Samui Destination Engagement Session | Kenny and Nikko
While I like to consider myself really good in geography there are quite a few times that I totally think that it’s a false personal perception. hahaha. Like when I had no idea where Koh Samui was when Kenny and Nikko booked me for their wedding… hahaha but wherever that was, I thought that if it is somewhere I never heard of before, it’s should be nice.
Nice is a bit of an understatement. Samui is awesome in itself but when you are there to capture the wedding of one of the sweetest couples ever, you actually stop to take a deep breath and thank Him for such a blessing. =)
Day 2 of our stay in Samui is the e-session shoot of Kenny and Nikko. All of us were not really familiar with the island so we agreed before that we’ll take a guided tour and shoot whatever we see from there. Midway through it, we realized that we needed something more out of the ordinary but still very Thailand AND still somehow connected to Kenny and Nikko. Then I remembered these old but colorful Thai fishing boats while researching about Samui and we agreed to look for where they are docked. The idea seemed bizarre to our guide and she kept on discouraging us – which actually just made more want to see it. hahaha.
Of course in the end, we found them and shot in them. It was honestly more than the colors and textures that we got (there were the smell and the stares too) but it was completely rad! Something I think no one has done before and something I think that no one is crazy enough to do. hahaha.
Enjoy the photos and the boat sans the smell – up next is Kenny and Nikko’s Samui wedding =)
