Taiwan Pre-Wedding Photo Experience

13 June; we fly from Singapore to Taiwan by Jetstar! Here we begin our 3D4N of wedding photoshoot in taiwan! The bridal studio that we engage is Bvlgari Wedding Flagship Shop in Taichung, Taiwan.


Once we landed, we travel from Taoyuan to Taichung by the High Speed Rail (HSR) where the ppl from the bridal place pick us up and brought us down to the bridal studio! 

Doggie @ the studio! 

There, the first step is to select our outfit. 6 outfit each, both Stanley and me! We start of by getting Stanley measured for his standard white and black suit. And also his white shirt. 

White inner-shirt and black pants

White suit.

Seeing Stanley in his black suit kinda made me cry as he was so good-looking in it and it kinda reassure that he is the one. Awwww. Love love love. 

After Stanley had his measurement done, it is my turn to get into various gowns and find those i like.

White gown! 

Love it! 

It is good that during photoshoot you try on different style, especially if you are given many outfit so that the photos have more variety. So yup with a leap of faith i took on various style and was pleasantly surprise that i can pull off some style which i never ever thought i will!

After selecting the outfits, we move on to select the location we want to head to for the photoshoot, we decided on a wedding plaza at 末内! Then the bridal person sent us to out hotel. We checked in rest and head to the night market for dinner and shopping! 

Before we sleep a list of things to follow!

Most impt sleep well!


14 June: We got up early and was picked up by the bridal person for make up! 

Too early! 

While, I am doing my make up, Stanley got the rest of his outfit to match the gowns and dresses i chosed! So yup sadly guys dont really get to choose much they kinda just compliment the ladies! 

Stanley had his make up too! 

Done! 
Wear a button shirt so that you dont kill the make up while changing! 

All done! Us.

After finishing the make up, we travel for 1hrs 30min to our destination! Once there the action begin! We had a nice group of ppl following us and taking care of us. And we took some behind the scene picture! So here are some sneaks of what goes on behind! 

2nd Outfit! 

With the assistance and the make-up artist (MUA)! 

Me putting on my heels! 

Doing his hair! Punk Style! 

By the time we finish the photoshoot we were both dead tired! Taking photo and being the model for the day is tough job, especially for the ladies! 90% of the time you are the main lead, and guys are the side piece that just fit in nicely after you posed. 

After the shoot, we went for dinner! Finally food! Been starving to be skinny! hahaha kind of. We had Teppanyaki and it was really tasty! 

The Chef! 

After dinner, we were sent back to our hotel where we look for a salon to get out hair washed. Then we got back to the hotel to rest! Of cos the night ended with more night market and shopping! 

15 June: we walk around taichung city, chilling and simply doing nothing! Was great to rest the day after the photoshoot! Walking and just enjoying each others company!

Chilling @ 7-11


Railway Station!


16 June: The day arrive for us to select photos and see the product of our photoshoot! We spent like half a day selecting all the photos! We are very disciplined people so did not add much! We know it is the memories that count!

Ok, some sneak preview! Not edited, all raw from their screen!



Our fav Pic! 

Overall, the experience in taiwan was great, we had lots of fun during the shoot! Bvlgari was a good host and our 4D3N there was wonderful! We know that in the end, this experience will follow us and we will always remember our time here! So thanks Bvlgari! =)

10 Tips for Preparing Overseas Pre-Wedding Photoshoot

We will be heading to Taiwan on 13 June for our wedding Photoshoot, the photoshoot package is one which we purchased 3 years ago. After much anticipation, the time is finally coming for us to head there!

So what to prepare before flying over? Here are 10 tips which we hope will be helpful for future brides and grooms!

1) Air Tickets
Buy early and look out for cheap deal online!

2) Accommodation
It is good to book early for this too so that you dont worry when u are there. However, also do find out as some hotels or minsu dont accept bookings that are too early. Will be good if you can get your bridal place in Taiwan to help you out. 90% of the time they are really helpful and always willing to help!

3) Know your style (both man and lady)
Know the type of dress style you like, look at others photoshoot and also magazine for inspirations. Search online for sample as well.
Also know the style of photos you like, some like very natural kind of photos, while for me i prefer it to be more bubbly and cute. Knowing your style allows you to prep whatever props you need for the shoot!

4) Facial & Ampoule
Go for facial at least 2 weeks before the shoot, so that if you have sensitive skin and all it give ur skin time to heal and you will be pretty and ready for the shoot. Guys can go for facial too. Stanley when for facial with me twice prior to the photoshoot. =) Bonding time and also pretty time!
DO NOT try any new product 1 week before the shoot.

Also bring your own Ampoule if you have! Else the bridal place will charge you extra for it. At about $25 per bottle.

5) Waxing and Nails
Ladies, if you need to wax do it a few day before. Also if you want your hands and nails to be featured you can do your nails a day or two before as well.

6) Hair
Wash your hair before the makeup in the morning but do not use any hair mask or conditioner as you may have problem holding certain hairstyle. Also it is good to have longer hair so that it give them more to do with your hair. more style. So if you need to trim do so at least a month before!

7) Underwear
Bring a pair of Nu-bra, try to go with nude colour for all! Wear seamless underwear, nude colour too!



8) Props
Know the props you need or want; things that is of significant to you both and also discuss with the bridal place to see what props they have. Bring along stuff that u want to capture in the photos as well! Like wooden letters, hearts, chalkboard or so on!





9) Shoes 
Ladies bring flats that is comfy for long dresses, and nice heels for short dresses. 
Men bring a pair of black leather shoe, bridal places usually provide white shoes, but do check before hand! 

10) Clothes
Ladies wear a front button shirt for the makeup session. 

Also if your package dont give you a lot of outfit, you may want to bring some casual wear! But if you have 6 outfit each (bride & groom) like us, then you dont need to! =) 

Hope this 10 tips help in your preparation for the photoshoot and lastly, it is the memories made that will make the day special, so go there, have fun and go with an open mind!
