Each picture turned out amazing, it's hard picking a favorite. He was also a pleasure to work with, helping me with how to pose with my dogs.

He still found ways to take photos and I love how it came out. Would definitely recommend him for all your pet photoshoot needs.

I submitted a project request through Yelp, and Victory Lane Photography was the first to respond. They were quick, and answered all of my questions about the date, and location. On the day of our session, communication was excellent, and everything ran smoothly. He was prompt, and did a great job of directing our large, chaotic family. He was patient very friendly which helped make it feel light and less chaotic. And, we absolutely love how the photos turned out on the beach. I liked the candid pictures of not everyone looking and hair flowing. We were very happy with the entire experience.

Prior to the photo shoot, he was great about making suggestions on locations (found out through him that we needed permission to take pictures at some places). He was also very accommodating with our schedule. I mentioned to him that the portrait was for special cultural event and he even researched about it prior to the day of the photoshoot so he could make suggestions on props and poses. This meant a lot to me that he actually took time to do that. The day of the photoshoot, he was punctual and came before the photoshoot to scout the location. Our daughter is 4 year old, and he was amazing working with her that she stayed engaged for the duration of the photoshoot (which is pretty long for a 4 year old). We all had a lot of fun. And the pictures.....they came out absolutely amazing!!! If we are going to do another family portrait, I know for sure that I'm contacting him again. Huascar is an amazing photographer, and you will not regret working with him.

It was an instant hook for my wife and I when we were searching for photography studio for our…read morepre-wed and wedding day shooting in 2015 - The amazing and moving shots from Ken on social media gave us a very clear and dreamy vision of our wedding that we were anxiously preparing. We were really lucky to be able to book the studio and everything since the contract was signed was butter smooth, professional, 'dreamy' as my wife would call it - It was our BEST call during the wedding process and how fortunate we were to have them capture the most precious moments in our lives in a such pleasant, delicate way. During the preparation of our pre-wedding shooting, we were offered plenty options to shoot across the bay area. There was no rush in decision making and Ammy was so careful to discuss with us the theme of our pre-wed to match our ceremony as well as the stories of us getting together. We were discussing these details on daily basis ahead of the shooting and when we decided the two day itinerary, she went further to help us pick the outfit - I still remember the day when were ready for shooting, my hair was not really properly done and her team helped me redo my hair which is obviously not their duty. Ken drove us that day to highway 1 on day one and it was a whole day full of professional shooting and recording of great time - I almost felt like we are on a road trip full of romance and Ken was there to capture who we really are, with sincere emotions in the pictures so story-telling and loving. And there was also the short movie shooting that they centered around our stories and the film was so precisely executed with all the emotions and presentations we intended. Everyone on the wedding day was touched by the film and I couldn't thank them enough. After the pre-wed shooting, we were very close to the studio team and grew even more confident of the wedding day. My wife was getting more nervous of all the wedding planing and if there was one thing reassuring to her, it was the studio would make the wedding look absolutely fabulous - And she was RIGHT. On the wedding day, there were a crew of more than five people from the studio, it was more than two hour drive from their office to the venue and they were there by 9am. The sun came out and our big day shooting went on like a dream, we went to the beach to capture so many great pictures as the time allows. The film team was also there and even brought a drone to get some cinematic touch to the professionalism we enjoyed from the start. Right before the ceremony started, I didn't even notice but they were at all angles capturing everything. I was amazed how many awesome shots we got from the ceremony and every picture was so natural and full of the late August sunshine. In the catering session, our guests admired greatly on the pre-wed photos we presented in the hall and of course the pre-wed film that were magical. After our wedding, the studio worked with us on picking the photos from the wedding for re-touching - The techniques of the crew were top notch and fast in response to our needs. We received all the digital copy of the pictures on time and we shared them with all of our family and friends with waves of complements and blessings flowing in. Till this day after a year and half, we still get friends asking where we get our shoots done - This is why I had to write this review here and let them know where to look for them. Look no further if you look for studios in the bay area for photoshoots of any significant occasions. Vidd studio is simply the BEST!

We were looking for a great photographer who wouldn't break our wedding budget. Since we were…read moreliving apart at the time, my wife found them online and decided to give vid studio a shot. After the first meeting, we were hooked! Kenny and Ammy were very willing to meet with us for as long and often as needed to make us feel comfortable with what we wanted and what we were getting. Before our each shoot, they were willing to take the time to make sure we would be as well prepared and well dressed as possible. They are also very enthusiastic about their work, and their cheerfulness is infectious. The staff at VID studio are all very professional. They have all different kinds of cameras, stands, and photo/video accessory for every kind of shot. A city-wide video shoot with them will make you feel like you're filming a professional commercial or movie. Kenny, Ammy, and the rest of the crew are all perfectionists. They will do everything in their power to make every picture and every scene perfect, whether it be taking extra shots just in case the next one comes out even better, working extremely long days, or even extra days to get everything right. My wife is incredibly picky about photos and video, and they almost always managed to please her. If she wasn't 100% satisfied, they would do whatever it took to get her there. Of course that means that we also spent a LOT of time in front of the camera, but it was well worth it. Ammy does a wonderful job with makeup and hair. My wife can be extremely picky about this, but she always comes back from the mirror glowing after being prepped by Ammy. Kenny is a wonderful photographer who cares less about poses and more about what his clients are doing, what's happening around them, and how they interact with their surroundings. He's really great at using the settings of his shots to their full potential. Like Kenny, video director Shun is very flexible. While they always come up with a general script for shots, he's always looking to see how he can use what he has to make it the best it can be. The same can be said for the rest of the crew as well. We and everybody we know have been extremely happy and impressed with their results for our engagement photos/video and we can't wait to see how our wedding photos and video turned out!
