The best experience that I could have had in my photo shoot thank you Hector for capturing that very special day for me 100% recommended. I really appreciate you

Hector and his team are amazing. He truly is a master of his craft as a photographer. Hector took his time to answer all our questions from our initial meeting with him, before the wedding, and after when we were selecting our final pictures for our wedding album. Hector and his team are not only professional but friendly and communicative, which made us and our family feel comfortable when taking pictures the day of the wedding. Especially with our Spanish speaking family members. He captured our special day perfectly and the final pictures were breathtaking. We are so happy that we selected Hector as our photographer and we will cherish our beautiful wedding pictures forever!

We contracted with Hector for my wedding and I have to say, he was incredible! The professionalism and respect he has for his art are very clear. I really appreciated his charisma and charm throughout the day, not only with the bride and groom (me and my hubby), but with all of our family and friends. In a day that is as joyous as it is stressful, he kept his cool (on one of the hottest days of the year) in order for us to just enjoy our celebration. The photographs were incredible as well. Again, this is someone who truly loves and respects his craft. He has an artistic vision and he 100% delivers! We received our printed wedding portrait and photo albums yesterday. I couldn't wait to put it up on my wall, I was so excited. The quality of the proto albums is excellent as well. Hector pays close attention to even the smallest details, and it shows as he has received multiple awards for his work.

Hector is an extremely talented photographer. He made sure to capture me in the best angles to make sure to make me look my best. He is extremely professional and made me feel comfortable as we worked together. I would absolutely work with him again and refer him to my friends and family.

Hector Gurrola has provided us with amazing engagement and wedding photographs! From the beginning of meeting him in person, he felt like family, and was very friendly and professional. He was also able to work with us during the pandemic with all of our wedding changes. Hector also pays attention to details, and makes you feel very comfortable through all the nervous moments. Thanks to him we are able to look at our pictures and re-live both of our weddings. The moments capture will last a lifetime! I am so glad we chose him for our wedding and engagement!! Will continue to hire him for our future events. Thank you H.G.

Hector is an artist and visionary. Being in front of the camera is not a natural or comfortable moment for me, but Hector made magic happen. As I look at these photos, I didn't even recognize the shy person I usually am when the camera comes out. Thank you Hector for your professionalism, ability to direct and cue me at the right moments, as well as capture me at my best without difficulty. I highly recommend Hector and he is worth every penny!

We loved having hector as our photographer for our engagement and wedding pictures. He did an amazing job

Our wedding

My wife and I got married this past 4th of July. After 5 minutes of meeting with Hector, we knew he was the one. We both felt very at ease with him, in what can be an overwhelming process. Hector and his team were very professional and a pleasure to work with. They were very receptive to all of our requests. His team was with us from start to finish. They coordinated well with our DJ and wedding planner. It made for a stress free wedding. We are more than pleased with the finished product. We absolutely love both engagement photos and our wedding album. He's truly an artist. I highly recommend him. These are memories that we will have for a lifetime.

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!

From the beginning, Emil was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. Neither of us is particularly used to being in front of the camera, but he made the experience comfortable and natural. On our wedding day, he did a wonderful job capturing not only the important moments, but also so many candid shots of our family and friends genuinely enjoying themselves. Looking through the finished gallery and seeing how happy everyone looked brought back so many great memories from the day. We also really appreciated how accommodating Emil was with the specific photos and ideas we wanted to capture, while still using his own experience and creativity throughout the day. We ended up with so many beautiful photos that we'll be able to look back on for years to come. We're very grateful to Emil for helping us document such an important time in our lives and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding or special event.

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.

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!

After seeing the quality of her setup and the fun it brought to guests, I knew I wanted to work with her. From the very beginning, D'Arcy was amazing. We started planning weeks in advance, discussing backgrounds and design ideas. I shared my vision with her, and she brought it to life beautifully. Her communication throughout the process was prompt, professional, and reassuring--she was always quick to respond and very easy to work with.
