Sarah & Samuel

Last Fall, Sarah reached out to me about her upcoming wedding in April. Despite my initial uncertainty about taking on new weddings, Sarah’s persistence was a delightful surprise. Hailing from Singapore, a neighboring country to my own Indonesia, Sarah shared her background with me during our initial communication. We arranged a Google meeting since they were both residing in DC at the time.

During our virtual meet-up, Sarah expressed her early stages of wedding planning, and while I didn’t want to set my hopes too high, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement. Imagine my delight when I received an email from them expressing their desire to collaborate with me!

Sarah’s vision for her wedding day resonated deeply with me. She admired my vibrant, colorful editing style, emphasizing a preference for natural moments over material things. This philosophy truly spoke to me.

On the day of their wedding, Sarah’s choice became abundantly clear. The celebration was not about lavish decor or extravagant details; it was about the people who filled the space with joy and love. Their wedding gallery, a testament to this ethos, showcased guests from around the globe who had gathered to celebrate Sarah and Samuel’s union.

Sarah and Samuel, thank you for entrusting me with the task of capturing your special day. I am immensely grateful that you reached out, and it was an absolute pleasure to be part of your celebration. We had a blast photographing every moment of your unforgettable day.
