    Jenny P.

    We loved working with Inspired By Studio! They did a wonderful job for both our engagement session and wedding. These guys are so down to earth and make you feel comfortable being on camera. I don't consider myself a photogenic person, but I was able to laugh and smile and really enjoy the process. Thien, Eric, and Dave are extremely talented and love their craft. You can tell they spend a lot of time editing and choosing their best work to share with clients. They're also willing to create unique experiences for couples. For our engagement photos, we wanted to do something out of the ordinary, so we created a cardboard car and went to various locations to "park" and take photos. It was such a fun day that we'll never forget. On our wedding day, we had second shooters that were also fun and easy to work with. Especially with the pandemic this year, we appreciate how accommodating and understanding they've been. We had to reschedule our wedding date, but that didn't stop them from providing us the best experience possible. They captured our special day flawlessly and we're so happy with how everything turned out. They're professional, a joy to be around, and deliver amazing results! If you're looking for a photography and/or videography team to document your wedding or any special event, you won't be disappointed with Inspired By Studio.

    The team at Inspired by Studio were absolutely a pleasure to work with for our elopement and wedding shoot. From the initial consultation to day-of, Thien and Eric created an incredibly comfortable, personable, yet professional ambience. Thien and Eric were also very accommodating and generous. For instance, our elopement shoot required some coordination and hiking. Even though we hit a few snags, Eric took everything in stride and proceeded with a huge smile on his face. His photo-journalistic vibe definitely captured the emotions and actions of the day. The photos quite vibrantly relive those moments. Eric and Thien also made our wedding very special. They were the eyes I wish I had! There were so many different things going on during the day so it has been amazing to look through the photos and experience the ceremony and reception through different perspectives. I particularly love being able to see our guests having fun and enjoying themselves. Thank you Inspired by Studio--we are so glad to have worked with you.

    This is a very delayed review. I don't even know where to start. Inspired By Studio did everything and even more to make our wedding extra memorable. They went beyond our expectations. When my husband and I were looking for wedding photography, we saw Inspired By Studio's work. Their photos were truly breathtaking. We loved their vision and their style especially the way they played with the colors/sunlight. What really caught our attention is that each and every picture told a story. We felt like we were able to connect with the people in the photo. We worked with Eric and Thien for photography for our engagement and wedding session (though definitely recommend their videography if it is within the budget). They were extremely helpful during both sessions, making sure we stay on time and helping us carry our things. Most importantly, Eric and Thien were able to get us comfortable in front of the camera. Since our wedding was still during Covid lockdown, Eric and Thien were really understanding with date change and change of location on the actual wedding day. Unfortunately, we had to change our first look location due to the beach being unavailable; however, Thien and Michelle were able to find an even better place for us! At our wedding, they worked over time taking photos for us nonstop. Throughout the whole process, we communicated on what we wanted and what we preferred. Inspired by was very responsive and made sure they captured pictures we hoped for. We waited for about 3 months after our wedding to get our photos, so we didn't send out our a thank you cards along with the pictures until then. The wait was worth it. Our photos turned out amazing. We are extremely happy we picked them for our special day and definitely recommend them!

    Inspired By Studio was such a joy to work with for our wedding and we cannot recommend them enough! Eric, Dave, and Thien were highly professional while also making sure that we had fun on the day. They made us feel comfortable right away and made us laugh a lot, which came out in our photos and video. The three of them communicated well with us, advising on slight adjustments to the timeline to ensure my husband and I got plenty of couple photos while getting to spend time with our guests during cocktail hour. They went above and beyond with taking great pictures of our guests at different parts of our wedding. The team is incredibly talented and we were blown away by our final wedding photos, highlight video, and documentary video. They captured everything we hoped for and more. Their photo and video editing is done so tastefully and they truly put so much care into their work. If you're looking for a photography and videography studio for any occasion, don't look any further--book Inspired By Studio!

    This team has become like family to us! Eric, Dave, and Thien have been with us every step of the way-- from our proposal (Eric literally hid in bushes to keep it a surprise!), to our engagement photoshoot, to our wedding weekend (they accommodated us to fly in early for the rehearsal dinner, pool party, and the wedding-- yes they will fly out of state!) and we keep on coming back to them... my husband and I are now pregnant and reaching out to plan a maternity photoshoot! Besides talent and professionalism which you obviously look for in any photographer, you have to look for people who you feel *comfortable* with. I'd hate to go all out with a professional photographer, only to look stiff and unnatural! This team of 3 has all 3, and we loved our photos each and every time they got them back to us in a timely manner. I should also mention their video editing is amazing! We got the wedding video highlights, which was about 8 minutes, and I gotta admit I watch it every so often because of how beautifully done it was. It doesn't take that long to pull at the heart strings with their editing talents! The video was elegant, fun, and left us smiling and teary-eyed. I'm so glad they got to be a part of our big day!

    See all

He was responsive, easy/straightforward to work with, made us feel comfortable during the shoot and was very personable. I really appreciate his easy going personality and he made us feel comfortable during photos and gave us really good poses/pointers. I loved that he would show us little snippets during the shoot to show us how the photos were turning out as well. He was so kind, friendly, professional and all the great things you want in a photographer capturing your special moments. I believe he finalized edits and sends within 3-4 weeks and I can't wait to see. Bonus was that he sent over more than 10 sneak-peaks within 24 hours!!! This was so awesome and we were able to use right away to announce our marriage. All in all, so impressed with Justin. He's a gem and I'm looking forward to continue using him for our future shoots!!

My husband greatly appreciated Justin's recommendations for photo ideas. For our wedding, Justin and his second photographer were nothing short of amazing. Justin was able to use the venues spaces very creatively and effectively--I was very impressed with Justin's ability to stage us and our family and wedding party without having seen the venues before. The photos made me appreciate the venues in ways I had not thought of. Justin was able to turn around two photographers' and 10 hours worth of photos in 2 weeks. We were very impressed! Justin has a way of making people feel comfortable. That was true of my husband and me, as well as our wedding parties and families. The end result was amazing photos that we love, and our friends and family have told us look great. We are so happy we got to work with Justin and his team!

    Looking for a photographer to capture your big moments, who makes you feel comfortable and beyond…read moreeasy to work with ? You have to work with Toanven Photography because you will not regret it at all and get everything you want and more!! Toan and team are the absolute very best - worked directly with Toan, Martin, Trieu, and Michael and all very professional and super easy to get along with! We used Toanven photography for our engagement photoshoot / pre wedding , church wedding ceremony at St.Jarlath Catholic Church and civil wedding at Nella terra cellars. Also used their videography services which was also really great. When looking for a photographer , we wanted to make sure that our photographer is easy going, can help guide us and has experience with our venue. I discovered Toanven photography because my best friend used their services for her wedding and after finding out Toan had lots of experience at Nella Terra we knew we had to meet him. On our first zoom call Toan was beyond welcoming and excited which made us excited. He made us laugh, made us comfortable and answered all of our questions and broke down the whole process. Before the wedding Toan helped us better plan our timeline for photos and took his time to understand what were the "must have photos". He gave us alternatives on how we can still get pictures with others and saving time. His advice on a family shot list was super helpful as well. On wedding day Toan was just the person I needed around me with all the craziness of wedding day. His personality bring calmness and he is quick to think if a photo location doesn't work well for the lighting - he found better positioning and areas for the photos the look flawless. Beyond helpful when it came to posing, how to stand , where to look and capture all the right angles. Lastly, Depending on the package you go for, you will get a set number of edits photos and our photos were so amazing it was hard to reach the number of edits we can use. That says a lot about how the quality of the photos are and how they already shine! So reach out to Toanven photography, I promise you will love every moment!

Came through his studio by Branham & Almaden and instantly felt like I was in good hands. Super chill, calm, and professional -- no ego, just pure passion for what he does. He's insanely dialed in with angles, lighting, and composition. The way he sets up shots and makes small adjustments shows how much detail he pays attention to. Nothing feels rushed, everything feels intentional. What really stands out is how comfortable he makes you feel in front of the camera. He gives clear direction without overdoing it, and somehow brings out your best look naturally. His eye for detail is next level -- from posture to shadows to background, he doesn't miss. You can tell he's someone who takes pride in his work and actually cares about delivering high-quality results, not just "getting the shot." The final photos came out clean, sharp, and professional -- honestly exceeded expectations. If you want someone who's skilled, patient, creative, and genuinely invested in making you look good, Toanvenphotography is it. Bay Area hidden gem for sure. Highly recommend.

Ted was very responsive and we were able to book an appointment for the following week (we took a day off in the middle of the week). We also decided to do the add on for family and pets. I LOVE that there's an option to include our furry family members! As much as I tried to plan ahead and get to the studio in time that day, my baby decided to fight his nap that morning. He eventually fell asleep.. but way too close to the time we had to leave. I reached out to Ted ASAP to ask if there was flexibility to push the photoshoot back a bit so my baby could take an hour nap so he's less likely to be fussy during the photoshoot. He had another scheduled shoot after ours but was flexible for us to come a bit later than scheduled which I was very grateful for! When we got to the studio, the cake smash background was already set up! The studio was so clean! There was a room for us to change the baby and put all our stuff in - there was also a changing table and diaper pail in there! Ted and his assistant were so great with our dogs and baby! They were patient and knew how to get our baby to laugh and look at the camera. There were a few times where I was ready to give up because handling a baby and two dogs for a photoshoot was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be! Ted was so patient with them and continuing to try his best to take the perfect shot for us. I really appreciated that because there were some amazing photos we would have missed out on if not for Ted! Cleanup was super easy - we brought wipes to wipe our baby down and then took him to the bathroom to do a quick rinse before leaving. I was surprised that we got our proof gallery two days later! The unedited proof gallery pictures were honestly high quality and I would not have known they were unedited if they didn't tell me! We received our edited photos 2 weeks later. I was so happy with the fast turnaround time! I asked Ted if he could fix my hair in the family pictures and he was able to do so for me (thank you!!). I'd absolutely come back for another photoshoot in the future and would highly recommend Tangram!

With her seven years of experience, I could tell my newborn was in good hands right away. Her patience and ability to work with newborn babies is truly a talent! Prior to meeting, I had communicated with Michelle on Yelp and inquired her different packages, then signed a contract and paid a $50 deposit. Everything was pretty smooth and easy. The three packages are on her website, either basic, signature, or premium, and we went with the middle package - the signature, which was perfect for us. The middle package had 4 poses, swaddled, family included, and we received 50 photos! Fast forward to photoshoot morning - we followed directions to have baby fed and changed into a diaper by the time of her arrival. My son was 13 days old when she took photos in our home. She came with her props, accessories, and baskets all prepared! Michelle also brought a sound machine that had white noise playing to soothe the baby. She swaddled my son and every photo pose/ setup increased in difficulty but she was really patient and worked with my son who almost was so fussy he'd wake! I enjoyed that she brought different colors for swaddles and blankets and various types of hats for us to choose from. Furthermore, if you're like me and your home is a mess, don't worry! Michelle will make it work and she will decide which room has the best lighting for her photos. She'll need about 5ftx5ft of space at least! Michelle delivered our gallery in a blink of an eye. Literally got an email about images being ready within 3 days of the shoot. I loved every image!! My son had baby acne and dry skin peeling at the time and she let me know that if I chose 10 photos, she would retouch them and she did! Overall my husband and I are loving our photos and highly recommend Michelle. You will NOT be disappointed. I'm so thrilled I have beautiful images of my son captured when he was only two weeks old. Memories to last a lifetime! Thanks Michelle!
