Where do I even begin?! If you're searching for a wedding photographer, you can stop right here…read more Eric Kieu is not just a master of his craft; he's the kind of person you want by your side on the most important day of your life. We are unbelievably happy we chose him. We were first introduced to Eric's work through a glowing recommendation from our friends, Denny and Thao. One look at his portfolio and we were sold. His photos aren't just pictures; they're epic, dynamic, and full of life. We knew instantly that his style was exactly what we were looking for. When we saw his pricing, it felt too good to be true--he was incredibly affordable. On paper, he was perfect. But what truly sets Eric apart is who he is as a person. From our first call to all our interactions on the wedding day, it was clear that Eric isn't just a photographer; he's a true artist who is deeply passionate about his work, especially his incredible use of lighting. On top of that, he's just a genuinely super cool guy. The same goes for his assistant, Thinh! Within minutes, we felt like we were hanging out with old friends, which made the entire experience so much more relaxed and fun. On the day of the wedding, Eric was a dream to work with. He taught us how to pose (which was a lifesaver!), made us feel completely comfortable, and had us laughing the entire time. He even went above and beyond by taking us to the beach mid-day to capture some absolutely breathtaking, epic shots that we will cherish forever. The final photos? Pure perfection. They captured the day exactly as we remember it: full of joy, love, and beautiful moments. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. I'm so grateful that we not only have a photographer we can recommend 100% to everyone we know, but also a new friend we can call on for any future photo ops. If you want stunning photos and an amazing experience, Eric Kieu is your guy. Thank you for everything, Eric!

When it was game day he delivered timeless photos of our big day that were both beautiful and fun. He was flexible to our style, utilized his years of experience to provide helpful insights for both posing and back drops, and maintained professionalism with us and our guests the entire time. There is not a better photographer in the San Diego area if you ask me!

They were very communicative, professional, and offered a lot for the price during the initial…read morebooking process. They answered all of our questions and stayed in touch leading up to the wedding, especially when discussing the timeline. We worked with them to plan how to fit everything into our 9-hour day, even opting to trade our engagement shoot for an additional hour of photo/video coverage. Months before the wedding, we offered to provide transportation for them to help keep everything on schedule. They declined at the time, saying it would be better for the timeline if they drove themselves. However, the night before the wedding--during our rehearsal dinner--they called and requested that we pick them up and provide transportation after all. This last-minute change created unnecessary stress and frustration during an already busy time. On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly and we had no issues during the actual shooting. Unfortunately, the problems came afterward. It has now been 7 months since our wedding, and they have still not fulfilled their contractual obligations. Specifically, we never received the keepsake box that was included in our contract. Initially, they said it would be sent, but they have since completely stopped responding to us. At this point, they have essentially ghosted us and appear to have shut down their wedding photography business altogether. It is extremely frustrating for a business to take payment, sign a contract, and then fail to deliver on agreed-upon items. As a result, we have been left with no choice but to pursue a civil claim for the full contract amount, as well as legal fees where applicable. I have also noticed that others have reported similar issues in recent reviews. If you have had a similar experience with this company--where services or contracted items were not delivered--please reach out. We are exploring the possibility of pursuing this further, potentially as a group.

First let me start by saying, in a previous review, I had asked Adrian & Christie to "make things…read moreright", which is what they did. Adrian & Christie has done right by us, and that's all I can say. I only speak for myself and my husband and our experiences with them. Adrian and Christie have provided a refund for the footage we were suppose to receive but didn't. We a grateful they did so. They also sent us a link to drop box containing the raw footage of my husband and I coming down the aisle. We also grateful for that. I wanted to edit my review because after speaking with them privately, they did what they could do make things right, and during this difficult time it is honestly appreciated. While I can't provide a full 5 star review because of other minor things, I can at least leave 4 stars because as I said, I asked them to make things right, and they did so, and my whole family and I appreciate this effort to right the wrongs. I also want to note that they are people with real personalities. During the wedding, our family and ourselves enjoyed talking and working with the team. While Adrian wasn't there to work our wedding, Christie and the rest of her team were and they were fun people. Again I appreciate the fact that they reached out to us and "made things right." We will be forever grateful to now have raw footage of some of the more memorable moments of our wedding day.

We got married in Maui and flew Richwell out as our photographer. Richwell had already shot my wife…read moreseveral times as a photographer for RX Smartgear. We knew Richwell is the man and his skills behind the lens are amazing. We had no idea he was going to save our entire wedding. We flew from Madrid, Spain to San Francisco and were home for less than 8 hours before taking off again for our wedding. We landed a few days prior to the scheduled ceremony. WE WERE WRECKED. Our body clocks were all out of whack. We had planned an impromptu wedding on our favorite beach with a small group of about 30 family and friends in attendance. With all destination weddings, the stuff leading up to the big day can be a little overwhelming. Family arriving. People pulling you in all directions. Checking on catering, music, etc. Two days on the island of relaxation and my wife was STRESSED OUT! She literally told Richwell she wanted to skip the ceremony and do just the dinner (we had gotten married at the courthouse several months prior). She was done with it. In comes Richwell to the rescue. Richwell got the phone numbers of everyone attending. He coordinated the time for them to be there. He arranged where everyone was to stand and basically set us up on the beach in the perfect location for his photographs. Our wedding turned out AMAZING. To this day we have people telling us it was the best wedding they ever attended. And let's not forget the photographs!!! SO GOOD! Richwell did a cool drone video of the beach. He shot the entire wedding and took group shots. We changed into swimwear and he did a beach shoot with us. He also took pictures at the dinner. Stunning work! Thank you Richwell!!! You made our wedding day amazing and unforgettable.

We've been to a ton of weddings, and we've seen some dynamite wedding albums in our lifetime, but Richwell's work is "Hall Of Fame" material. This guy and his crew should be doing this stuff for Hollywood and the 1 percenters of the world. He is All-Star material! We just attended a wedding for close friends of ours this past weekend (7/24/21), and the pre-production photos I saw and his video montage he created was unbelievable! Richwell's incredible shots seemed magically captured, his enthusiasm was non-stop, and his humbleness was immediately evident upon meeting him. Lastly, when you speak to him, you discover he's not just an awesome photographer, but an even greater guy! Not only that, his team is just as great as he was. We can't speak to his fees, but we can definitely vouch for his work, which is a work of art in and of itself! Do you want the best? If so, book an appointment to see what Richwell can do for your upcoming special event. All we can say is your event will not be captured any better than the work this guy can do for you. You can tell when someone's good, but you can also tell when someone's over-the-top outstanding, and extremely passionate about the work they do. Richwell received a standing ovation after all the guests saw his video montage during the wedding reception!

He allowed us to enjoy our special day and he was where he needed to be to properly capture everything we did during our special day. It was refreshing to have such a natural experience. We are so happy with our pictures and look forward to showing them to our kids and grandkids in the future. Thanks to Taylor we have timeless photos that we will always be able to look back on.

By the end of the night we didn't want him to leave-- he was part of the family. And the photos were magical-- he really captured the essence of our guests and of us. We will treasure these photos forever. Everything we asked for he delivered on, no problem. Best of all, he was so calming. It helps to have someone mellow (but very effective) when you're trying to herd all of your family through photos. I highly recommend Taylor and hope to work with him again in the future!

I was impressed by the work he showcased at a Bridal Bazaar, was further pleased by his website, and was very happy with our engagement photos! His energy is calm and in control. He listens and you can tell he really cares about the clients' needs and preferences. He is flexible and knows what he's doing from beginning to end. It was an EASY decision to hire him to shoot our wedding, no doubt about it. And WOW...we are sure happy we did! One thing I was drawn to is his eye for authenticity. He captures the real essence of the moment. No blown out exposures or dramatized color editing or bumped up contrast. Paul knows how to use the light he has to work with beautifully. He does his homework on the location of the venues and timing of the events so he can get the best shots possible. Yes, he plans ahead but seizes the opportunity to get those unexpected shots of unforgettable moments. Need I say more? I highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding! Will post an update after we get a family portrait done this year. It will undoubtedly be another success. THANK YOU SO MUCH, PAUL!

We paid him a $1000 deposit (out of $6500) for the wedding and also separately $700 for the engagement party. Unfortunately, to our surprise the engagement photos were of low quality. Some of the issues included our heads being cropped off in the pictures, not being centered in the photos, and other issues. We were disappointed in this poor quality work especially for the premium we were paying. We decided to use someone else for our wedding. We brought this to Samer's attention and he was very combative and defensive and unwilling to give even a portion of the deposit or engagement money back. This is very disappointing and unprofessional. I would not recommend his services to anyone.
