From Tropical Phu Quoc to the Shores of the Black Sea
Tropical heat, endless coastlines, and salty air — that’s my everyday scenery on Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam. But sometimes, creativity calls for new horizons. For this photo session, I traveled to Odessa, Ukraine, to bring a seaside love story to life in a completely different atmosphere.
We staged everything by hand: a handmade boat, rose petals, an adorable flower girl in red boots, and even lighting gear carried into the sea. The couple floated gently just offshore, while the child scattered petals through the air — creating an almost surreal romantic moment. This shoot is proof that when you combine vision with a touch of playfulness, even the sea can turn into a theater of emotions.
I continue the Wedding Story made in Odessa. The first wedding photo (which became "Photo of the day" on several sites) from this photo session, see here. To see how we made this photo
The sea was wet and cold. We had to put on the waterproof trousers we had prepared in advance.
That looks like fun. :)
We put a stool in the water. It glows underwater, it's bright. We took the mat out of the car. We wrapped it in black.
Yes, We Do This on Phu Quoc Too
And the result of our creative photoshoot.
While this story unfolded in Odessa, similar magic happens on the beaches of Phu Quoc every week. Whether it’s an engagement shoot, honeymoon session, or a creative couple portrait, we often include decorative boats, flowers, natural light, and even costume details to make the moment unforgettable.
On Phu Quoc, the turquoise water and tropical skies do the rest — adding warmth, depth, and island character to every shot. You don’t have to fly across the world to feel cinematic. If you're here on the island, we can make your love story come alive with the same creative flair.
Check out another creative photoshoot with a love story!
Let’s create images that you’ll treasure as a couple for years.
