Chinese & Asian Weddings in Garland: photography & video

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.

Garland is a major city in Texas, home to roughly 237,000 people. We cover Chinese or Asian wedding events at wedding and reception venues across the area, from The Atrium at Granville Arts Center, Plaza Theatre and Firewheel Golf Park to private homes, restaurants and community halls.

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.

For a typical Chinese or Asian wedding, clients in Garland book about 6 hours of photography ($750) and 5 hours of videography ($1,100). Photography is $250 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour; videography is $300 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour, with a 2-hour minimum. The first-hour price includes travel, so Garland costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.
