I am wondering if anyone used White Day for pre-wedding or wedding photography before? How do you like their pictures/service?

Also, how much did you pay? The price they quoted me for 14 hour wedding day package (not including pre-wedding) is more than $5K including album, make up, and wedding gown etc., but someone in another LYK thread said it only costs $1,500 for 14 hours with two photographer.  I wonder why the difference is so big.

I was planning to purchase their pre-wedding + wedding package, cuz it will be much cheaper than going to TW + having another photographer for the wedding day (e.g. Hee Creations, Sakura etc).  I do like Hee Creation's style, but White Day seems not bad given the package price.

As many of you girls mentioned, getting married is really costly and I try to manage my budget to a reasonable range without sacrificing much quality.

Any advise would be appreciated! Thank you so much!

$1500 for 14 hours I think is for photography ONLY (maybe with some DVD plus a few prints)...but no album, no wedding gown, no make up.

i don't know much about white day. but be careful about the 14 hour wedding day package part. make sure you check with them how many photographers will be there on your wedding day. i assume they have 2?

i think the other lyk posts about the $1500 for 14 hrs with 2 photographers is just the photo. nothing else. where as yours includes the gowns and makeup and stuff.

congrats and good luck to you
作者: kiki003    時間: 2010-3-25 21:24

Thanks so much fibbi and raima!

Yes, I thought the $1,500 only include photographers too, but it seems a big premium for the album, wedding gown, make up etc.  Anyway, I will ask more about it and make sure it includes 2 photographers!

    Album could be expensive la... In some places, renting wedding gown could be $300 up. Makeup on its own could be $300 or up as well....

And yeah...congrats!

Huh? $1500 for photogs only and $5000 with other accessories/services......... seems like they have problem make up their prices. But $5000 makes more sense to me.
作者: siumaibb    時間: 2010-3-26 09:39

congrats!

you should check out their photo samples & quality. different photographer/studio got different style, pick the one you like most, not the cheapest or the best value one. it is not 買菜, it is your ONCE IN A LIFE TIME (at least with this guy) experience.
Spending few thousands for photographs might sounds crazy but 30 years later still enjoying the photo is priceless.

"""14 hour wedding day package (not including pre-wedding) is more than $5K including album, make up, and wedding gown etc"""

album - you should take a look of the sample?  how many dresses are included?  make-up for how many people?  
i think you need to sum up the total of everything
作者: KittyLeung74    時間: 2010-3-26 13:40

check carefully.  Hee Creations and Whiteday are carrying different ways of shooting.  You can see from their photos, and find that Hee captures the movement, rather than the portrait.  It's up to what you want.  
恭喜!
作者: khaki    時間: 2010-3-26 14:19

Congrats! Have you checked on White Day's dresses? I have no comment on their photos since none of my friends have hired them before but I have seen 2 brides who rented their dresses, they don't hem the dresses, so one of them canceled the rental and the other one gotta wear a 4-inch white 鬆高鞋 where she is already ~5'5". Hope things changed.

BTW that sounds unreasonable +$3600 to get gowns, makeup and album?

作者: kiki003    時間: 2010-3-26 16:52

Thanks everyone for your advise.  Yes, I agree with all of you.  

I checked out White Day's album already. My friend is using them in July for their wedding day photos.  I like their album/style - very sweet and warm.  Hee is more "capturing the moment" as KittyLeung74 suggested.  Of course I need to choose something I like. Not that I am treating this as 買菜, but I guess the question is whether I am willing to pay the premium for a 90% vs 100% satisfaction.  Don't know if it makes sense.  To all girls, do you really prefer a perfect wedding and everything to be the best???  Or are you willing to make some compromise for budgeting or other issues?  I really don't know.  I guess it doesn't really matter if your parents will pay the bills for you.  But for people who pay for the wedding themselves, what are your thoughts?  I am just curious.....

Also, I like the fact that White Day provides other services like wedding gown, tuxedo, make up etc so I don't need to search around.  But I guess after I check out more places (like Hee and others), I may change my mind

khaki, Yes, my friend tried out a few wedding gowns and it looked fabulous on her.  I think they do alterations but not 100% sure.  My friend was pretty short (5") but it seems OK on her.  

Again, thanks everyone for your input and good wishes!

    Of course in the perfect world, I want (as the bride) everything to be PERFECT and THE BEST! It's "once a life time" thing. But in reality, with limited resources, I have to compromise. I guess, just what you like to prioritize? If say out of all the wedding items, you value pictures the most, then you splurge on pictures and lower the budget on something else (say honeymoon, or use home brew wine instead of getting from wine store) etc..Or ask friend to take video instead of hiring someone....etc etc...

that's how I see it....

but there's a psychological effect involved

when they pay $5000, they feel much better and think that the photos are really good, even though they might just be the same quality as $1500 ones or worse.

think about it, if they all have good eyes, those incompetent photographers would not have survived till today

to me, you can just find a friend with a relatively good pair of eyes
fly him or her to argentina or some exotic beach for a weekend

you can get very amazing photos for 3-4k

"To all girls, do you really prefer a perfect wedding and everything to be the best???  Or are you willing to make some compromise for budgeting or other issues?"

i think i would compromise. even if you pay more, you can't guarantee it'll be "perfect." if you do decide to go with the $5k package over the $1500 package, you will expect more from $5k for sure. but is it worth the money??? well... it's hard to say. you will need to do your research.

a lot of the pre-wedding packages include wedding gown and 1 evening gown (you can check if they will allow you to swap the evening gown for a tux if you have your own evening gown) for the wedding day as well. so if you have that kind of pre-wedding package, and you pick the $1500 wedding day photo (no album nor dvd), then you'll have to look for hair and makeup for your wedding day separately. hair and makeup for the bride only will cost you like $200-$400. so that can be a big difference.

try to save where you can. a few hundred dollars here and there will easily add up a few thousand dollars....

The judgment of beauty is subjective. But the company's reputation, experience, background, back ups, after sale service, personality, whether they had been late or no show.... etc are all facts that a new couple might also need to consider. Rather than solely looking at the price tag itself.

Not to offend anyone, but sometimes not because of people don't have good eyes to judge, but every couple has their own budget to plan for wedding. The wedding day only last for one day or two, even some couples are rich doesn't mean they should/will spend big money on that day. Perhaps they rather spend millions on their honeymoon or monster house instead.

Congrats Kiki~~

我覺得perfect 唔 perfect 係你自己覺得者~~ 唔需要介意其它人既想法既~~ 最重要係你同你另一半afford唔afford 得到~ 因為當你為左搞一個wedding而到最後要借錢或欠債...你覺得值唔值得?? 我同老公結婚時都係自己出錢既~ 一來結婚係我地兩個人既事...既然要搞婚禮擺酒當然自己俾番錢啦~~ 而且唔想用家人既錢...(又唔係D咩有錢人家)

另外﹐雖然結婚係要洗好多錢~但係如果兩個人一齊出錢出力應該都可以應付到丫~~ 我唔係好贊成結婚一定要男友出錢~(雖然我有幾個朋友都係覺得女家唔應該出錢)......

至於影婚紗相~ 我覺得你應該上網睇下你想要邊種style~~ 等決定邊種style後, 再去鋪頭睇下價錢同質素~ 質素高既當然會貴D啦~ 但你可以選擇一D價錢係within你既budget而質素又不錯既公司~~ (有D 公司賣得貴但質素亦未見得好得去邊...所以四周圍睇下~格下價) 最緊要係你地鐘意~ !

我覺得pre-wedding photo + wedding day photo 唔 "haan"得架~~ 你可以係decoration, flowers, little gifts, banquet etc..to save money~~  但wedding pics好有紀念價值架~~ 你將來大D羅番出黎睇好正架~~ 係一個很好既回憶﹗ 所以係選擇make up artist..photographer.. gowns... & 一間好既wedding company 係好重要﹗

總之﹐我覺得你應該要將每樣結婚要籌備既野都set一個budget出黎~ 再衡量如何從你的budget入面揀D你地又滿意又值得既野出黎~~ *hope u understand what i mean la =P*
作者: tequila    時間: 2010-3-26 23:51

everyone's view of their wedding is different... other than the photography, make-up, gown that is important, i think the banquet hall and the flowers are important too... but just really need to think what is important to you and work from there
作者: kiki003    時間: 2010-3-27 12:19

Well, I think it is impossible to find a $1,500 nowadays in Vancouver, if quality is a factor.  That's why I was very curious when tequila mentioned $1,500 for White Day.  The package I was thinking at White Day was actually $7K including pre-wedding + wedding pictures.  I think it is very reasonable with album, wedding gown and stuff.

If I do it separately, it will cost about $10K, without wedding gown (e.g. White Day for pre-wedding + independent photographer for wedding).  Actually, other than Hee, I am thinking about
http://lightphoria.com/photography/

This photographer is located in Seattle when I live in right now.  I absolutely like his style. My friend took engagement pictures with him and they look soooooo nice.  But the only thing is you know for western style engagement photos, most people wear causally, but my fiance and I like the TW style with full make up and a few wedding/evening dress etc.  

But in this case, we will have to spend $10K at least on the photos alone, and we both really think it is excessive.

作者: khaki    時間: 2010-3-27 12:39

Or you can follow the trend here... fly to TW or HK and take pre-wedding, then hire another photographer to do wedding. 小叻's pre-wedding is very pretty ga =P
作者: bonbon    時間: 2010-3-27 13:39

i agree with 小叻 too...i am doing my wedding planning as well...and i also took the pre-wedding photos in TW, and bought all the accessories including wedding gown while I was in HK.....that total cost was around 10K.....so it really depends what you are looking for and if you have the time to go back for your photos...the pre-wedding photos in TW are so much nicer than here (in my opinion)...so just decide what you wanna do and start planning from there......

have fun planning and Congrats!!

    I do think you can have a decent pre-wedding pictures in $5K done locally with album, big picture frame, signing mat, and thank you card etc.... And then say another 2K for wedding day pictures. And the pre-wedding package usually comes with wedding gown for your wedding day as well. So I do think 7K you can have pictures if done seperately. Plus $500 wedding gown rental, and perhaps $500 wedding day makeup. Just another option for you la.
作者: Nam    時間: 2010-3-27 22:03

I went to White Day to check out their dresses, their rental is quite expensive.
I think average is about 1100 - 1300 depends on the dress...

Not sure if you are considering buying a wedding gown, I randomly went to a bridal store on Columbia.  I didn't find the store appealing from outside but still decided to give it a try.

Ended up they have huge selection and they are doing 50% promotion right now.
The gown I like is $1,699 and it's a size 20 but they said they can do alternation for me for $165 flat rate .  No special order though.  It has to be anything on the rack..

如果你有時間~ 我通常建議朋友選擇到台灣影婚照~~ 一來價錢平~二來D景好靚~~

溫哥華D景其實都好靚...但係依到既婚紗公司好少好似台灣甘周圍出去影外景...來來去去其實都係平時出街自己去到既景點 (ex. QE Park, Minoru chapel, stanely park, Main Library..etc) 而且如果你想多影外景...價錢會越貴﹗普遍本地既婚紗公司鐘意影內景..有D仲係係室內求其影完再係電腦配個背景入去~ 個價錢同result唔係甘值囉~ (純屬個人意見) 但係如果係台灣影..通常佢地會包車帶你周圍影(由早上10點到晚上8點再由九點影內景到11點)  而且景點係你自己揀架~﹗

我影既時候我既攝影師超好好人又細心 (女仔黎既)~ 佢同我地前前後後去左7-8個地方﹐外景加埋起碼有十幾個~~ 而且好特別..你平時好難影到架~ 而且係台灣影都係around CAD$1500左右 (pkg include: 43pics 24x30 pic frame, 18" & 12" 既水晶相本, Signature Roll, thank you card, 5 Bride's dress , 2 Groom's gown) 當然加相另計啦~~ 如果你揀D名氣少D既公司會更平~~係溫哥華要依D package仲要有質素~起碼都要CAD$4000 以上啦~~ 而且外景少好多~~

另一去台灣影相既優點係可以去埋旅行~ 如果選擇stop over 香港仲可以買定D結婚用品﹐姊妹衫﹐請帖...etc (價錢又係平過係溫哥華好多~~) 計下計下條數都係番到啦~~ XD

至於到時係Vancouver結婚再請wedding day photographer...有平有貴~ 平既可能真係一千二千蚊左右~ 貴既亦可以成四千蚊不等~~都係視乎你自己既budget~ 至於租衫~ 如果你係香港或中國買到D又arm心水又便宜既gowns都好~ 如果唔係係vancouver 租都得~~ 我覺得巴黎春天既婚紗/晚禮服真係不錯~~ (嘿嘿~我晌個度租架~~) 而且化妝set頭順便搵埋mindy 啦~~

it does save alot if you can do most of the things from asia. like wedding favors, invites,  bridesmaid dresses, custom make ur own gowns etc etc. and since their pre-wedding photography is cheaper, i was thinking i might take pre-wedding in hk/tw when i go back to hk the end of this yr with my fiance

至於影相, 我都同意響HK同台灣影一般係靚同平過呢度, 但其實你呢度揾D好出名既西人影都係講緊幾百蚊,(我覺得)係好靚都好personalized既
講真我自己都響台灣影架, 我都而家仲覺得好靚, 但呢一兩年個個都去, 講真來來去去幾個境, 已經唔再0羊0甘特別, 我唔知你想要0羊, 但除左呢個option, 而家都好流行攝影師帶同化妝師組團去外國影, 而且所有soft copies比返你, 唔使逐張相買, 都唔錯架, 價錢都唔算話好貴, 同你響呢度影差唔多

我已經同Sophia Ritz 落咗定,做咗好耐research, 好似最穩陣係Sophia,因為佢哋啲禮服出名,但又掘角對方青譁攝影總監,which 青譁出名相靚,所以我忍痛花多1晚台幣指定要王里大師!

    Yeah...material is important....so as CUTTING! IMO....it's easy to copy the style but cutting is harder to "copy" and it could make big difference. So I would prefer buy the one already made. I did order clothing (not wedding gown though) from Canton and even I said exactly that style, I don't feel like that when I got the final product. Maybe I'm just bad luck...anyway, just my 0.02 cents la...

For those of you who have taken pre-wedding pictures in TW, mind if I ask which company did you go to? Especially 小叻 , can you tell me where did you get your pics done?

My fiance and I are planning to go to TW for pre-wedding pics.. but we have never been to TW before (we're from HK)..
I've researched some companies in TW but seems like Masalili is the only one that offers 'packages' including hotels... since we have never been to TW before we're thinking that's probably the most hassel-free place to go to? Anyone been there before? or any other good suggestions?

我個髮形師係極力推介masallili,因為佢係from 個度,不過,最近上 very web 爬文,好似有人賴野,但overall, 我覺得台中啲境靚過台北!

小叻同我都揀咗蘇菲雅,我覺得睇咗咁多review,好似依間最穩陣!

我起初都俾masalili 個包酒店既package 吸引,但諗深層,依啲係一世人一次,點都係相行頭,酒店最多上網抄,睇吓有咩酒店好!

Thanks, 小叻. If I decided to go to Sophia to take pre-wedding pictures, I will go to Sophia too. There are a lot of positive comments in Verywed.

bubu127, my friend took it at 青樺, another very famous wedding company in Taipei.  They looked absolutely fabulous in the pictures, like models.

    仲有間叫做曼克頓,台灣個朋友嘅朋友係個度影,都幾靚,但個人覺得唔夠突出,不過都係個人喜好,上網查過間野,啲reviews 都幾 positive 㗎!

Another reason I am backing off from taking pictures in TW is that my finance doesn't speak mandarin at all, and I think I can speak or understand 60%, so I think communication will be a problem for us hehehe   Another major reason we wanted to take pre-wedding pictures in Vancouver.

Btw, at 青樺, the make up and hair stylist was excellent.  My friend had long hair and she wanted to make a short-hair sytel (kinda a Kay Tse) so the hair stylist made it for her. She had like 4-5 dresses/style too.

I got a quote from both Sophia and 青樺 (I called their HK office). Bubu127, if you want, you can PM me.

其實剛開始我都係盲頭烏蠅~~咩都唔識~~ 幸好有位朋友介紹同埋比D資料我睇再幫我羅左個特惠package 咋~ 我去影完真係好happy架~ at least 影得我靚過平時啦~~ 嘿嘿~

Verywed 真係一個有好多相本sample既好地方~ 你打入台灣一些出名既婚紗公司~睇下邊一間你比較喜歡﹗ 通常較出名而有信譽+我又認同既有台北青樺/蘇菲雅麗緻。台中既Masalili也不錯~ 由於我本身喜歡自然一D既相﹐所以我比較喜歡台北青樺&蘇菲雅麗緻~ Masalili係比較雜誌Model feel D 既~ 真係要睇你個人喜好~

而且當你決定選用邊間後~ 你可以上去verywed 參考下其它新人既相﹐既住print shot 後print 出黎帶埋去台灣~用黎同攝影師溝通~ 就算你唔知道個D係咩地方﹐佢地一睇就知 & 佢地會識得點編個行程﹗ 而且亦可以從你所print既sample相中告知攝影師你喜愛既拍攝手法~~ *要做多D準備功夫先可以確保同攝影師溝通清楚~影出黎既相自己會合心水D啦~*

另外你唔洗擔心酒店或其它野架~ 台灣都係講國語者~ 國語唔點最多咪寫出黎~ 唔洗驚~ 你首先要睇下你咩月份去影相~ 唔同月份D風景好唔同架~ 之後去問價~ 再選攝影師~ 之後訂好啦再訂機票~ 來回台灣或stop over 既都ok~ 至於酒店~ 最易啦~上網訂又得~叫travel agent訂都得~ 都係個句~ 上網做下功課啦﹗

青樺  has good reputation..

I think 青樺  is famous for their photo quality, and Sophia is famous for the dresses...

However, if you are willing to pay 10K TWD extra, you can hire their top photographer which they 係青譁掘角過去,睇very web 啲女仔講,王里係青譁以前嘅攝影總監,候尾被sophia 掘角過去!

BTW, y如果有人上網search Sophia 要小心,我差啲中招,一定要 search Sophia RITZ 而唔係Sophia!

有間叫做sophia 皇室,價錢平過Sophia Ritz 好多,千期唔好認錯!

作者: bubu127    時間: 2010-3-29 23:15

wow thank you for all the info !!

I have lots of research to do again!! I agree masalili is more 'magazine' looking...  I got attracted to them at first because of their 'convenience package". My fiance and I don't have that many vacation days so we are restrained to do everything within 2 weeks.. in the meantime we still need to be in HK to get the misc wedding stuff done too...

so  in general how many days did you guys stay in TW to get the pics done? From what I've read in masalili's website they allow you to review the pictures the next day after the photoshoot and then they will mail all the pics and albums to whereever you live by Fedex...
Does Sophia and 青樺 have those services too??
作者: Nam    時間: 2010-3-29 23:16

訂埋造型師,我擔心出去時個妝會甩,兼想拍外景時想變做形嘛!都肉赤㗎,但我個package 算係咁啦,我大佢話我阿姨係灣仔會展落咗第二間定金,兼人哋個package 好好,所以佢即刻咩都有商量!

貴啲唔緊要,都係澳門政府俾錢!!!

化妝師我就無指定,上網個個都話佳如老師好,但又好多人話真正佳如無做,依㗎個佳如係另一個人!

台北好似得一間唔出名嘅細公司有包酒店,睇想幾靚兼好抵,但因為無聽過任何review,唔敢搏!

一般台灣影相係3日流程,第一日揀衫,試造型同攝影師溝通,第二日拍外景,第三日拍室內加揀相!
作者: Nam    時間: 2010-3-29 23:26

男友同我都係得兩個禮拜(may be 3 weeks for me) ,所以諗住係台北住五日就走!

依間新驛旅店係我上網search 度,咁岩台北個女仔朋友都介紹依間!

問過大嫂亞媽,佢話前店方便啲,加上網上話前店先係新店,後店係舊旅館重新裝修

As Nam said, 3 days enough for photo taking..but of coz..if weather is bad..i think somehow u can reschedule it..but I heard that once they reschedule..the time is shorter...

補充﹕Once you choose the pics..u can tell them that u want to wait till u are back to Canada sin edit pics~! remember..look closely on the hands/ garbages..unnecessary stuffs on the photos....and you can arrange your own 排版~ I personally like 滿版 style...means that all photos on ur album are full size..no border..and 我選左D橫相橫跨兩版紙﹗they will give u their 排版 look first, but I dun like it much..too much blank spacing..so I end up did my own 排版~!

Once u got everything confirmed... they will start making the album..etc~ once done, they will courier it via Fedex..i think.. I use my company courier account..so the shipping rate is cheap! I heard that from my other frd...fedex charges her around CAD$500 for the shipping cost (coz the album +frame very heavy)..I use TNT and cost 130 only.. so keep in mind that the pkg price doesn't include the courier cost yet! If you have relative in HK, u can ask Sophia to ship to HK and have ur relative to get it for u.. much cheaper!

你最緊要係book埋個助理隨行~ 她會幫你換衫改簡單髮型及補妝~﹗好好多架﹗
唔知隨行助理有無得指名既呢? 上次幫我既小燕既好~ 好細心的~

i got my pre-wedding photos done at Butterfly Green in TW.....they were great and i was very satisfy with the photos and everything...the make up and hair was great too....and they will mail the photo albums and everything to you too.....

其實睇吓妳個人鐘意咩Style, 講真我都有見過加拿大一啲靚相,好能夠捕捉到對情侶嘅甜蜜蜜,但我個人比例浮誇,覺得做咗一世便利貼,結婚我一定要影得自己好靚嘅相!

加上十年前係大陸俾人呃咗五百蚊人民幣,個輯相到今日我都唔敢俾人睇!勁恐怖,所以想俾補償俾自己嘅「童年陰影」!

攝影師既助手就有~ 隨行既助理要加錢~ 好似係TWD3000 左右~ 我係建議加既~ 因為我朋友影相個時唔小心跌左落水~ 好彩要左隨行助理~ 先可以繼續拍照咋~ 都係她建議我加既呢~~
同埋換衫時真係好麻煩~ 有個女仔幫下輕鬆好多~ 如果你唔揀隨行助理..通常化妝師會大概同攝影師助理講下點樣改下髮型/ 除便補下妝~

Hi all,
My Big Day will be on 2011July1st in Vancouver. I would like to invest a bit extra on wedding day photography and am planning to hire a crew with good reputation from Hong Kong. I feel more confident that these people would know better about the rundown of a Chinese wedding and are able to capture those important moments such as what to look for in a tea ceremony. I would like to know if there are people in Vancouver whose wedding days are close to mine / or who would like to take prewedding around that time so that we may be able to split the cost on flights and accommodation for this crew of 3 people.
