Why Couples Invest

Wedding photography isn't an expense — it's the only thing left when the music fades.

The flowers wilt. The cake gets eaten. The guests go home. But the photographs and films we deliver are the only artifacts of your wedding day that exist twenty years from now, sitting on your living room shelf or playing on your anniversary.

Our pricing reflects what it actually takes to do this well — full days of shooting, weeks of editing, premium gear, a working team of two to four professionals, and a deep care for every frame we hand back to you.

Pricing FAQ

Honest answers, upfront.

Why does wedding photography cost what it does?+
A typical wedding involves 8–10 hours of shooting, 30–40 hours of editing, weeks of culling and color-grading, premium gear, backup gear, insurance, and a working team of 2–4 professionals. The price you see covers the actual time and care it takes to deliver heirloom-quality work — not a markup on equipment.
Do you offer payment plans?+
Yes. A 30% retainer reserves your wedding date on our calendar. The remaining balance is split into milestone payments leading up to the wedding, with final payment due two weeks before your event. We accept Zelle, bank transfer, and major credit cards.
What's included in travel fees?+
Travel within 60 miles of Fairfax, VA is included in Essential and Signature collections (100 miles for Platinum). Beyond that radius, we provide a transparent travel quote — flights, accommodation, and rental for the full crew — billed at cost with no markup.
Can we customize a package?+
Absolutely. The three collections are starting points. Mix add-ons, remove what you don't need, or request a fully custom quote — we'll build a package that fits your wedding day and budget. Just include the details in your inquiry.
How far in advance should we book?+
We recommend booking approximately 13 months before your wedding date. Our calendar fills quickly, especially for peak season weekends in the DMV (May, June, September, October). Currently booking 2026 and 2027 weddings.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule?+
Life happens. Your retainer is non-refundable but fully transferable to a new date within 18 months — at no extra fee. We've never charged a couple for moving a wedding due to weather, family emergency, or unforeseen circumstances.
Do you photograph Vietnamese and multicultural weddings?+
Yes — Kevin and Vinh are bilingual in English and Vietnamese, and we've photographed dozens of Vietnamese tea ceremonies, multicultural fusion weddings, and traditional Catholic + Buddhist ceremonies across the DMV.
When will we get our photos and video?+
Sneak peek photos within 24 hours, your 1-minute teaser video within 48 hours, full edited galleries within 6–8 weeks, and your highlight film within 10–12 weeks. Heirloom albums (Platinum collection) ship 4–6 weeks after gallery delivery.
A note from the studio

When you book us, you're not buying a service — you're commissioning a memory.

My team and I shoot every wedding like it's the only one we'll do that month. We're not the cheapest in the DMV, and we're not trying to be. What we promise is presence — fully there for you, fully there for the moment, and fully responsible for handing back something your grandchildren will hold in their hands one day.

If our pricing feels right and our work resonates with you, we'd love to hear your story.
