Hi All,
Just came back from my photoshoot in Kaohsiung and Taipei.... Very tiring.... Overall experience is still very good. Below is the short review on the staffs....
Cang Ai Kaohsiung: (Customer Service is very good and everyone there are very courteous, very professional)
Gowns: Average for me, cos somehow I can only have pure white gowns due to some Feng Shui.... The gowns for the actual day is really much much better than the photography ones... Kaohsiung ones are better I can say... Taipei one limited.... Maybe also cos I didn't look at any of the white gowns as all are not pure white....
MUA in Kaohsiung: Mine is Zi Yi. (李姿儀) I can say she is a very detailed person.... My eyes are the hardest to do, and she patiently does it..... She ensures that it is not one big and one small and the eyes are enhanced.... It is very natural and nice.... Her skills are good, hairstyling also not bad. She will pick the accessories that are suitable for me... and prepare things before the actual day shooting. Very nice....
Photographer in Kaohsiung: Tony Huang.... (Dunno how to write the chinese name) He is very particular about our posing... I can say the photos are nice.... Very nice pose for both of us cos I am not slim but he made me look slim... He got very high expectations on us.. which we have a hard time accommodating to his requests of posing.... sometimes got reprimanded alittle.... But it is still good for a strict photographer to make you look nice.... Goos skills he has..... Scenaries wise maybe due to time constraint and the weather, didn't really managed to get the very magnificant photos.....
Photography Assistant: Ah Yan... No namecard, but remember his name... He is also very professional... Very helpful to both the groom and the bride.... As bride's gowns are usually long, he will pay extra attention and go extra mile to let you walk at ease with no worries. He will also guide you the way to the places that you are taking photo with.... Making it easier to walk for both bride and groom. My boy, he used the frame without the lens so he couldn't see, he will point out the way for him, so we are very grateful.
Gown selection staff: Nina Huang & another lady.. They are very helpful to select the gowns for the bride, very patient.... They will choose nice gowns for you to choose, you can say what kind you like and the colour and they will try their best to help you out. Don't worry if you can't find any nice ones off the rack, they have more in their storeroom I suppose and they will show you if you would like to try....
Cang Ai Taipei: (Customer Service is very good and everyone there are very courteous, very professional)
Gowns: Not too much as compared to Kaohsiung, but anyway managed to get one out of the many... I will really prefer the banquet ones... But too bad, not for choosing.....
MUA in Taipei: 李松真.... She is very good too, very professional... Make up all very nice too.... she is also quite detailed... paying attention of how what you like and what will suit you... Will make brides very pretty and happy.... She is very fun-loving too... Very chatty..... At least you won't be bored in the progress of the make up.
Photographer in Taipei: 粘宗豪.... I think he should be good at photo taking too.... But then I think he might be too tired for all the photos he got to take.... I didn't especially enjoy the experience, cos I think I look super fat with double chin in the photos.... He didn't really ask us to pose nicely... Maybe he is just particular about the scenaries or so..... Photography angle wise like very normal, nothing too special, so I hope if you get him in future, tell him what you want, and maybe you need to ask him to point out for the poses. Anyway the venue we took at, it is still nice, just that the background or the props are dirty here and there.. So can't expect too much.... But maybe after more editing, we will look nice in the photos.
Gown Selection Staff: Can't remember her name... She is good, very helpful in getting the gowns for the bride to choose, but then you need to be very particular what you really want then she could be helpful to choosing the correct piece for you... If not it might not be something that you really like.... So be precise of what you want... It will make their job easier...
Photography Staff: Ah Bao & Allen.... They are both very young... Very good and helpful..... They will help you with your bags and the tidy the bride's gown and the groom's just to make them look neat...... I remember one instance where my nubra was alittle visible, Ah bao helped by informing me to hide it.... Allen is alittle new so not all the things he is attentive or experienced enough.... But he is of great help to the groom, he helps with his bag and also help to shelter us on the day when it was raining.. So he is still very good.. Keen to learn new stuffs too....
Overall experience with them are still very good... Hopefully on the actual day for me next year, it will be perfect that new gowns are in for me to choose and they will prepare some nice pure white gowns for me.... Wish it will be smooth then what designs and all the rest to my preference....
