Tanya & Victor were the photographer duo of dreams. They captured our California ranch style engagement photos and wedding in 2017/2018. Both Tanya and Victor are very professional...
, kind, thoughtful, accommodating and trustworthy. Their warmth and generosity speak volumes about who they are and the business they run and they make you feel like you're the only couple they're working with (although I know they're busy behind the scenes). They listen (and little do you know they take great mental notes) to the bride and groom's stories to really connect with you on a deeper level and go above and beyond to make couples feel comfortable (especially when you're not used to getting your photos taken!). I know they both strive to continuously grow in their experience and skills and it shows in the end result by far. They didn't miss a beat in helping us reschedule when our original engagement photo date was cast-over with smoke from wildfires. They captured all of the details of our wedding perfectly, which I was grateful for because with a large wedding it's hard to see everything and everyone. What is even nicer is they delivered on time (I know couples can worry about this) and the photos were gorgeous. I got so many compliments on them and would highly recommend Tanya and Victor for any couple needing wedding, engagement, or simply lifestyle photos! Thank you both so much from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day come alive through your beautiful photography skills!
This is long but so worth the read!! Tanya and Victor are absolutely the most amazing wedding photographers anyone could ever hope to find! Back when we first started to wedding pl...
an, my most important vendor was my wedding photographer because my then fiancé and I decided to forgo a videographer. I found Tanya and Victor through The Knot and I loved their message and their pricing was also affordable for what you got. I definitely wanted two photographers and I wanted to make sure our entire wedding and some of the getting ready portion was photographed too and T&V had so many package options that I was able to easily find exactly what I wanted. Not only did they have numerous packages, the quickly responded to my inquiries and were even able to modify a package so it was just perfect for us. Our package also included an engagement shoot and we decided to drive up north to Muir Woods for the shoot (we live in San Jose, Ca). Tanya was so on top of everything, she even kept an eye on the weather and told us that initial day we had planned was going to have terrible weather so she easily rescheduled us for a day that would be better. The day of our rescheduled shoot, we got to Muir Woods and it was PACKED. I’m talking no parking anywhere and my fiancé and I were already super late. I was practically in tears and when I spoke to Tanya she immediately calmed my fears and basically had a “no worries, we got it covered attitude”. She took us to a new location close by (Mount Tamalpias) and we immediately got to work. They didn’t have any attitude with us for running behind and they didn’t Short us in our time either. True definition of professionals. The other reason I fell in love with them is that my husband is very, very shy and the idea of people taking photos of him totally freaked him out. T&V were just amazing and they talked the entire time and had us laughing and enjoying ourselves and the time flew by. So, having had this experience we were so excited for them to shoot our wedding. The day came and they were prompt, on time, and had props for aiding in various shots. Tanya kept my girls and I on time (because I was a mess and would have probably missed my own ceremony without her) and while she was with us Victor was with the guys. They also had another assistant who helped out with various aspects of the day. Everyone at our wedding loved them and just having them shoot the wedding would have been enough to earn them 5 Stars, the thing that really put them over the top was towards the end of the wedding, they pulled us aside and handed us a framed black and white picture of us from our wedding day. I don’t know what magic they pulled, but our wedding wasn’t even over and we already had a beautiful memory of the day. They are the most thoughtful and professional people. My husband and and I were married back on Sept 9th 2017, so I am SUPER delayed in writing this review but these two are so important to me I wanted to be sure to give them the praise they deserve! By choosing Tanya and Victor you are absolutely choosing the best and they will treat your wedding like their own! I could seriously write about them forever and if I could, I would give them a million stars! We already have plans to use them for maternity pictures when the time comes! Thank you Tanya and Victor! We love you guys! 💕
My husband and I knew right after Facetiming with Tanya and Victor that they were the perfect match for us! They instantly made us feel comfortable and excited for our big day, fro...
m their warm words leading up to the wedding, sweet surprises, and ensuring all of the small details were covered—everything was amazing and fun! We highly recommend Tanya & Victor to anyone and everyone. They truly were a pleasure to work with from the beginning to the end and the hundreds of photographs are all stunning! Thank you both <3
In the beginning of our search for photographers, I had seen so many candidates but not one caught my eye like these two did. Since the moment I came across their work the hunt was...
over! regrets? HECK NO!
Everything was just perfect! Tanya and Victor made my husband and I feel very comfortable and excited to be in front of a camera.
The photographs are just beautiful! Their style and quality is gorgeous, beyond this world! Our wedding album is to die for. WE LOOOVE IT and its *family approved* let me not forget the attention to detail. Tanya and Victor made sure that no "little" big detail was left out. The photographs look natural instead of staged (poses).
I can go on and on....I'm just excited for our children to see how magical our day was.
Thank You Tanya and Victor <3
This is just to really thank Tanya and Victor, for making our engagement location a dream come true. Despite all the things I was going through on the day of our shoot, they truly...
made us feel special and one of kind. They're incredibly detailed and always checking in with us. Seriously, they are amazing, attentive to the needs of their clients, and just all around a pleasure to work with. We had so many moments capture and even ones that we weren't aware of. We are beyond grateful to have worked with T&V and encourage anybody to contact them for unforgettable photos and an amazing experience!
The photos are amazing. I stare at them daily and get behind excited and filled with so much joy. Tanya and Victor were beyond incredible they are.... supercalifragilisticexpialido...
cious that is literally they only way I can describe it. I have received so many compliments about the photos and them 2 in general. We are so thankful to them they are so incredible to work with. Opening up the gallery and seeing the photos was like Christmas for a child lol. It was the perfect best day ever and Tanya and Victor captured the very essence of our magical day. We hope and we want to cross paths again. Thank you from the Kuppers!
There aren't words to be able describe how amazing our pictures are; we were super excited to see them. Tanya and Victor made our day less stressful and much more enjoyable. Not on...
ly were Tanya and Victor both so attentive and caring throughout the engagement and wedding, but each gift showed how devoted they are to go above and beyond. Their commitment to creating special moments, out of the most spontaneous moments for their couples, creates an everlasting memory. Thank you both for everything, big and small. So many memories have been made and documented because of you too, beyond the photos, that I cannot thank you enough.
Tanya and Victor are some of the greatest people we've had the pleasure to work with during our wedding. We just received our wedding album is absolutely perfect. We couldn't have ...
asked for a better experience and result. Everything from our first call to getting the album was so beautiful. We loved every detail and the personal touches. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Tanya and Victor!
Tanya and Victor have been absolutely phenomenal to work with. We had an engagement shoot with them, and just had our wedding, and they've been a dream through the whole process. N...
either my hubby nor I enjoy having photos taken, but they've made it fun and a positive experience! Our engagement photos were breathtaking, and I'm sure our wedding photos will be too!
Tanya & Victor are simply amazing! They responded immediately to our request for pricing and set up a face-to-face meeting soon after that. We knew right away after meeting Tanya t...
hat she was the perfect photographer for us. She made us feel comfortable and excited for our upcoming photoshoots. We aren't the type of couple that takes a lot of photos, so being in front of a camera gave us a little anxiety - but right off the bat, Tanya & Victor set the tone and we had so much fun taking our engagement pictures. On the day of the wedding - which was unbelievably hot - they ran around all day capturing all the little details and making sure every precious moment was also caught on film. They were so great to work with and we completely recommend them to any bride & groom looking for some awesome people to work with.
Also, I am a huge procrastinator and literally just ordered my wedding photos (over a year later). Tanya put up with my constant need to have the gallery expiration extended so that I would have time to order photos. That just shows that they care about their clients not just during the timeframe of your wedding, but even after it!
These are two of the sweetest people you'll ever meet, don't miss the chance to work with them!
We love Tanya and Victor! From the moment we met them, in a Starbucks in the Mission, they were incredibly professional, prompt, and always followed through. And, just in general...
they're always in synch with each other, coordinated complementary - with Tanya leading some of the more formal shots and Victor behind the scenes with more of a journalistic style. But maybe most importantly, they were so warm and excited for us! They were a part of the warmth and love that made the process of getting married so special.
They started out helping us look for venues for our engagement shoot, and had many good suggestions for locations around the bay area where they had already shot. We ended up picking a spot in Saratoga, which was a LONG drive for them, but they were completely flexible and despite having never shot there before, they had lots of good ideas for how to stage the shoot. The pictures were amazing, and the day itself was a wonderful memory!
For the wedding day, everything was super easy. With Victor hanging out with the guys and Tanya starting with the bridesmaids. We didn't have a wedding coordinator, but Tanya and Victor were actually so synched up that they helped keep us on track when our timeline started to lag. They did a great job of coordinating pictures without inserting themselves into the flow of the wedding. The pictures arrived about a month later, which was faster than we were expecting.
At the end of the day we couldn't have been happier with our decision to go with them. It honestly wouldn't have been the same without them!
Tanya and Victor are truly rare and special souls! A beautiful husband and wife team that are almost of another time with their old world love and romanticism. Tanya left me overjo...
yed and ecstatic from her very first email to us! She is so incredibly detailed and has a way with words that make even logistical emails come across poetically. When we found out that our wedding would be taking place at the same wedding venue that held their own – the decision to work together was done, it was meant to be! Every part of our wedding planning process with Tanya and Victor was a joyful time. Our engagement shoot was dreamy, romantic, and effortless with their guidance. The photos were more beautiful than we ever could have imagined! Prior to our wedding day, Tanya had us fill out a very detailed wedding photography checklist/questionnaire that made for such a well-executed and organized day. The way Tanya and Victor split their time during our wedding day was brilliant. Before the ceremony, Victor worked with my groom and his groomsmen while Tanya stayed with my family and me. Following the ceremony and during the reception, Tanya took more of the posed photos while Victor captured wonderful candid moments. Their teamwork creates a beautiful story and captures even the smallest details in time. Tanya and Victor spoiled us with love and generosity throughout the entire wedding planning process. I could not have imagined working with another wedding photographer or team. Our wedding day and our engagement for that matter would not have been the same without their love and support – we are forever grateful and we cannot wait to see our photos and work together again in the future!
I can happily say that I had some great vendors for my wedding - but no one came close to Tanya & Victor. From the very beginning Tanya was flexible, responsive, and genuine. Our w...
edding day was absolutely perfect, Tanya graciously facilitated the flow of the afternoon, making us feel comfortable and stress-free. My husband has nothing but positive things to say about Victor. We love the photos this amazing duo took of our special day and are even more impressed by the love they have showed us from day one. I highly recommend Tanya and Victor!!
I have yet to formulate the correct words to tell you how pleased we are with the final product. I was in tears while we opened it....my kids were so excited to see the album and t...
he amazing work you and Victor did......
We are truly blessed to have you both be part of our amazing day. From the first day we met at the cafe.. Art and I knew we would work with you.
We will absolutely be recommending you to anyone and everyone on there search for an amazing photographer...
I know we will cross paths again, whether it be for family pics or in a different fashion.
Blessings.....
Thank you so much for the amazing pictures!!! We absolutely love them! We have been sending the link around to family and friends and everybody is transformed back in time to the b...
est day of our life!
You and Victor were truly incredible making us feel so at ease and relaxed and the outcome is incredible.
There are literally not enough great things that I could say about these two.
From the moment we started working together, Tanya and Victor completely embraced my husband and I a...
nd were excited to go on our journey. They were extremely flexible with our schedules when trying to figure out a location/time for our engagement shoot. Tanya and Victor care so much about their craft, and it absolutely shows in the photos they take, the way that they care for their clients, and the personal touches they add. We had a large wedding party, and they were extremely accommodating with all the different combinations we requested.
My husband and I were constantly surprised and touched with all of the special notes and reminders Tanya sent out, and they truly are friends now. Thank you Tanya and Victor for being with us throughout our engagement period and wedding, we cannot wait to continue working with you in the future!
I wish we could get married every weekend so that we could work with Tanya and Victor more often!
Tanya and Victor were amazing photographers for my destination wedding in Napa Valley. Planning a destination wedding is not easy when it comes to picking vendors. I spoke to a few...
photographers in the area but none eased my nerves like Tanya did. She was so easy-going, kind, and her photos (and pricing) are amazing! They even sent notes and little gifts months before the wedding to let me know they were available for any questions.
My husband and I were unable to meet Tanya and Victor before the big day which made me a little nervous! But I had no reason to be nervous. They both fit in with our group perfectly. Tanya was so professional as the girls were getting ready and she made me comfortable. They were able to capture all of the special moments of our day.
The pictures turned out AMAZING. And the turn around time was exceptional! I was able to see a sneak peak within two weeks and I had the entire collection within a month! I have received SO many compliments from friends and family about the pictures. I would recommend Tanya and Victor in a heartbeat!!
Tanya is amazing! She took pictures for a friend's wedding and I loved her work. After meeting Tanya in person I knew she was the one I wanted to take my engagment pictures and wed...
ding pictures. She is so helpful and thoughtful. Her husband, Victor (second photographer)was also so nice. We are happy with our pictures and everyone comments on the great quality.
Thank you, Tanya!
They are great!, they gave us a way to travel in time and we can live again our wedding day! Our pictures capturing the feelings and happiness in the air. Thank you guys!

ped me keep my head together on the day of the actual wedding (lol) not only is her work professional and beautiful, but she makes you feel like you've known her your whole life. Even my husband kept telling me that I did a good job picking the photographers. I would pick Serafin love photography over and over again if I needed to. Thank you Tanya and Victor for allowing us to have wonderful memories of such a special time in our lives.

We hired Tanya and her husband Victor to photograph our city hall wedding and we are so happy we chose them! Tanya and Victor made us feel at ease and comfortable taking the photos...
. The communication before the wedding was speedy and very easy as well. Once we received the photos we were amazed at the quality and eye that both Tanya and Victor have. Definitely would recommend them to everyone!
Tanya and Victor have the best customer service of any of our vendors for our wedding. They worked with us to help us feel comfortable in front of the camera during our engagement ...
shoot/preparation for the wedding. Throughout the year prior to our wedding, they kept in touch with us, sending wonderful little surprises in the mail even up to 6 months after our wedding. Our wedding gallery was available a week after the wedding and we were so excited to see the pictures. There were so many that really captured some amazing moments at the wedding. Overall, I would definitely recommend them.
Tanya and Victor are simply amazing artists and photographers. We planned our wedding from across the United States, and Tanya was always highly responsive and very easy to communi...
cate with. Tanya and Victor both have a great visual eye for capturing spaces and our pictures look like they are straight out of a editorial magazine shoot. However, it is their quick understanding of our personalities and their ability to make us comfortable that is truly a gift.
Because of the distance, we weren't able to spend much time together before the big day, yet both me and my husband were 100% comfortable with them, despite usually hating taking pictures. We also weren't able to do an engagement shoot, so Tanya is making us a picture album, which I will treasure forever.
From the moment I engaged Tanya, she was a joy to work with. I would recommend Tanya and Victor to anyone that wants high class photos for a very reasonable price.
Tanya and Victor are the best of the best! They are very friendly, professional, creative and passionate about what they do. They did a fantastic job photographing our engagement ...
session as well as our wedding.
The photos were delivered promptly online. All the photos were beautiful and turned out perfect.
I could not have asked for better photographers. Their service was top-notch and I was very pleased with their work.
What I enjoyed the most is that they work together as a team- while Tanya was taking pictures of me as a bride with my bridesmaids, Victor was shooting pictures of my husband the groom and his groomsmen at the same time. My husband's family is Spanish and it was an added bonus that they're both bilingual, which made taking pictures with the family easier. They were very attentive throughout our whole wedding- they took lots of pictures. At the end, they came together as a team to collaborate with one other in order to choose the best pictures for us.
They provide the option of making you a photo album as well, which I loved. I didn't want the hassle of creating one and I trusted them more than myself to make one for me. They did a wonderful job making the album for our engagement session and I will soon have them make us a wedding photo album as well.
They are very thoughtful individuals and stay in touch with you even after your wedding is over. For Christmas, they sent my husband and I a beautiful candle with a sweet note. I was really touched by that act of kindness.
If you want the BEST, I highly recommend choosing Tanya & Victor. At the end of the day you'll be glad you did because they won't let you down!
I plan on using them in the future for any other photo sessions!

Tanya and Victor are absolutely wonderful. We are so glad we chose them to photograph our wedding, and our engagement photos. Tanya is so kind, incredibly responsive, and very thou...
ghtful. She went above and beyond our expectations as a photographer. Not to mention her photos are beautiful. The number 1 compliment we hear when showing our wedding photos to friend and family is "wow! your photographer did an amazing job!". Tanya and Victor were both very accommodating when we had a freak rain storm on our wedding day, handling family and group portraits with ease and expertise. You will not be disappointed if you hire Tanya and Victor. They are the absolute best you can get! I am sad that the wedding is already over - as I loved working with them.
We hired Tanya and Victor to photograph our wedding. We also did an engagement shoot with them a few months beforehand. We had never hired a photographer before so we were a bit un...
sure of how to proceed. As it turns out, we made a great choice! The photos they took were gorgeous.
I wasn't sure I wanted an engagement shoot, but in retrospect it was a really good way to get to know our photographers and to get comfortable with them before the the big day. We went to the top of a mountain in Marin, and Tanya and Victor made great use of the natural beauty of the place.
Before the wedding, Tanya and Victor were very responsive to our emails and were flexible enough to come up to visit the venue the week before and scout out some of the locations for photos. The day of the wedding, they managed to get so many beautiful photos while remaining fairly unobtrusive. Our guests even commented on how great they were to have around, and they would pull the photographers aside to get family photos done during the cocktail hour. This was so nice for us, because we had a lot of family that hadn't seen each other in a very long time and it was an exciting reunion.
What really stood out for us (besides the incredible quality of photography) was how amazing Tanya and Victor were to work with. Besides being well organized, talented, responsive, and punctual (a dream when planning a wedding), they are just the absolute sweetest people you could imagine. They did so much to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera and feel special at our wedding. They truly went above and beyond: before and after the wedding, they gave us a few small gifts to show their appreciation and excitement for our big day. At the end of the night, Tanya and Victor even gave us a framed photo of us that they had taken a few hours before. We were totally blown away!! With all the emotion of that day, I thought it was a really nice touch to have that immediate tangible record of how it felt to be married.
I can't really recommend them enough.

rd to meet her clients expectations. During our wedding, I was never concern about the shots that she was getting or that there was a shot that she was going to miss. Tanya captured all the family and friend shots we needed. Everyone looked amazing in our pictures. The photos were returned in an extremely timely manner and at a very high quality. Serafin Love pictures will be with us forever and are memories for us, our family, and guests.
We deeply appreciated Tanya's artistic eye and professionalism, we highly recommend Serafin Love Photography.
Thank you again for all the amazing work, you have done for Nick and I. We loved working with you both and cannot wait to see more wedding photos! Thank you again for everything!
