Merci à Elmer pour notre shooting photo à Malibu. Toujours souriant et de très belles idées pour nous et notre fille.

If you are looking for a photographer you have to contract TNK Photo! My husband and I hired TNK for our wedding day photos last month and we are so happy with our photo gallery. So many pictures, so many moments captured, we are truly in love with our photos. Elmer is awesome, and his team is just as great. Elmer is friendly and very professional, he is a master at his craft that’s for sure. He was easy to get a hold of and his response time was quick. He totally considers what your vision is for your photos . The day of our wedding him and his staff helped with posing us and made it fun which we thought was awesome they even helped fixed my dress for our pictures. 🥰 They have a great eye to get you picture perfect. Thank you TNK for capturing our special day we appreciate you!
My husband and I worked with Elmer and his team for our wedding last year. The team we worked with were all such amazing people. I do not think I could be happier with Elmer's assistance and professionalism. Elmer assisted my husband and I in choosing a location to take photographs after the wedding.
There will always be some snags on such an important day but Elmer's crew really took care of us. While I was getting ready my necklace tangled in on itself and they were they to help me because my nails were too long. And my husband danced just a little too hard and tore his pants but thankfully Elmer noticed right away and had a sewing kit handy to repair the damage.
His team was so friendly and relaxed. While we were taking photos they kept the energy/environment warm and inviting. It was just such a pleasure to have them as company for a day that meant so much to myself and my husband.
Elmer and his assistants were amazing. They did our engagement photos so we hired them again for our wedding. Pictures are so beautiful and great quality. Fully recommend and we look forward to working with Elmer again for future any events :)
Words are not enough to describe how utterly happy we are that we met this wonderful team. Most professional yet down to earth crew you will ever meet! Even with the two years postponement, they maintained great connection with us and did not leave us feeling anxious or worried at all.
The quality of photos were phenomenal. It was a great mix of portraits and candid shots, just what I absolutely dreamed of. It's so hard to pick and choose from the reel since everything is so so amazing! It is also a plus that Elmer loves dogs and made ours one of the highlights of the delivery as well. Much respect and gratitude for this team. If needed for any other occasion, we'll get them again in a heartbeat 💓
They say first impressions are everything - and in our case, this couldn't be more true with TNK Photo.
We knew when they showed up wearing our wedding colors (without any previous mention or request from us) that they were going to be our perfect team to work with.
Prior to the wedding, I (the bride) had sent an email with detailed requests on particular memories that we were hoping to capture, my husband's overall discomfort with photos and specific preferences on preserving details that had significant meaning to us.
They were extremely receptive to our requests, which was even more evident the day of our wedding. No detail was left undocumented, with their team working nothing short of magic to seemingly be everywhere at once.
In 24 hours we had stunning previews of what was to come, and well within our contract, we were provided with an extensive digital portfolio of our special day.
We truly cannot recommend TNK enough.
Thier professionalism, attention to detail and overall genuine joy for us was more than we could have hoped for in those responsible for capturing our wedding.
With gratitude and high regards,
The Donaghys
We hired TNK photos for both our mini ceremony during COVID and our big marriage celebration. Our parents even hired them to cover the rehearsal dinner too! They were consistently professional, prompt and an absolute joy to work with! Every photo we received was of awesome quality! We received so many compliments from our guests that the photography team was phenomenal! We cannot sing the praises of TNK photos enough!! Will definitely work with them again for all special events!
We booked Elmer because of a word of mouth recommendation and it was the best wedding decision we made. Elmer takes amazing photos, makes everyone feel comfortable while taking photos, is extremely knowledgeable, is extremely professional, always responds quickly, and was amazing when it came to us getting custom final deliverables. We could not be happier with the way the photos turned out and we keep getting compliments on how we look. Elmer captured us perfectly and we could not be more eternally thankful. You are making a mistake if you don’t book with Elmer.
I really don't know where to even start with this one.. Elmer is beyond amazing and was super communicative from the beginning! We started with the engagement photos and he personally took those. WOW! He definitely set the bar high. For the wedding we had Carsten and Jesus come help out and they did not disappoint. I've only seen the preview of photos but holy cow... they are amazing. Not to mention that the crew was so fun and easy to work with. We all laughed and had a really really good time. I don't know for sure, but I'm 99% positive they stayed a little later than originally planned. They wanted us to take some outside pics at night, but my husband and I were on the dancefloor so they stayed with us and captured all the moves instead LOL. Looking forward to get the rest of the pics this week. My husband and I both agreed that for every and any event we ever have, we're calling Elmer!!! Thank you again!!!! We cannot wait til the next big thing :)
We were introduced to TNK photo after we were left starstruck by mutual friends’ wedding photographs. My fiancé and I reached out to Elmer and his team for our maternity shoot. We met up in Orange County at a location which Elmer had already scouted. Our maternity shoot was also a family & engagement session (which we absolutely loved). We had not taken professional photographs together as a family and Elmer gave us an all-in-one and more! We were so happy with our photographs and were able to share them virtually with relatives in our home country. We knew we wanted Elmer to shoot our wedding photos! Times were tough for us because when we were planning our wedding, my job was laying off workers and we had to sell our house and move to a smaller one to make ends meet. To top it off, we had to postpone our wedding due to covid and I didn’t get to buy the wedding dress I wanted. Elmer and his team worked with us and customized a package for us to cover less hours to make it within our budget and still be able to have him as our photographer. He and our videographer worked together to make this happen for us. We haven’t seen all the photographs yet, but Elmer got previews out to us the very next morning after our wedding! We were blown away! But we didn’t expect anything less from him and his team. TNK Photo has now captured 2 very special days of our lives and we will definitely have him capture other special events. We are at a loss for words at the genuine kindness that Elmer showed us during the most trying times for us at work. Not just your photographer... we are so grateful and lucky we’ve gained a friend. TNK photo’s quality is off the charts. When you look at Elmer’s photographs, you can see the passion and dedication he has for his work. My now-husband and I HIGHLY recommend TNK Photo to capture your special moments. You won’t regret it!
Wow, we are absolutely blown away! Elmer and his team are so incredibly talented. TNK has a unique gift to immortalize moments in time forever. It is rare when you work with someone that so naturally talented and we are blessed to have had TNK as our photographer for our engagement shoot and wedding.
Elmer and his team made us feel so at ease very quickly. His directions are excellent and allowed us to have some immaculate pictures of our special day. Every single shot has a dynamic energy to it the fact that the TNK team was able to capture that is very special.
If you are debating whether to call TNK or not, please use my review as a vote of confidence. Seriously, Elmer and his team are amazing! You will be so thankful that you worked with them, as my wife and I are. We will be working with TNK for many years to come.
TNK photographed not only our wedding but did our Proposal and Engagement photos as well. The team are professional, experienced and a lot of fun. They know how to get the best shots and make it a great experience for everyone involved. TNK is also great at communicating before, during and after the event to ensure you get exactly what you are looking for! Recommend 100%. They also have an amazing mascot!
They are outstanding!
My venue suggested them to use as our photographers, and when I reached out to Elmer, he let me know he would be out of town, and we can use Sergio, and we are so glad we did. It is awesome to know that we were in such great hands!
They have great response time, and crafted their emails so thoughtfully and were great!
Sergio was outstanding start to finish. He helped us get positioned so we looked the best, and used the engagement session to prepare us for the wedding.
The day of wedding we went offsite to take photos, and used his suggestion on where to go, and it was phenomenal. We had a great day, and I cannot wait to see our photos!
Elmer and his team were beyond professional and extremely experienced. They accommodated our style, personalities and any unique photo request we came up with. Highly recommend them for any wedding or large event. Our photos are gorgeous and we’re completely blown away.
What can I say about Elmer and TNK... Amazing, Talented, Caring, Fun, Professional, and absolutely wonderful at his job! After years of Instagram stalking 😋 my husband and I chose Elmer and TNK to be our wedding photographers. The package we chose came with an engagement session, which was super nice to have in order to not only get comfortable taking professional pictures (something neither of us had done before) But also to get acquainted with the photographers that would be with us throughout our wedding day. Both Elmer and Sergio (#1, there are 2 Sergio’s. They’re both great, just FYI) made our engagement session so relaxed and enjoyable. It was nice to know before our wedding day that we got along with them and our personalities meshed well! Come the day of, I couldn’t be more thankful for Elmer and both Sergios. I felt they were more like friends enjoying the day with us, than people just hired to take pictures. As far as the pictures... Just browse their FB or IG for 30 seconds and you’ll see enough to know they’re good at what they do! I PROMISE you... You will Not be disappointed!
We reached out to Elmer before we even chose our venue, seeing his work we already knew we had to have him as our wedding photographer. His vision that he creates leads to breathtaking photos and he is beyond amazing to work with. Him and his team are always so great and make you feel at ease if you’re not used to being in front of the camera all the time. Words can’t describe how great his photos are, head to their page and check them out!
Elmer and his assistant Dominic were absolutely amazing for our wedding day. Ever since we met Elmer prior to our wedding, my now husband and I knew immediately he was the one out of many to choose for our special day. Fast forward a few months and now married we look at the pictures and they still take our breath away, just as the first time we saw them! Elmer has superb skills in photography. He listens to you and how you invision your wedding day and photos, he accomodated us and traveled out of his way to be part of our day. He is also very prompt with his communication, exceptionally punctual, and most importantly, makes you feel comfortable. Look no further and choose him for your special day, you will be in the best of hands!
Let me start by saying if you're looking for wedding photographer, look no further. My fiancé and I are so thrilled we made the decision to use Elmer as our photographer for our engagement shoot and our upcoming 9/2014 wedding. Elmer traveled well out of his way to meet us at a place that was very dear to us. He felt that it was necessary to capture us in our "natural habitat", and ensured us that he was more than happy to accommodate us. We spent the whole day with Elmer. He listened to what we wanted for our pictures and he went above and beyond to grasp every element that was important to is. Elmer was a great listener, he was responsive, extremely punctual and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He also has an amazing eye for what looks good on film! We got our pictures super fast and they are just breath-taking. We've gotten so much positive feedback from our friends, family and even complete strangers. I'm not just an admirer of his work now, I'm part of it! It makes you feel good knowing you can trust someone to give you such quality work, time and time again. Thank you again Elmer, so much! We feel so fortunate that we get to have you as our wedding photographer!
Just saw this new page for Elmer and I am so excited for him. He was our wedding photographer in 2009 and our pictures were stunning and absolutely beautiful. He also did our engagement shoot by the Brooklyn Bridge and people who see them are impressed with the magazine cover type style. That was 4 years ago and the photos I see now are just breathtaking. I am due for a family session with Elmer now that my wife and I have two kids. Elmer, thank you again for our photos and best of luck to you in your business. Your experience at my wedding made everything come out without a hitch and I am sure that those who hire you will be pleased with the service and the product.
Elmer was our first choice and we are so lucky and happy he was able to do our pictures! Having been an old friend of Steven's we knew how great his work is.
Our engagements pictures came out amazing! We weren't too comfortable at first, having never done any kind of photo shoot before. But Elmer helped make it a lot of fun! The best part was that I left the whole shoot up to him and everything he came up with was perfect. I can't wait to see our wedding day pictures! I would definitely recommend Elmer to anyone!
We came across Elmer's profile through George Street Photography not knowing too much about him and hoping for the best! When our special day arrived he was more than we could have asked for. He made us feel comfortable, he was very friendly and easy going. He has a great eye for detail, and capturing beautiful lighting. He turned a little bit of bad weather into gorgeous photos! He's a creative and amazing photographer with a natural talent! Thank you Elmer we were extremely lucky to have you on our wedding day!
