Temples in Chiang Mai

We spent time to walk and ride bicycles around Old City, Chiang Mai. Matt took photos non-stop while explaining Buddhism to me. It was as quiet and comfortable as how a sip of cold water cools your whole body down on a mid-summer day.

First attempt at Barn Props setting.

I had spent three weeks of December in the cold of Hanoi and got back to Koh Samui just in time for a Slovakian couple's wedding a few days ago (that's for those who might have asked Where the hell I was going) You will see the photos by the end of this post, but let me show you my at-the-moment excitement first: We (me and Matt) have done a simple Barn Props set-up for future elopements or wedding photoshoots and it looked (quite) great. The whole purpose was to see how quickly a set-up can be done what WHATEVER we had around the neighborhood. Since it was a last-minute game, we chose the abandoned house next door as our background to save some time.

Some basic style-guides:
Theme: (will-be-more) Rustic-Barn/GardenFlowers: White orchid & Hedera, Butterfly Peas and a few can-not-named plantsColour: Green-White with a dash of red. 

Forget tape, you might want to use steel string instead since it can easily be formed/bent and it's waterproof. Next time I will follow this inspiration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFGNacz7oGo

 We found many crystal vases and glasses in the basement but unluckily we could not find any flowers to fill them up. 

Have you ever seen a ring dropped on a beach and got lost in the sand? Ring basket is here to save you.

4m-wide doors as the background. 

Mirrors always add natural light to the scene. 

The post cards were gifts from Jakarta Wedding Fair 2015. Lovely masterpieces!

Ring by +XIX Jewelry 

Literally "rustic" door pulls.

The butterfly peas join, too 

Me picking the Calamagrostis Karl Foerster in the grass field next door. (It was fun although we didn't add them at last. Maybe next time when I have more colours in my flower palette)

Let's take a look at another garden themed engagement shoot in Bantai beach last summer
