Your chinese & asian weddings photographed and filmed with care
A Chinese wedding day often starts early and runs late: the groom and his groomsmen arrive for the door games, the couple serves tea to parents and elders, there may be a Western-style ceremony, and the evening ends with a banquet of many courses, toasts at every table and two or three outfit changes. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers follow the whole day so the traditions and the fun are both recorded.
Customs vary by family and region, and many couples combine them with traditions from other cultures. Before the day we go through your schedule, including the guo da li if you would like it covered, the order of elders for the tea ceremony, and when each outfit change happens. We also cover Vietnamese weddings with the procession and ceremony at the ancestral altar, and Korean weddings with the pyebaek, where the couple tries to catch the dates and chestnuts thrown by their parents.
Our prices are listed openly and are the same for every couple: photography is $250 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour, and videography is $300 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour. Each event has a two-hour minimum, so the guo da li, tea ceremony and banquet can be booked separately, and you can pay online. MacroSnaps has more than 13 years of experience and is insured through State Farm, with certificates of insurance for restaurants and banquet halls.

Tea ceremony
The couple kneeling or bowing to serve tea to parents and elders, and the red envelopes and gold jewelry given in return, photographed in order of each elder.
Vietnamese and Korean traditions
The procession and ancestral altar ceremony in áo dài, or the pyebaek in hanbok with the dates and chestnuts, covered with the same care.

Our work








Planning tips
How to plan your coverage
Map the morning and the evening
Send us times for the door games, tea ceremony, any ceremony and the banquet. Many couples book morning coverage and banquet coverage separately to avoid paying for the gap in the afternoon.
Prepare the tea ceremony order
Write down the order of parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. A list lets us anticipate each elder and keeps the tea ceremony moving.
Plan time for each outfit
Allow 10 to 15 minutes after each outfit change for a few portraits. Without it, some outfits end up only in candid table photos.
Add video for the door games and toasts
The door games and the yam seng toast are about sound and energy. A second photographer or videographer helps when the bride and groom start the day in different homes.
Professional photography doesn't have to be expensive

FAQ
Chinese & Asian Weddings: frequently asked questions
Can you cover the door games and tea ceremony in the morning?
Yes. Many couples book the morning and the banquet as separate events, each with its own hours, so they only pay for the coverage they need.
Do you cover Vietnamese and Korean weddings?
Yes. We ask about your family's traditions in advance, including the ancestral altar ceremony or pyebaek, and plan the coverage around them.
How much does Chinese wedding photography cost?
Photography is $250 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour, so 6 hours is $750. Videography is $300 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour. Each event has a 2-hour minimum and the rates are the same for everyone.
Can family overseas watch the wedding?
Yes. We offer live streaming, which many families use so relatives who can't travel can watch the tea ceremony or banquet as it happens.
When will we receive our photos and video?
Every photo is edited and retouched, and the online gallery is usually ready in about one week. Highlight videos of 3 to 8 minutes with music you choose take 2 to 4 weeks, with one re-edit included.
