Nelly + Sherman | Bali Engagement Photo Session

Client: Nelly Poon + Sherman Choi

Locations : Courtyard by Marriott Nusa Dua and Legian Beach

Destination : Bali, Indonesia

Sweats were dripping from the foreheads of a couple Nelly and Sherman, yet the photo session has just started few minutes ago. The weather in Bali has been very hot lately more than any other day. For a few times this couple from Hongkong wiped off their foreheads to keep the sweats from dripping.

Nelly told me, she knew me from one of her friends that I had taken the pictures of before, as they happened to have prewedding photo session in Bali as well. It was really nice to know and hear what she told me about this recommendation, a continuous reference from one friend to another made me feel so glad. Nelly looked very beautiful wearing a knee-length dress, with additional thin fabric as its tail, it was very unique yet lovely dress. Her hair was straightly brushed down, and would flair as it was blown by the wind. Meanwhile Sherman looked very handsome with white long sleeve shirt matched with long trousers, they indeed were lovely couple. I let them free to do what they like to do, without too many pose directions from me. This way the couple seemed to be so comfortable and relaxed in expressing their love that I had chances to capture many candid moments from their body language that was shown. Love is beautiful. I was hoping that they would hire me to capture their wedding moments but what a pity that they had hired a photographer in Hongkong, it was where they held the wedding. I once asked them whether if they would have their honeymoon in Bali after the wedding is being held, they said, they would have the honeymoon in another country. I wish them a happy wedding and may love unite them always.

Valery's Maternity Session in Nadi Nature Resort Tabanan

Nestled amidst lush greenery and the gentle embrace of nature, Nadi Nature Resort provided the perfect backdrop for Valery’s maternity photoshoot. This serene oasis in Bali offered more than just stunning scenery, it embodied tranquility and a connection to the earth, making it ideal for celebrating the beauty of impending motherhood. Nadi Nature Resort was the perfect location Valery had envisioned for her session. She had always dreamed of a forest inspired concept, and this venue brought that vision to life in the most breathtaking way. From the first click of the camera, Valery’s radiant joy was undeniable. The gentle rustle of leaves and the soothing sounds of nature complemented the session, allowing Valery to relax and fully immerse herself in the moment. Her connection with her unborn child was palpable, and it was an honor to document such an intimate and transformative chapter in her life. As a photographer, moments like these remind me of the magic in storytelling through im...

Serunya Sesi Foto Keluarga Liburan di Intercontinental Jimbaran Bali

Pada tahun yang lalu saya memotret Flora saat dia hamil besar di Condrad Bali bersama sang suami, silakan lihat foto hamilnya disini . Kini mereka liburan lagi ke Bali, terbang dari Singapura setelah anak mereka lahir, sesi foto sore yang sangat seru dan tak terlupakan di Intercontinental Bali. Semuanya serba pertama untuk Lion, pertama terbang keluar negeri, pertama kali menginjak rumput, pertama kalinya ke pantai dan bermain air laut dan pasir. Sepanjang sesi foto tak henti-hentinya dia tersenyum, tertawa dan memperlihatkan kesenangan terutama saat bermain dengan pasir dan air laut. Sungguh sangat menyenangkan mengabadikan saat-saat indah keluarga kecil ini. Wajah-wajah bahagia terpancar mengalahkan cantiknya cahaya senja kala itu, seolah tak ada lagi manusia lain yang lebih bahagia dari mereka, Flora dan Patrick terlihat sangat menikmati saat-saat yang luar biasa memesona ini. Anak memang adalah salah satu karunia terindah yang Tuhan berikan kepada manusia.

Capturing Precious Memories: Personal Family Trip Photography in Hong Kong

It has always been a joy to photograph Fadli, Sandy, and their twins! Once again, I had the honor of being their personal photographer, capturing their family vacation, this time, a nostalgic journey back to Hong Kong. This trip was especially meaningful for Fadli and Sandy as it marked a nostalgic return to the city where they tied the knot. Despite a rocky start with a typhoon disrupting the first three days, their spirits remained high, and we made the most of every moment. On the fourth day, the weather cleared, and we headed to Cotton Tree Drive Marriage Registry. This was a special location for the couple, as it was where they said "I do." Recreating their wedding photos was not only a fun throwback but also a beautiful way to celebrate their journey as a family. The highlight for their kids was visiting Disneyland and Legoland. Their joy and love radiated in every frame, reminding us how precious it is to revisit meaningful milestones. Although the typhoon limited ou...
