We were looking for a great photographer who wouldn't break our wedding budget. Since we were…read moreliving apart at the time, my wife found them online and decided to give vid studio a shot. After the first meeting, we were hooked! Kenny and Ammy were very willing to meet with us for as long and often as needed to make us feel comfortable with what we wanted and what we were getting. Before our each shoot, they were willing to take the time to make sure we would be as well prepared and well dressed as possible. They are also very enthusiastic about their work, and their cheerfulness is infectious. The staff at VID studio are all very professional. They have all different kinds of cameras, stands, and photo/video accessory for every kind of shot. A city-wide video shoot with them will make you feel like you're filming a professional commercial or movie. Kenny, Ammy, and the rest of the crew are all perfectionists. They will do everything in their power to make every picture and every scene perfect, whether it be taking extra shots just in case the next one comes out even better, working extremely long days, or even extra days to get everything right. My wife is incredibly picky about photos and video, and they almost always managed to please her. If she wasn't 100% satisfied, they would do whatever it took to get her there. Of course that means that we also spent a LOT of time in front of the camera, but it was well worth it. Ammy does a wonderful job with makeup and hair. My wife can be extremely picky about this, but she always comes back from the mirror glowing after being prepped by Ammy. Kenny is a wonderful photographer who cares less about poses and more about what his clients are doing, what's happening around them, and how they interact with their surroundings. He's really great at using the settings of his shots to their full potential. Like Kenny, video director Shun is very flexible. While they always come up with a general script for shots, he's always looking to see how he can use what he has to make it the best it can be. The same can be said for the rest of the crew as well. We and everybody we know have been extremely happy and impressed with their results for our engagement photos/video and we can't wait to see how our wedding photos and video turned out!

It was an instant hook for my wife and I when we were searching for photography studio for our…read morepre-wed and wedding day shooting in 2015 - The amazing and moving shots from Ken on social media gave us a very clear and dreamy vision of our wedding that we were anxiously preparing. We were really lucky to be able to book the studio and everything since the contract was signed was butter smooth, professional, 'dreamy' as my wife would call it - It was our BEST call during the wedding process and how fortunate we were to have them capture the most precious moments in our lives in a such pleasant, delicate way. During the preparation of our pre-wedding shooting, we were offered plenty options to shoot across the bay area. There was no rush in decision making and Ammy was so careful to discuss with us the theme of our pre-wed to match our ceremony as well as the stories of us getting together. We were discussing these details on daily basis ahead of the shooting and when we decided the two day itinerary, she went further to help us pick the outfit - I still remember the day when were ready for shooting, my hair was not really properly done and her team helped me redo my hair which is obviously not their duty. Ken drove us that day to highway 1 on day one and it was a whole day full of professional shooting and recording of great time - I almost felt like we are on a road trip full of romance and Ken was there to capture who we really are, with sincere emotions in the pictures so story-telling and loving. And there was also the short movie shooting that they centered around our stories and the film was so precisely executed with all the emotions and presentations we intended. Everyone on the wedding day was touched by the film and I couldn't thank them enough. After the pre-wed shooting, we were very close to the studio team and grew even more confident of the wedding day. My wife was getting more nervous of all the wedding planing and if there was one thing reassuring to her, it was the studio would make the wedding look absolutely fabulous - And she was RIGHT. On the wedding day, there were a crew of more than five people from the studio, it was more than two hour drive from their office to the venue and they were there by 9am. The sun came out and our big day shooting went on like a dream, we went to the beach to capture so many great pictures as the time allows. The film team was also there and even brought a drone to get some cinematic touch to the professionalism we enjoyed from the start. Right before the ceremony started, I didn't even notice but they were at all angles capturing everything. I was amazed how many awesome shots we got from the ceremony and every picture was so natural and full of the late August sunshine. In the catering session, our guests admired greatly on the pre-wed photos we presented in the hall and of course the pre-wed film that were magical. After our wedding, the studio worked with us on picking the photos from the wedding for re-touching - The techniques of the crew were top notch and fast in response to our needs. We received all the digital copy of the pictures on time and we shared them with all of our family and friends with waves of complements and blessings flowing in. Till this day after a year and half, we still get friends asking where we get our shoots done - This is why I had to write this review here and let them know where to look for them. Look no further if you look for studios in the bay area for photoshoots of any significant occasions. Vidd studio is simply the BEST!

HAHAHA Ok, jokes aside -- Back in Oct 2013, my husband (but fiance back then) and I took 2 engagement photo shoots with Hy and Jason. Hy may look intimating in the beginning like he's going to kick your butt, if you don't strike a goood pose -- but he's just a sweet ol teddy bear... LOL.. As for Jason - he's just as sweet but keep your eyes on him, b/c he loves to pose with the guy (or at least my hubby)..LOL...JK. Ok, serious note -- no more jokes -- They are both very friendly and easy to work with.... we did a change our location 1 hour before we got to our destination which was in Napa and they were very nice about it.... My husband and I already took professional wedding photos in Taiwan (known for their wedding/engagement photos in the world) and we were pretty picky and skeptical on a lot of the photographers work here in the U.S....But boy, was I amaze at how talented Jason and Hy after seeing our engagement photos... So they did not disappoint. The wedding day -- ... We had our Viet/Chinese traditional wedding where we had to wake up bright and early (5AM). 102 team (We had Hy, Jason and Huu) arrived on time or even earlier and started taking pictures as I was getting ready... The day was long - approx 16 hours and they were there throughout it all... I didn't have to worry about them, they followed us around like we were Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt making us feel like celebrities...The end result -- the photos came out beautiful and my parents were very please.... NOTES TO THE BRIDES - You want a photographer who you can trust and not worry at all. The best investment you can make is to book this talented team. They were truly one of the vendors I had no worries and exceeded all my expectations. They are professional, well prepared with lots of experience...As a wedding coordinator, myself - I've worked with many photographers and they are definitely the one I will be referring all my clients... Thank you 102 for capturing our special day. You guys are truly a talented group of guys! I cannot wait to have them capture my maternity photos in the near future...

It was a joyous, loving, exciting, and memorable day. Jason and his team were able to catch all those moments and were so dedicated in making sure they had the perfect shot everytime. The day after the wedding, Jason even shared some photos with us. His customer service was as good as his photos. What more can you ask for ! All I know is when it is my time to walk down the aisle, I know who I want for my wedding photographer. P.S. For those that don't understand the meaning of the number 102, it means "like no other" in Vietnamese, and they are definitely like no other, more like a league of their own !

The ceremony was outdoors and the reception was indoors. Andy arrived early and was ready to go! He took pictures before, during, and at the end of the night! Pictures came out SO good! All of our guests cannot stop commenting on how awesome they were! Andy was almost "invisible" the whole time. You had no idea he was lurking and ensuring our fun day was all caught on camera. He also took those important family pictures of course. He was VERY reasonably priced, always had a smile on his face, and was a pleasure to work with. I hope this review brings him more business, because he deserves it! My wife and I don't like having our pictures out on the internet, but feel free to message me and I am happy to send a couple so you can see his work! You WONT be disappointed!

We found Leo online and he ended up being one of our favorite vendors from the wedding. He was…read moresuper responsive from the start, jumped on a call with us right away, and helped us set expectations and even shape our timeline early on. On the wedding day, he brought such good energy and made everyone feel comfortable being filmed. He was funny, helped guide poses when we needed it (especially during getting ready with my mom and sister), but also captured a lot of natural moments. It also felt like he and our photographer worked seamlessly together, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. One thing that meant a lot to us was that he spoke Vietnamese with my parents. My mom immediately felt more relaxed, and you could really see how much more comfortable everyone was on camera. Our video turned out amazing. He captured so many small family moments and the storytelling was beautiful. I already know this is something we'll love looking back on for years. Highly recommend Leo if you want someone friendly, grounding, and great at guiding you while still keeping things natural.

LeoThai responded very quickly to my message on Yelp and we set up a phone consultation although it ended up having to be rescheduled.

We noticed that there was footage of the same group several times in the video and LeoThai edited the extra footage out at our request. I highly recommend going with LeoThai for wedding videography!

You're not just booking an incredible photographer -- you're getting a whole support system. For our San Francisco City Hall wedding, Laura was part photographer, part wedding guide, and part day-of coordinator. Before we had even booked our ceremony, she walked us through everything from getting our marriage license to choosing the best ceremony date and time, sharing all the insider tips that only come from photographing countless City Hall weddings. She made the entire process feel effortless, and by the time our wedding day arrived, we felt completely prepared. On the day itself, Laura was absolutely wonderful. She was calm, organized, upbeat, and made us all feel comfortable in front of the camera. She knew exactly how to position everyone, kept things moving naturally, and made the whole experience fun instead of awkward. She happily fit in extra family portraits and photos with our dog, letting us extend our session by an extra hour on the spot. After the wedding, they sent us our gallery earlier than expected, and we were completely blown away. The photos are stunning, and Will's editing is absolutely beautiful. We keep looking at these photos and we can't believe they're ours! We truly couldn't be happier. If you're considering Laura and Will, stop thinking about it and book them. We would choose them again in a heartbeat.

We chose her after seeing her portfolio-her previous work at our venue perfectly matched the style and composition we envisioned for our own wedding. During our engagement shoot, Zha Zha immediately put us at ease. Neither of us is used to being in front of the camera, but she made the experience fun and relaxed, helping us feel natural and not take ourselves too seriously. The engagement photos turned out beautifully-we loved them so much that we used them in our wedding guest book and at our rehearsal dinner. Throughout the entire process, Zha Zha was warm, friendly, and a fantastic communicator. On our wedding day, she was always present and supportive, even stepping in to help with little things like tying my bow tie! Her eye for lighting and composition is truly impressive, and her attention to detail in both framing and editing made every photo look incredible. She also worked seamlessly with our videographer, ensuring everything went smoothly. One unique and invaluable aspect was that Zha Zha speaks Chinese, which made communicating with our families so much easier and helped everyone feel comfortable and included. This was especially important during our Chinese tea ceremony, where she was able to capture all the important moments and ensure nothing was missed. Her eye for lighting and composition is truly impressive, and her attention to detail in both framing and editing made every photo look incredible. We were surprised to receive a preview gallery of 75 photos just a couple of days after the wedding. It was wonderful to be able to share these beautiful moments with our family and friends so quickly. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely caring photographer, look no further than Zha Zha!

Whether it was fetching a last-minute detail or gently steering our schedule back on track, she handled everything without missing a beat. Her second shooter was just as warm, competent and professional - they both made us feel completely at ease. In our pre-wedding meeting, she covered every little detail, from where to stand for ceremony shots to how to angle our hands during vows, so when the day arrived we knew exactly what to do. Everyone at the wedding commented on how wonderful she was. With her warm personality and sharp attention to detail, Zha Zha made our day run smoothly and feel truly enjoyable. We can't recommend her highly enough!
