As a small business owners, we wear many hats. I want to share with you a few things that help me thrive as a small business owner and as a destination wedding photographer.


TRAVEL


Sunscreen

Shiseido stick

Sun Bum Spray

Carry-on Luggage

Since we travel so much, we have gone through a lot of luggages. One of our favorite carry-on luggage is Lipault brand. They're super light and it fits a lot stuffs. They also have double spinner wheels - this make this luggage very mobile and easy to carry.


Travel Hard-drive

Lacie hard drive is perfect for on-the-go image transfer with memory card reader.

If you want to invest more, check out gnarbox.

If you don't need the memory card reader, Sandisk will be amazing for you.


Fujifilm Camera

This is my favorite personal/travel camera. It is light to travel with and the quality is film-like and beautiful.

As someone that used to live abroad, this is very important. When I visit family, travel to destination that is outside of the country, this is the adapter I'm using to charge my phone, cameras, and other electronic devices.
