Reviews

This was a really great experience! Wasn't really sure what to expect and even on the the day I wasn't really feeling it as the weather looked unhelpful. Turn out that the light levels were perfect and Chai did a great job of getting the group of us together and engaged! Thank you very much Chai, so cool to have this all captured!

I can highly recommend Chai as your wedding photographer. It was so reassuring to know he was there. He captured so many special moments of our day, even interactions between family and friends that we wouldn't otherwise have known about. He also designed the most beautiful photo album for us that will be treasured forever. Super professional and high quality with a touch of humour and calm presence. Perfect.

Extremely impressed with Chai and his skills. We were all done in about 40 minutes and the photos are natural, free flowing and perfectly set up and lit. He's an artist. Thank you Chai.

Chai is a highly skilled and professional photographer who is also fun to work with. His pictures are natural and captivating, thanks to his natural ability to create a relaxed and playful atmosphere. I have worked with many photographers in the past, and Chai is one of the best.
