She's patient and knows exactly when to pause, creating a calm and enjoyable experience. Samantha works so well with kids that my daughter often asks, "When are we going to see Miss Sam again?"

She showed up with very short notice and gave us the most amazing photos. She is the sweetest and most down to earth woman you will ever meet. She treats you like family from the moment you meet her.

I would recommend her to anyone looking for quality work.

I had to book a last-minute family photoshoot to capture precious moments with family who are…read morerarely in town, and I'm so glad I found Dave and his partner, Florence! From the very beginning, they were fantastic communicators, helping me with everything from choosing the location to discussing the overall style of the shoot. On the day of the session, they were warm, funny, and made everyone feel completely at ease. They were the perfect team to capture our family's memories. It was especially helpful that they spoke both Cantonese and Mandarin, which made communicating with my parents-in-law so much easier. Even more impressively, they somehow managed to get my cranky 9-month-old engaged and smiling throughout the session! And of course, the photos were absolutely stunning. The perfect finishing touch to an already wonderful experience. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and will definitely be booking Dave and Florence again. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented photographers who truly know how to make the experience enjoyable for the whole family.

From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable. Dave has a great eye for lighting, composition, and detail, but what impressed me most was his ability to make the session feel natural and relaxed. He takes the time to understand what you are looking for and provides excellent direction without making the process feel overly staged. The quality of the final photographs exceeded my expectations. They were polished, professional, natural, and beautifully captured. If you are looking for a photographer who combines technical expertise, creativity, professionalism, and exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Dave Yip Photography. A truly first class experience from beginning to end. Five stars!

There truly aren't enough words to express how grateful I am for my stylist and the incredible experience she gave me while shopping for my wedding dress. From the very beginning, she made me feel seen, heard, and so cared for. She took the time to genuinely listen to everything I envisioned for my wedding dress and understood exactly what I was looking for, even when I struggled to put it into words. Her kindness, patience, and encouragement made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel so special and effortless. She celebrated every moment with me, offered thoughtful guidance, and helped me see the beauty in each dress while keeping my vision at the heart of the experience. It never felt like she was simply doing her job--she truly cared about helping me find the dress that would make me feel like the best version of myself on one of the most important days of my life. The moment I found my dress was one I will cherish forever, and she played such a meaningful role in making that moment happen. I walked away not only with my dream dress, but with memories I will treasure for a lifetime. Thank you for your warmth, support, and genuine care. You made this once-in-a-lifetime experience even more magical than I ever imagined, and I will forever be grateful. Best, Nicole

He was more than happy to work with us and gave us a lot of confidence that he was the right pick. Kevin was friendly and flexible throughout the entire process.

Easy going, friendly, and a damn good photographer! When taking photos Kevin really captured us, and that's what we wanted. We were able to get a sneak peek at some of the pictures and we are thankful that we will have these beautiful pics to remind us of that special day. Thank you Kevin for capturing our special day and being a part of it!

When we initially began searching for vendors for our wedding, I came across Holding & Co Photography here on WeddingWire. As I continued my search, I kept comparing every other photographer's pictures to the images captured by Julia and Kevin. I knew that I would not be happy if we settled with anyone else, and I'm glad I listened to my gut! Julia and Kevin have an innate ability to capture beauty, light, and emotion with their cameras in such an artistic way that it's as if every picture could be printed in a magazine. I have gotten so many people telling me that our photos are the best wedding photos they've ever seen. Not only are Kevin and Julia true artists, but they are incredible people as well. With COVID and CA wildfires, not only was our original wedding plan changed, but our second, third, and fourth plans were as well. The Holdings were there for us through every obstacle that came in our way with supportive words and promises that they would make it work no matter where we got married. Choosing Holding & Co Photography was the #1 best decision that we made regarding our wedding. The images that Julia and Kevin captured on our wedding day and our subsequent post-wedding adventure shoot will be with us for our lifetimes and will always remind of us the incredible people who were there to make our day memorable. You will not be disappointed in hiring them to document your day.

This was the second time doing our engagement photos as we shot them first in Hawaii, and it's telling that the only photo we liked was a silhouette. Jamie is patient and made us feel comfortable (which is hard to do) and our photos came out great (not the easiest job as we we are not photogenic). We love his approach to photography and did a great job capturing us in moments that looked natural and not fake-posed. If I could give six stars here, I would. Top of the line.

A Truly Exceptional Photographer -- Jamie Lee We had the…read moreabsolute pleasure of working with Jamie Lee for both our Catholic wedding ceremony and our secular ceremony plus reception the next day. We could not be more grateful for the experience he gave us. From the very beginning, Jamie made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, something neither of us expected being. His friendly, calm presence set the tone for the entire day, and we never once felt rushed or overly posed. Everything felt natural, effortless, and genuinely "us." Jamie has an incredible eye for capturing moments that are not only beautiful and meaningful but artistically composed. He combines technical expertise with thoughtful preparation, ensuring he captures the best possible shots in any setting, indoors or out while never compromising our comfort and making sure we simply enjoy the experience of the day(s). He has this remarkable ability to blend into the background while still catching every important detail and in a beautiful, photogenic way. He was flexible, extremely punctual, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. His turnaround time on editing and delivering our gallery was impressively fast, yet he never sacrificed quality. We were especially grateful for how respectful and mindful he was of the church and its religious boundaries. He navigated everything with such professionalism, patience, and care. Even after a long day, his attitude never wavered. He remained positive, helpful, and fully committed to getting the perfect shot. Jamie never felt invasive or overstepping; instead, he felt like a trusted partner who truly understood our vision. He worked so seamlessly with us and our families (and dog too!) that it felt like he had been part of our journey all along. We cannot wait to continue working with him in the future. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, kind, reliable, and genuinely invested in making your most important moments unforgettable, Jamie Lee is the one.

From the beginning, Emil was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. Neither of us is particularly used to being in front of the camera, but he made the experience comfortable and natural. On our wedding day, he did a wonderful job capturing not only the important moments, but also so many candid shots of our family and friends genuinely enjoying themselves. Looking through the finished gallery and seeing how happy everyone looked brought back so many great memories from the day. We also really appreciated how accommodating Emil was with the specific photos and ideas we wanted to capture, while still using his own experience and creativity throughout the day. We ended up with so many beautiful photos that we'll be able to look back on for years to come. We're very grateful to Emil for helping us document such an important time in our lives and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding or special event. Thank you again, Emil!

He was very helpful on how to pose and gave us great tips and guidance. Even went out of his ways to help us find a great location from the chapel to have different views of backgrounds. Everyone was extremely happy already with his work and then pictures came so fast and every single one was amazing. So yes I highly recomend him, found loyal clients with us thanks Emily. Can't really post any face pictures out of respect for my brother but will post some of the others he took time in detail.
