Cai was awesome! He has a very neat process for engagement shots at the Dallas Arboretum. He is very knowledgeable in the best areas to take shots and he captured the raw moment of our engagement proposal.

I hired Cai to photograph my proposal at the Dallas Botanical Gardens. Cai was extremely helpful and responsive. He gave great recommendations for photo locations since we weren't from the area and even took the time to take us around to some beautiful spots. He was super professional and friendly and made the whole experience seamless. Additionally, his photography work was very high quality and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.

I worked with Cai to schedule and take engagement photos. From the start Cai was very quick to reply, detail oriented and was able provide guidance around how the process would work. We selected two hours of photos with one hour being at The Dallas Arboretum and the second hour at Whiterock Lake. Cai not only offered us a great deal, but did not charge us extraneous fees for editing and travel. At the Arboretum he was punctual and very kind. He directed us to beautiful picturesque spots and guided us through both poses and actions. We then traveled to Whiterock lake where he had selected a three locations that showed off the Dallas skyline, trees and waterfront. What was very important to us was that he was able to work with our dog who was in a number of pictures. The fun, action shots and lightning work Cai captured at the lake were incredible. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We received access to all raw photos the same evening and within a few days we also had our edited photos. We will definitely be using Cai’s services again!!
