#Our Fun and Memorable Pre-Wedding Photoshoot with Anthoerlu Photography in San Francisco This past March, my fiancée Charis and I had the pleasure of traveling from Hong Kong to San Francisco for sightseeing and our pre-wedding photoshoot. We chose Anthoerlu Photography based on their stunning Instagram presence (@anotherluphotography). Right from the start, we knew we made the right choice. Nan and Jamie weren't just ordinary photographers; they were engaging and very helpful, guiding us with care and immense attention to detail. From the get-go, they were incredibly supportive, addressing our worries about bringing a wedding gown from overseas and even setting up a call to walk us through everything. We ended up buying one gown in Hong Kong (with a roughly 1.5m tail) and renting a beautiful long-tail (about 2 - 3m) gown from their collection, which Charis absolutely adored. Visiting their studio was like dropping by an old friend's home. It was warm and very welcoming, and finding the perfect gown with them felt personal and fun. Our shoot began at the enchanting Pulgas Water Temple, where Nan and Jamie effortlessly captured our love amidst the temple's tranquility, surrounded by lush greenery and a serene reflecting pool. They were so skilled in making us feel relaxed, directing our poses with gentle suggestions that really made the photos come alive. The photos we received are simply stunning! As we moved to the bustling intersections of California Street x Powell Street, we embraced the essence of San Francisco. The steep hills and the clanging cable cars were all vividly reminiscent of Hong Kong, yet uniquely San Francisco. Nan's professionalism shone as she navigated through the uncertainties of street photography, keeping us focused and engaged despite the busy surroundings. We also had a spontaneous hopping on and off a cable car. We went down to the Powell Street final stop, met a friendly operator speaking our mother tongue, Cantonese, who allowed us to capture some truly special moments from unique perspectives. These are all precious moments that were captured not only in the camera but also in our hearts. Ending our day at the San Francisco City Hall, we were in awe of its architectural aesthetics. Nan knew exactly where to position us to make the most of the grand staircase and marble structures, ensuring every shot reflected the elegance of the setting (such as the scene, the luminance, and our interaction). What touched us most was the genuine connection we felt with Nan, Jamie, and Alice (A big shoutout to @alicetangmakeup, whose services we absolutely loved. She was very caring towards Charis and paid great attention to detail). Despite coming from different backgrounds (Shanghai+Taiwan+HongKong+USA), the warmth and chemistry between us was undeniable. They made our session more than just a photoshoot--it was a memorable experience filled with laughter and shared stories. Receiving the photos in less than four weeks was just the cherry on top, allowing us to relive those moments and share them with loved ones back home. If you're looking for photographers who will capture your special moments while making the experience enjoyable and heartfelt, look no further than Anthoerlu Photography (@anotherluphotography). Nan and Jamie truly went above and beyond, not just in their professional capacity, but in making our trip more memorable. read more

Celebrating our special day with Another Lu Photography was an experience we'll treasure forever. From the moment we met, it was clear that Lu and her team aren't just photographers; they're artists with a profound passion for capturing love's beautiful moments. Their professionalism and dedication shone brightly, as they embarked on their journey long before dawn at 4am to ensure every detail was perfect for our shoot. Lu's artistic vision is truly unparalleled. With a keen eye for beauty and an extraordinary sense of culture, she thoughtfully chose the Japanese Tea Garden for our session, knowing it would resonate with our Asian heritage. The setting couldn't have been more ideal, harmonizing exquisitely with our attire and creating a backdrop that felt both intimate and grand. Karen and I really loved it. What sets Lu apart is not just her technical skill in harnessing light and composing the perfect shot but her heartfelt passion and patience. She guided us with a gentle hand, teaching us to embody the emotions and stories she sought to capture, making the experience not just a shoot, but a journey of discovery. The final photographs were nothing short of breathtaking. Lu's ability to blend artistry with emotion resulted in images that not only captured the essence of our love but also told a story that we'll look back on with fondness for years to come. We're deeply grateful to Another Lu Photography for giving us memories that are not only visually stunning but filled with the heart and soul of our special day. read more

We feel very lucky that we found Another Lu Photography to capture our wedding this past June. From the start, even before we signed the contract, we could not have asked for more responsive and helpful communication. That didn't change after we signed - same great service continued, including setting our rather complicated timeline, always informative and helpful and reassuring, never pushy. Nan even went to our venue in advance on her own time to map out the best flow for the different areas where we wanted portraits! On the day of, Nan was like a ghost through our ceremony and reception - hardly noticeable even though from her photos it was clear she was dashing this way and that to capture the key moments from different vantage points. My now-wife and I love our photos and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We couldn't be more happy to have found such a skilled photographer with a unique (gorgeous and elevated) point of view. read more

My husband and I recently had our wedding ceremony at San Francisco City Hall. During the wedding preparation, we found the photographer Another through MS.Sister Bridal Shop. We really liked her style after seeing her previous wedding photos. After learning about the service details, we decided to hire her as our photographer. Another was very professional and had a detailed conversation with us before the shoot. She even gave us a checklist, letting us know what we needed to prepare and what to pay attention to. Since I'm not very good at posing for photos and tend to have a stiff expression in front of the camera, Another gave us great tips in advance and even sent us some videos to practice. On the day of the shoot, she did a fantastic job capturing all the moments of our ceremony. The photos turned out beautifully. read more
