STUDIO OPiA

e: they have done so many wedding and SF City Hall engagement sessions; their expertise and experience saved us a lot of time and they told us exactly where to go and how to pose. The photos came out to be amazing and they worked very hard and gave 100% of their efforts - which is exactly what we are looking for. In addition, their price is super reasonable compared to other photographers - believe us because we have done our research. Daniel and Dana also worked very well together since they're a couple. You are not wasting any time because of their seamless teamwork - you don't have time to waste on your wedding day. With all that, we highly recommend STUDIO OPiA to all couples. :)

tographers. However, as soon as I saw the portfolio from Studio OPiA, their style immediately resonated with me and I know we had to have them. Daniel and Donna were not only extremely personable, but very professional. They were more than game to deal with my tendency for micromanagement and as soon as I understood just how proficient they were, I didn't have to worry - I never HAD to worry. In terms of just the logistics of the day, they were dialed in with the venue coordinator and never missed a beat and were even more than accommodating when it came to staying a little bit later when we ran past schedule (always a plus when your vendors understand how chaotic a wedding day always inevitably is). As for the photos - even for a pedant like me, I found very little to fault in their work. Our early summer wedding meant that we had a lot of daylight to work with so our photos depending primarily on natural light. Their compositions ranged from tight smaller detail photos to more wide-angled, environmental shots with a blend of straight on portraits and candid moments. The fact that they worked as a tag team and didn't lug along a bunch of equipment made them very lean and flexible which is important as a photographer. They never fumbled around with swapping out cameras and lenses, which translates to more shots and a higher chance of catching many of the candid goofy moments that we enjoy almost as much as the more formal glamour-type portraits. As the evening wore on, some of the night photos suffered from the lack of artificial lighting (e.g. dance floor had only string lights). However, if we could have foreseen that being an issue, I'm positive that OPiA could have arranged for additional equipment on-site. As for post-processing, they are not heavy-handed. Adjustments made in post included a handful of slight exposure and color tweaks, which was completely okay for me as any additional editing I could perform on my own if needed. There were some odd choices for cropping, but nothing that would have ruined the original intent in composition - their shots were always on mark. Their photos came back to us in a more than timely fashion. OPiA provided their photos online via SmugMug and in multiple formats for various uses (if I needed any additional photos or formats, they were accommodated). All this long-windedness to say, OPiA brought great style, practicality, and proficiency at a great value. I would gladly hire them again and highly recommend them.

, talented, passionate, incredibly professional and super creative. During the day of our wedding, I can't explain enough how awesome they were. My husband and I were kinda nervous at the beginning because we never felt that comfortable in front of the camera but Daniel and Donna instantly made us feel at ease. Although it was a little bit raining on our wedding day, they took full advantage and create a special atmosphere in photos. Donna and Daniel did a wonderful job capturing lots of the sweetest moments from this special day. I was amazed by all of our beautiful wedding photos and we've already received so many compliments from our family and friends. Thank you so much! Would highly recommend!!

. Donna and Daniel are professional and responsive. The communications with them via email and phone were always very efficient. Donna even came to my rehearsal to be familiarized with the venue. They’re husband and wife that have a great sense of artistry through their lenses. If you have seen their portfolio and found yourself identifying with their style, don’t hesitate to contact them. I know it’s a big decision; at least it was a very important decision for me since photos are what I have down the road to reminiscence about the wedding. The photos turn out phenomenal. Their style is refreshing with natural lighting, which is exactly what I was looking for. The photos look like they’re straight out of a magazine. Anyways, we are very happy and grateful we’ve found them as our photographers. Thank you Donna and Daniel!

diately. We have a pretty tight schedule on the wedding day (assume the same for everyone haha), but they knew what they are doing so everything was on time. Daniel and Donna are professional and friendly, I know I chose the right photographer after our first meeting. As for the picture we received, we love them!! I didn’t ask for retouch the photos because everything was just so perfect. Thank you, Daniel and Donna, for all your hard work. Highly recommended!

automatically went to the top of my list. After having the opportunity to speak to Donna, it was clear how their personality and passion matched their talent, we decided to work with them right away! On our big day Daniel and Donna were focused, professional and attentive behind the lens and so much fun during all the bits in between. Donna even helped me changing outfits while my bridesmaids were busy. Group shots were super organized and efficient, then individual shots with both of us were just a blast. They provide great recommendations so that we were able to get sunset photos. Through out the course of day Daniel and Donna showed their enthusiasm for capturing our wedding and what made that day so special for us. Not only my husband and I but also my families and friends love those images so much. Thanks Studio opia!! We are so happy that they could shoot our wedding!!!

th. In our experience, this was very fast considering the quality of work and the holiday season. Absolutely lucky to have used their services. We fully recommend them to others.

hich turned out really good in our engagement photos. It took longer for the engagement shooting to be done than we expected, but Daniel still did an amazing job with his patience and dedication. On the wedding day, Donna and Daniel arrived early. They were super nice and professional on showing us how to pose in a natural way for the best effect of our pictures. Thanks to them, we got to keep such a wonderful memory of our wedding. Additionally, their work was so efficient too. We received all of our wedding pictures that are either retouched or color adjusted only within one month after the wedding day. Highly recommend them to anyone who is in search of the photographers for the wedding and engagement photos!

he whole process smooth, professional and fun. They captured fabulous photos! They were reliable, personable, very creative and professional in every way. Can’t wait to work with them again.

er. Donna made us feel comfortable. She is professional, enthusiastic and fun, and all of those traits came through in his photos. Our photos are absolutely stunning and we couldn't be happier. We definitely want to work with Donna again in the future!

wedding, and I was extremely stressed. Talking with Donna helped so much - not only because her knowledge and experience were very reassuring, but she was also very comforting. Throughout the wedding day, they were professional, hardworking, and definitely hustling to get their shots. They also sent us our photos 5 weeks after our wedding. That's a pretty quick turnaround considering I know couples who've had to wait several months. I am very happy with the service they provided! Highly recommend them was wedding photographers.

working with them from the start. They were very responsive and professional and answered all our questions and concerns. On the wedding day, they showed up early and stayed late even though it was quite a drive to our venue. They had lots of great creative ideas for photos. It was a pleasure working with them as they also listened to our needs. Most importantly, the pictures were gorgeous. We absolutely loved the colors, composition, and their overall attention to detail. Highly recommend them for wedding and portrait photography.

t only stunning portraits, beautiful details, and all our memorable moments. Our guests felt welcome and comfortable with them. They’re also great at retouching photos. The photos came out exactly as we wanted and way beyond expectations. Highly recommend Daniel and Donna!!

na are extremely professional and flexible. Every photo they took is perfect - they are excellent at choosing a best spot for photo shooting- meanwhile fast & professional too, good at getting us comfortable in front of camera, and most importantly, they captured each moment that I want to remember, I was very impressed by the photo quality. Not to mention that they are also very friendly and helpful, we did not feel a bit of pressure through out this process, they gave us a lot tips on posing (in a natural and pleasant way), made this whole photo shooting an absolute pleasure. Highly recommend Studio Opia to EVERYONE you won't regret it!!

fessional and patient, but knows the ins and outs of the City Hall. That completely put us at our ease and took away the stress and unknown. Daniel and Donna made us feel confident when taking photos and also gave great guidance on posing etc. We highly recommend Studio OPiA, for the experience and also the high quality of their work!

minute, and they are kind enough to squeeze our shooting into their schedule and did a wonderful job. They are very experienced and know all the great places for good pictures. We took great use of the two-hour engagement session and got tons of great pictures! On the day of our wedding, they are very professional and taught us how we should pose. And they coordinated with our video guys very well. There are several things that I really appreciate about. Firstly, they are very efficient. They delivered our engagement photo a week after our shooting so we could use them on our wedding sign-on table. They also finish and sent me several pictures only couple days after our wedding so I can post them on social media. The final delivery was in about one month time after our wedding. Secondly, Daniel and Donna are both great people. During the shooting, after so many hours of smiling, our smile were just stiff and frozen. Donna brought up some great jokes that made all of us laugh so hard. Beside the jokes, they made a lot of effort so that we could be more natural on camera. Lastly and most importantly, they do take really nice pictures. I love them all. Thank you Daniel and Donna！I feel so lucky to have you guys shooting my wedding pictures!

nce they are so nice to work and talk with. They also helped us a lot before the wedding about the wedding day planning, MUA and videographer refer. Most importantly, the final retouched photos turn out to be gorgeous and we love all of them! We got tons of good words about the pictures on instragram. They even send us two different sizes of photos for printing and social sharing. Highly recommend D&D!!!
