Hans & Oli - A Quiet Kind Of Forever

Some love stories arrive softly. They don’t demand attention or announce themselves with fireworks; instead, they take shape slowly—through shared routines, familiar footsteps, and the unmistakable comfort of being beside someone who feels like home.

Hans & Oli’s story is exactly that kind of love.

What struck me first wasn’t how they posed or how they moved. It was how naturally they existed together. When they walk, they don’t think about pace. They simply fall into rhythm, as if their bodies have spent years learning each other’s timing.

Their relationship was built on these everyday rituals: long strolls from Marina One to Marina Bay Sands, conversations that meandered without urgency, and moments where words mattered less than presence.

We started their session by retracing one of those familiar paths. For them, that held the most meaning. No instructions, no choreography—just the two of them doing what they’ve always done. It didn’t take long for the quiet magic to appear. Hans leaning in slightly, Oli turning her head at the same instinctive moment; a shared smile that grew into a laugh; the kind of body language that can’t be taught because it isn’t performed. It’s lived.

Inside the glowing blue of TeamLab’s light installation, their energy softened even more. The surrounding silence wrapped around them as they stepped closer, their silhouettes melting into the glow. It wasn’t dramatic, but it was intimate—two people completely present with each other. That’s where love reveals itself most honestly: not in grand gestures, but in the stillness between breaths.

And then there was the laughter—the loud, unfiltered kind that you can almost feel through the frame. Hans laughs with a joy that shakes the moment open. Oli responds with pure warmth, the type that comes from knowing you’re the reason someone else feels that free and comfortable. These bursts of laughter weren’t posed; they simply happened because this is who they are together.

By the time we reached the rooftop pool at Vivocity, it felt as though the city had slowed down just for them. They stepped into the water barefoot, letting the cool ripples wrap around their ankles. The way they held each other there—relaxed, playful, completely at ease—said more about their relationship than any planned shot ever could. Their reflections shimmered on the surface, bending gently with the water, two lives blending into one shared future.

Hans & Oli don’t love loudly. They don’t need to. Their connection thrives in the softness — the easy glances, the inside jokes, the quiet understanding that grows only when two people feel entirely safe being themselves.

That’s the story I wanted to honour. I didn't want to be imposing but I just wanted to be a quiet witness to their love.

When they look back at these photographs, I hope they see more than moments. I hope they remember the feeling: the warmth, the steadiness, the quiet certainty that they’ve found their person.

And that is the heart of Of Wild Promises —capturing love not as it “should” look, but as it truly is: honest, unscripted, and deeply, beautifully human.
