Mark Tan’s Photography FAQ

What inspires your photography?

My life in general and people who are important to me – friends,
family and love. We all have experiences in life that leave a lasting
impression. Some people keep a diary for these impressions. They write
about how they felt on their wedding day and the sheer joy that comes
from watching their child take his or her first step. For me, I
document them with my camera.


What is your style of photography?

My photography style is a mixture of photojournalism and fun,
contemporary shots with a relaxed and natural approach. My objective
is to get the best shots of the moment and cherish them for a
lifetime. I believe the best shots are always taken when people simply
relax, smile and laugh!


What gear do you use?

NIKON DSLR Camera and high quality Nikon Lens.


Do you edit your pictures?

Yes. All pictures will go through subtle editing such as saturation,
conversion to B&W, fill light. This will be done according to the
picture style.


How long do I have to wait before I receive my pictures?

The maximum time waiting to collect your photos and DVD is 1 month
from the event.


Why should I choose you as my wedding photographer?

It is your personal choice! I would say it is important to note that wedding photography is different from other form of photography as it requires not just the skills and creativity of the photographer. The knowledge for different wedding themes and rules will also determine the ability of a photographer to produce the right shots. Therefore, hire a photographer (me) that not only possess the creativity and skills, but also the experience!


How much do you charge?

It depends. I do not have a “one-size-fit-all” package for everyone. I
customize my service based on my clients’ needs and their wedding
themes. For wedding photography, it starts from RM980 for a half-day
photo shoot.


How do I book you for my wedding?

It is advisable to make your booking at least 3 months prior your big
day with 50% of the package price as a retainer fee to lock down my
dates. Please drop me an email at marktanphotographer@gmail.com or
complete the “contact us” form on my Facebook page if you would like
to discuss about it. Kindly note that the bookings are on first come
first serve basis.


Do you shoot destination weddings?

Yes! I’m able to travel depending on my availability.
