Hann + Joseph Wedding in Bali

My last wedding of 2008 was graced by Hann & Joseph in beautiful Bali. They were married high up on a cliff side chapel in Southern Bali overlooking the Indian Ocean. This venue was superb for a few reasons: the view and the exceptional privacy of the location. Hann and Joseph are the couple that I adore. They are so relax and unassuming, making my job so much easier.

The two-day fete started on Friday, when guests checked into their villas. By day, everyone had plenty to do, such as exploring the Tanah Lot sunset or enjoying relaxing spa massages by the beaches. On Saturday morning, the group headed to Uluwatu for the church ceremony at the gorgeous Tirtha Uluwatu Chapel, facing the Indian Ocean.

The reception was held at the Breeze Restaurant with the the most gorgeous view of sunset in Bali. Editing these pictures over the last few days has made it hard to resist to book next plane to Bali, I’ll be back very soon!

Joseph and Hann - Your pictures broke through the last threads of realism we have been holding on to for this wedding. Thank you for capturing these surreal and magical moments for us to look back on many years down the road. And *quote bel*, when our “ding dangs/dongs are hanging on the floor”, we will remember this day fondly with misty eyes while looking through these beautiful pictures. No other photographer would have captured our moments better than you. Thanks for sharing your gift with us, Gabriel. We still cannot believe that everything went so beautifully, inpossibly, magically, blessedly well… We cannot ask for more. Sigh…

The Ng family @ Christmas Eve 2008

This year’s Christmas, the Ng family received a special Christmas gift from their friend, Yvonne. This special present is an absolute “one of a kind” family power portrait session with me…yeah!
Indeed, this was really a “one of a kind” session, cos we had the accompany of a formidable combo consist of one very cute 9 month old baby gal, two active golden retrievers, and a very fierce cat!

Merry X’mas!!

Okay, let’s do a normal shot before the fun begins!



Obviously, Alexandria prefers Mommy

Jimmy + Aiping TOGETHER!

I shot Jimmy and Aiping’s wedding in 2006 and it is a sweet surprise that Aiping call me up to book my portrait service as a birthday surprise gift for Jimmy. Jimmy is a professional juggler (see link). So we spend the rainy Hari Raya afternoon doing some new looks for his new alter ego Jimmy Juggler as well as portraits of the lovely couple. The good thing about shooting married couples is that they are able to enter into “my photography zone” immediately that makes my job so much easier. Happy birthday again to Jimmy Juggler!

Chi Minh & Ai Ping - Hey Gabriel, we’re delighted with the photos you’ve put on your blog! We enjoyed the photo session with you this afternoon because it was fun and relaxing. You certainly have a good eye for visuals…and a warm, easy-going, and sincere disposition…that makes every photo session by you a memorable experience.

Year End Concert 2008

Today we attended the Year End Graduation Concert of my son’s school. It was fun watching the 2 boys performing on stage. Same as last year, Jay Jay was literally day-dreaming on stage and Yang was excellent. Yang has been bugging mommy to enrole him into hip-hop dance class without success. Based on today’s stage performance, I think mommy is going to budge 😛




Jay was touching his backside telling me, “Papa, ????!”

This is Yang’s typical “strike-a-pose” look!

Johnson, Michelle, Megan + Jared TOGETHER

A few weeks ago while I was in Paris, Michelle sent me a sms indicating interest to hire me to shoot for her newborn 1 week old baby. Since then, I was looking forward to it. This session meant a lot to me because Michelle and Johnson are both hearing impaired and I’m so encouraged when she text me that she loves my work, and she just gave birth a few days ago only!

So today, I spent a delightful hour with this wonderful family. Jared is 7 weeks old now and Megan is our little translator. They really lit up my day!


Even Jared is smiling 🙂 Happy Family!
