Getting ready

11:00 am - 1:00 pm

This photoshoot drew inspiration from the 2007 film "Across The Universe," which Aundrea selected as part of her elopement inspiration. The movie features a nostalgic atmosphere, characterized by teal hues in the highlights of its imagery.

Getting ready

Instead of opting for posed and formal shots for the “getting ready” photos, Aundrea and Colin decided to capture their daily morning routine for the shoot. They also added a fun pillow fight to inject some drama and playfulness into the photos.

These small, intimate moments of a couple’s daily life are rarely captured by a camera, but they reveal who they are as a couple and the depth and individuality of their love.

THE Street running

1:00 pm - 1:30 pm

This photoshoot was inspired by the films of Studio Ghibli's Hayao Miyazaki, where vibrant red accents and floating objects are recurring themes. Aundrea and Colin share a love for anime, and Colin speaks Japanese, having spent some time living in Japan.

THE Street running

I suggested the concept of running through the streets with jumbo red balloons, while they were wrapped in winter comforters. Initially, I was concerned that the idea might be too bold for a wedding day. However, upon presenting the concept to Aundrea, she enthusiastically responded, "Absolutely, a million yes!"

THE Ceremony

3:30 pm - 4:30 pm

Another movie that Aundrea chose is The Fountain (2006). Reminiscent of the film's iconic use of light and color, this shoot features a brown and moody tone, rendered with warm and golden hues. The venue itself—a park cloaked in natural beauty—mirrored the mystical gardens from the film, providing an intimate stage for their vows

Candid street photoshoot at Georgetown

4:30 Pm - 7:00 pm

Aundrea also has the movie Blade Runner 2049 on her list. The final part of the day was a shoot in the streets of Georgetown during and after the blue hour.

As twilight descended, Georgetown's streets transformed into a vibrant, almost otherworldly backdrop—bathed in deep blues and electric splashes of light. This setting created a perfect stage for Aundrea and Colin’s special day, enveloping them in a cinematic ambiance that echoed the visual splendor of Blade Runner 2049.
