To all the newly engaged couples contemplating taking studio pictures in Taiwan:
We decided to forgo pricey engagement/wedding photographers in Los Angeles after discovering that the photographers we wanted started at ~$6K. Instead we opted to make a pit stop in Taipei at C&H Wedding Studio, which is apparently affiliated with a Taiwanese movie star. Jason's cousin, Patrice, was SO extremely helpful with helping us locate this studio and set up the photoshoot and I thought the experience was very positive and organized.
We were required to pick out our outfits before the day of the shoot; our pricing included a traditional tuxedo for the groom and 4 changes of clothing for the bride. I found the dresses to be fairly acceptable, considering I'm quite possibly in the birthplace of sequins, pastels, lace and all things ornate and gaudy.
On the day of the shoot, we started makeup/hair at 9am. As a self-proclaimed make-up artist, I give super mad e-props to the makeup artist at C&H. She was magic. I wanted to be her apprentice. She was lightning fast and super creative and the keebler elf of transformation. We did an offsite shoot in the mountains but cut it short due to inclement weather. In the studio I changed 3 times and called it quits before the 4th dress because I couldn't handle any more posing and changing and attention. The photographer was really casual and put us at ease, despite a zlight language barrier.
The following day, we were able to preview the pictures, select images for print and framing. Pictures will be completed in 2 weeks and both of our families will be "gifted" with uber large images of us. Neat, tidy, super organized and cheap- we ended up paying ~$2k, including additions to our initial package.
Please feel free to ask us any questions about our experience, we highly recommend it!

ReplyDeleteSince there are many great shots you may get, you will need to work with the right person for them to capture those shots. When you're to the right studio, you are going to look for a top photographer to work with you, and to get you the grade of the photographs you desire to see.

Wild, naturally grown flowers don't last as long once cut form their source, but when put together in special combinations they create a fresh, instant "flash mob" of flowers, that captures the sense of romance.
