Grace Tan had already been shooting weddings for two years before she set up Stories.my in 2008. "As an artist, it was hard to think about the business aspects of a wedding photography business and what needs to be done. But I realized that to grow, I needed a brand that did not depend on my name only. I had to have a team that would last," said Grace. Luckily, she had an entrepreneur husband, and together they built a stronger company that delved deeper into the wedding industry.
Today, Stories.my has evolved into a team of five people who share the same passion and vision. "As our team grows bigger, we're constantly thinking of ways to maintain our personal approach while also innovating to reflect the current industry," said Grace. A particularly useful innovation that they have embraced is a high-quality backup system that ensures the safety of every client's images and videos. "We archive all of our projects throughout the years, so even if you got married 10 years ago and lost all your photos, you can come back to us and retrieve them. They are archived for life!" explained Grace.
Yet despite all those technological innovations, one thing remains as the core of Stories.my's business: people. "Our task as visual storytellers is to help people remember all the good moments in their lives. It gives us so much joy to know that our work makes a difference for them," said Grace. To achieve that goal, the team is always willing to go the extra mile for every couple. "We've even become wedding problem solvers, helping brides to calm down when their bouquet is left behind or getting them out of wedding gowns with stuck zippers. Honestly, I find the whole experience quite exciting!" reminisced Grace.
