We hired them for our wedding as well as an engagement photo shoot. Vijay is super nice to work with and had a really fast turnaround with the photos for both. The quality is exceptional as well, and he has posted some nice video teasers on Instagram as well. He's very flexible, easy to work with, and responsive through email and phone. He also has a lot of creative ideas when it comes to the shots and can work quickly when the wedding is on a tight timeline. He has a great relationship and experience with the Palm Event Center as well. Thanks so much for everything, Vijay!

Can't believe it's been two months since our special wedding day, but with Tri Luu Films, my wife…read moreand I are able to relive the lovely memories from that day forever. Many months before the wedding, I searched for videographers and wedding video packages that suited our taste, where we wanted candid, yet dreamy/fairytale shots of our day, along with videos of our ceremonies (tea ceremony & Western ceremony), all while being within a certain budget. After sending in quotes and meeting with some videographers, it was a challenge to find the one that really matched what we needed. Luckily, I got in touch with Tri Luu Films through one of the wedding sites that recommended him, and saw some of his work on Vimeo, including a wedding short that was at the venue we were getting married at. Tri was such a pleasure to work with from the get-go. He met with us to talk about our ideal style and "must captures," and knowing that he was familiar with our venue in San Jose as well as having experience with capturing tea ceremonies is really what sold us. They were even onboard when I mentioned that I would be surprising the bride with a musical performance during the reception, and were able to capture that. On the day of, Tri Luu and his team were fantastic - incredibly professional, kind, and understanding of timeline shifts. Something I really appreciated was that they know when it's appropriate to step-in and give advice on good video shots versus when to be more in the background and let the photographers do their thing. Our wedding video package included a trailer, wedding short, and a documentary. The trailer was great and made me hyped to see the rest of the filming, and it also got to us less than three weeks from the wedding! The wedding short film I liked because it included some short lines from vows, speeches, dances, and ceremonies and various snippets from the wedding. The documentary, though, was definitely what I was waiting for - over an hour of great footage, edited chronologically for us to relive the best day of my life. I could tell it was done with great care because everything flowed well, there were transitions showing off the venue where the next part of the wedding was at, and the background music was perfect. Couldn't be more impressed with Tri Luu Films, and I wholeheartedly recommend Tri to anyone needing a wedding videographer!

Planning a wedding is a daunting task, and their incredibly high level of professionalism, combined with their warm and relaxed personalities put us at ease right away. Prior to the wedding, we had an engagement shoot with them at San Francisco City Hall. We knew their work was excellent going into it, but it wasn't until we saw those first few photos that it really hit home for us just how special their work truly is. They're able to somehow balance great speed and efficiency with an incredible level of attention to detail in a way that impressed us from the start. Our experience working with them on the day of the wedding itself was of course no different. Joel, Kristine, and each member of their production team all had wonderful senses of humor that were essential to getting the very best out of us and our families. Whether planned, or completely spontaneous, they meticulously documented every moment of our big day, crafting a story from photos and video that we will enjoy reliving time after time. We couldn't be more appreciative of their talents, and we're 100% confident any other client would say the same. Haley & Adam

My wife and I had a great time working with Joel and Kristine for our wedding…read more We had 2 pre wedding meetings to go over the flow. At the end of the first meeting they gave us some homework, to describe them what our dream day to be like. Our second meeting was about 1 month before the wedding and we went over the agenda for our big day. The day of the wedding we had one of the videographers getting video of the groom & bride at all time and the other videographer getting all the details from the wedding in addition to some epic drone footage. Joel also took it upon himself to keep us on schedule during the day which definitely was one less thing to worry about. Once the day was over they were able to quickly post a teaser and highlight video that kept us craving to see the full documentary that we had. After a couple adjustments we finally receive our full documentary and its was absolutely perfect. My wife and I are super happy that we had the drone footage and a phone for our guest to leave us a voicemail. The overview views from the drone and the voicemails are a must when planning the wedding. Definitely enjoyed working with them and really happy with the work they rendered. Thanks again.

While he was panicking on the phone trying to find someone who knew a videographer, I did a Yelp search and decided to call Bay Tiger. I explained our "emergency" to Ken when he answered the phone. He said he could probably help us so I handed the phone over to my husband. They quickly worked out the details and agreed on a budget, at which point Ken abandoned his Sunday workout, got in the car and made it to Menlo Park in time to shoot the film that was needed. He also did some quick turnaround editing-as in overnight. While I didn't interact with him beyond the initial phone contact, my husband said that he was extremely professional and very good at what he does. I was tremendously impressed that not only did he answer his phone on a Sunday, he was willing to turn his day upside down to accommodate our request.

This past June 8th, we finally had the opportunity to hire and work with Ken, as it was our company's 3 Year Anniversary Party at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Video is a huge part of our vibe, as people from around the world need to see what all this hype is about. Ken certainly captured our day in review perfectly. He put more time and effort into it than we could have imagined. He was well-underpaid for his work ethic, production, shooting capabilities and editing. What Ken is excellent at is reading our vibe...our feel...and making sure we, the customer, are very happy with the output. Video is our best source of marketing and Ken has put together our best marketing piece yet. I am safe and relieved to say, we have found our man!!!! I HIGHLY recommend Ken for any event you may have, as he will give you quality shots, great energy, excellent editing and a heart to make sure you are happy with the final piece. Thanks Ken!!! Until our next shoot!!! Matt

If you're on the fence, let this be your sign to book this photographer and videographer team (…read moreespecially the lead - Tim ) From the very first meeting to even after the wedding, they are incredibly thorough, calm, and professional, and most importantly never pushy. They make you feel completely comfortable and truly listen to what you want. Countless inspirations and late night thoughts, Tim made our vision come to life. A lifetime of memories! We cannot emphasize how much we truly appreciate him. On the wedding day, they worked tirelessly, guided us when needed, and allowed the most meaningful moments to unfold naturally. Their presence was reassuring, seamless, and exactly what you want on such an emotional, fast paced day. This job is not for everyone, but this is their calling and their work speaks for itself! I don't know how they can handle the high level of stress but they definitely did. They genuinely go above and beyond at every step. 5 stars isn't enough to represent their level of care, dedication, and excellence. I promise you this, you'll be so grateful you chose them as your team on the biggest day of your lives. THEY SET THE STANDARDS HIGH !!

Echoing my friend Cindy L, yes, this team is FABULOUSSSSSSSS and FASTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…read more I met Michael in 2009, and I knew he and his team would be my wedding photographer and cinematographer one day when I tie the knot. In 2010, I introduced my start-up company in Redwood City to Michael and his team to do an IoT video and they loved his work. The animation was pure genius and story line was so easy to comprehend. In 2014, I introduced my best friend, Cindy L, to Michael and his team, for her wedding, and she and her husband absolutely fell in love with Capture the Love photos and cinematography. Fast forward to 2016. When my NOW husband and I booked Nestldown for our wedding venue in 2016, I knew IMMEDIATELY who I would have as my photographer and cinematographer--the wonderful Capture the Love team!!! I did not even shop around. Right after we signed the contract with Nestldown, I immediately called Michael Soo and made sure we reserve him for Fall 2017 before another couple snatch him from us. Michael and his team come at a price, but you SERIOUSLY pay for what you get. I honestly don't know any team who work as fast as this team. We took our engagement photos and finished around 5pm and within 3 hours, we received sneak previews, and by 9pm, we received all our photos! We had our wedding on Saturday, which ended at 10pm, and by midnight, we received 2 sneak previews!!!! On Tuesday (yes less than 72 hours later), we received another 20 photos!!!! He informed us that all the photos will be ready by Friday afternoon (less than 7 days from our wedding!!) ! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY, no one works this fast, except this fabulous team. I keep looking at the 20+ photos and I am still floating on cloud 9 and reliving every moment of our wedding day. On the day of our wedding, the team showed up early, which was SOOOO MUCH appreciative, so they could ensure they were able to capture every little minute detail. They always had a smile on their faces, even when they have to deal with crazy family members and vendors who get in the way of the shots. I looked in the corner of my eye and I was personally annoyed certain ppl/kids were in the shot, but the team was very professional and never yelled or had a frown on their faces. This definitely helps keep the bride calm. I never doubted this team and trusted them whenever they told us to go here and there, and do this and that pose. I told them, "tell us what to do and we will do it!" I can't wait to see all the photos and the cinematography so I can relive one of the best days of my life! When you ask former brides and grooms for wedding planning tips, they always say, "spend money on your photography and cinematography!!!" Best advice ever since you get to keep these photos and videos forever compared to florals which will last no more than a few days! Thank you so much Capture the Love!! Money well spent!!! I highly recommend if you're in the market for photography or/and cinematography!!!

In total, we met 4x in person (initial meet, harddrive dropoff (optional), wedding, last meet to pickup videos & HD). This is probably the most efficient it could've been, and it was so convenient that Van was extremely responsive via email/phone throughout. She was incredibly polite, professional, a true artist in her work -- and you can tell, she's just a very sweet, genuine individual. She carefully listened to any requests my husband and I had, and even respectfully gave feedback that I should just trust her craft (after I was sharing some very specific ideal shots / feelings / flow and video pan -- and honestly, I also didn't really know what I was talking about ;)). I was just incredibly amazed by her other sample videos online and wanted *that* for my own wedding -- but she delivered that, and more! Our wedding video was absolutely perfect and representative of my husband and me, and the values we wanted to shine through (family, faith). In a heartbeat, I would hire Van again! She is incredible to work with and I highly recommend!
