5/5 experience and photos!…read more My wife and I worked with Danny and Julia for our wedding and working with them from start to finish was an absolute blast. When we first saw his portfolio, we were like "Yes this is the photographer that we would want." They are both extremely personable and so easy to work with. We met with him initially to see if he was a good fit for us - vibes, editing, price, what we get from his packages, etc. Everything had checked the boxes. Leading up to the wedding day, we had a couple of more meetings with him to confirm everything. We asked for recommendations for photo spots post wedding and Danny provided a few locations that fit into our itinerary. On the day of, Danny and Julia were prompt. They worked really well with us, our wedding party and all of our guests. There were times when I would be like, "Ok this is an interesting pose or idea, but I'm going to trust the process." I am soooo glad I trusted the process because the photos turned out to be masterpieces. Overall, 100% would recommend for your special occasions. Danny and Julia are great people and amazing photographers!

Danny and Julia are almost too popular to post a review for, but nevertheless they are so excellent…read moreI feel compelled to share! We had the absolute pleasure of working with Danny and Julia for our wedding day at Nestldown in August. Danny's calm yet funny personality, apparent expertise with the venue, and clear instructions made the day go much smoother than what we imagined was possible on a very tight timeline. Julia is also a talented photographer in her own right, with a great eye for detail and capturing priceless photos of people and events happening outside of the center spotlight. When we received the final edited photos a couple of months later, "WOW!" was the only word we could find to describe them. Cannot recommend them enough!

The 5 star review is based on many things: . Always on time . Put all his effort in while working . Always stay calm and happy to us and to our guests .

We would definitely recommend choosing him and his team for your future events.

Daniel was wonderful to work with! We planned a simple wedding ceremony at SF City Hall in a short…read moreperiod of time. My fiancée and I knew we had to prioritize the things were important to us, beautiful photos were one of those things. We needed a photographer that was familiar with City Hall and searched online until we found Daniel. We knew he was the right fit when we saw this work and got to exchange a few emails. He was so easy to work with and just understood what we wanted. Daniel was very flexible and adaptable. He was truly tested when found out there was news conference at the foot of the stairs as well as rain, both threw a wrench in our plans but we worked with what we had and it was lovely. We got our photos quickly too. Our friends and family gushed over our photos, they could not believe we found such a good photographer in such a short period of time. I would absolutely recommend Daniel.

I think my wife would be able to give a more detailed account of our interaction with Daniel, but…read morei'll give you the overview. We found Daniel here on Yelp and we went with him over the other photographers because he was easy to get in touch with, nice in person, and we likes his portfolio. When we met him we saw him for the nice and fun guy that he is. It was important for us to feel like we're dealing with a person instead of a stiff robot (if that makes sense). On the wedding day, he was awesome! He directed us very well and even took some specific shots for us. He even put up with all the family and friend pictures after the ceremony haha! We had some issues of losing light (winter marriage) and he decided to take some more pictures at the church before we headed off to the reception area and this turned out to be a GREATA decision since it was very dark soon. Had we waited, those ceremony pictures would have been dark. He had worked at our venue before, so he knew his way around the place and did his thing. I focused on enjoying the moment and making sure my new bride was happy, and Daniel took care of the awesome pictures. We got back all the pictures within a month and my wife went back and forth with him over email to pick some photos to touch up and to re-edit. In the end we were SUPER HAPPY and i would recommend Daniel Hon to anyone. I might recommend against winter weddings though =P unless you give yourself more time to take great pictures with the daylight. THANK YOU DANIEL!

Trifon is perfectly professional and patient. We loved working with him before, during, and after…read moreour wedding- Beforehand, he was flexible in timing and location for the engagement shoots and showed his expertise in using natural lighting. During the wedding, we had friends comment that they thought he was a relative or family friend because he was friendly to everyone and quickly picked up on who/what we might have wanted more pictures with/of - all with very little direction from us! After the wedding, Trifon got us our pictures in an incredibly timely manner - we were so surprised! Overall, we were blessed to have 2 ceremonies (one in the USA and one in the Philippines). The photographer in the Philippines was all about posing and, while we had fun with the style that was more of a photo shoot and even some borderline boudoir style shots, that photographer would take 5 minutes to take one picture. Trifon has a more candid style, allowing more natural photos like of people hugging or laughing. He also blended seamlessly, not getting into the way of other people watching what was going on and not interrupting other people taking inferior pictures on their phones. Take your pic!

I booked an appointment with Trifon in order to get a Professional headshot along with a US visa…read morephoto. He was incredibly patient and spent time adjusting the lights until he was satisfied and took some really awesome photos. He even read the US Visa photo spec (upon request) and made necessary adjustments to get the correct shot. In the end, I converted my appointment to family session-ish and took 10 pictures since I had brought multiple outfits. He sent me proof copies of the session the same day and when I selected the one's I wanted, he got back to me the next day itself. Incredibly efficient, timely and patience = Tirfon. I highly recommend Trifon to anyone looking to take a professional photo.

Each time, he delivered beautiful, detailed photos that really captured the special moments and emotions of the day. He is friendly, responsive, and very accommodating throughout the entire process.

We had an amazing experience with Donna and Daniel as our wedding photographers!…read more Leading up to our wedding, communication was easy and straightforward. The day of, we felt like we were in good hands - Donna and Daniel helped put us at ease directing us to help capture the best photos (especially helpful as people that feel awkward around cameras) and found the best spots/moments throughout the venue. We love our preview photos and we are so excited to receive the rest! We would highly recommend Studio Opia to others!

I worked with Donna to take pre-wedding photos and had a great experience. She's lovely, fun, and…read moreeasy to work with. We took photos at two locations--one of them being at SF city hall. It was busy that day, but she is very efficient which I really appreciated. I also noticed she was kind to the other photographers working that day while somehow still getting us to be the first in line to shoot at popular spots. I really liked how much of a go getter she was, but still down to earth at the same time. It made me like her even more, in addition to the great work she already produces. Below are a few unedited photos she took. Even though I was particularly tired that day, she had great energy and her enthusiasm helped so much. She was even kind enough to make sure I was comfortable throughout the day and helped us carry our phones and bouquet. She's really fantastic as a person and in her profession. I'm not a photogenic person in my opinion, but you can clearly see how beautiful the photos are! I highly recommend Donna and if I ever need a photographer in the future, I would love to work with her again.

I cannot stop looking at our gorgeous photos!!! The lighting, the angles, the composition. Bre…read moretruly knows her stuff. When my husband and I first spoke with her about photographing our wedding we talked about wanting to capture those beautiful, candid moments. We told her we were more familiar with being behind the camera than in front of it so we might need some direction. But the most important thing was that she stick to her style, which is elegant and classic, yet somehow effortless and intimate. It's a style we loved, but we could never have anticipated the magic that she captured. Bre did an incredible job of documenting the day. When I was frazzled and being pulled in a million different directions, she was calm and supportive. I could see that she was on top of it, which immediately put me at ease. She was wonderful at balancing the line between letting us do our thing and finding moments for us to freeze or slightly reposition. She made the day more fun and we knew that we were in good hands. She gave great advice and has incredible instincts. My family is not the easiest and they loved her. We're both in the film industry and can be quite critical and we loved her. She is kind and professional and insanely talented. I cannot put into words how grateful we are that we found Bre and that we had the good sense to hire her. She made our day and now we not only have memories that will last a lifetime, but stunning photos that far exceed anything that I could have imagined. Who would have thought we could look so damn good! I cannot recommend Bre enough and will be recommending her to anyone who will listen.

How can I even begin to give Bre (and her team: Kate and Nicola) the justice and review they…read moredeserve. They were more I could ever hope for and more! We found Bre through one of my bridesmaids and best friends. She had worked with her at weddings when she worked for a caterer and Bre was the photographer. Choosing a photographer was always something I felt would be difficult. My family owns Nestldown and I have seen thousands of wedding photos and photographers but now it was time for my husband and I to pick our own! We looked at Bre's facebook photos and I saw a photo of a father of the groom with tears of joy welling in his eyes and I felt as though I was at their wedding and experiencing that same love: I was hooked. Well my husband, who is initially a pretty big introvert needed to feel comfortable with her as well. We met in Mountain View before one of his work shifts and she wowed him too. She made him feel comfortable immediately and like she was a friend he could trust and wouldn't let feel uncomfortable - that's just not her personality!! We hired her on the spot and never have regretted it!! We took our engagement photos a few months before the wedding and after seeing her magic with other couples, we felt it in our own photos! We had such a blast hopping location to location with out Bernese Mountain Dog (super important to us she could capture him too) and the photos were perfect. My friends and family told me they were the most beautiful photos they had ever seen! She gave us instruction, specific ones that made it easy for Kyle to know what he should do - not question if his pose was right. She is also patient and quick: She captures every moment and is especially good at waiting for the perfect ones even if it means leaving you in a pose long enough you break into laughter!! On the day of our wedding, she was a calming presence and quick!! We got a sneak preview of our photos within 24 hours and they were perfect. It was hard to believe that we could love 50/50 photos and that wouldn't even be close the the number we would receive when we get the full album!!!! One of my favorites is when she caught the most amazing photo of my husband crying as I came down the aisle. It is something I will treasure forever and something I hope will inspire another Couple to choose her as well!!!!! She was incredibly fast with our post-ceremony photos which was important since we had 3 sets of Grandparents over 80 (mine being 93) that wouldn't be patient for long! She was done fast and worked amazingly with our video team (Grover Films!). She has become more than our photographer, she is our friend and even family!! We look forward to seeing the rest but also having a life long photographer for family photos, maternity shoots, etc.! We are so grateful and that still doesn't even begin to describe it!!! Love, Diana and Kyle Einfalt 09.07.18

Echoing my friend Cindy L, yes, this team is FABULOUSSSSSSSS and FASTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…read more I met Michael in 2009, and I knew he and his team would be my wedding photographer and cinematographer one day when I tie the knot. In 2010, I introduced my start-up company in Redwood City to Michael and his team to do an IoT video and they loved his work. The animation was pure genius and story line was so easy to comprehend. In 2014, I introduced my best friend, Cindy L, to Michael and his team, for her wedding, and she and her husband absolutely fell in love with Capture the Love photos and cinematography. Fast forward to 2016. When my NOW husband and I booked Nestldown for our wedding venue in 2016, I knew IMMEDIATELY who I would have as my photographer and cinematographer--the wonderful Capture the Love team!!! I did not even shop around. Right after we signed the contract with Nestldown, I immediately called Michael Soo and made sure we reserve him for Fall 2017 before another couple snatch him from us. Michael and his team come at a price, but you SERIOUSLY pay for what you get. I honestly don't know any team who work as fast as this team. We took our engagement photos and finished around 5pm and within 3 hours, we received sneak previews, and by 9pm, we received all our photos! We had our wedding on Saturday, which ended at 10pm, and by midnight, we received 2 sneak previews!!!! On Tuesday (yes less than 72 hours later), we received another 20 photos!!!! He informed us that all the photos will be ready by Friday afternoon (less than 7 days from our wedding!!) ! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY, no one works this fast, except this fabulous team. I keep looking at the 20+ photos and I am still floating on cloud 9 and reliving every moment of our wedding day. On the day of our wedding, the team showed up early, which was SOOOO MUCH appreciative, so they could ensure they were able to capture every little minute detail. They always had a smile on their faces, even when they have to deal with crazy family members and vendors who get in the way of the shots. I looked in the corner of my eye and I was personally annoyed certain ppl/kids were in the shot, but the team was very professional and never yelled or had a frown on their faces. This definitely helps keep the bride calm. I never doubted this team and trusted them whenever they told us to go here and there, and do this and that pose. I told them, "tell us what to do and we will do it!" I can't wait to see all the photos and the cinematography so I can relive one of the best days of my life! When you ask former brides and grooms for wedding planning tips, they always say, "spend money on your photography and cinematography!!!" Best advice ever since you get to keep these photos and videos forever compared to florals which will last no more than a few days! Thank you so much Capture the Love!! Money well spent!!! I highly recommend if you're in the market for photography or/and cinematography!!!
