Flying in from the US for their very first trip to Taiwan, influencer Amy and her fiancé Shawn wanted a pre-wedding experience that was effortless yet memorable. With busy lives and tight schedules, they were looking for something completely fuss-free — a shoot where they could simply show up, have fun, and soak in the experience together. We planned every detail for them, from styling and outfits to location curation. What unfolded was more than just a shoot — it became a mini adventure through Taiwan’s cultural gems, natural beauty, and local flavours. It was intimate, exciting, and full of unexpected magic. Qi Pao Experience The day began with a quiet moment of tradition. We brought Amy and Shawn to a quaint qipao boutique, where Amy picked out a stunning emerald green dress with bold red floral details. She paired it with bright red heels and a fan that added a modern touch to the classic look. Shawn chose a sharp vintage ensemble, complete with a hat that added the perfect retro charm. From there, we made our way to Yuanshan Archaeological Site, a peaceful location rich with history and rustic charm. Surrounded by centuries-old architecture and warm brick textures that perfectly complemented their outfits. Mid-shoot, a tiny grasshopper landed right on Shawn’s vest — a lighthearted surprise we took as a symbol of good luck. It was the perfect start to the day, and instantly set the tone for a relaxed, joyful shoot. Misty Romance at Yangmingshan After a short drive into the hills, we arrived at the serene landscapes of Yangmingshan National Park — just as a soft mist rolled in and wrapped the fields in a dreamy haze. Far from dampening the mood, the fog added a gentle layer of magic that made everything feel more intimate and surreal. Amy changed into a voluminous white gown that flowed effortlessly with every breeze, while Shawn kept it classic in a crisp white shirt and jacket. The couple embraced the moment with pure joy — twirling, dancing, and laughing together across the open grassy slopes. At one point, they even laid down on the grass, soaking in the cool mountain air and each other’s company. Every frame from this location felt unfiltered and heartfelt — the kind of effortless beauty you can’t stage. The mist softened every edge, turning the scene into a fairytale-like moment that felt as real as it was cinematic. Night Market Retro Fun As night fell, we headed to the buzzing Street Night Market for a complete wardrobe shift. Amy slipped into a white puff-sleeve dress, matched with a pearl necklace, gloves, and sneakers for comfort-meets-style. Shawn wore suspenders and an easygoing charm that completed their old-school 80s-inspired look. Together, they wandered the market streets, sipping on fruit juice, sampling local snacks, and diving into nostalgic childhood games at a vintage pinball arcade. The vibrant night lights, the retro outfits, and their carefree energy came together perfectly to close the shoot on a high. It felt like a date night, wrapped in nostalgia and laughter — the perfect ending to a day filled with love and discovery. For Amy and Shawn, this shoot was about more than just capturing beautiful photos — it was their first journey discovering Taiwan through the lens of love. Every stop brought a unique experience: rich heritage, stunning nature, and vibrant local culture. With each wardrobe change and location shift, they fell deeper in love—not just with each other, but with the magic of Taipei itself. They came seeking a fuss-free pre-wedding shoot—and left with memories as vivid and unforgettable as a whirlwind travel documentary. "Thanks so much again to the team for the most fun photoshoot experience we've ever had!! It was definitely the highlight of our Taiwan trip! We LOVE the photos!"
