The first time we fall in love, there is no doubt that everything becomes so amazing, romantic, and super fun. The little things that our partners do, can end up making our days. We get closer and closer to each other by the day. Talking on the phone all day long. Texting like we don’t have any other things to do. Asking so many random questions and all the answers will be stuck in our minds forever. Our hands are always glued to each other. Giving each other good night kisses. Every frame in our life belongs in a romantic film.

It’s easy to maintain such romance when the love is new, but love and commitment are two things that can’t be separated from one another. When a relationship is getting older, and we end up getting used to each other, romance is then often replaced by excuses. It doesn’t mean that love disappears, it just can't be seen as often.

Pre-wedding portrait, engagement portrait, wedding portrait always portray romance and are always filled with love. What about after we enter the life of marriage? Shouldn't love grow deeper and deeper every day? Including every little aspect that comes with love? I believe as time goes by, it should be stronger and stronger and it can easily be seen by people around us, and not vice versa. There are many couples that I know actually, that seem like they are falling in love deeper and deeper every single day, one of them is Adi & Wenny. I met this couple few years ago, when they contacted me to take their pre wedding in Japan, and their wedding day in Singapore. It was an amazing experience to witness their love. Up until now, I can still remember how deep their wedding vows were. And few months ago they contacted me again and asked me to take their pictures during their summer vacation in the States. To be honest, I feel so honored and amazed on how they still want to do portraits after their wedding, I mean most of us just stop taking couple pictures after we got married and replace all the pictures with selfies or no pictures at all. But Adi & Wenny is kind of different. I adore them for wanting to keep their memories and moments for the years ahead.

They've never changed. They are still one of the most romantic couples I've ever met. We spent 3 days in San Francisco and Los Angeles to take their pictures and believe me, it was one of the best moments in my life. We shared lots of stories; how marriage can be so different from dating. Life is not always easy, especially when you are starting something big. It is harder when you actually have to go through “for better for worse” compared to just saying it in front of the altar. To show support to each other in every condition. Not only the small things, but most importantly the big things and big decisions. Sometimes it can make us forget how love works. We are too focused on what we do, thinking that we are doing this for love and for our relationship, but in reality, it doesn’t work that way. It is because of love that we can do all these things. It is a lesson that we learn after marriage. There are a lot of lessons that are bigger than just holding hands, talking on the phone all day, and kissing good night. It will be a lot easier to go through all those crucial life lessons together when the little things still matter.
