We met Siang through my best friend who got married the year before me. Once I saw her engagement pictures then her wedding photos later I knew I wanted to work with Siang once I got engaged! Siang is very personable and he really was a joy to get know and to also work with. My husband and I are more goofballs than love birds so we had some awkward moments at first during our engagement shoot especially shooting more of the PDA shots but Siang captured those moments beautifully and of course caught the more genuine shots of us bursting into laughter. Siang took time out of his hectic schedule to come to our rehearsal to personally meet our wedding party and families before the big day so that he would know them by name and face on the day of our wedding. That really impressed our families and wedding party and it also made taking pictures on our wedding day a lot more fun since he had familiarized himself with our closest family and friends. Our wedding pictures genuinely captured the day as we remembered and caught moments that we also missed. His pictures convey so much emotion and expression which is why all his clients are impressed and very pleased with his work. We would highly recommend him to any engaged couple who is looking to work with a very professional and skilled photographer!

I knew who I wanted to photograph my wedding before I knew who the groom would be. Not that I was one of those people who sat around folding down corners in wedding magazines and fantasizing through Pinterest boards...I wasn't. Siang and his team had photographed my best friend's wedding years before my own love came along, and from the moment I saw their pictures, I found myself instantly transported back to their wedding day reliving every moment of the day. Every laugh, every tear, every whisper of emotion that flutters in and out on such a day. Moving beyond the level of beautiful images, Siang's talent and artistry had managed to capture the story behind the images with a richness of detail and emotion that I had never before encountered.

When my turn finally came around, I immediately called Siang. Throughout the whole process, he made us feel as though we were the only clients he had (not true), and he took the time to get to know our story, who we are as a couple, and what we value. He was genuinely present in all of our interactions, focused, caring, helpful, and accommodating. From our engagement photoshoot to the day of the wedding, he and his team of magical assistants somehow managed to be everywhere all at once capturing precious, fleeting moments without being intrusive. My goodness, the man was by far the hardest working person at the whole wedding!

His painstaking attention to detail in carefully editing our images and handcrafting our album with longevity in mind resulted in a collection that still makes me tear up and fall in love with my husband all over again. I can relive each facet of the days' story with the same force of emotion as the first time.

We consider it our best decision and greatest privilege to have been able to work with such a master craftsman as Siang throughout our wedding. He is an incredible talent, a gifted artist, a pure soul, and a dear friend.

Many people have said that I am callus when it comes to emotions, but when I previewed some of Siang's work - I cried. It was the first time a photo had ever made me cry. Siang had photographed my brother's wedding in 2011. I cried at their ceremony and when I saw their photos a few weeks later, I cried just as hard. Siang captures raw emotions and feelings so beautifully. His eye for detail, composition, and lighting is reflected in every single photo.

We spent over a year preparing for our wedding. When the big day came and went, the experience was surreal. When we received our slideshow and pictures from Siang, it really helped solidify the memories for us. Although, I did not cry on our wedding day, I did cry when I watched our slideshow. Siang's ability to orchestrate emotional photos with instrumental notes is astounding. It really really is.

Siang is extremely professional and a very hard worker. He photographed our welcome party, sunset cruise, all day wedding, and after party. He and his assistant took more photos then we expected, but in the end, we LOVE each and every photo that we received. He exceeded all of our expectations and is truly passionate about his art. We were honored to have Siang as our wedding photographer, and now friend and family member. Thank you Siang. We can't wait to see more of your amazing talent.

Josh and I had the most amazing experience working with Siang. Even before meeting him, I fell in love with his photos. He treats his photography like the love of his life and truly turns it into an artwork. Although he is on the higher end cost wise, we were told not to sacrifice photography since that is the one thing you should spend money on for a wedding. I was nervous for my engagement photos but once I saw them, I was brought to tears and it gave me all the confidence I needed for my wedding day. Siang took a personal interest in our wedding and we felt extremely special. I really appreciated that we had Siang plus two assitants at our wedding. Siang goes above and beyond and doesn't end our session until he feels he has taken enough pictures to satisfy him. =) I HIGHLY recommend Lightphoria and his work speaks for himself. I already have several friends who have contacted him for various photographic needs.

Of all the decisions that we made for the wedding. choosing to work with Siang was among the best. Siang is truly exceptional, and far exceeded our expectations. In fact, by the end of the wedding, we felt as though he was a member of the wedding party. I could not give a more enthusiastic review to such an outstanding artist and professional!

Our wedding took place over a full weekend. We expected that Siang would arrive on Friday and Saturday evening, as we had officially booked. However, Siang booked a room at our wedding site and took photos throughout the whole weekend. On the morning of our Saturday wedding, we had planned an 8am 10K run with our wedding guests. Siang had taken the initiative to familiarize himself with the running route ahead of time, meet our group shortly before 8am, and take photos before, during and after the run.

This is only a single example - but I could recount a dozen others. I have never been more impressed with a photographer. He doesn't simply complete the job, he goes above and beyond with the passion and eye of an artist.

Were we to have another major event, or as a recommendation to a friend, there is no one else I would consider in Siang's class.

Choosing Siang as our wedding day photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our big day. Siang is talented, professional, caring and personable. I first noticed Siang's work when he took engagement pictures for my friend. The pictures were breathtaking and were like telling a love story of my friends. After comparing with a few other photographers, I decided to use Siang because of his stunning work and candid shots. He always seems to be able to capture the moments. And of course he did not disappoint us. During our big day, he and his assistance were at my house bright and early. He would quietly observe the environment and take shots without you even noticing it. Yet, he was always able to capture the right moments, when people are laughing, tearing and smiling. When I look at my wedding pics, all the great memories come back and I can feel the emotions everyone was experiencing. Finally, on the personal side, Siang is such a nice person. He tries to get to know you and understand what you values the most for your wedding. I encourage everyone to browse through his Facebook page and review his work. I was addicted to his fb page when I was planning for my big day. It is fun!

We researched many wedding photographers, poured over websites, spent countless hours looking at portfolios but in the end, Siang's work stood out for one very specific reason: his images are the only ones that made me cry. I still remember watching the slideshows he sent us as examples of his work and feeling the happiness and the pure beauty of what a wedding represents, the relationships between all the people witnessing such a special moment in the bride and groom's lives and the love that permeated through all the photos. His ability to capture all these fleeting moments of stark beauty is truly unique.

Not only is he an amazing photographer, he also has an incredible personality and work ethic. From the very first Skype conversation we had with him, we felt that he truly cared about us, about our story and our vision for the wedding. Throughout the months, he got to know us as friends would get to know each other and asked us all the right questions about our special day, from what we wanted to remember of our wedding 20 years down the road to the most minute details about the logistics of our timeline. He is in fact so knowledgeable about weddings that he helped us on more than one occasion when we had doubts about how to do certain things (such as the best place for our sweetheart table or when to do our first dance).

When the wedding day came, he arrived truly prepared. He made a point to learn the names of our entire bridal party and had also asked for us to send pictures of our parents ahead of time so he could make sure he could spot them from the get-go. He knew about all the important details of our day - some of which I had forgotten myself! Watching him work was really awe inspiring; he remained focused and absolutely committed to the work the entire day - his eyes always scanning the room for the best angles, even when somebody came up to him to chat and he was too polite to ignore them. Everybody, friends and family alike, commented on how hard he worked.

In the end, he delivered us with an absolutely amazing set of images that really captured the essence of our day. Siang is a master story-teller. We could not have been more pleased. Siang, thank you SO much for all you've done!

Hiring Siang was absolutely one of the 2 most critical decisions we made regarding our wedding (the other being the venue.) After all, it'd have been such a shame to fly friends and family from all over the world to a clifftop in Bali if the right photographer wasn't there to do the whole adventure justice.

My wife and I were looking for a specific type of photographer. Beyond one who could make things pretty. We needed one who could tell a story. Perhaps one who'd be just as comfortable in a director's chair on a film production. More Time magazine, a little less Martha Stewart Living (with no offense to the latter!). What I mean is, with the proper lighting and the proper equipment, it's not difficult to take photos of the wedding party standing all in a row, or the wedding cake, or the catered food. But it does take a fair amount of hustle, and the keen eye of an artist/poet to know how to convey stories through imagery, to capture not just moments...but the right moment. Those that disappear in a blink, but when deftly captured, hold the key to the story.

Siang's that guy, in spades. He will tenaciously, tirelessly shadow all your precious moments, and tell your story, via sweeping, epic, intimate imagery.

Just as important, Siang always made us feel as if we were his only client. As if we were good friends...From the first conference call, he asked us about the things we liked to do on the weekends, about our plans for the wedding. But not in the manner of a professional or consultant, but as if he were a friend or a brother. Siang is just genuinely one of the nicest people I've had the pleasure of meeting, let alone working with.

Siang loves his work, and he works HARD. By the end of the night, Siang's shirt was soaked through (albeit the Balinese humidity did contribute some). And friends and family commented on how Siang was EVERYWHERE. Even now, as my wife and I look through our album, we marvel "Where was he when he took that shot? In a tree? Under my foot??" And yet, he seemed invisible the entire time....I'd just notice him, from time to time, scaling a low wall or crouching on the ground, peeking from around the corner. He was able to penetrate the moment, without intruding, and that takes a lot of finesse.

Moreover, Siang's eye brings elements and angles into an image that create meaning and beauty where, otherwise, we might see something pedestrian. Siang's photos of our wedding are literally more beautiful than how I remember the actual wedding! He did more than just capture moments...he enhanced them. That's art.

So thanks, Siang. For your passion, your hustle, and your poetry. You are a rare talent.

To say that Siang is a wonderful person to work with is an understatement. He's very enthusiastic about his work and made us feel very relaxed and at ease on what would've been a very stressful day.

Before choosing Siang, we looked at his portfolio for other weddings. Unlike some photographers who put their subjects in the same "cookie cutter" poses, each wedding Siang photographed has a different, personalized feel to them. Our wedding photos are (for lack of better terms) very "us", which was exactly what I was looking for.

The best part: Siang managed to make two very un-photogenic people look great, even better than we ever hoped to look again. Our family absolutely loved the photos. My mom confessed she looked at our wedding slideshow more than 10 times.

Siang is an AWESOME photographer! He is truly an artist and has an eye for taking great shots wheter candid or posed. You can tell he is passionate and loves his work and his pictures are evidence of that. He is really good at capturing relational moments between people. He and his team work hard to capture the pictures of your big day. He even stayed late after everyone left the reception to take last minute photos of the bridal party and just me and my groom since we didn't have time earlier in the day to do so at the reception venue.
