Che Hoang Huy, Che Hoang Huy Photography, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Everyone had a confused and anxious youth, Huy was fortunate to be able to escape the dead end. At first Huy was just a teenage boy holding a camera with his friends, fascinated with the pictures he took with the world through the lens. For a long time, Huy found the passion and excitement when photographing the bride and groom, weddings and smiles filled with happiness.

Huy's goal is to tell your wedding stories through pictures with a sincere and intimate perspective. Huy believes that the wedding photos are not only boring through the awkwardly arranged photos, but also the pictures full of emotion and true happiness of the bride, groom and the participants.

Huy always believes that Huy is not a photographer, he is the one who tells the story of people through pictures.

For Huy, Huy will respect and convey the messages that God brings as life, love, happiness.
