Hoa & Kelly’s wedding happened on a most glorious day back in November. One of a kind couple where they booked me even without seeing me before hand! I was even more impressed when Kelly was recommending us to her friends getting married and putting a good words, all the time without a single meeting with us.

Hoa + Kelly enjoyed dining out together (they are particularly into Thai food), having ice cream at their fave ice cream store in Newtown during summer nights. They confessed that they are quite a boring couple, always visit the same place over and over again (but aren’t we all?), but I can see that they enjoy each other’s company, and that’s what’s important . Hoa flew Kelly down to Melbourne for a romantic holiday and proposed to her there.

They are bound to be best friends for life, and witnessing their emotional garden ceremony was the truest evidence of their feeling for each other, and I’m so glad to be part of their journey!

Hoa & Kelly, it’s been very nice to have known you both. Thank you for being a great couple to us, we wish you a lifetime of happiness!

At this time last year, my beautiful couple Scott & Melissa tied the knot in St Brigid’s Parish, Marrickville, followed by the reception in the elegant Tea Room, QVB.

Just wanting to congratulate them on their first wedding anniversary!! Hope this blog post will relive their memories back to the day they started their life together.

Scott & Melissa’s wedding is still one of my proud works until today – check out their wedding slideshow below! And shared some love if you may…!!

I’ve been spending many hours in the week leading to Christmas writing personalised Christmas postcard to our beloved couples. It’s the first time we produce our own Christmas card, it’s really exciting!! To be honest, the last time I wrote Christmas cards was probably in my uni days. I used to enjoy writing special words to close friends and families. But in the past years, come Christmas, we were just finishing off busy Spring wedding season, exhausted and looking forward to have some normalities back in our schedule. Sometimes that just leaves no room for anything else. Busyness can truly make us forget doing things that matters to us.

But this year we want to make sure we don’t leave out important things in our lives. Well at least for me, Foto Expression has been my life in the past 6 years. We can be what we are now, is truly due to the support of our awesome couples. We hope, by receiving our Xmas postcard, our couples are reminded we appreciate them sincerely for their continued support.

I also would like to extend my gratitude to our team. From our photographers to videographers, our production team, and customer service support team. You guys have been awesome beyond words, working hard and making things happen. For that, we thank you!

As much as we want to send our Christmas postcard to everyone, we apologise if we’re missing out on some people due to incomplete postal addresses. And I hope, for those who didn’t receive the postcard before Christmas day, it will soon arrive.  Here’s the online version

We had a fun night on the Christmas night. We hung out with all of our Foto Expression, the BIG films and Foto Xpress team and their families. Of course they were lucky to taste my delicious ribs
Here’s the behind the scene short movie of our Christmas party at our nest.

Also please check out some fun instant prints that night by Foto Xpress.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR. We hope 2012 can be a blessed year for all of us!

We have super excited news!!

It’s never just about the photography style when it comes to business, but the team is the key for everything. We know it too well based on our experience of building a super awesome team in Sydney. They are not only hard-working and team players in every wedding projects but we also have a great time hanging out. The results speak for itself.

Ilona and I have been traveling to Indonesia to shoot weddings in these past two years. We saw potential to make many couples happy to have their weddings documented with our natural storytelling style. I guess we were fortunate to be able to meet a lot of potential photographers during our speaking engagements with Wiki School Pedia in Indonesia. On that event, we met two different personalities that could fit straight-in to our team. They are Mario and Darmawan.

They know what it takes to be FE. They have been shooting for us since July this year. So this blog is just to officiate that Foto Expression Indonesia is now servicing weddings and pre-weddings in Indonesia. Check out our temporary websites before we have time to revamp the brand new website.

Indonesian couples in Sydney, now you know where to go if you want to combine the pre-wedding and wedding coverage in Sydney and Indonesia

Please come back again soon as we have more news for Foto Expression – Indonesia next year. Don’t forget to give Mario and Darmawan a warm welcome!

Can imagine the excitement writing the blog for Derek and Shirley when I took their wedding photos.I reckon they are the most cheerful and stress free couple that I have ever met. What ever the situation, they always smiling and laughing, which makes me comfortable taking their photos.

Armed with my 2 trusted Nikon cameras and accompanied with Anne Lioe, we started the day by capturing the door game and tea ceremony. Then we moved on to the wedding ceremony that took place in Banjo Paterson Cottage, one of my favourite place for wedding.

This place is quite secluded, far from crowd and sits next to a small bay where you can see small boats around the area. I like how Derek and Shirley arranged small details starting from the guests table allocation chart, tables decoration and not to mention the cupcakes for the wedding cake yeayyy….

I really can feel the couple’s warmth towards the guests as they greeted each guest personally.  No formalities in this wedding such as first dance, they just mingled around and enjoyed the lunch together.  Ended the party with bouquet toss, we strolled down to the waterfront area around the place to take some photos. I consider we are pretty lucky with the blue sky and sunny weather as it was “rainy” season in Sydney. Check out some of the photos that we took, they look absolutely stunning.  Of course thanks to the weather and the newly wed couple

Once again congratulation to Derek and Shirley, may you live happily ever after together.
