"Melina has always been my friend, even before I became a photographer. She told me that she wanted to have both her wedding and pre-wedding in Italy, since she really wanted to explore the country. We ended up having a lot of meetings and decided on the destinations, namely Cinque Terre, Dolomites, Venice, Lake Como, and Milan. It was a long, enjoyable 10-day trip. We all had the chance to explore Italy.

Alvin is a very chilled person with a laid-back personality. At first, Mel told us that Alvin doesn’t like being photographed, and I told Mel, “We got this,” which blew away her cloud of doubt. We had a great team on board; we had Niccolas from Nomina, and Bubah Alfian as the makeup artist.

The trip turned out to be a fun and unforgettable trip, and here are their pre-wedding photographs. I would like to extend my greatest gratitude for entrusting me to be your photographer of choice. We will soon give an update on their wedding, which is also my very first wedding photography experience in Italy." - Benny Lim
