My approach is natural, thoughtful, and focused on creating something that feels personal and truly yours.

MORE THAN PHOTOGRAPHY
Beyond photography, I can also help with the planning and details behind the proposal — from finding the right location and arranging flowers, to styling the setup and coordinating everything on the day, so the whole experience comes together smoothly.
CLIENT FEEDBACK
I truly cannot recommend Doris enough. I found her through Instagram while planning my proposal to my now-fiancée, and her portfolio immediately stood out to me. Looking back, choosing her was one of the best decisions I made throughout the entire planning process.
Doris did so much more than simply take our photos. From the very beginning, she helped me plan virtually every detail of the proposal. We spent numerous calls together across different time zones going through potential locations, timing, logistics, decorations, flowers, and everything else needed to make the day perfect. She gave me several beautiful location options to choose from, helped arrange and book the location I ultimately selected, and coordinated the flowers and decorations so that everything came together exactly how I had imagined it.
On the day of the proposal, she went above and beyond. She spent practically the entire day with my fiancée and me, first capturing the proposal and taking beautiful photos at the lake we had rented, and then staying with us until late at night as we traveled around Shanghai taking additional nighttime photos. She never made us feel rushed, and she put so much time, care, and effort into making sure we had every photo we wanted.
And the pictures themselves were absolutely amazing. She captured not only how beautiful everything looked, but also the emotions and little moments throughout one of the most important days of our lives. We now have an incredible collection of photos that we will be able to look back on forever.
What impressed me most was how invested Doris was in making the entire experience special. From our first planning call to the final photos, she was there to help every step of the way. Planning something like this from another country and across time zones could have been incredibly stressful, but having Doris there made the entire process so much easier.
If you are looking for a photographer in Shanghai for a proposal, engagement, couple’s shoot, or really any special occasion, I wholeheartedly recommend Doris. She is an incredible photographer and an equally wonderful person to work with. Thank you, Doris, for helping me create and capture a day that my fiancée and I will remember for the rest of our lives!
