Ditto is an absolute dream to work with and I am so happy we went with him as our wedding photographer. My husband and I are awkward and stiff in front of cameras, but Ditto made us feel right at ease. He gave us gentle guidance with poses, helped us relax, and chose some of the most beautiful spots for photos. We adored our engagement photos but our shots from our wedding absolutely stunned us - we could not believe how gorgeous everything turned out! If you're looking for a photographer who is professional, easy to work with, quick with their edits and final photos, you have to go with Ditto. Thank you so much for capturing our best moments, and we can't wait to work with you again soon. read more

We had a wonderful experience working with Ditto for our wedding. Included in his package is an engagement shoot, which we did at Filoli - they were perfect for our save the dates and guestbook at the wedding. On the day of, Ditto and his assistant were amazing to work with, helping us capture some of the most beautiful photos of our wedding. Ditto also specializes in film photography - for photography geeks, he uses a medium format camera for his portraiture. Ditto is so kind - we asked him to do some B/W photography and he even brought another film camera with B/W film loaded just for us. If I could give 6/5 stars, I would. From the beginning, Ditto has always been extremely personable, professional, and responsive. I would recommend working with him if he is available on your date. read more

So happy to book our elopement at SF City Hall with him! * Worked with the schedule that I wanted * Showed up early * Very respectful around other photographers * Had a timer on his phone to let him & us know when it was time to check in with our witness * Knew his way around city hall * Received photos earlier than expected Something every bride wants when they look at their wedding photos is for them to look beautiful and their dress and Ditto nailed it. 100/100 would recommend read more

Ditto and his assistant showed up early and started taking amazing photos right off the bat. The pre-wedding communication was timely. He was easy to work with and brought calm energy to a day when stress can permeate the fun out of it. We immediately received a high volume, beautiful sneak peak the evening after the wedding which was a fun surprise and a great way to start our honeymoon admiring the gorgeous photos. If you are considering Ditto Diante Photography for your wedding, I would highly recommend him. read more

We had the honor of working with Ditto for our city hall ceremony, a photo session for my grandparents, and most recently for our wedding ceremony and reception. He has blown us away with his amazing personality, talent, and efficiency each time! Not only does Ditto always show up early, his talented eye spots the most beautiful parts of each venue. Despite us being camera shy, he effortlessly communicates how to pose and makes it feel so natural. We were blown away by all of his stunning photos, it had everything! He captured stunning close portrait shots, wide angles showing the beauty of the venue, and even navigated the chaos of our large families for the group photos with such ease. His sneak peeks are always so fast and loaded with highlights, many more than we expected. His speed made it easy to share photos with our families early on when people were still in town. And his final photo collections each time are a beautiful reflection of his style: elegant and dreamy. Ditto is by far one of the best investments we made for both our city hall ceremony and formal reception/wedding. We are in love with his work and would not hesitate to recommend Ditto to capture your special day. read more

Ditto is such a kind and amazing photographer. And if you love his style of photography, he's definitely the way to go! I contacted Ditto in 2019 for a wedding in late 2020. Obviously that didn't work out, but in 2021 we had the opportunity to work with Ditto twice! Once for our maternity shoot and again for our micro-wedding a month later. He was as flexible as one could be and worked with us in scheduling. On the days of, Ditto did a wonderful job guiding us in what to wear as well as what poses to get into, and they looked natural! He has a great eye for backdrops as well. Our maternity shoot was scheduled on a day wherein it was supposed to rain and he offered to reschedule. Thankfully, the sun came out and our photos turned out beautiful. We even got photos during golden hour! Our wedding was during mid afternoon so the lighting was a bit harsh. I was a little worried with how the photos would turn out, but Ditto worked his magic. We love our photos and are now having a hard time choosing which photos to frame! I would not hesitate to work with Ditto again. Now that we have our little one I would love to get some family photos in his style of photography so that the photos in our home are cohesive. Thank you, Ditto, for your beautiful work! read more

I came across Ditto's work through Instagram and his style of photography immediately caught my eye! I am so happy that we got to work with him for our wedding day (: In the weeks leading up to my civil ceremony, Ditto was very easy to communicate with over email. He was reassuring and always responded quickly. On my wedding day, Ditto EXCEEDED all of my expectations as a photographer. He was flexible when it came to doing group photos with our family. He guided my husband and I into every pose (we're not used to doing professional photos so we really appreciated this) and had great prompts that made use look natural instead of stiff. He was kind in the smallest of details - he helped us with our bags and constantly fixed my train. He is also very knowledgeable in finding the best spots and lighting that sf city hall has to offer, so we never wasted a second and probably took hundreds of photos! Overall, Ditto is a talented photographer and is someone that is very kind and has passion for what he does. Lastly, I am obsessed with the sneak peek photos he sent... so I can't wait to see the rest of the photos he took because I'm sure they are amazing. He really made our wedding day easy going, fun and unforgettable! I'm so glad that I chose him to capture the memories of my civil ceremony. read more

Our experience with Ditto Dianto Photography was so wonderful all around! We booked Ditto back in 2019 after he took photos for our friends wedding. He came highly recommended and we're so glad we decided to go with him. Originally our wedding was supposed to take place in August 2020, but due to the pandemic--we had to postpone our big day an entire year. Ditto was understanding and totally willing to work with us on rescheduling his services to our new wedding date. In our package, he offered an engagement session which we like to call our "practice round." My husband and I are far from photogenic, and we definitely feel awkward when it comes to posing for photos. Nonetheless, Ditto made it so easy for us. He was so fun to work with and made us feel comfortable through our photo sessions. He took a mix of portraits, action shots, wide angles and natural scenery shots. Our engagement photos came out stunning, dreamy and he definitely captured some fairytale moments. The photos far exceeded our expectations and we knew we were in great hands for our wedding. Ditto has such a natural eye for the beauty in all spaces. He is able to find inspiration from the surroundings and find the perfect shot no matter where we are. We got ready at an airbnb before our wedding and even though the space was far from picture perfect, somehow Ditto was able to capture spaces in the house that made our photos come out so gorgeous! We are so impressed by our photos and get so much joy from reliving the special moments though the lens of Ditto's photos. If we had three words to describe Ditto's photography style, it would be: light, airy and dreamy! Ditto was hands down our favorite wedding vendor! He's easy-going, professional, talented and everything we wished for in a photographer. We feel so lucky that we were able to work with him. If you're looking for a photographer, look no more. If you're thinking about relying on your friends to capture your special moments with their cameras or smartphones to save some money, believe us--the quality of your photos will not compare to Ditto's work. Choose Ditto and enjoy your special moments on the day-of and for years to come. read more

Ditto was amazing! We got in touch with Ditto 3 months before our pandemic downsized wedding. We were planning to have the indoor wedding on December, but because of the regulations, we decided to move it forward to outdoor wedding in November. Planning and pre wedding: Ditto were very responsive to my texts and calls, even in weekends and after 10pm (sorry ditto for bothering you after hours ). I wasn't expecting that he will reply me but he did. We did not hire him for our engagement because we won some engagement giveaway, but we were planning to hire him because he is a very personable person. He also gave us an affordable rate for his stellar service. He was also flexible and accommodating when we decided to change our wedding date (we were fortunate that he were available on that day also!). Book him fast because his schedule will be full fast, we were fortunate that some couples decided to postpone their wedding. Dday: On the day, he was on time, and he look attentively to the timeline and the photography list that I gave him. He was also very respectful about social distancing and the covid protocol. He helped us follow our schedule (if not for him we will be running late for sure), reminding us on what to do next, he was very attentive and professional. He also worked well with the videographer (I hired one that he referred me to). And He captured all the moments beautifully!! He remembered the photography list I gave him, what kind of pose I wanted, and he patiently take pictures of all the guests and us. He even take a picture of our parents who were on the phone. Even though he was solo, he gave us many photographs with lots of angles. I really love the tone of his work and just see the pictures I included here :) pictures speak more than my words. After Wedding: He delivered sneak peek within 2 days, and the full photo album within 1 week. I wasnt expecting the fast delivery so I was happy. Results were breathtaking Hire him and you wont regret it! read more

Ditto Photography - Our Wedding - Session Photography Near Me

Ditto is INCREDIBLE!!!!! Freaking incredible! Like many others we were slated to have a June 2020 wedding which we ended up canceling because of COVID19. We had initially hired Ditto to do our engagement photography in addition to capturing our wedding. I'll start with the engagement shoot. Ditto is PREPARED. We had selected a park in SF for our engagement shoot,  and on the day of the shoot Ditto messaged us hours earlier saying he had already been to the site and there was waay too much fog to appropriately capture us. He came up with 3 nearby back up options. We were disappointed but grateful he had already scoped out the area and had a excellent backup options. We are totally obssessed with out backup options. Ditto is FLEXIBLE. Fastforward to our signing ceremony which ended up replacing our wedding for this year. Ditto showed up and captured our event so beautifully. We ended up requesting more time impromptu and Ditto totally let us do that! Ditto is FAST, we got up to 300 wedding photos both times within 3-4 days after our event which after talking with some other friends who also hired photographers - is lightening speed That's all to say we plan on hiring Ditto for every major life event from here on out. He's incredible! Fastforward to our actual in person wedding which Ditto also captured and OUTDID himself!!!! He's incredibly gifted/talented, kind, professional. Almost feel like he's family now since he's captured SO many of our special moments so BRILLIANTLY AND BEAUTIFULLY! read more

Ditto Photography - Session Photography Near Me

Ditto is incredibly talented and a pleasure to work with and we are ecstatic about the final photos! We had him shoot our engagement and wedding photos. He made us feel at ease for all the photos and we loved the poses he suggested. His second shooter, Vanessa, was also excellent and helped our wedding day photos go smoothly and efficiently. Ditto went above and beyond and came extra early to our venue because it was his first time there. Ditto met all the delivery estimates for the photos.We appreciated the quick turnaround on a set of sneak peek pictures so we could send them to friends shortly after.  Ditto was our favorite vendor to work with and gave us complete confidence from the first time we did a video chat all the way through to our wedding day. We look forward to working with him in the future and highly recommend him! read more

I got married at San Francisco City Hall and had Ditto as my photographer. He did an absolutely phenomenal job. Prior to getting married, I looked at many different photographers. What set Ditto apart from the rest is that he had a lot of San Francisco City Hall wedding photographs in his portfolio and his shots looked candid, organic, genuine, and warm. So it was clear he had a lot of experience with SF City Hall weddings. This truly showed on our wedding day as we completely maximized the number of photos we took at the city hall. He knew all the best places to take pictures, directed on all the different poses, but also overall was just really pleasant to be around. What touched my heart was the amount of energy and effort Ditto put into making my day special. He understood how important it was that my pictures turn out perfect and he put extra work to make custom edits to my photographs to ensure they came out to my liking. A truly kind person and a talented photographer. I am so grateful to have met him and to have had him capture our special day. Thank you Ditto!!! read more

I know the world has bigger problems, like COVID-19, but I was saddened to hear that all my plans for a summer wedding were postponed. In that moment, I felt fear, anxiety, and stress flood over and I thought to myself, how are we going to get through this? Then came Ditto. He's been amazing through it all. This review is prior to the actual wedding, but I felt that he deserved credit even before the wedding even happens. He is professional, down-to-earth, accommodating, and genuine. This is the type of person you should look for in a friendor (vendor). He has been quick to respond (literally minutes) to my messages, and my panic literally melted away. I recommend Ditto to anyone and everyone who is thinking about doing an engagement shoot, city hall wedding, and wedding. Seriously, just look at his work and you'd want to book him. I honestly can't wait to celebrate our wedding day with someone we feel so comfortable with. read more

Ditto and Danya were amazing at our 50-person outdoor ceremony/indoor reception wedding. Ditto was very responsive throughout the planning process, giving us advice for flowers, and clarifying our vision for the wedding. Ditto and Danya were at the venue early, had the shot list ready to go -- when we got our portraits taken at a nearby park (~5 mins walk from the venue), we were tight on time, but Ditto did a genius job setting us up in great poses with our 1 foot height difference, and made sure we were back in time for the ceremony. The two also took a lot of great pictures of our guests, and everyone was impressed by how they seemed to capture the best expressions of everyone. I think every person who was at our wedding was in a photo at least 3 times. Even with the busy wedding season, Ditto delivered us the gallery on time (4 weeks after the wedding). We love looking at the nearly 1000 photos in the gallery; he did not miss any moments. Looking at the picture feels like reliving the wedding once again. We are so glad we chose Ditto as our photographer, and recommend him to all our friends. read more

Ditto shot our engagement session and captured our Oct. 2021 wedding and we are so happy we got to work with him! Ditto was patient and helpful in guiding us for amazing shots with each other & loved ones and he captured so many special moments & details of the day. He arrived early, was very communicative via email/text, and even gave us a mini sneak peek to both our sessions! We felt absolutely assured with him as our photographer and, while the wedding day flew by, we'll be cherishing our photos forever. Thank you, Ditto! read more

Wow wow wow! If I could give Ditto more than 5 stars, I would! This will be a long review as I have so much to rave about Ditto and everything he did for us. He truly made our day go smoothly and was there for every big and small moment to capture it. I found Ditto after browsing aimlessly on IG and stumbled upon his profile. I was so impressed with his pictures and the vibes/feels I got from them that I contacted him almost immediately. He was quick to respond and we made arrangement to meet up shortly after. He showed us his portfolios from the weddings he'd completed before and we were blown away by the quality. We knew he was the one and booked him about a week later :). When we set up our engagement photoshoot, Ditto gave us a lot of suggestions on locations, and he was so thoughtful to let us know of the minor details that we may not have thought of such as sun set time, poses to consider, etc. He was patient, understanding, and very flexible with us. And, we got our pictures 2-3 days after the shoot! Crazy fast! I don't know how he did it, but he's a wizard! On our wedding day, Ditto and Corinna were there for us. They did ABOVE AND BEYOND to make us feel comfortable and help the day go by smoothly. He was calm, understanding, easygoing, so friendly, and very professional. He had the day schedule and picture list printed out to help us stay organized, and even kindly reminded us of our next thing on the schedule. In a way, I felt like he was also our coordinator :). Although we had agreed to 8 hours, he definitely was there a lot longer than that to capture every moment and every detail. Corinna, Ditto's second shooter, matches his personality and style so perfectly. Together, they made us feel comfortable, at ease, and were so helpful! And again, Ditto delivered! We got our sneak preview pics a couple of days after the wedding and got our portfolio in less than a month. Seriously, I don't know how he does it! The best part is, the pictures all turned out amazing and we got so many compliments on them :). Also, I forgot to mention that a week before the wedding, Ditto met with us at the venue to scout out locations for pictures as he was aware of our concerns re our venue. We got married on a college campus (CSM) which is not the most romantic looking/sounding, traditional venue at all. He yet somehow made it look nothing like a college campus :). If you're looking for a talented photographer/artist who is also truly passionate about his work and will go above and beyond, Ditto is the guy for ya!! read more

Ditto did an amazing job as our photographer, capturing both our engagement photos as well as photos of our big day. We booked him on relatively short notice after a bit of a snafu with our original photographer and are so happy that we did. We first employed his services on a sort of trial-basis for a set of engagement photos. We were immediately in love with the results of the shoot and booked him for our wedding with great confidence. He was also competitively priced, which is always nice when expenses can add up so fast during wedding planning. Come the big day, he did not disappoint! The photos were truly incredible and he delivered them super fast (within about a month). Looking at the photos he took truly brings my wife and I a lot of joy and makes us excited to show them off to family and friends. read more

I wish I could give Ditto more than 5 stars! Ditto and Vivian shot both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. I couldn't be more pleased with our experience. They really went above and beyond what I expected. I searched for WEEKS looking for a photographer that shot in the style I wanted (natural lighting, dreamy, romantic style) and always came up with photographers that were way out of our budget. I came across an ad from Ditto on Craigslist by accident while I was searching for wedding supplies and immediately knew I had found our photographer. Ditto's style was exactly what I was looking for, and his price range very reasonable for the Bay Area. Engagement: We had our engagement shoot about 7 months before the wedding and selected a location in the Bay Area (Sunol Wilderness). Ditto spent three hours with us wandering around the park through several dress changes. Neither my now-husband or I have much experience modeling in front of a camera, but Ditto had us laughing easily, and made us feel completely comfortable being ourselves. He had great ideas for poses and modeling us, and was very excited to work with our own ideas as well. The photos were absolutely dreamy, and we got so many compliments on them! Wedding: Ditto and Vivian met with us twice (once before our engagement shoot, and once before the wedding) and really took the time to get to know us, our style, and the type of wedding we were hosting. They arrived at our hotel for "getting ready" photos, and then worked their tails off during the wedding, staying the entire time to get perfect shots. They even had a fun instant Polaroid type camera to take photos with at the wedding and give to our guests (who loved it!). They somehow ended up being everywhere all at once, and so we have about 1000 photos from our special day. I should also mention that Ditto shoots with both a digital and film camera. It's rare to find photographers nowadays that shoot with film -- and the film photos are so beautiful. The natural lighting really comes through and the photos look more genuine and artsy than the digitals. I'll definitely be recommending Ditto to my friends! read more

Ditto is truly an artist and managed to capture the magic we felt on our wedding day. From the very moment we got in touch he was so courteous and adapting, and made sure we were happy and confident throughout the entire process! On our wedding day he was so calm to be around and was able to capture all of the important moments from our day both big and small. We just got our pictures back (we got them back SO FAST!) and we are speechless, they look like a true fairytale through Ditto's lens. We cannot recommend Ditto enough as an incredible photographer and strong edition to your vendor team! Thank you Ditto! read more

Let me start with this: If you want to be able to relive your big day over and over whenever you want, Ditto is your man. Professional, passionate, calm, punctual, discrete, attention to detail... Just a few ways to describe how amazing Ditto is. His prices are also beyond reasonable. I first asked Ditto to capture our surprise engagement, and boy did he deliver! My wife and I were so impressed with our engagement shoot that there was no doubt in our minds that we wanted him to capture our big day. We met with Ditto and his wife Vivian to go over details. We actually changed our ceremony start time because he had the know-all to look up when the sunset would be on our day and be sure that he could capture plenty of sunset pictures. Again... attention to detail. Ditto calmly came in on our big day and we talked about specific photos and poses that Wife and I wanted. He stepped back and took in all the moments with his photos. He also came with some basic props while also grabbing "elements" from the venue, like leaves, flowers, etc. He incorporated them in such a way that really highlighted the venue and made it that much more personal. Ditto caught every. single. moment. of our day. He was completely engaged and took photos when we didn't even know he was there! Wife and I were reminiscing before getting our photos saying, "wow remember that? I really hope someone got that on camera!". Guess who did... Ditto!! His photos literally bring the night back to life and he caught so much emotion in just snaps of his camera. For photo viewing, Ditto provides a personalized website to view the photos. He also provides package and "a la carte" deals that range from just the website to prints to a BEAUTIFUL book in a keepsake box. Wife and I are really considering the book, and honestly wish we would've gone with it from the beginning. Without a doubt - if we ever have an event that we want to capture in photos, DITTO will be there! We are so grateful for him and his talent. read more

Ditto was our photographer for our wedding. He was punctual, professional, amazing, courteous, and adapts to his surrounding. Although he had agreed to 8 hours he definitely beyond that because he wanted to photograph all of our important moments. He definitely went above and beyond and far exceeded our expectations. I definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for an awesome local photographer who is passionate about capturing those special moments. read more

Working with Ditto was a wonderful dream. His photo quality is obviously world class. Prior to hiring Ditto, we met with him over coffee. Even though he's located across the bay, he willingly met with us near our home. We chatted about logistics, he answered all our questions and we got to know each other a bit. We really liked our chat, so we promptly signed the contract and paid the deposit online. In spring, we reached out to Ditto to book the included engagement 2hr photo session. We agreed to meet him in the afternoon at Point Reyes Station and carpool the rest of the way to the Cypress Tree Tunnel. Unfortunately Bay Area Friday traffic was much heavier than we anticipated and it made us 45 minutes late to our meet up. We message him throughout our drive to apologize and give updated ETAs. Ditto was super nice about it and we were so thankful. During the photoshoot Ditto gave us good modeling directions and kept it comfortable and fun which we also really appreciated since we'd never done a photoshoot like this before. We sent him a mobile tip to show our appreciation for his time and professional services. To our surprise Ditto sent us the finished pictures within a week. About a week before our wedding, Ditto informed us that our second photographer changed. He, of course, vouched the new photographer and after all was said and done we think she did a good job. Our wedding was a full day summer event in Newcastle CA. We started the day with traditional Chinese Door Games and a Tea Ceremony. Ditto showed up a little early to scout the venue and despite not scheduling him to shoot that part of the day, he offered to anyway. We took lunch and our MUA arrived and began with the bridesmaids and mothers. Ditto's second photographer, Bianca, arrived and began taking photos. Ditto brought his stamp, ribbons, and picked beautiful flowers from our venue for the detail shots. We offered them both lunch and vendor meals for dinner. We took bridal party and first look photos, each photographer with either the bride or groom. When it was time for the ceremony processional, Ditto and Bianca took their places. During the ceremony, we barely noticed them. During cocktail hour, they shot photos of all configurations of the bridal party and each family side and went to snap photos of our guests. Ditto previously sent us an example wedding day agenda, complete with photo op suggestions. One of his recommendations was photos at sunset which we decided to try. We had to sneak away during dinner, but these turned out to be some of our favorite photos. As the night wound down, Ditto took pictures of our 1st dances, the cake cutting, bouquet and garter tosses and guest dancing. Ditto ended up staying longer than we booked him for to get all of the classic shots. Ditto sent us a sneak preview the day after our wedding! And within a few weeks, he sent us the finalized wedding photos and they were truly amazing! Our family and friends loved them and many of our guests commented on the outstanding quality of the photos. We thanked him for everything and tipped again. We highly recommend Ditto. He is a photographer who truly enjoys capturing everything beautiful at your wedding! read more

Ditto is amazing! Great photographer, hardworking, easy going, friendly and accommodating personality! His work is like art, very romantic and natural, I'm so glad to have him capture my wedding on July 28th! He did an amazing job with our engagement photos, I referred him to my sister to book Him for her daughter's upcoming birthday party. If you haven't found a photographer for your special event yet, don't hesitate with Ditto! Thanks Ditto! read more

It was important to my husband and me that we felt connected to our wedding vendors, and that they genuinely care about their clients. From the moment we met Ditto, we basically had our mind made up. He turned out to be the one and only photographer we met in person; after inquiring online with a handful of other photographers, we made up our mind to go with Ditto simply because he was so easy going, genuine, and professional. When we told Ditto we wanted our engagement session to be done at Mount Diablo, he let us know he had not been there before but was open to doing some research on the best spots. Indeed he did, and it turned out to be such a fun day! My husband and I are not necessarily "picture people," so we were worried we wouldn't know how to pose or look natural, but Ditto guided us from the get-go. It was fun chatting and getting to know him as well, and our e-session solidified our choice of hiring him as our photographer. We received the edited engagement pictures in just one short week! On the day of our wedding, Ditto showed up much earlier than agreed upon, and got straight to work. He kept a smile on his face throughout the entire day, and without him knowing it, he actually calmed my nerves throughout the day, especially when I was starting to feel stressed out at one point. I really appreciated that he was adamant that we took pictures up the hill at our venue (he knew of a secret spot and made sure we captured a few photos up there amidst our busy schedule that day). And, as expected from him, we received our edited photos in just one short month following our wedding! Kevin and I are planning to hire Ditto again in the future for other sessions/events. Thank you for capturing our special day, and we are so happy to have the memories captured on camera to last a lifetime. read more

I'm so glad we found Ditto & Vivian to photograph our wedding. Ditto was really communicative from the start, always replying to emails promptly and making sure all our questions were answered. We set up an engagement shoot with them in April and they had suggestions for locations that they scouted out ahead of time so the actual shoot was really quick and easy. Ditto & Vivian are really friendly, easygoing, and made us feel comfortable during the shoot, and they had all of our photos ready the very next day. It was the same story on our wedding day. Ditto & Vivian arrived exactly when we'd scheduled, and had already scouted out locations around the venue that would work for photos at different times of day. They grabbed us water when we got thirsty, helped us walk over rocks and grassy pathways, and yet still managed to melt into the background so they could capture really natural shots of us. We woke up the next morning to an email from Ditto saying he'd already set up a sneak peek of our photos, with at least 40 really beautiful shots from throughout the day. All this, and they charged probably $1,000 less than the other photographers we contacted. I couldn't be happier with hiring Ditto & Vivian! read more

We requested for Ditto's Photography services for our September 2017 wedding and we are glad that we did! My wife and I interviewed more than a few photographers and decided to move forward with Ditto based on his portfolio, straightforward pricing, and responsiveness. Ditto and Vivian not only took photographs on our wedding day, but also took our engagement photos. My wife and I felt a bit awkward modeling/posing on our first engagement shoot, but Ditto and Vivian made us feel at ease. We ended up having a blast! On the day of the wedding, Ditto and Vivian showed their expertise, efficiency, and patience. We rented an Airbnb for a limited period, so there was only a small window of opportunity to take "first look" and "preparation" photos. Sure enough Ditto walked the entire party and relatives through our poses. When we were packed up and leaving the Airbnb, I requested Ditto to take a particular shot of me and he happily obliged! I truly appreciate how Ditto and Vivian covered all the angles and knew exactly where to take our photos on both Airbnb and Church property. This saved us precious time and allowed us to appreciate the moment. ..And the engagement + wedding photos turned out amazing! Looking back, I wouldn't have done anything different. Thank you Ditto and Vivian. You two were shining stars on our special day :] read more

Simply put, Ditto did an absolute perfect job for our wedding on June 5th, 2015! First of all, Ditto and Vivian were completely a joy to meet in person months in advance before our big date. They went out of their way to thoroughly understand the unique settings we had for both our ceremony and reception. As we had a completely urban setting in San Francisco, it was important to thoroughly run through all the features we wanted to the 5 minute increment, and Ditto had no problem leading this process to success. Just to give an idea of how Ditto and Vivian exceeded in their special encapsulation of our lifetime moment: -Full pre-ceremony shoot in a private chapel with over 100 perfect shots -Constant, stunning captures throughout our 2 hour, Catholic Wedding Mass in North Beach -Field shots at Lombard Street, Pier 39, Cable Cars, and a full shoot at the Palace of Fine Arts with all of our wedding parities -Complete coverage at our reception at the St. Francis Yacht Club, including pre-reception decoration set up, grand entrances, table by table, night time shoot by the beach, and all of the fun activities -Ditto and Vivian even remained after the reception to take extra pictures we wanted with guests towards the end of the evening. There was no time that we didn't have them capturing each incredible moment! And if you can imagine, this was just the beginning as Ditto used his magic in post production to give us a tremendous variety of picture styles, effects, and portrayals that truly told the story of a new lifetime together. Words cannot fully describe the gratitude we have for Ditto's work. We will recommend any of our family, friends, and colleagues to embark on a great journey with Ditto to gracefully memorialize your special day. Thank you Ditto and Vivian! read more

We were so glad that we chose ditto to be our wedding photographer. He was easy to work with, punctual, professional. I and my husband are not very good at posing. However, ditto guided us through the entire time. He was very patient. I also like the way he delivers the wedding album! It was so organized and professional. All in all, you will not regret having him in your big day! read more

Flexible, courteous, speedy and a great knack for bringing out the beauty in any surrounding. My wife and I worked with Ditto this past year for both our engagement shoot and 7/21/18 wedding (& his assistant, Vivian). His work & professionalism have been impressive, which is why we wanted to write this review as soon as possible! Ditto & Vivian are very easy going, both communicate well and are really receptive to the elements in a photo that clients want. Ditto is very quick to provide preview shots for the engagement and wedding-- we already have a large number of wonderful preview shots from our wedding that was just 3 days ago! We are absolutely ecstatic about them and everyone who has seen them have already complimented how beautiful they are and what an amazing job Ditto and Vivian did. Initially, my wife did not want Ditto and Vivian to follow her back to her parent's home where she would change into her wedding dress-- she thought there wasn't going to be anywhere nice to shoot in the house. Luckily, our planner convinced her to just let them follow her along and they worked their magic. Ditto and Vivian turned her parent's dried out backyard into a beautiful rustic backdrop-- both parent's couldn't believe it! Their pictures that are magical, vibrant and full of life and emotion! If you're searching for a photographer, stop looking because Ditto & Vivian are the team you need & want! read more

We just had our engagement photo shoot in downtown San Francisco with Ditto. It was freezing cold but Ditto still made it fun. Here is why I gave him five stars: Ditto replied quickly to our emails. He scouted out the area on his own time before the shoot. He is a funny personable guy and made us laugh during our photo shoot, so we didn't have to fake any smiles. He cleverly brought along his assistant Felix. Ditto has lots of ideas on different looks and locations. He knows how to pose us so the shot is flattering. He knows how to use his big cameras but most of all: HE TAKES GREAT PICTURES!!! We are so impressed with him we are going to hire him to do our wedding photography also. read more

Ditto was our wedding photographer and we absolutely love all of the photos he took for us! His bright and natural style was exactly what we were looking for. We met with Ditto a few months before the wedding to discuss details, scheduling, and expectations. He took the time to get to know us, our story, and wanted to make sure he met our vision and needs for the wedding. He was professional and suggested his recommendations, yet allowed for collaboration and took into consideration our preferences. He went to check out the venue site on his own before our wedding day to scout out the location, get ideas for shots, and be prepared on the day of. On our wedding day, Ditto came early to set up and brought everything he needed, including props for still photos. He already had in mind suggestions of photo locations for the getting ready, bridal party, first look, couple, and family photos, which was great! We didn't have to think too much about what to do, how to pose, or where to go. He also had a second shooter with him, Corinna, who was really friendly, flexible, and fun, yet professional. Ditto and Corinna were so easy to work with and we enjoyed spending time with them on our special day. They were also really flexible and accommodating with our unexpected weather conditions. They were still happy to take us outside for our photo sessions despite the rain, wind, mud, and cold. They were willing to do whatever to capture the best photos possible for us. Ditto had a sneak peek album ready to share with us just a few days after, and the rest of the photos were available for us just nearly a month after our wedding even after he gave us the warning that they would come a little later due to his prearranged travel plans. We would definitely recommend Ditto Dianto Photography for all your wedding photography needs! read more

The perfect photographer is hard to find - someone who not only matches the photography style you are looking for, but also is a personality match, and fits your wedding budget. We discovered Ditto through finding his beautiful work online, and quickly set up a meeting with him to chat in person. Now we may be biased, but we can't think of a more professional and awesome wedding photographer. We worked with Ditto for the past year for both our engagement photos and wedding photos. He responded to all our questions promptly, returned photos at the speed of light (seriously, how did you edit thousands of photos in just a few short weeks!), and was a pleasure to work with over the last year. In the midst of wedding planning, there are a million things that can stress you out. We never once stressed about our photos, and trusted Ditto to deliver memories that we'll cherish for a lifetime. We highly recommend Ditto - you will be lucky to work with him for your wedding/engagement photos! Let the photos speak for themselves! read more

Ditto is amazing! We love his style and completely trusted him to photograph our engagement shoot and wedding day. He met with us at our venue several times to scope out the best angles and lighting. He is extremely quick and sent us some photos within a few days. Ditto is talented and very hardworking, super responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommended! read more

Ditto did an AMAZING job photographing our elopement/zoom wedding during COVID19, and delivered quickly after the wedding! ALL of my friends & family have commented (enviously) about how beautiful *all* of the photos are when I shared the full album, and more than a few noted that they paid multiple times what we did at much longer (pre-covid) weddings with other photographers and only got one (or in some cases no) photos that they really loved. It took a few hours for us to choose which photos to print for our photocards because we had so many excellent choices. Thanks, Ditto! read more

We are so happy we booked with Ditto for our wedding this September! After looking at his portfolio online, we loved his style of photography - soft, romantic, and light. We met with Ditto and Vivian in person before deciding to book. They were both so nice and easy to get along with! Their easygoing personalities made them fun to have around on our wedding day. Leading up to the wedding, Ditto made sure to visit the venue beforehand so he was knowledgeable about the lighting and where we wanted to take pictures. On the day of the wedding, Ditto and Vivian showed up promptly and got straight to work. They captured some "getting ready" photos, our first look, bridal party photos, then the ceremony and reception. They also patiently worked with our huge extended families for family pictures after the ceremony (thank you)!! We've only received our sneak peek photos, but they are AMAZING. The two of them somehow managed to be everywhere at once and captured some beautiful candid photos - but they also blended in and were not intrusive at all! Ditto and Vivian captured our emotions in every photo. My husband and I are NOT great at taking posed photos, but even those turned out gorgeous thanks to Ditto and Vivian putting us at ease and directing us on where/how to pose. For our budget, I was worried we wouldn't be able to afford a photographer that I was happy with. We are so lucky to have found Ditto, and for the high quality of photos, we can't believe the prices are so low. Book them right now - you will not regret it!! read more

Ditto was awesome he did our engagement photos and wedding photos. He is super talented and very relaxing to be around. Since I'm a dude and have never really had pictures taken of me on this type of scale. Ditto and Felix did an amazing job. The quality of picture, and the camera he used was top notch for sure. We just got our Photo album that he made for us and it was absolutely amazing. He delivered it to our house and just really cares about his clients and passionate about what he does. If your looking for a great photographer to capture those special moments, he's your guy. Im sure my wife Amanda will post as well and share some pictures to show just the kind of work this guy does. Don't think twice about hiring him you'll regret it. read more

Could not have picked a better photographer for our wedding day!! We (including all our guests) absolutely love all of the photos he took for us! He got to our place early to take pictures of the details shots. He was so prepared and even brought his own props! He even helped us positions the wedding dress and the bridal party dresses. I had some of the ideas that I wanted for my wedding in mind and he was really open and happy to try them out and made it work for me. Our wedding reception was at a Chinese Restaurant, which was super dark and old looking, but all the pictures in there came out so bright and light. Our ceremony was at a church and he even went there a few days before the wedding to look for spots for pictures. He even sent pictures of the spots to me since I said that I have never been there before. It was super hot and sunny on the day of the wedding but he walked around the church ground trying to find spots that would look good in the pictures and avoid the harsh shadows from the sun for us. I told him that I had a "good side" and he made sure to position me on my "good side" in the pictures! I wanted a walking out with sparklers shot but our reception was not outdoors so he did it next to the reception building for us and the pictures turned out so great! He worked with what we got and made it look 100x better in the pictures! He also delivered us the pictures of us and the guests at the backdrop super fast so that we can send out our thank you cards as soon as possible! Ditto really went above and beyond for my wedding photos and I would recommend him to anybody! read more

Ditto and Vivian just shot our wedding this past April. They were extremely easy to communicate with prior to the wedding. The went above and beyond in order to provide great pictures for us. They scouted out the locations that we wanted to go to before the wedding, they attended our rehearsal at the venue so that they were prepared the day of. On our wedding day they arrived to take getting ready photos, first look, and pre ceremony pictures with us and our families. Ditto is one of the few photographers that still works with film which gives a entirely different look than digital. It was great to have that extra feature. We would recommend Ditto and Vivian for any event/wedding. read more
