Oh My Gosh, I'm so excited to tell you guys that this time my client is my own friend! This lady, Siti, was my partner when we both worked at a school few years ago. The photo session was just done today, and it was sooooooo amazing! Actually she had already told me since last month that she and her fiance wanted to have a photo session with me, but that time i was still out town in Semarang. I'm just so glad that she asked me to capture her and her fiance, and it's really an honor for me! They're going to get married next month, which is a great great news! I'm so happy for her!
I just got a change to meet my friend's fiance today, and he's really a friendly guy, a quiet one, adorable, sweet, and a perfect man for my friend! The photo shoot brought me and my friend back to our memory where we used to take lots of pictures wherever we were, lol.. can't be joking! We both loved snapping photos!
I decided to find a silent location so it would be more comfortable having the shoot. And this place was the answer! A lovely place with a beautiful perspective of a train rail!
She was so happy! So was he!
I can't wait until their wedding to come!
I wanna wish them a happy long journey as a husband and wife, with full full of love!
I had a photo session with this great family from Sentul, Citereup- West Java. They're an amazing family and easy to work with... very cooperative! Although it happened to rain with a hard blowing wind in the middle of our session, we could still manage ourselves to keep in a good mood, it was actually funny that we ran as fast as we could and got back to their house, but the rain stopped right after we arrived the door,lol.. and that what made everybody laughed and cheered!
I really love this family! From the husband, wife and the daughters, they're so fantastic! They're so natural in posing and their happiness was so glowing through their faces :)
Let's check out their photos now!
