I really appreciated that they had a separate room for changing clothes and baby diaper changes, which made everything so much more comfortable and convenient. They had beautiful backgrounds and so many fun props for my baby to play with. We also added on the sibling option, and both of my kids had such a great time during the session. Ted was incredibly patient with my kids and managed to capture so many sweet and adorable moments naturally. The final photos turned out absolutely beautiful and dreamy, I couldn't be happier with them! Overall, it was such a wonderful experience, and I would definitely come back again for another photoshoot in the future.

We decided to do a cake smash Photoshoot for our baby's 1 year birthday. After seeing the many cute…read morecake smash backgrounds that Tangram Studio had, we decided to book with them! Ted was very responsive and we were able to book an appointment for the following week (we took a day off in the middle of the week). We also decided to do the add on for family and pets. I LOVE that there's an option to include our furry family members! As much as I tried to plan ahead and get to the studio in time that day, my baby decided to fight his nap that morning. He eventually fell asleep.. but way too close to the time we had to leave. I reached out to Ted ASAP to ask if there was flexibility to push the photoshoot back a bit so my baby could take an hour nap so he's less likely to be fussy during the photoshoot. He had another scheduled shoot after ours but was flexible for us to come a bit later than scheduled which I was very grateful for! When we got to the studio, the cake smash background was already set up! The studio was so clean! There was a room for us to change the baby and put all our stuff in - there was also a changing table and diaper pail in there! Ted and his assistant were so great with our dogs and baby! They were patient and knew how to get our baby to laugh and look at the camera. There were a few times where I was ready to give up because handling a baby and two dogs for a photoshoot was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be! Ted was so patient with them and continuing to try his best to take the perfect shot for us. I really appreciated that because there were some amazing photos we would have missed out on if not for Ted! Cleanup was super easy - we brought wipes to wipe our baby down and then took him to the bathroom to do a quick rinse before leaving. I was surprised that we got our proof gallery two days later! The unedited proof gallery pictures were honestly high quality and I would not have known they were unedited if they didn't tell me! We received our edited photos 2 weeks later. I was so happy with the fast turnaround time! I asked Ted if he could fix my hair in the family pictures and he was able to do so for me (thank you!!). I'd absolutely come back for another photoshoot in the future and would highly recommend Tangram!

Nupur is awesome! I came to know about her though a close friend who had recently done her…read morematernity shoot with Polka Dots Photography. To start with, she was very accommodating with our needs, travel time, pricing and just overall flexible around schedule and setting up the shoot. We discussed ideas before the shoot and had numerous message exchange for different poses, styling, hair and makeup. She also drove all the way to Santa Clara for shooting at the spot we picked, which was very generous of her. There are a couple things that are critical for a photoshoot especially one involving a small puppy - comfort, ideas, familiarity and patience. Nupur is exceptional in all these aspects! She also has a great personality which helped us have fun during the shoot instead of 'posing' to get the right angle and expression. My husband is bit camera shy and our small dog is difficult to manage but when we saw the final photographs they were nothing short of magic. We had our pick of 7 amongst the numerous marvelous shots she captured, but she went ahead and provided us few extras which was an awesome gesture. We can't thank her enough for capturing all these precious moments with our furry child and new guest due to arrive soon :)

BOOK HER NOW…read more Oh my god. Nupur is not only an amazing photographer behind the camera, but she is also an incredibly sweet and respectful person without the camera. Since the first moment I contacted her, she has been super tentative, responsive, and patient with all my questions and input. I wanted to try something new and different that I hadn't seen in her portfolio before and she was not only game but was extremely excited and kind about everything. Even before the shoot, we talked on the phone to discuss themes, we texted about different angles, lighting, mood, locations, and wardrobe. I have had many photo shoots (engagement, wedding, individual/family/professional portraits etc) with different photographers, and Nurpur is BY FAR the best in collaboration. We never felt like our ideas were sub par, in fact, every pose or photo that I had selected for inspiration, we actually worked to recreate each look in our own way! We basically fed off each other's creativity and ideas and turn a commercial event into stunning photographic art! She was never pushy and always listening to understand what we wanted and worked VERY hard to get us nothing short of perfection. She's so talented at capturing the types and kinds of photos we wanted that even the unedited, straight off the camera pictures with the silhouetted looks were near perfect! I am just beyond ecstatic with our experience and seriously COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR MORE. The final photos were just jaw dropping and they are exactly as I had imagined and hoped for them to be. We are so grateful and thankful we found Nurpur to help us document this next chapter in our lives. Helped me feel beautiful and gorgeous in this scary, new, stage of pregnancy. And most of all, helped me capture a truly personal and unique set of photos that represent the multiple aspects of my cultural identities.

We were really lucky to be able to book the studio and everything since the contract was signed was butter smooth, professional, 'dreamy' as my wife would call it - It was our BEST call during the wedding process and how fortunate we were to have them capture the most precious moments in our lives in a such pleasant, delicate way. During the preparation of our pre-wedding shooting, we were offered plenty options to shoot across the bay area. There was no rush in decision making and Ammy was so careful to discuss with us the theme of our pre-wed to match our ceremony as well as the stories of us getting together. We were discussing these details on daily basis ahead of the shooting and when we decided the two day itinerary, she went further to help us pick the outfit - I still remember the day when were ready for shooting, my hair was not really properly done and her team helped me redo my hair which is obviously not their duty. Ken drove us that day to highway 1 on day one and it was a whole day full of professional shooting and recording of great time - I almost felt like we are on a road trip full of romance and Ken was there to capture who we really are, with sincere emotions in the pictures so story-telling and loving. And there was also the short movie shooting that they centered around our stories and the film was so precisely executed with all the emotions and presentations we intended. Everyone on the wedding day was touched by the film and I couldn't thank them enough. After the pre-wed shooting, we were very close to the studio team and grew even more confident of the wedding day. My wife was getting more nervous of all the wedding planing and if there was one thing reassuring to her, it was the studio would make the wedding look absolutely fabulous - And she was RIGHT. On the wedding day, there were a crew of more than five people from the studio, it was more than two hour drive from their office to the venue and they were there by 9am. The sun came out and our big day shooting went on like a dream, we went to the beach to capture so many great pictures as the time allows. The film team was also there and even brought a drone to get some cinematic touch to the professionalism we enjoyed from the start. Right before the ceremony started, I didn't even notice but they were at all angles capturing everything. I was amazed how many awesome shots we got from the ceremony and every picture was so natural and full of the late August sunshine. In the catering session, our guests admired greatly on the pre-wed photos we presented in the hall and of course the pre-wed film that were magical. After our wedding, the studio worked with us on picking the photos from the wedding for re-touching - The techniques of the crew were top notch and fast in response to our needs. We received all the digital copy of the pictures on time and we shared them with all of our family and friends with waves of complements and blessings flowing in. Till this day after a year and half, we still get friends asking where we get our shoots done - This is why I had to write this review here and let them know where to look for them. Look no further if you look for studios in the bay area for photoshoots of any significant occasions. Vidd studio is simply the BEST!

We were looking for a great photographer who wouldn't break our wedding budget. Since we were…read moreliving apart at the time, my wife found them online and decided to give vid studio a shot. After the first meeting, we were hooked! Kenny and Ammy were very willing to meet with us for as long and often as needed to make us feel comfortable with what we wanted and what we were getting. Before our each shoot, they were willing to take the time to make sure we would be as well prepared and well dressed as possible. They are also very enthusiastic about their work, and their cheerfulness is infectious. The staff at VID studio are all very professional. They have all different kinds of cameras, stands, and photo/video accessory for every kind of shot. A city-wide video shoot with them will make you feel like you're filming a professional commercial or movie. Kenny, Ammy, and the rest of the crew are all perfectionists. They will do everything in their power to make every picture and every scene perfect, whether it be taking extra shots just in case the next one comes out even better, working extremely long days, or even extra days to get everything right. My wife is incredibly picky about photos and video, and they almost always managed to please her. If she wasn't 100% satisfied, they would do whatever it took to get her there. Of course that means that we also spent a LOT of time in front of the camera, but it was well worth it. Ammy does a wonderful job with makeup and hair. My wife can be extremely picky about this, but she always comes back from the mirror glowing after being prepped by Ammy. Kenny is a wonderful photographer who cares less about poses and more about what his clients are doing, what's happening around them, and how they interact with their surroundings. He's really great at using the settings of his shots to their full potential. Like Kenny, video director Shun is very flexible. While they always come up with a general script for shots, he's always looking to see how he can use what he has to make it the best it can be. The same can be said for the rest of the crew as well. We and everybody we know have been extremely happy and impressed with their results for our engagement photos/video and we can't wait to see how our wedding photos and video turned out!

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.

Her talent behind the camera is undeniable--she has an incredible eye for detail, light, and composition. Whether it's a chaotic family gathering or a quiet newborn shoot, she brings calm & patience. Somehow, she always manages to capture the essence of who we are as a family--those authentic, fleeting moments that are more precious than any posed shot could ever be. Her finished photos are consistently stunning--thoughtfully edited and timeless. We're so grateful to have found her! If you're lucky enough to work with her, you'll understand exactly what I mean.

She was very patient with our son even though he got quite fussy during the shoot, particularly during the actual cake smash part. So far, the raw photos we have received back look pretty good with a decent variety of photos to choose from. Looking forward to seeing the final products! UPDATE: the final gallery was awesome! Would definitely recommend Ozlem.

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.

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!!
