Frequently Asked Questions
1) How long you have been a wedding photographer?
I started out as a fashion photographer and second wedding photograher 13 years ago, and after 2 years, I started shooting my own wedding as a lead photographer. I have captured over 120 weddings and have plenty of experience shooting different ethnic wedding ceremony.
2) Do you charge travel fee?
If the wedding venue is within 40 miles proximity from Rowland Heights, I generally won't charge travel fee. If it is beyond 40 miles drive, then I may add travel fee $5 per additional mile. I may waive this fee, depends on the destination and other factors.
3) What kind of file format you deliver?
After I complete photo editing, I will only send jpeg file format to my clients. I generally keep the original raw files for only 6 months after wedding day.
4) Do you meet with clients prior to booking?
Yes I am open to meet with prospective clients upon request. I am also fine to meet with clients on zoom meeting.
5) What type of photography gears you use?
I primarily use Canon professional full frame camera R5 an R6, and I also use 5D Mark 4 for back up. I also have Panasonic Lumix camera for'capturing videography for clients. I also use professional flashes and portable studio light and LED light, I don't need power outlet for my lighting gears. I always record photo files with two memory cards for my cameras for additional secure reason.

Generally you can expect you will receive around 40-50 fully edited photos for every one hour of a typical wedding day, and for a 2-hour engagement session, you will receive around 100-150 fully edited photos.
8) Should I worry about you have never shot at my venue?
No, you should not be worried about it. It is because I always show up early to scout a wedding venue and I do some research prior to the wedding day. I had clients found a private estate on Airbnb and they booked it for their wedding ceremony and reception, and they love my work a lot.

I will reserve the right to charge overtime, and the rate is usually $100 per 30 minutes.
