Why choose you as our wedding photographer?

I believe wedding photography is not just about recording moments but preserving lifelong memories. I hope to bring my professionalism and passion to add a unique artistic value to your special day.

What services do you offer?
My services include full-day wedding coverage, post-processing, and pre-wedding consultations to help you plan the details and ensure everything runs smoothly.
Currently, booking a full-day wedding also includes a Sneak Peek service, ensuring you receive some highlights within 48 hours to share with family and friends.
How long does post-processing take?
Post-processing typically takes 2-10 weeks, depending on the season and workload. Each photo is meticulously adjusted to ensure the best color, lighting, and details. If you need photos sooner, expedited services or Sneak Peek are available.
How many photos will we receive?
The number of final delivered photos varies depending on the duration and content of the wedding. (Example for an 8-hour wedding, you can expect 480-720 high-quality photos. )Each photo is carefully selected and processed to tell your story completely.。
Are the photos we receive fully retouched?
All delivered photos undergo essential editing (exposure, color, composition, and basic cleanup). If you require premium retouching (e.g., facial features, body proportions, skin refinement), you can opt for Sneak Peek or additional retouching services.
Will we receive all the raw photos?
You will receive all valid photos in JPG format, including those with essential editing. Raw files (RAW format) are not provided as they are unprocessed data files and not suitable for direct use. Invalid photos (e.g., blinks, unflattering expressions, or technical errors) are also excluded.
What is Sneak Peek?
Sneak Peek is a selection of preview photos provided before the full delivery. These photos are typically the most stunning and representative moments from your wedding day, allowing you to relive the joy and share it with loved ones.
My Sneak Peek service goes beyond essential editing, offering Premium Retouching to ensure the highest quality.
What’s the difference between Essential Editing and Premium Retouching?
Essential Editing: Includes exposure, color, composition adjustments, and basic cleanup.
Premium Retouching: Includes fine-tuning facial features, body proportions, skin refinement, precise color adjustments, and further refinement of clothing wrinkles and imperfections.

Do you bring backup equipment?
Yes, I always carry multiple full-frame professional cameras, top-tier lenses, backup batteries, and memory cards to provide a "double guarantee" for all my clients, ensuring the shoot is completed successfully under any circumstances.
