I personally have a bad experienced with taiwan photo shoots. The name of the shop was Ya Tai wedding studio. We signed a package with them at suntec city. As usual taiwaness are always so friendly and of course very good at sales talk and 'sweet talk'.
When we arrived, that is when our nightmare began. First we thought all is included when we made the payment in Singapore. Unfortunately there is a lot of hidden cost involved. Rental of cars, make up artist following you for outdoor shoots, pay extra if go futher up north etc...Finally its time to choose photos and they schedule two hours before our departure to airport.
From the 300+ photos we can only choose 40 (even they agreed to give us 80 when we signed up the package in singapore). But the sales people are always flying around for exibitions. They are nowhere to be found, so they claim.
After two hours we choose 140 photos and additional 100 photos we have to pay S$2000. This is not inclusive of the S$3000 that was being paid earlier.
In the plane we started to do our simple mathematics. We spent over S$5000 just on wedding photos. In singapore we can get a very good package plus actual wedding day things.
So we called them the day we arrived and told them we only want the 40 photos. However they said they already sent for editing and we have to pay S$600 for editing fees. Moreover we cannot get back the negative that was being edited. So how do we know you have edited?
After many ding dongs, we decided not to pay them a single cents and take it as a hoilday to taiwan.
From then on we have broadcasted this incident to friends, relatives and also over the internet as a wanring for those that intend to sign up any package from taiwan.
All the best to your wedding shoots.
