    Wedding photography doesn't get any better than this. My (new) husband and I interviewed so many photographers and got to the point where we felt like we had to settle for someone. BUT THEN we met 102, who came recommended from a friend. And WOW. We were amazed from just the initial meeting! Hy and Jason had an impeccable attention to detail, showed us all of their work from beginning to end (not just highlights of their best photos), and spent time answering all of our questions. They were also willing to travel with us to Southern California, no hesitation. By the end of the meeting, we knew who we were booking. Our package included an engagement photo session. They suggested San Francisco and it was such a great idea! We loved how the photos turned out. Hy and Jason spent ALL day with us and took us to four or five different spots around San Francisco. They were so easy going, fun, artistic, and professional. They seriously go above and beyond for a good photo. Hy and Jason work so well together too - they each have a different (but harmonious!) style and can capture different angles. By the end of the day, and after only seeing snippets of photos they took, we knew we made the right decision for our upcoming wedding. On our first wedding day in San Jose, Hy and Jason showed up with a full team of photographers and videographers and tons of equipment. They stayed with us from morning to late night. Our entire wedding party (8 bridesmaids, 8 groomsmen, 2 flower girls) loved working with the team!! They were so much fun! They also gave direction when we needed it, showed us how to pose, and never missed a good photo op. The team jived well with our other vendors, including our wedding coordinator and makeup artist. It really felt like a bunch of friends hanging out! I didn't realize how important this was until I saw them all interact. It never felt like the vendors were getting in each other's way. And of course they blended well into the background when the focus was on the bride and groom. They were also there for our dress rehearsal and tea ceremony the day before. So basically they were there for our ENTIRE wedding weekend. The next weekend, we all traveled to Southern California for another tea ceremony and wedding reception. Planning a reception in Westminster when you live in San Jose is SO tough. But I told my husband, if all else fails, at least we'll have amazing photos! And we do!! On the day of, I was stressed out with last minute changes and mini disasters. But 102 showed up that morning and it was an instant sense of reassurance. No joke. They make you feel so at ease! We had a couple of hours in between the tea ceremony and reception, so Hy and Jason suggested we go to Victoria Beach in Laguna Beach. They were excited because the day was overcast, perfect for beach photos. I was hesitant because it was cold, windy, and the wedding party was all dressed up. But I knew one thing - I trusted 102. And that's so important!! If you don't trust your photographers, you've got a problem. And of course, the photos turned out BEAUTIFUL. All of our wedding photos were so gorgeous, it seemed straight out of a glam fairytale wedding. There's so much more to say about this wonderful team. But anyway, stop reading this essay and GO BOOK 102. Experience it for yourself! It will be the best decision you'll make for your wedding.

    I love these guys! They are very punctual, professional, affordable, patient (especially dealing with Groomzilla and Bridezilla on the day of wedding), artistic, and responsive. They go above and beyond to capture the special moments. During our engagement shoot, they wanted to stay longer while I wanted to go home. That's how dedicated they are! You also benefit from having a great Team of 2 main shooters (Jason and Hy) along with second shooters that are just as good. This means they are willing to work around your schedule and travel to your destination of choice. Book them now or else your slot will be booked.

    My husband and I were looking for a photographer for our civil marriage. We did not know who to ask or where to start since it was kind of rushed. I was referred to 102 Photography by my makeup artist. I'm so glad that she did!! Hy was so patient with my husband and I. The day of the ceremony, we were running late because of traffic and other events that were going on. Go figure. Hy waited patiently for my husband and I to arrive. We went to the Rose Garden first. Took a few shots there but left because a graduation was taking place. We ended up taking a majority of our photos at the entrance of the friendship garden near happy hollow. My husband and I were clueless on how to pose. Hy showed us and explained to us how to pose and to make the pictures look better. Hy also made it fun to pose for the pictures. I brought some props to use and oh my goodness, best decision ever! He snapped well over 1000 shots. The final photos were immaculate!! I am so in love with the photos. I cannot put into words the magic that Hy has in creating masterpieces. If you're looking for a fun and experienced photographer, I highly highly recommend 102 Photography. You will not be disappointed. I promise! I cannot wait to have them capture my reception next year.

    Disappointing Maternity & Newborn Photoshoot Experience…read more We had a very disappointing experience across both our maternity and newborn photoshoots. For the maternity session, there was no proper pre-discussion about locations or outfits. We were simply asked to choose from previously taken images, which felt impersonal. During the shoot, the session felt rushed, and the photographer appeared disengaged, as if they wanted to finish early. From a 2-hour session, we could barely select around 10 usable images, which reflects the overall quality. We also noticed technical issues with the camera, including frequent error messages during burst shots. For the newborn session, we had informed them in advance that we would be about 30 minutes late due to our baby's doctor appointment. Despite this, one of the planned props was removed, which felt inflexible given the circumstances. There was also a significant delay of about four weeks beyond the expected timeline in delivering the edited images, without clear communication or accountability. After delivery, communication continued to be frustrating. We received emails indicating additional charges if image selections were not made within 30 days, which felt pressured--especially considering the delay in delivery was on their side. At the same time, when we requested a re-edit for one of the selected images, we had to follow up multiple times and did not receive timely responses. Additionally, some comments made during the newborn shoot were uncomfortable and inappropriate. Remarks about the baby's skin tone and comments regarding the mother's feeding choices were hurtful and unexpected, especially for a one-month-old baby. We expected a much more respectful and sensitive environment. There was also no prior discussion about props for the newborn shoot -- only a couple of setups were pre-arranged, and we felt limited to those options. Similar to the maternity shoot, the overall photography quality did not meet expectations. From a 1.5-hour session, we could barely select around 15 images, and the editing felt very basic, with some images appearing minimally edited. Given our experience, the overall service felt unprofessional, inflexible, and lacking in quality. These are once-in-a-lifetime moments, and we expected a much more thoughtful, skilled, and supportive experience. Also, please don't go based on Instagram followers alone -- our experience did not reflect the expectations set by their online presence. If you are looking for a photographer who communicates well, provides guidance, and creates a comfortable and enjoyable session -- especially with a newborn -- this may not be the right fit.

    I wanted to love photouncle so bad but unfortunately I have been left extremely disappointed with…read moremy experience. I got my maternity shoot taken on August 24th with my husband and son. The photo taking went well and they sent me a text telling me the vision/ editing we agreed on, very clearly. Fast forward 8 weeks I did not receive my pictures. Another week later (9 weeks after photo selection), I messaged them and received no response.. a few days later I messaged again. After an email as well I TRULY thought I had been scammed. Finally I call and was told they'd text me that day to give me an update, guess what? NO update. I texted them again the next day as a reminder and FINALLY I was told it would take another few days. At this point my newborn was a week or two old and there was no chance I'd even considering a new born photoshoot with them. I find it super unprofessional when there is a lack of communication. In my attempts to reach out I clearly said to just let me know if more time is needed, that could've required a simple 5 word sentence, "we need more time, sorry!". Especially if it's past the time frame you say photos will be done. Finally I received my pictures, which are NOT edited the way we agreed on.. Sure, they corrected the background to a few and added a few edited photos but that seems like a bare minimum. The edited photos just looked blurred with a background added, no further editing was done. (For example, my lighter skin belly didn't match my face, my undergarments were clearly visible-other maternity photographers will add a shadow). I later realized another picture was not edited the way we agreed on and of course, I've been ghosted yet again after 1 month- no response... I'm a reasonable person but ultimately the price, time to receive the photos, lack of communication, poorly edited photos have resulted in me feeling pushed to share this experience. I don't recommend them.

He was responsive, easy/straightforward to work with, made us feel comfortable during the shoot and was very personable. I really appreciate his easy going personality and he made us feel comfortable during photos and gave us really good poses/pointers. I loved that he would show us little snippets during the shoot to show us how the photos were turning out as well. He was so kind, friendly, professional and all the great things you want in a photographer capturing your special moments. I believe he finalized edits and sends within 3-4 weeks and I can't wait to see. Bonus was that he sent over more than 10 sneak-peaks within 24 hours!!! This was so awesome and we were able to use right away to announce our marriage. All in all, so impressed with Justin.

My husband greatly appreciated Justin's recommendations for photo ideas. For our wedding, Justin and his second photographer were nothing short of amazing. Justin was able to use the venues spaces very creatively and effectively--I was very impressed with Justin's ability to stage us and our family and wedding party without having seen the venues before. The photos made me appreciate the venues in ways I had not thought of. Justin was able to turn around two photographers' and 10 hours worth of photos in 2 weeks. We were very impressed! Justin has a way of making people feel comfortable. That was true of my husband and me, as well as our wedding parties and families. The end result was amazing photos that we love, and our friends and family have told us look great. We are so happy we got to work with Justin and his team!

To be honest, I didn't know what I should be looking for in a photographer, except for obviously solid photos from their past clients. Well, Vince and Denise got that down. Communication consistency? Check. They were super easy to get ahold of whenever we needed it. What sets these two apart from others is their incredible level of customer service. It felt like they were simply extensions of our family during the wedding- from having fun with us as we got ready, making sure we had the chance to eat our own food during out appetizer/cocktail hour (seriously, Vince brought me over TONS of each appetizer we served WHILE Denise photographed us!), to handling our *sometimes* overbearing guests/wedding team. They promised us a good time, and they rocked it. I had THE BEST time at my own wedding, and I know it was due in large part to their assistance and services. It's really quite difficult to have be miserable around these two. They are simply a fun, goofy, giggly, and happy couple to be around, and I am still so happy we chose them to be a part of our big day. PS- Their photo booth is INCREDIBLE! My guests are still raving about it today!

    It's been 9 years since I last saw Tam and I was absolutely overjoyed to have him be the primary…read morephotographer for my wedding in mid-January. He has only grown in his craft and truly has a gift for making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. A couple of weeks before the wedding, we walked through a timeline of what we needed and Tam recommended that we tailor our package down from a 10 hour package to an 8 hour one since we wouldn't have getting ready photos, didn't have a bridal party, and opted to just dance the night away once 7 PM hit. I really appreciate that he doesn't shy away from making recommendations based on his experience and what your unique day will look like. The day of, Tam and the second photographer, Mike, were at the AirBnB early and helped my then fiance and I stage a first look photo. We also had an opportunity to take individual photos, photos with his family and also his college friends. Given how rainy the weather was that weekend, I was a little worried, but Tam and Mike were not deterred. They provided multiple options with attention and care paid to making sure my long dress stayed as clean as possible. I was also thankful that they directed us through poses because we definitely had no idea what we were doing, lol. After these initial photos, they met us at the church we were getting married at and took photos of the venue and of my side of the family. During our initial call, I asked Tam about his advice for how to not get our pastor in the first kiss frame. Tam remembered this conversation and made sure to note that to the pastor so that he would be able to get a clean photo. Group photos followed after the ceremony and then they headed to the venue to get cocktail hour shots. Since we didn't have a wedding party, a lot of things were candid. At one point I thought about greeting the tables during dinner but we ended up opting out. I later found out from our guests that Tam and Mike were really proactive and made sure to ask for group shots whenever they could. Before dancing started, Tam and Mike discussed pulling us aside at around 8 PM to head outside into the rain to get some nice photos with clear umbrellas and a strong flash. However, around 8 PM, there was no getting my now husband off the dance floor and we scrapped it. I really appreciate Tam and Mike's flexibility with us and ability to offer suggestions, but also respect how we were feeling at any given point. Before they left, Tam gave me an estimated date of when we'd get photos back which I really appreciated. From start to finish they were a real pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend Tam for weddings, family photos, glam shots, etc.

To give you some background, Kent and I are the kids who had awkward school photos and being the center of attention is not comfortable for us at all! We were apprehensive for our first photo shoot with him- not because of his skill at all (we saw his portfolio and really liked his work before booking). Well, all the worry was for nothing; Tam is super professional and easy to work with. He even coordinated the best time for when the natural light was just right. Super bonus points for being able to capture some great shots of our fur babies- it can be hard to do! We had lots of laughs throughout the whole thing and ended up with loads of beautiful pictures. On top of that, he had the pictures ready that same day. We were looking forward to having him photograph our wedding after this first experience. Once the pandemic hit, Tam was flexible and understanding when we had to change our plans. He worked with us to ensure the best outcomes for everyone. We have heard horror stories about vendors regarding unexpected changes due to Covid-19, and felt SO fortunate to be working with Tam throughout this experience. When our long-awaited wedding day finally came, Tam was a superstar. He was efficient in coordinating the appropriate people and poses. Everything was easy and comfortable, just like our first session. No complaints. Pictures ready the next day! We have recommended him to our dearest friends and family for their weddings, and he will be photographing at least two other weddings we will be a part of. One being my baby brother and future sister-in-law's, in just a few weeks :). If you had any doubts before, I would say, just do it! You will not regret choosing Tam to photograph your special occasion.

You have to work with Toanven Photography because you will not regret it at all and get everything you want and more!! Toan and team are the absolute very best - worked directly with Toan, Martin, Trieu, and Michael and all very professional and super easy to get along with! We used Toanven photography for our engagement photoshoot / pre wedding , church wedding ceremony at St.Jarlath Catholic Church and civil wedding at Nella terra cellars. Also used their videography services which was also really great. When looking for a photographer , we wanted to make sure that our photographer is easy going, can help guide us and has experience with our venue. I discovered Toanven photography because my best friend used their services for her wedding and after finding out Toan had lots of experience at Nella Terra we knew we had to meet him. On our first zoom call Toan was beyond welcoming and excited which made us excited. He made us laugh, made us comfortable and answered all of our questions and broke down the whole process. Before the wedding Toan helped us better plan our timeline for photos and took his time to understand what were the "must have photos". He gave us alternatives on how we can still get pictures with others and saving time. His advice on a family shot list was super helpful as well. On wedding day Toan was just the person I needed around me with all the craziness of wedding day. His personality bring calmness and he is quick to think if a photo location doesn't work well for the lighting - he found better positioning and areas for the photos the look flawless. Beyond helpful when it came to posing, how to stand , where to look and capture all the right angles. Lastly, Depending on the package you go for, you will get a set number of edits photos and our photos were so amazing it was hard to reach the number of edits we can use. That says a lot about how the quality of the photos are and how they already shine! So reach out to Toanven photography, I promise you will love every moment!
