It began with a virtual consultation with Nadine and Sofia to go over the details of the photoshoot and next steps. Since I am pregnant and also have two boys, I wanted the photoshoot to be special by capturing our growing family. We decided on a maternity and family holiday photoshoot, which included variety of backgrounds and outfits. The next step was scheduling a in-person fitting prior yo the shoot to try on a few dresses. Sofia put together a styling sheet and provided suggestions on what to wear for my family to coordinate nicely. Sofia also provided a timeline on the day of the shoot, which was very helpful. As a busy pregnant working mom, the best thing about this entire experience was getting professional hair and makeup done at the studio! Shoutout to artist Veronica for making me feel and look my best. I have done two sunrise family photoshoots in the past, and I absolutely do not have the energy, time, or desire to get ready on my own. I also had a maternity in-studio photoshoot done last year, I had to go get makeup and hair done in two different places, then drive an hour, which by then my curls were no longer holding. Not at Sachiko Studios, they will take care of you from beginning to end, and you will feel fresh. After getting hair and makeup done, we did a quick maternity photoshoot session. My family met us at the studio and we did the holiday photoshoot. The in-studio photos of our family portraits turned out lovely. For outdoor shoot, we drove to Bradbury's Bridge, which was about 15 min away. I loved the fall and natural backdrops. Having the option of doing an outdoor photoshoot was great because it captured our active kids candidly. Nadine was so great with my kids! She was able to capture my youngest looking happy and all smiles. She rewarded my oldest for being good at following directions.

My photo session included hair and makeup by one of Nadine's stylists, Quendy (highly recommend!!) and wardrobe! That really helped because my closet consists of leggings and sweaters lol. We did 3 outfit changes, Nadine shot some of my products, and action shots with a model. Nadine made the whole experience very comfortable and fun for someone who is *really* shy and prefers to stay behind the camera. I love how my photos came out and excited for another photo session in the future!

She made a lot of great shots, far more than we imagined, since we weren't good at posing lol. Beth was patient and helpful, assisted us with props and walked with us all over the campus to get the specific shots we wanted. She really made our engagement special. In addition, Beth's quote is very reasonable and she signed up for the session with a short notice, after our previous photographer suddenly dropped out. Strongly recommend her to everyone. - Alex and Sophia

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.

I had an outstanding experience with Dave Yip Photography. Dave and his team (his wife) are…read moreincredibly professional, talented, and genuinely committed to capturing the best possible images. 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!

We are so grateful for your professionalism, attention to detail, and the level of care you put into every shot. Your experience truly shows. One thing we really appreciated was how direct and clear you were with instructions. You guided us on exactly how to pose, where to place our hands, and how to position ourselves so the photos looked natural and elegant. Because of that, we felt confident the entire time and never felt awkward in front of the camera. Another amazing feature was the live cam viewing option. Being able to instantly see the photos you were taking gave both us and our guests so much excitement and reassurance. Every picture looked incredible, and it really showed us that we were working with a true professional. We absolutely love that we could immediately view the moments you captured. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further. Emil's attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to make couples feel comfortable are truly superb. Highly recommend!

He is highly communicative, fun to talk to and was an absolute professional for us in our engagement shoot and wedding. I write this review even before receiving our entire wedding portfolio because of how much fun we had working with him. He has an attention to detail that shines in his photography that you don't see very often in a lot of wedding photography nowadays, and as someone who feels very camera shy, he made me feel absolutely beautiful in the photos he's shot so far. Thank you Chris for all your hard work, I cannot recommend him enough!

We didn't actually meet in person until the wedding day but she was so easygoing, friendly and professional that I immediately knew I had made the right decision to hire her. My wedding was in a church with strict photography rules and Hannah was wonderful about staying out of the way and not disrupting the ceremony, but at the same time getting all of the important shots. Later at the reception she was great about wrangling family members for photos and making sure to get all of the groups of people on my list. When it came time for couples photos, with my now husband, you could tell she was a true artist, asking us to pose in specific ways to get certain shots. She knows what she's doing and, if you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further and hire Hannah!
