Japan is like a whole different world..at a higher level from the ordinary world we live in. The people, the culture, the food, the technology, the landscapes, everything is so impressive. It is like we are travelling to the future. It is so modern, yet so conservative at the same time. What was so impactful for us is the fact that the whole country gives off such a serene vibe, which we strongly felt when we were there. It was like a perfect and peaceful hiding place to escape from our reality.

14 days in Japan went by so fast. The next time we go there, we’ll make sure to leave our work at home so we can focus more on relaxing and enjoying our time. We’ll see you in a different season, Japan!

It was spring 2017, and it was our first time visiting Japan. The main reason we came to Japan was for clients’ pre-wedding photoshoot, but we extended our trip for a little bit of travelling too. We were so excited when planning the trip. We got all curious about this particular country because people around us kept saying about how amazing it is to be there. There was no single negative review about Japan that we heard from our friends who have been there. Some of them even got addicted to keep visiting and we didn’t get why..at first. But now we clearly understand why.

Maggie + Michael (Melbourne)

// Melbourne Destination Prewedding //

Photographer: Andre

Fern forest, checked. Winery, checked. City stroll, checked. Lighthouse, beach cliffs, sand dunes, checked. Prewedding of Maggie and Michael is the epitome of what Melbourne is all about.

Maggie and Michael flew from Hongkong to Melbourne for a 2-day prewedding shoot with us. This was the first visit for them, therefore we wanted to go the extra mile to show things in and around our most beloved city so they can have a great wholesome experience. Since the planning stage we were already so thankful for Maggie and Michael who were being so open to our ideas, especially for the ‘newlywed couple stroll in the city’ concept. It was a nice feeling when your couple were appreciative and as excited as we were when doing the shoot.

The most memorable moment was when we reached the sand dunes after a long drive and a lot of walking. All of us were so hyped when our toes touched the soft white sands. We hopped here and there, running around like kids, losing the track of time. After that, we were literally chasing the sunset driving to Squeaky Beach, which also marked the end of our 2-day shoot.
