In the business of photography, especially in wedding photography, you really have to make an effort to not become too close of friends with your clients. After all, you have a business to run and it’s always best to stay objective. With this project, however, that’s becoming increasingly difficult, and I sort of threw that rule out the window when I met Johnny and Ariff.

They were the first couple to sign up for the project. Two weeks earlier, I was having a nervous breakdown, because I thought that everyone either thought I was a crap photographer or a scam artist or both. But the guys came along and assured me that they liked the project and my work, and even baked me a tart to prove it to me.

I could go on and on about how stylish and elegant the ceremony and reception were, but I think you can see that for yourself in the photos. The lads put in so much work over the past few months to make the day absolutely perfect. I haven’t even seen some brides put in the effort that these two have, but it totally paid off.
