BANGKOK, Dec 23 — The question that must bug every good wedding photographer is: In an apparently blissful world of sunrise shots and dreamy glances, how do you make sure that you give your clients something more than the same old, same old?
This was the dilemma faced by Thai photographer Sanit Nitigultanon when engaged by a couple only known as Max and Mint for their wedding shoot.
He told the BBC that he asked his clients the usual questions in an attempt to find out more about them, but they didn’t divulge anything special about themselves — until they revealed their mutual love for eating.
“I asked the couple if there was anything special about them, but they said all they liked to do was go around and eat,” recalled Nitigultanon to the BBC.
“So the first thing that came to mind was going to all their favourite restaurants.”
The result is a charming set of pictures that shows the couple sampling everything from chicken rice to egg noodles in the one day across the Thai capital, Bangkok.
And perhaps unlike other brides, 27-year-old Mint told the BBC that she was more than happy to chomp down for her wedding photos instead of worrying about her weight.
“All my friends told me that I have to lose lots of weight before my pre-wedding photoshoot,” she was quoted as saying.
“But I thought, why do I have to change into someone that I am not? I’m just going to be myself and have fun with it.”
Predictably, reaction to the photographs have been huge, with the album receiving some 31,000 likes on Facebook, according to the BBC.
