One of the things that we are really grateful of as photographers is that we are blessed with couples who are unique in their own ways and it excites us to be able to display their uniqueness through our photographs.

Here’s another couple who are from two different parts of the world–one form above the equator and from below who met and got married because they were destined to. Our groom, Norman Sukardi who is half Indonesian and half German based in Indonesia. Our bride, Felicity Pascoe who is an Australian. And we feel like we became their photographers because we were also destined to be. It is all but part of the master plan (or so we believe).

They had their wedding following Sundanese tradition. It kicked off with a “siraman” (like a bridal shower), and on the next day an “akad-nikah” (the holy matrimony). “Mas kawin” (the offering) from the husband (to-be) was a mountain bike as Felicity likes mountain biking so much (to bad they don’t bring the bicycle to the ceremony :)) and then the wedding itself which ended up with a pool party. Fun!.

The wedding was held in Rumah Maroko, one of the coolest places (for us) in Jakarta. Most of the couple’s family from around the world was there to witness their union. It was amazing how you see people from different cultures come together to share a day that may be the most memorable for the couple. And we were blessed to have been part of this all.

Oh, and we just have to say this. It never ceases to amaze us seeing citizens of other countries wearing kebaya. It is just overwhelming and yes, in a shorter term: cute! We love, love, love it!

Finally!!!

Its been a month since our last post, now our blog shows bigger size photo than before. We hope you guys will like it, and stay tune for a lot of update!!!

Bellow is Airin and Setiadi Wedding day photos. We met Airin about six months before their wedding day. Since our first meeting, Airin already decided to trust us as her wedding photographer, although Setiadi were not present at that time :). The chemistry between THEUPPERMOST and Airin were so strong :).

The wedding was held on 21st of March 2009. It was very intimate, full of closest friends and family to celebrate their holy matrimony and reception. The holy matrimony really shows how both bride and groom really love each other. And each traditional ceremony they completed with close relatives.

We really “heart” this couple, and we are proud to say that their precious and of course, once in a life time, moment was beautifully captured. Through our lens we defined their love.

And the stories continue…

“Love at First Sight”. Maybe not everyone will say it does happen but here are two people who can vouch that it can. David and Sisca first met in a gym and everything followed and grew from there. After a year and a half of being together, here they are now, featured in our blog as husband and wife on their wedding day.

They seem to be born for each other…or so we believe. Sisca is a model who is used to facing cameras and David, just like us, a photographer, who’s used to holding a camera (except that he holds a Canon, and we a Nikon ;)) It was like everything was destined to happen the day they met in the gym.

As we always do, we enjoyed taking their photos for the very reason that we can feel their emotions for each other each time we press the shutter. The pictures, we believe, no matter how good a photographer is, would be dull if there is no chemistry between two subjects. And the chemistry was really strong between these two. The photos below will reveal this.

It has been yet another heart-warming experience for us to be chosen to be their photographers. We are most flattered that eventhough David’s gadgets are far better than ours, we were the “chosen one” so it is with great honour to present to you the once, Susanne Fransisca Widjaja and David Manansang and now, Mr and Mrs David Manansang.

Enjoy the photos from the engagement to the family gathering to the rehearsal to the wedding day itself and even to the day after the wedding when the couple along with families and some friends went to Villa Sangkara, Cangu, Bali… and just like us, you will also fall in love…

Love… love… love…

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 :))

Hi Everyone! Time for new post, sorry for waiting

Once upon a time, a single would-be Doctor met another single would-be Doctor and fell in love. After a few years of courtship, they decided to spend the rest of their life together. Johan and Riri started to ‘shop’ for a photographer to record this happy moment. They found THEUPPERMOST through google (thanks, google!) and fell in love with us. There was when our relationship with this cute couple began.

Both doctors were so natural in front of the cameras. They are so in-sync with each other that it was a breeze to capture their love through our cameras. It was such a relaxed, easy session that they could still manage to give us pointers on living a healthy lifestyles throughout the session. Pointers that certainly would leave no impacts on our current bizarre lifestyles…hahaha…

Regina just make a note on her FB, tag me, and I cry like a river :D, and I think it’s worth to share it on our blog :D. We love you Redg & Meek!!!

It was a great session, with great make up artist (Dybie Natalia) and fabulous model (Fo). Fo has nearly perfect skin, so we were not having difficulties to make these beautiful shots, and not to mention she is very beautiful also. Dybie’s make up is great too, simple but yet beautiful. Eight strobe flash are involved in these shots.
