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.

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.

Cai came to the shoot with plenty of pose ideas and guides, and his approachable attitude made our shoot very enjoyable. He entertained our questions about his job, made good conversation, and humored our goofiness. We got our photos in a little over an hour after we finished. (I requested the photos over Google Drive.) Update: Just to clarify, he will edit the photos you request; the examples attached to this review were not edited at my request.
Details: Couples portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is very flexible depending on your needs. If you decide to add to take/ away certain shots or add additional time to the photo shoot that is something we can always work around.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We will first go over any questions you may have for me first. Then we can discuss more specifics afterwards. Don't be shy in asking any questions!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been shooting nonstop for the last 3-4 years now. Take a look at my IG @caispictures for some of my work!
