Leo is a phenomenal photographer (or, shall I say, phamomenal photographer?). Not only is he talented, but his dedication to his art and clients truly sets him apart. I came across his work on social media years ago. I shared Leo's portfolio with my fiancé (boyfriend at the time), who is also a photography enthusiast, and he was thoroughly impressed. We knew Leo was going to be our wedding photographer. The only thing in our way was that we weren't engaged yet. When my fiancé finally proposed, the first wedding vendor we committed to was Leo. We had a video call with him and really enjoyed our conversation. We booked him for our wedding. We didn't even shop around or chat with other photographers. We knew Leo was the one. Then we began brainstorming for our engagement shoot. We desired something unique and special. And we had the perfect photographer to help us fulfill our vision. My fiancé and I love the outdoors and wanted to take our engagement photos in one of our favorite places: Utah. Our destination engagement shoot required a significant hike on an unmarked trail, deep in the Utah backcountry. Although Leo is not an avid hiker, he was on board. It was the best experience we could have asked for, despite Mother Nature not cooperating. We flew Leo out for three days. He was a consummate professional throughout the entire trip. We got to know one another and developed a friendship. This bond is crucial for any photographer and his/her clients. We trusted him with our photos, our moments, and our story. We knew he would capture "us" in our truest selves. Posing in front of a camera is intimidating, and I felt extremely awkward at first. However, Leo made the experience fun and comfortable. Furthermore, we were blown away by Leo's dedication and ability to take advantage of every situation. This man does not stop working. He was snapping photos from the moment we woke up, to the moment we headed to bed. He is not afraid to experiment with different techniques. After a long day of hiking 9.5 miles against 25-30 mph winds, Leo continued his photography wizardry in the evening. We took photos during golden hour and some amazing nighttime shots that involved rigorous physical exertion on Leo's part (running around). Despite the wild weather conditions, Leo never complained or wavered. As an avid outdoorswoman, I was over our hike but Leo inspired me to keep trekking! He was a true trooper tackling the 30-mph-winds and long mileage. More impressively, his camera never stopped clicking. Leo didn't simply take photos at our destination, he was shooting during the whole hike. He found cool angles and sensational viewpoints. Due to the strong winds, my dress and hair were whipping in every direction. I could barely keep my eyes open with the wind and swirling sand. At times, I felt like I was on the verge of getting blown away. I was worried the photos wouldn't turn out well, but Leo went toe-to-toe with Mother Nature, and our pictures from that day were excellent. On the third and final day, we embarked on a short hike to a slot canyon. While it was a less strenuous day, the temperatures were in the low 40s. I was struggling to keep warm in my formal attire. Leo was extremely patient as I took numerous breaks to put on my jacket or switch out of my heels. At the end, he got some awesome "fashion shots". Leo had a quick turnaround and shared our engagement photos within a month. We are thrilled with the results. He captured many candid and fun behind-the-scenes moments. I was nervous that our photos would look staged or forced. (This is our top concern with wedding photography in general.) We don't want our pictures or ourselves to appear artificially constructed. However, Leo provided great guidance, even our posed pictures look natural (excluding the fashion shots as these are purposely posed). Furthermore, Leo's photo editing achieves a natural look. Wedding planning is stressful and overwhelming. Working with Leo has been our favorite vendor experience so far. Incredibly smooth and delightful; it's like hanging out with an old friend. As a photographer, Leo's vision and talents are superb. You're not going to get run-of-the-mill pictures. Leo's shots are stunning, artistic, and a beautifully intimate glimpse into the couple's love story. We cannot wait to have Leo work his magic at our wedding, the most magical day of our lives. read more

I looked and communicated with around 4-5 photographers before deciding on Leo. I chose Leo because I liked his portfolio and photo editing style the best. He had the most artistic flair and it looked like he put in time/work into the post-production of the photos. He was extremely responsive via email. This was crucial since I was planning a California wedding from New York. He was open to negotiating and made sure to work within my budget. For 8 hours of photo coverage it cost me a little over $4k. He has lots of videos and useful tips on his blog. Leo is the sweetest and friendliest guy! He photographed both my Vietnamese tea ceremony and my American-style ceremony and reception. He is soft-spoken, professional and was on-time for all events. I appreciated that he knew it was hot outdoors and that I didn't want my bridesmaid and myself to melt for the sake of a good photo. So instead, he had us take pictures in the shade which allowed for us to stay cool while taking advantage of the picturesque outdoor elements. He is versatile and can do different style photos as you can see from his portfolio. I wanted a more muted and matte tone to the photos and he executed that well. I only had him shoot photos for my wedding but you have the option of paying $500 for a second photographer to join him. I also had him for my instant photos that I took during cocktail hour. Instant photos is common in many Asian wedding and is when guests get to take a photo with a stationed bride and groom and get to have their photo printed immediately. The first few photos were a little slow so guests had to walk away and get their photo later. An hour was a little short for us to get photos with all of our guests but we did the best that we could. My aunt thought that the instant photo should have been taken a little closer up but I kind of liked that it was taken further back so you could see the full body and a bit of the nice decor in the background. I didn't give a list or instruction on what photos I wanted so I feared that photos of things like food, table decor, dessert table, etc. weren't taken but Leo took care of all of that. read more

This review is long overdue!! We booked Leo for our engagement shoot and our wedding. Almost one year later I still feel overwhelmingly happy looking at the photos we took because Leo and his team did such a great job capturing happiest moments! When we first met Leo at our consultation to get to know each other, he asked me why I would like him to photograph our wedding. For me, his portfolio stood out because I could feel the emotions of his subjects come through in his photos. He also has a great artistic eye for some really special artistic shots. My husband and I were nervous for our engagement shoot because we aren't used to being the center of attention. However, Leo was able to give us enough directions while letting us be ourselves and put us at ease. During the engagement shoot he gave us a reassuring "oh I can tell you two will be easy to photograph at the wedding!" which was a great confidence boost! For our wedding day, Leo, his adorable wife Kelly, and his associate Michael did a fantastic job working with our packed full day schedule and our 200+ family members and guests! They were very courteous and patient. A guest had even spilled red wine down the front of my gown right before our sparkler send off and when I asked Leo what I could do, he told me to just hold the front of my gown to cover up the stain - so he is experienced to tackle any obstacle! Our package included the wedding album and canvas print out so we could proudly display our favorite moments shot by Leo and his team, but it was so hard narrowing down our favorite shots. My husband and I have received so many compliments from our family, friends and coworkers about how great our photos turned out. We are so grateful to have Leo as part of our wedding team on our special day! Thank you Leo!! read more

Leo and one of his associate photographers shot my husband and I's wedding in July 2021. His photography skills and services are excellent. He always responds to emails promptly and was flexible leading up to the big day with my venue's ever changing guidelines due to COVID. On the day of the wedding, my husband and I were so impressed with his swift creativity and direction. Basically, he knows what he's doing!! He shared many previews a couple weeks after and I just couldn't believe it - he captured everything so well that they looked like they were straight out of Pinterest. Additionally, he delivered the full set of photos well ahead of the date stated in our contract! Needless to say all of the photos were absolutely beautiful. When it came to selecting photos for a physical album and other prints, the process was easy and straightforward. They were also delivered in a reasonable timeline and are of high quality. From planning, to the day of, to post-production, it was a pleasure to work with Leo! read more

Early in the research phase for our wedding, we came across Leo on Yelp. Based on our set list of requirements, we pulled the trigger and booked Leo for our engagement and wedding photos. Little did we know, choosing Leo would be one of the best decisions of our lives. Leo was very accommodating and helpful during both sessions. Being naturally awkward on camera, we felt at ease with Leo's guidance. We made the best of two very different settings, pouring rain and scorching heat, and ended up with two sets of amazing photos. He was prompt with his communications and has an eye for capturing "the" moment. We highly recommend Leo and his team for anyone looking for a careful and thorough photographer. read more

Yayy Leo and team! My husband and I really loved Leo's eye for taking beautiful candid photos and portraits. We chose him because he had taken wedding photos at our venue before (and we liked the ones we saw from there). Our engagement shoot was SO MUCH FUN. We went to a park and beach in Santa Cruz, a first for all of us. We had a lot of laughs when the wave came crashing in.... and swept all of our stuff into the ocean... but luckily Leo's camera bag was saved by his quick hands! Lol Our wedding photos came out beautifully!! He is truly a master of finding the right background and best lighting and everything! We loved them all so much, we got hi-res for all of them because we couldn't choose a handful. :) The ONLY thing that we wished we got from our wedding photos was a portrait photo of us 2. We took a mini-photo shoot after the portraits, but there is no picture of just us 2 standing on the stairs and smiling. We have some lovely candids that we ended up blowing up and a photo from the couple shoot, but I can't help but wish we had a nice portrait-y portrait to put up at home. But that's fine - we got plenty of great ones from our engagement shoot. Overall, Leo and his crew are GREAT! They work with you to get the shots you want and he does a stellar job editing the shots to get that beautiful and stunning lighting to make it a masterpiece. OH! Leo is also super great at responding to emails! I think this is really important to mention because since wedding planning is already so stressful, it's great to have a vendor that you're not worrying about. A few of our vendors took days to respond and that was sometimes really stressful. But Leo was always prompt and super kind (even with my most panicked emails!)! Thank you, Leo!! :) read more

We booked Leo Pham and his amazing team for our wedding on 6/11/16...let me tell, you will not regret booking Leo for your big day! Not only is his team AMAZING to work with (our wedding was just less than a week ago and we already have our ceremony shots!) Not to mention, he had sneak peaks for us THE VERY NEXT DAY! How awesome is that? Leo and his team also kept us on schedule and were very patient with us and awesome at directing the shots (because you know, in our daily lives we aren't models :). On top of that, every request we had (can we try this photo from Pinterest? Can we take pictures with sparklers?..can we do a champagne showers shot?!) Leo was GAME ON and super accommodating. I always knew that wedding photography would be one of the best things I invested in for our wedding..but with Leo, this investment was priceless. As you can see from the pictures, his work is flawless and captures the emotion perfectly. You will not regret booking with Leo..and for the budget savvy brides..I did a LOT of research when it came to finding the best photographer we could afford and let me tell you..BOOK LEO NOW before he wises up and steps up on the $$ game. He is SOOOO affordable, and not just by bay area standards. He really is at the top of his game in the photography world! We are so thankful to have Leo and his team as part of our special day. read more

Leo and Kelly were amazing to work with. We knew we wanted to take photos with our 12-year-old border collie before our wedding. Leo and Kelly worked with us to identify locations and help get some truly incredible shots (see some of samples). They are framed around our apartment and will be treasured for years to come. Thank you both for your professionalism, humor, and skill in capturing these photos. We are so glad to have them and highly recommend Leo and his team. read more

Our wedding photographer was the first vendor I booked. I wanted an experienced photographer within a reasonable budget. When we met Leo (and his sweet wife), his approach to getting to know us was genuine, without any strings attached or sales approaches....it was really about good fit. And we left the meeting knowing that we trusted him to capture our day. He is an artist and truly passionate about his work and excited to be creative. He and his wife are a great and professional team, always prompt with responses, reminders, and appointments. Leo is the one vendor I really did not need to "worry" about at all, and that was a great burden off our load. Leo, his wife, and assistant Michael did an amazing job photographing our outdoor colorful earthy wedding and capturing candid moments with family and friends, which was ultimately the best I could have hoped for. read more

I can't say enough good things about Leo and his work. Leo did such an amazing job photographing our wedding! We are so happy with how our photos turned out. His pictures captured the style of our wedding so perfectly and Leo caught so many beautiful candid moments. Also, in case you're in the same boat: Neither my husband nor I were used to having our photographs taken but Leo put us at ease and made us look so natural in the photos. I was particularly worried because I usually end up with one eye closed, squinty eyes, etc but somehow Leo worked magic and for the first time in my life I was happy with how photos of myself turned out. My husband was also a little nervous; he never knew how to "pose" but Leo advised us both on how/where to stand, etc and all of the portraits were absolutely perfect. In sum, I highly recommend Leo and his team for your wedding. read more

Leo is very talented at capturing THE "moment". Leo's professional and prompt responses will put you at ease. If you want to go for a true professional who takes no shortcuts in delivering the best quality, Leo is your guy. Please contact him for weddings, engagements, and event sessions. read more

Let's start off with the basics: Leo takes great photos! He has a great eye for lighting, angles, and our surroundings to create classic shots. We really love our sunset and first look photos outdoors. He also is a very smooth director, getting us to do natural things in order to get us to get specific poses. We especially appreciated working with him throughout the pandemic process. He was patient, communicative, and collaborative as we navigated through false start after false start. I'm hopeful that he will never have to go through this again - but just know that in the worst of times, he was awesome to work with. We will be reaching out to him whenever we need portrait photos. Thanks Leo! read more

To Leo: We wanted to thank you again for being so understanding and helpful, pictures and photo album came out GREAT! Our wedding day was just perfect and it was so nice having you there to document it. It was like you almost not there but somehow you managed to get those great shots. We never felt like we were being chased by a camera! It was very easy to work with you. Thank you again Leo! It has been so great working with you. Those who looking for great wedding photographer: We found Leo by chance after a long hours of web searches and many writings and interviews with different photographers. First we meet with him and explain our situation - he asked the right questions and gave us a great plan. Then we review the plan with our wedding day coordinator and adjust with Leo - his feedbacks were super helpful. He literally oversee the whole wedding. Lots of email in between - super responsive! Wedding day - he executed the plan like he wasn't there. Only time we had interaction with him bride/groom and couple photos which was fun (even for a camera shy person). Rest he was the star. After wedding he followed up with us, send all the required material on time. Even he made sure we received them! I highly recommend him - he has great skills (eye), reasonable prices and very friendly attitude. His style is photo journalistic which is what we were looking for. If you don't like those cliché couple photos, he is the one you should pick! Gozde & Ergin read more

We are so happy that we chose Leo and his team to photograph our wedding! Communication with Leo during the months leading up to the wedding was professional and very prompt. We had specific questions before deciding between photographers and Leo was able to answer them all. Leo helped us set up and organize a photo schedule for our wedding day, ensuring that it was as smooth as possible. He made suggestions for perfect photo opportunities that we had not even considered and are so appreciative of that. Leo made the entire wedding party feel very comfortable and photographed wonderful candid and posed photos of everyone. We received our photos back very quickly and absolutely love them! He event sent us a set of finished photos with our family and friends within 2 days after the wedding so that we could share them with our very eager friends and family! We also had Leo take our engagement photos and it was a great opportunity to meet him. He helped us get comfortable being in front of the camera and we had a great time during the photo session! We love the quality of the photos! We continue to get compliments on how great they turned out. We highly recommend Leo for your upcoming wedding! read more

This review is wayyyyyy overdue, but I have to make sure that people know Leo is one of the most talented photographers around. Not only does he take beautiful pictures but he is a really nice person and makes you feel at ease in front of the camera. His staff and crew were all very professional and kind. Leo is very organized and walked us through documenting our day and schedule prior to the wedding. I have made sure to refer all my friends to him for their weddings. I was so impressed with the pictures we received and he is so worth the investment to have beautiful photographs that will last a lifetime. His style is definitely journalistic, artistic and candid, so be mindful of that if it's not your thing. read more

I booked Leo last-minute for my sister's wedding and Leo was very accommodating of our unique scheduling requests. My sister and her new husband can't stop raving about how wonderful Leo made them feel. Both are awkward in front of a camera, so Leo really took the time to make them comfortable, laugh and teach them how to pose. We haven't seen the end product yet since Leo is finishing up on editing, but my sister and her husband are super excited since they saw his catalog of work and his style fits them perfectly. Thanks, Leo, for capturing the moments of their special day and making them feel phenomenal about the experience! read more

We hired Leo and his team to cover our engagement photos, welcome fiesta the night before our wedding, and our wedding. I searched everywhere (instagram, referrals, yelp, etc.) and finally decided to give craigslist a try since nearly all the other photogs I had come across were not in my budget. As luck would have it, Leo had everything I was looking for: 1.) In our budget $ 2.) Available on our wedding date 3.) Candid/Natural/Un-posed style to his shooting 4.) Someone who could make us feel comfortable behind the camera. After meeting with several photographers over skype because I was only looking for SoCal based photogs at the time, I decided to reach out to Leo knowing he lived in the Bay Area. We met in person and he came with an amazing portfolio that just blew my fiance (at the time) away! Not only that, we got a sense of his true passion for photography and drive to start a thriving photography business on his own. Leo definitely went beyond our expectations and shows how he genuinely cares for his clients through all your interactions with him! We are so grateful to have worked with Leo for our wedding. My only advice for other couples working with him, is to develop a shot list of photos you want Leo and his team to cover. I was so busy the month of, that I didn't make one in advance so I missed some family, friend, and minor detail shots (mostly my fault though for not organizing a list sooner!). Do yourself a favor and hire Leo and stop contemplating other photogs because he will not disappoint!! We're so happy to also call Leo our newest rockstar 'friend-vendor', who we continue to recommend to all our friends getting married! read more

Leo's talent is unparalleled! Leo's very unique style and creative edge made for the most magical wedding photos. It was incredible to see the attention to detail captured in every picture. Leo and his wife, Kelly, are the sweetest, most delightful people to work with and made the whole process stress-free and enjoyable. This team of photographers is my favorite vendor from our wedding and I'll be making any excuse to hire them again! read more

Leo was the perfect photographer for us on our wedding day and we could not be any happier! Leo was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding photographs. It was abundantly clear that he was a true professional from our first interactions with him. There are so many differents photographer in the bay area, but directly Leo caught my eye when I saw these photos on the internet. I'm so happy to have chosen Leo, his photos are true works of art capturing real moments and their emotions. He delivered our photos quickly and even surprised us with teaser images the morning after our wedding which was fabulous and fun to wake up to! I would highly recommend Leo, he's a true professional. read more

We had Leo and his team photograph our recent summer wedding. For me, the photographer was the most important decision. I had no interest in colors and flower arrangements and table settings etc. Sure those things look pretty but they are just temporary. Photographs capture a memory and are forever. I looked a long time for a photographer that shot with the style I was looking for. Leo and his team were professional and punctual, all while capturing beautiful images. The posed photos weren't really our style - we were more interested in the candids - but I'm sure we will laugh at them down the years. We also appreciated some of the detail shots that his assistants took. The wedding day is a blur and pretty much impossible for a single person to get everything on their own. A touch pricy perhaps but not unreasonable especially for the Bay Area and in the end you will be happy with the quality of the images you get. Also Leo was prompt and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process leading up to the wedding. Thanks Leo and your team. read more

If I could give Leo 100 stars I would! He did my boudoir shoot and the photos turned out amazing! I am not one to compliment myself but DAMMNN Leo made me look DAMN sexy (LOL). Because it was my first time doing something like this and he knew I was nervous and didn't know what the hell I was doing, He told me literally exactly what to do - where to look, where to place my fingers and fingertips, how to arch my back properly, what to think about, etc. He made me feel comfortable in my own skin. And let's just say my now husband LOVES the photos... highly recommend doing a boudoir shoot with Leo, you won't regret it. Leo also was my wedding photographer and can't wait to get the pics back!! read more

Leo was our photographer for our wedding and I cannot express how happy we were when we received our photos. Prior to booking, Leo was very professional. We decided on choosing him based on the photos on his instagram. He definitely has an eye for photography and his editing skills are TOP NOTCH. Our photos turned out AMAZING. On the day of, he and his team were on time and captured everything we had asked for in our prior conversations. I'm going to emphasize again, that this man's eye for photography and editing skills made our photos STAND OUT. Thank you Leo (and team) for capturing the best day of our life. We had no regrets in booking him. Do yourself a favor, and contact him now! read more

Leo did my wedding a year ago. I know it took me so long to do a review because I was so busy. Here I am writing about my experience. When I scheduled a consultation Leo was phenomenal at breaking down how the cost goes, asking questions about your expectations and vision on the wedding. I was very pleased with that, but also confused because I didn't understand what some of the questions meant. So, READ HIS BLOG. After I read it, I was able to make better decisions. Take time to study, Leo is really great at informing you about everything! He takes his time to research the place you are going to be on your wedding (venue, lighting, layout, colors, etc.) I planned my wedding in three weeks, so I did not get to do all that much research and homework, so I was not too prepared, which led Leo to work extra on my wedding day. Make sure you schedule time with Leo and the Venue, so he can have time to walk it with you. I didn't do this because I got married so quickly, so he really had a lot to do, but yet HE DID SPECTACULAR! Be flexible with the time schedule, and look at all the details. And if you're going to serve dinner after the photography session, make sure you have appetizers or you give something for them to watch, listen, or do. Helps to have better photography opportunities for Leo and his team. Their professionalism astounded my guests and the photographs speak for themselves. Thank You, Leo! It was all amazing! Can't wait for the next time we hire you. read more

Leo and his team worked with me for my wedding in March 2016. I was trying to book a photographer only a few months in advance, had a budget smaller than what's normally required for a wedding in the Bay Area, and couldn't find a photographer who could meet those two requirements AND whose photos I actually liked. And then I came across Leo and his site, filled with photos that were natural and artistic. To be fully honest, I didn't like every single picture that I saw, but what really appealed to me was that I could see his photos getting better and better with each event he shot. I contacted him, and was super relieved to see that his fee was right around my budget. Leo and I met over FaceTime shortly before the wedding where we finalized all the details I had been sending him over email. He was very thorough and asked a lot of questions, which I appreciated. We were having 350+ people at our wedding, and a big part of the photography I wanted was someone who could take large group shots (50+) also. Which surprised him, but was totally willing to try (: Another thing we talked about was that there was rain forecasted for the wedding day. We talked about what our plans and options were and he assured me that it would be ok. Day-of: Leo shows up early with his team, which I was not expecting. I thought he was just bringing a second shooter, but he brought a team which was such a huge help. It did end up raining that day and so we went ahead with our plan B which was to try to shoot more interior shots at the UC Berkeley campus. The day was a whirlwind, but all I can say was that Leo and the guys were incredibly professional, willing to do anything, had a great attitude in the rain, worked hard, were patient, and were all smiles throughout. Post: Leo got me a preview slideshow THAT night after the reception. I was really touched by his dedication and throughout the next week, I got to see my wedding unfold through the different albums he started to upload into the gallery. It was special to be able to show my family (who we were visiting on our honeymoon and couldn't come to the wedding itself) photos so quickly. I was so thankful. Within a couple weeks, he had finished the photos and the gallery was done. What an amazing turnaround time (although I guess if he starts to book more and more weddings, this might not happen as fast!) I would highly recommend Leo. He's thoughtful and careful, able to use the environment and whatever is around him, to capture beautiful shots. I expect he'll get more and more popular soon! read more

Leo is absolutely amazing! We hired him for both our engagement and the wedding. He's extremely professional but very fun. Both are such important qualities because you really have to feel comfortable in front of your photographer in order for him to capture a natural look. He's such a great photographer and really has an eye for taking beautiful photos. If I had to describe his style, I would say that it's modern, soft, natural, and romantic. Go on his website and check out his previous work. And don't worry, he's not just posting his best ones and hiding the ugly ones, Leo doesn't take bad photos, all his pictures come out great like that. Trust me you will not regret hiring him. My advice is to hire him NOW before he increases his fees and his schedule books up! read more

Leo and his team are absolutely incredible! Our first meeting was over Skype. Right after we talked, my husband and I were sure we wanted to book him. He was professional, organized, and super friendly. The schedule he suggested was perfect and his experience clearly showed through his advice and approach. He puts maximum effort into getting the right shots, yet will never be obtrusive during the wedding (unless it is time dedicated to photos). My husband and I were extremely impressed with Leo and his team throughout the day of the wedding. They were so on top of everything and even had in-ear radios to coordinate with each other to get amazing shots and cover all parts of the wedding. We were so happy with him and his team and felt that they were such genuine and passionate people that we did a big group hug at the end of the night to celebrate the success of the day! There were no problems or difficulties and afterwards, he finished our photos in record time! I love the natural tones and style of the photos he shoots, I absolutely could not be happier with the results. I know we will cherish the photos for the rest of our lives. Whenever we reflect back on our wedding, my husband and I remark on how lucky we were to find Leo (seriously, we've commented on this numerous times in the last 6 months since our wedding). He is truly caring, extremely competent, and genuinely passionate about photography. We can't recommend him enough to anyone looking for an amazing photographer! read more

Leo Pham is an amazing photographer and we are honored to have worked with him as our engagement photographer. We took Leo with us on a three day engagement photo shoot / road trip from northern California to Death Valley. He captured everything, from beginning to end, and produced an amazing album containing incredible photos of landscape, delicate moments, and of course the actual photo shoot in the desert across a variety of backgrounds. Sunrise on open desert, salt basins in the merciless heat of mid-day sun, and sunset on the sand dunes, were all used effectively to create our dream photo shoot that lasted all day. Unlike other photographers we had contacted who generally limited their shooting to a few hours, Leo was willing to shoot at all hours in order to get the job done, fulfilling our vision and exceeding expectations. And I mean all hours - he even set up a night time shoot in the pitch black desert on a moonless night using some rather creative lighting trickery. After our trip was over, we expected a long turn around time given the sheer number of photos taken. Much to our surprise, Leo post processed and edited the photos with a very quick turn around time and we had our final product earlier than expected. We also had considerably more finished photos (over 530!) than expected. Whether your goal is to have a traditional photo shoot lasting several hours in more urban environments or something along the road less traveled, Leo is your man. I cannot recommend him enough (and I have been recommending him to my friends). Give Leo a call - your search for the best photographer ends here. read more

Leo is absolutely amazing! He is very organized, detail-oriented and super easy to work with. He has a great eye for composition which reflected in all the precious moments he captured. We knew Leo from his work for our friends' wedding and were very impressed by his work. Naturally, he was our #1 choice for our wedding and he was phenomenal! He got to our hotel earlier and had tons of great shooting ideas, and knew the exact moments that are important for us. Working with Leo is definitely one of the best experiences we've had. High Recommended!!! read more

We had Leo take our family photos for our Christmas card. It was a mini 30 minute outdoor photo session. We loved how our photos came out. We had a hard time deciding how many photos we actually wanted to buy, because we liked so many. He is very prompt a replying to emails! read more

LEO is amazing!!!! His correspondence t us was always professional and his work is great! While shooting our wedding, we knew it was his passion as it exudes out of him. He didn't care that it was 100 degrees outside, he worked in the heat to give us the best photos, EVER. Thank you so much Leo! We are so pleased with him that we have referred friends and family-- and so far 2 friends have booked him and loved him! :) Thanks a million read more

UNBELIEVABLE WORK!! Look no further if you are looking for a professional photographer for a special event; Leo Pham is your choice. We were blessed to have been recommended to Leo from MULTIPLE friends who have worked with him, and were also extremely happy with his work. Leo was our photographer for our wedding, and he was extremely professional, responsive, and creative. Leo and his team were unbelievably thorough on the day of the wedding, making sure to photograph everything that happened, down to every small detail. When we finally saw the pictures, we were immediately taken back to our special day. He has an amazing eye, and is extremely creative. We have already recommended him to many other couples who are getting married! read more

Thank you SO much Leo! You were absolutely amazing to work with and the photos are beyond beautiful.

Leo photographed our same sex wedding in September in Sonoma. We consulted briefly about our vision, and he brought it to life perfectly. Not only were the photos exactly in the style we wanted, they were beautiful. We asked him to focus on natural photos, and most of our guests didn't even notice they were there. HIGHLY recommend. read more

Working with Leo and his Team (Eric and Tien) was such a pleasure! My husband and I hardly noticed the amazing team of three throughout the whole wedding day yet they were right there with us capturing every moment! I chose Leo over other photographers for his style of photography, professionalism, and personality. Check out his website! His work speaks for itself. When we met Leo we were immediately impressed. He was PREPARED. Leo was on time, dressed in casual business attire, and he even brought along Eric who would assist him the day of the wedding so that we could meet him. I appreciated that! Leo also brought examples of photo albums he had put together in the past. We immediately knew that we wanted Leo for our big day so we booked him THAT SAME DAY months in advance. Leo even contacted me the day of our wedding ONE YEAR OUT and mentioned how beautiful the sunset was and how I should add that to my timeline. With how busy a photographers schedule could get it made me feel important for him to remember our wedding day! The team is so much fun to work with! I was laughing so much when I saw they took a few goofy photos at or photobooth and added it in our photobooth memory book with all of our other guests. We absolutely love all our photos! THANK YOU LEO AND TEAM!! read more
