We could not have asked for a better photographer and videographer team than Passion Studio. Raymond, the head photographer, was so easy to work with from the very beginning and really took the time to remember our names, including the names of our wedding party, which meant so much to us. Our photography and videography package included an engagement shoot, and when we first saw those photos, we immediately knew we made the right choice. The engagement photos came out so amazing that it made us even more excited to see how our wedding day would be captured. Raymond and his team truly went above and beyond on our wedding day. They were there from the very beginning, starting with our Chinese and Vietnamese tea ceremonies, and stayed all the way through the reception and dance floor. Every team member had such a clear vision for what to capture, and they absolutely delivered. One thing we really appreciated was that Raymond knew exactly when to step in and direct our wedding party and family members during photos. Weddings can get chaotic, especially with a large group, but he helped everyone remember what to do, kept things moving, and spoke up when needed. If someone was being a little too much or things started getting overwhelming, Raymond made sure we were still getting the photos and moments we wanted. That meant so much to us and made us feel really taken care of throughout the day. The Passion Studio team captured every part of the day so beautifully, and the photos and videos were everything we asked for and more. We were especially blown away by our wedding video. The way everything flowed together was perfect, and we loved how they included meaningful moments from our officiant, vows, speeches, and all the little details throughout the day. Watching it really felt like reliving our wedding all over again. I honestly expected the turnaround time to be longer, but Raymond shared our photos and videos with us within three weeks, and we were so happy with the results. It is very obvious that Raymond takes his work seriously and is truly passionate about what he does. We will cherish these photos and videos forever and highly recommend Raymond and his team to anyone looking for a photographer and videographer who are talented, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely care about their couples. They exceeded every expectation, and we are truly grateful we chose them to capture such an important day in our lives..
We want to extend our deepest thanks to Raymond, Bang, and the entire Passion team for giving us such an incredible experience--both during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day! We first met Raymond for our engagement session, and we had so much fun. He made us feel at ease, captured the sweetest candid moments, and delivered a gallery of photos we absolutely love. On our wedding day, we worked with Bang and the rest of the team, and they were just as amazing. They documented every moment beautifully--both in photos and video--and helped us and our wedding party feel comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely enjoy the whole process. We truly can't thank the Passion team enough for all their hard work and the memories they captured for us. We've been replaying our highlight video and looking through our photos nonstop!
Raymond and everyone on his team exceeded our expectations. Leading up to the wedding, Raymond was a good communicator. He set up calls whenever needed and addressed my many (and very specific) questions with solutions or ideas. During our entire wedding day, they made me, my girls, and our entire wedding party feel comfortable, keeping the energy light, fun, and natural. And because their team was big, they were able to split up and capture every moment throughout the day, even when we were in different locations. Their team was incredibly kind, thoughtful, respectful, professional... and even made us laugh! The turnaround time was also amazing. We left for our honeymoon the day after the wedding, and we were already receiving photos within a couple of weeks, far faster than what we've seen from other teams. Not only were they fast, but the photos were beautiful! Our wedding day was one of the best days of our lives - we're so grateful we have these memories to look back on, and we have Raymond and his team to thank for that! I recommend Passion Studios to anyone looking for a hardworking and genuinely enjoyable team to work with!
We eloped with just the two of us and Raymond made it look and feel like the most epic love story ever told. Our photos are absolutely cinematic and stunning beyond words - every emotion, every tender moment, perfectly captured. We are completely obsessed. Whether you're having a huge wedding, a small ceremony, or running off to elope like we did, BOOK RAYMOND. It doesn't matter what your day looks like - he will make it beautiful. Hands down the best investment we made. You will not regret it for a single second
Raymond and his team were great. Passion Studio made our special day even more memorable by capturing beautiful moments for us to look back on. Like all weddings, the day felt chaotic and fast-paced at times, but Passion kept up with us and made sure we had the breaks we needed. They kept things fun and easygoing while offering helpful guidance for posing. Communication was consistent throughout, and the delivery of our photos and video was both quick and beautifully done.
My now husband and I originally worked with Passion Studios as a bridesmaid and groomsman for our close friends' wedding back in 2023. I remember everyone on the team being so professional, creative, fun and easy to work with. So when it was time for our own wedding this year, there was no other team we wanted to hire to capture our big day! Passion Studios captured beautiful details, moments, and highlights from our wedding that we appreciate and will cherish forever. Their creative eye and ability to work with our unique event space was amazing to witness. We appreciated their open and prompt communication throughout our wedding day and also afterwards. They were patient and understanding with all our requests in edits of certain photos, song versions, and wedding clips we wanted for our photo gallery and wedding videos. Raymond and everyone at Passion Studios are true professionals with a warm and positive vibe! You not only see but also feel that they really love love, and do an amazing job capturing it. We highly recommend them to capture your upcoming milestones and once in a lifetime events! -The Del Pozos
Working with Passion Studio has been nothing short of amazing! I worked with Raymond and his team on two separate occasions: a friend's wedding and my own wedding! We loved the team so much that we had to book them for our wedding. I had a Vietnamese/ Chinese wedding, which included the tea ceremony in the morning. As many of you know, Vietnamese weddings tend to be an all day thing!! The team worked effortlessly throughout the entire day, and making sure we had all the photos and videos of any moment!! A pro on working with passion studio is that they speak Vietnamese!!! All the cousins and aunties loved their enthusiasm and the team was the best hype men!! They directed all the confused family members on where to go and how to pose. This made a tremendous difference in our photos. Overall, I highly recommend this team!!
Raymond, Bang, and their team do not disappoint! If you're trying to find a photographer/videographer for your wedding, look no further. They answered any and all questions we had, helped us out with our timeline, and truly were the experts. Bang came on our wedding day with an extra person, which we were so grateful for. And Raymond had our photos back so quickly, and he surprised us with a highlight reel as well! The pictures and highlight reel were stunning. They captured our day in the most beautiful way. Their team is super sweet and super fun. Bang made sure we were able to step away to get private pictures done and it was honestly one of the highlights of our day. Our only regret is not booking them for longer, and we already had them for 9 hours! We are grateful to have such beautiful memories to look back on. Thank you, Passion Studios!
My husband and I booked with Raymond for our elopement at SF City Hall. It was such a fantastic experience and I highly recommend booking him for any wedding ceremony, big or small. It's very obvious that he knows SF city hall so well and he found all the best photo spots. He was so good at helping us pose too!! I'm so in love with all of our photos, they are so beyond my expectations!
We booked passion studios for our wedding on March 1st! Everything about our experience was 10/10. Starting with the complimentary engagement shoot with Bang. My husband and I didn't really know how to pose for pictures but Bang guided us and helped us with each picture he took. He even took the time to get to know us, so when it came to our wedding day we were both already comfortable with him. Of course the pictures turned out amazing. On our wedding day, Bang and everyone on the team were very professional, respectful, and knew exactly what they were doing. They took so many pictures and every single one we loved. Along with photography, I requested for a 6 minute highlight video of our wedding day. They went above and beyond with a video that captured our day perfectly and even sent us a longer video with more footage in it. Overall, If you're looking for a photographer and videographer I highly recommend passion studios! Not only do they take beautiful pictures and videos but they are also really easy to work with! Which is definitely what you need on your wedding day!
I hired Passion Studio Photography for our recent wedding, and they did not disappoint. We did both the engagement photos and wedding photos with them. I highly recommend doing this so you get used to having someone take your picture and posing you. It's a little awkward if you have never done it before, and they make it very comfortable and fun. I'm an anxious, awkward person, so it was nice to know what to expect the day of. Raymond was with us for our engagement shoot, and he really helped settle our nervousness. Even though we were still awkward, he was able to catch beautiful photos. He recommended the Davis Arboretum for photos and it was such a wonderful choice for us. The day of, we had Bang and a second photographer for the day. They were there catching every important moment and had great suggestions on where to take pictures and how to pose us. The photos turned out beautifully. I am so happy. We got a wedding album, and I was shocked at how high quality the leather album was. It was incredible. I highly recommend them for your special moments and days. They're fantastic!
We booked Passion Studio for our wedding reception on Saturday, October 5th, 2024 after not quite vibing with the photographer we booked for our engagement shoot. Our first conversation was with Raymond, who was really easy to talk to and he patiently answered all of our questions. Bang, Raymond's partner, took over as our lead photographer and even though we only met briefly, he was super easy to talk to and work with. We had an amazing experience with them and wanted to highlight some points of the day that really stuck out to us. Starting at our hotel, the team showed up promptly at 12:00pm. We were actually surprised to see them so early that we weren't even getting ready yet lol. They then split us up to do our getting ready pictures and video shots with the bride getting ready in the room with her sister-in-law and niece, and the groom getting ready in the hotel lobby with his brother. These photos and video shots were so fun to do! They were incredibly professional the entire time and clearly had a plan going into this. The groom was doing trick shots on the pool table and getting debonair pictures by the hotel bar, while the bride was getting 5-star treatment in her getting ready photos in the room. The day started out really strong and we were pleased so far. We arrived at Saratoga Springs about 2 hours before the event was to start to do our photoshoot. The photography team had been here before, which was why we picked them, but it was clear they had a sequence of events and planned this out very well. We took photos and videos all around the venue, with classic shots on the bridge, the arches, by the creek, and in the forest area. The hardest part of taking photos is not knowing how to pose, what to do with our bodies or hands, but they made us feel very comfortable. We re-read our vows for the video and that was a blast. We had props like a giant sword (our theme was LOTR) and other accessories that were highlighted really well in our photos and videos. Throughout the event, we were so surprised. They weren't just taking photos, they almost acted like part of the wedding coordinator team. They helped direct traffic to what events were happening, knowing exactly where to set up lights and what parts of the event were happening when. It was like our wedding coordinator team doubled in size, and every single thing we could have asked for was granted and executed without flaw by Bang and his team. We were extremely happy and impressed with their performance and professionalism. He even correctly pinned the groom's boutonniere when the florist and wedding coordinator couldn't due to the thickness of the flower stems. Although we would have loved a sneak peak, surprisingly, within two weeks of our reception, we received our full gallery of 1000+ photos! It has been absolutely wonderful reliving that magical night through the captured memories. 10/10 and we highly recommend them for your big event's photography and videography.
Passion Studios is an absolute must! They were incredibly professional, organized, and friendly throughout the entire process. We had Raymond as our main photographer for both our engagement photoshoot and our wedding, and both experiences were amazing. Raymond made us feel comfortable and guided us with ease on the best poses. On our wedding day, the team arrived promptly and got to work right away. They were familiar with our venue, Blanco Urban, as well as the surrounding areas in downtown San Jose, so they knew exactly where to capture the most beautiful shots. They didn't just focus on my wife and me but made sure to capture our guests and the overall vibe of the day. Our family and friends had so many positive things to say about the photos, and we couldn't be happier with the results!

Long overdue review, but in short, Passion Studio is AMAZING!!! I've worked with Raymond and his team twice; the first time with me being a bridesmaid and I was already blown away by their professionalism. We decided to book them for my own wedding 7 months later, and we're so glad we did. They showed up (early) with their crew ready to go, knew exactly what to do and where to go, and gave great guidance to everyone in our wedding parties on how to pose (most of us were pretty awkward in front of the camera). I'm a type A bride who would stress out about a million things on our wedding day, but they are the type of vendors that I trust enough to fully leave the matter in their hands. Shout out to Raymond who went out of his way for us throughout our wedding, and time and time again went the extra mile to make sure everything was captured to perfection. The turnaround time was 3 weeks. We loved our photo album, and all the elderlies were raving about the photos! We're just so grateful for this amazing team and would highly recommend them. Just book- you'll be in good hands. read more

We had an amazing experience with Raymond for our newborn and family photoshoot, and I can't recommend him highly enough! We booked him when our baby was just 3 weeks old, and due to my health condition, he generously offered to come to our home--which made a huge difference for us. From the moment he arrived (30 minutes early, by the way!), he was professional, prepared, and incredibly easy to work with. What really stood out was his patience and expertise with newborns. He gave us plenty of time to feed and change our baby without ever making us feel rushed, and he gently guided us through poses so everything felt natural and comfortable. He clearly knows how to work with families and newborns, which made the entire session smooth and stress-free. And the turnaround time--wow. He delivered beautifully edited photos in less than 12 hours, which is almost unheard of. The images turned out absolutely stunning: natural, soft, and truly captured this special moment in our lives. The online gallery was also very easy to access and download. If you're looking for a reliable, talented, and thoughtful photographer--especially for newborn sessions--Raymond is the one. We're so grateful he helped us capture these precious memories with our first baby. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Raymond is the perfect wedding photographer. He is so versatile and creates the most amazing moments. If you need to be posed, he can do it. If you want candids, natural vibes, he can definitely do that too. Raymond is so professional and easy to work with. He is kind, gentle, and FUN. It was so much fun to be with him, chatting, and taking pictures. It only took a few minutes of chatting for him to know what we were looking for, and for him to COMPLETELY deliver. Raymond took photos over 2 days for us in a custom package as we did a Vietnamese tea ceremony at home, and a wedding reception the next day. He knew how to work with big crowds, he is so adaptable, and always know what our best angle is :). We're so grateful to work with an award-winning professional who made every moment feel beautiful. What is so amazing, is he knows that weddings can feel like a lot, and be so busy. And he still captures the best moments, while calming us down. Every photo feels like the best one, and we could not be happier. Anh Raymond, we're so lucky to have you in our lives!! Let's take pictures again soon. read more

Every single time I have worked with Passion Studio, they have delivered beyond expectations. I have had the pleasure of working with Raymond, Bang, Logan and the rest of the team many times in the past few years and consider them practically like family. The first few times were during my sister's engagement shoot and wedding where I was maid of honor. They are extremely professional but meanwhile still manage to exhibit a warm and friendly aura so that you feel comfortable opening up to them. They are also very good at communicating and guiding the bride and groom in position for those optimal, breathtaking, and romantic shots. All of my sister's photos were amazing so I ended up recommending them to my close friend when she was preparing for her wedding. She ended up booking them for her wedding last year, and she agreed that they were absolutely amazing. So of course when it was my turn to tie the knot, I made it a priority to book them for my engagement shoot and wedding day. I'm really grateful they went above and beyond to capture my desired vision, and my husband and I are extremely satisfied with their results. Now we have the difficult task of choosing which photos to print out and hang in our home because there are way too many beautiful options to choose from. read more
TL;DR - Highly recommend Passion Studios. Very Professional, Above & Beyond, High Quality Service & Product (Photos & Video) We were recommended Passion Studios by a few friends who used them for their weddings. From beginning to end they were not only professional, but super pleasant to work with. I'll try to get into some detail in my review. After submitting an inquiry online, we were asked to set up a meeting. At this meeting we did quick intros and an overview of our wedding, venue, and what we were looking for. They also went over their packages, what they offer, and what to expect. They had many insightful questions that also helped us plan other aspects of our wedding; e.g. timelines. We only had one more call after the initial one and the rest we left in their hands. On the day of the wedding they were on time and had a great energy to them. The team was insanely helpful! Let me dive deeper into this ..... My wedding planner caught COVID, so there was only a replacement she sent in. However, we all know that subs can only do so much as they were not involved with the process, nor did they get to know us through the planning. So when I say insanely helpful, I cannot stress it enough. They were courteous, attentive, respectful, and honestly helped me get through the day. For example, when the ceremony was starting the ribbon was still blocking the entrance to the aisle. Who caught it? Passion Studios! Right when my husband was about to start walking, they noticed it there, ran over to pull it off, and kept recording the ceremony. When I was nervous about things going wrong, Passion Studios jumped in with water and offered kind words to help soothe my thoughts. They also helped with guests. They seriously went above and beyond. And, of course, our video, trailer, and photos came out perfect! They even made us Thank You cards to use! In the end, this team required very little direction on our part, and did an amazing job. Thank you Passion Studios. Xo P.S. Our photos take us back to those beautiful moments. We have watched our trailer and video countless times to relive the day. read more

The number 1 wedding photography and videography team in all of California and the United States! Raymond, Jill, Bang, Logan and the Passion Studio team went way beyond our expectations for our wedding on 10/07/2023! Prior to our wedding, they discussed with us months in advance about our vision, theme, and the schedule of the day in order to obtain the optimal lighting for our pictures. During our wedding, the entire team was punctual and ensured that there were team members divided up to be prepared at different locations to obtain all the photos from preparation to ceremony and the partying. If you are unsure or hesitating to choose a wedding photography team, just look at my photos and their galleria in their website! You will not regret your decision after seeing your wedding pictures and videos taken by Passion Studio! Remember, "a picture is worth a thousand words" and will last a lifetime and beyond! read more

I was first introduced to Passion Studio through my wedding planner (Sushie - Ménage a Trois) and I'm so glad she did!!! My now husband and I met Bang via zoom initially to get a vibe check and immediately we loved his energy and how excited he was when we shared our vision of a k-drama inspired wedding. We immediately booked Passion Studio for photography AND videography! Fast forward, we reached out to them to schedule an engagement session a couple of months before the wedding. They were super responsive and even showed up earlier to scope out the location we chose. Raymond, Bang, there were two more (so sorry but we forgot the names) were our photographers and made us laugh the entire session! Seriously felt like we had been friends before this which made us feel super comfortable posing in front of a camera. Plus, they were so great at guiding us how to pose and laughing so the photos turned out so lovely and just felt very natural. The wedding day came, Bang and the team showed up earlier than the time we planned to meet! They were also super friendly, funny, respectful, and professional all at once! It's extremely important to be able to vibe with your photographers and videographers since you're spending time with them throughout the wedding! From timing, logistics, scheduling - I never once stressed or worries because I knew that I was in good hands. Lastly, we received our photos and videos exactly from when it was promised. WE LOVE OUR WEDDING GALLERY!!! It was everything and more!! They captured beautiful moments, family, friends. Benny and I always talk about how we wish our wedding was longer because we had so much fun. Now we get to relive these moments through photos and videos. We are forever grateful for the team for the hard work, passion, and love that can clearly be shown through their work! Thank you Anh Raymond, Anh Bang and the rest of team for an incredible experience and capturing our love! What are you waiting for? Book Passion Studio Team already!! We highly recommend this amazing team! We would hire them again in a heartbeat! read more
Where to even start?! If you are looking for a photographer and/or videographer, look no further than Raymond, Bang, Logan, and the Passion Studios team. They were the best vendor we worked with for our March 2022 wedding. Consultation: We had our initial consultation with Raymond about one year before our wedding. We spent time with Raymond establishing what kind of theme we were looking for and figured out which photography/videography package would work best for our day. We selected the Diamond Package which included 10 hrs of coverage, edited photos, highlights reel, full feature video of the wedding day, and engagement session with edited photo gallery. Engagement Session: Our package included a 5 hour engagement session and we decided on San Francisco as our photoshoot location. In the prior days leading up the shoot, weather reports showed potential of rain. The team was diligent in keeping track of weather updates and provided us with backup plans in the event that we got rained out. Fortunately, luck was on our side and it was sunny pretty much the whole time we were shooting! Raymond, Bang, and the team did a great job posing us and finding beautiful locations to shoot in. It was an amazing experience and really helped us get comfortable in front of the camera and practice for the wedding day. The turnaround time for our photos was about 3-4 weeks after the photoshoot. Wedding Day: Passion Studios truly delivered the weeks leading up to our wedding and on the actual wedding day. We had multiple meetings with Raymond to establish the wedding timeline and this was crucial to everything running so smoothly. On the day of the wedding, they were punctual, professional, and had everything on lock! They are extremely experienced working Vietnamese weddings and they helped us with time keeping and made sure that we were on schedule. I don't think our wedding would have gone as smoothly if it weren't for them! Gallery/Video: We were amazed how quickly Raymond was able to get our photo gallery and wedding videos back to us! They provided sneak peek photos about 2-3 days after our wedding, and our gallery within 3 months after. We were blown away with how beautifully they captured our wedding day! We truly cannot thank the team enough for their hard work and efforts. 5/5 for Passion Studios. You will not be disappointed! read more

Passion Studio team, led by Raymond, exceeded all of our wedding day, and pre-wedding photography expectations. I booked Raymond for both, our photography and our videography. It has been a year since our wedding. As my husband and I reflect on the most amazing night of our life, we have Raymond and his team to thank for the incredible memories. Here we are, one year later, and I can now confidently tell you that hiring Raymond and his team for our wedding was the best decision we made. They were worth every penny! My husband and I are from two completely different cultures. Raymond and his team made sure that both sides of the family were represented in photos and videos. They captured important parts of both of our cultures, while focusing on us, and our wedding guests as well. His team was well organized, well informed, and most importantly respectful and patient with our elders. The photo and video team was kind and detailed in their approach, and for the video sessions they provided direct instructions and communicated with guests about what needed to be done (speak louder into the microphone, stand here in the light, move away from the loud speakers, etc.) in order to have a good end product. As the bride, there were certain insecurities I have about my appearance, and I am very, very particular about what I wanted to look like in my photos. Raymond listened to me, he asked questions, and was responsive during the planning process. He made sure that my concerns were addressed prior to the wedding. The final product was a set of the most amazing photos and videos any newlywed couple can wish for! That's us in the cover photo!! Look at how happy we are. We have Raymond and his team to thank for making us feel comfortable and at ease. You are probably worried about how this is all going to work out if you hire Raymond. Photo and video are a huge chunk of any wedding budget. But let me put your mind at ease. I guarantee you if you book Raymond for your wedding, you would have wished that all of your vendors produced a quality product that mirrors his. Raymond & team, thank you. From the bottom of our heart, Quoc and I can not thank you enough for your dedication, hard work and professionalism you have shown us. Below is a small snapshot of my favorites from our Vietnamese Tea Ceremony, Serbian Ceremony, and our American wedding. You must book Passion Studios for your big day. You will not regret it. read more

Literally the best! This review is way overdue but we wanted to express our deepest gratitude for the amazing job this team did on our wedding day! Their professionalism, talent, and attention to detail were truly exceptional, and we are beyond thrilled with the photos and videos captured. From the moment they arrived, they made us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. Their creativity, humor and passion for their craft showed in every shot! They managed to capture the essence of our love and joy in a way that exceeded all our expectations. The photos and video we received are not just beautiful memories, but works of art that we will treasure for a lifetime. Thank you Passion Studio for your hard work, dedication, and for going above and beyond to ensure that every moment of our special day was captured perfectly. You are incredibly talented individuals, and we feel so lucky to have had you be a part of our wedding day.

This review is long overdue. I first seen Raymond and his team at my friends wedding and soon after I started spotting them everywhere. After interacting with them, I could see why everyone I knew chose this team and I had to have them for my wedding in 2019. Their work speaks for itself but what's more important is the people behind the cameras! This team are professionals that make sure they get all the moments and the best shots but also so funny and chill to ensure they "stay out" of the way. They have fun with the whole bridal party and will even crack some jokes in between shots to make sure everyone is having a great time and no one feels awkward having cameras pointed at them. Passion is the one vendor I will always recommend when someone ask me for photographers. We even made sure we reached out to them again this year to help us capture the next chapter of our lives as parents. Thanks Raymond and team for helping us capture these moments and we can't wait for our next session with you guys in the future! read more

It has been over 3 years (our wedding day) since we last had a professional Photo-shoot so we were very particular about selecting the right photographer. Passion Studio stood out to us at first due to their 5 stars reviews on Yelp and now we understood why. We were talking to Raymond who gave us a very reasonable quote. We wanted to have the Fall Foliage in our photos and booked Raymond during the Thanksgiving weekend, luckily he was free at that time. Our original date was on a Saturday but unfortunately it was supposed to rain and Raymond was kind enough to rescheduled and took our photos on ThanksGiving day. Raymond even gave us suggestions of what color to wear so that we will "pop" in the photo. Raymond showed up on time the day of the photoshoot and was very professional. We have a German Shepherd and Raymond was doing all kind of tricks to get our pup's attention which I thought was super cute. It has been a while so I wasn't sure what to pose for the pictures and Raymond was able to give me a lot of suggestions on what to do. He was very patient with both of us and our pup. It only took Raymond a few days to turnaround with the finished photos, we had hundreds of pictures to choose from and they were all beautiful! I am planing to do another big family photoshoot with Raymond and I will recommend him to anyone that needs a photographer for any event. I suggest booking Raymond far in advance because his studio is very popular so he will be booked most weekends. read more

I was looking for a team that do both photo and videography for my wedding. Found Passion Studio and it was such a great choice! They arrived hours early to capture any of our get ready pictures, gather items and to set up! They were so professional and enthusiastic team that made me laugh so hard. They did such a great job making sure everyone feels not awkward in front of camera as well. They were able to capture the moments in many different angles and so happy how the results turned out! Thank you SO much Raymond & team for your hard work and amazing results! It was truly an amazing experience. Highly recommend Passion Studio if you want to capture the best moment of your wedding! read more

If you're sitting there still thinking about whether or not Passion Studio is worth the money - they are worth every penny! They are the best group of photographers/videographers you can work with. Like someone commented before, they're not just a vendor - they make you feel like you've known them for a very long time. From their endless compliments to their coaching on how to pose, and even knowing how to do the little stuff like tying a bowtie or bustling a dress (Bang), they're capturing the best parts of your day while doing groomsman/bridesmaid duties! The best hypecrew! We originally planned our wedding for Nov 2020 but due to Covid, we had to postpone. Raymond remained very communicative throughout the whole process and was always willing to answer any questions I had. He was always very reassuring and patient while we tried to navigate through the chaos. The best advice someone gave me during the planning process was that if you can find a company that does both photography and videography, that's the best way to go because of the chemistry and communication they've already built with each other. Having BOTH Raymond and Bang as our photographer and videographer, respectively, was the best decision we made. Just the way they handled themselves and the enthusiasm they displayed, you could feel their Passion, which is so important when you're entrusting them with capturing the best parts of your special day. I had so many people compliment on how well they worked together and how beautiful the photos turned out. We have just received our videos today and it's like living through our day again just the way we remembered it! I can't wait to show them to our friends and family. I look forward to next time we get to work together or just run into each other. Thank you, again, guys! We wouldn't be able to relive our special day without all the beautiful pictures and videos you have provided for us! We 1000000% recommend Passion Studio for all the engaged couples looking for people who will be able to tell your story through their lens. read more

I can't simply put into words how much my wife and I appreciated having Raymond and his team capturing our important day. Raymond exceeded our expectations, delivered awesome photos together with great comments from our guests and family on his professionalism. Raymond not only went above and beyond for the wedding photos but he also made sure we had a great experience throughout the entire process. If you are still looking for your wedding photographer, your research could stop here. read more

It was a such a pleasure working with Passion Studios for our engagement photoshoot and wedding day photography and videography! We didn't have much experience being in front of the camera but the team was very patient talking us through what to do and giving us direction. On the wedding day, they did a fantastic job at keeping everything fun and lighthearted but also on track (I'm talking especially about wrangling all of the family members for the group photos!). Turnaround time was also very prompt - we received both photography and videography results just one month after our wedding day. The photos and video turned out absolutely stunning and we couldn't be more happy with the results! read more

We hired Passion Studios for our last minute wedding and we do not regret it. Raymond, Bang and their entire team are just amazing, sweet and patient!!! The entire process since booking them to the end of our wedding night was flawless. Bang offered to create our acrylic sign and seating chart and the outcome was just perfect. Everyone has their own business schedule; however, they were still very attentive and responsive. Their turn around time was quicker than I expected which is something I'm so grateful for. 10/10 highly recommend; forever keeping them around even for our family photo shoots. read more
