My wife and I loved having Tina shoot the wedding. I was in charge of hiring the photographer (with my wife's approval) and we were both blown away by how everything turned out. Sh...
e hired out a second photographer to help her cover the entire event and definitely pulled it off.
Tina mostly handled the main stuff with my wife and I and our parties/families, while her assistant did the guests and more "candid" shots. Tina definitely kept us on schedule, but was never pushy. In fact, she was really good-natured and professional.
The day went by fast, but we're so happy that we'll be able to look at Tina's work forever. We couldn't be happy how everything turned out!
I took a really long time deciding if I should write this review because I hate saying anything negative, but in the end I realized that I wish I would have read something like thi...
s before booking Tina for my wedding. I let Tina know about my feelings right after the wedding, but she didn't do anything to remedy the situation.
The two biggest problems I had were:
1. I paid extra money for two photographers so nothing would get missed. Instead of using the second photographer to make sure all the details were captured, both photographers were trying to shoot the same things and ended up in a TON of the photos during the Ketubah signing and the hora where two photographers were not needed! I had to spend hours trying to crop the photographers out of frames and had to delete a ton of photos because there was no way to crop them. I have never seen this in anyone's wedding photos before and I have been in more weddings than I can count. Everyone who has looked at the album is shocked by this.
2. Many details and moments weren't captured. I paid extra money for 10 hours so there would be time to capture everything. Tina helped me put together the timeline, but the entire day seemed rushed! We barely got any bridal party photos and the ones we got didn’t turn out great. We have no good group shots of the groomsmen for our album. I don't have detail photos of the boutonnieres, bride and bridesmaid bouquets, welcome signs, special floral details, finalized ceremony setup, interior and exterior shots of the venue. I spent a lot of my time making sure the wedding details were perfect, but now I will never be able to remember them.
Maybe this was an off night, but almost a year later I am still left with regret. I had a gorgeous wedding with some of the best vendors, but I don't have the photos needed to make a complete wedding album - I still haven't made one.
Tina Chiou is a wonderful photographer! I have known her work for many years and was so excited to have her shoot my engagement & wedding day. She has an excellent eye and really k...
nows how to work with couples that haven't spent much time in front of a camera.
She understood well what look I was hoping to achieve and had great pointers to help us feel less awkward in front of the camera. I also loved that she took so many photos and everything was sent digital files, no having to figure out which ones to print and in what sizes (it was really important that we had a LOT of photos to choose from.
I would absolutely recommend her again and again!
Tina Chiou is a phenomenal photographer!! She perfectly captured our black tie wedding. She walked around before hand and found all the areas for pictures to make sure we didn't wa...
ste any time looking for picturesque settings. She was quick, very well priced and always had a smile on her face. Her eye is unbeatable.
