Daniel was wonderful to work with! We planned a simple wedding ceremony at SF City Hall in a short period of time. My fiancée and I knew we had to prioritize the things were important to us, beautiful photos were one of those things. We needed a photographer that was familiar with City Hall and searched online until we found Daniel. We knew he was the right fit when we saw this work and got to exchange a few emails. He was so easy to work with and just understood what we wanted. Daniel was very flexible and adaptable. He was truly tested when found out there was news conference at the foot of the stairs as well as rain, both threw a wrench in our plans but we worked with what we had and it was lovely. We got our photos quickly too. Our friends and family gushed over our photos, they could not believe we found such a good photographer in such a short period of time. I would absolutely recommend Daniel. read more

I think my wife would be able to give a more detailed account of our interaction with Daniel, but i'll give you the overview. We found Daniel here on Yelp and we went with him over the other photographers because he was easy to get in touch with, nice in person, and we likes his portfolio. When we met him we saw him for the nice and fun guy that he is. It was important for us to feel like we're dealing with a person instead of a stiff robot (if that makes sense). On the wedding day, he was awesome! He directed us very well and even took some specific shots for us. He even put up with all the family and friend pictures after the ceremony haha! We had some issues of losing light (winter marriage) and he decided to take some more pictures at the church before we headed off to the reception area and this turned out to be a GREATA decision since it was very dark soon. Had we waited, those ceremony pictures would have been dark. He had worked at our venue before, so he knew his way around the place and did his thing. I focused on enjoying the moment and making sure my new bride was happy, and Daniel took care of the awesome pictures. We got back all the pictures within a month and my wife went back and forth with him over email to pick some photos to touch up and to re-edit. In the end we were SUPER HAPPY and i would recommend Daniel Hon to anyone. I might recommend against winter weddings though =P unless you give yourself more time to take great pictures with the daylight. THANK YOU DANIEL! read more

Daniel relived so much stress on our wedding! He allowed us to play with poses we liked and also snapped shots we didn't even know he was taking! He was so kind and made sure we didn't have to worry about any of our special moments being captured. Everyone loved his photos and we will cherish them forever! read more

My fiance and I booked Daniel for a 2-hour engagement shoot in 2 locations in San Jose. It was great working with Daniel! The goods: - He was communicative/ responsive, which was really important to us! - He did his research on the locations. Originally we wanted to do the second location in Palo Alto but based on his research the place did not allow for non-personal & commercial photography, so that was a really good info for us to know a few days before the shoot day! - He was punctual - It was obvious that he loves what he does because we had booked for a 2-hr engagement session but we went over to 3 hours (no extra charge!)- he seemed so excited to take photos the whole 3 hours, so we could see his passion in photography :) - He has good editing skills. The final 30 pics we chose (out of the 200+ photos he took!) came out with really good quality. - He is friendly and liked to get to know his clients! It really did feel like we were friends :) Area(s) for improvement: - Really can't think of any! It was too bad that we can't use him as our wedding photographer (as our wedding is in SoCal and we had already booked our wedding photographer there before finding Daniel.) We would definitely recommend him to any couple getting married! read more

Daniel was AMAZING at my bridal shower and I ended up with almost a hundred beautifully retouched photos. He captured all the little moments that made up my intimate event with incredible detail -- he took photos of the decor, the food, and of course, me and every group combination imaginable with my guests of family and friends. I had contracted Daniel for an hour at my bridal shower at a restaurant in Mountain View. He arrived early, stayed later than asked, and even complied with all of my family's crazy requests. Throughout the process (from negotiating to event to follow up) Daniel was quick to respond and was extremely professional. The quality of his work is evident through his photos and stellar reviews. I didn't know what to expect as I had booked him rather last minute. I was SO glad that I did and was blown away. I love, love, love my photos. Thank you again, Daniel!! I highly recommend him to photograph any of your special events!! read more

Daniel Hon Photography - Lol that's all of us - Event Photography Near Me

We hired Daniel for our SF City Hall ceremony early January. My husband and I are pretty private and shy so the idea of taking pictures in public was quite intimidating and daunting but we didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to capture our special day in photos. Daniel did an amazing job making us feel comfortable at SF City Hall. He knew the City Hall like the back of his hands--knew all the picture perfect spots there. He was patient, made an effort to show us the pictures as he was taking them to gauge what we liked and didn't like, he joked with us to make us feel more at ease, and the best part was his genuine honest feedback and attention to detail during the shoot when our smiles were becoming too frozen (lol), when my dress was bunching up, and when our postures weren't great. It was great to get those feedback during the shoot so we could adjust and avoid taking pictures we might not like. We had my parents and brothers family with us that day and Daniel made an effort to remind me to take pictures with everyone. He even took pictures of my family when I needed a break. My family was thrilled with the outcome of their photos and I couldn't be happier with the results of our photos! I was honestly only expecting a couple to turn out well enough to frame but there were a ton that were absolutely beautiful! Thanks Daniel!! read more

Daniel Hon Photography - Event Photography Near Me

We are very happy with the process of working with Daniel as well as how the pictures turned out. Daniel shot our engagement photos as well as the wedding day photos. Before each event, he made sure to go through what he would do that day as well as answer any questions or concerns we had. He is very organized and thorough, going to the locations beforehand as well as giving us scenarios of the kinds of shots he thought would be good for each event day. He also made sure to get the types of shots we were looking for as well. Daniel takes beautiful photos and does a fantastic job editing them as well, we'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer. read more

Daniel Hon Photography - M & T - Event Photography Near Me

My husband and I picked Daniel as our wedding photographer after meeting with 4 other photographers. From the very first meeting with him, he stood out and we instantly trusted him. Throughout the whole process, he was very professional, reliable, friendly, and responsive. Prior to the wedding, we discussed our timeline in details and he had few recommendations, which we incorporated as they were great. He arrived right on time and was very independent throughout the whole process. We completely trusted him and it was great that we did not have to worry about one of the most important things in the wedding. Daniel is also a very skilled photographer; he took beautiful photos of our wedding and was very accommodating of our requests. Also his rates are very reasonable and processing time was quicker then expected. I would definitely recommend Daniel for anyone who is looking for a photographer to capture life's precious moments because he would be able to do that to the fullest! read more

Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic! I have nothing but good things to say about our wedding photographer, Daniel Hon. Before hiring a wedding photographer I researched a ton. All of the photographers were ridiculously expensive, and for a bride on a budget, Daniel Hon was a steal. I wasn't completely convinced that he was the photographer for us, so I first decided to try him out with our engagement photos. Those turned out beautifully. Daniel was completely professional throughout the entire shoot and helped to direct my fiancé and I on different shots/poses we could try. We were really happy with how the final product turned out. Then for our wedding, he arrived early, he got all of the shots I said that I wanted, and he worked his butt off the entire time. We even had to tell him to take a break and grab some food because we were worried he was working too much. He delivered our photos on time as promised and did a fantastic job with the final product. I highly, highly recommend him to anyone getting married. We plan to use him for any future photo shoots our family plans to take. Thank you, Daniel! read more

I will work with him in the future and I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs a photographer for any occasion. Thanks Daniel!!! read more

I had Daniel to be the photographer for my kids' birthday. I love the way how he takes pictures so naturally and creatively. Unlike many photographers would ask you to make different poses and take a picture. Instead, Daniel gave us an option and we prefer candid shot-like pictures. Which turned out really really good with our nature smiles. (Yes, we are kind of camera shy). On that day, he mingled with my friends and family very quickly and all the pictures were turned out amazingly cool. He captured all the important and special moments on that day! If anyone of you needs a personal photographer, I highly recommend Daniel. read more

I am very very very please with Daniel's work! He did such an amazing job. For our initial meet weren't able to meet with him In person, he gave us the option to Skype. Through Skype we set our date and talk about the vision of the wedding. Daniel was very professional, very fun to work with. He suggested different poses for us to do and also had a few of his signature poses. Daniel was in the background capturing every moment of the wedding. He had a very nice zoom lense for those intimate moments. We had so much fun with Daniel, I cannot recommend him enough. He is the real deal! read more

I had two fantastic experiences with Daniel - truly a 5 star photographer. First, I hired Daniel to take both candid and posed pictures the day I proposed to my fiancee. This required us to coordinate so Daniel could find us on the beach (surprisingly hard on a beach with no landmarks!), set up in a non-obvious place, and take pictures of the actual proposal. Daniel did a fantastic job on this - the proposal pictures turned out really well! After I actually proposed, we did 20 minutes of posed photos on the beach. Like others have mentioned, Daniel suggested some really good poses and these pictures also turned out great. Second, based on the positive experience, I hired Daniel to be the photographer on our religious engagement day - this involved a HIndu ceremony in the morning followed by a restaurant dinner at night. Daniel again did a great job, especially for the morning ceremony. He really captured the joy of the event and there are so many wonderful family pictures that were created. Out of purely the goodness of his heart, Daniel actually worked 30 minutes longer than we'd agreed on in the morning because, as he said, "he was feeling inspired". Across both days, Daniel was wonderful to work with. He was always early, communication was clear and easy, and he struck the right balance of listening to what he wanted but then filling in the gaps with what he thought would work well. As a really nice bonus, he brought his fiancee with him to both events - and she's also a photographer (congrats again!). Daniel's rates were also very compelling when compared to other photographers in the area. Last, the he overdelivered vs the turnaround times he'd quoted in the invoice, and even was able to accommodate a special request we had to get a small handful of pictures a bit early. I really would recommend working with Daniel for any photography needs you might have for a big event. Thank you again! read more

My husband and I searched for a photographer for quite some time. And then we found Daniel. He presented himself and showed us his photos. Daniel told us all the things we were wanting for our photos without us asking and he gave us just that and so much more!! We knew God had answered our prayers!! The poses, the timing, the lighting..... We can't stop looking at the beautiful memories Daniel created for us! My husband and I both have recommended Daniel to several friends who have upcoming special events. read more

I have had experience with many photographers throughout the years, and I can honestly say that my experience with Daniel has been the best by far. My partner and I asked him to shoot some Maternity photos for us both at 6 months and at 9 months. Despite having never shot that genre before, he enthusiastically accepted the challenge. Besides having a creative vision when he arrived at the shoot, he was incredibly professional and open to all of the input that we provided. He took our suggestions, no matter how outlandish, and helped us to improve upon them. The best part was, our photos were so original, all of our friends were jealous of them. They really captured our personalities. I should mention that he is incredibly affordable as well. Family friendly pricing. They were definitely not the trite, overdone, overpriced everyday photos you are used to seeing. I look forward to hiring Daniel for the next big event, an recommend him to anyone who wants a memorable set of photos for an event. read more

Daniel and Polly, his assistant, were more than awesome. Before the appointment, Daniel and I exchanged more than two dozens emails trying to figure out the most suitable place to take photos in our traditional Chinese wedding costumes. He went out of his way to check the places in person and came up with the best locations for us. On the day of our photo-shoot, my fiancé and I were 45 minutes late. (Sorry, Daniel and Polly.) They waited for us under the 90 degrees sun and greeted us with warm smiles. Despite our tardiness, they took their time to take photos and helped us pose. A few days later, he uploaded unedited photos for us to review. I couldn't believe how beautiful the photos were even in an unedited state. Another few days later, he sent us the edited version, which turned out to be stunning. I am an amateur photographer who knows how to appreciate good photos. Daniel's photography skills definitely impressed me. read more

Daniel took our engagement photos this spring. We took them in Golden Gate Park. Daniel did a great job, and worked with us to get a feel of what we were hoping for. We're a pretty silly couple, and the photos really captured our personalities. Daniel also made sure to get plenty of serious, adorable images as well. The photos made our mothers cry (in a good way), which is a seal of approval in my book. Would I recommend him to a friend? Yes! Would I hire him again? Yes! Would I have asked him to photograph our wedding had I not already signed on someone else? In a heartbeat! This guy is great- you will not be disappointed. read more

I hired Daniel for my engagement and wedding day last November. My friend referred him to me. His profession really really impressed me during the first met up. He was willing to meet up at Vallejo which is almost an hour away from his office. Although he is not a wedding planner, he knows everything about planning and he actually stayed with me at the location for 1 hour to give me advice how to setup the ceremony and reception. He showed me how I should do the walk-in in order to get the best pictures, and he also showed me how officiant, best man, and bride mate should be arrange. I was about to book him for 12 hours but after the discussion, he ended up suggest me to book him 10 hours. Woohoo!! my photographer saved $$ for me! How nice! I received my pictures last month and they are BEAUTIFUL. My mom and my husband, and all of my friends love it so much. He really really can catch the moment. There are few pictures when my mom saw it, she almost cried. I literally love all of the pictures. If you need a wedding photographer, I highly recommend him because of his easy going personality and profession. read more

Daniel and Lywen took photographs of me and my family recently. It was not only a fun experience, but the pictures were some of the best I've seen everyone in the group. They made us feel very comfortable and the ideas for posing were clever. They were very patient (I have a 2 year old) and had a good sense of humor. I would highly recommend their services for any special occasion. The experience exceeded my expectations and my birthday will now be remembered with love. read more

I found Daniel Hon after quoting 10 other photographers in the Bay Area, and I am flattered to have selected him for our wedding reception. Our event was 3 weeks ago, and we have gotten our photos already, well-edited and touched up. The work was beautifully done. We booked him for a 4 hours shoot, and Daniel fulfilled every minute attentively. He had captured people expressions and actions that we often miss during busy parties like these. My husband is quite shy when it comes to photography...Daniel made the shoot fun and encouraging for us, we now have pictures of smiles and kisses that I had never seen before. Daniel is not only excellent in his photography, his business sense, communication skills, and passion in his work are hard to find. I highly recommend Daniel Hon for event photography. And many thanks Daniel for the lovely photos. I'm glad we found you! read more

Daniel Hon deserves six stars!! He really is the best. He captured our wedding on April 5th, 2014. We booked Daniel for our wedding photography based on his reviews, and I am so grateful that we did. He was really easy to talk to and answer all our questions. We had one consult before the big day, and it was more than enough to know that Daniel would do a great job. On the wedding day he arrived early to our venue, and started capturing our wedding moments right away. I am truly happy with his work, and experience. Thank you Daniel for helping make our wedding day a stress free experience. I highly recommend Daniel Hon Wedding Photography. Daniel has a true gift in photography. read more

Daniel is an amazingly patient and experienced photographer. He has a great eye for details and captured our wedding beautifully.

Daniel is simply the best photographer that I've ever worked with in the Bay Area. We had the opportunity of having him for our wedding pictures and we just love our photos. He is a great photographer or better to say, he is a brilliant artist with sharp eyes. You should totally trust Daniel and have him as your photographer. He's never late, always listens and cares about you and your special day. What was really great about him was that he was relaxed and professional while photographing. Trust me, you don't wanna work with stressed out photographers who don't make your special day fascinating but stressful. Daniel also photographed my brother's wedding ceremony and we all love their photos.

I met Daniel at my friend's wedding earlier this year. During the group picture time, he was friendly, patient, and willing to show everyone how to pose. (Yaaay!) He wasn't afraid to shoot the same pose several times to make sure that he got the perfect shot. I was also surprised that my friend received her wedding photo within a month because I know of many people who don't get their wedding photos for months after their wedding! Great at capturing candid and tender moments as well, Daniel is super talented with a great eye for detail. HIGHLY recommend Daniel if you need a wedding photographer! :) read more
