Good questions.
Honest answers.
You are inviting someone into a day that belongs to you. It makes sense to have questions. Here is a little about how I work, what you can expect, and what you can happily stop worrying about.
The way I work
What does your photography feel like?
Like being there. The noise, the nerves, the people who stayed until the end. I follow what happens, then use light, composition and timing to give it a shape. I want you to recognise your life in the pictures.
We are terrible at posing. Is that a problem?
Excellent. You already have everything I need: a way of holding each other, a particular laugh, people you love. I will help when a little direction makes things easier. For most of the day, you can get on with being yourselves.
Will you take family portraits too?
Of course. Some photographs matter because everyone is in them. We will make time for family and group portraits, keep them simple, then let everyone return to the celebration.
Does the location have to be beautiful?
A beautiful place is lovely. It cannot do the feeling for you. I have found photographs in crowded rooms, difficult light and weather nobody ordered. Tell me what a place means to you. That is a much better starting point.
Do you photograph more than weddings?
Yes. Couples, families and the ordinary days that quietly become your favourite memories. Tell me what you want to remember, even if there is no occasion attached to it.
On the day
Who will photograph our wedding?
I photograph the weddings booked with me. Full wedding-day coverage includes two photographers, so we can follow more than one part of the story at once. We will confirm the team and coverage in your proposal before you book.
Will you travel for our story?
Gladly. I am based in Vietnam and photograph weddings here and abroad. Travel, accommodation and any visa requirements will be discussed and included in your proposal, so you know what to expect before saying yes.
How much of the day do you cover?
From getting ready to the parts of the party you might need photographs to remember. Full-day coverage is up to 12 hours; shorter celebrations and celebrations across several days can be arranged. We will build the coverage around your actual plans.
Do you offer video, makeup or outfits?
My work here is photography. If you need a filmmaker, makeup artist or another creative partner, I can recommend people whose work I know. You choose the team that feels right for you.
Can our guests take photographs?
Please let them enjoy themselves. A little room around the ceremony and family portraits helps us work without cameras blocking the view. The best gift your guests can give you is usually their attention.
The photographs & the practical things
How many photographs will we receive?
Usually 300–500 finished photographs for a full wedding day. The number follows the day: how it unfolds, how many people are there, how much happens. I select the photographs that tell the story well, rather than filling a gallery with repetitions.
How much do you edit?
Every delivered photograph is selected and finished for colour, exposure, contrast and composition. Some belong in black and white. I want you to look like yourselves, and the day to feel like the day. Extensive retouching can be discussed separately.
Can we have the RAW files?
I deliver the finished photographs. Choosing, editing and putting a story together are part of the work you hire me to do; RAW files are the material I work from.
How and when will we receive our pictures?
You receive high-resolution JPEG photographs without watermarks, usually within 24 hours of the shoot. For multi-day weddings or special commissions, we’ll agree on the delivery schedule before you book. Your agreement will confirm the delivery method and final deliverables. Once they arrive, download them and keep a second copy somewhere safe. Memories deserve a backup.
Can we print and share our photographs?
Yes, for your personal use. Print them, live with them, send them to your people. A credit when you share online is always appreciated. Please keep the editing intact; commercial use and any privacy preferences can be agreed with me directly.
How do we book, and what does it cost?
Start with the Collections page, then tell me your date, location and a little about the two of you. We will talk through what matters, agree the coverage and put everything in writing. Your date is reserved with a signed agreement and a 50% retainer. The remaining payment and any changes or cancellation terms are set out in that agreement.
