Why Clients Trust Skai Chan Photography
Why Couple Photos Matter
Every relationship has its own story, personality, and journey. Professional couple photography celebrates the connection you share and preserves meaningful memories together.
Professional couple photography can:
- capture genuine emotions and interactions
- celebrate important milestones
- document your relationship journey
- create meaningful keepsakes together
- preserve memories that last a lifetime
Whether you're celebrating an anniversary or simply documenting your relationship, these photographs become treasured reminders of your time together.
Couple Photography Sessions in Singapore
You don't need a special occasion to have great photographs together. Couple photography can simply be about spending time together, having fun, exploring somewhere you like, and creating photographs that capture who you are as a couple.
My approach is relaxed, flexible, and often spontaneous. Rather than putting you through a long list of poses, I'll guide you when needed and play things by ear as the session unfolds. We can chat, walk, explore, joke around, try different ideas, or simply enjoy the experience together while I look for genuine expressions, interactions, and little moments that make the photographs feel like you.
At the same time, casual doesn't mean the photographs have to look ordinary. I can keep things natural and effortless, or bring in more deliberate posing, creative direction, professional lighting, and a polished finish for a more high-end look. Whether you want something fun and candid or something more sophisticated and striking, I'll adapt the session to what you're looking for.

Couple photography can be as relaxed or as polished as you want it to be - from a fun afternoon together to a carefully crafted high-end portrait session. The common thread is creating photographs that feel genuine, personal and enjoyable to look back on.

I photograph couples all over Singapore and can adapt the session to the location and atmosphere you want.

Reviews
Clients' Testimonials
I booked Skai for a proposal photography session, and was extremely pleased with photos taken on the day. Skai helped me choose the perfect location for a quiet and intimate proposal, and was very helpful with planning the whole proposal out. I don't have much experience posing for photos, but thankfully he is very patient, friendly and professional, helping guide us on the day. Very thankful for Skai for helping capture this special moment in my life, would highly recommend to anyone.
- Keagan Foster
I had already twice the chance to get a photo shoot with Skai, first solo and second time together with my hubby. Both times I was from beginning on amazed by Skai's passion, patience and eye for detail during the shoot. Not only did he sacrifice hours of sleep to catch the perfect light, but also endured high energetic to-be professionals. Having a photo shooting with Skai you can just be yourself and natural.

Skai the Couple Photographer
Hello! I'm Skai, a freelance photographer based in Singapore specialising in couple photography. I strongly believe in documenting all beautiful things to preserve good memories and share inspiring stories because happiness is contagious.
During my teenage years, I faced numerous rejections from crushes, and my love letters and poems were always met with disappointment. Being a naïve person, I channelled my agonies from my failures into a passion for helping others find companionship. Witnessing my friends' happiness in their relationships brought me immense joy.
Now, as a professional photographer, I utilise my skills and passion in doing couple photoshoots. Fun fact: I also specialise in dating profile photography, assisting singles in finding their perfect match, and I'm there to capture those unforgettable "yes" moments during surprise proposals.
My good karma has led me to find a loving life partner (my wife) who embraces all my flaws, including my passion for photography that's often undervalued by potential clients, presenting challenges in making ends meet.
If, like me, you believe in true love, let's celebrate it together by capturing your story through a couple shoot.
What Makes Skai's Approach Unique
Couple photography is about more than just pictures - it's about celebrating connection, intimacy, and the unique love story you share. As a professional couple photographer in Singapore, my portfolio showcases authentic, romantic portraits that blend flattering light, technical expertise, creativity, and a personalised approach. Here's what makes my couple photography stand out:
- Comfortable and Relaxed Experience:
Being in front of the camera can feel intimidating, which is why I prioritise creating a safe, friendly, and relaxed environment. I maintain a no-touch posing approach, communicate clearly, and encourage laughter and playfulness to capture candid moments that feel natural and genuine.
- Flattering Light and High-Quality Photographs:
Lighting is everything. I specialise in creating flattering light that enhances natural features and adds depth. With professional equipment and refined techniques, I craft three-dimensional images that highlight your connection beautifully. From soft flash setups to advanced retouching, I ensure every photo is polished, dynamic, and ready for display - portraits that truly stand out from traditional natural-light photography.
- Personalised Photoshoot:
Every couple has a unique story. Through bespoke photography sessions, I tailor each shoot to your personalities, preferences, and vision. Whether it's a theme, location, or style, I collaborate closely with you to create meaningful concepts that reflect your relationship authentically.
- Flexibility in Location:
I offer on-location sessions for a natural and relaxed setting. Whether outdoors at a park or beach, or indoors at your home or office, even in dimly lit spaces or at night, I bring the equipment and expertise to capture stunning, memorable portraits anywhere.
- Professional Service and Value:
I believe in offering exceptional value. You'll receive professional, heartfelt photography that celebrates your bond and delivers timeless portraits worth treasuring.
Skai's Vision in Couple Photography
My vision in couple photography is to capture the unique love story of each pair through timeless, emotive portraits. Every session is a journey - fun, relaxed, and deeply personal - designed to celebrate connection, affection, and teamwork. I see couple photography not only as a way to create beautiful images but also as an opportunity for couples to strengthen their bond, express themselves creatively, and preserve memories that will be treasured for a lifetime.
My goal is to provide portraits that evoke emotion and authenticity, reflecting the essence of each relationship. By combining artistry with storytelling, I create photographs that serve as reminders of love, joy, and shared experiences, becoming cherished keepsakes for years to come.
Skai's Journey as a Couple Photographer
My journey into couple photography began alongside event and portrait shoots, where I sought opportunities to expand my creative repertoire. Starting with friends, I quickly realised the unique dynamics of photographing two people together - guiding their interactions to create natural, heartfelt images. As my portfolio grew, clients began approaching me for couple sessions, recognising the authenticity and emotion in my work.
Over time, couple photography became intertwined with other projects, from surprise proposals and ROM ceremonies to weddings and even interior shoots where couples wanted portraits together. This versatility enriched my experience and allowed me to explore love stories across diverse settings. Today, couple photography remains one of my most rewarding genres - a chance to celebrate intimacy, capture raw emotions, and tell visual stories of love that endure.
Tips & Tricks for Couple Photoshoots
- Types of Pre-wedding Photoshoots in Singapore
Couple Photography Lighting: With & Without Flash

▲ (High-end) Outdoor couple photography using flash light
▲ (Casual) Outdoor couple photography using natural light
Both types of photoshoots have their pros and cons. It's up to individuals to decide which is most suitable and doable for the theme.
I've highlighted some of the major pros and cons of both of them below. For very detailed explanations, do view my article on flash VS natural light photography.
On a side note, during a high-end photoshoot, the photographer can switch to natural light whenever required (eg. lack of time, premises don't allow any set-up); a casual photoshoot cannot be switched to a high-end photoshoot (eg. during backlight situation, extremely harsh sunlight) since the photographer won't be bringing his lighting equipment along.
Couple Photography With Flash (High-End)
High-end photoshoot involves professional lighting. It's more complicated and difficult to do.
Advantages:
With the aid of professional lighting, the photographs will likely be more eye-catching. There's more flexibility in the angle of the shoot since backlighting problems are more likely to be overcome; beautiful sunset photographs can be captured. The photographs will eventually look more professional.
Disadvantages:
The greatest disadvantage of using professional lighting is its portability. It's extremely difficult to travel with big and bulky equipment. It also takes a much longer time to set up the lighting. Testing of light is needed whenever there's a change of angle or spot of the model; even a step forward or backward would affect the exposure. If travelling is required in between shooting locations, it will require extra time and effort to dismantle the equipment, and set it up again at the next location.
Couple Photography Without Flash (Natural Light)
Casual photoshoot depends on natural (sunlight) or ambient light (existing lamps with or without a mixture of sunlight).
Advantages:
The couple photoshoot can be done much quicker using natural than professional lighting; given the same amount of time, more photographs can be snapped. It's also easier for the photographer to focus on the expression during the couple photoshoot.
Disadvantages:
The quality of the photographs is very much affected by the weather (sun). There will be directions that the photoshoot can't be done, for example, during a backlighting situation (sunset). Since DSLR is easily available, it's more difficult for casual photographs to stand out from the crowd; unlike high-end photography which requires extra equipment and more skill to execute.
How to Plan for a Successful Couple Photoshoot
- Choose a location:
Choose a location that is meaningful to you and your partner, it can be a place where you had your first date or a place that holds special memories. This will help you feel comfortable and relaxed during the photoshoot.
- Plan your outfits:
Choose outfits that are comfortable and that you feel good in. Coordinating colours and styles can add visual interest to your photos. Avoid clothes with bold patterns or logos, as they can be distracting.
- Decide on the style of photography:
Decide on the style of photography that you prefer, whether it be more traditional or candid, posed or natural. This will help me understand your vision and tailor the photoshoot to your preferences.
- Schedule the photoshoot:
Schedule the photoshoot for a time when the lighting is best, whether it be early morning or late afternoon. This will ensure that the photos are well-lit and have a natural, warm tone.
- Communicate with your photographer:
Communicate with me prior to the photoshoot to discuss any specific shots or poses you would like, and to share any ideas you have. This will help me understand your vision and create the best possible photos for you.
- Be relaxed:
Remember to have fun and be relaxed during the photoshoot. The more comfortable you are, the better

FAQ
How do we prepare for our couple photoshoot?
Can we bring props to our photoshoot?
How long does a couple photoshoot typically take?
The actual duration of a couple photoshoot depends on various factors. The most important ones are the number of good photos that the couple expects, the number of outfits, the type of lighting used and the travelling time in between the photography spots.
Firstly, the longer time the couple photoshoot lasts, the more chances of good photos will be taken, including different varieties of them.
Secondly, if the couple has to get changed into different outfits, it takes time to find a place to get changed and the new styling will also incur more time.
Thirdly, since flash photography requires frequent testing of light, it will definitely require more time.
Lastly, if the couple wishes to take photos at different spots of the location or even at different locations, much of the booked time will be spent on travelling.
You shouldn't be rushing through a couple shoot if both you and your partner aren't professional models. It also takes quite a bit of time for everyone, including the photographer, to warm up to each other.
Eventually, you should hire a photographer for a longer duration if you truly want to get some well-taken photos with good lighting and expression.
