Wedding | Berlin | Germany: Andrea & Arne


Wedding: Babs & Miles

What with all the craziness of moving countries I didn't post anything about this fantastic wedding I had the pleasure to photograph in Bali, Indonesia, right before I left for Germany.

Babs and Miles are not your average couple. They hired out the beautiful Mahatma House in Seseh, and threw the most colourful, fun ceremony you can imagine. After the beautifully non-traditional ceremony and some extremely entertaining speeches, the wedding party released lanterns on the beach, and then partied, fully-clothed, in the pool.


Wedding: Stephanie + Liam

Stephanie and Liam got married in a very intimate ceremony on board a private boat in Halong Bay. When we set off from the harbour it was overcast and drizzling, and the forecast was for the weather to stay that way. The ceremony was scheduled to take place in the tiny dining room if it didn't clear up but, fortunately, the sun came out and hoovered up all the clouds just in time for the couple and their friends to celebrate on the sundeck.

Many thanks to Stephanie and Liam for having me there to document their special day (and for letting me lightpaint them), and all the best for the future. Thanks also to Bhaya Cruises for the smooth sailing, and to the lovely folk at WedinStyle for taking me along, and for jetting me out of the bay in a speedboat.

Wedding: Adam & Serena

The Oriental Mandarin Dhara Devi is an amazing place for a wedding. Set in 60 acres in Chiang Mai, it's all spires, wood and ancient stone. It contains two full areas of rice paddy and has the gentlest morning alarm - a man on a white buffalo plays a flute whose notes float across the rice fields and into your sleeping ears.

Adam and Serena had an open-air wedding ceremony on the main terrace, followed by a traditional Thai tea ceremony. In the evening, Thai dancers entertained the wedding party between dinner courses.

Many thanks to Aidan for flying me over there to help with the photography. And congratulations to Adam and Serena and their families. Thanks to them also for the Flaming Lamborghini which topped the night off!

Wedding: Thuy & Matthew

Thuy and Matthew had a traditional Vietnamese wedding at Thuy's family home in Danang. It was a full house as everyone watched them exchange rings before both sides of the family give gifts of money and jewellery to the couple. This was followed by a reception at the huge For You Palace on the outskirts of the city where there were speeches and some awesome (perhaps impromptu) karaoke performances. Many thanks to Aidan from Eden Images for putting Thuy and Matthew in touch with me.

Wedding: Melissa & Ou Wen

Melissa and Ou Wen's wedding took place on a Bhaya Cruises junk in Halong Bay. They had a lovely, intimate ceremony on the top deck at dusk surrounded by their families and closest friends. Many thanks again to Mai from WedinStyle for putting Melissa and Ou Wen in touch with me.

Webite Redesigned

The moment it hath arrived - my newly designed website is up and running. It is more handsome, lighter and sleeker than the last effort, probably...definitely because I didn't build it this time. Many many thanks to my friend Shane Fleming at Web Wunderland who put in a lot of time making sure it looked exactly as I wanted. Check it oot here.



Wedding: Jason & Diane

Jason and Diane took a 40-strong group of their relatives and friends on a cruise aboard a luxury Bhaya Junk in Halong Bay for their wedding celebrations. After the evening's religious ceremony on the sun deck everyone had dinner and frequently, and very loudly, toasted the bride and groom. Then, lanterns inscribed with wishes for the couple were lit and floated off into the night sky, and everyone danced til the wee hours.


Halong Wedding Preview: Preparations

I'll be posting some pictures of the wedding in the near future - once the bride and groom have had their dinner and slideshow - but until then here are some shots from the preparations aboard the Bhaya Cruises Junk prior to the ceremony.
