Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1: What are your wedding photography rates and packages?
We know this is the matter that most people are curious about (that’s why we put it in the first place for you). Photo-shoot session should be tailored for each wedding based on availability and needs of the couple. Those are also the reason why our rates are not listed fully for public viewing. We love to hear couples sharing about details of their weddings so we can give our best advises. So, just send us an email and you will have what you need.

Question 2: What is your photography style?
We love candid moments. Our photos are composed of true emotions, perfect lighting, clean compositions and sometimes theatricality. We respect the way things happen and record them in the most artistic way. We always yearn for creating something memorable, some visual legacies so whenever you look at them you can live those old good days again. We know some instants that only happen once and we want to tell your complete story through our cameras. Speak to us to know more about our artworks.

Question 3: I’m bad at posing. What is your advice?
Then don’t. Except for family portrait and group shots if required.
Question 4: What are you shooting?
Wedding photography including pre-wedding (engagement) and actual day are our main field of works. Besides, We also do commercial, event, architectural and family photography.
Question 5: Do you do videography? Do you have all-in service including outfits, makeup, hairdo…?
We provide photography only. We have big ambition for photography that’s why we chose to do one just one thing and do it at our best. Yet, we can give you referrals of excellent Videographers and bridal vendors who we had a chance to work with.
Question 6: Do you do destination weddings?
We love travelling. For this reason, destination weddings are always on top of our list and dream. We are destination wedding photographers, as we have been travelling and shooting around Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, Australia, Canada. We are willing to travel as long as we are allowed to be in that location.
Question 7: How important is shooting location?
Location does play a certain role in wedding photography however it is not the decisive factor. It is lucky to shoot in beautiful places because it may stir up your feelings but after all it’s your true emotions that decide the value of your photos. You know we are experienced in capturing the vibes. Bad weather or unexpected change of weather do count as a challenge but we are able to see something different from such circumstances and ensure quality end-products for our clients.
Question 8: Who will be shooting our pre-wedding/engagement and wedding day/actual day sessions?
We will always be the main photographer for all of your sessions. For pre-wedding/engagement sessions, we will shoot on my own normally. For wedding day/actual day sessions, at least two of our in-house photographers will cover your day to make sure nothing gets missed and also to add more perspectives to your album. However, in case you only need one photographer for the date, we are still available.
Question 9: Are you really shooting all day long as the quote says “one-day shooting”? What does your coverage include?
Our answer is “No” for pre-wedding/engagement sessions and “Almost” for wedding day/real day sessions. Allow us to explain! Prewedding/engagement sessions depend mostly on natural lighting and there are only few hours in a day that have perfect light. We normally shoot for 4-5 hours a day in total. The rest of the time is for travelling between locations, makeup, hairdo, resting time for the couple… While you are resting or preparing for the next scene, we will be either backing up images, setting up for the second venue, or looking for best views… In many cases, we use that “downtime” to take some behind the scene shots. For wedding day/real day shoots, as we mentioned, we will minimize the chance that anything gets missed so we will cover your full day from getting ready, ceremony, reception, group photos, family traditional shoot, party… You will not even have to ask for extension of service. We are often the last ones to stay. We want you to completely enjoy your perfect day.
Question 10: Are there additional costs such as travel, accommodation…?
I am happy to bare travel cost for myself if shooting in Vietnam (will need your help with this cost if shooting overseas). I will need your support to cover travel cost for my second shooter, entry approval fee (visa fees – if required), accommodations and meals for my team whether shooting inside or outside Vietnam. I can add this cost to the final price after having your approval on our proposal so you can be worry free about this. I know you have a lot on your plate already.
Question 11: How many photos we will we receive?
Answer: Some hundred images will be delivered to you as final product. There is no limit on number of photos taken in a session and I’m going to eliminate the undesired photos (blink shots, blurred images, bad exposures etc…). Normally a couple will have 200 – 300 photos for their pre-wedding/engagement session and 300 – 500 photos for their wedding day/actual day session depending on many factors of a couple and their wedding.
Question 12: Do we receive all the raw, unedited files?
Products delivered to my customers must be presentable. That’s my principle. Therefore, the raw, unedited files will not be available for viewing or purchase. They are eliminated from the first stage. We do not archive such images.
Question 13: When will we receive our photographs? For how long will you store our photos?
Final delivery of digital images will be completed within 6 weeks from the shooting date. Once the final images are received by email or USB, or 6 months have elapsed from the date of the wedding/event, I will no longer be responsible for providing any data or photos lost, stolen, or damaged. I strongly suggest you make at least one copy of the download when you receive it from me.
