Mark was also impressively fast, delivering our photos much sooner than expected. During the session, he made everything feel relaxed, natural, and fun. His eye for lighting and composition is incredible -- every photo turned out beautifully and felt genuine rather than posed. What really stood out was his warmth and ability to connect with everyone (especially the kids!), which made the session effortless and enjoyable. The final gallery completely exceeded our expectations, and we will treasure these photos for years to come. Highly recommend to anyone looking for stunning, heartfelt family photos!

If you're looking for a wedding photographer in the Bay Area, we cannot recommend Toan Photography…read moreenough! We absolutely loved working with Toan and his team. From the very beginning, they were incredibly knowledgeable, talented, professional, and genuinely easy to work with. Planning a DIY wedding comes with plenty of stress, but Toan was hands down our easiest and favorite vendor throughout the entire process. Neither of us is naturally comfortable in front of a camera, but Toan has an incredible eye and knows exactly how to direct and pose you. He gave us simple, clear guidance that made us feel relaxed and confident, and somehow made even the least photogenic person look like a natural model. The entire experience felt fun instead of awkward. His photography speaks for itself. The photos are absolutely stunning and capture every moment so beautifully. His work is so strong that the images barely need any editing--they're timeless, natural, and simply breathtaking. Every photo feels like a work of art, and we know we'll treasure them for the rest of our lives. We also really appreciated how honest, flexible, and accommodating Toan was throughout the process. He frequently offered packages and special deals, which we were incredibly grateful for. Booking, scheduling, billing, and communication were always seamless, and we never ran into a single issue. On our wedding day, Toan and his team made us feel completely at ease during one of the biggest and most emotional days of our lives. They were calm, organized, and knew exactly how to keep everything running smoothly while capturing every special moment. His craftsmanship is worth every penny. After working with him, we completely understand why he's so highly rated throughout the Bay Area. If you're considering Toan Photography, don't hesitate--you'll be investing in an amazing experience and memories you'll cherish forever. Thank you, Toan and your team, for exceeding every expectation!

We actually had already hired another photographer and paid him a non-refundable $800 deposit, but after seeing Ethan's portfolio, we decided to take the risk and release our original photographer in order to hire Ethan instead. Although it came as no surprise, Ethan was nothing but professional, extremely accommodating, a pleasure to be around (and with a positive attitude), and obviously... his pictures captured perfectly the moments, the "feelings" and style of our wedding day. He was perfectly embedded in our wedding: e.g. we didn't notice Ethan unless he was directing us. Even though we lost our original $800 deposit with our first photographer, going with Ethan turned out to be one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We would do it all again without any hesitation!

We are so grateful we had Eugene as our wedding photographer. He was dedicated, professional,…read moreinnovative, and very attentive to details. We first had an engagement session with him, and we were very happy with the results. He let us be ourselves and got our most natural and beautiful moments together. The slideshow video was fantastic. We couldn't wait to share it with our friends, and we showed it at our engagement party. Then he impressed us deeply again! He arrived early at the wedding day--and despite the crazy wedding schedule, he managed to capture the preparation process for both the bride group and groom group. He had tons of new ideas, which turned out to be very inspirational photos. The most fun and memorable moment was the "marching-down-the-palm-drive" session after our ceremony. He convinced the groom's father and the limo driver to help him stop the traffic from every direction for a couple of minutes, and then had the whole wedding party hold hands and run down the Palm Drive together. After the session, the drivers, who waited in line to help us achieve the crazy shoot, congratulated us when they drove by. We felt so blessed and special! Big thank you, Eugene. You helped us preserve our most precious memory in the most precious way!

He was patient very friendly which helped make it feel light and less chaotic. And, we absolutely love how the photos turned out on the beach.

Ken Ngo is an amazing talented photographer!…read more My family and I had the pleasure working with Ken for our family photo session. And I must say, I definitely made the right decision. Having three kids (one newborn) is indeed a challenge for any photographer out there and patience is a must have. Ken made it absolutely easy for us! Prior to the scheduled session he sent a questionnaire for us to complete to get a better understanding of who we are as a family. And right there, is a great first impression for me because it shows that he cares and puts out the effort and time to learn about his customers instead of just scheduling a session without knowing our family. After completing the questionnaire, he came up with ideas on locations, outfits and props for the photo session. How awesome is that??? I have insecurity issues due to the fact of having three kids and recently giving birth to my newborn. I clearly stressed my concerns with Ken and he absolutely made me feel comfortable. During the session - he made it fun for my kids and surprisingly they had a great time! Those who have kids should already know that kids do not like smiling at the camera for more than 5 minutes! After the session, Ken gave us a timeline as to when we will be receiving the images. The final results that I want to share with you all... The images were delivered on a timely manner as promised and they came out BEAUTIFUL and I really mean it!! There was a story behind every moment that was captured. We usually take family photos at least once a year and I've been to many studios and hired many photographers and my experience is nothing compared to Ken Ngo. It's now been 2 months after the session and I'm still in awe with the photos... I will post some to share! Lastly, being a wedding event coordinator - I've worked with many wedding photographers and trust me, Ken Ngo's professionalism is by far in the high standards and his artwork is beautiful. He has a great eye =) He is now my preferred wedding vendor. So, if you're looking for a photographer for any special occasion, business or personal, I highly recommend Ken Ngo. I look forward to working with Ken Ngo on future events =)

So when that time came around when my husband proposed to me I knew I already wanted to hire him as our photographer! We first did a test run with my engagement party, the pictures came out awesome so we decide to book him for our e-session and wedding day. As the wedding day came closer ken kept in contact with me to ensure how my wedding planning was going... which show me how much he cares about his clients. We met a few days prior to the wedding to go over the entire wedding day along with the schedule and what I wanted to get done. The wedding day: ken and Jesse was on time and we're ready to rock and roll! Keep in my I'm Vietnamese and I have a huge family! So everyone and their mama wanted pictures. Ken worked really well ensuring that we're on schedule. Let me note it was pouring cats and dogs after the ceremony and ken was able to improvise very quickly with taking our wedding party pictures because our original location did not have any covering! Needles to say ken is an awesome photographer and I will be booking him again for all the up coming precious moments that will come along in our lives!

I am completely happy and amazed how fantastic each and every one of the photos turned out. I really like how Brandon blends the photography style of more traditional/posed, with edgy, and photo journalistic. He really really listened to us and put in some great suggestions we didn't even think about. He captured every single moment of our event perfectly and took in our theme and styled them that way to emphasize it. Not only does Brandon's pictures speak volumes of his talent, he is also very professional and understands the world of photography, how to utilize the light, colors, backdrop, and people. He gave me and my wedding party directions on how to situate ourselves so we turned out looking the best we can in each photo. I've been told by colleagues and friends that I looked like an elegant model in each of the shots. I also had a great time with Brandon and his team, I can honestly say that I've made a friend for life! A picture is worth a thousand words so I've posted a few of my favorites that Brandon took of our wedding on the image page so you can see how talented he really is. We are the two with top hats. :D Brandon and his team are amazing and I seriously could not recommend a better person to capture the best time of your life!
