If rain or a storm is forecast, you can postpone for free up to 2 days before your photo day. If you still want to shoot and our photographer thinks it is possible, we can take photos using umbrellas.
Many couples book 1–2 months ahead. You can request a date from 1 week to 180 days ahead, but photographers may not be available in busy seasons, so we recommend booking early.
Yes. Please send an inquiry through our contact form in English with your preferred date and plan. We will reply by email and can also arrange an online consultation.

About 2–3 weeks after your photo day, your photos are uploaded to an online gallery. We send you the URL and login details by email, and you can download the JPEG files.
