Fabulous Lantern Photoshoot in Hoi An

5.00This photoshoot with Nam was absolutely amazing. Not only did we get hundreds of photos and launch our lanterns, but Nam waited for us as we got lost and patiently guided us through the very busy streets of Hoi An once we found a tea shop where we could use wifi to call him. The photo locations and quality are fantastic. This created unforgettable memories of Vietnam for us!
A must in Hoi An

5.00I was traveling solo and booked a shoot to capture the memories — and I’m so glad I did! The photographer was very professional, made the whole process smooth, and we covered a lot of beautiful spots in such a short time. Even better, he sent me the edited photos just a few hours later! Quick, efficient, and the results turned out amazing. Highly recommend for solo travelers looking to get great shots without the stress.
Great photos

4.00Photographer provided guidance for posing and had awesome places to take the photos. We ended up with 179 photos from the shoot. Not all of them are great , mostly due to us having our eyes closed. Some of the photos are outstanding. I'd recommend this.
Was a good experience....
