Ao dai fitting in dozens of colors, hair & makeup, then a guided walk with a local photographer — Temple of Literature, Hoan Kiem Lake, the Old Quarter, Tran Quoc Pagoda or Phan Dinh Phung street.
A relaxed 90-minute session with a photographer who knows the city — Huc Bridge at dawn, café alleys, Long Bien Bridge, rooftop at golden hour. Ao dai for everyone, kids included.
A Cáo artist comes to your hotel room with a full kit. Natural, glam or Korean-style — done in about an hour, holds all night in Hanoi humidity.
We plan the spot, set up fresh flowers and lights with our sister florist Hoa Lang Thang, and a photographer captures the moment discreetly — then a short couple shoot.
Dress, makeup, hair, photographer, transport and a planned route — for couples who want Vietnam in their wedding album.
Something beyond the classic walk: Hanoi Train Street at dawn, a day trip to Ninh Binh’s limestone karsts, a vintage Vespa, a rooftop at night. Tell us the picture in your head.

Where is the best place for an ao dai photoshoot in Hanoi?
Temple of Literature (Van Mieu), Hoan Kiem Lake & Huc Bridge, Old Quarter & Dong Xuan Market are the classic choices. We start early (7–8am) to avoid crowds and heat, and route the walk so you reach 3–5 spots within an hour or two of your hotel.
Do you come to hotels anywhere in Hanoi?
Yes. Artists travel to hotels and Airbnbs across the city; for outer districts we may add a small travel fee, which we tell you before you confirm.
Do I need to book in advance?
Two to three days is ideal so we can match you with an artist and photographer and reserve the ao dai in your size. Same-day is sometimes possible — message us on WhatsApp and we will tell you honestly.
Where do we meet?
Your artist comes to your hotel or Airbnb for makeup and hair. The photographer then meets you at the first location, which we plan around where you are staying.
What should I wear under the ao dai?
A light, neutral top and fitted bottoms (leggings or slim trousers) work best. We bring the ao dai and the traditional trousers; you keep your own shoes, so choose something comfortable for walking.
How many photos do we get and how fast?
All the good frames from the session, edited, within 48 hours via an online gallery. Rush delivery the same evening is available.
