Duy Ho Photography

ds. On the wedding day, Duy was amazing. He was organized and attentive during family and wedding party photos, giving clear direction while keeping everyone relaxed. Once the ceremony began, he blended in so naturally that we sometimes forgot he was there with a camera, yet still captured every meaningful moment beautifully and authentically. We were blown away by the quality of the photos. They perfectly capture the day with a natural, timeless feel, and we’ve loved looking through them again and again. Our family and friends have also been raving about how wonderful the photos turned out. Working with Duy was such a wonderful experience, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Duy made us feel so comfortable — our photos turned out beautiful! On the wedding day, he was with us from the first look through the end of the night, always friendly, calm, and easy to talk to. The group photos after the ceremony were super efficient thanks to his assistant calling out all the names — we were even ahead of schedule and had time to take more photos around the ceremony site before heading to the reception. Duy also went above and beyond to capture shots I really wanted, like with our floral arch, and they turned out beautifully artistic. He’s super responsive, and even the preview photos we’ve received are stunning — we can’t wait for the full set and our album!

all so perfect. We took photos around SF and I had a very specific vision for a few that Duy brought to life and absolutely exceeded expectations. He was very patient, personable, thoughtfully listened to our wants, and made it happen. He is incredibly talented and we cannot recommend him enough!!

sitive and thoughtful. He guided us through the process and helped us feel comfortable in our own skin for the photos. These included shots including us and the surrounding view of SF that were beautiful and well-focused. Duy also suggested some challenging shots and nailed them, like a dramatic backlit photo of us facing the sunset in silhouette. At our wedding he was able to capture so many wonderful moments with great use of available light. We were at the University Club which as an indoor venue had more indirect/dimmer lit shots, but they’ve turned out so well. Our wedding shoot was busy, with lots of group shots, and Duy was able to direct people efficiently and make the most of an extremely fast-paced day. In addition to the staged shots, we got lots of quick moments throughout the evening. Duy was able to capture us mid-leap at the top of Nob Hill, and got a wonderful shot of our dynamic first dance during a melodramatic moment on one foot. Open dancing was chaotic and Duy deftly captured the energy of the dancefloor with great clarity in the lower evening light. Throughout the wedding day Duy was as helpful and calming as he was during the engagement shoot - we were so thankful to have him there. We would recommend Duy to anyone; he was simply outstanding.

like an extension of our closest friends and family. Our photos are nothing short of STUNNING—they perfectly capture the energy, emotion, and essence of each moment. In addition to his extraordinary talent, he has unbelievably fast turnaround time. He was sharing gorgeous images the very next day, allowing us to relive the magic almost instantly. As a bride, it was beyond exciting to be able to repost and share those special moments online right away! Beyond his talent, Duy is an absolute JOY to work with. He’s organized, fun, and has a calming presence that was truly appreciated amidst the wedding day chaos. I cannot recommend him highly enough- if you’re looking for a photographer who will exceed every expectation, Duy is the one!

ct mix of glamour, elegance, and pure emotion in every shot. Working with Duy is perfection. He’s incredibly easygoing, knows how to go with the flow, and somehow always finds the perfect angles and lighting, no matter the setting. Every couple he photographs looks straight out of a luxury bridal campaign, and his attention to detail is unmatched.

t only that, but the wedding itself. I cannot emphasize enough how magnificently he captured the genuine feeling of our wedding. He was essentially invisible, stealthily capturing all the impromptu and emotional moments without making us feel like we were being photographed. It was just genuine and perfect. For his staged shots, he knew exactly where and what time to take them, such as the perfect sunset hour to have me and my bride do a dance in front of the beautiful venue we had. He evoked the beauty of both the venue and the hard work we put into our arrangements. There wasn’t a detail he missed, from our personally designed menus, to my bride’s beautiful veil, to my personalized cufflinks. I cannot speak highly enough about Duy.

t him, it was clear that Duy is not only highly talented but also a true professional who genuinely cares about making your big day as special as possible. The photos were everything we dreamed of and more! One of the largest advantages was his experience with the venue. He knew exactly where all the best spots were to take First Look photos and even brought us into the redwoods behind the venue to leverage the natural light at Chabot and breathtaking redwood trees. I admire his process, vision and desire to capture all the memories for us. If you’re looking for a photographer who knows the Bay Area, has an eye for lighting and composition, and truly delivers on capturing your vision, Duy is the one! We are so grateful to have had him as part of our wedding day!

et great shots of us as a couple, but someone who could really capture the entire day and all of those who were a part of it. Duy captured all the shots we wanted and so many more. He was very generous with his time, answering all our questions and making himself available to meet with us. He helped us hone in on our timeline to ensure we got all the shots we wanted in each location we had celebrations at through the day and his work so beautifully captured our wedding. At moments we had ideas of where we might want to stage family portraits but needed his help and his eye for architecture found us the exact right spot, he lead us and our HUGE family through rounds of portraits with great ease. His team worked seamlessly with our other vendors and they were very kind and helpful throughout the day. When we got our teasers and photos back we were absolutely BLOWN AWAY. There's so much intimacy in his style of shooting, something we knew we wanted captured. His eye for capturing moments ensured we had photos as my husband offered a prayer at the end of our ceremony, Duy caught the moment the doors of the church opened and I saw my husband for the first time, he got my maid of honor staring at me lovingly as I got ready. The list of moments he captured goes on and on - as a bride the day swirls around so furiously and is over so quick, that to have such a skilled team preserve the day from so many angles I couldn't see is something I am so grateful for. We knew from the moment we saw his work that he would capture the day in the way we hoped, and he absolutely delivered. His photographs of our wedding are so honest they bring us back to the emotions of the day every time we open our gallery. Thank you so much to Duy and his team for documenting the biggest day of our lives. We truly couldn't have done it without you!!

all and Battery Cranston). We were happy with how our engagement shoot went and used all those photos for our website and invitation. For our wedding at Chabot, Duy took some really great shots of the planetarium ceremony and in the surrounding redwoods. He also let one of our family friends tag along to learn all the best angles and techniques. Duy returned our all of our photos within a couple weeks and communicated with us extensively throughout the process to make sure we were comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for any occasion.

ra-shy person like myself very comfortable. He is so professional and easygoing, and his creative style is unmatched.

d and I had a blast working with Duy. Leading up to our wedding, Duy was communicative and answered all our questions. He offered great ideas for photoshoot locations, and on the day of the wedding, offered his advice on whether a certain location made sense or not. We received some teasers, and we are in LOVE with them! Duy captured all the emotions felt throughout the day. A colleague of mine told me she had chills up her arm because the photos were just so real, and that they didn't feel staged or fake. I am so happy we chose to work with Duy, especially after having a poor experience with our engagement photographer. Duy has good energy and just feel so calm in his presence. Plus, we had lots of fun! Thank you, Duy for laughing with us and creating lasting memories. We are so happy to have crossed paths!

omfortable in front of the camera, and captured our personalities perfectly. He has an amazing eye, not just for composition of a frame but for capturing the emotion of the day as well. He also really paid attention to the things that were important to us on our wedding day. For example, we had four 90+ year-olds (one was 99!) at the wedding, and it was very important to us to have great photos of our elders at the wedding. Duy captured some really beautiful images of our grandparents that we will cherish forever, in addition to serving us some absolutely FIRE couples portraits/candids of our guests/etc. He also brought on a second shooter for part of the day who absolutely crushed her shots, too. Duy is also wonderful to work with on the day – he brings an energy that is professional, calming, fun and positive. We had a blast with him. Also, he delivered our sneaks SO FAST?!?! I was amazed. And our full gallery arrived sooner than expected, too. We were super impressed. If you’re looking for a luxury-style photographer to deliver incredibly high-end images in addition to being a fun, positive collaborator, look no farther than Duy! Wish we could relive the day but are SO happy we have these stunning, Vogue-quality images to look back on forever!!

d color photos capture the moment/event perfectly . He has been thougroughly professional and accomodated all of our requests. Just close your eyes and pick him as your photographer!!

nt was truly remarkable. Each photograph felt like a window into the emotions and atmosphere of the day, preserving every laugh, every tear, and every loving glance with precision and care. Duy's professionalism was evident from our initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos. He approached our special day with a keen eye for detail and an artistic flair that elevated each image into a work of art. His dedication to ensuring that every important aspect of the day was captured authentically was evident in his unwavering commitment and flexibility throughout the event. Despite the intricacies of capturing a Halloween wedding in such a historic venue, Duy ensured that we received our photos promptly, allowing us to relive the magic of our day almost immediately. His willingness to go above and beyond to accommodate our requests and his commitment to delivering exceptional results make him an outstanding choice for any couple seeking a wedding photographer who can truly capture the heart and soul of their special day. We are endlessly grateful to Duy for providing us with memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. He is truly so fun, so professional, so kind, and really the perfect photographer to share your special day with!! HES THE BEST!

ad to amazing photos. He also is funny, calm, and overall a great person to be around. After our engagement photo session, we were even more excited to work with him on the day of our wedding. On the day of our wedding, Duy was professional, punctual, and kept everything on track. He was amazing at completing family photos quickly and in an organized fashion to allow us to enjoy our cocktail hour. Duy really captured the emotions and energy of our wedding ceremony and reception. The action shots on the dance floor he captured are truly photos we will look back on for many years to come. Overall, we could not say better things about Duy. His moody, storytelling style is breathtaking. Hire him! We will continue to suggest him as a photographer to any of our friends/family that are planning to get married!

or detail which Duy Ho definitely has. If you are an avid reader of the NYTimes wedding section, which I have been for years, there is a certain style of photography that catches your eye - they are subtle, but magical, ie..couple sneaking glances at one another, a teary eyed father-of-the-bride, a nervous ring bearer, etc…- Duy Ho’s photographs embody that style. I have been in advertising and marketing in SF, NY and LA for close to 30 years and have a strong appreciation and pretty high standards for creative work. So when it came to hiring a photographer for our wedding, I took the task of finding a good photographer very seriously. I scoured through tons of wedding photographers' portfolios in the Bay Area and can honestly say, there isn’t even a close second. So when Duy told me he was available for our September 29th wedding, I didn’t even hesitate to book him and sure enough, my instincts were right, he was amazing. We have shared our wedding photos with many of our friends and family and they all have said the same thing about Duy’s photographs. They all love the small details, the lighting quality and how he was able to capture emotions in his journalistic photos. We've had people tell us our photos could be on the cover of a magazine and two people, one a New Yorker, told us our wedding photos belong in the NYTimes. Aside from his eye for detail, he was also a joy to work with. He was professional from beginning to end. We had two meetings with him prior to our wedding. The first one was to go over what to expect from him and the second meeting was to go over the wedding timeline and what types of photos we would like him to capture, besides the journalistic ones, any formal portraits or anything that would be important on that day. You can tell a lot about his work not just by looking at his portfolio, but also his instagram posts. He seems to keep it pretty current, so you can get a good idea of lighting quality based on the time of year the wedding is taking place. It is obvious he takes pride in his work and is truly passionate about it. I couldn’t recommend Duy enough. And yes, I will be submitting our love story to the NYTimes, especially since we have a large amount of amazing photos to choose from, thanks to Duy.

e working with him. He made everything easy for us and he was really sensitive about family dynamics. His photographs are absolutely beautiful. I am so glad we chose him to work with for the most important day of our lives.

editing style. Compared to a lot of other "photographers" out there, Duy has full mastery over the fundamentals – from how he frames his subjects, to his usage of space, the stories that the photos tell, and more. He doesn't take weird photos of the bride's behind or random photos with no space above one's head; his photos all make you look and feel good! :) His editing style is also very natural – no over saturated colors, no fake noir style graininess – so your wedding will preserved exactly as it was. During the planning phase, he was very proactive in reaching out to us and going through all the details of our schedule – enumerating all the formal portraits, when each portrait session would happen, what events needed to be documented when, etc. The day of, everything was executed as planned. He was always there when things were happening, never intrusive but always ready. So in summary, Duy takes wonderful photos, is very professional, and you should totally book him :)

to the priceless candid photos of our nearest and dearest having fun and dancing the night away. We actually connected with Duy before hiring him when we were deciding between two venues in San Francisco and saw that Duy had photographed weddings at both. He was super responsive and gave us objective and helpful information to consider, which really helped us to make a decision. After choosing our venue, we were thrilled to see Duy on the preferred vendor list. Of course, we did our due diligence by chatting with all of the other preferred photographers, but Duy stood out to us on an artistic, professional, and personal level. We love his style of photography and wanted to work with a photographer who was already familiar with our venue. We also preferred working with an individual photographer, rather than with a larger company, to have that personal touch, and Duy made us feel heard and like we would be well-taken care of.  Everything was smooth sailing once we hired Duy. He continued to be lightning-quick to answer our millions of questions. As we were finalizing our day-of timeline, Duy was very open to our ideas and also provided extremely helpful feedback and suggestions to make our timeline as efficient and easy as possible. For example, my husband and I both wanted portraits of our extended families, which are large (like, 20+ people on each of our parents' sides), in addition to the wedding party and immediate family portraits (also not small). Given our venue's very strict time and space constraints, Duy helped us brainstorm different scenarios to make sure that we got all of those shots. Duy absolutely nailed it, thanks to a lot of flexibility and creative maneuvering on his part. Additionally, Duy's calm demeanor helped us to relax and really enjoy every moment of the day. My husband and I have been swooning over all of our wedding photos and it has been so much fun sharing them with our family and friends. I think we will all be looking and relooking at these photos for a long time, thanks to Duy!

go over all the details and any questions we might have. During the event he made us both feel very comfortable. There were no awkward couples poses. Everything was very natural and relaxed. During the reception Duy worked seamlessly with the guests and other vendors and captured some great candid pictures that we will treasure for a lifetime. We received our pictures while on our honeymoon so it was perfect timing. The couples portraits were beautiful and I felt Duy really did capture the whole reception just the way I want to be able to look back on it.

the background to get his shots. He captured so many wonderful small moments during the preparation and the important moments during the ceremony, as well as posed shots. He made the most of the setting, knowing exactly how to position us to get the nicest shots. Duy provided photos that truly captured the most important parts of our elopement and our family. He is a lovely person with a nice energy we were happy to have with us on our special day. We would definitely recommend him!

nd the amount of stunning shots he had – both candid and posed. He is personable and a great listener – Duy took into account concerns we had with our large bridal party size, switching locations a number of times and other ever changing elements and navigated them all seamlessly. On the day of the wedding, we also observed how much of a calming presence he is as well. While the most exciting day, there were still many stressors, and Duy had such a cool, calm, yet commanding approach to everything, leaving the rest of us feeling completely taken care of. His approach is unobtrusive, methodical and produces stunning photos. While many photographers can capture the moments as they happen, Duy has the ability to capture much more. He has the unique ability to capture the full essence of the moments on camera. When he delivered us all the photos from our wedding day, my husband and I were shocked at how beautiful each and every photo was. Everyone who has seen our photos agrees - Duy is truly gifted. Don’t second guess booking Duy, you will not regret it!!

our video add-on. He is also really skilled at editing and was able to deliver our photos and vidoes to us before Thanksgiving. We were on the fence about adding the videography portion, but now I’m so glad we did. Our families loved looking through the photos and watching the highlight video when we got together. Duy really understands angles and lighting to get the best shot. Our favorite part about Duy’s work is that he not only captures all of the classic staple moments of the wedding, but also the candid little moments that we may have overlooked or been too busy to notice on our wedding day. We loved all of the *truly* candid moments he was able to memorialize to help us remember different aspects of our special day. If you’re looking for a photographer who can take the kind of photos that you’ll look back on years from now and truly remember how you FELT that day, Duy is the one.

thing missing. Some were too expensive, some didn’t have the eye we were looking for, and others didn’t even respond to our inquiries. As we were beginning to get worried about finding a photographer, we came across Duy’s website and were instantly captivated. His work had an authenticity about it that we hadn’t seen with other vendors, so we knew we had to talk to him. It was the best decision we made for our wedding. Duy spent 3 hours with us in downtown San Francisco doing an engagement shoot, which was key to getting us comfortable with his style and being photographed generally. We felt immensely at ease and very “in the moment” — we had locations in mind but the shots and poses were spontaneous, dictated by the conditions and our chemistry. For the wedding, Duy and his assistant were consummate professionals. They coordinated with our wedding planner and other vendors, kept on schedule (timelines are crucial!), and captured our day perfectly. We never felt rushed or overly produced, but his experience and attention to detail were evident that day. The shots turned out better than I could have imagined, and were truly unique to who my wife and I are as a couple. I recommend Duy to all my friends who are looking for a photographer, and make the same recommendation to whoever is reading this review. You won’t regret it!

immense talent was evident from the first photo we saw. His cool, calm demeanor throughout the entire process and events was exactly what these newlyweds needed! Duy knew the exact moments when to lend his ideas while also sitting back and just let the day unfold. We seriously could not have picked a better person to work with and capture all of the special moments on our big day! You cannot go wrong with choosing Duy - we guarantee it!

capturing candids and posed photos alike. He knew when to blend into the crowd but also stepped up when it came time to wrangle an unruly aunt or saucy best man (okay groom too). Duy was absolutely worth every cent and his images speak volumes to the craft and dedication that he brings.

point. His style is uncanned, unique and striking- which is everything I look for in a photographer's work. He did not disappoint! From initial meeting to wedding day, he was on it with communication and making sure we felt totally at peace. Not only was it a blast to have him hang with us for our wedding weekend, because he's a great guy in general, but the photos were all that I'd hoped for and more- absolutely beautiful. He really puts heart, soul and emotion into the images he creates, and that's how I wanted to remember my wedding day. Oh, and the dance floor shots can't be topped- he was all over the place capturing every moment and those are some of my favorite shots! Duy is simply the cream of the crop - look no further.

lly nervous for my photos due to not being photogenic and he made myself and my now husband so comfortable throughout. He felt like another friend at our wedding. Our photos are absolutely gorgeous, and he was timely and nothing but professional. I cannot recommend him enough; my photos look like they belong in a magazine. He really is an artist.

e drawn to his ability to balance authenticity, sophistication, life, and drama in his shots. Rather than being heavy-handed with color correction and wedding photo trends, Duy allows the moment and the people shine through. Working with him day-of was fantastic; not only did we receive several comments from our family and friends about how he put them at ease, but he also made several decisions on the fly based on the weather. After the wedding, he delivered several previews in just a few days....and we were absolutely floored. Like, literally screaming. We are so thankful to be able to look back on this beautiful day through his lens.

rk-and-moody, documentary-style imagery, so we scheduled time to meet in person. He had an ease to him that assured us we'd feel less awkward in front of a camera, and we resonated with how he described his style (i.e. won't get in your way, focus on storytelling and capturing the moment). Our conversation made us feel confident he'd guide us through our wedding day without making it feel like such a production so we could focus on being present while also getting nice photos. And wow, did he deliver--the photographs were dramatic, evocative, and just so damn stylish. Somehow he made us look good/cool! (He also captured our inner goobers as well, which made us laugh. Some things you just can't hide.) We loved the emotive candids he got of family and friends, and the wedding party photos are so elegant. We had our wedding in San Francisco, where my now husband and I met and fell in love, so it was important to us that the city was highlighted in the photos, and he absolutely did it justice (that architecture background must come in handy). Lastly, he's extremely responsive, chill, and nice, and everyone in our wedding party loved him and his assistant. Just hire him, you won't be disappointed!

look, and what facial expressions to make. Lucky for us, Duy gave us excellent advice and direction and our photos turned out better than what we could've ever imagined. When our wedding finally came around, we felt at-ease knowing Duy would be directing us throughout the day. We were able to get in plenty of shots while never feeling rushed. Duy listened to all our ideas and added his own flavor too, which all turned out amazing. It's so easy working with him because he has such a great personality and sense of humor! He also is a true professional by having several ideas of the shots he wants to take based on location(s) but also goes with the flow. What we love most about his style is the candidness in each shot because he's there to capture the moment and the emotion felt then and there. It's amazing how we never noticed him and Thea (his amazing assistant!!!) during the ceremony and reception, however, looking back at the pictures we were able to relive the day just as it happened. Thank you Duy for capturing the memories from our special day that we will always remember!!

) During our initial call, he expressed himself just as well, & you'll come to learn that he's a man of principle by the way he describes his style. When we were deciding on what type of memories we wanted, we agreed on timeless photos that captured the emotions of that special day and that's exactly how Duy's photos are described. He portrayed each couple's love story in a different & unique way. We felt the love, joy, excitement, etc. and knew we just had to book him for our wedding. On the day of the wedding, he and his assistant were pretty incognito & went into action without us having to worry about anything. The photos turned out amazing and were provided pretty quickly given the holiday season. They were able to capture every moment we requested and more! I promise you that you will not regret it if you book Duy for any event :)

ndid shots is unparalleled. The photos he took during our wedding day is something we will cherish. Thanks for everything!

more safely. We ended up finally getting married in May 2021. Our wedding took place outdoors in Joshua Tree at a private property. I have had the privilege of working with Duy in the past before he was my wedding photographer, so I already trusted him immensely. Seeing Duy's wedding photography over the years, and being floored with every gallery he delivered for the art events we both worked together on, I knew I wanted him to shoot my wedding when the time came. Duy's attention to detail is like none other, and if you're looking for a unique-nongeneric wedding photographer then Duy is your dude. What I always loved about his work was that each photo evokes strong emotion and collectively his work tells the story of the people that come together at the events/ weddings with a docu-style approach. Also, my husband and I both being SUPER award in front of the camera never concerned me because Duy is SO good at what he does that he can capture any socially awkward couple and make them look like freaking supermodels. Duy is punctual, flexible, has strong attention to detail, knows how to prompt genuine reactions and poses, and holds himself at a professional standard that is so hard to find these days. He is brilliant at shooting in bright lighting AND dark/ limited lighting venues. He always has great communication with his couples which is so helpful, especially when you are the bride and the event planner. I actually never provided him with any list, because he just gets it. He doesn't need to be micromanaged because he truly is the best at what he does. He is a storyteller and captures moments and details beautifully. I will treasure the photos from our wedding so much because I have a terrible memory, but when I took at my photos I remember every single detail and moment of the day exactly as it happened. And I think that is just something really special. Thank you Duy, you are truly one of the best wedding photographers/ photographers/ artists I have ever met and we are lucky to have had you document our big day. Bonus that you're our friend as well.

him about our event at the SF City Hall he could finish our thoughts on what we wanted to capture and that gave me so much confidence in him. And the final product was AMAZING!

n the air! My favorite part about working with Duy is how relaxed he is. He doesn’t add any stress to the day, it feels like a friend’s by your side and they’re just there to capture you in the moment…at your best angles of course! 🤣 The lighting and clarity of his photos is phenomenal. Everything you’d want in a photographer on the biggest day of your life! I went through maybe 30-50 four and five star photographers before choosing Duy. And I did not make a mistake :)

oseful. We are amazed at the final photos! The lighting, the colors, the overall style left us in awe when we went through our album. We laughed so much looking through our wedding photos because he captured all the best moments! We are able to see our friends, family, and ourselves laughing and having fun at our wedding. What a wonderful gift to have for the rest of our lives. Additionally, Duy is hands-down the easiest person to work with and the most kind. Working with him on the days before the wedding, we felt so taken care of by his attention to details specific to our wedding and giving us advice. The advice and caution he gave us was extremely helpful on the day-of. On the day of the wedding, we became stressed out after falling behind schedule. Duy's personality (which is super chill!!) was extremely helpful in calming us down. He preemptively took action where it was needed to help us move along and catch up. So clutch every time! He is someone who will have your back, which is crucial to have on your wedding day. I actually first met Duy because I wanted to gift my husband a boudoir photo album for our wedding. (Yes, Duy does boudoir photography, too!!) Without initially meeting Duy, I brought a friend to the photoshoot so that I would feel more comfortable with the process. Duy knew exactly which settings would produce the best photos and his chill personality put me at ease. When I finally received the photos, I couldn't believe it! THEY WERE AMAZING! I couldn't wait to gift the album to my husband! I was so impressed with his work that we ended up hiring him for the wedding, too. Best decision ever! We will be cherishing these photos over and over again. Thank you so much, Duy!!

ions very seriously. I loved that Duy was incredibly efficient with the photo taking - he captured AMAZING shots but we didn't feel like we spent our entire wedding day posing. Duy knew that we wanted to spend the day with friends/family and he made sure that the staged photos were done very efficiently so that we could join the fun. Duy also captured some truly amazing candid shots all night long that really highlighted the energy and fun of our wedding day! During a tough year in which we had to move our wedding once with Covid, Duy was nothing but accommodating.

tographers. Since I had a small Covid wedding , it was not the dream wedding or venue I'd imagine for myself. I was limited in my options and the photos I took on my wedding day. I really wanted a beautiful epic photoshoot with a water view backdrop in my dress, so I hired Duy to shoot a bridal session for me right after my wedding and before I got fat lol. Prior to my bridal shoot, we also did a boudoir shoot at a studio and those came out sexy AF. I can't be happier with both sessions that happened all in a day. The photos were beautiful. He knows how to capture the moment, subject, angles, light, and the background all in one frame. I would highly recommend Duy to anyone seeking a talented, professional, and friendly photographer who is also fun to be around.

important to us on our wedding day. We had two locations for different parts of our wedding day. Duy was very flexible, going above and beyond to optimize for the best photo opts in light of it being during COVID. On the day of our wedding, he was punctual and had a very positive attitude throughout the day. He was considerate of what we highlighted, making sure the key moments from our tea ceremony were captured. We were amazed at all the candid moments he captured! Our couples' portraits were stunning! He worked with us to find locations that were meaningful to us and even accommodated a wardrobe change. Our families and friends loved our wedding photos! We would highly recommend Duy to anyone looking for a photographer in the Bay Area.

and as well as all of the special moments on our big day. We knew just from scrolling through Duy's portfolio that his photography style, which was full of energy and vibrant colors, was exactly what we were looking for. Duy was extremely responsive via email and was so flexible when we had to alter our plans after the pandemic hit. He was easy to communicate with and put us at ease with his calm demeanor. My husband and I aren't used to being in front the lens of a professional photographer, but Duy was so patient with us and somehow managed to turn all of our awkward giggles into works of art. That's true talent! He and his second shooter were never obtrusive on our wedding day and were able to capture so many moments that I didn't even realize they were there for. We are so lucky and grateful to have our wedding day memorialized by Duy. Thank you so much!

he day-of our wedding. The photographer that we hired for our wedding lives outside of the Bay Area so that wasn’t an option for us. I came across Duy’s photography back in 2018 on instagram and I really appreciated the aesthetics of his photos. After we had the initial phone conversation with Duy, we knew we wanted to use him. Duy was incredibly flexible, we wanted to take portraits in the morning to capture the right lighting and then he came back that evening during our ZOOM ceremony. Since our ceremony was 100% remote and in our living room (not the most beautifully decorated) I wasn’t sure how the photos would turn out but when I first saw the teasers, my heart was bursting. He captured every emotion: the nervousness as we said our vows, the love after our first kiss and our parents faces as they beamed with joy. Duy was able to capture such a historical moment, not just for us but for generations to come. Our children will be able to look at our photos and know immediately that we got married in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. It takes a real artist to capture the emotion and essence of a ceremony in such a unique setting with no friends and family in attendance, other than via zoom, and at a venue (our condo) a fraction of the size of any reception. I was a bit heartbroken that our families were hundreds of miles away and separated by borders that are indefinitely closed but these photos brought us together.

ber from your wedding day, and many that you will not, but one thing is for sure that the gift of our amazing photos will last forever. My wife and I got married back in May, and we’re still floating from that beautiful, special day and cherishing our photos to relive that day. Duy and his team were absolutely fantastic! From beginning to end, from meeting in his living room going over various options, game-planning, his artful eye for creative shots, coloring, lighting and composition of photography is truly unmatched. We felt very confident that he would be the one to capture our momentous day in photo. Beyond his technical skills, he was calming, easy-going, collaborative, and very personable which absolutely created an extra level of assurance and appreciation for the great job that he and his team did! We don’t usually write reviews, but we felt compelled to share after such we had such an amazing experience and am sure you will find similarly. Thank you!
