We chose them initially because of the beautiful work they do for outdoor weddings, but they are also the most kind and generous human beings. During all the photos on the day of they made us all feel so relaxed and beautiful. I had many of my bridesmaids say "they are making me feel like a million bucks" and so everyone was able to take photos because they felt better. They had great location ideas and captured many beautiful moments on our day of. We now, also, highly recommend them!

Where do I begin on how amazing both Darsha and Joel both are!!!! Believe me when I say, having a…read morehusband and wife duo as our photographers for our engagement session and for our wedding was THE BEST decision I made. From the beginning, Joel and Darsha were communicative, super well-organized, and basically amazing!! My husband and I first did an adventure session with them to take engagement photos at glamis dunes and Darsha and Joel brought a picnic set up, ran with us, played with us, and stayed late to grab the best lighting. Then COVID hit and we had to change our plans 100x and aldous photo was with us every step of the way re-organizing and helping plan with us. Literally, they acted as mini wedding planners while also being our soundboard on how to elope during a pandemic!! The day of our elopement, Darsha and Joel had picked the most unique and fun places to take pre-wedding photos, and they were so ready to take on every lighting and environment scenario possible. We did pre-elopement photos, then went to the courthouse, and then did a sunset boat ride on the Triton. Most importantly, the end result - our wedding photos and videos - are ABSOLUTELY brilliant and encapsulate so much of who my husband and I are. The photos are gorgeous and clean AND our wedding video is so much fun - it isn't your typical shoot and point video, but instead Darsha and Joel cut in clips from our engagement session, added in so many artistic clips, and put together a video that really represented the spirt of the day and the excitement we experienced afterwards. These two are absolutely EPIC and the best decision you can make is to hire both of them for photos and video! We loved them so much that we have hired them for our post-elopement reception late 2021 so long as it is safe to do so with Covid!

Where do I even begin?! If you're searching for a wedding photographer, you can stop right here…read more Eric Kieu is not just a master of his craft; he's the kind of person you want by your side on the most important day of your life. We are unbelievably happy we chose him. We were first introduced to Eric's work through a glowing recommendation from our friends, Denny and Thao. One look at his portfolio and we were sold. His photos aren't just pictures; they're epic, dynamic, and full of life. We knew instantly that his style was exactly what we were looking for. When we saw his pricing, it felt too good to be true--he was incredibly affordable. On paper, he was perfect. But what truly sets Eric apart is who he is as a person. From our first call to all our interactions on the wedding day, it was clear that Eric isn't just a photographer; he's a true artist who is deeply passionate about his work, especially his incredible use of lighting. On top of that, he's just a genuinely super cool guy. The same goes for his assistant, Thinh! Within minutes, we felt like we were hanging out with old friends, which made the entire experience so much more relaxed and fun. On the day of the wedding, Eric was a dream to work with. He taught us how to pose (which was a lifesaver!), made us feel completely comfortable, and had us laughing the entire time. He even went above and beyond by taking us to the beach mid-day to capture some absolutely breathtaking, epic shots that we will cherish forever. The final photos? Pure perfection. They captured the day exactly as we remember it: full of joy, love, and beautiful moments. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. I'm so grateful that we not only have a photographer we can recommend 100% to everyone we know, but also a new friend we can call on for any future photo ops. If you want stunning photos and an amazing experience, Eric Kieu is your guy. Thank you for everything, Eric!

Shaun really is the best of the best. I have professionally worked with many photographers in my…read morelife, and I was thrilled when I came across Shaun's work. His photos are artistic and intentional and clearly capture the mood and energy of the people and space that he photographs. We hired Shaun for my son's carnival-themed Bar Mitzvah in January and could not be more thrilled with the experience and the photos. Shaun was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was responsive leading up to the big day and extremely kind. On the day of the event, he was eager to capture every moment and worked incredibly hard. He did not stop. He had incredible energy and a positive attitude throughout the entire day and process. More than anything, the photos are PHENOMENAL... they totally capture the mood of the day. I will cherish the photos that he took for the rest of my life. (Detail shots included in my review to keep kids' privacy, but the photos of people are amaaaazing.) Photos are so important to me, and Shaun DELIVERED!!!!! I cannot speak more highly of the experience we had with Shaun. If you have an important life event coming up and want to have photos to look back at, HIRE SHAUN!!! You can thank me later :)

Every time we look through them, we find ourselves laughing and tearing up all over again. It feels like we get to relive not only the moments we experienced, but also the ones we didn't even get to see in real time. If you have the opportunity to work with Shaun--do it. He is truly the best.

Vince was able to capture the love, joy, fun and emotions of our wedding perfectly and we will cherish our wedding film forever. We've watched it so many times because he's truly a master of his craft. He is a great listener when it came to sharing our thoughts and ideas for the vibes we wanted for both our videos. He also incorporated the music that we were envisioning into our videos and everything turned out beautiful. If you're looking for a wedding videographer you cannot go wrong with Vince. We highly recommend him to capture your big day and we hope to work with him again in the future.
