I am really thankful that I found Another Lu! We had Another Lu for our elopement photos for straight 8 hours. Another and Jamie are amazing, absolutely a pleasure to work with! They are professional with a lot of expertise and warmth. They scheduled calls with me to make sure they know exactly what I want for my wedding day. Another gave us a lot directions, as well as made us feel comfortable, made us laugh to ease the nerves. The photographies were beyond our expectations even though we already had high expectations for her from the beginning. Another captured all of the special and unique moments in such a beautiful way. I recommend Another to anyone and everyone! If you need a reliable photographer, Another Lu it is!

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.

Nan did an amazing job of capturing our wedding! She was professional and communicative, and she and her assistants knew how to navigate around shooting a wedding. The photos turned out exactly as we hoped - all the important moments were captured beautifully, and the photos were edited professionally and came out looking gorgeous, without the editing being over-the-top or unsubtle. All around, great photographer, would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for someone to capture their big day.
