A suit
for Forrest.

Forrest Aguar asked UKENA to make the suit for his wedding to Michelle Norris. It was an honour to be part of their day.

Forrest and Michelle work together as Tropico Photo. Their photography and art direction make room for bold colour, playful compositions and a shared way of seeing.

For the wedding, a black UKENA suit with pale embroidered lines sat alongside Michelle’s vivid colours. A work made for a person and an occasion, then carried into their life.

Forrest turns to show the front and back of the suit. A short film from the personal archive.

A suit in motion.

The lines follow the body. A turn reveals another side of the work.

The suit goes on.

The embroidered trousers appear again, with another outfit. These photographs belong to the life of the work beyond the wedding.

Forrest & Michelle.
Lovers of colour.

A little love for the world they make together. As Tropico Photo, Forrest and Michelle turn colour, shape and everyday objects into images that invite a second look.

Thank you both for bringing UKENA into your wedding day. Here are six photographs from their own world.
