About A Picture Book Studio
A Picture Book Studio is a photography and videography studio based at The Cathay on Handy Road, covering events islandwide across Singapore. The studio is KakiList verified and holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating across 121 Google reviews — a robust sample that provides a reliable indicator of client satisfaction. Pricing is positioned at the mid-range tier, though specific package costs are not publicly listed and should be confirmed directly.
Enquiring typically begins with sharing your event date, venue, and headcount or coverage scope. For weddings, this means confirming whether you need coverage for the ROM solemnisation only, the full banquet, or both — and whether a second shooter or videography team is required alongside photography. For milestone celebrations such as baby full-month, 100-day, or birthday parties, it is worth discussing the number of hours required, the deliverables (edited digital gallery, prints, highlight reel), and the expected turnaround time. Couples and families should book well in advance — popular Saturdays, particularly in March, April, October, and November, fill up 6 to 12 months ahead. A deposit of typically 30 to 50 per cent on signing secures the date, with the balance due closer to the event.
To take the next step, reach out to A Picture Book Studio at their Handy Road studio or through their enquiry channel to share your event date and scope, request a package breakdown, and confirm availability before placing a deposit.
Lock in the date with a written contract and deposit, confirm the public liability insurance and any HDB / condo / hotel venue paperwork, and put the deliverables, balance schedule, and rescheduling policy in writing.

For weddings, 6 to 12 months in advance is the standard lead time, particularly for popular Saturdays in the peak wedding months of March, April, October, and November. In-demand photographers and videographers fill their calendars early, and enquiring late often means the preferred date is already taken. For milestone celebrations such as baby full-month, 100-day ceremonies, or birthday parties, 6 to 12 weeks is generally sufficient, though longer lead times during festive or school-holiday periods are advisable. A signed contract and deposit are what formally secure the date — verbal holds are not standard practice in Singapore's events industry.
The standard industry practice is a non-refundable deposit of 30 to 50 per cent on signing, which holds the date and covers pre-event planning, consultation time, and the opportunity cost of turning away other bookings for that slot. The balance is typically due one to two weeks before the event. Confirm in writing what happens if you need to reschedule — most reputable studios allow a date change within a reasonable window without forfeiting the deposit, provided sufficient notice is given. Also clarify the policy for force-majeure situations such as illness or venue cancellation. For events at HDB void decks, condo function rooms, or hotel venues, ask whether A Picture Book Studio carries public liability insurance, as some venues require a copy of the certificate before permitting setup.
