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!

Toan was honestly a dream to work with; the guidance, artistry, professionalism, and fun attitude he brought to our wedding were incredible. He's extremely charistmatic and talented and captured the happiness of the day perfectly in our expressions and body language. Should we have any other events in the future, we will absolutely keep Toan in mind!

To me, hiring the right photographer was the most important part of the wedding planning process. Their portfolio had amazing photos and Rachael didn't disappoint! Anna, our Photography Coordinator, sent us forms to fill out ahead of time and she then created a photography brief, which included all of the shots we wanted, making the family portraits go quickly and smoothly. They were good about calling and checking-in right before the wedding to make sure they brought our vision to life. Rachael and Jenny were fun to work with during our first look photo shoot, which we had off sight prior to our ceremony. They let us be natural but they also made suggestions for various poses, which we appreciated. They worked well together and captured the whole day beautifully and before they left the reception, they checked in to see if we wanted any last photos. We couldn't wait to see the photos they took and loved looking at our sneak peak photos a few weeks later! So fun to get a taste of our first look. Then we got the email saying that all of our photos were ready!! (which arrived ahead of the expected timeline, which was most likely a perk to getting married in the off season!) They were amazing! We are so happy with how they came out!

She did our engagement photos too, which were our first time doing any kind of professional shoot, and she made it feel so easy and natural. She really captured us beautifully. We just got our wedding sneak peek back and are blown away. Nicole was the perfect person to have with us on the day--she kept everything light and fun, and made us feel totally at ease. She's so so so talented. The whole One Love team was great to work with. They checked in throughout the process with surveys to understand what was important to us and offered helpful feedback based on their experience with our venue. On the day, Nicole's assistant photographer Megan was also lovely--we love the photos they both captured and feel so lucky they were recommended to us.

I hired Joel to photograph my son's wedding reception. I had explained ahead of time that the event…read morewas in a banquet room with low lighting and lots of bright colors, and that it was important to me that he capture photos of our family as well as all the guests. In that respect, Joel did a very good job. He photographed the newlyweds, the guests, and the performances thoroughly, and he worked quietly and unobtrusively throughout the evening. However, there were very few pictures of our family. I wished he had focused on getting more family pictures. The reason I am giving a 4-star review rather than 5 is due to a lack of clarity around post-processing. It was not communicated beforehand that the photos would be largely unedited. While the lighting was adjusted, many images ended up overexposed, and there were several distracting background elements--such as podiums, backpacks, and visible wires--that I had expected would be edited out. When I asked about this, I was told that additional editing would cost extra. There was also a lot of emphasis on a complimentary drone photo of the entire party, which unfortunately was not feasible since the event was indoors. I wish the focus had instead been on clearly explaining what level of editing was included and taking more family pictures. Overall, if you are looking for someone to efficiently cover an event and capture everyone present, Joel does a solid job. If you want more detailed editing or a specific finished look, I would strongly recommend clarifying those expectations in advance. I read many Yelp reviews before hiring him and did not see this mentioned, so I felt it was important to share.

My husband and I met with many companies and photographers but couldn't find the quality we were looking for until we discovered his work--it felt like art: natural, timeless, and beautifully composed. Charles photographed our engagement session at a local park, and the photos turned out absolutely stunning. We received countless compliments on our wedding website and invitations. He was creative, professional, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the process. He guided us with poses, helped us feel confident, and knew exactly how to capture our best angles. This meant so much to us, especially since my husband and I are usually camera-shy and not comfortable with romantic poses. Before the wedding, Charles met with us to review logistics and shared helpful insights that made the day run seamlessly. Our family loved him and appreciated how efficiently he organized and captured all of our group photos. The results speak for themselves--our wedding pictures look like they came straight out of a professional magazine. The candid dance floor shots were incredible, and we were amazed by how many genuine moments he captured without us even noticing. His attention to detail in editing is outstanding. Charles was such a huge help during the wedding, offering advice, coordinating smoothly with our vendors, and ensuring everything went perfectly. We never felt stressed and fully trusted him to work his magic. It was such a thoughtful surprise to receive preview photos the day after the wedding. We truly appreciate his hard work, professionalism, and dedication to making our day unforgettable. From our engagement session to our wedding, our experience with Charles was exceptional!

I really like how Brandon blends the photography style of more traditional/posed, with edgy, and photo journalistic. He really really listened to us and put in some great suggestions we didn't even think about. He captured every single moment of our event perfectly and took in our theme and styled them that way to emphasize it. Not only does Brandon's pictures speak volumes of his talent, he is also very professional and understands the world of photography, how to utilize the light, colors, backdrop, and people. He gave me and my wedding party directions on how to situate ourselves so we turned out looking the best we can in each photo. I've been told by colleagues and friends that I looked like an elegant model in each of the shots. I also had a great time with Brandon and his team, I can honestly say that I've made a friend for life! A picture is worth a thousand words so I've posted a few of my favorites that Brandon took of our wedding on the image page so you can see how talented he really is. We are the two with top hats. :D Brandon and his team are amazing and I seriously could not recommend a better person to capture the best time of your life!

Looking for a wedding photographer?? Look no further, and just contact Anna!…read more We absolutely loved all the photos that she captured for our special day at The Gardens at Heather Farm. She was easy going and kept the photography process simple and fun. She worked with our tight schedule without any stress, even when some things didn't go according to plan (ie. people not showing up at the right spot/time). We truly appreciated how prepared and creative she was, knowing what photos to take and where to take them. And whenever there was a random group photo being taken by a cell phone, she would magically appear and take an even better photo for us. Amazing! We will definitely reach out to her if we ever need photography services again. Thank you so much, Anna!

For the engagement photos, this was back in November 2023. She was already there when we arrived. Zach and I both felt so awkward and nervous since this was our first photo shoot, but Anna worked her magic and did her best to help us relax for the entire session. She's also a dog person so I was overjoyed that our dog was able to join us in these photos. After we saw the amazing engagement photos, I knew I had to secure her for our wedding day. Her response time is great as well; she will let you know when she is out of town and how long/when to expect a response from her. Our wedding was in mid-July 2024. Anna was there early again to scope out the wedding venue and checked in with both Zach and I the entire event. When I was having trouble walking in my dress, she was quick on her feet to help me. We had a long list of photos we wanted with family and she was able to organize everyone in a timely fashion. We only saw a snippet of the wedding photos, but I already know that the rest will turn out wonderfully. Anna is super friendly, approachable and such a sweet and kind person. She has a professional demeanor that is also very open, honest and fun. Working with her both times has been a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Anna for anyone that wants their special moments captured. I look forward to working with her in possible future photo shoots :) Thank you so much Anna! You are amazing!!
