Authentic, Emotional, and Uniquely Us
My husband and I chose Vivian because her portfolio stood out from every other photographer we looked at. Her photos didn't feel staged or like the same template repeated for every couple. They felt real. You could see genuine emotions, reactions, and the atmosphere of the day, and that was exactly what we wanted captured.
Working with Vivian was an amazing experience from start to finish. She wasn't just our photographer—she became a valuable part of our wedding journey. She provided so many helpful tips and insights, not only about photography but about wedding planning in general. It was obvious that she genuinely loves what she does, and that passion shows in every interaction.
One thing that really stood out was how much effort she put into getting to know us as people. Through detailed questionnaires and in-depth conversations, she took the time to understand who we were as a couple and what mattered most to us. Because of that, our photos feel uniquely ours rather than a generic wedding gallery.
I'm an extreme introvert and the type of person who actively avoids being in front of a camera whenever possible. Posing for photos has never felt natural to me. However, Vivian made me feel comfortable almost immediately. Her guidance was easy to follow, she kept everything fun and relaxed, and our pre-wedding session ended up being something I genuinely enjoyed rather than something I simply had to get through.
She was also incredibly flexible. We customized parts of her package to better suit our needs, including replacing a traditional engagement session with a pre-wedding shoot since we had already taken engagement photos overseas. She worked with us to create something that fit our story instead of forcing us into a preset package.
On the wedding day, everything felt like a blur. I was nervous, overwhelmed, and honestly spent most of the day looking at my groom just to stay calm. When we received our photos, I was amazed by how much Vivian had captured—so many moments, details, reactions, and perspectives that I completely missed while living through the day. Looking through the gallery felt like experiencing our wedding all over again.
I had complete confidence after our pre-wedding session that I would love the final photos, and Vivian exceeded those expectations. She has a remarkable ability to tell a story through her images and capture authentic emotions from not only the couple, but also family and friends.
Most importantly, Vivian never felt like just another vendor. By the end of the process, she felt like someone we were genuinely honoured to have at our wedding. She blended in so naturally that she felt more like a guest who cared deeply about our day than someone simply hired to do a job.
To any bride or groom who is on the fence about booking her: she is worth every dollar. If you want a photographer who truly cares about authenticity, who takes the time to understand who you are as individuals and as a couple, and who can preserve those emotions in a way that feels genuine and timeless, book Vivian.
Having Vivian as our photographer was absolutely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
