I agree, Mindy is definitely a very good makeup artist. I just saw my friend’s wedding day pictures and her makeup was very natural, matching all the dresses she had changed into that evening at the banquet.

I find most of Lovely Wedding Studio’s outdoor pictures pretty nice. It is comparable with other Asian studios, probably above average in terms of the photography style. One of my favourite photo is the one taken at Granville Island with the pigeons (in their Gallery, it’s Page 2, Photo15.jpg). When I went into the studio, I was looking for high-fashion, magazine style photography and I didn’t get to see them at Lovely Wedding. This is probably because the couple did not ask for that style. So if you have a specific style in mind, be it cute, sexy, fun, etc. you should ask to see if they have samples of those. That would give you a better idea on their photography style.

As for other studios, I’ve been to HN Wedding and Wedding Story. Both which I’ve written a review for. Out of all three, I personally liked HN Wedding’s photography style the most and so did my fiance. They are the most expensive out of the three. HN’s use of natural lighting and lens effects was what captured our eyes. As for Wedding Story, I’m sure you’ll be impressed with their photos as well. They had this one at the Stanley Park lighthouse which was stunning.

It would be best if you could visit the studios to actually see the albums and different photography style of the photographer as well as their makeup and dresses.

I hope you find this useful and I’d love to see which studio you decided to go with. No matter which one you choose, I’m sure your fiance would love this surprise.
