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.

I'm so happy I found Justin!!! We hired him to capture our intimate elopement ceremony and we were…read moreover the moon with him. 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. He's a gem and I'm looking forward to continue using him for our future shoots!!

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!

Vince and Denise are AMAZING. If you're looking for a photographer, let me tell you why I would…read morechoose Vince and Denise again, again, and AGAIN: We hired these two for our wedding this past summer. 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!

They are the most professional, kindest,friendliest, patient, and very understanding people to work with. Vincent and Denise work is impeccable and the prices for their incedible work is GREAT. When you are in front of the camara they make you feel comfortable and they are really easy to talk to.

Lanny is incredibly professional and great at coaxing out that relaxed face from you, or making you laugh for that natural smile. She's done my family photos, branding photos for my business, and creative headshots when I have a weird idea. My favorite (maybe!!??) was doing a shoot for a significant birthday. Lan has a perfect eye and creative spirit-- two important things you need in a photographer. I prioritize these things as a business woman and an individual as well. I will forever request her services for *any* occasion she will oblige. The people complaining about an unanswered email probably were rude. We Stan a Queen who values her time and boundaries.

ATTENTION -- ALL BRIDES AND GROOMS. STOP HERE AND READ THIS…read more. Looking for a talented team of photographers? Well look no more b/c 102 is the team for you! Why? They are down to earth, easy to work with, punctual, creative, friendly, artistic, actual have a sense of humor... LOL Serious note - they really put their heart and soul into capturing every moment of your special day. They truly go above and beyond the scope of their work to make sure you are not 100% but 102% satisfied with their work. If you're not, then Jason will offer to cook a nice meal of crawfish for you and your fiance! JK! 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...

102 photography did such an amazing job at my friend's wedding I can't thank them enough !…read moreThey were able to catch so much feelings and emotions in all of their pictures they take. 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 !

Looking for a photographer to capture your big moments, who makes you feel comfortable and beyond…read moreeasy to work with ? 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!
