Phenomenal Experience with All on Deck Photos! If I could give more than five stars, I would. My wife first found All on Deck Photos on TikTok, and from the first interaction to the final delivery, they were nothing short of spectacular. We used them for both our wedding photography and videography, and they truly made our vision come to life. The Planning & Communication Their communication leading up to the big day was excellent. We had a Zoom call and a detailed questionnaire that covered things I never would have even thought of. They even set up a group chat with Segun (our photographer), Joren (our videographer), my wife, and me. They asked a lot of questions--not to be pushy, but to ensure they were catering the entire experience to exactly what we wanted. The Wedding Day On the day of the wedding, the team was punctual and professional. Segun and Joren met with us immediately to walk through the timeline. They were so thorough with the setup, ensuring mics and lighting were in the ideal spots. I've done photoshoots before, but this was next level. There was a lot of posing (my neck and muscles on my face were tired! lol), but it was all for a good reason. During the ceremony, they were like ghosts--they didn't ruin the flow at all. They worked around us, rather than making us work around them, which made us feel so comfortable. The Results The Photos: We received these about a month after the wedding. AMAZING. PHENOMENAL. Segun captured every single moment perfectly. Having the SF City Hall backdrop captured so clearly made the photos look like something out of a magazine. The editing was flawless. The Video: While the video took a little longer, they stayed within the timeline they promised (about 3 months). WE WERE SPEECHLESS. Joren felt like a high-end director/producer. I had a very specific vision of creating our own music video to "No Air" by Chris Brown and Jordin Sparks. I wanted it edited so that every time Jordin sang, my wife was on screen, and every time Chris Brown sang, it was me. They executed this perfectly! It's hard to please me, but Joren made my dream a reality. Final Verdict If you want a team that is thorough, communicative, and produces world-class results, hire All on Deck. They helped us create our own music video and captured our special moments in a way we will cherish forever. We are forever thankful! read more

We had one of those perfect weddings where all our family showed up and everything went smoothly. We ate, laughed with friends, and danced the night away. It was truly one of the best days of my life. After living every moment of that day, AOD was tasked with capturing all the precious memories and weaving together what mattered most. Joren managed to pack an entire day's worth of emotion into just 6 minutes and 15 seconds, allowing us to relive every moment. It felt like he was in our hearts and minds, bringing what was most important to life on video. Working with the team felt like working with family. From start to finish, we felt completely at ease, and it shows every moment felt like home and came across effortlessly natural. We truly can't say enough about how happy we are with our choice! In fact, we are so happy this that this is our second review! After AOD captured our Engagement, there was no one else we trusted to do our wedding! Thank you!!!!! read more

We greatly enjoyed working with Allan for our engagement and wedding photography and Joren for our wedding videography! They were communicative and friendly throughout, and we trusted them to capture us and our big day at all the right moments and angles. What we appreciated most was that they struck a good balance between guiding us with posing and just being present to capture the candid moments that we really wanted to remember. It was super helpful to be able to share what we hoped to have captured through a survey beforehand, and they delivered! The photos captured the love, joy, and laughter that encapsulated our wedding day, and the video flowed so beautifully and brought a huge smile to our faces. We highly recommend AOD to anyone looking for a photo/video team for their engagement or wedding! read more

We hired All On Deck Photos for our SF City Hall wedding, and let me just say--they clutched up, big time. We showed up literally minutes before our ceremony (wedding mornings have a mind of their own), but AOD didn't even flinch. Allan and Segun stepped in with total confidence and kindness, guided us without rushing, and created a sense of calm we didn't even know we needed. Their familiarity with City Hall made everything seamless--where the light hits just right, how to move through the crowds (even when I kept getting distracted after the ceremony), and how to get those iconic staircase shots without making anything feel stiff or forced. They caught the moments that truly mattered: the soft smiles, the deep breaths, and that "we're really doing this" spark in our eyes. Going through our gallery feels like reliving the day from the inside out. The photos are warm, emotional, and authentic--nothing overly posed, just a genuine reflection of the love God has poured into our story. "This is the Lord's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes" (Psalm 118:23). Even with no buffer time, they made the whole experience feel effortless. And the photos? Way beyond what we imagined. One thing we appreciated even more was that they included the unedited shots--no paywalls, no watermarks--just transparency and generosity, which is rare in the wedding photography world. If you're planning an SF City Hall wedding--or any wedding, especially on a tight timeline--All On Deck Photos is the team you want behind the lens. We're genuinely grateful. My wife, family, friends, and I will be cherishing these moments for the rest of our lives. (Only sharing a preview of these special moments so you can get a glimpse of what his portfolio has to offer! Book him to get the full experience!) :) read more

Absolutely wonderful to have had Allan capture our beautiful moments. Hes overly considerate (in a wonderful way) and always asked if we were comfortable with any new ideas/poses. He made even the process before the ceremony smooth, explaining where to go, how long, and remained nearby. The photo delivery was also very timely and was very open minded to reeditted some pictures. I could not have asked for a better photogrpaher. Thank you Allan. You will safe, you will feel loved, you will feel comfortable! read more

Nothing but good things to say about All On Deck! Allan is a master at his craft. From my experience, he was extremely easy to work with and collaborated seamlessly with my plans. I was able to schedule a time with him with only a week until the shoot date. He listened to my vision and worked effortlessly with my ideas for the day we were shooting. He was incredibly flexible. When I arrived early and he had to go with the flow, he had no problem adapting. He captured the surprise reaction photos I was hoping for perfectly. As for our engagement shoot, Allan made us feel completely comfortable and helped us shine while enjoying each other naturally. He captured our love beautifully, and the photos turned out absolutely stunning. We couldn't be happier with how they show our excitement for this next chapter of our lives.

My husband and I had to absolute pleasure of working with Allan and the AOD team for our engagement shoot in 2021 and then our wedding last year in 2024. My husband and I had never had a professional shoot done before our engagement and the team made it very easy and comfortable.

It was a great experience throughout and I would love to work with them again in the future for any photo/video needs read more

We loved working with Allan and his team! They're we're so kind and fun to work with. We had our engagement photos done by them, so they understood we prefer simple and straightforward instructions. They always asked if we were comfortable and if we liked any ideas they had. When any changes needed to be made or we were running late, they reassured us that they can adjust. Our talks before the wedding were especially helpful. My husband and I got to explain the style of photos we like, the major moments throughout the day, and any questions we had. Allan walked us through the process and what would work best. Since my husband and I preferred candids, Allan knowing all of this before hand helped him take relaxed and natural pictures. Allan's photography style is very beautiful and creative too. He has a lot of posing ideas we would not have thought of and we just love his use of natural light. Even just the raw photos were amazing. Allan and his team captured all the moments that are precious to us. Thank you All On Deck team! read more

They were all very respectful and courteous towards us at all times. 100% recommend them to anyone interested in working along a positive and nice team!! read more

Allan and Segun were amazing! They took our engagement photos at San Jose Municipal Rose Garden. We were unsure of where we wanted to take our photos and what to wear. Allan was very considerate and asked us for our input or what our vision was. He suggested the appropriate location and recommended attire that would best fit the setting. The roses in the garden were at full bloom and there was barely anyone there in the early morning. So the location was perfect for photos. Allan and Segun was also very patient with us on guiding us from spot to spot and pointing us to some great poses. They made us feel very comfortable and were attentive to the small details, making sure the engagement ring was facing the perfect direction. We're very thankful to have booked them for this service, and would highly recommend them to all our friends and family! read more

My journey finding Allan from All On Deck Photos started when I felt that other photographers in the Bay Area were not clear on communication and just wanted me to book with them. I was on the lookout for a photographer who would be fully transparent and answer all my questions prior to booking. After all, photos are an investment, something that Allan stands by when it comes to his work. After initially talking to him, he checked off all the boxes. Very fast In replying, very informative, and was open to answering all my questions. I decided to book my graduation shoot with him. The days leading to the photoshoot, Allan was asking if I had any questions, reminded me to bring comfy shoes (as I was 8 months pregnant at the time), and gave me suggestions of props to bring. The day of the photoshoot, he was very kind, made me and my family feel comfortable, and always checked in if something was ok to do. He's just super thoughtful when it comes to his clients. Now about his work - his work is amazing. He works hard and he works fast. His photos are timeless and of great quality. Never awkward or unnatural. My husband and I loved his work so much that we booked our maternity shoot with him a few weeks after. I wish I found him when I got married because his wedding photos look so bomb too. You won't regret booking with Allan. He's the only photographer in the Bay that I will always continue to work with. read more

We are so happy with the photo results from our wedding. Allan and company were wonderful in every way. Everyone was extremely friendly, fun, joyful, and very professional. As everyone knows weddings are incredibly stressful and AoD did everything they could to make things go as smoothly as possible. We had so many family photo permutations and so many table visits and AoD handled them perfectly and the photos came out so great. They were incredibly respectful during our first look and allowed us time to enjoy the moment as they continued taking photos without me even noticing they were still there. They were great with the little children and our overly hyper dog. I can't recommend All on Deck Photography enough. read more

I wish I could convey just how thankful we are to AOD through this review, but no words can cover just how much we appreciate all that they've done for us. Allan and his team made sure that from the moment we had our consultation with them, through the complimentary engagement shoot, to coming out to bottle service with us after the rehearsal dinner, and finally to our big day that we were fully taken care of, all concerns were addressed, all questions were answered, every request was fulfilled, and every precious moment was documented. I never expected to feel so comfortable in front of a camera, but AOD made it super easy to pose, be comfortable, and just get the best possible outcomes for our pictures and videos. They were SO accommodating, so kind, and fit in with the celebration so well because they were having fun doing what they do best! I'm giving AOD all our support, all our praise because they truly deserve it, and they deserve your business. You will not regret trusting them with your milestone events, because they will do everything they can to give you the absolute best experience you didn't even know was possible. Plus, they got us our engagement photos fully edited a DAY after, and our FULL wedding gallery A WEEK after the event. With such great quality, too! Are you kidding me?! Absolutely incredible.

We found Allan, Andre, and Joren while they were taking photos at the Alameda County Fair. Their positive energy attracted us to them and we were so glad when they said they could fit us in their schedule. Allan's communication before our wedding reception made us feel extremely comfortable with him and his team. After texting and speaking to him, we knew we would be taken care of when the time came. During the event, we feel like we had nothing to worry about. The team was able to capture every moment from start to finish, and the photos and video turned out beautiful. We're so glad we finally have pictures of the kids smiling and looking at the camera at the same time, that alone, is priceless. Allan and the team are highly recommended.

Allan with All On Deck Photography brought his talent and his party ready energy to our wedding day. It was clear that Allan was dedicated to capturing our best and happiest moments. He is so much fun to be around and made sure to get all our details down before wedding day. Not to mention, he was on top of everything even with only 2 weeks of notice. He kept up communication with all of our vendor team and set aside time to speak to us via FaceTime. Our guests kept commenting on how fun Allan was and how comfortable he made them feel throughout the day. He is great with providing easy to follow directions and making us feel confident while taking portraits.
