Sharon Chen Photography ✓ ACRA Verified

Sharon Chen Photography uses a package-based pricing model, positioned in the mid-range tier. Singapore market norms for photography and videography services: wedding full-day photography typically runs S$2,500–6,000+, full-day videography S$3,000–8,000+, and combined photo-and-video packages can reach S$8,000–15,000+ for premium coverage. Portrait sessions, baby full-month shoots, and birthday event coverage are usually priced lower, often S$500–2,500 depending on duration and deliverables. When requesting a quote, confirm what is included in each package tier: number of hours of coverage, number of edited images or video length, turnaround time, travel charge for non-central venues, and whether a second shooter or assistant is part of the package. Also clarify the deposit amount (typically 30–50% on signing) and the balance schedule. GST may apply depending on the provider's registration status.

Lead time varies significantly by event type. For weddings, particularly popular Saturdays in March, April, October, and November, bookings with well-reviewed photographers tend to fill six to twelve months in advance. Couples who have a firm venue date should enquire as early as possible, as the photographer's calendar — not the venue's — is often the tighter constraint. For birthday parties, baby full-month or 100-day celebrations, and family portrait sessions, six to twelve weeks is generally sufficient, though peak school-holiday periods (June, November, and December) can tighten availability. Confirm whether the date is held by a deposit at the time of enquiry, and ask about the rescheduling policy should your event date change — most photographers allow one rescheduling within a set window without forfeiting the deposit. If any portion of the shoot is outdoors or at an open-air venue, ask about the wet-weather contingency plan before signing.

The Singapore photography industry standard is a non-refundable deposit of 30–50% on signing, which secures the date exclusively for your event and typically covers the pre-event consultation and any planning hours. The remaining balance is usually due one to two weeks before the event date. Confirm these terms in writing before paying. For cancellations, deposits are typically non-refundable but may be transferable to a future date at the photographer's discretion — ask specifically whether this applies and within what timeframe. If your event is at an HDB void deck, condo function room, or a hotel venue, the venue may require the photographer to produce a public liability insurance certificate before allowing entry on the day; confirm this with both the venue and Sharon Chen Photography ahead of time so there are no access issues. Put all deliverables, coverage hours, edited-image count, video duration, turnaround timelines, and rescheduling terms in writing — a signed contract protects both parties.
