“A throwback to Hong Kong’s colonial days in a setting reminiscent of an exclusive private club, the Verandah boasts a stylish yet relaxed atmosphere, with tall ceilings and whirling fans, starched tablecloths and flowers, and windows open to the sea.” Aidan: The south side of Hong Kong island is almost opposite to the busy high-rises of...
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: 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: “Can you ride a jetski?” I asked. “Is it a sit down or stand up? If it’s a stand up I can ride it backwards!” Meet one cool Californian couple; Cody, the rock n roll sushi chef and his beautiful wife Van whom I had the pleasure of seeing 5 days running in Hanoi,...

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....
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: I headed out to Halong Bay a few weeks to photograph the very, very intimate wedding of Kat and Jason.
