Those viral “80s Hong Kong pre-wedding” photos flooding your feed aren’t vintage treasures from a forgotten album—they’re the masterful creation of Vietnamese photographer Vũ Thụy Khuê aka @kemmiethecat.
Born in 1999, this Ho Chi Minh City-based artist has captured the internet’s imagination with wedding portraits that feel like they’ve time-traveled directly from a Wong Kar-wai film. Her meticulously crafted scenes have taken social media by storm across Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand, proving that nostalgia’s power transcends borders and generations.
Inspired by her own parents’ wedding album and the golden era of Hong Kong cinema, Thụy Khuê recreates a world where film grain feels like an emotion and color palettes tell stories of their own. Creating this time capsule required extraordinary attention to detail, from the models’ classic Hong Kong screen-idol looks to period-perfect styling. Every element—hair, makeup, wardrobe, lighting, and even the subtle expressions between the couple—was choreographed to transport viewers back to early ‘90s Hong Kong.
