Elmer was very fast with communication and photo review/delivery. Sergio was amazing to work with! He was patient, easy-going, and gave great guidance throughout our wedding shoot. He made us feel comfortable and captured our day beautifully. Highly recommend! read more

Elmer and team were prompt and very professional adjusting the lighting and posing at our wedding. We were reminded to put our hands in pockets if necessary or if hair or something was out of place. They took pictures of the preparation for getting ready at the wedding, and brought us outside when the rain storm subsided to take good pictures. They took pictures of our first dance, our families, and when people gave speeches and of guests. I am glad we selected them as their photos show an edginess and uniqueness that we had not seen with other photographers. read more

I first reached out to TNK Photo about 1.5 months before my courthouse wedding. Elmer promptly provided package pricing and sample galleries, and I really appreciated the transparency about what was included with each option. My partner and I scheduled a video call with him to see if he'd be a good fit. Elmer answered all of our questions and gave us complete confidence that our wedding photography would be in great hands - so we booked him! We chose Package B, which included two photo locations and three 8 × 12 inch enlarged prints. From the start, Elmer was quick and responsive to every email, which gave us peace of mind leading up to the big day. On the wedding day, we met Elmer and his assistant Alexis at the Laguna Hills Civic Center. They guided us seamlessly through the process and helped us feel completely at ease. Elmer was professional, thoughtful in his direction, and posed everyone beautifully. We had sent over some inspiration photos beforehand, and he made sure to capture those along with plenty of natural, candid moments. To our surprise, we received sneak peeks within just six hours, and the photos blew us away -- our family and friends couldn't stop raving about how stunning they were. A little over a week after our wedding, we received the full gallery, and my husband and I honestly struggled to choose just three 8 × 12 enlargements because there were so many favorites. Elmer was communicative, professional, and has an incredible eye for detail. We truly appreciated his work and we highly recommend TNK Photo for your event photo needs. read more

Our venue The Vintage Rose had TNK photo as a recommended photographer, and wow. I definitely could not recommend them more!! And I literally just got married 3 days ago and had to come on here to write an awesome review. After chatting with Elmer over the phone, we definitely vibed so well - I knew we had to work with them for our wedding. I was initially disappointed that he was booked up for our special day but he assured me his team is just as great with the same vibe as well. Sure enough, when we did a engagement shoot with our future lead photographer Derek and assistant Joseph, it was so fun and really seamless! So glad we did an engagement session prior to the wedding because it really solidified how well we worked with them! Did I mention, Elmer provided sneak peeks of our photos literally the day after? So insanely fast and I was super excited for them! I love the feel and style of TNK photos, and so pleased with the fast turnaround time. Looking forward to the rest of our wedding photos!! If you're looking for the right photographer, TNK photo is your team! read more

Elmer and his team were absolutely some of the best vendors we've ever worked with.

Elmer and his team photographed our wedding at Padua Hills as well as a Tea Ceremony at The Vintage Rose - Parity Hub. We really enjoyed working with him! He took care of all the details, put us at ease and made sure we didn't have to worry or think about anything. He was friendly, easy to work with, prompt in his replies, and gave us a ton of sneak peeks the next day! We got our full gallery delivered less than 1 month after our wedding. All in all we had a great experience. read more

Words are not enough to describe how utterly happy we are that we met this wonderful team. Most professional yet down to earth crew you will ever meet! Even with the two years postponement, they maintained great connection with us and did not leave us feeling anxious or worried at all. The quality of photos were phenomenal. It was a great mix of portraits and candid shots, just what I absolutely dreamed of. It's so hard to pick and choose from the reel since everything is so so amazing! It is also a plus that Elmer loves dogs and made ours one of the highlights of the delivery as well. Much respect and gratitude for this team. If needed for any other occasion, we'll get them again in a heartbeat read more

Elmer and his team are truly elite. We had the absolute pleasure of having them shoot both our engagement pictures and our wedding, both of which turned out incredible! Elmer is extremely easy-going and has a talent for adjusting the vision of his photography according to the preferences of the client. Because of that shooting the photos felt effortless and so much fun. Furthermore Elmer is very efficient and was very mindful to cater to our schedule and desire to spend more time mingling during the wedding. I cannot recommend him and team enough and we were truly blessed to have discovered them! read more

Can't say enough great things about Elmer! He and his assistant Riley were on time, professional, polite, and so accommodating at our recent wedding. They made sure to capture everything we asked for and then some. Needless to say, we were very impressed! And I cannot thank Elmer enough for working with us on so many date changes over the course of Covid. I am looking forward to recommending Elmer for years to come. read more

They say first impressions are everything - and in our case, this couldn't be more true with TNK Photo. We knew when they showed up wearing our wedding colors (without any previous mention or request from us) that they were going to be our perfect team to work with. Prior to the wedding, I (the bride) had sent an email with detailed requests on particular memories that we were hoping to capture, my husband's overall discomfort with photos and specific preferences on preserving details that had significant meaning to us. They were extremely receptive to our requests, which was even more evident the day of our wedding. No detail was left undocumented, with their team working nothing short of magic to seemingly be everywhere at once. In 24 hours we had stunning previews of what was to come, and well within our contract, we were provided with an extensive digital portfolio of our special day. We truly cannot recommend TNK enough. Thier professionalism, attention to detail and overall genuine joy for us was more than we could have hoped for in those responsible for capturing our wedding. With gratitude and high regards, The Donaghys read more

Elmer and his team at TNK photo are the best. The prices are not too high and the quality is epic. I love how our previews turned out for our wedding photos and he sent them so quickly. Elmer is very responsive during wedding planning and really easy to work with. He makes you feel comfortable even in awkward situations with certain poses etc. 10/10 would recommend Elmer and his crew. read more

If you are looking for a photographer you have to contract TNK Photo! My husband and I hired TNK for our wedding day photos last month and we are so happy with our photo gallery. So many pictures, so many moments captured, we are truly in love with our photos. Elmer is awesome, and his team is just as great. Elmer is friendly and very professional, he is a master at his craft that's for sure. He was easy to get a hold of and his response time was quick. He totally considers what your vision is for your photos . The day of our wedding him and his staff helped with posing us and made it fun which we thought was awesome they even helped fixed my dress for our pictures. They have a great eye to get you picture perfect. Thank you TNK for capturing our special day we appreciate you! read more

I can't fully express the gratitude I have for the TNK team. Elmer and his team are truly AMAZING! I reached out to Elmer about 3 months out from our wedding as we had to change our plans due to COVID. I was in love with his photography style which I saw on Instagram and was so happy he was available for our date. We originally wanted to plan a very short session with him for our micro wedding ceremony but after a few changes we ended up using him for 2 weddings over 2 days! Our plans changed numerous times and he was always more the willing to accommodate our changes. We felt so comfortable with him and he was so easy to work with. Both days that we worked with him were so dreamy and I'm so thankful that we found Elmer to capture everything so we can remember every detail of our wedding. read more

Elmer and his team (Derek was second shooter for our wedding) are BEYOND amazing. As a bride you have insane standards for what you expect for your wedding, and Elmer BLEW IT OUT OF THE WATER. Not only were his pictures amazing, but his attention to detail is u like anything I've ever seen. He made sure every single guest in every photo looked perfect by helping with their posing and outfit tweaks. We're talking about individual photos of about 100 people.. insane. We used TNK photo for our engagement shoot, as well as our wedding day photos. Having a wedding during a global pandemic was stressful enough, but Elmer made our Dream covid wedding a huge success. He's timely, succinct, lightening fast to edit, and the best in the game. Would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for a professional and CHARISMATIC wedding photographer. My (understandable anxious) family even loved him! They were worried about how the day would play out with safety regulations in place, but Elmer made everyone feel safe, at ease, and shared a lot of laughs along the way. Loved it! read more

Short and sweet! When you have over 40 reviews and your business receives 5 stars across the board it's not a fluke. My name is Michael a/k/a DJ Mike-nificent. I had the opportunity to work with TNK Photography on 5-26-18 at Paséa Hotel & Spa in Huntington Beach, CA. Having worked with a number of Wedding Photographers across the spectrum from Great to Terrible, Elmer and his Team were truly a Stellar! They communicated well throughout the wedding and were very accessible and professional in all regard. What I appreciated about working with these guys is they went out of their way to capture some really cool shot of me DJing behind the decks. This opportunity doesn't come often as most Photographers couldn't careless about DJs. But Daniel with TNK Photo didn't mind at all. He recognized that DJs also played a huge role in the success of a wedding. Thank you TNK Photography, you guys rock! Above all, TNK Photography is truly an amazing and talented Team. They are very artistic, friendly, easy going, and totally down to earth I love their style. They are fun to work with as it felt like hanging out with friends. Highly Recommended!! Five Stars all day. read more

TNK did my engagement and wedding photography. They've done a few of my family sessions in the Inland Empire area. They are quick, responsive, and great people overall. Elmer is always looking for new ways to make the photos look better, and really takes pride in his craft. He controls the shoots and ensures you look your best in the shots. He's friendly but professional to ensure he is taking care of you as a customer first. I will tell anyone who will listen to go with TNK for any of their photography sessions. Thanks, Elmer and team for being consistent in your professionalism and quality of the product. I look forward to many more sessions in the coming years! read more

From beginning to end Elmer - and his staff - was perfect, And I couldn't be more happy with our decision to work with them. When we booked our initial wedding consultation we met with Elmer. He worked with us to find a time to meet virtually after work since we lived out of state. He was prompt, professional, organized, patient and so fun to work with - Tank even made a guest appearance! We knew instantly that this is who we wanted to do our wedding photos. Every step of the way he worked with me and never made me feel like a bridezilla. He offered great suggestions but was never pushy. It's like he knew exactly what I wanted and needed without me even asking. Day of the wedding Elmer and his staff felt like they were part of the wedding party. They made us feel so comfortable and natural. You can tell that his staff enjoys their job and has fun doing it. Their positive attitudes and energy were contagious, we didn't want them to leave! Elmer sent us a sneak peak the next day and we were blown away! The pictures were BEAUTIFUL! It didn't take long before we had over 1600 amazing photos. We also had them do our wedding video and let me tell you, it was a masterpiece. People continue to tell me it is the best wedding video they have ever seen and it's true. Lastly, I ordered an acrylic wedding album and worked with Elmer to put it together. He was able to put together an epic and elegant compilation of our day and the book looks AMAZING! So fancy! We love Elmer so much that we have since had him do some family photos and headshots for us. read more

We engaged TNK for our wedding photography and we were blown away. It was beyond an amazing experience to have worked with Elmer and his team (Nathan & Jeff). To begin with, Elmer was extremely friendly and professional when talking us through his process and what to expect with his team on the day itself. Throughout the course of the event, his team constantly gave suggestions and pose recommendations for getting really good shots with exceptional lighting and angles. Their team split up during the event to be able to capture both the Groom and the Brides' preparation processes, making sure to capture not just the subjects but the environment as well. During the wedding, Elmer was also open to our requests, as we had some ideas for a few specific shots in mind, and after conferring with him, he was extremely supportive and welcomed our ideas, nailing the shots expertly and was bringing them to life! We faced some challenges with the venue and some external influence that required us to pivot from the initial plan, but Elmer's team once again showed extreme professionalism by stating that they came prepared with a plan B and plan C since they had done some location scouting prior to the event. We could not be happier with the result, as we got the initial sneak peek of photos delivered within 24 hours, and the rest of the photos (over a thousand of them) in 3 weeks, with EXCEPTIONAL quality. We highly recommend TNK, and will be sure to engage them again for all our event photography needs. If you are looking for a photographer for your upcoming event, TNK is definitely the one to go for. We would like to thank Elmer for the great photos, helping us capture some of the most important memories we'll ever have in our lives, and for being so friendly, cheerful and supportive to us on our special day! read more

I'm skeptical when it comes to professional photography, considering even more so when I haven't hired one before. My fiancé has been looking and calling around for some time. After doing a little reading on Elmer and his company, my fiancé decided to give him a call. His patience and professionalism over the phone and quick response time really gave my fiancé the comfort that we will have a great team to handle our engagement session. Needless to say it did. His positive and uplifting personality made the session so fun and entertaining. His staff Sergio, Serg, and Karina were also helpful and great to communicate as well. His vision and work are beautiful, clean, and just amazing. Already telling all of our friends about this team. read more

You can just simply tell that he really knows what he is doing, does it really well and you can really see that he puts so much effort into his work. Elmer is simply AMAZING. He will be doing my engagement photos and my wedding as well and I know and trust that those photos will be just as amazing or better. Thank you Elmer. read more
