Wedding Photographer in Thailand
A documentary wedding photographer & videographer covering ceremonies across Thailand.
Hi! I'm Bird
I'm a wedding photographer in Thailand, and I lead a team of photographers and videographers producing photos and films for couples across the country. Based in Koh Samui, I cover destination weddings and elopements island to island, with a primary focus on the beaches, temples and light of the South. My goal is to capture your wedding with a documentary and artistic vision.
I have a cinematic approach to make your photos unique. The perfect image does not exist; I follow the vibe of your couple. Your love story is different from anyone else's, and it deserves authentic memories. Most weddings run with two of us on the day, and for larger celebrations I bring in up to five, so nothing gets missed when the day is happening in more than one place at once.
Wedding Photography
Across Thailand
I work as a Thailand wedding photographer across the entire country, not just one island or city. Bangkok, Phuket, Koh Samui, the north, the south, wherever your ceremony takes place, I travel to it, and I don't require couples to choose from a set venue list. Whether you're planning a full wedding photoshoot in Thailand or a smaller elopement, the approach stays the same.

How I Work
I work as a documentary photographer first and a portrait photographer second. Before your day I ask about the venue, the timeline and what actually matters to you, so I have a plan and the instinct to drop it if something better happens in front of me.
A lot of couples tell me they feel awkward in front of a camera. I usually don't bring the camera up for the first ten minutes. I'll ask about breakfast, tease the groom about his shoes, whatever gets you talking to each other instead of posing for me.
Weather in Thailand can turn quickly outdoors. I keep shooting whenever it's safe, and I always have an indoor backup location ready if a ceremony needs to move, because the goal is always the best wedding photoshoot possible regardless of what the sky does.
"By the time I actually start shooting, they've forgotten I'm there, and that's exactly the point."
We talk through your date, your venue and the pace of your day, in English or Thai, whichever you prefer.
I work directly with your planner or coordinator ahead of time, so ceremony traditions and family moments are understood before I take the first photo.
I shoot quietly, close enough to catch the small reactions, far enough back that you're not thinking about the camera.
Photos delivered in 10 days as standard, with rush delivery available. Wedding films follow in 5 weeks. Every image reviewed and edited individually.
From the couples
The two of us are pretty reserved and I honestly worried the whole day would feel staged and stiff in front of a stranger with a camera, but somehow none of it did. We ended up dancing right at the edge of the water for almost twenty minutes past sunset and I completely forgot there was a camera anywhere near us the entire time.
My dad doesn't cry, not once in my whole life had I actually seen it happen before that day. There's a photo from right after the vows of him wiping his eyes that I've now sent to basically every single relative we have. Half of them refuse to believe it's real until they see it with their own eyes.
We got the gallery back and I made Daniel sit through all eight hundred photos with me in one sitting, which he still brings up and complains about, but neither of us could stop scrolling through them. My mom back in Singapore had six of them printed and framed before we'd even landed home from the trip ourselves.
Wedding Photography Packages
Combined wedding and elopement packages include both photography and videography, covered by a team of two on the day. Photo-only and video-only packages are also available on their own. Full breakdowns, add-ons and deliverables are on the packages page.
Every love story
deserves to be told like a film.
