Last weekend turned out great and I hope you had as good a weekend as I did! Two friends, Jonathan & Duke, coincidentally both from Taipei, visited over the weekend and I got to hang out and party with them! It was also Palate Palette‘s 3rd Anniversary party and it rocked out with great vibes, hippy-style!! I especially liked the part where I dipped my foot in red and yellow paint and made a mark on their wall! It was good to see so many friends who I haven’t seen in ages as well!

So… I finally have some time to update a post after an entire weekend of partying and shooting… These were taken in Melbourne, of Chang Chang & CJ. I was stoked when they confirmed their pre-wedding shoot for Melbourne as it would be my very first time shooting in Australia! And when Chang Change emailed me the list of recommended locations, I felt completely clueless but thrilled at the fact that I had a totally new backdrop to work with! I got to Melbourne in time for Derby Day and spent 10 days there, with all my shoots scheduled for my last weekend there so that I had time to recce the city.

On the morning of the shoot, we were blessed with perfect weather (as always!) and Chang looked stunning in her white-laced gown where she carefully hid the flip flops she wore that day. Smart indeed! Considering we walked all over the city!

I had so much fun photographing them and special thanks to Gia who helped us out during the shoot!! Here are all my favorite shots!

We borrowed these two spaniels from a lady who was walking them!

Notice that Mountain Goat is the beer of choice? =)

After a nice cold beer under the scorching sun, we headed for dim sum!

It got really hot as we headed to Brighton beach and the place was packed with people!
