We got our pre wedding shoot done in Hanoi!
Will we do it again? Most definitely
Why Hanoi? It fitted most with our theme - of chic and elegance due to the “French” architecture from VN’s history.
How much did it cost? Roughly $900 - $1000 SGD (big reason why we chose Hanoi too)
Language was definitely a concern - and we engaged a translator for the shoot day. Cost us about $100-$150 SGD

If you're considering a pre-wedding photoshoot in Hanoi, here’s some extra insight from our experience. Apart from the beautiful French colonial backdrops that give your photos a timeless, elegant feel, Hanoi is surprisingly budget-friendly compared to other destinations. The total cost ranged around $900 to $1000 SGD, which included hiring a professional photographer and a translator to ease communication barriers. We found that engaging a translator for about $100-$150 SGD was invaluable, especially since clear communication is crucial during a photoshoot to capture exactly what you envision. The translator helped convey our ideas to the local team, making the shoot flow smoothly and with less stress. Another tip: choose locations around Hanoi’s Old Quarter or the French Quarter for stunning architecture and natural light, perfect for bridal portraits. Also, consider the timing of your shoot—early mornings or late afternoons offer soft sunlight ideal for photos. Overall, Hanoi offers not just beautiful scenery but also a charming atmosphere that blends history and romance, making it a memorable location for couples planning their pre-wedding shoots. Definitely worth considering if you want chic, elegant shots without breaking the bank.
