[wedding] Ha and Chris, The Residence 1 – Miskawaan, Koh Samui, Thailand

I knew I would love working with Chris and Ha as soon as I met them and found out they’re Australian, and my feelings were reinforced on their special day. I love being surrounded by a bunch of Aussies, wedding day or not we’ve got a lot to talk about 😉 Ha was so relaxed spending time with her favorite women all getting ready together, including Chris’s mum, whom Ha helped do her makeup. Chris and the guys were at ease watching sports and having some beers while getting ready. Then they fell into each others arm like naturals, not even taking notice of the camera and just enjoying and savoring the moments together after their ceremony.

Ha and Chris, thank you so much for choosing me to be your wedding photographer in Thailand. I loved every minute of spending your wedding day with you and your families, you were so much fun!

Ha and Chris decided to stay and have their ceremony at the beautiful brand new The Residence 1, of Miskawaan Villas in Maenam. It proved to be the perfect backdrop for these two and their lovely families and close friends to spend the afternoon and night celebrating away.

I couldn’t get over Ha’s amazing choice of flowers for her and her bridesmaids bouquets. I simply fell in love with these huge open orchids.

Ha and Chris chose Natalie of Partners  (who is also a long time friend of theirs) for their planning and decorations, and I have to say I loved every detail as they all came together to represent Ha and Chris’s style; relaxed and laid back, yet fun, classy and beautiful.

It was so easy spending time alone with Ha and Chris during their wedding portraits, I hardly had to tell them to do anything, they are just so in love and couldn’t even stop being cute for one minute 🙂

This beautiful lighting and villa decoration is all organised, coordinated and done by Natalie of Partners, I think she does such an amazing job at making each location look unique and decorating it to her couple’s tastes.

Ha and Chris had a classical guitarist playing the most beautiful music during their dinner and in between speeches, it was such an amazing atmosphere being there 🙂

I’ll end on this note, Ha and Chris kissing under their beautiful firework display. It’s so romantic and I’m sure one of their favorite memories. I hope you both enjoy making more amazing ones like this 🙂
