Art sense and creativity. Most wedding photos are conventional and monotonous. Therefore, I try to come up with some innovative ideas for photos. Having knowledge in styling, photography, fashion and design is helpful too.

What sort of person does the job suit?

You should have good organisational skills as you will need to coordinate with various parties including makeup artists, hair stylists and fashion designers. Patience is important. We usually chat with the couples for about five hours before we start the preparation work. They will tell us what they need, and sometimes their love stories too.
