As part of the wedding gift, I gave the newlyweds a sky latern as a celebration of their love. I asked everyone to write down their blessings and surprised them after the dinner reception. It was such a revelation to see them launch their beacon of light into the sea of darkness. It was heartfelt knowing that they’ll always be each other’s guiding light even in pitch black, they’ll always be each other’s true north in stormy days ♥

It was monsoon season when we arrived in Samui, it rained most nights but we were able to see some sunshine in the morning with clear blue sky. Miraculously, the sky was clear for the entirety of the wedding ceremony and evening celebration. It was one of those gracious elegant beach wedding that you see in movies. It was small, intimate and incredibly touching seeing the bride walking down the isles and watching them exchange vows and wedding rings. It was really heartwarming when they said their own vows, invincible was the word they used to describe their love and also the engraving on their rings… it was really sweet…
Watching the wedding from a photographer’s point of view, I was able to witness the purity of emotions up close. I was standing under the tent with them when they hugged their parents and when the pastor said, “You may kiss the bride”. I felt my eyes well up with tears unsure why I was so overwhelmed by all this. This wasn’t the first wedding I’ve been to, but it was the first time that the vows threw me off guard. The words were everything and meant everything.

Oh dear, I finally have the time to sort through the wedding photos after getting them back from developing. This is my very first destination wedding and it was just as much fun photographing as I enjoyed the summer beach wedding.
It was such a great honor to be a part of this love celebration. We flew to Koh Samui which is a beautiful island in Thailand which made the shoot effortless in trying to make it picturesque.
This was my first attempt to shoot the wedding in film. It’s much more unpredictable but I sure do love the grain and texture. I’ve posted three of my favorite and will post more of the pre-engagement photos as well a the wedding ceremony which embarrassingly made the photographer (me..) cry. I am a sucker for witnessing real love; it’s not something we are lucky enough to witness very often anymore.
Hope you like the photos :)

It’s now day three into the revolution and the cruel cold wind coming into London isn’t helping; nevertheless, the spirit is still going strong. It’s the wake up call that we CAN do something about it, just like how I am photographing the event and posting them on facebook, flickr and blogging about it. We are trying to raise awareness that our message is clear, we want the current economic injustice system to be abolished and to be replaced by a more fair economic system with better distribution of wealth.
We won’t give up, not until our voice is heard.
It’s our revolution.
It’s our time.
Hello everyone, I am back from my trip and before I post my travel photos and travelogue, I wish to post this more recent global event that’s been getting my attention.
I attended the Occupy London last Saturday which took place at St. Paul’s Cathedral of more than 3000 people participated. This is a global event now happening in more than 900+ cities.
I think the message is clear, this is not a political protest but a protest that reflects on an overdue social justice. I feel that this is a generation of indifference because we feel that nothing we do will make a difference so we choose to be silent. But now we have an opportunity to make a difference. Together, we are the 99% so have your say in this!
