Ricky + Toka were introduced to us by their amazing sister, Ingrid. When we were first introduced, Toka and I exchanged emails almost every day. Toka is this amazing young lady who never fails to smile. Her smile is so infectious that we couldn’t help being happy every time we are near her. Oh – I forgot to mention – Ricky + Toka came all the way from Jakarta, Indonesia to do their pre-wedding session here in Sydney. Toka was so excited about Sydney, kept asking about all the good restaurants in Sydney.. So during the photo shots, I bribed her with those information and kept promising her all those great foods provided that she keep on smiling during the photo shots. Hahaha.. it was actually working, she was smiling all day. We told her about Chat Thai, Makoto, Madang, Seoul Ria, Hurricane and many other good restaurants in Sydney. They were so excited and kept asking if we can do a quick stop and have their lunch at one of those restaurants. Unfortunately, I have to say no – FYI: for those of you who do not live in Sydney – all great restaurants in Sydney have a 20-60 minutes wait time, if you don’t book those restaurants in advance, there is no way we can get into those restaurants during mad lunch hours. And also, it was winter at that time, so we were racing against time, during winter – Sydney will always get dark around 5PM-6PM which means, we have limited time to take photos during the day. So I managed to persuade them to eat in McDonald Check out one of their photos in McDonald below.. Also check out their photos with the colorful graffiti background.. their personalities really came out during this session.. so for those of you who want to know more about Ricky + Toka.. Check this out..
