It also started with getting ready at night and taking family/friend photos in our backyard after sunset, given COVID meant we had to push our event back to November. Kanoa went above and beyond being willing to work with both the outdoor photos, bringing his own additional lighting, and taking photos at the club venue where we were having our event. He was also stepping in for another photographer who could no longer make our event, and was willing and eager to help out despite the short notice of only a few weeks. His assistant Jay, who also helped out the day of, was also wonderful to work with. We appreciate all that Kanoa and Eyeconik did to help us capture the special day, and ensuring we have many memories to cherish over the years!

I loved being able to see my photos, which he finished 2-3 weeks after the wedding. He captured all the joy and love in the room. For the video, it was magical! We both cried seeing the video and were so happy that we chose the video and photo package. He was one of the best parts of the wedding because he was there to facilitate so many personal moments for me and my husband. I cant recommend him enough!

I've met seasoned professionals as well as the novice and student who take advantage of this open and friendly platform. I have acted, written and directed with the MMTB group and it's been a wonderful networking experience as well as a place to hone one's skills while facing some fun and interesting challenges with the "film in a day challenge!" Many artists are able to test and refine their craft and show their work in regularly scheduled short film festivals throughout the year. I look forward to many more fond experiences in the film world with Elena and MMTB!

Conveniently tucked behind some auto repair shops and a arc shop. No big visible signage for you to know you're there. So it's not of a hunt. But we found it. I had the pleasure of working here providing some BTS footage for a friend on his music video shoot. That big Cyclorama was everything we could ask for. Plus the facility operator was excellent with helping on setups and ideas. The lighting was perfect. My only hiccup was how damn hot it gets in there!!! lol gotta keep those fans blow full swing to counter that heat.. other than that it's pretty perfect. You can fit about two cars in there comfortably nothin more. There seating, water and a mini fridge on hand in case they're needed. I recommend this spot to anyone looking for good rates and help on filming location with complete studio setups available. Definitely a must rent.

You made us feel comfortable, allowed her to be herself, and documented every genuine moment -- frosting, tears, and all. These photos mean more than you know. We're so grateful to have these memories forever.

Wow, Yelp really came through again! I was searching for a photographer for our engagement photos…read moreand Google didn't bring Vinh up, but Yelp did, and I'm so grateful. From the very beginning, Vinh was incredibly informative, professional, and genuinely friendly. His communication is exceptional. I don't think he ever took more than 24 hours to respond to my requests. My fiancé and I are not photogenic people. We've never done a photoshoot together and honestly i'm a bit awkward. But Vinh made us feel completely comfortable right away. He guided us through poses, gave helpful suggestions on outfit colors to match our location, and even recommended spots that perfectly matched the vision I had in mind. The actual shoot turned out to be so much fun! We were laughing, relaxed, and really just enjoying ourselves. We did a 2 hour engagement photoshoot and we chose Muir Woods and Mount Tamalpais as our locations. And the best part? The photos were ready in less than five days! The turnaround time was so quick, and the quality of the photos completely exceeded our expectations. We honestly feel so lucky to have found Vinh. He captured everything we hoped for and more. I would be honored to have him as our wedding photographer! Fingers crossed, he'll be available !

Overall, amazing experience with TDE and highly recommend!…read more We needed a Cantonese-English bilingual day-of-coordinator and MC for our wedding in Sacramento, and we decided to go with Carina (coordinator) and Jackson (MC). Although we did not purchase a full package from TDE, Carina and Jackson worked seamlessly with the rest of our chosen vendors. They (and the TDE team) were extremely organized, communicative, and supportive. One thing I really appreciated was that my husband was cc'd on every single email so that I wouldn't have to play middle man to relay every message to him as well. On the day of, Carina and Jackson went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. They were so thoughtful and considerate throughout the entire process. We got so many compliments from our family members about Jackson's MCing. Our wedding party also really loved how Carina kept everyone organized and on schedule. She was also able to seamlessly communicate with our Chinese restaurant venue to make sure our requests were met. Thank you so much Carina, Jackson, and Jessica!

I had a very positive experience working with TDE. It was easy to schedule a free consultation,…read morewhere we first spoke with Otis, and could ask many questions up front before deciding to move forward. Otis was kind with great attention to detail from the start. Ultimately, we decided with the glam package and our contract was very clear to understand with cost breakdown for removal of specific services / add-ons. I updated it many times with Jessica, our planner, as we made changes throughout the months, and she was always so patient and clear. Our MC Otis did a wonderful job with maintaining flow of the program. Otis was also working as DJ for a good portion of the evening, so props to him! We had closer to an hour compared to 1.5 hours of open dancing because we were behind schedule, but everybody was on the dance floor and he kept the party going seamlessly. Weddings are hectic and there are so many moving parts; we did get behind schedule but we were still able to do everything we wanted to do. Our photo & video services were set to end, but Otis was very professional in discussing with us if we wanted to extend our video services, communicative on additional cost, at the moment. Our photographer, Ben, along with the team Stanford and videographer, Christina, were so fun to work with. Ben was great at providing direction, which is especially helpful since we were not used to posing. I have not received photo & video yet as it has only been a week, but from an experience standpoint, they were attentive to detail, communicative, and glided effortlessly through the event. My makeup artist, Vivi, is the sweetest person. She was super attentive to detail and my particular skin type. I was worried about makeup because I don't wear heavy makeup often. I ended up paying for a make-up trial, and I was so happy working with Vivi that I had no worries for the wedding day. We also added-on make up for our mothers, which Vivi did the morning of. The reception decor turned out so pretty! Everything was set-up as scheduled. I was really happy with the welcome backdrop and name sign. It was also great to take pictures with guests with the backdrop since we had time during cocktail hour. We asked TDE to incorporate a large screen as the backdrop of our sweetheart table, so we found an example from a previous wedding they did, and it turned out exactly as expected. We added the photo-booth, which was so popular with the guests! There were so many cool props and our guests were having tons of fun with it. I also sent TDE a custom drawing that I wanted for the photo strips- and it turned out just like I imagined. We chose Grand Dynasty as our reception venue, and TDE communicated set-up details with our restaurant event manager, Esmond, in the days leading up to the event. I highly recommend TDE and the team that we worked with! Thank you for making it an unforgettable experience.

Not only were they friendly and professional throughout the day, but they even went above and beyond--helping us when our car got stuck in the sand at the beach after our wedding! As someone who is into videography as a hobby, I was looking for a production team who could deliver great production value, look, essence, and capture each moment of our wedding so that we could be transported back to that day every time we rewatch the footage. Mike and his team absolutely delivered. The videos turned out beautifully, capturing all the important moments and emotions in a way we'll treasure forever. Mike kept us in the loop, stayed in great communication, and provided preview edits so we could give feedback before finalizing everything. The final products were polished, creative, and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Sesno Media Productions for weddings or any special event in the Bay Area. Mike and his team truly care about their clients, and it shows in both their work and the way they go the extra mile.
