SUNG + MIKE // SINGAPORE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Sung and Mike met while attending NYU, and were friends for years before Mike boldly ventured outside the friendzone and finally asked her out on a date. (Good job, Mike!)

I've known Sung since we worked together in church youth group half-a-lifetime ago. She's told me for years that she expected me to document her wedding someday. I was thrilled when she contacted me last year to say that she was getting married to Mike in his native Singapore.

Sung is a Jersey gal, representing the Korean-American blood -- you'll notice she wore a modern, yet beautifully subdued, take on the traditional Korean hanbok. They had a traditional Singaporean tea ceremony at Mike's family home, in which they presented tea to family elders. Afterwards, they had an intimate Western-style ceremony at the Goodwood Park Hotel, officiated by Sung's brother.

It was an honor to be a witness for them. Thanks for trusting me to tell your story.

ANNIKA + JOSH // WEDDING CINEMA BY RIKY

 


I had my younger brother, Riky, along when I flew to the East Coast last summer for an intimate wedding on Chesapeake Bay.  I'm based in Seoul most of the year, and he works at a production studio in midtown Manhattan.  It was a rare chance for us to work together, and I wasn't about to pass up the opportunity.  I couldn't be more proud of how he's developed as a storyteller and craftsman. Oh, and he's something of a prodigy at 19, and this was his first wedding video.
