Hi BTB
My HTB and I booked our PS package in a wedding show in Oct with Maggie from Bluebay. Other than the package inclusions and pricing, we decided to book from them because there is a branch in Singapore and makes coordination easier. Also, their HQ is in Taipei where we want the photoshoot to take place. There are some Taiwan bridal shops which has branch in JB or HQ in Taichung.
We went to Bluebay office in Orchard Towers in Nov and Maggie planned the itinerary for us.
Day 1 Arrival in Taipei and proceed to the bridal shop for gowns and route selection. As it was raining for the past few days, they pre-empted us that we will not get the blue sky and white cloud kind of pictures which we wanted initially. So, instead of going to the costal areas, we change our plan to go to a Children Amusement Park, Yang Ming Shan and a farm which has different settings for PS e.g.chapel, boat in a river, swing etc. The lady who assisted me with the gowns selection (oops....I forgot her name)is extremely helpful and patient. She also analyzed for us which location to wear which gown so that the gown will not be overshadowed

Day 2. PS. MUA - Xiao Can, Photographer - Da Xiong, Assistant - Xiao Yi. All of them are super wonderful! It is extremely important to have your MUA to be with you throughout the PS. I had 5 different hair do to match my gowns
. Da Xiong is very good in catching us in our most natural pose and Xiao Yi is always ready with my coat when the phototaking stopped. The temperature is around 15 degrees and I'm in off shoulder gowns.....cooooolddddd.
Day 3-4. Free & Easy.
Day 5. Photos selection. The photos turned out very nice and we love it!!!! Lawrence gave us his advice and leave it to us to make decision on the photos selection. He is not pushy at all unlike some of the bridal shops which will persuade you until you agree to add lots of photos in addition to the package.
In addition, they also explained the timeline on album completion clearly and encourage us to send them emails when we have any doubts.
Before we take our PS, we heard from our friends that it will be a very tiring day. However, due to efficient and professional services rendered by BlueBay, we don't feel tired and in fact we enjoyed ourselves so much that we kept talking about it though we are back from the shoot for a month now
