Same coordinator as you, Kelly-jie.

Hello Jenne,

thanks for your compliment!
bout the location:

1st photo: da tun hua yuan

2nd photo: National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall (just opposite IVY BRIDE)

3rd photo: somewhere near Yangmingshan National Park

Most of my photos are taken around Yangmingshan National Park. Basically all the locations i went were crowded with couples for their pre-wedding photo shoot. So was a bit upset initially BUT the photos turned excellent.

after i got back i went online to view other couples' pre-wedding photo shoot.
i find that the flowers at ¸»Ìﻨˆ@Þrˆö are nicer, so maybe you can suggest that location to IVY BRIDE?

i suggest that u go online and look at other couples' pre-wedding photos. Take note of those which u like, if possible print them out and bring them over to IVY BRIDE. The photographer will definitely know where the locations are. Or you can tell the photographer what do you want to feature in your photos (beside your HTB & U) e.g. for us we prefer the blue sky and sunset. So we got a few series of photos with the sunset and blue sky as background.

IVY BRIDE has a section of their homepage dedicated to the completed album of their clients. U can go there and see see. Buzz me if you can not find the link

fOR James,
apologies. i will be busy this weekend. Do U mind if i send the email next week?

 

[winter27]

a qns to ask...

for those tt took they p[re wedding shoots in taiwan, how u get back ur albums and the enlarge photo? How much to pay for the courier?

Please email me...Thanks

[charcoal_brown]

-> crybaby
hope u are following this thread
for me, IVY BRIDE prepared and packed the enlarge photo & table top photo frames 2 days after we selected our photos.
For the enlarged photo, we just checked it in with our luggage and the table top photo frames we hand carried.
Because the BS needs to edit our photo and prepare the wedding album layout, the albums will be mailed to us.

-> everybody
Any BTBs who are interested to go for pre-wedding photoshoot in Taiwan, i strongly recommend you to attend the BS show at Suntec this weekend. There are a lot of Taiwan BS participating.

went to the BS roadshow at Suntec today, to visit kelly-jie and asked her lots of questions about my album layout.

and for the photo shoot venues - IVY BRIDE has a map of Taiwan that indicates all the hot spots for wedding photo shoot. And for each hot spot, there is a picture of the exact location printed on the map. It is an extremely useful tool. U can use this map to plan your photo shoot route.

For IVY BRIDE customers, please free feel to email kelly-jie ANY qns. You can write to them in english, they have an in-house translator. If not you can PM me, i will try to answer u based on my own experience.

& actually IVY BRIDE does provide the option for you to rent their gowns for your wedding in Singapore.
The BS just did not state it in their package.
I will be having 1 WG & 2EG freight over in Nov.
Kelly-jie estimated for me that my 1 WG & 2EG will weigh about 7kg and my two albums about 8kg. It will cost about S$10-$12 per kg to send the EG/WG/albums over.
She also mentioned that it is ok to dirty my WG/EG (no additional laundry charges) if i am being "sabotage" after my banquet, just do not damage the gown.

hope my info help.

[luckychime]

Hi Apxelle and Joan

I'm glad to see other brides signing up with Harvard Marriage. I signed up with them last Sat at the Suntec roadshow. Abit regret that I didn compare with the other bridal shops from Taiwan.
Keeping my fingers cross now

When are you gals intending to take your bridal shoots?

[reistan]

Hi All,

I've just signed up with Ivy Bride in the recent bridal show in Suntec. Glad to see that there are good reviews on their services.

My coordinator is Elain. Very friendly, soft spoken lady. I'm planning to go over to Taiwan in Apr 2010, as they recommended that the period or Mar to May are ideal for photoshoots. Not too hot and not too cold. In fact, I checked out, and its actually spring time during that period.

And just nice, I'll be taking a pre-wedding honeymoon after my shoot. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone. =D

 

[goddesslolli]

Hi luckychime! I think Harvard Marriage's package has one of the better offers, so dun worry! =D
And the coordinators are very friendly and not pushy.

I'm going next year between march-may. you?

 

[blackangel1512]

Hi Tan Chiu Joo (reistan), Elain also very nice and friendly, anyway, all of them in Ivy Bride are nice, friendly and i really feel very happy together with them...

I went during May this year, the 1st few days were cold but sunny, idea for photo shots.
Hey, after the shots, i also went for my pre-wedding honeymoon, haha...

 

[luckychime]

Hi Joanie

Is comforing to hear your comment

I am also intending to go next Apr or May cos its spring..not to hot and not to cold

My hubby and me also intend to prolong our stays as a honeymoon trip because we dun know when we will be free to travel again.

Hi Karen, Ivy Bride is coming to SIN and will be at the wedding fair from tomorrow till Sunday at Raffles City Level 3 atrium, but don't think Kelly is here, but you can have a look. Yah, that time when i signed up the package with them, i pay about 80%, and the remaining i paid when i finish my shooting.

 

[blackangel1512]

Hi Clare, i never been to Taiwan during Dec, but my parents-in-law went before and said it's cold and raining season. that time, my bridal coordinator told me that the best time to take bridal photos are in Oct...i went in May and i think it's not bad.

 

[liquidsnake]

I had just taken Pre wedding shoot from IVY Bride at Raffles City Wedding StreetPress fair. They are still there today as it is from 14-16 Aug.

I really hope it will be a good experience for us since you all have good feedback of them.

 

[evelove87]

Thanks Ivy, I went to Raffles City but ended signing package with Vivi Bride.

[liquidsnake]

IVY got 40 years of history and got a self owned 3 storey shop houses... i am not sure about the rest though...and i find the manager Cindy was very sincere and good, thats why i signed up with them.

[joannepang]

Hi all brides who went or is planning to go taiwan for photoshoot. Since the package is only for photoshoot, so you all will ala carte for your AD?

 

[phantazia]

Hi Joanne,

I've already signed with a BS in Taiwan. What that BS told me was that they hv tied up with a local BS to provide us AD at a cheaper rate. So before you sign with a Taiwan BS, maybe you wanna check if they hv liaise with any local BS for ur AD. Alternatively, maybe you would like to ask them if they can tie up with a local BS for ur AD.

For me, i sign 2 packages. One taiwan and one local. The local BS is bcuz i really like their gowns so i decided to take up their package. However, will only do indoor shoot. Alternatively, you can ask your local BS if they can change the potoshoot for say AD photoshoot (X10hrs) or/with (X10hrs videography).

 

[joannepang]

Anyone from harvard marriage to share experiences? Haiz I'm a selfish wife, I came back then realise they offer me 5 gowns and groom only 2 suits so how my hubby outfit going to match with mine if I'm taking those traditional style gown...forgot to ask to add his outfit same as mine...I've paid deposit already how har, still can bargain with them a not ...

 

[joannepang]

Hi I've went down again yesterday to clarify some of my doubts with them. Surprisingly their service to me still very good and friendly, not like what pple always says once deposit given, service attitude change...after going down yesterday, I feel attached to them, now only hope to get more reviews on them to confirm that they are really good and not only acting...anyone have exp with harvard marriage, would appreciate you PM me or share your exp here
