Sounds overly cliché but Ninh Binh is one of the most beautiful places that we’ve ever filmed in. Imagine: an elderly Vietnamese woman wearing a nón lá, rowing a small steel boat meandering through a tranquil river; cicadas chirping, ducks quacking - no mosquitos buzzing; the golden afternoon tropical sun illuminating the bride and groom - port side - and towering limestone cliffs to our starboard.
And we’re quite credible when it comes to destinations in Southeast Asia with limestone karst formations #borderlinetreason (Just kidding, El Nido. You’re still our second home.) Scenery aside, we’re also suckers for rainy day weddings. The “man vs nature” conflict effectively catalyzes a compelling narrative. And the “sunshine after the storm” kind of lighting? [chef’s kiss]
