Khoa Photography

h another person doing the job. Khoa not only met our expectations but exceeded them and we recommend him highly to everyone. Not only did he make us feel so at ease, but he was so kind, patient, and professional. Khoa helped make our wedding day so effortless and we thank him greatly for that. From the minute he arrived, myself, my husband, and all of our loved ones felt so comfortable with Khoa. Thank you, Khoa, for everything - your professionalism, patience, great direction, photography knowledge, kindness, we could go on and on! We look forward to working with Khoa in the future. Don’t hesitate to find any other photographer – Khoa is THE ONE!

with his coaching we were blown away by the photos we received! He is clearly very talented behind the camera. Khoa is also so generous with the amount of photos that he gave us! We’ve never received as many pictures as we did from any other photographer so it was greatly appreciated. The whole experience from beginning to end was great and I would highly recommend him for anyone needing their memories captured!

amazing capturing them all! He is a super sweet and fun person to work with and we highly recommend him! His photos are my vibe and we love them so much! I wished we booked him for our engagement photos, because I’ve seen his engagement photos for other couples and they look amazing! I’m so bummed but I would recommend Khoa if you need both wedding a engagement photos. He was very communicative and fun to work with. Thanks again Khoa for capturing our memories that we will forever cherish!

re to cover specific shots we had in mind as well.

ute questions. He was very nice and got our wedding party and guests excited to take pictures. His work is amazing and we got our photos really fast. Highly recommend booking him if you plan on having nice pictures for your wedding.

xceeded expectations. We've shared several photos with friends and family and several people mention how they wish their photos turned out this good. If you're looking for a photographer who's talented we'd highly recommend Khoa! Thanks for capturing our memories!

and wedding photography. He was a joy to work with for both events! He arrived early to the engagement shoot to scope out the best photo spots and directed us as needed. On the day of the wedding, he arrived promptly and took many amazing shots of us Even though we are both pretty camera shy, we felt very comfortable with him. His turnaround time was also super fast!! He was so accommodating and attentive during the editing process and we absolutely love the results. We would highly recommend Khoa to anyone we know looking for a photographer. I believe he does travel photography as well! Thank you Khoa for our treasured photos!

NING. We got our engagement photos and wedding ceremony done with them. Sneak peeks of the engagement photos were met with tons of compliments. When the ceremony came about, our families were so pleased to see the effort, and even more so, the excitement for his craft that Khoa exudes. They were amazingly patient and supportive of us even adding our fur baby into the engagement photos, and were amazingly supportive and helpful when searching for locations for both sessions. All of the images we wanted to capture were done, and then some! So many favorites, both posed and candid, however my favorites were always the detailed shots! I would shout from the rooftops to anyone in the area looking for a photographer: GO WITH KHOA! You will NOT be disappointed!

e moments that we didn’t even realize we would want. He is such a calm, thoughtful, and kind person and brings the best energy. His artistic style captures the emotions, which gives you the ability to relive the moment at a later time (something that was very important to us). We cannot sing his praises enough. He even took the time to capture some polaroid photos which we didn’t know about and gave us at the end so we had something to have immediately. It was such a touching and thoughtful gesture. He provided some sneak peek photos the next day and the rest of the photos were available quicker than we could have ever anticipated. Neither of us are very good at being in front of a camera and he made us both feel so relaxed and like we were able to live in the moment. If you are trying to find a photographer for any occasion, you need not look any further. Khoa is person to go to!

feel really comfortable behind a camera (for once!). I also appreciated the direction he gave us with the poses and know that helped us a ton. Highly highly recommend Khoa!

that described our love without using words. Both my husband and I are not the most comfortable behind a camera and Khoa has a way of making you forget he is even there. All of our photos felt natural and when you see the finished result it is honestly beyond what you even imagined! Thank you so much Khoa, we can’t wait to work with you and Elise again in the future :)

we can't recommend them enough! They were professional and so so patient amongst the chaos throughout the day. Khoa had a vision and he knew exactly how to capture it through his lens. When we got our pictures back (a lot sooner than we expected, we were so delightfully surprised!), my husband and I sat there for hours going through each picture laughing, crying but most importantly we were smiling the entire time. I say this because that is exactly what Khoa's work will do to you. You can feel the love and emotions captured in each picture which I believe is a reflection on the work that Khoa emulates. Thank you again Khoa & Elise for your kindness, patience, and professionalism on our day. You both made the day extra special!

. Thank you so much for the wonderful photos.

ession. His experience and passion for his craft were evident in his portfolio, which helped us feel comfortable and confident in our choice. He perfectly understood our vision for our special day and exceeded our expectations! Khoa has the skill of capturing the most candid and beautiful moments of us and our guests. His ability to make everyone feel at ease during the photoshoot was truly remarkable. Even our camera-shy relatives were laughing and having a good time which resulted in some beautiful candid shots. We received our photos back so quickly and the quality of them was spectacular! It captures the emotions of the day, from the laughter to the tear-filled vows. It expressed the magical and intimate feel of our wedding. We are forever grateful for these memories. The pricing was also very reasonable especially considering the quality of the work, quick turnaround time, and the utmost level of service. We couldn't be happier with Khoa and would wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for someone to capture their special day in the most authentic and beautiful way. Thank you for providing us with a lifetime of beautiful memories. We can't wait to look back on these photos in years to come!

ry detailed. His creativity was highlighted when we received our photos and we were thrilled that he caught all of the magic of our day. On our elopement day, he knew exactly where to go for some creative pictures and even gave us a few Polaroid snaps to take home, which we thought were a special touch. We highly recommend Khoa!

d the aesthetic that he brings to his photos and I faithfully chose Khoa to deliver for my fiancé and I's engagement photos. He was easy going, made us laugh, and directed us smoothly to capture our photos. Again, I would recommend Khoa to anyone looking to capture their engagement photos. He definitely made our day that much more special!

We asked him to also shoot our wedding in Julian CA in April 2023 as well! He captured every moment of our day and sent us our photos back (all 1500 of them!) in 3 weeks! We were so thrilled! He captured all the big moments of our wedding as well as all the small details that made it special to us. We have never taken professional photos before, and we were both a little nervous. Khoa was great at putting us at ease and helping us pose so we looked natural for both of our events. He also goes above and beyond and takes a few Polaroid photos to give to you right away which was really sweet. He was professional, easy to communicate with, and all around fabulous. Highly recommend him for any event you need photographed!

d expected. His energy throughout the whole day was amazing. He captured our wedding day so perfectly! Khoa was also so flexible with all the changes that were made, and adapted to the little rain sprinkles we had throughout the day.

y, to meeting for the first time in person. Khoa was very personable, easygoing, and funny, and made the engagement shoot at Joshua Tree fun. He went to extra mile to capture us till sundown as we chased the light, despite it being a bit chilly. We received some highlights a couple of days after the shoot and were so pleased with how it turned out! He captured us beautifully - his composition and lighting were amazing. We received the full gallery less than 2 weeks after the shoot and loved all of it. We'd highly recommend Khoa to anyone looking for a wedding/engagement/couples session photographer, especially if you are looking to shoot outdoors!

ure the most beautiful photos, but he also was such a kind, fun, and positive energy to have around the entire day. I can't thank him enough for capturing our day so beautifully. We will cherish these photos forever! Thank you Khoa for your incredible work!! :)

derate and professional from our very first meeting. His photos from our wedding are absolutely breathtaking. Would highly recommend booking him for your special day.

t so clearly. Khoa is also Vietnamese, and so it was helpful to have him be able to communicate with them during our family photoshoot. Our album came so quickly after our wedding as well, we were so surprised and impressed with the speed of the turn around. My favorite aspect of having Khoa as our photographer is his special and beautiful ability to capture raw emotion so well. We loved our album as he captured all our guests’ expressions and emotions throughout the day and it truly helped us relive our wedding through a lens we weren’t able to see (being that we were focused on each other vs staring out at our room full of 200 guests).

le experience was great. He was wonderful with planning the perfect time and spot for our shoot and provided us with guides to help us prepare. During our shoot, Khoa had wonderful energy. We played our favorite music. My fiancé and I felt at ease and we were able to be our fun selves, which Khoa captured beautifully in the photos. I loved that he captures natural love and gives direction to ensure that the photos turn out perfectly without putting us into the typical photoshoot poses that sometimes other photographers do. We are so so happy with our experience and how the photos turned out and happily and strongly recommend Khoa to anybody looking for a photographer. Honestly the hardest part of all of this was choosing a few photos from the bunch to post, because we love every single one so much.

ery professional and communicative throughout the entire process, he really took the time to get to know us, and he had such a great and fun personality that made us feel very comfortable. He went above and beyond our expectations and our pictures came out absolutely amazing, our love was captured so perfectly. We recommend Khoa to everyone, especially those looking for a great San Diego photographer! Khoa, thank you for sharing your beautiful talent with us and everyone else!

l memories, Khoa was so helpful and has a beautiful eye for photography. We had such a fun day on our engagement shoot at the dunes in Glamis, Khoa made us feel so comfortable with his enthusiasm, kindness, and creativity. It truly was one of the best days getting to run around the dunes with my future husband and having Khoa capturing those joyous, loving moments for us was priceless. The photos turned out SO beautiful, Khoa really brought our vision to life! He is very talented, professional, and all around awesome to work with, we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Thank you so much Khoa, we can’t wait to book you for our wedding!

en suggesting pictures we would have never though of! His talents are one of a kind. If you don’t believe me, just look at his pictures! We were looking for someone who could not only capture us but also capture the beauty around us. His pictures tell a story and show the passion and love behind the couple. In both our engagement photo session and wedding Khoa went above and beyond! He made sure he always has multiple unique ideas to bring to the shoot. I can’t wait to see the rest of our wedding photos but I can only imagine they will look amazing!! Thank you so much Khoa for capturing a little piece of our heart!

just that! He provided recommendations on locations & made us feel so comfortable during the shoot itself. Khoa was very personable and the photos also turned out amazing!!!

arrive in San Diego until just before the wedding but Khoa took the time to get to know us via video call and was very prompt and professional in all his communications, even though we were all in three different timezones. Our wedding was our first time having professional photos taken so we were a bit nervous at first, but Khoa instantly put us at ease when we met up with him on the day with his enthusiasm and his friendly and kind personality - we just had a really fun time hanging out with him! We were very happy with the whole experience and we loved the editing and the final pics.

ely were nervous since these photos will last a life time. If you're reading this, GO WITH KHOA. His prices are WAY worth the amazing product he is able to create with his camera, my family and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Start to finish, he was extremely communicative, professional, and just an all around good dude to work with. Here are some amazing photos he was able to capture. Thanks again Khoa!!

n- we had the best time! If you’re still looking, just stop already and hire him! He is so talented and a joy to be around.

d friendly. I believe it was his first indian wedding and he asked awesome questions to better understand what we were looking for. Our first event was my henna party. Khoa came to my parents house to get some pictures with our decorations at home and some golden hour portraits of me and my husband (pictured below). He then went to the venue and captured all of the most beautiful moments. He was so friendly that every guest kept asking me for his information! He had a smile on his face when every woman forced their phones in his hand to take a picture, even I was getting annoyed but Khoa was such a great sport. He made sure to get so many portraits of us with each other and as many guests as possible. For our ceremony and reception, Khoa worked tirelessly all day. He was simply the best. He has such a creative eye and captured the most romantic moments. Please check out some of our favorites below but to be honest, its hard to choose a few because every single picture was perfect. The shots he of us, our families, the details, and especially the portraits!!!! You have to see for yourself :) I would 100000000% recommend Khoa to every couple out there!

googling and I could not be more grateful that I did. I could feel his infectious energy lift right off his website and I immediately loved his style of photography. Khoa was professional, responsive, friendly, and provided good tips to get us ready for our engagement shoot. Right off the bat, he put us at ease and made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. We've never done professional photos before so didn't know what to expect, but we were laughing and enjoying ourselves throughout the entire shoot - in the best way possible, Khoa lets you be you, provides direction as needed, and blends into the background to capture the moment. He has a phenomenal eye and we were blown away by our engagement photos, even more ecstatic that he'd be shooting our intimate wedding ceremony. Again, he went above and beyond for our wedding photos. They're beautiful and we can't stop looking at them! Khoa is a gem of a human and even better at his craft, don't hesitate to book him because you will not be disappointed!!! :)

he experience fun and easy for us! We love all of the photos that he took! If you love adventure, he’s definitely the photographer that you’re looking for! You better book him soon because he is that good!

e decided to book him for our engagement photos in Mt. Laguna this past November and we were absolutely blown away with the results. My fiance and I do not consider ourselves to be photogenic and were both super nervous about being photographed. We honestly anticipated we would only get a few photos we liked. Boy, were we wrong! During the session, Khoa made us feel comfortable and even played our preferred music during the shoot to calm the nerves. He was able to both pose us naturally and take candid shots. He had a great eye for the best lighting and knew exactly where we needed to be for great photos. Khoa also paid attention to every detail about our clothing, hair, etc. for the perfect picture. We also had our dog participate in the photos and Khoa got some absolutely adorable shots with him! Khoa was patient with him and his listening challenges! We received our photos very quickly (i think about 2 weeks later), we were shocked to see how many stunning pictures we got! We had a very hard time choosing just a couple for our Save the Dates! The gallery that he shared with us had so many photos and a lot of really great features, including being able to "favorite" particular photos and easily download images that we wanted! I cannot recommend Khoa enough to anyone needing a photographer, his finished product exceeded our wildest expectations! We feel so blessed to have had such an amazing photographer and some wonderful photos that we will cherish forever!

tos - we loved his work and wanted to hire him as well. We couldn't be happier with how the entire gallery turned out - he captured the most intimate, loving and tender moments that take you back to your special day. I needed a box of tissues when I went through our photo gallery. Khoa has a keen eye for detail and he has found a special niche with telling every couple's unique love story. Not only did we find a great photographer, but we made a new lifelong friend. Thank you so much, Khoa for delivering lasting memories that we will never forget. I cannot recommend Khoa enough!!

ne, kindest humans you'll ever meet and made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day! He's great at rounding everyone up for photos and setting the tone to get everyone having fun and in the spirit- which I'd argue is one of the most important qualities in a great photographer! He got every shot I could have ever dreamed of getting and did so effortlessly without us having to think much about making sure we got certain pictures. He took care in everything he did that day, and afterwards with his beautiful edits, too. We are so beyond grateful!!! Thank you will never be enough but.. THANK YOU KHOA! Book him! You will not be sorry!

the crazy ideas we had. And OMG the photos turned out amazing! Highly recommend hiring him for your photo shoot you won’t regret it at all!

ly. We sent Khoa a message, and he was happy to schedule us for a Friday afternoon in June. Before we met, we arranged a phone call to talk about our vision for the shoot. Having never had professional photos taken of us before, we readily deferred to Khoa's expertise and creativity. He was a true pleasure to talk to, and we were excited to meet him for the shoot! When that Friday came around, we met with Khoa at the trailhead. Right off the bat, he exuded enthusiasm and professionalism, making us feel comfortable straight away. Within minutes, we just felt as if we were hanging out with a close friend. We hiked to the sweeping peaks of the trail, and Khoa got to work. Again, we've never taken professional photos before, so we had no idea what we were doing! Khoa made it extremely easy and entertaining altogether. He was generous with his time, staying a little later than scheduled to get photos with better lighting. We left the shoot feeling happy and lucky to have chosen Khoa as our photographer. Our photos were returned to us in a very reasonable timeframe. He emailed me a zip file containing high-resolution photos that we've since printed on canvas paper! All of the photos came out beautifully; needless to say, we'll be having Khoa take our wedding photos, too! If you're in the San Diego area (or anywhere, really -- as he'll travel to you), we cannot recommend Khoa highly enough. Of all our wedding vendors, he's been the best to work with by a mile, and we're looking forward to working with him again soon. Thank you, Khoa!

ur engagement: 1) He is VERY responsive and professional- From the very beginning when we first contacted him on instagram, he was very responsive and professional through online messaging. Every time we saw a message from him, we were excited, because he would give more details about the photoshoot or respond to a question that we had. 2) He goes ABOVE and BEYOND- He took a few extra photos for us during the photoshoot and was very open to ideas that we had. He was so kind and really wanted to capture every moment. He even stayed a little overtime to help us get beautiful sunset photos. He also brought prisms and even gave us special gifts at the end- polaroid photos of us during the photoshoot! The gift at the end was very thoughtful and it made the engagement photoshoot so special. 3) He will fix you up before taking the photos- When our hair or clothes were messed up, he was always there for us and he fixed us up to make our photos perfect. 4) He has excellent editing skills- His editing skills are meticulous and natural. We really liked how the background was not too edited and even though the photos were edited, it still looked very natural and candid. We thought the prism and filter effects he chose were unique and they looked great! 5) He is experienced in posing couples candidly and finding the best areas to take pictures- The area we were shooting at required a lot of walking around and finding areas to take the photos, but he was very experienced and he was able to find the best spots to take beautiful pictures. 6) He is very kind and patient. He makes you feel very comfortable- It took some time walking from one location to the next and during that time he talked to us sincerely and got to know us better. I also had to change clothes halfway. However, during the entire time, he was very patient. He really helped make us feel comfortable and happy throughout the entire photoshoot. All in all, we are VERY satisfied with Khoa's photography and editing skills. He is seriously the BEST and we would highly recommend him to anyone! He will definitely be able to capture your best moments so you can cherish them forever!

ed every feeling shared in the moment. It was so much fun to work with him, his personality added so much to the experience.

and Khoa was able to suggest two great locations for photos that were close by to where we were staying. Khoa was so easy going and down to earth we had the best afternoon getting to know him and taking our pictures. He was so helpful in giving us direction but also making us feel very comfortable and natural. We are beyond thrilled with our stunning pictures and we cannot thank Khoa enough for making this such a wonderful experience. From sending us tips and tricks beforehand and suggesting a personal playlist during our photos I would give more than 5 stars if I could. We hope to be back in San Diego again so we have a reason to work with Khoa again!

ame out so beautiful. He’s able to capture how we feel about one another and that’s no easy feat! He made us feel comfortable and we had so much fun shooting our engagement photos. Khoa will go above and beyond to make your wedding special. He safely shot our wedding during the early parts of the pandemic and has been so flexible and understanding as we’ve rescheduled our wedding celebration several times. We cannot say enough good things about Khoa!!!

Zoom and answer all of our questions, suggested a stunning location for the shoot, and gave us a memorable experience in which we will never forget. He is professional yet personable, funny, and has a detailed eye for a great shot. Not only was he able to capture our perfect day through photographs but he was able to get them back to us within a week! I highly recommend using Khoa Photography and I personally hope we are able to hire him again in the future. With COVID restrictions in place, we all wore masks when appropriate and stayed 6 feet apart with no issues at all.

discuss our vision, he was passionate, attentive, professional and immediately responsive. My husband and I loved how Khoa captured everything so beautifully. Khoa is truly gifted with an artistic eye in his use of the lighting, angles, and in facilitating a wonderful photoshoot experience. We were very appreciative of his warm and positive energy! The experience was fun, comfortable, and natural! We will be connecting with Khoa to capture more family moments in the future and would highly recommend Khoa to anyone looking for amazing quality and special photos!!!
