Long overdue on a long review (our wedding was in June haha), but wanted to share about our experience with Pure Devotion. The team, Eric and Connie, is great - they're super sweet and passionate people. They offer a broad selection of services for you to mix and match depending on your needs, so if you are an overwhelmed couple like we were, then this is perfect for you :) We used them for videography, flowers and props, lighting, and photobooth. Videography: Eric handles all the videography and photography, and he's very knowledgeable about his craft. We were a little on the fence when we first started looking for a videographer (we didn't know if we could justify spending thousands of dollars for a short video), but Eric was very no pressure and just happily showed us samples of his work. He patiently made sure he understood what we were looking for, we ended up going with the "cinematic" style 4K highlight video (~3 minutes long). On the wedding day he showed up with 3 assistants and a drone to capture all the footage. It took roughly 3 months to get the video link and he mails a USB with the remaining raw footage. He went the extra mile and helped us edit the raw footage as well so that it was watchable and not a jumble of clips. Flowers: Connie did an amazing job with the flowers. I just sent her pictures of what I wanted, we discussed which flowers were important to have, and she delivered beautiful bouquets, aisle pedestals, guest table decor, and the dining centerpieces. I actually wanted taller centerpiece vases than what she had in inventory and she went out and got some! Flowers looked fresh and great through the night. We also had her help us with draping background for our garden setting. She went out to the site to make sure the draping would work and checked in with me before making adjustments day of. She kindly stayed through the ceremony to help move the flowers to the reception area afterwards. She has a ton of props in the studio, so don't forget to ask her what you want to rent! Lighting: We rented uplights to put up around the room. They also have pin lights and other fancy lights. The uplights were technically fine but I think we had missed communication on the color, so check beforehand :( Photobooth: Unfortunately can't recommend this service. Supposed to be backdrop with props manned by an attendant that prints out the photos. Camera ended up being unattended, photos mostly blurry/out of focus. Thank you, team! Couldn't have done it without you! read more

See all

Connie and Eric did a phenomenal job at our wedding; they were a "one stop shop" for us. They had beautiful decorations/lighting and backdrops at our banquet, great floral arrangements and bouquets, a great DJ, and a great photo booth. They were very responsive to our e-mails and texts and went over and beyond to ensure a smooth wedding! Eric was very flexible to our last minute requests on backdrop design and photo booth strips. Connie spent a lot of time with us the week of our wedding to tie up loose ends. They are a great team! I highly recommend Pure Devotions to anyone looking for wedding services. It's much more easier than going to multiple vendors. Thank you, Connie and Eric for making our wedding run smoothly! read more

Our Wedding took place mid Nov this year. We went with Eric the brilliant photographer and his team for both pre-wedding photo session and wedding day photos. We also worked with Connie on outfits rental and decorations. Every encounter with them are warm and professional. Eric and his team are very experienced wedding photographers and they are in the business to make every shot perfect. The finished photo results were also delivered to us on schedule, giving us ample time to make slide shows and order prints for displays. Connie was very patient through the entire dressing picking and fitting process. Everything she set up for us was gorgeous, from backdrop setting, to reception desk decor, to main table setting. We are highly satisfied with both experiences and would recommend them to anyone. Can't wait to see the wedding day photo album which I am sure will be spectacular! Thanks again Eric & Connie for making our wedding so pretty and memorable. read more

Thank you, Pure Devotion, for providing such great wedding services ( lighting, music, flowers, decorations, videography) and making our wedding day a beautiful occasion for us. Your work is truly beyond the expectations. After countless meetings and discussions we are more like family and friends. Our wedding day would not be complete and successful without your support and love. Looking forward to see our wedding video!! Mr and Mrs Jason Lin read more

Our wedding took place 3 months ago. Our wedding video turns out just stunning. Everyone loves it!! A lot of my friends said it was the best wedding video they've ever seen. It was short but content, very meaningful and touching. Eric and his team did an excellent job! We didn't expect much as it was a once in a lifetime thing. You actually wouldn't know what to expect really. We just rolled the day and let his team do their job. Eric is very pleasant and professional to work with. His team did a great job capturing the moments. Our wedding day was highlighted in a short 4 minute clip, which is very easy to share and view. The pricing was fair and reasonable. It's all worthwhile. We'll definitely come back in the future! read more

Pure Devotion did the excellent job for our wedding in Napa. Connie was my florist and my wedding coordinator. She did her best to find the flowers I like and the flowers and decorations were so lovely. Eric was my photographer and the photos are great as these were beautifully captured. read more

I had a phenomenal experience with Pure Devotion. Eric was very patient to go over the details and the pricing is beyond reasonable. Eric, Connie and the crew are very professional. I am more than pleased with the qualify of services and products. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for engagement photos and wedding services. read more

Eric recently did a family photo shoot for us. We are a family with some active young kids, so I'm sure we were a handful for Eric. However, he worked with all of us very well, was very patient, and made it fun for the kids to keep them engaged. We are really happy with the way the photos turned out. Eric knows how to make his subjects look good in how he positions them and his capture of light was beautiful. Many thanks to Eric for his hard work and we definitely recommend him 110%! read more

Had Eric and his team ( Johnny & Connie) for my pre wedding and wedding day. Excellent service! Great team! One company has all wedding services. Save a lot of my timespecial thanks their floral servicethanks Connie and all her decorations! read more

Pure Devotions and their staff are truly amazing. Getting marry involves a lot of preparation and planning. I can't imagine going through this wedding ordeal without getting professional help. The wedding staffs - Connie and Eric were friendly, understanding and patient with what my wants and needs are. I work with them on the services that I need - Lighting, Makeup, Wedding Gown Rental, Photography and etc. What works best is that they run a full stop wedding service business. With their help, I didn't have to go through the hassle with different vendors. Pure Devotions, you guys ROCK. I would totally recommend this company to all my friends. read more

I had a one-hour family portrait session with Eric, which he generously donated to my children's school as an auction item. Eric is responsive, patient and skilled. He captured great moments of my entire family including two young children and a puppy. We all enjoyed the shoot and loved the pictures. Thanks Eric!!! read more

Our 1st Yelp review! Had to give this business a glowing recommendation b/c of the wonderful job they did with our wedding. We were referred to Eric by our friends, whose wedding he also photographed. After getting in touch, we found out that Eric works with a bunch of people who do flowers, decor, dress rentals, makeup/hair, etc. I wish we had found them earlier, to save us all that time talking with different vendors. Eric gave us a very reasonable quote for shooting our wedding (it was a 12-hour day, I imagine his arm must've been falling off toward the end). And he also brought along an assistant to second shoot. We got the pictures back within 2 weeks and had such a good time looking thru them. The two photographers not only did a spectacular job shooting portraits and us with our guests, they also captured a lot of in-the-moment shots and detailed shots that we weren't able to see on that day. Almost like reliving the day thru the photographer's eyes. Connie did our wedding flowers, and they turned out even better than I imagined (and I'm quite hard to please when it comes to wedding details-- just ask my husband). She attentively listens to what you want, and was very good about communicating and sending pictures to see what you like. And she was flexible even to our day-before requests. So many of our guests complimented the arrangements, my bouquet, everything. Connie and her assistant worked tirelessly to set up, freshen up the flowers, and move the arrangements to our reception venue. It was about 100 degrees in the sun, but they got everything done quickly on their own. She's the best kind of wedding vendor-- because she asks all the necessary questions beforehand, then on that day, you hardly even see her, she already knows exactly what to do. Pure Devotion gets a 5-star review from us because they not only did a good job on our wedding, they spent time to get to know us, chatted with us, offered advice & encouragement along the way. They've seen countless weddings so they know what works and what doesn't. Everyone here was a joy to work with, and very professional. Our wedding went quite smoothly, which in no small part was because of Eric & Connie. We highly recommend them! Thanks for everything! read more

We give our highest recommendation to Pure Devotion! They were outstanding! Eric was very responsive by email and phone and SO thoughtful in getting to know us and making a video that reflected our style! He and Connie drove a long way to meet with my partner and me. They asked about how we met, what music we like, what we value, what style we like. It was so fun meeting with them. They are both very personable, warm and engaging. On the day of the event, Eric was joined by Jeff, who was also super sweet. They were fantastic! They had this way of being in all the right places at the right time and capturing the important moments on film but never getting in the way or being distracting. We loved all their angles and artistic styling (like shifting the focus from foreground to background and vice versa in certain shots). They are definitely pros! They also used the drone which gave the video a lovely cinematic feel and was just so fun! The highlight video moved us to tears and we watched it about 10+ times in the first day. It captured so many of our favorite moments from our wedding day and was edited together so beautifully. The music was spot on, and so many friends and family have said that the video is very "us." :) Thank you so much, Eric and team! We can't thank you enough! We look forward to viewing the raw footage, which they said they will send us shortly. Yay! read more

Eric was my videographer for my wedding two years ago, he is such a down to earth guy. We be came friend in no time, he has a artistic spirit, he can always capture moments in a way that other ppl can't think abt. Still remember, when he tried to put an engagement video together for me, he told me that we don't have a good story line and might not have enough video clips to make a good one, at that moment, I knew he is telling me the truth in a professional perspective, I trusted him and told him that just make a pictures slide show for me instead. But ended up, he put the pictures and the video clips that we had and made a picture+video clips= engagement video for me which came out so perfect and shows the whole journey of me and my husband from how we start dating till we became engaged. The 1st time when I see the video, it brought me in tears, it was unexpectedly amazing. Two year pass by, and I am expecting. 1st person came to my mind is Eric, to do the maternity shooting. It was amazing. Can't wait to have him capture my little one when she makes her appearance to the world read more

I was looking for a photo booth to be a part of my daughter's 1st birthday party. I've been to many weddings with a photo booth and thought the kids would enjoy it at the birthday party. I looked at pricing for many wedding vendors and they were all out of my budget. My friend recommended that I inquire with Pure Devotion. Their price was very reasonable and so I decided to hire them. We rented a rec hall. When time came to decorating for the party, I was told that we can't tape anything on the walls. WTH?!? My friend made a banner and everything! Pure Devotion was kind enough to let us use their back drop to hang the birthday banner. So glad that they were so equipped! Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the photo booth with lots of props. The booth was automated; photos were great quality and printed quickly. Eric also sent me a link to download digital copies for myself! Super professional people who are easy to work it. read more

I am a DIY type of person/bride. I would like to save money as money as possible. We all know how much planning a wedding cost and it's not cheap. I was planning to do my own flowers/centerpieces for our wedding but later on realized that I just don't have the time to do everything. I consulted Connie about my floral ideas. I told her exactly what I wanted and my budget. I have a very expensive taste but Connie was so kind to work with my budget and deliver what I really wanted. On our wedding day, Connie made my vision into a reality! I was in total awe of how beautiful our ceremony isle and centerpieces looked! It was absolutely beyond my expectations. She really designed everything the way I wanted it to be and made our wedding looked so elegant and perfect! Lasty, I cannot thank Jessica enough (my day of wedding coordinator) for doing such an amazing job for coordinating the whole set-up of our wedding! Pure devotion Team did such an amazing job with our floral decorations and wedding coordination. You guys are simply amazing! Thank you for everything that you did to make our wedding absolutely perfect! read more

They did my Photography for my wedding. I highly recommend them. Not only did they take over 1000 photos they also had them ready for pick up in under 3 weeks! I had Kevin and Frances for my wedding and they both did a great job. I highly recommend using Kevin! Eric has great costumer service when you meet to sign the contract and when you pick up your photos. Thanks so much. read more

We worked with Eric as our videographer for our wedding on Aug. 1st, 2015. Eric was wonderful to work with -- he was professional, responsive and simply easy to work with. We met with him and thoroughly talked about our package before signing the contract. The pricing was very reasonable and Eric was very detailed in explaining what was included in our package. We originally agreed on having 2 videographers including Eric himself for our wedding day, but Eric was generous enough to offer 3 videographers in total in order to capture more angles on our big day. Pure Devotion and their whole team worked seamless in the background on our wedding day -- they captured the moments without being intrusive. They definitely delivered everything that was promised in the package and more -- thank you to the entire team of Pure Devotion for capturing our day! Special thanks to Eric for his great communication, going above and beyond in all our requests and simply being a great vendor who I did not need to worry about! read more

An unbelievable overwhelm experience with Pure Devotion wedding photography studio! An eye catching design studio from inside out! Best Quality results and professional photographers! Your pictures taking for any occasions is highly recommended at Pure Devotion! Thanks to Eric and Connie and the assistant 's help to made me experienced an 5 stars satisfaction at this photo and video studio! read more

I highly recommend Pure Devotion. I had my wedding last month in Nestldown, Eric was my video photographer, Connie was my florist. Not only they were very talent artists, but also they were really really professionals. Connie has really good taste, she always knows what the bride need, and consulted me good ideas. I also really appreciate Eric because his fantastic works, he also brought 3 assistant camera guys on my wedding day, these guys shoot very efficiently, professional, such an excellent team work. One more thing I would like to share with you guys, both Eric and Connie, also other Pure Devotion staffs, they are really nice people, they think for the customers, try their 100% to help out customers have an impressive wedding, a gorgeous memory! Thanks a lot, Pure Devotion! read more

I got married last November. Eric was my videographer. I love, love, love our video cause he had taken some drome shots, and many other memorable beautiful shoots. The price was very reasonable for my engagement, highlighted, and long version video. I showed my engagement video at my reception and my guests gave the video a 10/10. I am very happy that I had choose the right videographer. I love my wedding photos too. 10/10 for photos by Pure Devotion team! Connie was my florist. I love her work! With the money I spent, I think it is well worth it cause with her flower arrangements she had transformed my reception to be exceptionally beautiful. My theme colors were pink/ white/ green. The arrangements looked perfect on the vase that she choose. Connie and her team were there to set up the flowers at my ceremony and reception so I was worried free. Thanks to P.D. Team, especially Eric, for helping at my wedding! Horary, Woohoo!! read more

Pure Devotion took our wedding photo two years ago and the team did an amazing job. We recently had a baby girl so we went back to Pure Devotion for a family photo shoot. The done an excellent job. We love our family photos! It was fun! read more

What I would say about Eric are easygoing, patient, responsible and professional. We are happy to share our moment of happiness with him.

This is one of the best wedding planning company that I worked with. The stuffs are super attentive and friendly, which made the entire wedding experience smooth and easy. read more

Eric and his team are fantastic. I am not artistic but Eric coordinated and took charge when needed. He took on the spot recommendations and made sure we took the most memorable pictures. I would highly recommend Pure Devotion. read more

We are so glad we made an excellent choice for our wedding day photographer and videographer. Eric and his team are fun, energetic and professional. They gave us the best memory of the most important day in our life. We did a lot of research when it comes to hire the right person for video and photo because these are the record for the beginning of our husband and wife journey together. After we checked their work on the website and talked to Eric in person, we decide to go with him because he listened to what we want and design our own theme for us. We like him using the camera to express it in an artistic way. After we got their work, we are amazed. Because of them, when we look back later, all the laughter and sweet moments will still seem like yesterday. read more

My sister recommended Pure Devotion because she went to school with Connie. I was skeptical at first, but knew I will be in good hands after meeting Connie and Eric in person. Connie was very helpful especially at our engagement photo shoot, she was practically my personal assistant! We had photography, videography, and floral arrangements from PD. They offer a 12-hour package which was really good for those who has a tea ceremony on their wedding day. The over-time charge was quite reasonable, and on the day of, Eric and his team even stayed a little past the 15-hour mark! The bouquets and boutonnieres were also so creative and pretty! I loved my cake decoration, just the way I visioned it, simple but elegant. The morning of our wedding was crazy hectic, and Eric approached me to apologize if he had missed anything important. Of course, I told him that it is not his fault. Also, I am sure that whatever he and the team did capture will be great! Thank you, PD! read more

Loved my wedding video, definitely worth the price. Eric was very nice and he did more than asked, and we didn't even notice him there during the wedding. It was all perfect! read more

Eric and Connie were referred to me by my friend who had them as their photographer. They were extremely friendly and helpful! I had a very limited budget and they did their best to help me out. I was unable to use Connie as my florist but I really loved the designs that she came up with for my wedding. We had Eric as the videographer and Eric Fok as our photographer. We also did our engagement pictures with them and they were great! As we only had a few weeks left before our wedding, Eric rushed to get the pictures ready and got enlarged photos for us as well. All in all, I would recommend Pure Devotion! You guys are great! read more

We had Eric as our videographer and it was an excellent choice for our wedding! Eric is very professional and knows what he is doing. He has a background in TV productions, so he knows how to use the best techniques to shoot the best videos. He is also very friendly and makes it a very fun environment even when they are cameras in your face. He brought along an assistant and both were very patient and detailed. Eric shot our entire day from the early morning tea ceremony to the last dance. He even helped us take some photos too! Eric was able to deliver a highlight video to us within a month! Now we have beautiful videos to remember our special day. We highly recommend Eric at Pure Devotion! read more

Great experience. Eric and his team is very professional. They even extended the session for us to a nearby pier after finishing all three locations. And the pictures come out awesome! read more

Absolutely Amazing ! Eric and his team are incredible. They were sweating their asses off...running, bending, moving every step of the way to get the best shots...and they didn't miss a single moment. The final photos and videos were everything we hoped for, we have our wedding moments locked in forever with absolutely no complaints. AND he breaks down what he's doing, why he's doing things a certain way, and provides you so many options, never thought it was that detailed, but he made it simple and easy to understand...just so knowledgeable and professional, it was way to easy to just relax and trust his work....the man and his team deserve 10 stars, just thrilled to have had this experience. Pure Devotion, we'll be back...can't thank you enough. read more

I am writing this and it is only day 2 after my wedding! I met Connie just 6-7 weeks before the wedding and wanted her to be the day of wedding coordinator, she helped me through out the weeks before the wedding with everything I needed. She was always willing to help even with last minute things. Connie also did the back drape and the up lights for my wedding which were amazing and I was so happy with, I just wish I had a picture at this time to go with my review but this is an early review. Beside her amazing job comes her calm personality that made me feel there is some one in control and I don't have to be nervous as a bride if anything goes wrong. Another super important thing to point out that her prices are very reasonable comparing to what others offered, weddings are expansive so this is what adds to my experience with Pure Devotion ladies Connie and Eunice. During my reception, they were always there trying to see if I needed anything, help with the dress and making sure everyone was happy, they solved issues that came up last minutes before I learn about them. I highly recommend Pure Devotion, I honesty don't think I would be able to do it without their help. Thank you so much for getting me the steamer and the box, all what was missing with no fees or anything! read more
