Yippee to the first blog of 2014!!! And to start the year off I’m WAAAYY behind, haha. Nancy and Shawn, I’m so sorry! Better late than never is what they say, so I’m happy to finally be showcasing your gorgeous images.. 😉 Nancy and Shawn visited Samui for the last stopover of their adventurous and romantic honeymoon. Nancy decided she wanted some photos to capture some memories from her and Shawn’s amazing honeymoon and contacted me spontaneously, fingers crossed.   When I met her, Nancy told me she hadn’t planned on having photographs taken and being a lover of photography herself, she just felt that it should happen and contacted me in secret without telling Shawn. 😉 (That’s the best way to do it, girll.) They met at school in Xinzheng where Nancy teaches at high school and Shawn the corresponding university. Three years of dating later and they were pronounced husband & wife. The photographs are taken on Chaweng Beach. We had an amazing time together watching the sunrise and laughing, and I can’t have imagined a better way to spend an early morning!   I love Nancy’s dress that she decided to wear! I love the colours of her tie

Jessica and Steven married in Hong Kong in style with 300+ guests… and I know this because I’ve seen some of their gorgeous wedding photos! They chose Samui as their honeymoon destination, and it turned out to be the perfect place to wind down and relax. We were up early morning for their gorgeous sunrise photography session on Chaweng beach, where the sun rises just right… over the water and kissing everything it touches softly as it goes. We laughed, and had some great fun during the session as we had already met at Mini Bar the days they arrived.  We met in the early hours of the morning at Sareeraya and started by taking a walk down the beach together… I love that Jess brought some of the props from their wedding with her! What a cute touch to add the their photographs! I love that Jess’s ‘J’ has a veil! How cute!! How beautiful is Jess?? Seriously, this lady is stunning 🙂 Chaweng Beach in the morning is beautiful, and nice and quiet, perfect for a walk a long the beach.  Haha, Jess later told me Steven isn’t an early riser! Well neither am I haha, I think

When Natalie told me she was working on a wedding proposal for a lucky lady I could hardly contain my excitement… Now contrary to most clients, I didn’t get to have any initial prior contact with Rafael, or Brina as they were both in Spain and Rafael had a hard time multitasking between planning the proposal in Samui and keeping it a surprise from Brina! On the evening of the big surprise Natalie, Ad and I all huddled up at the Hansar bar… and I must admit the adrenaline made me feel like I was a spy… Especially when Brina and Rafael arrived early and got a drink at the bar right opposite us before they went to sit down at dinner! haha 😉 I got some photographs of the beautiful setup Natalie and Rafael had prepared… gorgeous roses and orchids everywhere, candles on the table and in the sand, torches to light the way… What girl would not squeal at the sweetness of it… 🙂 I loved these candles in the sand… such a simple touch but it made their ‘dinner’ all the more special 🙂 How beautiful is the setup… Brina told me after the proposal that the

Rita and Steven played together as children without knowing they were destined to be together… Rita giggled as she told me her side of the story (and there’s always two sides!). These two could not be more perfect for each other and show it in the most adorable ways. The first time we met, I watched as Rita pulled medicine she’d packed in her handbag to make sure Steven’s cold symptoms didn’t get the better of him, and the way Steven looks at her when she’d being herself and having fun is just too cute! Thank you so much for choosing me as your honeymoon photographer in Thailand! I had an absolute ball photographing you two and getting to know you both! We started bright and early for Rita and Steven’s sunrise honeymoon photography, and headed to Chaweng Beach to begin with. Rita’s soft pink dress (one of her bridesmaid’s dresses, I love how she found another use for it!) swirled in the wind as they walked hand in hand watching the sun start to rise up over the water. Slight waves rolled in gently towards as, and we all knew we’d picked a good day. Here; I’ll the the

We planned to meet at Crystal Bay resort and go from there. Laura sent me a message worried about the weather, and we decided to just go with it, and I’m so happy we did! Take a look at how gorgeous these photos & the weather turned out!  Richard first saw Laura in Top Man while shopping and ended up buying something just to get to talk to her. Later that night at the pub, he was being introduced by mutual friends to her and her boyfriend at the time. Apparently there was a lot of Facebook stalking for some crazy amount of time, and in the end it was ‘Rich’ (as Laura loves to call him) sending her a Facebook message asking if she was still dating anyone that sealed the deal of their first date. Now Laura and I actually have a great talent in common… clumsiness, and yes, I say it’s a talent as it’s very useful to entertain people when they need a laugh! Which is exactly how she helped calm the nerves of their first date… slipping and spilling hot chocolate all over herself and the floor! I love that as I’ve given up trying

My friend, K. Dudy at Centara Grand contacted me saying she’d referred me to a couple of her guests staying at Centara Villas Samui, at first I thought it might have been a different kind of photography to what I specialised in. So when Olga texted me I was happily surprised to read that her and Artem were on their honeymoon 🙂  I so enjoyed getting to know you both, and even in such a short amount of time I feel like we’ve become friends! They met while studying on exchange in England and found out there, in another country, that they were attending the same university back in Russia. The details of their story are safe in their hearts and even to outsiders, it’s clear that they fell in love there. She talks about him and giggles and you can just tell how head over heels she still is, seven years later, having just married the man of her dreams. Thank you both so much for choosing me as your photographer in Thailand, I enjoyed every minute I spent with you two! Here’s to a marriage that’s even happier than your honeymoon! xx We started with some photographs in
