After all the searching and studying of the packages available, we finally settled for Vinsy. Yuki and Michelle of Vinsy are really helpful, answered all our repeated questions with great patience. They even helped us booked hotel right next to them. The location is good and had many good feedbacks from HK couples. They are HK company that branched out to Shenzhen and had appeared in Magazines in various occasions. You can get in contact with them via MSN
vinsy1@hotmail.com Do mention Agnes from Singapore introduced.

Those interested in Vinsy client gallery can leave your email with us.However, a few weeks after we paid the deposit. We found a new BS (曼城印象
http://www.szmcyx.com/) in Shenzhen very near Vinsy. It's started by an award winning photographer Fei Ge (飞哥) As photographers ourselves, we can't help but to be impressed by his indoor studio shots. Lighting control on white gowns aren't as easy as many think. He's able to bring out certain feel to his studio shots which many photographers can't. We went for Vinsy mainly for the flower/outdoor shots, but was not impressed by their indoors.
After reading on the feedbacks, we just have to ask if Fei Ge could help us take. 冰宇
iceyu09@live.cn of 曼城 helped us a lot. Fei Ge normally will only take for those higher end packages, but our budget only allowed us to take the cheapest RMB 2999 package. 冰宇after knowing we're from Singapore didn't want to disappoint us, so she helped us to get Fei Ge to agree to take photos for us. It'll be whole day session. Normally in Singapore, to get a porpular/award winning photographer for a whole day is about S$2.4k, so it is a steal. The best thing is they accept western union.
One other reason why we joined 2 packages is that Vinsy cannot 100% promise us we'll get the albums within 2 months (they promised 90%) but 曼城 promised us it'll be ready in 45days.
曼城 RMB 2999 package (abt S$660/RM1580);
Suits/Gowns: 4 Sets with 4 make-ups
Total shots: 120 shots with all softcopies returned in CD/DVD
Edit shots: 23 post-processed shots for album with softcopies returned in CD/DVD
Locations: 1 day beach + garden + studio
Albums: 1x16 inches 20pages + 1x12 inches 20pages
Single Photos: 30X24 inches painting photo + 16X20 inches painting photo + 10X8 inches crystal framed + 2x2R wallet size photos
1 days 1 to 1 service consist of Photographer + Assistant + MUA
We urge those interested in 曼城 to take up higher end package and request for Fei Ge. We would had joined the RMB 4999 package if our budget allowed.
Do note most of these BS have a few photographers, if you don't request for a senior photographer, you may end up with a newbie. It'll be good if you can judge the photographer by their portfolio. Don't believe everything you read or see on their website, do your own research. HK forums will be a good place to get feedbacks.
Really hope everything will go smoothly from reaching Shenzhen to collecting the albums back^^
