Any questions I had she was quick to respond. She handled our precious baby so well, swaddled her and put her to sleep faster than I can!

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!

Update: Rebecca reached out to me and asked me to delete my review. We had a few messages back…read moreand forth. I stand by my original 2 star rating. I did agree to make some edits. She made no effort to make things right or apologize for us having a bad experience. Edited review: In 2019, I took my first born when he was 2 weeks old to Rebecca to get some shots for a birth announcement. We went in for a shoot, she said it would be a few hundred $ for the shoot. We didn't ask for it, but she really wanted to do a "classic" naked baby shoot with him asleep. We should have just said no thank you. In hindsight, this is obvious, but we ended up getting pee'd and poo'd on. We had to leave, as we didn't have any more clean clothes. She offered to have us back a week later, which was nice. We came back, and the baby was more cooperative. 3 weeks later, she has us come in and review the photos, they looked great! She wanted to sell us prints. We were only interested in the digitals, we should have asked about this before the shoot. We only found out that the digitals would be more than a thousand $ additional after the shoot. It left us feeling pretty sour because our baby was now 6 weeks old, and we had no choice but to pay her. The photos came out nice, and everyone loved the birth announcement, but I still think about the bad experience we had when I look at them. New: I've now hired professional photographers for all 3 of my babies, and I have context to be confident that there are better options elsewhere that include digital in their base price, and don't have a dated business model that assumes you are buying prints.

I wanted the most important day of our lives to be remembered through amazing pictures. I just happened to stumble across Breanne and Fernando's Instagram page, and I am SO, SO happy that I did. It brought me comfort in knowing they are a husband and wife team, only because I felt like I had no idea what I was doing. They told me multiple times that they were there if I ever needed anything through out the planning process. Not only are they are very personable, and relatable, they put me at ease multiple times when we connected to talk about the wedding- it felt like we have known them for years, and not just spoke over the phone. Their turn around time is crazy quick. They were able to get us our entire gallery back within 2 and a half weeks after our New Years Day wedding. My husband I are were SO happy with how the photos came out. We heard nothing but compliments of the quality, editing, and overall picture taking. The details that Fernando caught on our wedding day, are ones that I will cherish forever. He also took the time to learn everyone's name that was in the bridal party, and was able to direct/pose us with no issues. The only thing I wish we had done more was take our engagement pics with them as well. I highly recommend Vivo Photography for your wedding day, you will not be disappointed.

This review is long over due. I met Breanna and Fernando at a wedding fair in San Francisco in my…read moreearly days of planning my wedding. From the minute I met them, I felt an instant connection with both of them. They were both kind and very professional from the start. They were 2 of the photographers we narrowed our search down to. We eventually went with them for their professionalism, sincere care for our needs, and cost. Our engagement pictures were amazing. Fernando guided us the whole time which was a big deal especially for my husband who hates being photographed and can be super awkward. I think lots of men have this issue :) Little did we know that our big wedding would be cancelled by a global pandemic 3 weeks before our big day. Breanna and Fernando worked with us patiently as we tried to find a new date and a new venue! They stayed the course with us. They prioritized us and reassured us that they would be there when the big day finally came. When we finally got married, they were attentive and captured the most beautiful photos of our wedding. It was such a beautiful day and I am so glad that they were there to help us with these special memories. Our gallery was delivered timely and the layout of the website they use is great. Overall, I would highly recommend Vivo Photographry! In fact I did. They also photographed my cousins wedding the same year. If you are looking for an amazing team to work with that can deliver on the final product, they are the perfect choice. Thank you Vivo Photographry!

Adele made me and my family feel so comfortable and was patient with my outfit changes taking her time making sure that I was happy. She even surprised me with a bottle of champagne at my shoot, and we got an excellent shot with it. She edited my pictures in the amount of time she told me it would take. I decided to hire her additionally for my party and couldn't be happier. She stood throughout the party, making sure to get all the details and made everyone feel comfortable capturing the best shots. Very easy to work with and makes you feel like you've known her for years. Thank you, Adele. I have now found the photographer I'll use for my future pictures.

These photos were for a graduation photoshoot, and he went above and beyond in capturing everything - not just ordinary photos, but also a lot of natural shots and suggested poses that I had never seen before (but was amazed with). He was punctual, thoughtful, and dedicated - on a sweltering morning in the direct sunlight! I recommend Ken without hesitation, and I hope he'll be available for all of my future special occasions. I should also mention that I am *incredibly* camera shy - I dislike taking photos, my smile is closer to a scowl, and I am robotic and often awkward with my poses and body movements. Ken was patient and kind, offering clear directions and helping me obtain an ideal picture. It really felt as if I was having a close friend taking my photos for a very special occasion - except Ken is a professional photographer and an amazing one at that. He truly knows how to capture meaningful moments so that their memories will last a lifetime.
