I had an amazing experience during my Peranakan-themed photo shoot. The photographer was highly professional and gave confident, easy-to-follow guidance on posing and positioning, helping me look my absolute best in every shot. The wardrobe was impressive, with a wide selection of authentic sarong kebayas, gentlemen’s batik shirts, elegant jewellery, and stylish hair accessories that really elevated the whole look. The locations were fantastic — indoor shots at the stunning Peranakan Museum and outdoor photos along the iconic, colourful Peranakan shophouses on Koon Seng Road. Both settings added so much character and charm to the photos. I received over 30 beautifully curated soft-copy photos, each one polished and full of detail. Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable experience that I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for a meaningful and eye-catching photo shoot. Thank You!
dress collections are really good . they do have additional charges for hair styling and makeup .. the photographer suggest how to pose for nice pics ..
Really fun experience to dress up in a kebaya (you get to choose your own outfit colours)! The ladies at the museum were helpful in matching the outfits, picking accessories and helping to put the whole outfit together. The professional photographer guided me on poses within the museum and outdoors. I was quite awkward but the photographer did a good job guiding me on expressions and the photos turn out very nicel! I did it alone and it was not daunting at all. I received 173 photos in the end, and I love how natural they look. Remember to do your own makeup and hair before the session as this is not covered, but the museum offers hair and makeup services for an additional charge outside of the $100 from the SG Culture Pass.
I like how the photos are beautifully taken! decided to do my own make up and hair :) really love peranakan good and now had a taste of the culture 💖
My siblings and I had a fantastic time at our Peranakan-themed photo shoot. Our photographer, Clarence, was incredibly friendly and professional, guiding us through various poses for the perfect shots. We loved having both indoor and outdoor sessions. Using my culture voucher to visit the Peranakan Museum for the first time was a true eye-opener. The staff were very helpful as we selected our kebayas and accessories. Thank you Clarence, for making us feel like part of the Peranakan family; truly, a picture speaks a thousand words.
experience: It was a fun day where i enjoyed it very much. Got my 1st try on Peranakan Kebaya and listened to the brief introduction about Peranakan heritage. Photography service was excellent as well, where the result was up to my expectation, thanks to Clarence. location:I walked from Paya Lebar MRT station. I highly recommend you, regardless local or tourist to visit here and experience this yourself, be it solo, with family or friends. Note: Photos which i uploaded were selfie as photos from Professional were larger and exceeded the allowable size in Klook.
I did a family portrait. There were 6 of us. Make up and hair was done beautifully for the ladies. Clarence and team were professional and provided excellent service from helping us to pick our costumes, dressing us up, to the photography. Clarence was so patient in giving instructions on where to stand and tilting our heads etc. My family and I had so much fun.
From the moment I arrived, the team was so experienced and caring. Not once did I feel rushed, they guided me every step of the way. And the photographer? He’s so professional, patiently teaching me how to pose like a true Nonya lady. I could truly slow down, enjoy the process, and soak in the beauty around the museum : every corner, every detail, a reflection of my heritage. Overall the team was ⭐️📣👏🏼😍 AWESOMEEEE ! Thank You again
highly recommended! good for couple photos, we just used the culture pass so it’s technically free to have such nice photos
the staff are friendly and helpful (from selecting Kebaya & accessories, to dressing up, to teaching us pose & taking photographs) ... we had a lovely time with fond memories recorded ☺️
