PWS in Ho Chi Minh for <1k sgd??

sharing my 2nd pre wedding shoot experience in ho chi minh city!!

the package includes 3 gowns + 1 casual shooting

night shoot, translator fee will need to top up!

total expenses is only!!! $921.63 SGD 😭😭😭😭 it is crazy cheap and affordable so please... guys... go take yr pws in HCM!!!

ok so i booked and paid the deposit online. i basically anyhow found a studio on ig but lucky for me that the experience is GOOD!!!

i reached hcm and immediately went to the studio to choose my gowns, and told them about the concept i want... a week before my arrival, i shared w them the HMU/concept already but needa emphasise more there! (i mean theres a reason why i went for a 2nd pws... comment if you wanna hear the story 🙂‍↕️)

immediately after the shoot, you can already have all of the photos as they would want you to transfer all the photos into a thumbdrive! i forgot to bring my laptop so i wasn't able to slowly browse thru the photos at the hotel T.T luckily, we are required to pick 50 photos for edit/printing so we managed to chop chop view all the photos. AFTER A DAY OF SHOOT so imagine how tired we are to look thru 6k+ photos........

then 2 days before i left hcm, we went to collect our photobook, photo frames! (we opted out of the canvas photo cos we alr have 3 from our 1st pws)!!

the whole experience is vvvv good 💯💯💯

i will post some of my hd photos if anyone wants to see.......... 🤨

Linking the studio here 🥰🥰🥰

Tuart Studio Tuart Wedding Vietnam

1/26 Edited to

... Read moreIf you're considering a pre-wedding photoshoot in Ho Chi Minh City, here are some tips based on my experience. December is a popular month to shoot due to the pleasant weather, so planning ahead is crucial. Make sure to communicate your concept and makeup/hair style preferences clearly with the studio before arrival to ensure everything matches your vision. Choosing the right gowns is essential—most studios offer multiple options, including traditional and modern styles. Don’t hesitate to mix casual shots with formal gowns for versatile photographs. Also, if you want night shots or any special arrangements, prepare for additional costs like translator fees or extra shooting time. The Saigon River and other scenic locations can add beautiful backdrops to your shoot. Some studios will include outdoor shooting in their packages, but confirm this to avoid surprises. Also, allocate enough time after your shoot to select your edited photos, as studios often ask you to choose a set number for printing and albums. One thing I appreciated was receiving all my raw photos immediately after the shoot, so I could pick the best ones conveniently. Photobooks and photo frames make lovely keepsakes and are often included or available as add-ons. Just be aware of what is included in your chosen package to maximize your budget. Finally, take into account local customs and styles if you want a blend of Western and Vietnamese influences in your photos. Many studios, like Tuart Studio in Ho Chi Minh, cater well to international couples. Overall, a pre-wedding photoshoot in Ho Chi Minh City can be affordable, memorable, and result in stunning keepsakes if planned carefully.

Europe PWS … but in Singapore 🇸🇬
White arches, long walkways, and chapel-like architecture. It instantly feels romantic. The symmetry here is stunning in photos, especially right in the centre of the arches. It gives that “destination wedding in Europe” vibe without actually leaving Singapore. Clean, bright, and timeless. T

Whatever you do in #bkk you can now do it in #vietnam HCM too! Massage ✅ Shopping ✅ Nails ✅ Spa ✅ Cafe ✅ Bars ✅ Cheap cheap good good ✅ The only downside I would say is that they do not have much late night activities. Most massage places closes at 11PM as compared to BKK at 2am.
