It seems like ages ago now that I shot Karen & Geoff's intimate wedding at the Conrad Hotel in Koh Samui. We started the weekend with a nice pre-wedding shoot at their hotel the day before, and then the ceremony and dinner the next day. I'll never get get tired of watching the sunset in the background while couples say their vows. Since their wedding, I also did a newborn session for them, which I'll be posting soon.
Over the years I've worked with a lot of fantastic brides and grooms, but I've also got to work with some pretty cool pets too. Is there anything cuter than a chihuahua in a tuxedo?
I couldn't wait to shoot this wedding. We were sitting at a bar below their Hong Kong apartment when Vanessa and Harry described their wedding day to me. It was going to be on a beautiful patch of grass where no one ever goes, surrounded by ocean and trees. Everywhere you look you would find little personal touches, such as flowers, signboards, a polaroid station, colourful sunglasses for all the guests, and much more. The ceremony would start in the late afternoon with the sun just starting to sink, and afterwards as the sun when down there would be games on the lawn, a do-it-yourself gin bar, and time to enjoy the warmth of the day. In the evening there would great food, music, dancing and celebration late into the night. When the day finally came, it was everything I imagined.
