Singapore Wedding Photographer | Ernest + Xin
Singapore Wedding Photographer
Being a Singapore wedding photographer was an absolute dream, a dream which came true.
This story started at the end of 2016 when Ernest emailed me about his plan. He and his girlfriend were going to come to Budapest, to the city they had both visited before and had both liked and Ernest wanted to propose on 1st of January 2017.
We talked about the possible locations and settled on the square in front of Fishermans Bastion. It was a very cold and foggy winter day and the trees were frosty, giving the morning a really magical atmosphere.
They arrived sipping hot coffee, Xin sat down on a bench and Ernest got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. Ernest had another surprise, whilst they prayed together, their families showed up as they had also flown in to celebrate.
Fast forward a couple of months and they were organising their wedding for that summer. So Ernest got in touch with me again, and kindly invited me to document their wedding in Singapore.
We started discussing the possibilities and of course, I was more than happy to fly over to Singapore to meet them again. It’s hard to get to know kinder people than Ernest, Xin and their families.
They insisted that we (me and my family as we went over together) stayed with them in their house during our time in Singapore.
Their warm hospitality was certainly something we will never forget.
The wedding was split up into a few sections. On the wedding day, we started really early at dawn with getting ready, after which Ernest arrived, met Xin and her close family and then we all went to church together.
The most important part of their wedding weekend in Singapore was definitely the church ceremony in St James’ Church where more than 400 guests came to share their happiness.
Ernest and Xin didn’t want to have a full traditional wedding so they organised a dinner for their friends and the next evening a second one for their parents, family and their guests.
This started with a tea ceremony where they both served tea to the family members. This is a formal introduction of the couple to each other’s family and it is about paying respect. We spent a fantastic week in Singapore and got to know many wonderful people in the meantime.
Golden Hour Romance: Pre-Wedding Photography at Kassák Museum
Kassak Museum Pre-Wedding Photography
On a beautiful early spring day in Budapest, I met up with Monika and Tommy, a wonderful Vietnamese couple, to capture their pre-wedding photography ahead of their big day.
As we explored the city, we stumbled upon a hidden courtyard at the Kassák Museum (Kassák Múzeum)—a place filled with character and charm. Grandiose columns, weathered walls, and bare trees created a striking, artistic backdrop, adding a timeless feel to their portraits.
With the golden light of the setting sun casting a soft glow, it was the perfect afternoon. One of the best things about pre-wedding photography is the freedom it allows—no rush, no pressure, just pure connection and time to soak in the moment together.

Razzett L-Abjad Wedding Photography, Malta | Catie & Mikey
The party of the year, starring Catie and Mikey!
Razzett L-Abjad, one of the most stunning wedding venues in Malta, was the perfect setting for both the ceremony and the dinner reception. A recurring theme I absolutely love in the weddings I photograph is that the couples often come from different countries—and this was no exception.
Catie is from Australia, and Mikey is from Sweden. With Catie’s ancestral ties to Malta, they chose this semi-neutral location for their wedding. Their biggest wish? To spend as much time as possible with their friends.
To maximize their time with guests, we decided to capture their couple portraits before the ceremony. Of course, in the Maltese summer heat, that’s not ideal—but a good friend of mine had just purchased a beautifully aged palace in Zejtun and kindly let us use it as a backdrop for their portraits.
Though the palace was dilapidated and filled with antique furniture, its character, charm, and natural light made it a magical setting. Later, the ceremony, dinner, and party all took place outdoors, under a romantic canopy of vine leaves.
The atmosphere was unbelievable—the guests truly brought the energy and joy! In fact, Catie and Mikey chose not to have a wedding cake, as they didn’t want anything to interrupt the celebration. It was a beautiful testament to how incredible it is when two cultures come together to celebrate love, creating a joyful and unforgettable wedding.
After the wedding, Catie and Mikey headed to Gozo for a short honeymoon. One evening, we met up again to capture some timeless wedding portraits by the sea—a perfect way to end their Maltese wedding experience.

Potsdam Wedding Photographer | Johanna + Chris
This wedding in Potsdam was quite a location, but I’ll get to that in a minute.
First, about the couple. He is from Canada. She is from Germany. They met when both they were backpacking through South America. After returning home he said to her mum he would move to Germany. The rest is history as they say.
The getting ready and the wedding ceremony took place in Berlin near where Johanna and Chris live in the traditional looking Standesamt Schmargendorf but for the reception they wanted to find a location close to nature.
They did so near Potsdam by a lake in a restaurant called Landleben. The cocktail hour was outside with beautiful vistas over the lake but later the day they moved indoors for the dinner.
They had a little campfire and they also organised a breakfast get together the morning after. Their aim was to spend as much time as possible with friends and family who flew in for the celebration from several countries.
As I always do, I travelled to the wedding location a full day earlier in order to have time to look around and get familiar with the area and look for potential spots for portraits.
This time I found this particular area of the nearby forest with beautiful pine trees. We had about an hour to roam around the forest before getting back to spend the rest of the evening with all the guests.

Timeless Elegance: A Pre-Wedding Photoshoot Around Budapest Opera House
Pre-Wedding Photoshoot Around Budapest Opera House
Janel and Claus flew in from Hong Kong for their pre-wedding photoshoot around Budapest Opera House, ready to embrace the magic of the city.
We had been exchanging emails for a while before their trip, and what they told me was music to my ears—they had no specific locations in mind. They simply loved my photography style and trusted me to choose the settings that would best capture their love. That kind of creative freedom is always a joy.
A Walk Through the Budapest Opera District
I had a few locations in mind, but as always, the best shoots unfold naturally. We started by wandering around the Budapest Opera House, chasing pockets of golden light and weaving through the elegant streets, all while avoiding the usual crowds.
As we walked, they casually mentioned that their Airbnb was just around the corner and that they really liked the look of the staircase inside. Curious, we decided to check it out—and it turned out to be a hidden gem. The staircase had moody, atmospheric lighting, with soft natural light spilling through the windows, creating the perfect intimate setting for a few portraits.

London Engagement Photography | Sarah + Simon
London has a special place in my heart. I used to live there several years ago when my wife lived there. I was fascinated by the city and I still am. I even published a book about London.
Now I feel lucky because I have weddings and other photo sessions to regularly go back there for. There is just so much opportunity for engagement photography in London.
You can literally get off the tube at any station, start walking in any direction and you will find great spots to explore. This is exactly what we did with Sarah and Simon a couple of days before their wedding in Wimbledon.
We initially started off in St. Dunstan in the East Church Garden which is a gorgeous little hideaway spot not known by many, that offers nice rugged backgrounds and some greenery - then we walked all the way to the South Bank stopping along the way here and there for more portraits.
When I start planning a portrait session I start by discussing potential locations with the couples, locations which have a meaning to them. That I believe is important - I want them to relate to places and things and not only deciding based on prettiness. With time passing by this will create stronger memories.
I'm always keen to return to London so let me know if you're planning a wedding there and let's start a conversation.

Sherbrooke Castle Wedding Photography - Vera & David
The mood, the ever-changing weather and the ever-changing landscape are just a few reasons why I love photographing weddings in Scotland.
This time it was in one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods of Glasgow, Dumbreck where all the houses look like castles, and in the middle of it all, there is the nicest one, the Sherbrooke Castle Hotel.
A wedding venue is nothing without people though. People who love each other, from all over the world come together to celebrate a fine couple, Vera and David. It was the perfect day, ceremony outside, it was great to see everyone so happy.
The following day, in the late afternoon we set out to have a little adventure. This is something I love doing if the couple is up for it, and we have the time for it.
We drove out to the Highlands and wandered around the beautiful scenery of Arrochar and the surrounding area for some more relaxed portraits. We had the Arrochar Alps in the background on one side and Loch Long on the other. Check out their story below!
Dates are limited for the upcoming season so if you are in the process of planning your wedding in Scotland or anywhere else in Europe, do get in touch soon. Till then, I'd love to be your Scotland Wedding Photographer.
