                                    Rated 5.0 We hired Andy for our daughter's first birthday. We celebrated indoors mostly with dinner served outside in the back yard. The pictures for both indoor and outdoor turned out to be really amazing. We received the pictures a day after the event. The turn around time was quick. We had an issue with the memory card while we were half the way in the party. Like everyone else I come from tech era as well and it was no one's mistake here that the memory card with the best memories suddenly decided not to work. So we didn't waste time and went on with the party with some re created moments. But luckily one of my friends had a recovery software and we were able to recover all the photos. And the memories stayed intact. We just stayed calm and patient throughout. As we knew there is only a certain limit we can play with technology. Andy was perfect on time to the event. And got his gear and set it up and was ready on time. In the end we also took portraits of our couple friends as well. Andy was amazing to work with. It's all in collaboration and how we think and proceed ahead with obstacles makes a good team. More than getting a photographer. It was making a team which made things amazing to work with as a person and the output was amazing. Everyone loved the pictures. Vibrant and the post processed images were totally great.

                                    Rated 5.0 Andy was great to work with! He was able to set up a time for a photo shoot within a few days as I had a deadline I was trying to meet and he was very flexible about the place and time. The photos are wonderful and he worked really well with our kids (12 and 10) to keep it fun for them throughout the entire time he was taking photos. I had the finished products which looked even more amazing after his post-production work within a couple of days. Couldn't be happier with my choice of photographer and I will highly recommend him.

                                    Frequently Asked Questions - Andy Sun Photography

                                      • 1. Why professional photography service is expensive?

                                        Almost everyone thinks hiring a professional photographer is expensive. The impression simply comes from looking at hours and works of the photo session only, without considering lots of hidden hours of work.

                                      • 2. Why this professional photographer charges $3X/hour while there's another professional photographer charges $X/hour?

                                        "Unlike buying a product which may have a MSRP and you may buy it from a vendor which offers the best deal for exactly the same thing. In photography service, it's all about equipment, experiences, skills, knowledge, reliability, service coverage and the quality of end result. Generally speaking, the lower the price you pay, the worse the service and result you'll get. Nowadays, tons of people can afford an entry level DSLR with kit lens and people who own a camera are frequently called photographers. Most of them work as an engineer, a cashier, or a math teacher on weekdays. And many of them love photography and love to click their camera shutter for you on weekends by charging some money for extra income. In order to get themselves hired, they target on low budget clients, offer cheap service and call themselves a professional photographer. Also, many of them will love to throw you all raw photos without post processing any because the quality of their photos has low quality and value. To make themselves look good, lots of them claim they will edit all photos now. While true professional photographers need to spend tens of hours in highly editing lots of photos, they get the same amount of photos done editing within 30 minutes by making exposure (higher/lower) adjustment only. "

                                      • 3. How I can tell this photographer is a true professional or not?

                                        "Tons of people with a camera call themselves a professional photographer in order to get themselves hired. The definition of a professional photographer is someone who runs a registered, legit photography business, earn his/her major income and makes a living from it.A true professional photographer should have a business tax ID#, a portfolio site, social networks, multiple sites posting his/her business besides of social network, tons of online photo galleries from his/her work.If you are looking for a true professional photographer, you should ask for 1. Web site(s). 2. An URL or a screenshot which shows his online photo galleries hosting for clients. 3. An entire photo gallery shows his/her work, similar to your needs, delivered to client.Upon receiving everything above, you then decide do you like his/her style and work or not, for taking further consideration."

                                      • 4. What can I do if I need professional photography service and result but are tight in budget?

                                        "If you do not mind about quality much, feel free to hire any photographer who claims themselves a professional photographer. This comes from some clients...""I just need some photos to be taken..."". When this sentence speaks in your mind, feel free to hire anyone who has a camera at the price you think fit.Quality service and result in photography comes from equipment, experiences, skills, knowledge, reliability and many hours of professional work. When you need professional photography service and result but you don't have a good budget for it, you can1. Ask if there's any promotion for your needs. Almost all photographers run yearly or seasonal promotion. It's considered as marketing expense when photographers run a promotion.2. Prepaid for future multiple works. When there're guaranteed multiple works from a client, photographers are normally willing to provide some discount.3. Quantity discount. For example, when you need a professional business headshot, it normally costs from $100 - $200 in average. However, if you can get 10 people or more to have a business headshot together, you could get some volume discount from that.4. Negotiate for quality with quantity. When you need quality result with tight budget, you can ask if it's doable when you need quality result with less amount in quantity to fit in your budget. When photographers can spend less time in either post processing photos or taking photos, it's reasonable to charge less than original amount."
