Their wedding is definitely one of the high notes of over-achievement year in 2010 (I will blog separately what I have achieved last year).

I say that it’s definitely nothing to do because of their beautiful photo or video. However, it’s simply that this is the wedding that makes me to pursue to shoot more weddings like this in the near future.

I love everything about this wedding. The feeling was so mutual that I fought everything I had and they wanted me to be part of their something special.

I will talk more about them in the next post. In the mean time, I will talk more about the process of the making this following movie. The following movie was a same day edit video that we presented at their reception – Tirta Uluwatu. I told you it’s a lot of works as Marcel Gunawan(Foto Expression cinematographer) and I slept much less the night before at the wedding because we needed to prepare some footage we shot . It’s difficult because this was a bit of surprise that Ken and Celine were not aware about what this video was about before the presentation. So we needed to sneak out of doing all of this. The reception from this presentation was unbelievable. I just couldn’t remember how many people hugged me because of this presentation

The wedding took place in Bali, Indonesia. But the process of making the video was when before I flied from Sydney. I filmed some people who were unable to attend their wedding to say what they think about them. Have you ever judged the couple of how they were so lucky to be together? I wanted to make this video so personal and gives the feeling as their best friends are doing it for them. Well, that’s how we came up with the idea in this video.

Why I love their wedding so much? It’s because their wedding filled with friends and families come together from different place to celebrate their wedding. And my team and I are ones of the guests. Again, the message of what we wanted to show here is PERSONAL. I hope we’ve delivered that.

If you watch this video and feel that sometimes looks like a home video (non-professional works), that’s our intention. In my idea, that’s why the video was made imperfect but I hope it’s perfect for them. That’s what I think about wedding video should be. Something is not cheesy but it’s about moment that the couple can treasure for the rest of their lives because they could see themselves in there.

Call me biased, Ken and Celine are my new good friends whom I knew them since this beginning of the year when Ken joined my special elite group in Foto Expression. Why I want more to shoot about this wedding? I wanted to shoot every wedding as if I am their close friends. The result is darn personal that makes me cried and proud of what I have done in this life.

So enjoy and tell me what you think why their wedding deserves to be my wedding of the year in 2010.
