Living and working in a hip city like Shanghai with your fiancé is a special experience. You have a bank of memories from building this chapter of your lives together, away from all that is familiar, and you want to remember how you’ve made this place home. Shanghai, with its iconic streets, memorable frames of skyscrapers, and eclectic mix of Chinese-European residences, all make for a meaningful engagement album that encapsulates this Malaysian couple’s life in this season.

We love their carefree spirit in these images, and check out that adorable alpaca curiously eyeing its surroundings. It’s an unusual addition to an engagement album but it’s so docile, you can’t help but be charmed by it. To capture a sense of the local fashion, the couple wear Fei Yue, a well-known sneaker brand produced in that very city. Thank you for sharing these brilliant shots, Andrew Yep Photographie!

“We got in the night before and discussed our shoot options. We decided on some of their favourite locations and other interesting ones in Shanghai,” says Andrew Yep Photographie, adding that many of the shots were spontaneous. “The alpaca was a joy to work with after we got over our initial apprehension. It drew plenty of attention and there were times when a crowd had gathered and we had to ask them for space to shoot. But the alpaca never once misbehaved.”
