Availability of our photographers
Depending on what time of the day you want, and what date your event date is, we truly believe in first come first serve.

May Dream Team all ready for the upcoming events season, we are sure we can help you organise something

Why are your different photo sessions priced differently?
Every event is operated differently, the guest attendance numbers can fluctuate from anywhere from 1 person to 1000 people and the number of photos given also affects the price. Overall it depends on the live circumstances on the day of the event. If the activities schedule is full-on, of course, there will be a lot of crazy photo taking, if it is only of people standing at a party drinking alcohol all day all night, literally you won't get much essence out of your photos.
Also for example some clients like their LinkedIn profile pictures to be highly polished up edited, therefore they are more pricer. Some clients just like normal editing that does not deal with pimples or photoshop slimming of face and arms. It is only if you request "highly edited" photos that we charge extra.
All the prices written on our website includes the actual photo-taking on the day, the culling and editing of photos afterwards in post-production, email gallery send-outs, unlimited digital downloads of the photos in HD resolution or the web-sized resolution of your choice, using the unique download pin that May Dream gave you.
Making your bookings
Use whatever platform that is most convenient for you. We are on Facebook, Instagram, WeChat, WhatsApp, and Zoom. Typing sounds very different to someone actually speaking to you so give us a call to have a chat with us at
When a phone call is made, you are able to express your ideas clearly and openly.
You also get to hear Joyce's personality through the phone!
It's a great way to see if you click with us or not.
If I am busy photographing other photo sessions and cannot pick up your phone call, it is best to send your inquiry to our email: maydreamphotography@gmail.com with event information such as time duration so we can curate a quote for you.
Payment Confirmation
Your booking will ONLY be deemed to be confirmed once the total amount is fully paid off BEFORE the
photo session occurs.
If the full amount is not paid well before the photo session your designated photographer WILL NOT show up to your event. Confirmation verbally through the phone or on Facebook messenger
DOES NOT suffice for the booking to be an absolute yes. NO EXCEPTIONS.
This will also apply to additional services or products that you would like such as additional highlight videos being made, and photo prints etc. We only begin doing the work once we have received the relevant payment.
How long is the wait for my photos?
The turn around rate for your beautifully edited photo gallery is usually around 2-6 days.
During busy peak seasons with numerous large birthday parties on during the spring to summer period (October- April) the waiting time is approximately 1-3 weeks. Of course, we do our very best to give our clients the photos in a timely manner, cause we want to be able to post up the photos as soon as possible to share the excitement that left us buzzing from the event too.
As a reasonable human being when you go to bed, we go to sleep as well, we do not pull all-nighters to finish editing your photos as it has an impact on our photographer(s) health and well-being.
Do I get to pick out what you post on social media & website?
Yes, you are allowed to pick out which photos you allow us to post onto social media such as our fb business page or be featured on our website as a part of our portfolio. There is a heart icon function on the digital online gallery that I give you, and you would just need to click the heart icon on each photo, only once, so that the Pixieset system can create a favourites list for me.
Then I will know exactly what the filename of the image you clicked "heart" on was and proceed to post those up. May Dream Photography is a BIG LOVER of posting, we enjoy sharing the excitement and vibes that kept us overjoyed for days and weeks.
We love sharing our work and beautiful edits with our May Dream fans on our Facebook page, therefore we will not accept bookings that do not allow us to post anything at all. IF you do not heart icon any photos for us, we will pick out the dozen or so of the best images that we adore very much to be added to our website.
Can you make a photo-book for me?
We would be pleased to design and lay out a beautiful photo book for you. You can choose which kind of texture you'd like for your cover which we have available in matte, glossy or linen. Also, let us know your favourite colour(s) so we keep it in mind and incorporate it into the photo book as much as we can. Primarily we use the Milk Books platform to make the photo book for you as the paper's quality is exceptional and the colours stay so true to the actual edit we did on the photo. It is simple and elegant sporting a timeless look with its minimalist approach so that the viewer can focus solely on the gorgeousness of the images.

Why can't I get my photos immediately after the photo session?
Great question, post processing is an important part of what makes up our service. At May Dream we don't serve raw/unedited photos much like how chefs would not serve raw meat on a platter for you at a restaurant.
Day of a May Dream Photographer:
We photograph like the ninjas that we are, afterwards we hand pick out all the good photos by putting 5 stars on them (this part is called culling), then after culling, we edit all the photos that we picked out and then upload them like crazy onto an online gallery for you. The file sizes are humongous cause of its HD-ness, so it takes A VERY long time to upload. You can download the digital photos in HD resolution or web-sized format of your choice, as many times as you want with your unique download pin.
Follow the step by step video instructions here about how to download your photos
The amount of photos given will depend on the actual footage that we get on the day as some guests don't like their photos taken or nothing is really happening at the event, no cake, no dancing, no speeches, no kids running around, no hugs, no nothing, thennnn..... logically there isn't really anything that we can photograph, other than the staged group photos that we gather everyone up for.
Write us message and tell us all about your big day :)
