We Created Love Letters In The Form Of Photo-Illustrations For Our Future Spouses
My name is Arnold Lan and I have wanted to get married for as long as I can remember. I am also an avid traveller with a passion for photography. Throughout my travels, there have been countless moments where I was blown away with what I was seeing, experiencing, or eating, but there was always a subtle pang in the back of my mind, “I wish I got to experience this with my wife instead”. Thus the project “Dear Future Wife” was born!
That’s when I approached my talented illustrator friend Grace Kwok with an idea of drawing the “future wife” into my photographs. She represents all of our future spouses that we long for. The wife character is sometimes a tourist with me, and other times she breaks the law of physics and reality.
Dear Future Wife is an on-going series of love letters of photo-illustrations for both those longing for future love, and to encourage us that there is love within ourselves.

You can see the romance in every stroke and ray of light. Thanks for for creating something so beautiful, Arnold!
An incredibly talented photographer and driven in everything that he does! This project is so cool!
This is so adorable! Why doesn't the photographer and illustrator get together??
I'm waiting to see what other hilarious things your future wife will say next!!!
wow, arnold! i love the quality and composition of your photos, it's really captivating! keep up the great work!
Super creative concept, love the way that imagination complements reality! Looking forward to the rest of the series. And where is "Dear Future Husband"?
The sketches really elevate the pictures from an earthly plane to an ethereal plane...awesome work, especially the night sky one!
Awesome! Excited to see how this collaboration grows in the future!! :DDD
These are the cutest thing ever! As someone who also dreams about marriage, this project gives me so many happy and fuzzy feelings <3
All the feels! You guys translate your idea so beautifully :D Lovely collaboration!
Such a beautiful concept. Don't fret Arnold, that lucky girl is out there! :)
Waow. Sugoiii kawaii future waifu. In all seriousness this is an amazing original collaboration that I hope gets more attention. Hope to see more!
Amazing pictures - combining photography and drawing. I love this concept!
this is awesome!!! is there any way i can get this as a desktop wallpaper?
Arnold is a warm hearted man with great creativity (as seen in the photos above) and the ability to capture moments some of us would like to capture and talk about, but just can't do it in the way he can. He is honest with his work and I think this is one of the most heart-warming and relatable photo ideas he has had - to share the moment with someone you desire but is not yet there.. I'm sure a lot of us have thought that, and if we havent then these are great moments and places couples can go to and experience! well done :)
Arnold Land is one of the most amazing photographers I've had the pleasure of meeting!
I love this work, and the how the simplicity of the sketches fit into each digital photo so well! For anyone who is in love or dreams of love, they can truly see how their significant other can fit into these photos.
wow Arnold, i love the quality and compositions of your photos, they are so captivating. keep up the great photography. you'll be a big shot one day
