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. [...]
Cover story in East&West Magazine
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, [...]
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 [...]
Truc & Jason : Ho Chi Minh City wedding
Julian: Man, did Aidan and I have fun at this wedding. Truc and Jason came over from Australia for their nuptials in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), and brought an amazing group of family and friends along with them. The day was split into two, with a traditional Vietnamese ceremony at Truc’s mother’s home in [...]
Truc & Jason : engagement in Ho Chi Minh City
Aidan: I spent a fun-filled day with Truc and Jason in Saigon last week. Our day included visits to Notre Dame Cathedral, Presidential Palace Gardens, Binh Quoi Village, Cholon Market and Pagoda in Chinatown and Phu My Hung Park in District 7. We have just photographed her wedding at the splendid Park Hyatt Hotel Saigon and hope [...]
1 week, 4 weddings, 6948 images
Julian: Last week I shot four weddings – one in Saigon (with Aidan) and three in Hoi An/Danang. They were all unique, and amazingly good fun, but at the end of it, I could barely see straight. In fact, at the last one, when I was setting up a remote strobe for the first dance, [...]
Brian and Aneela : Wedding at The Sarojin, Khao Lak, Thailand
Aidan: Hailing from Texas and Trinidad, Brian and Aneela met in Edinburgh before traveling over half the globe and now residing in Singapore. Despite always wanting to discover new places, one country always stuck out for them and it was Thailand that they chose to get married in. The location was the award-winning boutique hotel, [...]
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 [...]
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.
Vinh & Diep : Hanoi Wedding
Julian: Two weeks ago we photographed Vinh And Diep’s Hanoi wedding. Vinh is a worldly young man who studied in France, Canada and the US, and its remarkably romantic that he married Diep, the girl next door (or, the girl from about a block and a half away). The weather gods were not smiling on [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
