An unconventional love story, RJ and Aissa started theirs from different countries.  However, distance was never a barrier.  Love truly prevailed when they tied the knot and went against all odds.  

Their wedding was celebrated in a beautifully decorated garden as well as the preparations and the reception.  The challenge for us was to make the most out of the surroundings.  We utilized the place to achieve dramatic results using the areas’ texture, colour, lines and shapes, playing around with compositions.

It was a beautiful wedding that allowed us to achieve extraordinary photographs that we are proud to showcase.  

Congratulations again, RJ and Aiza!

Ray & Marilyn

My first impression of this couple was that they were the shy type. Little did I know that as the day unfolded, they let loose and allowed themselves to have fun during their engagement shoot.  I was taken aback by Ray's built by just looking at him, especially because of my Asian build, I was sure I didn't want to mess with him! (Sorry Ray!) But as I got to know him, he is one of the most fun loving person I've ever met.  Marilyn's personality came through in her subtle and girly ways as we completed the shoot. Both of them are so gentle, kind, genuine and honest people.  Photos do not tell lies.  As I saw them through my viewfinder, I witnessed the real deal.  Real, sweet passion and honesty towards each other.

Thanks Ray and Marilyn for allowing me to witness your love and I am looking forward to your wedding, it will certainly be a festive one :)

Annica and Jon is such a gentle and easy-going couple.  Their Wedding Day is a beautiful celebration of their love for each other and their families.  It is such an inspiration for me to see all parties supporting and caring for one another.

At johnfick photography, we always bring something new and fresh to the couple’s expectations.  I am deeply grateful to the couple for allowing me to go “crazy” in taking their pictures and respecting my judgment in creating beautiful images.  

Every wedding is always a learning experience for us, not just in photography but also in bringing life to each other and developing our own relationships.

We wish you all the happiness and the very best in your future together.

Dave and Steph are a kind hearted couple, although a bit shy, their love certainly reflects so vibrantly, even through to the whole entourage!

It was a crazy day for everyone.  We never had a dull moment with this group and I could not get enough of taking photos of them.  They seemed to be on a “mission” to have  a great time wherever they were.  It was obvious that this group treasured their friendship with each other.  

This beautiful day was certainly a perfect time to capture gorgeous looking people with great personalities that oozed throughout the day… To all of you… Keep the fun and love flowing!

We got a phone call from Aprille for a portfolio shoot recently and we found her to be a polite, friendly, ambitious and a focused young lady.  She was even more surprising during the photo shoot.  She gave us poses that had created a lot of “lines and shapes”.  Aprille acted professionally and she certainly delivered everything we had asked of her outstandingly.  Her work ethics were impressive, as expected from any of the models that we meet.  Aprille is also someone who has dabbled with TV presenting and is studying Law.  She is an inspiration to young girls.  All the best with your future career and choices in life, Aprille!

Peter and Marianne had booked another photographer but unfortunately cancelled them and decided to hire us instead.  We are humbled to be chosen and pleased to be working with them.  The honour is ours as our work reflects our commitment to deliver beyond expectations.

These shots were taken during a cozy and breezy Saturday afternoon.  It was a perfect day to take photos.  Overcast, breathing fresh air, inhaling the sea breeze, and witnessing the life existing everywhere we look.  And the couple…breathing life in each other, naturally having a good time, taking these breathless moments.  

To Peter and Marianne, we cannot wait to be working with you again and we look forward to your special day!

It was Gabriela's most significant and special day.... to be baptized and officially be welcomed into the world we all know so well.

As soon as I walked into their home, I couldn’t help but noticed her beautiful, sparkling blue eyes.  She is absolutely adorable, and just like any other child when they look at you in all curiosity, they seem to ask, “Hi…do I know you?”  We looked at each other for a brief moment until she finally realized that I was a stranger...a stranger in her own turf! In a quick reaction and a change of expression, she seemed to yell, “WAAAH! YOU DON'T BELONG HERE!!!”  I simply couldn't let go of that natural reaction as she cried and cried and continued “MOMMY…HEEEELLLPP!!! THERE’S A STRANGER IN OUR HOUSE!!!!! She tried to find comfort from her mother’s embrace as tears gently rolled down from her eyes to her soft, pink cheeks…  

These are indeed the moments that capture honesty and pure vulnerability.  They are real, they are beautiful :) These images are priceless... and once again, a simple reminder of when we were all once young...

In behalf of johnfick photography, we would like to wish all fathers a HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

Children grow up so fast and before we know it, they are running around from chasing their toys to chasing relationships and all that goes with life’s journey!

A picture such as this is truly symbolic and it will always be remembered.  Every minute is valuable in a little one’s life that a parent would not exchange for anything.  Such a moment is captured and will always be cherished.

 
 

This powerful image encapsulates the very hands that will guide the steps of his most precious one.  Nothing else seems to matter and it is as if this child is the only one that matters.  How great and wonderful it is to be loved by a greater being.

So we honour our fathers in this very symbolic and special day.  Let’s celebrate fatherhood and all the strength, unconditional love and care that they bring in all our families…

Little Angels
Jessica and Amy are inseparable cousins even if they hardly see each other as Amy lives overseas.
I was astounded to witness their relationship as it unfolded before me. They were such a joy to watch. Their innocence, character and pure appreciation for each other and their surroundings just
completed the picture. At one point in there childhood none of these things they will remember but through these images they will always remember these moments...priceless and invaluable. I was very blessed to be allowed to witness this time with them. I wonder when will they see each other again.....3 years? 5 years? 10 years? who knows.

Levi is turning ONE!
Levi’s first birthday is coming up and is the son of a very good friend of mine, who happens to be a photographer himself. It was such a privilege to be asked to take a photo of his first son. And I thank him for allowing me to experience this precious time.

So, as Father’s Day draws near, such images do remind us of how precious the relationship of a parent and a child really is. These are the kinds of images that every family member would always hold close to their hearts.
