PWS IN CHINA 🇨🇳

Finally got our hands on the final works of our PWS Pictures that we took in April this year!

Definitely worth the price and time taking your PWS in China as our package included

- Airport pickup ✈️

- 3 days 2 night hotel stay

- lunch for Shoot day

- fresh flowers

- 4 gowns and 4 suit each

- 40 edited photos

it’s definitely so much cheaper compared to taking your PWS in SG!

Here’s the best part- if you would like to add on edited photos it only costs 100 yuan per picture which is equivalent to ~$20SGD per pic.

Heard from my friends who did their PWS in SG years back that it costs around ~$100SGD per pic for add on😱

💰 Package Price: 8,999 yuan (~$1,655SGD)

Overall Experience Rating /⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: 8.5/10

Do let me know if you have other places in the world to recommend for PWS spots 🫶🏻

If you're considering a pre-wedding shoot in China, it's helpful to explore different locations based on your style preferences. For example, Yunnan offers breathtaking natural scenery perfect for a romantic and earthy feel, while Guangzhou and Shenzhen provide vibrant urban backdrops for modern-themed shoots. Local guide programs can be invaluable to help you navigate and find hidden gem spots. Many photographers in China specialize in minimalist and creative photography styles, allowing you to capture intimate moments authentically without overwhelming props or setups. Additionally, street style pre-wedding shoots have gained popularity for couples who want a casual yet chic vibe to their photos, incorporating local culture and architecture naturally. When selecting your package, pay attention to what’s included—like gowns, suits, and edited photos. Some studios offer a good number of free edits, and if you want more, their rates can be surprisingly affordable compared to other regions. For instance, this review mentions add-on photos at only about $20 SGD each, much lower than prices in Singapore. Finally, don’t hesitate to ask your photographer about their previous work or stylistic influences. Photographers inspired by creatives like Grayce Tan or vintage aesthetics from places like Hong Kong often bring unique flair to the shoot. Ultimately, the best pre-wedding shoot is one that reflects your personality and creates lasting memories, all while staying within your budget.
