My now husband and I went to a bridal show where we were looking for different vendors and to experience the whole "wedding planning" process. I wasn't sure what to expect but then we met Randy! Instantly, we both loved his photo's and wanted to book him. Thank goodness we did! He was fantastic, from the engagement photo's we took to the day of the wedding. Once you begin talking to him you realize how passionate and knowledgeable he is about photography but also his passion for life. On the day of the wedding, him and his team came in told us briefly what they were going to do and from there took care of everything! I couldn't have asked for anything more.

We were going to go with another photographer but a friend of ours referred us to Toan, and we were…read moreso happy we went with him. After seeing his profile, we knew that we wanted him to capture our big day. He was professional and responded to emails quickly. He was also very fun to work with too. All my families and bridal and groomsmen parties had amazing experience with him. We are generally camera shy but his upbeat energy made us so comfortable. He guided us on exactly how and where to pose for photos. He was so nice, funny, and patient. Toan made sure that not only did we have time for photos with family, friends, and bridal/groomsen, but also time for the couple photos too. His expertise and professionalism made such a positive impact on our wedding experience. We ended up going for 2 photographers and his price for 2 photographers was very reasonable. His assistance Hai also did amazing work. We were so happy we made this decision for 2 photographers. We only had 2 hours for photos with our parties before ceremony time and having 2 photographers made a HUGE difference as one could focus on the bride and bridesmaid and the other on the groom and groomsmen. Thank you again Toan and Hai for your incredible work in capturing one of the most important days of our life on June 28, 2026. You both captured special moments throughout our wedding that now we can look back and relive them. I highly recommend ToanVen and his team for photography service, you will not regret it.

I am so glad I hired Adam for my surprise proposal to my girlfriend. Living in SoCal and having…read morenever been to Monterey/Big Sur, I planned my whole proposal based on google searches, reddit threads, and word of mouth. Being a Big Sur/Monterey local, Adam provided extremely helpful insight and feedback for my proposal. He definitely helped relieve a lot of the stress during the planning phase of my proposal. On the day of the actual shoot, the day-of jitters was overwhelming at times, but Adam's energy and demeanor was very centering. He was patient and gave my new fiancee and I space to calm ourselves, and also knew when to take charge and guide us with our poses. He also had amazing and creative ideas for how to pose and brought us to local, reclusive spots to take intimate photos. Best of all, Adam always had a smile on his face and he made us really think like we were supermodels walking the runway haha. If you're going to do any photoshoot, especially a proposal or engagement shoot, in the Big Sur/Monterey area, I would highly recommend getting Adam!!

Coming from Sacramento, I had no clue where to pull off the surprise, but Lorinda had the answers for everything.

Thank you again Lorinda for everything, 5/5 is an understatement.
