Huy fell in love with photography very late, it was from the middle of 2016. At first, Huy, like the others, was passionate about photography, wanting to capture the moments only. But gradually Huy became increasingly passionate and decided to follow until now. At that time, wedding photography was not just about capturing ordinary moments anymore, brides and grooms at that time not only required the set of photos to be true, beautiful but also unique. In fact, each couple brings their own special things and special emotions, so Huy must record them artfully. It was indeed very difficult, but it helped Huy develop himself. Huy's photo shoots can be seen that Huy places great emphasis on spontaneity and honesty. Because Huy always thinks that "Huy is not a photographer, Huy is the one who tells people's stories through pictures". Therefore, Huy always ensures the best quality image to the bride and groom even the most difficult bride and groom. But Huy feels that he still has to work harder, put more effort, and learn more so that he can develop more. Huy doesn't want to be tied to the traditional wedding photography styles that Huy still wants. experience more. Huy not only shoots wedding reportage but also pre-wedding, street-life, family…. Huy has also experienced shooting in many different places such as Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand ... Since then, Huy found that the photos need to bring out the beauty of the couple and the surroundings. [Ho Chi Minh Wedding Photographer]

My name is Thanh and I am the owner of Ineffable Studios. I first fell in love with Hollywood movies and the art of films before transitioning to photography. I believe that's how I develop my style and my approach to wedding photography because I love to tell stories. Since my couples are the story, I want to be able to tell it as genuinely as possible. I want to say that my style is photojournalistic with a touch of ineffable. I don't want to just capture the moment, I want to capture it from a unique perspective. I challenge myself to see and shoot each wedding differently because each wedding is uniquely it's own. The venues and locations can be the same, but each couple is not. I really enjoy being able to document the story of my couples and capture all the emotions throughout the day/s by being in the background. My team tries to work like ninjas so that you can fully enjoy your day. I feel like that's how we able to get everybody to be comfortable enough to show their real emotions because they don't feel our presence. [San Jose Wedding Photographer]

Jiake Yang, a father of two boys, a full-time husband, a lifetime photographer. I founded my own photography studio in 2013 in Melbourne, we proudly service the entire Australia and internationally. I've always loved photography, I've always loved to capture natural and candid photos. I believe people will be relaxed with me around, I don't have to tell them what to do, where to look. I watch the story unveil and try to capture every bit of it. Please let me know if I could help. I'd love to be your storyteller. [Melbourne Wedding Photographer]

After investing in photography, I found that I like to record a variety of stories with my camera. After walking through many countries, I discovered that talent is the most beautiful thing. I have been fascinated by the so-called photographer’s eye and the photographer’s composition rules. I found out that I didn’t have such a foul, I wanted to shoot more different pictures. I like to take care of the process of preparation, and what I can do with my imagination. All the happiness and stories of the day are the feelings that cannot be measured by value for a lifetime. [Taipei Wedding Photographer]

The moving moment of the wedding is a fleeting moment that cannot be repeated. It is only once in a lifetime. We try our best to keep all the memories of the day for each couple. Maybe it is the shy expression of the bride, the look of the groom, the parents’ reluctance. Tears, happy smiles, these pictures are the most beautiful memories. I like to record happy times and write a picture that the newcomers have not noticed on the day so that you can be deeply touched when you relive the photos for many years. Wedding photography is not just a record, but the camera leaves the temperature of the day, presenting the story of your day. I hope that I will have the opportunity to be a friend who records your story, record the moment of change, and capture the picture of your life once. I am married, Jimmy Lee. [Taipei Wedding Photographer]

The first contact with photography was self-study on the Internet. It was around 2009. The first wedding photography was in 2011. My good friend got married and invited me to help them shoot the wedding. Then I started my wedding photography journey. I have taken more than 500 shots in my career so far. I hope that the photos I have taken will feel warm. Even after many years, I will still be able to return to the pictures I used to see. In Taiwan, I’m actually not a very famous photographer, and I haven’t held any exhibitions publicly, but I continue to work hard, and one day I can shine! It is worth mentioning that my younger brother is a cyr-wheel / hatter artist "Yang Shihao". His success has made me more awakened, no matter how big the dream is, just do it!
