Thien is one of the best portrait photographers in California, and maybe the world. I'm a professional portrait photographer as well, and I've been following Thien's work for awhile because I aspire to his level of quality - when I decided it was time for new portraits for my own company website, I knew right away he'd be the one to take them. He was very accommodating and friendly, working within my schedule. He earned every penny of his fee. I'm not used to being in front of the camera (that's part of the reason I ended up a photographer myself, lol), but he made it very easy for me and the entire process was painless and fun. He did all the things I try to do as a photographer to help my clients have a good session. I highly recommend him! read more

Last Sunday, my fiancé and I had the pleasure of having Thien shoot a 2 hour engagement session in one of our local favorite spots. He gives thorough instructions and makes us feel comfortable as it was our first time getting photographed professionally. It was quite an experience, we had a blast! Even before the initial meeting, Thien had always been available and quick to respond to all of our questions via email, text, and call. I was very pleased to have a great line of communication with him. I can assure you, this man is passionate about photography! It seems that he had been selecting, editing, and working on the pictures as soon as he gets home. We were able to view our proofs in less than a day! It blew my mind, the pictures came out beautiful even before the edits. Now, in just 4 days, we were able to view and download all the edited images. This guy is incredible! I highly recommend TTT Photography. We're very pleased with the final results and we can't wait to have more of our engagement photos and the anticipated day of the wedding captured by Thien. Make sure to view more of his beautiful work on http://tttphotography.com/, Facebook, and Instagram page! :) read more

I got pretty lucky when planning my wedding. I set out to plan a wedding that was "us" rather than going down a list of to dos: find a dress, rings, boring typical banquet hall, photographer or anything "mundane." Most of all, I set out to find vendors who loved what they did so that as detailed oriented as I am aka controlling, I let them handle everything and they went above and beyond. Being in Los Angeles, there are a plethora of photographers to choose from. With Thien, he does more than what is necessary. That's what sets my vendors apart and him. My vendors were all top notch, they all adored each other and couldn't stop raving about how professional each one was. Even my venue said it was the best group they worked with and wished each wedding event was like ours. To this day, my DJ continues to rave about my photographer, six months after to all his new bookings. I know those who regret a lot about their weddings. You can skimp out on a lot of things for the wedding, but photos are not one of them. I know couples who regretted not booking Thien in the first place. And to be honest, I think Thien's work ethic does not equate to how much he deserves to get paid. He's with you from start to finish, you get sneak peaks of professional photos within 48 hours and most of the photos by week 6. I know couples who STILL HAVEN'T gotten their photos months later. It's not about skimping out when it comes to wedding services. You can still pay a fortune and not get the services you deem appropriate for said prices. It's about finding vendors who enjoy what they're doing. Thien loves what he's doing and it shows. Imagine the wedding is over and having to hunt down your vendors for photos? It happens all the time, believe it or not and then your magical day just becomes a nightmare months later. I love my wedding. I'm glad I have the memories and photos, even more so that it was posted by Thien the day after rather than months later. read more

When writing these words, I am still living in heaven and all of the good memories from my destination wedding in LA. And Thien gave us all awesome memories. My wedding just past, on Sunday, 21 January 2018. I don't even know how I found Thien after a long tiring looking for a photographer who is willing to work with my budget. I think I remember found him through Yelp and then I went on to his website to check out his photo style, then I discussed with my friend about him and my friend recommended me to contact him. SO I did. And I am so GLAD that I have overcome my hesitation to talk to him. He was so easy to talk with and I was impressed that he was really friendly to me. He answered all questions I asked without attitude at all. Thien is not only professional about his photography skills but also his customer service. He is always above and beyond, from my engagement session to my wedding. He is super nice and friendly. He also has an amazing assistant who is his sister. They both are really nice, always go above and beyond. My husband and I were also glad that we decided to go for an engagement session. He definitely knows a lot of beautiful places and good views around LA to take pictures of. He is extremely patient, and he makes sure everyone is comfortable around him. He is very friendly to our family members who want extra extra photo shoots with us. He is a talent. I am very lucky finding him. And I still feel that I am so blessed to know him. He did a slideshow for my wedding and it turned out so well. I totally melted in that moment. I can't thank him enough for his great awesome job. He is so good from his right hand job to his left hand job. I really appreciate his hard work has done for us. From that moment, I am more grateful to every single picture he made for us. I recommend to hire him for any of your event. If you have a wedding, I recommend to book with the engagement package. You will never go wrong with this talented and creative gentleman. I love him and love his work a lot!!! read more

A. Thien was very professional and so open to us from the start! He was referred to us by a friend who booked him for their wedding.

The pictures turned out great and we couldn't have been happier! We would refer him to anyone who is looking for a photographer! (Wish we would have found you when we got married a few years ago!) read more

Even after the actual photo session was over Thien was quick to send us a preview of our photos. A short time after that we received all of our edited photos. Not only did he work hard to take our photos, but to edit them as well. The photos we received were beautiful. I am extremely happy with how they turned out.

This review is long overdue, but I met Thien by being a bridesmaid at my best friend's wedding. At her wedding, he was super nice and accommodating, gave clear directions on his envisions for photographs, and took absolutely some of the most gorgeous photos! The colors were so vivid and filled with life! Seeing my friend's great pictures, I knew we had to book him for our family photo session! We wanted to be outdoors, and Thien knew the most perfect, picturesque places to shoot. Aaand he knew how to work with our then 4 month old, which is no easy task! To no surprise, our family photos turned out amazing! I am so happy we chose Thien for our family photos! You guys seriously cannot go wrong if you choose him for your special event! Just do it! read more

As you may recall, I had posted about Thien photographing our engagement photos back in May, well let me just say the experience was even better on our wedding day! Always professional and courteous, Thien was already familiar with us and made the event very special with his attention to detail and to our needs. As you can imagine, we were pretty nervous making sure the day went perfect and Thien's photography was certainly one thing we didn't have to worry about. I would recommend Thien for any event you have planned. Thanks again, Thien, for being a part of our special day! All the best, Violeta & Jerome. read more

My family and I are very lucky to have Thien, the photographer, take our family photo in honor of our parents' 50th anniversary. Every picture he took came out beautiful. He was able to capture the essence of the lightings, vibrant waterfalls, and gorgeous plants. Seeing how our parents react to the photos made it all worth it. If there was an option to put 10 stars, I would do that. Thank you so much for taking your time out to do this for us. We look forward to working with you again. read more

We've had the pleasure of working with Thien at TTTPhotography on many family outdoor/nature portrait sessions. All the pictures turned out beautifully!

He's very professional and approachable. He's our photographer to go to from now on! read more

Thien from TTT Photography is the absolute best when it comes to wedding photography. Just from our first consultation meeting, Thien's passion and knowledge for wedding photography was evident. Thien shared his story of having terrible wedding photos himself as his drive to get into wedding photography. At the end of the event when you have spent your money/time/emotions and everyone goes home, all you have left are the photos (maybe videos if you also hire a videographer). I have had friends who had terrible wedding photographers and had to rely of the guest to send in photos from their iphone/android/canon cameras. Do not let this be you. Let's be honest on 2 things: 1) Wedding photographers constantly book weddings so while it may be your first/only wedding, you need to find a photographer who is excited about your wedding. 2) Average photographers rely on lighting, amazing photographers adjust to their environment and make something amazing (Thien will have happy to share stories). This is important because we can not control the weather during our engagement session or wedding. Like many couples planning a wedding, we meet with A LOT of vendors and you can tell the difference between those who are genuinely interested in your event and their job and those who "play along". Thien came with excitement for our wedding, the knowledge as a "seasoned" wedding photographer with a bunch of locations and the wisdom of a married man himself. During the engagement session and wedding we were able to simply enjoy our celebration. Thien and his assistant (Jarvis - quiet Jarvis) kept taking pictures of everything. The photos were amazing. You can see some photos on his facebook page. We are the couple looking into the dark sky overlooking a cliff with a fire in front. read more

It was a pleasure having Thien as our photographer! He photographed us in celebration of our recent engagement. They offer very affordable packages compared to most that I researched. We were happy to have him assist us in figuring out various ways in having us photographed since we have never taken professional photos before. The photos came out beautiful and we're happy to be able to share them with family and friends. read more

I had a pleasure having Thien as my photographer for my engagement shoot. My husband is not one of those people that likes to take pictures. Working with Thien, he made my husband feel comfortable. Thien is very creative and very talented! I'm glad Thien was able to capture the love my husband and I have for each other. Next up, family photo :) I definitely would recommend Thien to anyone who is looking for a photographer for any occasion! read more

He takes great care in post processing the photos and the proof is in the final product. Will be looking forward to more photo sessions with Thien! read more

Thien is the man! We had so much trouble looking for a wedding photographer in Southern California that was willing to work with our budget and schedule. We also live out of state so you can imagine how hard it was to plan an out of state wedding. He was able to accommodate all of our needs for our wedding. His professionalism definitely showed throughout the whole process. He was very quick to answer any questions and give any recommendations of locations to take photos. He was very transparent with the whole process. We love the quality of the photos and his artistic sense. Definitely one of our best vendors to work with. Highly recommend! read more

Where do I even start? If I could give TTT Photography 10+ stars, I totally would. Thien helped capture my once in a lifetime fairytale wedding to perfection. I've been following Thien's work for a while through Facebook since the beginning of 2015. What caught my attention is that his pictures looked very similar to Lin and Jirsa (but for a fraction of the cost). His pictures were glamorous and bold, but they could also be soft and romantic. Some of my favorites included the beach pictures with the waves and ocean mist surrounding the couple making it look so magical and enchanting. However, what sealed the deal were the pictures of the couple in the desert, with the future bride in the red dress (when you hire him, ask him about that story). It was just the couple and the desert as his backdrop and he was able to capture the color of the skies in pink, red, and orange hues-everything was just absolutely stunning. I knew then that if I were to get married, Thien was the photographer I wanted. Come 2016, my boyfriend finally popped the question. Guess who was the first vendor I booked once I figured out my wedding date? Thien. I was beyond ecstatic that he was available. He was very open and honest about his work, and communicated everything clearly to me. He responded promptly through phone/text/email, and made himself available to me for all my questions or concerns. He asked me what my vision and goals for my wedding were, what type of style/look I was going for, and recommended places for my engagement shoots based on my answers. I think what I loved most about working with him is that photography is not his full-time job, but his passion. I knew he would put his heart and soul to perfect his pictures. I could tell when he walked me through steps and timelines for my wedding, and explained where he would be and what angles he needed from me for the perfect shot. I had so much fun working with him on my wedding day. It wasn't just all business, but there were so much laughter and an easiness I wasn't expecting. And oh boy did Thien deliver on all his pictures. They turned out so beautiful. After spending 12+ hours with me on my wedding day, he went home and edited several to send me as "sneak peaks". These sneak peaks were some of the highlights of my honeymoon trip because my husband and I would look forward to the present he sent to us during the week after our wedding. Thien was able to finish and edit all our wedding photos one month after our wedding. 20+ hours worth of photos (I had a two day wedding) in one month! That alone deserves applause. The pricing for Thien's work is fair. For the quality and expertise that you get, I honestly think it's a steal for his packages. If you're on the fence about him, talk to him and you'll understand why he's the perfect choice for you as your wedding or anything photographer. I cannot wait to work with him again in the future when I do family photo shoots. TL;DR: BOOK THIEN. Fair prices. Amazing quality/magical pictures. You will not regret it. read more

Thien is an absolute gem. My husband and I are so happy we had the opportunity to have both our engagement and wedding pictures taken by Thien. He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and is extremely patient. Thien definitely knows his way around LA and knows where to take the most beautiful pictures. For couples browsing the web for wedding photographers look no further! Thien is your guy! Thank you Thien for making our experience so much fun and for capturing our special moments! read more

We did a family shoot with Thien and the photos came out amazing! Thien was able to get us in spots to get the best picture. I absolutely recommend having Thien as your photographer. He was so patient with my 6 year old and my 2 year old. Highly recommend him!! read more

I should have written this long ago, right after our photoshoot in April but let me just begin to say this before commenting on his work for our pre-wedding photoshoot, Thien is one of the most genuinely nice people I have met. I met him when he worked at our friends' wedding last year. Then during our 2-day trip, we spent more time talking about many topics and I could tell what an amazing person, son, husband, father he is. Now about the photoshoot, you can tell how much he loves photography (probably more than his pharmacist job ) by the look from his eyes. The level of professionalism and work ethic he put into our shoot was out of this world. He literally slept for 5 hours after shooting in Vegas until 2am and offered to drive us back from the Grand Canyon to Vegas when I crashed at the end our shoot the second day. Oh did I mention we walked for more than an hour on crazy uneven dirt roads finding our correct shooting spot at the canyon because of my negligence and he had to walk with all the heavy gears? Sorry anh Thien. All in all, we could not be happier with the results. I know he would have done more if we didn't get lost and arrived early at the canyon, but anh Thien, please rest assured you did more than enough for us. Thanks for being so gracious after we had bugged you countless times for all different reasons. We could not have asked for a better photographer than you. read more

I contacted Thien about doing an engagement shoot and from the beginning he was so pleasant to communicate with. He assisted in brainstorming for our session and came up with great ideas. One of our locations (a bridge) was under construction and we had not expected that but Thien, being a true photographer, located a bed of beautiful yellow flowers near the bridge and made magic happen. He also brought a few props that helped to make us more comfortable. Our other location was the beach...the session was almost over and the sun still had not gone down but Thien suggested that we should wait to get pictures with the sunset. The pictures came out even more beautiful! Thien is a wonderful photographer who has a great eye and shows patience in achieving the perfect picture. We received our pictures back quicker than expected (LOVED THEM!) and I was able to order our Save the Dates today! YAY! read more
