Why couples write to us

A day planned in English,
photographed the Vietnamese way.

Most of our couples have never been to a Vietnamese wedding shoot before. So we do the planning: the places, the hours, the gowns, the car, the makeup. You tell us the dates you are in the country and what you would like to remember, and we send back a plan you can read in one minute.

How we photograph

Unposed on the day,
in the order it happened.

A wedding day with us is documentary photography, close to reportage. We watch, we wait, and we photograph what is already happening. Nobody is lined up, nobody is asked to do a moment again for the camera. The only directed minutes are your two portraits, and we keep them short.

The approach is photojournalistic, which is why the gallery reads as storytelling rather than a set of poses: five in the morning, the tea at your parents' house, the ride, the speeches, the last song. Pre-wedding sessions are the opposite, and we say so plainly: those we direct.
