Romantic Elopement in Ninh Binh

When we decided to elope it was important for us to find a photographer who was talented and could help us create a perfect day for the two of us. We stumbled upon Thang on Google and we were quickly impressed.
His photos were stunning and he had many options for locations in Vietnam, which were all so pretty. When we reached out he got back to us quickly and we met him over Skype.
Being from Canada we were nervous about the language barrier and about figuring out how to plan our day. Thang took care of everything! He helped us organize everything, from giving us recommendations to him to booking vendors himself.
When we got to Vietnam, we met with Thang, got to know him very well and he did a photo session with us in the city of Hanoi. It gave us so much relief having met him right before our big day.
We got along with him very well as he is incredibly friendly and kind! He even helped us when I forgot my wedding dress at a hotel in Hanoi – he brought it to us in Ninh Binh. Truly he is a lifesaver!!!!
The wedding day was phenomenal, he picked the best locations to take photos and they turned out better than we expected!!!!
Could not recommend Thang more, he would be the perfect person to capture your special day!

He is also an incredibly kind person who went above and beyond to get us stunning photos for our wedding. Thank you for making us feel so special!!
Had a great experience with beautiful delivery. My wife and I couldn’t have been more delighted. Thang has been great to work with and was communicative the whole way through. We felt safe and taken care of the entire time. Thang has a wholesome life and brings that to you as well.
Thank you for all you’ve given us and we will definitely stay in touch next time we are in town.

Look no further, I will highly recommend Thang and his team to help you with your photoshoots! We were worried the first time as it was the first time my fiancée and I were headed overseas for an elopement.
From the beginning to the end, Thang has been the most passionate and always assuring us during the whole process. Thang and his team are full of amazing ideas and never cease to amaze us!
The shoot day itself was a breeze. Thang made us feel completely at ease, and his creative direction and suggestions were invaluable. They scouted the perfect locations in advance, did ample research and guided us through each pose and moment with patience and expertise. Thang and his team’s ability to capture the chemistry and connection between us was nothing short of magical.
When the photos were ready, we were completely wow-ed by it and we have begun to recommend him to our friends, and hope we can also share with you the love and passion by him!
Choosing Thang for our elopement was one of the best decisions we made. His talent, professionalism, and passion for photography shine through in every image they deliver. We cannot wait to display these photos at our wedding and cherish them for a lifetime.
Thank you, Thang and his team, once again for giving us such a wonderful elopement experience and a treasure trove of memories that we will cherish forever!
Full-Day LGBT Elopement in Ninh Binh

Our adventure elopement experience in Vietnam with Jasmin Wedding was incredible. Thang orchestrated our special day perfectly and made it a very stress free experience, which is exactly what we were looking for by eloping instead of doing a traditional wedding. He found the most beautiful untouched mountain top for our ceremony in Ninh Binh, with a stunning view. The location was only accessible by rowboat and a short hike.
And it had absolutely no tourists which was so surprising given how popular of a destination Ninh Binh is for tourists. A true gem! It was exactly what we wanted. As a couple that lives in California, USA, we could not prepare ahead of time by looking at ceremony spots ourselves in person so we put our full trust in Thang and we’re so glad we did! He coordinated the boats and vendors so that we could truly enjoy the day and live in the moment, with no worries.
As a foreign LGBTQ+ lesbian couple visiting Vietnam for the first time, we did not know what to expect when we first started reaching out to photographers in Vietnam — but we were welcomed so warmly by Thang. We wanted to work with Thang because he immediately made us feel so safe and cared about.
His passion for supporting the LGBTQ+ community was beautiful and very endearing. His enthusiasm to be part of our celebration added an extra layer of joy for us. It wasn’t just a job for him; it was a heartfelt commitment to inclusivity and love. He is a true “hopeless romantic” and “loves love” – which is definitely the kind of vibe you should have around you on your wedding day!
Thang also has a really great artistic eye – while thinking through locations and poses for photography, he was also cognizant of what would be good for videography and drone footage.
In addition, what set him apart was not just his skill behind the lens, but also his ability to make us feel at ease. As two individuals who typically shy away from the camera, his warmth and encouragement turned a potential discomfort into moments of genuine connection.
We became friends and even shared baby pictures! We will definitely be keeping in touch with him over the years, despite being across the world!

Amazing photos, Thang is so sweet and very persistent, he knows how to make us laugh on every photo too! Perfect editing and he has a beautiful personality. We eloped to Vietnam and Thang was very nice to take our photos! We loved them and him too 🥰🥰🥰

Thang’s team is amazing, detail oriented, and thoughtful. Great to work with! So glad we trusted their team for our day. He has so many ideas for the event and our special day was captured so well! It took so much stress out of the wedding and he made the planning feel easy.

Romantic Elopement in Ninh Binh
Thang is an incredibly gifted photographer! After sharing some of our wedding photos on social media, the response was overwhelming—everyone was blown away by the beautiful moments he captured. One of my friends, who runs a wedding business, even said they were among the best wedding photos she’s ever seen.
My husband and I are quite camera-shy and not fans of overly posed shots, and Thang really respected that. He documented our day in such a natural, effortless way—it genuinely felt like he was telling our story as it unfolded.
Thang truly went above and beyond for us. He stayed well past the agreed time without hesitation, which we really appreciated. He also arranged for an amazing florist and a wonderful celebrant—both brought so much beauty and warmth to our day.
As a sweet surprise, he even gifted us a mini photo album with Polaroids from the wedding, which we absolutely loved! And to top it all off, he delivered our full gallery in just over two weeks—much earlier than the expected 5–6 weeks. It was such a fantastic surprise, especially since we were so eager to relive the day!
Our wedding felt truly magical, and we’re so grateful to Thang for capturing it so perfectly.

Vow Renewals in Vietnam
Let us start with “Wow!”
We recently had the pleasure of working with Jasmin Photography for two very diverse shoots. We met for a lifestyle inner-city shoot in Hanoi and also had a spontaneous vow renewal ceremony together. We have to say, he is one of the most talented and thoughtful photographers we have ever worked with.
During the inner-city shoot, Thang was able to perfectly capture the energy and vibe of the city, and his natural eye for detail, composition, and the right moment resulted in some truly stunning images. At the vow renewal ceremony, he was able to capture the emotion and joy of the moment in a way that was truly magical. Each shoot had a very different vibe and for both he was able to seamlessly blend into the background and capture candid moments that we will treasure forever.
Throughout both shoots, Thang was incredibly professional and so easy to work with. He is reliable and was able to organise and mobilise a whole team for us with very short notice. He goes above and beyond to create not only imagery, but an experience that is truly unforgettable. He was patient and attentive throughout the entire process, and his calm and friendly demeanour helped put us at ease and made the entire experience enjoyable.
What really set Thang apart, though, was his thoughtful and kind approach. He was genuinely interested in getting to know us and making us feel comfortable, and his warmth and sincerity shone through in every interaction. By the end of the shoots, we had not only gotten some amazing photos, but had also made a new friend.
When we received the final photos, we were honestly blown away. Each image was beautifully composed and perfectly captured the mood and emotion of the moment. Thang’s editing skills are also top-notch, and the final product was nothing short of stunning. He transcends mere photography and truly creates art.
We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and professional photographer in Vietnam. He is truly one of the best in the business, and his calm and kind demeanour is reflected in his beautiful imagery. We are grateful to know him, feel lucky to have worked with him, and look forward to staying in touch.

Romantic Engagement in Ninh Binh
I cannot recommend Jasmin Wedding Photography enough for engagement photos! From start to finish, he did an incredible job of posing us and capturing both posed and candid shots that perfectly captured our love for each other.
His attention to detail and willingness to work with us on our vision made the experience truly enjoyable. Not only did he create beautiful photos, but he also made us feel at ease in front of the camera.
We are so grateful for his talent and expertise and cannot wait to have him capture more of our special moments in the future.

The way they chose the right angle to take beautiful pictures for us is amazing. The rustic color made the pictures more lively, more “art”, more nostalgic and more tranquil than any other type of normal photography that I’ve ever seen.
Seeing what they did just made me and my hubby smile happily in the photoshoot and ever after. We were truly happy to choose them. A highly recommended and must-choose place for every couple who is in love.

Thang was absolutely incredible when he took our engagement photos this year. I was so lucky that we connected and ended up planning an amazing experience from the other side of the world. When I initially contacted him, I was planning a surprise engagement for my to be fiancé during a trip to Halong bay.
He helped me keep it a secret, had stellar communication, and together we planned a day long shoot at multiple locations. On the shooting day, he brought two other photographers on his team and had some absolutely stunning shots that will last us a lifetime.
He is talented beyond belief and we had an amazing time. If you are thinking about working with him, know that he is the right person for your special day/occasion and that you won’t regret your decision (and that you will walk away feeling incredibly lucky and happy). Thank you so much, Thang! 110/100

Thang… What dreamy adventures we shared with you!
First, exchanging with him and getting to know each other before the actual photoshoot was such a pleasure! It’s so rare and precious to meet someone as well organized and passionate about every single of his artistic projects ✨
During the photoshoot, he took care of us, always concerned about how comfortable we were, guiding us with poses and right angles! We had so much fun and at the same time, it was pretty emotional to connect this way with my partner in front of his lens 💛
He also adapted his style to ours to create an intimate, sensual, and dark atmosphere that we absolutely ADORE!
Thang is a gem as a Photographer and a human being. We will never thank him enough for these fantastic moments we’ve created together!

I would like to send Thang and his team a real big thanks for the beautifully captured moments at my wedding. What I expected him to do at first was simply just taking the moment but it turned out the photos are not only captured in “the right moment” but also look so naturally emotional.
I love how Thang and his team see the spectacular side of those small things that normal people wouldn’t even notice. As a bride, I was so tied up in the wedding so I felt so sorry for not being able to take full care of them, if I had had more time I would have talked to them more and gotten to know them better.
Again, thank you ‘các anh’ for seizing the precious and priceless moments of one of the most important events in our life. I wish you lots of health and happiness to bring happiness anywhere you’re going to. <3

We made the decision to have our pre-wedding photoshoot about six months prior to our actual wedding after coming across an incredible collection of wedding photos that perfectly captured the style we envisioned. We knew we wanted something intimate, with a vintage feel, and a connection to nature, and that’s exactly what we achieved with Jasmin, our chosen photographer.
Jasmin’s talent and expertise were invaluable throughout the entire process. His exceptional skills behind the camera resulted in stunning photos that exceeded our expectations. We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome and couldn’t be happier with the final results.
Thank you, Thang, for your immense talent, dedication, and artistic vision. The pre-wedding photos you captured and the editing you applied surpassed our expectations, creating stunning pieces of art that we will cherish for a lifetime.

Thắng and his team are very passionate professionals who love their job. They took amazing photos for our pre-wedding and wedding. His attention to detail and eye for good angles are commendable.
We would highly recommend Jasmin Wedding to capture the precious moments on your special day.

We could not be happier with our engagement photos! He came so close to our inspiration pictures and also gave us so many prompts! They are better than we could have imagined!

We’re super thankful that we somehow found Thang and his amazing work on Instagram as we were planning for our elopement photoshoot. His works display amazing play of colours, nature oriented and accurately portray couples’ genuine happiness and loving moments. We can definitely feel his passion for photography in general and for capturing love in particular.
During the whole process, from initial online meeting (as we’re overseas) to the execution, anh Thang and the Jasmin Wedding Photography team have been the most supportive and accommodating to ensure that we’re comfortable from where and how to pose to whether we were feeling too cold in that Northwestern Vietnam’s winter.
Harry is usually uncomfortable in front of camera, yet Thang’s guidance and encouragement made Harry feel less tense and actually started to love taking photo now. We have built strong rapport during the process, which enable us to trust him completely during the photoshoot sessions. The results? Well, we can only say that they are magical!!!

Our experience working with Thang was amazing. He made us feel so comfortable and guided us the whole time! We had never had professional photos done before, and I’ll admit I was a bit nervous about how it would go, especially since we were coming all the way from Canada and our only communication had been online and over a few video calls. We felt right at ease and I could not believe how amazing the photos looked after just seeing a few sneak peeks during our first shoot!!
I was initially drawn to Thang’s work via his Instagram page and LOVED the way he captured the couple’s moments and captured the beautiful surroundings as well. The fact that he even travelled to the location we’d chosen for our wedding (Phu Quoc Island) was so incredible. Our wedding went off without a hitch, he also found/suggested a florist that provided the decor for our ceremony and a beautiful backdrop for our photos.
We are forever grateful to have met and worked with Thang. We have gorgeous photos we will be able to look at and remember our trip by, and share with our family and our future children one day! do not hesitate to hire him, he is the best!! Thank you, Thang <3

As a wedding planner partnered with Jasmin Wedding Photography in Vietnam, I admire their impeccable professionalism and distinctive photographic style. Jasmin Wedding Photography excels in professionalism, ensuring every detail is meticulously handled.
Their signature color palette in photos is captivating, adding a unique vibrancy and elegance to each shot. Collaborating with Jasmin Wedding Photography has been a pleasure.
They consistently deliver exceptional quality and a seamless professional experience, making them an ideal choice for creating memorable weddings.

Three weeks before leaving for Vietnam for my 40th Birthday, my sister Vanessa Webber had this crazy idea that Mick and I should elope. With me giving a half-assed ‘sure, you plan us a wedding and we’ll do it’, she ran off and arranged a Zoom meeting with the sweetest photographer in Vietnam – Thang.
Things very quickly came together and all of a sudden we were surrounded by the most caring, generous, and talented team that brought it all to life.
So, massive thanks to all of the incredible people who made this the most magical day of our lives.
Firstly, thank you Vanessa for pushing us, supporting us, finding Thang, and being so excited about every moment of our journey. Jasmin Wedding, Thang, thank you for your care and support through planning our special day and for introducing us to all the right people.
Thank you for making our day so fun and for the stunning captured memories not only on our wedding day but for giving your time so generously in Sunset Town the night before too. A special thank you to Tinh too for the photos, the fun, and for entertaining the girls.
We can’t thank Thang and his team enough for creating the most perfect day for us. The memories captured are absolutely stunning, beyond what I ever could have imagined, and he was so fun to spend our time with. 100% recommend!

Initially, we were having uncertainties and doubts when we were looking for a photographer to have our pre-wedding photoshoots done in Vietnam. Fortunately, Thang from Jasmin Wedding Photography quickly dispelled our doubts when we reached out to him.
Thang readily agreed to meet us over a Zoom call to discuss in detail about the itinerary. He suggested several beautiful locations after understanding what we are looking for.
Together with his crew consisting of his assistant, make-up artist and the driver, we headed to Moc Chau for our photoshoot. Overall, the experience was pleasant and fun, though tiring as the 2-days photoshoot went smoothly as planned. Everyone was really accommodating and professional!
We received our photos from Thang punctually and he was willing to further adjust the edits to meet our expectations.
Will definitely recommend Jasmin Wedding Photography if you are looking for an Elopement Wedding Photographer in Vietnam.

Thang took our wedding photoshoot for a friend of mine before. I remember the first time I saw her photos on FB, I was like “Wow, that’s an impressive and unique prewedding album”. When it was my time to look for a photographer for my own prewedding shots, I contacted Jasmin Wedding.
Thang is an amazing storyteller, attentive, passionate, and willing to go the extra mile to capture the best photos. Before the photoshoot, Thang took time to get to know us as a couple, to understand our story, and to capture it in every shot.
During the session, he encouraged us to be ourselves as he is invisible 😋. His kind words allowed us to loosen up and show off our love in the most natural way. Needless to say the final photos are unexpectedly gorgeous. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of pre-wedding photographer.
Thanks a lot for capturing our intimate moments through your lens.

Thang is the most fantastic photographer I have met. He has an amazing talent for telling stories through photos. You won’t know when and how he shot, but his pictures will make you “wow” because of their beauty and emotion.
His professional support tells me that he is genuinely passionate about photography. I have never regretted collaborating with Thang for my Intimate Wedding cause I’ve got really great photos.

The photographers were friendly and gave me helpful directions for better pictures/videos without being too intrusive.
Very approachable and replies to questions and requests promptly. The pictures turned out great.

We were so lucky when our friend recommended this photographer! We were looking for something low-key but poetic and romantic, and he delivered just that. He made great location suggestions, as you can see in the photos.
He successfully captured our most natural moments, we both looked so happy and we both shone together. This isn’t easy, since most people only focus on the bride. The photos were edited and sent to us really quickly, I don’t remember asking him for them.
My husband and I were, and still are, very pleased with the result. We plan to call him again for our 5th year anniversary 🙂
Thank you for helping to make our wedding perfect!

Thang is the absolute diamond of photographers. We booked Thang for an engagement photoshoot because we wanted a photographer who understood not only weddings but we wanted someone who also understood Vietnam.
We initially hired Thang because he understood Hanoi and how to still take beautiful photos even in the midst of traffic, people, streets, and restaurants. He delivered more than that!
Thang was so fun, kind, gentle, and intuitive – and he captured photos that were so intimate, and he fully captured mine and my husband’s relationship and personalities.
From booking him to receiving the beautifully packaged photos, we had the best experience with him! He even shared tons of photos with us. Every single photo of the day, I genuinely love.

With so much love! Mary & David
Thang made our dreams come true. His work belongs in a luxury magazine. He knows how to capture the love and emotions. My now husband and I always wanted to do something different, I personally love the mountains and scenic backdrops and after reviewing Jasmin Photography and Thang’s beautiful work and style we contacted him through DM, which eventually we jumped into a video consultation call, to discuss other locations (which I already had Sapa in mind), our vision, and getting to know each other better; making the planning more comfortable and trusting the process.
Planning all the way from Canada was a success! And like many would be I was hesitant at first, but communicating and working with Thang is like with a friend.
He is also very detail-oriented, he remembers everything haha. I am SO picky myself, and to find someone who understood my few requests and listens, I knew working with him was a good choice.
We now have memories for a lifetime to share with our friends and family and one day our kids. We added the video option, it is SO worth it.
Thang helped with poses and will guide you on the day of, so not to worry!
Thank you Thang for your passion and professionalism. We hope to grab coffee one day in the future <3

Speechless. Speechless. Speechless.
My fiancé and I went to Vietnam for a holiday. In Phú Quốc he proposed to me, and that was my first speechless moment. The ring he gave me was my second speechless moment. I thought I had experienced it all, and that there couldn’t be another speechless moment. But when we found Thang – Jasmin Wedding to capture our special moment afterward, I had no idea another speechless moment was waiting for me.
Thang gave us our third speechless moment. The way he took the pictures was indescribable. The location he chose for the photoshoot was perfect, and the inspiration he had prepared for us was spot on. Everything just came together. All we had to do was smile and enjoy our engagement. He helped us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, guiding us into the perfect poses.
When we received the results, it completely blew us away and gave us that final, third speechless moment. Every single picture we looked at was unique and more beautiful than we could have ever hoped or expected. These photos will remain incredibly beautiful forever, and we will never forget this moment.
We are both endlessly grateful to Thang.

Look no further, you have found your wedding photographer!
We made contact with Thang several months before our planned elopement and it was apparent that Thang is no ordinary wedding photographer. He was so thoughtful of our situation, the story we wanted to tell about our wedding and our guests. We were planning a ceremony just with our parents and wanted to prioritize their comfort during the wedding and our time in Vietnam. With Thang’s excellent communication, efficiency, and resourcefulness we were able to quickly able come up with a wedding plan that we were happy with.
Unfortunately, Typhoon Yagi hit a few days before we were due to arrive in Vietnam and threw a very big spanner in the works. What should have been an extremely stressful time was made bearable knowing that our Big Day was in Thang’s hands – he truly is our Fairy Godparent.
Thang was able to take care of the change in plans seamlessly – scouting a new wedding location, changing the wedding day to account for the weather, and liaising with local vendors on the fly to ensure the smoothest wedding day possible. He even met with us and our parents on the day before our wedding to alleviate our worries and introduce himself so that we felt more comfortable with him on the actual wedding day.
Thang has the most peaceable and calming presence and despite my husband and I being rather camera shy and concerned about the immense heat on the day of our wedding, we needn’t have worried. Our wedding photos truly captured the magic we felt on the day and have somehow made our memories more beautiful.
Thang surprised us with a photo album of Polaroids the day after our wedding, and we were all moved to tears looking at what he created for us. We couldn’t be happier that we chose Thang to be our wedding photographer and can honestly say we would love to catch up with him in the future when we visit Vietnam again as we feel we have made a new friend.
Words cannot describe our gratitude and appreciation – thanks Thang, you made our wedding so special <3

We had the most incredible experience during our adventurous elopement wedding, and having Thang as our photographer made it even more special.
From the very beginning, he was kind, helpful, and genuinely passionate. His experience truly shows, not only in the stunning quality of the photos, but also in the way he guided us throughout the day.
Thang knows all the most beautiful and unique spots, and his creative eye turned every moment into art. He was incredibly patient, always making sure we felt comfortable and relaxed, and his calm, kind presence made everything feel so natural.
We couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture such an intimate and meaningful day.
Thang is simply the best. We are beyond grateful for the memories he helped us preserve so beautifully.

We were so happy with our elopement experience!
Thang was so helpful – from the initial consultation and hearing our ideas to checking in via WhatsApp the few weeks leading up to make sure our day was 100% perfect. He was able to bring my vision to life and capture the day beautifully.
The locations that he chose were exactly what we had in mind and the shots came out better than we could have ever imagined.
This was our first time doing a photoshoot so we were nervous but Thang gave us lots of instruction and encouragement which made for some stunning photos!
He even introduced us to a tasty little spot for lunch!
The entire experience was amazing and we would definitely recommend his services.
