Jakarta loves Manila Welly-much!

We are very thankful of Google as this was the means of how this once soon-to-be-bride-and-now –a-bride, Redge found us in New Zealand. It was most flattering, as she narrated, how she immediately made a long-distance phonecall to her fiance’ in Jakarta, Meeko after seeing our website and said “I think I have found our photographers!” after browsing through all the websites of almost all the photographers in Jakarta, Indonesia. They were so thankful to have found us. Little did they know, we were more than grateful and maybe even more thankful to have worked with a couple like them.

We first met the couple in our office in Setiabudi, (a.k.a Starbucks) and it was really moving what they said when we asked them what they’d want as a theme for their pre-wedding pictorial. “We want every shot to show our personality as a couple.” They both agreed. The soon-to-be bride didn’t want long gowns, the soon-to-be groom didn’t want to wear suit with neckties and the like. And we would have to say the photos revealed how they are as a couple — very fun to be with, easy to get along with, very spontaneous and very in love.

They are different from each other. Meeko, an Industrial Designer is the adventurous type who would climb mountains wearing a backpack; Redge, a Pre-school teacher is the sophisticated type who enjoys shopping with her LV bag. It was like: “The Adventurer Meets the Shopaholic”. But their differences, they celebrated and they believe, after more than 5 years of being together, that these differences brought them to where they are now.

The pictures you are about to see display the love that we can say “has conquered all” after hearing their love story and spending time with them. Redge, as we call her, is from Manila, Philippines and Meeko, from Jakarta, Indonesia. Their paths crossed in a windy town called Wellington (Welly) in New Zealand where Meeko finished his degree and where Redge has been living for the last 8 years. Redge has counted, on the day of the wedding, they have known each other for 1,905 days already :).

It has been a rewarding experience, having this couple who never failed to make us feel how much our works are loved and our efforts, appreciated. More than their photographers, we were treated as their friends. More than our clients, they are our #1 fans.

As Redge said, “we paid not to have photos, we paid to have memories we can forever keep.”

Two words to describe this couple: “They Match!”

We know that’s our first long description, but we love to do that, now enjoy the photos :))
