    Reviews With Photos

    This review is long overdue. My wife and I hired Doug to photograph our special day and we're so glad we did! Doug did a fantastic job - even despite some less than ideal weather! Doug was very friendly with our family and friends. He was professional and helpful throughout the process, expertly working his way through and around our guests to get a bunch of great pictures of both our ceremony and reception. If you're looking for a wedding photographer we'd highly recommend Doug Miranda Photography!

    Doug did a fantastic job photographing our wedding day! He was communicative leading up to the big day and so helpful in efficiently posing us and our family members for portraits. He captured all the big moments (get ready, first looks down the aisle, vows, first dances) beautifully and caught a bunch of fun candids as well. He was somehow discreet (barely noticed him taking photos) but so thorough with all the shots he got! He even stayed a bit longer because some of our friends favorite songs came on and the dance floor was going wild. We received our photos back within two weeks and are so happy with the full experience that Doug provided. Would 100% recommend Doug to other couples!

    Hiring Doug Miranda Photography was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, and made us feel completely at ease. On the wedding day, they managed to capture every special moment--big and small--without ever feeling intrusive. The photos are absolutely stunning. The way Doug plays with light, details, and emotion is incredible; every image tells a story. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the entire day all over again, and we'll truly treasure these photos for the rest of our lives. Beyond their talent, Doug has such a warm, calming presence. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera (which is not easy for us!) and even kept us laughing through the portraits. Our family and friends can't stop raving about how beautiful and authentic the photos turned out. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is not only exceptionally skilled but also kind, professional, and a joy to be around, look no further than Doug Miranda. They went above and beyond in every way, and we are forever grateful!"

    If you want an exceptional photographer to capture your special event, you should hire Doug! He has an incredible talent and the photos will exceed your expectations. Doug made us feel so comfortable and at ease! He gave us easy directions for posing and kept the photos fun. He is so easy to work with and we are so grateful to have worked with him. He was so kind to us and all of our loved ones. He also did our engagement and wedding photos, both of which are everything we could have hoped for! He is also very responsive and communicative, navigating family dynamics and still making sure every aspect of your wedding was captured. Doug is the best photographer, please do yourself a favor and hire him!

    Doug was amazing and we HIGHLY recommend him. Here is why: - EXCELLENT photographer. Doug manages to make you feel immediately comfortable and helps coach you through poses and locations. I appreciated how he did an engagement photo shoot with us, which helped us get a good feel for how to take good photos. Come wedding day, the photos were better than I could have ever imagined. My husband and I are still in awe of what Doug managed to capture of us and our family and friends. - AMAZING communication. Doug is perhaps the most communicative person we have encountered in the wedding industry. This is not something to take for granted. Ever since our first phone call with him, he was super transparent and happy to discuss our ideas with us and give his professional thoughts. - Above and BEYOND dedication and professionalism. Doug scouted out our wedding site prior to our wedding day to help map out the best places ahead of time. This allowed us to get the absolute most out of our photography time day-of and resulted in absolutely breathtaking photos while saving us a ton of time. Due to him showing up prepared (and early might I add), we were able to get our dream photos.

    If you're getting married in the Sacramento/Napa/Lake Tahoe area and thinking about booking Doug, what are you waiting for?!? We hired Doug because we saw some of his previous work at our venue and knew he would scout out the best locations for our photos. The entire process was made smooth because of Doug's friendly demeanor and clear communication. He answered all of our questions with grace and patience and is very quick to reply to email. Most of Doug's wedding packages include a brief engagement session which was nice because it allowed us to get to know him and become comfortable with his shooting style before our big day. The photos turned out great and we could rest easy for 9 months knowing we made the right decision. On the wedding day, Doug brought his wife Christine along as his second shooter. They worked efficiently, capturing every detail of our day as our vendors set up and the bride and groom got ready. They also miraculously captured my entire family smiling in one picture, and were willing to work with my VERY scared and squirmy dog. Despite the brutally cold wind forcing our fall event indoors, we managed to capture some of the most stunning outdoor portraits after the ceremony, especially since they were willing to hike us up the side of a mountain to get my dream photos on a boulder in front of Lake Tahoe. Doug and Christine make an excellent team and they even felt like our guests, posing for some Polaroids we had set out for our friends and family to use throughout the reception! Our photos were processed and returned within a record 6 days!!! We feel so lucky to have had Doug Miranda Photography as an integral part of our best day ever. Thank you for making our wedding photography dreams come true!!

    My husband and I cannot recommend Doug enough to capture your perfect moments!! I did so much research on different photographers that were recommended by our wedding venue. Doug's photography stood out, so I reached out to him. His communication skills and response time (whether via email or text/call), were great. He took our engagement photos, our wedding portraits, ceremony and reception photos. He got all the pictures back to us so quickly and they were incredible. He's so kind and explains everything so thoroughly. You truly feel comfortable, especially for someone like me who's not the best in the front of the camera. It was such a blessing to be able to work with Doug for our special day. Our pictures turned out so amazing. His talent and work exceeded our expectations. We can't thank him enough.

    Jake C.

    Doug exceeded all our expectations!! He was extremely professional, made us so comfortable, and did an amazing job capturing our wedding day. We had Doug photograph our first look at the Sacramento World Peace Rose Garden and our whole ceremony and reception at the Firehouse Restaurant in October 2023. He did an amazing job capturing everything that we asked for and more. We can't say enough about how easy Doug made our wedding day. He was always in sync with our other vendors at the Firehouse, and he worked with all our family members and guests perfectly. We would definitely recommend Doug to any couple looking for a photographer. - Jake & Katie

    We loved working with Doug! He was so easy-going for both our engagement shoot, and on the wedding day. He's funny, while still being a complete professional. Our wedding day was an unseasonably hot October day, and he made sure that everyone was comfortable while still getting all our family photos and keeping us looking natural. He did great at capturing the formal and in between moments. We cannot recommend him enough for any special moments you need to capture.

    Doug was the absolute best photographer we could have ever asked for! He was super relaxed and helpful during both our engagement and wedding shoots. He was great at telling us what to do and where to be, all while having a great energy. The photos came out better than we can imagine. He totally knew what to do for every event at the wedding and also knew our venue very well. Cannot recommend Doug enough!

    Doug was ABSOLUTELY phenomenal! Forever grateful to have had him capture all of the magical moments from our special day! Doug was amazing from the beginning, always promptly responding and answering all of my questions! The day of my wedding he showed up early, greeted me with such excitement and made sure to capture the beautiful landscape while he patiently waited for me! My husband and I immediately felt at ease with Doug. His kindness, professionalism, humor, and expertise made the day so much better and we truly felt like we could just be ourselves while Doug captured our forever favorite memories. Thank you Doug! Can't wait for holiday season photos-you'll be my first call!

    We are so glad we hired Doug as our wedding photographer. He was professional, catered to our requests, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Communication was timely and clear. He's friendly, easy to talk to, and a pleasure to work with. He did a great job capturing both the little candid moments and more formal portraits. We definitely recommend Doug.

    Michelle M.

    I can not recommend Doug enough! He was extremely acomadating to my requests and schedule. He has an amazing eye to capture beautiful photos. He made the whole process fun and easy. My husband and I give him 5 stars!! Would definitely hire him again!

    We could not have asked for a better photographer and videographer team than Passion Studio…read more Raymond, the head photographer, was so easy to work with from the very beginning and really took the time to remember our names, including the names of our wedding party, which meant so much to us. Our photography and videography package included an engagement shoot, and when we first saw those photos, we immediately knew we made the right choice. The engagement photos came out so amazing that it made us even more excited to see how our wedding day would be captured. Raymond and his team truly went above and beyond on our wedding day. They were there from the very beginning, starting with our Chinese and Vietnamese tea ceremonies, and stayed all the way through the reception and dance floor. Every team member had such a clear vision for what to capture, and they absolutely delivered. One thing we really appreciated was that Raymond knew exactly when to step in and direct our wedding party and family members during photos. Weddings can get chaotic, especially with a large group, but he helped everyone remember what to do, kept things moving, and spoke up when needed. If someone was being a little too much or things started getting overwhelming, Raymond made sure we were still getting the photos and moments we wanted. That meant so much to us and made us feel really taken care of throughout the day. The Passion Studio team captured every part of the day so beautifully, and the photos and videos were everything we asked for and more. We were especially blown away by our wedding video. The way everything flowed together was perfect, and we loved how they included meaningful moments from our officiant, vows, speeches, and all the little details throughout the day. Watching it really felt like reliving our wedding all over again. I honestly expected the turnaround time to be longer, but Raymond shared our photos and videos with us within three weeks, and we were so happy with the results. It is very obvious that Raymond takes his work seriously and is truly passionate about what he does. We will cherish these photos and videos forever and highly recommend Raymond and his team to anyone looking for a photographer and videographer who are talented, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely care about their couples. They exceeded every expectation, and we are truly grateful we chose them to capture such an important day in our lives..

We already had a photographer booked which is why we only booked for videography. Raymond and his team are wonderful to work with. Communication was smooth and effortless. We received our videos a little over a month after the wedding. It was a quick turnaround! We absolutely love all the videos. A worthwhile investment 100%! Thank you so much Passion Studio team for capturing our special day. Thanks to you, we can look back and watch the films to remember our wedding day forever and ever!

If you're even slightly considering hiring Danielle for any type of photography...DO IT. Hiring Danielle to take my engagement and wedding photos was the single best decision I made throughout the entire wedding planning process. From our introductory phone call to our last set of emails about fixing a (beautiful absolutely perfectly shot) wedding photo (that was ruined by a wedding crasher), Danielle was nothing but friendly, warm, professional, knowledgeable, and all-around delight. A huge amount of our guests commented how kind and unobtrusive Danielle was and how they wished their wedding photographer had been more like her. And I haven't even gotten to her talent yet. Danielle is just a really damn good photographer. My husband and I both don't particularly love having our photo taken and, if I'm being honest, we haven't worn more than sweats in the last 2+ years since we both work from home. Every photo Danielle has taken of us is absolutely stunning and we both felt so comfortable with her during the process. I seriously cannot recommend her enough.

    Do yourself a favor and hire Danielle as your wedding photographer!…read more Where do I even start - Danielle is amazing at what she does! She made my husband and I feel super comfortable in front of her camera and it feels like you've known her forever because of her kind, bubbly and sweet personality. We recently got our wedding photos back from our city hall ceremony and what can I say WOW just WOW! Pure magic! Choosing which photos to put in our album and on our walls will be a very tough decision! Danielle - we can't thank you enough for capturing one of the best days in our lives and can't wait to work with you again! Much love, Tamara and Rob

Having a true one-stop shop for our photographer, videographer, DJ, and officiant made the entire wedding planning process so much easier and significantly reduced the stress that comes with coordinating multiple vendors. One of the things we loved most was that, even though everyone worked under the same company, we were still able to choose the specific professionals we wanted from their roster of talent. It gave us the perfect balance of convenience and personalization. We were fortunate to have Andrea as our photographer, Hai as our videographer, DJ Tri as our DJ and MC, and Brad as our officiant--and every single one of them exceeded our expectations. Andrea was absolutely amazing to work with. She was creative, patient, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, captured every meaningful moment so naturally, and was always one step ahead in anticipating the perfect shot. Our wedding photos turned out so beautifully and brings us to happy tears. We cannot wait to cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Hai did an incredible job capturing the details, emotions and special moments throughout our day. He was extremely professional, creative, knew how to get the best footage/lighting, and somehow managed to document everything without ever feeling intrusive. We fully trusted Hai in documenting our wedding day. We are confident that our wedding film that Hai produces will allow us to relive the magic of our special day for years to come. DJ Tri completely understood the vibe we wanted for our wedding. We hired a string quartet for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and DJ Tri provided his own sound system in order to amplify their music. For the reception, he kept the energy exactly where it needed to be, and transitioned the music we requested so well throughout the evening (from island reggae, to country music, to hip hop). He also kept the timeline running smoothly and made every transition feel seamless. Brad was the perfect officiant for our wedding. He delivered a meaningful ceremony that felt personal, genuine, and truly reflected us as a couple. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the ceremony was. What stood out most about Elegant Events Media was how seamlessly everyone worked together. There was clear communication, coordination, and teamwork throughout the entire planning process and on the wedding day itself. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our vendor team was already familiar with one another and worked so well together. Our wedding day was everything we had dreamed of and more, and each member of our EEM team played such an important role in making it so magical. We are incredibly grateful to Elegant Events Media for helping create memories that we will treasure for a lifetime. If you're looking for talented professionals, exceptional service, and an stress-free planning experience, we cannot recommend Elegant Events Media highly enough.

    We booked Love & Photos for our wedding photography and videography. Our photographer was Jaylynn,…read moreand our videographer was Jacob. Before the wedding, our assigned photographer changed several times, which made the planning process more stressful than it needed to be. I wasn't able to build a connection with the person who would actually be photographing our wedding until just before the event. I eventually reached out to Jaylynn myself so we could go over the timeline and discuss expectations. On the wedding day, Jaylynn was kind and helpful while I was getting ready. She even assisted my bridesmaids with making sure my dress was laying properly, which I appreciated. However, I was surprised that no "getting dressed" photos were taken, as those are moments many couples expect to have documented. Throughout the day, she often asked, "What's next?" which gave me the impression that she wasn't fully familiar with our timeline or directing the flow of the day. The poses and shots also felt fairly standard, and the sample shot list the company provided wasn't followed very closely. Jacob, our videographer, was professional and quietly captured moments throughout the day without being intrusive. At the time of writing this review, we have not yet received our final gallery. I'm sincerely hoping I'm completely wrong about my initial impressions and that the finished photos leave me speechless. Editing can make a tremendous difference, and I truly hope we're blown away by the final product. I'll happily update this review if the gallery exceeds our expectations.
