It's been 9 years since I last saw Tam and I was absolutely overjoyed to have him be the primary…read morephotographer for my wedding in mid-January. He has only grown in his craft and truly has a gift for making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. A couple of weeks before the wedding, we walked through a timeline of what we needed and Tam recommended that we tailor our package down from a 10 hour package to an 8 hour one since we wouldn't have getting ready photos, didn't have a bridal party, and opted to just dance the night away once 7 PM hit. I really appreciate that he doesn't shy away from making recommendations based on his experience and what your unique day will look like. The day of, Tam and the second photographer, Mike, were at the AirBnB early and helped my then fiance and I stage a first look photo. We also had an opportunity to take individual photos, photos with his family and also his college friends. Given how rainy the weather was that weekend, I was a little worried, but Tam and Mike were not deterred. They provided multiple options with attention and care paid to making sure my long dress stayed as clean as possible. I was also thankful that they directed us through poses because we definitely had no idea what we were doing, lol. After these initial photos, they met us at the church we were getting married at and took photos of the venue and of my side of the family. During our initial call, I asked Tam about his advice for how to not get our pastor in the first kiss frame. Tam remembered this conversation and made sure to note that to the pastor so that he would be able to get a clean photo. Group photos followed after the ceremony and then they headed to the venue to get cocktail hour shots. Since we didn't have a wedding party, a lot of things were candid. At one point I thought about greeting the tables during dinner but we ended up opting out. I later found out from our guests that Tam and Mike were really proactive and made sure to ask for group shots whenever they could. Before dancing started, Tam and Mike discussed pulling us aside at around 8 PM to head outside into the rain to get some nice photos with clear umbrellas and a strong flash. However, around 8 PM, there was no getting my now husband off the dance floor and we scrapped it. I really appreciate Tam and Mike's flexibility with us and ability to offer suggestions, but also respect how we were feeling at any given point. Before they left, Tam gave me an estimated date of when we'd get photos back which I really appreciated. From start to finish they were a real pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend Tam for weddings, family photos, glam shots, etc.

Tam is the first photographer my husband, Kent, and I have ever worked with together and will…read moredefinitely be our go-to guy for special events that we would like to capture. To give you some background, Kent and I are the kids who had awkward school photos and being the center of attention is not comfortable for us at all! We were apprehensive for our first photo shoot with him- not because of his skill at all (we saw his portfolio and really liked his work before booking). Well, all the worry was for nothing; Tam is super professional and easy to work with. He even coordinated the best time for when the natural light was just right. Super bonus points for being able to capture some great shots of our fur babies- it can be hard to do! We had lots of laughs throughout the whole thing and ended up with loads of beautiful pictures. On top of that, he had the pictures ready that same day. We were looking forward to having him photograph our wedding after this first experience. Once the pandemic hit, Tam was flexible and understanding when we had to change our plans. He worked with us to ensure the best outcomes for everyone. We have heard horror stories about vendors regarding unexpected changes due to Covid-19, and felt SO fortunate to be working with Tam throughout this experience. When our long-awaited wedding day finally came, Tam was a superstar. He was efficient in coordinating the appropriate people and poses. Everything was easy and comfortable, just like our first session. No complaints. Pictures ready the next day! We have recommended him to our dearest friends and family for their weddings, and he will be photographing at least two other weddings we will be a part of. One being my baby brother and future sister-in-law's, in just a few weeks :). If you had any doubts before, I would say, just do it! You will not regret choosing Tam to photograph your special occasion.

He still found ways to take photos and I love how it came out. Would definitely recommend him for all your pet photoshoot needs.

Daniel was wonderful to work with! We planned a simple wedding ceremony at SF City Hall in a short…read moreperiod of time. My fiancée and I knew we had to prioritize the things were important to us, beautiful photos were one of those things. We needed a photographer that was familiar with City Hall and searched online until we found Daniel. We knew he was the right fit when we saw this work and got to exchange a few emails. He was so easy to work with and just understood what we wanted. Daniel was very flexible and adaptable. He was truly tested when found out there was news conference at the foot of the stairs as well as rain, both threw a wrench in our plans but we worked with what we had and it was lovely. We got our photos quickly too. Our friends and family gushed over our photos, they could not believe we found such a good photographer in such a short period of time. I would absolutely recommend Daniel.

I think my wife would be able to give a more detailed account of our interaction with Daniel, but…read morei'll give you the overview. We found Daniel here on Yelp and we went with him over the other photographers because he was easy to get in touch with, nice in person, and we likes his portfolio. When we met him we saw him for the nice and fun guy that he is. It was important for us to feel like we're dealing with a person instead of a stiff robot (if that makes sense). On the wedding day, he was awesome! He directed us very well and even took some specific shots for us. He even put up with all the family and friend pictures after the ceremony haha! We had some issues of losing light (winter marriage) and he decided to take some more pictures at the church before we headed off to the reception area and this turned out to be a GREATA decision since it was very dark soon. Had we waited, those ceremony pictures would have been dark. He had worked at our venue before, so he knew his way around the place and did his thing. I focused on enjoying the moment and making sure my new bride was happy, and Daniel took care of the awesome pictures. We got back all the pictures within a month and my wife went back and forth with him over email to pick some photos to touch up and to re-edit. In the end we were SUPER HAPPY and i would recommend Daniel Hon to anyone. I might recommend against winter weddings though =P unless you give yourself more time to take great pictures with the daylight. THANK YOU DANIEL!

Ken Ngo is an amazing talented photographer!…read more My family and I had the pleasure working with Ken for our family photo session. And I must say, I definitely made the right decision. Having three kids (one newborn) is indeed a challenge for any photographer out there and patience is a must have. Ken made it absolutely easy for us! Prior to the scheduled session he sent a questionnaire for us to complete to get a better understanding of who we are as a family. And right there, is a great first impression for me because it shows that he cares and puts out the effort and time to learn about his customers instead of just scheduling a session without knowing our family. After completing the questionnaire, he came up with ideas on locations, outfits and props for the photo session. How awesome is that??? I have insecurity issues due to the fact of having three kids and recently giving birth to my newborn. I clearly stressed my concerns with Ken and he absolutely made me feel comfortable. During the session - he made it fun for my kids and surprisingly they had a great time! Those who have kids should already know that kids do not like smiling at the camera for more than 5 minutes! After the session, Ken gave us a timeline as to when we will be receiving the images. The final results that I want to share with you all... The images were delivered on a timely manner as promised and they came out BEAUTIFUL and I really mean it!! There was a story behind every moment that was captured. We usually take family photos at least once a year and I've been to many studios and hired many photographers and my experience is nothing compared to Ken Ngo. It's now been 2 months after the session and I'm still in awe with the photos... I will post some to share! Lastly, being a wedding event coordinator - I've worked with many wedding photographers and trust me, Ken Ngo's professionalism is by far in the high standards and his artwork is beautiful. He has a great eye =) He is now my preferred wedding vendor. So, if you're looking for a photographer for any special occasion, business or personal, I highly recommend Ken Ngo. I look forward to working with Ken Ngo on future events =)

So when that time came around when my husband proposed to me I knew I already wanted to hire him as our photographer! We first did a test run with my engagement party, the pictures came out awesome so we decide to book him for our e-session and wedding day. As the wedding day came closer ken kept in contact with me to ensure how my wedding planning was going... which show me how much he cares about his clients. We met a few days prior to the wedding to go over the entire wedding day along with the schedule and what I wanted to get done. The wedding day: ken and Jesse was on time and we're ready to rock and roll! Keep in my I'm Vietnamese and I have a huge family! So everyone and their mama wanted pictures. Ken worked really well ensuring that we're on schedule. Let me note it was pouring cats and dogs after the ceremony and ken was able to improvise very quickly with taking our wedding party pictures because our original location did not have any covering! Needles to say ken is an awesome photographer and I will be booking him again for all the up coming precious moments that will come along in our lives!
