A Tale of Love and Perseverance
Tim and Naoko's story proves that love at first sight isn't just for the movies—it's about patience and a bond that deepens over time.
Their journey began in the U.S. when they were 20. Tim, a dentistry student working odd jobs, first noticed Naoko while mowing lawns on campus. Her warm, radiant smile left a lasting impression on him. Though he always admired her from a distance, covered in mud and grass, he hoped for the chance to get to know the beautiful student who brightened his days.
Fate, however, had other plans. Their paths crossed again, this time at Tim’s shared house when Naoko came to visit one of his housemates. Despite the chance encounter, Tim, feeling unsure about how he could offer Naoko the life she deserved, hesitated to pursue a relationship. But Naoko was drawn to Tim’s infectious laugh and easygoing nature; he never failed to make her smile with his wit and down-to-earth spirit. As challenges like distance, finances, and different backgrounds loomed over them, their bond only grew stronger. They navigated years of long-distance, keeping their love alive through faith and patience. Seven years later, when they were finally together again, Tim got down on one knee, and Naoko happily said, “I will.”
This pre-wedding shoot, a part of “The Husband’s Favorite” package, is Tim’s way of making a promise to Naoko: no more waiting, no more longing. It brought them to some of Phuket’s most enchanting destinations, capturing moments that turned their love into lasting memories.
Day 1 led the couple to Kokaeo Lake, where towering trees created a natural canopy, offering a touch of privacy for their intimate moments. As they explored this serene setting, it felt like a scene from a fairytale. Naoko, in her lace-adorned white dress, seemed like a modern-day Snow White, with local wildlife (okay, mostly curious cows and bulls) making an appearance. The scene, framed by birch and oak, might seem unusual for Thailand, but it was the perfect backdrop for their storybook romance. Standing by the water’s edge, Naoko and Tim reflected the beauty of their love in the lake’s surface. There was no need for a magic mirror—anyone could see they were truly made for each other.
Day 2 brought a change of scenery as they moved to the beach, where tall palms swayed above, echoing their LA beginnings. Though Ammata’s Eyes usually offers styling and posing advice, Tim and Naoko hardly needed it—they couldn’t stop smiling and laughing, lost in their own world. Seven years might seem like a long time for some, a challenge that dims love’s initial spark. But for Tim and Naoko, those years only deepened their connection. Their time together on the sandy shores became a celebration of their journey, a moment that was entirely theirs.
Running along the waves, with grains of sand kicked up in their playful footsteps, all it took was a single glance into Naoko’s eyes to see how complete Tim made her feel. She looked every bit the angel on the beach, while Tim gave their photographer some perfect, K-drama-worthy shots as he walked into the sunset, his love by his side.
A Promise Captured in Time
Throughout the entire two-day shoot, laughter and joy filled the air. The golden hour bathed them in a warm glow, perfectly capturing the essence of their love—timeless, vibrant, and full of life. It’s no wonder this became one of Ammata’s Eyes’ favorite sessions, a reminder of what makes love stories like theirs so unforgettable.
Naoko and Tim, as you move forward into your next chapter, we wish you endless happiness and a future filled with as much love and laughter as the days we spent capturing your story. Congratulations on your journey, and may your wedding day be just the beginning of a lifetime of cherished moments!
