Engaged Ichsan & Angel by Vinnie

The year 2020 was definitely an unprecedented one, including for us as creatives in the wedding industry. A lot of effort must be put into actions to ensure our business stays running. But when we put the business perspective aside for a minute, it was also a difficult year for personal relationships.

We think that it’s very important to note that many couples were going through hard times themselves. The pandemic brought around many unexpected changes and total halt to many prewedding or wedding plans. It was a year of anxiety, sadness and uncertainties – understandably so. Afterall, a wedding is one of life’s biggest moments!

But it was also a year where we saw so many couples came out better, stronger and more in love than ever. These are the couples who adapt, improve and overcome. They rearrange plans, take smart decisions, maybe downsize, and make changes here or there. But the point is, they do not let the pandemic define their wedding goals.

Ikhsan and Angel are one of those couples. The bride is our best friend, and with the groom, they’re known as fun, easygoing and very open to new concepts. They are also big fans of photography. All these perfect combinations can only mean one thing : the show must go on!

Their original plan was to travel to India for the prewedding photoshoot. Instead, we went with an oriental theme in Tjong A Fie mansion, one of the most exotic places in town. And as an extra treat, they also had another indoor photoshoot in our studio. The results as can be seen here, are nothing less than extraordinary and hold the same significance, if not more.

So thank you Angel and Ikhsan, for braving on and determining things on your own terms. We’re so proud to have been a part of your journey, which we predict will be a very long, exciting and powerful.

But even more importantly, it was also a year of great unexpected changes for couples anywhere in the world.
