Year: 2011

Arman & Lorraine

December 26, 2011 Weddings

Maybe, most of all.. No one anticipated a wedding more than the bride. And Lorraine is the perfect example that, in a positive way of course. At work, she’s used to handle huge responsibilities and have everything well prepared so it’s not surprising to see everything went so well, while I was perhaps not having my best preparation. I arrived in Jakarta on October 1, 2011, after a pretty long flight from Rome, less than 24 hours before their wedding. From the Airport, I had to go to Studio for a family portrait session for Mr. & Mrs. Gouw. We finished about 7pm, and about 10 hours later, another task awaited. I guess the look of my face is the contrary of Lorraine’s. I was a guy in a need of sleep, while Lorraine were glowing with the most beautiful smiles. Anyway, Arman & Lorraine is another classic match of Kanisius & Ursula couple. Arman is a proud Kanisius graduates, I met him several years ago on a badminton court. He’s very good at badminton, maybe too good. Arman is such a quite guy, while Lorraine is so lively. Together, they complete each other. On this day, they just looked so happy together!

The Gunawan’s

December 26, 2011 Family

A family portrait of Bram and Yanti (our groom and bride, on the left) this time with Yanti’s family. I was told Yanti and her sister are both expecting a baby on January 2012. Such an exciting times for the whole family. Two more baby boys certainly will make Naomi (little girl in the middle) the undisputed princess : ) I wish both sisters well in delivering.

The Johar’s

December 7, 2011 Family

Found this family portrait by coincidence when I browsed my old hard drive just a moment ago. I recalled we shot this in January 2008, and It’s a pleasure to see it’s still hanging at Mr. Johar’s house last year when I got there to shoot Melisa’s wedding. Now both Melisa (on the left) and Melina (on the right) have one child, while Yani (in the middle) has got her PhD at a very young age, so I guess that makes Mr.& Mrs.Johar are two happy, proud parents and grandparents.

Ramses & Shanty (Our Love Story)

December 5, 2011 Pre-Wedding Film

I remembered that day I was in a taxi at Singapore and we’re on the way to a location for portraits shoot. Suddenly an email came from Shanty, it was pretty long but also an interesting story to read, which made the journey to the location felt so short. A week afterward, I got the chance to listen from both of them. Soon I could feel that these two lovers adore each other so much, and also we’re gonna have quite an amazing film should we be able to make one. So here they are and their love story! Ramses and Shanty.

Suryadi & Ivana

November 30, 2011 Pre-Wedding Portrait

When I see Suryadi and Ivana, I see two people who are madly in love. And we certainly enjoy having a good laugh together with them since many of Suryadi jokes were just so hilarious! It was so much fun.

Mr. & Mrs. Gouw {30th Wedding Anniversary}

November 22, 2011 Family

Wedding anniversary is a special occasion. The later it gets, the more special it feels. And I think that’s what Mr. & Mrs. Gouw felt during this photo shoot. Many thanks to Yuli, who arranged the session from Perth. It was very thoughtful of you. Your parents must be very proud! I wish Mr. & Mrs. Gouw many happy days ahead.

October 28, 2011 Travel
