Edit & Deliver

Your final images are professionally edited for natural colour and beautiful light, then delivered digitally.

The only additional costs to consider are transport and your Angkor temple pass.

Temple passes are required to enter Angkor Archaeological Park and must be purchased separately. I recommend buying your pass online at least five days in advance to avoid any issues, though you may purchase them close to the shoot time if needed. You can purchase your Angkor Archeological Park ticket here.

Transport is not included. You are welcome to arrange your own or transport can be arranged easily when making your booking – just let us know.

If you decide to book yourself, I recommend booking private transport services in Siem Reap through Siem Reap Airport Transfers 

Post Production will be included for the number of images in your package. All images will be edited to the standard of the images on this website. You may choose up to 5 images once delivered for extra post production free of charge. If you need extra work done such as skin re-touching or things removed or any excess post production, there will be an additional fee. No extra post production is seen in any of the images on this website.

Early morning photoshoots in Siem Reap offer the best conditions for high-quality photography, especially at Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples. The light is softer and more flattering, temperatures are cooler, and humidity is lower, which means you look more comfortable and natural in your photos.

Starting early also allows us to avoid large tour groups and crowds. This is particularly important for Angkor Wat sunrise photoshoots and temple photography, where popular locations become busy very quickly after sunrise.

While the final start time is always your choice, I generally recommend beginning your Siem Reap photoshoot between 5:30am and 7:30am for the best results.

Afternoon and later-day photoshoots are also possible. If you prefer a different time of day, please get in touch and I will help plan a photoshoot schedule that suits you while still achieving the best possible images.

Payment is due in full in cash (USD) on the day.

Payment can also be made via PayPal but there is a 10% additional charge.

Payment can also be made by Wise Transfer, again with a 10% charge.

If you wish to pay by another method please discuss with me first. All prices are in USD.

Your photos will be delivered digitally via a private online gallery, where you can easily view, download, and share your high-resolution images.

The gallery works on desktop and mobile, and you will have full access to download your images for personal use.

Image delivery typically takes between 5 and 10 days.

During particularly busy periods, including Christmas, New Year, and peak travel seasons in Siem Reap, delivery times may be longer due to high shooting and editing demand. During very busy periods, I reserve the right to extend delivery times as needed to maintain image quality.

If you require your photos by a specific date, express delivery may be available for a selection of images or the full gallery for an additional fee. Please let me know before your photoshoot so this can be discussed in advance.

Dress comfortably for the heat and humidity while respecting Angkor temple dress rules. Shoulders and knees must be covered at all times. Wedding dresses, formal suits, and similar attire are not permitted inside the temple complex.

Closed shoes are strongly recommended, ideally waterproof, as temple paths can be uneven and slippery. Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics that dry quickly and do not easily show sweat in the tropical climate.

When selecting colours, soft and natural tones work best against the stone temples of Angkor. Earthy shades, neutrals, pastels, soft blues, and muted greens photograph beautifully and create a timeless look. Warmer tones such as mustard, burnt orange, or burgundy can add subtle contrast. An all-white outfit also photographs very well.

Scarves are not accepted as cover-ups at Angkor, so outfits must meet dress requirements on their own. If you plan to change outfits, this should be done in a vehicle or a bathroom, which may require a short walk from the temple area.

For couples or groups, coordinating or complementary colors work well on camera. You are welcome to browse my gallery for inspiration before your photoshoot.

Your edited photos are backed up until you have successfully downloaded your images and confirmed that everything has been received and is satisfactory.

After this point, long-term storage and backup of the files becomes your responsibility. While reasonable care is taken during the delivery period, I cannot guarantee indefinite storage of image files.

For this reason, I strongly recommend downloading your photos promptly and backing them up to multiple locations once received.

Siem Reap Photographer is a premium photography service, and pricing reflects the experience, time, and professional equipment required to consistently deliver high-quality images at Angkor Wat and other temples.

If this service is outside your budget, you may wish to consider Angkor Wat Photographer, which works with a network of local photographers offering more budget-friendly photoshoot options at the Angkor temples. This can be a good alternative if price is the primary factor.

If you would like guidance choosing a photographer that better fits your budget, feel free to get in touch and I can point you in the right direction.

21+ days’ notice

7–20 days’ notice
A 50% cancellation fee applies, or we can reschedule once, subject to availability.

Less than 48 hours’ notice

If you need to make changes, please let me know as early as possible. I will always try to offer the best available solution where scheduling allows.

Can you arrange transport to the photoshoot?

Easily! Just let us know if you would like us to arrange transport for you when you make a booking. This can make things run smoothly as my trusted drivers know exactly where to meet and I can plan everything before.

Alternatively, you can book your own transport when visiting Siem Reap through Siem Reap Airport Transfers, a private transport company providing private car transfers in Siem Reap and across Cambodia.
