Earlier this month, I went to Australia for a very short time. The trip was definitely one of my memorable experience. In 3 straight days, I shot 3 couples in 3 different cities.

Arrived in Sydney in the morning, then I catched the next flight to Melbourne, which 30 minutes away from my arrival in Sydney.

The first city that I visited was Melbourne. The weather in Melbourne wasn’t too friendly for us. Drizzling all day during our session. It was windy and so cold, remembering me coming from Jakarta.

We started the session right away. Short session on the alleys for about 45 minutes. Grabbed some lunch then continue with our session in several places until around 7P.M

I was in Melbourne for only few hours, because I need to catched up a flight to fly back to Sydney that night. I wish I had more time to spend there, explore the city more, and taste some more good food! (thanks Janssen + Emilia, I definitely will come back to that Japanese restaurant)

Big thanks to Janssen and Emilia, who were very cooperative during the session.

This could be the first of the BIG films project in Indonesia.

It’s definitely a complete different game from what we normally shot weddings in Australia. Based on this first experience, we felt Indonesian wedding was much slower pace than what’s in Australia. There were more people involved in every event, it makes harder to shoot the story to flow naturally. It’s definitely quite a challenge to create something heartfelt and yet fun at the same time.

But when we edited them, we still believe the BIG films can definitely bring a new fresh air in Indonesia wedding cinematography. Please check it out! We hope it still does the justice.

Yes, we are available in Jakarta and other cities in Indonesia for wedding commission. I have been busy training them and they are ready to rock Indonesia.

In this project, I personally big thank you to my friend from WIMO, Dimar who helped shooting on the day. Thanks bro. I owe you one!

This is a same day edit presentation of a weekdays wedding of Dino and Vandra that took place in beautiful Ballarat Park overlooking Pyrmont Bay.

Vandra’s sister, Thiary, is actually a good friend of mine and was good to have a catch up with her during this wedding. However Dino and Vandra found us through Google.

Besides the beautiful locations, the decorations, and the people, I quite like how they organised the day such as having locations very close to each other and yes it is walking distance only. This definitely eliminated the stress of logistic on the day.

As always I had so much fun working with our own Joan Efrata, please also check his work for Dino and Vandra prewedding.

Enjoy!

Here is the same day edit video presented at the reception (there was a slight change on the original version).

I think by now this couple is not a stranger anymore after they have been featured in our prewedding portraiture by Joan and by Wiki Lee.

The highlight of the wedding was definitely Danny’s body. One thing we heard a lot during the reception was “take the shirt off, Danny”. It was a fun day, no doubt.

Also, please do visit the super fun photo booth by our team from Foto Xpress.
