Switzerland Wedding
“Jon was the perfect photographer for our wedding in Switzerland. He captured all the emotions on our special day without anyone noticing that these precious moments were being quietly stored away in the background. Jon was also able to 'pick' and choreograph great scenes that we didn't even realise which resulted in warm, beautiful and natural photos. We were so lucky to have found Jon. Thank you!”
I remember receiving Guy & Yukie's email. They spoke about their long distance relationship over the last 5 years between Switzerland, London, Tokyo, Egypt & New York. They retold the story of how Guy proposed in Switzerland a month earlier. And then, they spoke about their love for their grandfathers. Yukie was named after Mount Fuji's snow by her grandfather. Guy's grandfather had passed away while hiking a mountain in Switzerland while Yukie's grandfather had never left Japan in the 95 years of his life & one of his last wishes was to visit Europe. They said their wedding would be a nice place for their grandfathers to connect. I love a good story about grandfathers - it reminds me of my Ah Kong. I fell in love with them instantly & knew I wanted to be a part of their big day.
After a few correspondence, I had to sadly turn down their wedding, purely due to logistic & economical reasons. Their reply surprised me, and asked me what they could do to make it more worth my while. I guess 5 years of long distance relationship teaches you to have perseverance. I'm glad they never gave up, because looking back, I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Enjoy their wedding - Lausanne, Switzerland.
