When I contacted Vân for a photoshoot in Switzerland,

I told her that because of our age, the two of us probably wouldn’t be able to pose smoothly or keep up with the trendy wedding styles nowadays.

So we decided to just be ourselves, to take a few casual, memorable photos, rather than treating it as a formal “wedding shoot.”

After all, once the busy wedding days are over, it’s really just the two of us who will look back at these pictures, maybe with a few supportive views from our kids and grandkids in the future.

I knew that kind of request wouldn’t be easy for Vân.

If we had gone with the usual, formulaic style, it might’ve been simpler, but somehow, being natural made it harder for her.

And yet, when we received the photos, we could clearly see that the shoot truly reflected who we are.

Thank you so much, Vân.
