HUMANS OF BHUTAN 🇧🇹 Over the past ten days, we had the privilege of visiting this enchanting country of Bhutan, nestled quietly in South Asia between India and China. Our experience was among the most authentic travel experiences we’ve ever had. Bhutan stands out for its exclusivity, starting with its $100 per day Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) visa, as the country prioritizes quality tourism over quantity. Our experience was very human, the people we met were very warm and the culture was pristine. We were able to immerse ourselves in their cultural rituals and get a deeper understanding of Buddhism as well 🙌🏼 Along the way we met many locals, who were very keen on having their photos taken. It made it easier that I was wearing the traditional Bhutanese outfit, everyone told me it looks good on me, some even assumed I was local 😅 Thank you @bridgetobhutan for making this trip happen for us 🇧🇹🙌🏼 If you consider traveling to Bhutan (highly recommended), get in touch with them and they will facilitate everything (visa, stays, on-the-ground logistics, activities and hikes) ✈️ Shots taken on Sony A7IV & ZV-E1, with 50mm f/1.2, 24mm f/1.4, 35mm f/1.4, 16-35mm f/2.8 📸 #bhutan #travel #portrait #photography #portraitphotography #SonyAlpha

We had our civil ceremony just over two weeks ago - so I guess it’s safe to say we’re legally married 😁💍 Currently soaking in the magic of our mini-moon in Bhutan 🇧🇹 and reliving every moment of our intimate day through these photos 🥰 Forever grateful to @sarah.teng for capturing 4700 (!!) memories we’ll treasure forever, and to @tinalee for another 200+ moments 🥲 Still can’t believe how beautifully it all came together.

@jerometraveller and I got married on a beautiful, sunny day in New York City 👩🏼‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏻☀️ In the days leading up to our civil ceremony, and even that very morning, it had been raining nonstop, with the forecast showing a 75% chance of thunderstorms. But as we got into the taxi to head to City Hall, the clouds started to lift and the sun peeked through ☀️ I quietly thanked the universe with every passing block 🥹 We asked our best friends, @tinalee & @melissa , to be our witnesses, a gesture that meant so much to us 🫶🏽 They both flew into New York just to stand by our side for the [very short] civil ceremony, and that commitment meant more than we can ever put into words. As if their presence wasn’t already the best gift, they also surprised us with the most magical picnic between New York’s two iconic bridges 😍 We ended the day - which also marked our two year anniversary - with a cozy dinner hosted by my family 🤍 The whole day felt like a dream. I didn’t have my phone. I was just floating, like I was on a big, soft cloud, completely wrapped in love by the people closest to me. I can’t even imagine what our big wedding day will feel like 🫢 My dress is from @lizaraynewyork & it is by a Brazilian designer Rebeca Nepumeceno 😍 #newyorkcity #married #💍

Why does expert traveler @jerometraveller always pack the 35mm F1.4 G Master lens in his bag? ✈️👇 “35mm is the perfect focal range to capture close intimate shots of your subject, while keeping enough environmental elements in your frame to help you tell a more compelling story 🖼️ I never miss the focus, even on the widest aperture, the subject’s eye remains sharp, while the smooth background bokeh helps the subject stand out in a cinematic way 🔥 This lens is small and compact, it can easily come with me on any trip, and people tend to be less intimidated by this lens, as compared to larger size lenses 🔭” - Jerome.

Feels good to be back in New York catching some rest from back to Back travels 😌 As loud and hectic this city is, the human connection and the vibrancy helps me wind down and catch a break 🗽 Other than this season’s pollen allergies, we’ve been enjoying some nicer weather the last few days here 😁 _____________ All photos shot on Sony A7IV 📸 #nyc #newyork #newyorkcity #travel #sonyalpha
