Website just went live and I would appreciate any tips or suggestions to make it better(seo or design-wise). We've worked hard to make this site as fast as possible for this type of site.
It's loading fast on my end,but if it's slow for you, please let me know.

    Fantastic photography. I can see why you are rated so highly as a photographer.

    From a website point of view, I would increase the time on your sliders as they flip by too quickly and you don't get a chance to fully digest them.

    I think there's too much words in the part --> [I began capturing images.... around the World]

    As for your packages, you could break the features provided in each up and illustrate them in pictorial form wherever possible so visitors can grasp whatever you're saying in a second.

    Pictures are nice, but somehow the color theme, makes me feel uncomfortable.. too dark and gloomy as opposed to your photos.

    Thank you all for taking the time.
    I am actually trying to find a way to show beautifully gallery links via click on the images( so far plugins are too heavy and slow down the site considerable so for now only links at the top will take you to the galleries) and perhaps make a few adjustments to all the text. It's a bit too simple,but work will continue.
    I'll take a look at all the suggestions given!

      where are you located Thuybk? what is your connection speed? And when you say slowly, how slow and what exactly is loading slow? First page loads around 2.5 seconds on the first view for me and 1.3second on the 2nd view(caching). Just as fast on mobile as well.
      If you have slow connection (eg. 1mb) you may see the site being slower as there are a lot of images. Site is catered towards North America. We tend to have download speed around 5mb-50mb/s

    I think the site looks good, with portfolio types of sites, the minimalist of type you have on your site the more your photography will stand out. I would suggest doing a grid type of gallery, those work really well for photography portfolios. Also, maybe add a script font or different font for the headlines / titles.

    Your work is great and very high quality, I would put some more photos, full width, parallax style on the home page, use it like a section break, it would naturally bring more color to the site and show off your work at the same time.

      Thank you for taking your time!
      I had it done with parallax, and it looked great, but for some reason it was adding 2 seconds to the load time I had to take it down. since then I implemented some things to speed up the website including using cloudflare so I'll try again to see if it's better with the load times.
