A different taste, a different take, as we were asked to do a “Love at First Sight” theme in this pre-wedding project. So, be sure to “follow the story” by clicking through every pic. ^_^

Also stay tuned for the “regular” pre-wedding photos of the couple, coming right up, ^_^

Temmy, one of the coolest dudes I’ve come to know, got so nervous and tensed that day he forgot how to make his smiling muscles move. ^_^

The bride to be, on the other hand, was surprisingly laid back, and could smile on command. Temmy oh Temmy, there goes your reputation.

Guess what finally got him to smile? (Correction…, BURST into tears of joy!)

Answer: my friend, Mario’s round belly, ^_^

What a nice and super friendly couple! ^_^ Having photographed so many couples, more often than not, fatigue and nervousness would catch up, and a little tension would show. But not Erwin and Erna. ^_^ Erwin is Mr. Cool, Mr. Proper, Mr. Kind. While Erna is Ms. All Smile, Ms. Bubbly and Ms. Hyper Nice. (Soon to be Mrs. Cool though, I thought).

So even though the session broke our previous record of the longest session ever, ^_^ we really felt fulfilled and happy and I immediately was looking forward to the wedding day.

That’s how nice they are, really. ^_^

What makes a good person? Their background? Appearance? Behavior ? Words they utter? Actions they take?

I don’t normally go on a “fun” shooting trip, as the weekly photography projects as they are now, are already taking up so much of my time. But when Ron (one of our all time fave clients, ^_^) asked me to come along on this session, I was in need of a break, so I went.

I was so glad I said yes to Ron. I now know what makes a good person to photographers: a couple that’s (even though you just met) so friendly and nice that you’d have so much fun photographing them.

Andrian and Yuwi: thanks for letting me come along.

I’ll never forget Ron, ^_^ Just the thought of him puts a grin on my face any time. ^_^ The guy insisted that he would choose us as his pre-wedding/wedding photographer if and only if we would teach him photography. Go figure. ^_^

I initially thought, he’d just be another hyped-up guy who just picked up photography, and would leave photography at a drop of a hat. But boy, was I wrong. And I truly was glad to be wrong. ^_^

He was diligent, persistent, critical, and sharp (not to mention damn fun to be around). Go see his facebook page, if you don’t believe me. Look at how far his photographs have come. ^_^

Dude, I’m proud of you. See you at your wedding, ^_^

PS: and what about Diana? Let’s just say: Ron is one damn lucky dude, ^_^

What a rush job! ^_^ We only met Zerin 4 days before the shoot, and didn’t meet Steve until the morning of the session.

I was so worried that I almost turned down the kind job offer. For those who really know me, I love a good and thorough preparation. ^_^ I love getting to know the couple months before the shoot, preparing a suitable concept with them, picking out wardrobes, etc.

I even became more worried when Steve walked out of the car as I saw a very serious and towering figure in him. But thanks to my team, especially Rudy, laughter and off-beat jokes started to fill the atmosphere within 15 mins. ^_^ My worry? Evaporated, ^_^

Don’t believe me? See the pics for yourself. ^_^

People ask me, in the middle of my busy life, why I go through all the trouble, how do I find the energy to be a pre wedding/wedding photographer? Aren’t you tired? Don’t the long hours get old quickly? Aren’t you bored?

If we look around us, love has become a rarity, so difficult to find. Its definition shifted, true love now lives in the heart of so few.

I believe in true love, and I wish this to every one I meet, as it’s a joy everyone should feel, at least once in their lifetime. And that’s why I take these pictures, as I search for true love in the expressions and the moments captured.

Call me foolish, call me crazy, call me anything. But I hope that my pictures can be a constant reminder to everyone to keep searching for, and hanging on to your true love.

Har and Nia, thanks for the moments, ^_^

We all were worried for Yaya (Reza’s nickname), ^_^ We kept telling her that someone as nice and as kind as her did not have to worry at all, that she’d find someone perfect real soon.

For those of you who are friends with Yaya, you can’t help but care for her, as she does for everyone around her. So when you hear that she’s finally getting married, you immediately would want to meet the lucky guy, look him up and down, and hope that he’s right for your dear friend.

As soon as I met Rudy, I was more than relieved, I was ecstatic! ^_^ A gentleman, lost in the midst of today’s world, whose manner would bring any girl to their knees.

Yaya and Rudy – glad to have made you both laugh, glad to have been there for you guys. This is for you. ^_^
