few weeks to photograph the very, very intimate wedding of Kat and Jason. Their only guest was their friend Hollie, and I became their fourth wheel for the afternoon. Someone had to help create symmetry at the lunch table as Jason dined on fresh crabs and everyone [...]
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 [...]
Katie & Dave – Hoi An Wedding
Julian: Katie and Dave wanted to keep things nice and simple, relaxed, casual and fun. Music to my ears…. From a cyclo processional to a stroll with a bottle of champagne in-hand through the streets of Hoi An, Katie and Dave proved that keeping things simple can be the key to actually enjoying your wedding [...]
Katie & Dave : Hoi An Wedding

Duong Thuy Linh & Andy Nguyen Viet Thang : Hanoi Wedding
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 [...]
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.
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 [...]
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 [...]
Cuong & Khoa : Hanoi Wedding
Aidan: These images are from Cuong and Khoa’s wonderful Hanoi wedding. Aidan covered the festivities along with our sometime photographic assistant Phuong, who helped capture the flavor at both the Hanoi Hotel and later on at the Intercontinental. Wedding season in North America coincides with great spring/summer/fall weather, and beautiful light. Wedding season in Vietnam, [...]
Halong Bay Wedding: Thu Ha and David
Last weekend Aidan got about four hours sleep, between shooting and traveling he was working almost 40 hours to photograph a wedding in Halong Bay and an an hoi in Hanoi before capturing Vietnam’s football team making history in The Suzuki Cup. First up was David and Thu Ha’s lovely ceremony on board a junk [...]
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 [...]
A night to remember: Caravelle Hotel Saigon
Last weekend Aidan and I flew down to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) to shoot what some social circles have been calling the wedding of the year in Vietnam at The Caravelle Hotel. We can’t name the couple, divulge much detail or post photos from the event, as our clients have requested some privacy for [...]
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 [...]
VWP interviewed on VTV4
Vietnam Wedding Photography was interviewed yesterday for an upcoming program on Vietnam Television. More soon….
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 [...]
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 [...]
