Working with Tony to capture our big day was seamless and perfect. Not only did he knock our engagement photos out of the park last year, he captured SO many great memories through...
out our wedding day (both from our shot list and other things we didn't even think of!). He was so communicative and planful and we're so lucky to work with him. We can't wait to see the final photos!
Tony Sou did both our wedding photos and our engagement photos. All of the pictures turned out fantastic! He was very punctual and it was easy to relax and be ourselves around him....
He was very respectful and professional, but also a lot of fun to work with. I definitely would recommend him!
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience with a photographer! He knew exactly what he was needed, guided us throughout the day, kept us on schedule and had great ideas for phot...
os. Would definitely recommend!!
Tony was awesome. I found Tony on theKnot after searching an endless list of photography vendors. I originally chose Tony Sou based off his photo samples, but after working with ...
him this summer I realized he's the all-around package. Tony was easy to communicate with, followed up promptly and was friendly (vs some vendors are sales-y and pushy). The day of my wedding he gently kept us on track, which can be tricky will all the push and pull of the bride & groom. He offered suggestions on poses in addition to going with the flow for random shots I thought of on the spot. My husband is not the most comfortable in front of cameras, but Tony helped him relax in addition to coaxing natural smiles out of the rest of my family. I appreciated Tony's multiple selections of payment types (check, card, etc) and that he didn't have a late fee for my final payment (which can easily get missed due to all the other payments being due around the same time.) Overall, Tony was easy to work with and takes great pics. What more could you ask for.
Very on task, good sense of humor, and I highly recommend.
If you are looking for a photographer for your big day, look no further! Tony is phenomenal - organized, professional, timely, and friendly! He made the day run so seamless, organi...
zed our wedding party and large families so well, captured so many memories and moments, and simply made the day great! We are forever grateful for the memories he captured- the quality of his work is outstanding!
Tony is extremely professional in his communication and when dealing with us and our families.
And his pictures turned out stunning! Way better than I imagined. Fast turnaround on ...
sneak-peaks and final product delivery.
Reasonable prices.
Would highly recommend!
Made everyone feel comfortable, was extremely organized and overall a fantastic photographer.
So, unfortunately, Tony never got to take our wedding photos due to COVID and a postponement of our wedding. However, I can without a doubt recommend Tony due to his character, pro...
fessionalism, and flexibility. When we told Tony of the new wedding date and he said he was not available, he did so with compassion and understanding. He also allowed us to transfer our deposit to a fall family session. This may not always be his policy in the future, but know that when you choose Tony as your photographer, you are choosing someone with integrity.
Tony was an incredible choice to photograph our wedding and engagement pictures. Not only was he on-time and ready to go, he was knowledgeable about poses, lighting, and was always...
had a smile. Tony was able to handle two very awkward people who don’t like photos by making us feel comfortable and being willing to laugh along with us. The day brought many twists and turns and he was flexible and ready to deal with anything we threw at him. I appreciated his ability to photograph us in the cold to get all of the pictures we requested. I will definitely be reaching out to Tony for any future photography needs.
Thanks so much for being a part of our day, Tony! You were a delight!
Tony was the best choice in photographer we could have made for our wedding day! From the moment we met, we could see he was not only passionate about his career but also talented ...
and very organized and prompt in responding to all of our questions. He is so friendly and easy to talk to, making us comfortable in front of the camera. On the day of, Tony arrived on time and was ready to go, sticking to our schedule and making sure we got all of our must have shots. Numerous people have commented on how friendly he is, how talented he is, and how beautiful his pictures are, and we couldn't agree more. We would highly recommend Tony for anyone looking for an affordable, personal, and fantastic photographer!
We met with several photographers and chose Tony after meeting him in person. The engagement photos in our package helped us get comfortable with Tony and he taught us how to pose ...
in flattering ways. He came early to our venue the day of the wedding to scope out locations for photos and had several ideas ready for us. The pictures turned out beautifully and I’m glad we went with him.
Tony was absolutely amazing to work with throughout our whole planning process! He did both our engagement and wedding photos and they turned out amazing. Throughout the whole proc...

Tony is a great wedding photographer! He offered a lot of suggestions around what timing and poses would work best, and he was absolutely spot on. On the day of the wedding, he did...
a great job of sticking to the schedule while also being flexible when other requests came up. He made the whole process really easy and we are thrilled with the photos he captured!

Tony is such an amazing photographer!! We did our engagement photos with him to try and get a feel of how our 'day of' was going to go and he made us feel so comfortable. Our enga...
gement photos turned out awesome! Then on our big day he was very punctual, flexible and kept everyone on task all day making sure to grab all of the photos we wanted. We made a list of must haves prior to our wedding day which was a must because that day is such a blur! Tony is so fun and truly just wants to fulfill all of your photo desires with the best quality. He captures the moments perfectly! Our 'sneak peaks' of our wedding day are phenomenal and we can't wait to see the rest of them!!! <3 <3 <3
We knew we wanted Tony as soon as we looked at his gallery. He was so fun to work with, made the most of our time and we were able to get some amazing shots. It was really helpful ...
being able to figure out photo ideas and other details in advance. Awesome choice!
While at the wedding Tony was great! He not only took care of his main photographer responsibilities but also helped with random tasks like going and getting someone or putting som...
ething in the other room for us. I never would have expected that level of dedication but he was very dedicated to having us have a good experience in the moment. I have not received all my photos yet. I have only received the preview that he posted on Facebook. It’s only been about a month so far since the wedding. They are fairly good photos. I would have chosen differently for the best ones to preview but that’s all just based on personal opinion. I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the photos though. I’m sure some of the other ones I haven’t seen yet will be more special to me. His images were high quality in the preview and I expect the rest will be too. Overall I’m glad we picked Tony as our photographer. A fair price for a good photographer.
We weren't sure whether we'd hire a photographer for our wedding at all, but we are extremely pleased we did. We knew Tony was the one for the job just from how organized and prepa...
red he was in the first meeting, and that level of organization and preparation continued with the engagement photos to the wedding . During our meetings, he answered all of the questions we had for him without hesitation and even gave us a lot of info we didn't even think to ask.
Tony is very easy going and we felt comfortable with him quickly, which was exactly what we needed from our photographer and he had no problems dealing with our tight schedule and the pressure that involved. He had no problems with any last minute schedule changes and worked through that without breaking a sweat.
We also love the style of all the photos he took of us and he was able to take candids in such a way that was able to capture our emotions, especially showing our genuine happiness on the wedding day. We've only seen the sneak peaks of our wedding photos, but we've already been looking back at those many times remembering how wonderful the wedding day was and how good those photos look really help us remember that.
We will very highly recommend Tony to any one looking to get wedding and/or engagement photos in the future. Or even just for a photo session since he's so fun and professional to work with.
Tony shot both of our engagement and wedding photos! He was absolutely amazing to work with! My husband is not great with taking photos but Tony walked us through everything. He is...
so friendly and energetic and great to work with. He is creative and can find great shots anywhere. Unfortunately it rained during our wedding day but we still managed to get great shots in! I would definitely recommend Tony for anyone who is looking for an awesome and experienced photographer. You won’t regret it!!!

After weeks of research, Tony was our wedding photographer of choice and it was one of the best decisions we've made! He was very professional and clear on what was expected on the...
big day and showed us an actual portfolio of his work so we could see the clarity of the images on paper, too. On the big day, Tony knew that we wanted natural portraits and candid shots and he gave us and the bridal party options of what kind of poses to do. Overall, Tony was a gem to work with and if you are looking for a fresh, modern wedding photographer, call this man up!
Thanks, Tony!
Tony did a fantastic job!
Tony was absolutely amazing! His organization and attention to detail were superb and he made sure to capture all the important details and shots that were important to my husband ...
and me. He was professional and unobtrusive but captured some of the most beautiful images that I've ever seen. I can't recommend Tony highly enough- he's awesome!!!
My fiancé and I used Tony Sou Photography for our engagement pictures in late June. We had such a great experience! Communication with Tony was very easy, he was very organized and...
took care of all of the details. (We took outdoor pictures, but he had even come up with backup rain location ideas for us.) When the day of our pictures came, he was very prompt and right on time. Him and his colleague were very friendly and professional and made the process simple and fun. We felt like they truly cared about making sure we got very special photos! After the photo shoot, we received our photos back on disc very promptly (just a little over two weeks). Tony had given very clear instructions on the disc and photos were well organized. We are very happy with the experience and love our photos! We have received many compliments so far on the photography from family and friends!
From our engagement photos with Holi powder October 2016 to our wedding June 2017 Tony has been with us on this amazing journey & I couldn't ask for anyone better! From the beginni...
ng my role as a clueless bride was made easy & stress free thanks to him. During our engagement shoot we were both nervous at first but he guided us along the way & knew exactly how to portray us as a newly engaged couple with our personalities shining through. When it came time to use the Holi powder we had some of our bridal party join in on the fun & with both of our ideas put together they turned out amazing. Everyone was very impressed with Tony & commented on how great his ideas were to play around with the powder. On our wedding day Tony along with his assistant handled the day of chaos with profession & grace. Earlier he asked for a timeline & even though getting ready ran a little late he was able to get every shot in (plus extra) & still stay true to the schedule. They worked side by side with the videographer I had hired to capture our day the way it was meant to be. Before, during & after wether it was a professional or silly picture I knew every photo would turn out wonderful. Now as newlyweds with many more exciting moments to come as we start our life together I know without a doubt exactly who we want behind the camera.

raphs of our guests during cocktail hour, and my husband's grandmother even commented about how efficiently he got every member of her large family organized for pictures. Our preview pictures look great and I can't wait to see all of them. I am very pleased that we hired Tony for our wedding and I would gladly work with him again.

We cannot say enough good things about Tony Sou Photography and his work. Starting from our first meeting, we felt very comfortable working with Tony. He explained his process and ...

ive. An all around pleasure to work with! We researched many photographers and Tony brings a level of quality that cannot be matched. His work is fresh and inviting, telling a "story" of each wedding day. He has a keen eye for details and the skills he has for capturing special little moments is true artistry! Tony has the ability to provide clear, concise direction while putting the photo subjects completely at ease. Our friends & family were impressed with how easy and natural it felt to pose under his respectable direction. We absolutely LOVE our photos, when we look at them we are able to relive our special day again! We are overjoyed to have been able to work with Tony and would highly recommend him to anyone!!

wed through his enthusiasm, discipline and creativity. He put in extra time during our engagement and wedding sessions to ensure we would have beautiful photos, and we even received our photos ahead of schedule! Our photo sessions were always lighthearted and focused on what we wanted for our photos, of course with his creative input, and Tony always kept a calm and professional demeanor that helped ease our anxiety and stress. As a final note, Tony was punctual, communicative and clearly very talented, and we would recommend him without reservation.
Tony was fabulous to work with for our big day! His passion for taking great photos was apparent through his demeanor and attitude. He truly had fun with us, our wedding party, and...
our guests as he shot photos. Tony made everything so easy - he connected with us prior to our engagement photos and wedding day to make sure he knew what we wanted. He was responsive to emails and took the time to answer any questions we had. We hired a second shooter through Tony as well, and the pair of them worked wonderfully together! Our wedding was less than 4 weeks ago, but our edited shots are already in the mail to us and we can't wait to see them!!
It is truly with great pleasure that I write this review for Tony. He is a FABULOUS photographer and a master of his craft. Tony photographed both of my sisters' weddings and just ...
completed photographing my own. He is incredibly personable, professional, and well humored. It rained on our wedding day and we had to take some unexpected indoor pics as a plan B. I was worried how some would turn out due to lighting, but we just got our sneak peeks and they are AWESOME! He hand touches all his photos for editing and really goes the extra mile. He provides great service at a reasonable price. He gets all the important shots without being intrusive or distracting. You will NOT regret choosing Tony as your photographer - I promise!
We could not be happier to have had Tony as our wedding photographer! From the first time we met him we were impressed with how passionate he was about what he does, and it shows i...
n his work. It was really important for us to have pictures that captured natural moments during our wedding, and when we saw samples of Tony’s work it felt like a perfect match.
When it came to the day of the wedding, Tony was very timely and extremely helpful in getting everyone organized for pictures before and after the ceremony. I was quite stressed leading up to the ceremony, but Tony lightened the mood and made me feel much more relaxed. Neither my husband nor I are very good about coming up with ideas for poses for pictures, but Tony gave fantastic direction and what could have felt unnatural or uncomfortable didn’t feel that way at all. From the wedding party pictures to our more intimate first look pictures, everything was well orchestrated and moved smoothly. Not to mention the day of our wedding was extremely hot and windy and you could never tell by the pictures!
When we received our final photos we were truly blown away by how beautiful they were. The day went by so fast that it’s hard to remember everything, but our photos captured all the important memories and are an incredibly keepsake. Tony’s work definitely exceeded our expectations. It’s hard to believe how well he was able to capture emotional, funny, and memorable moments without anyone even realizing they were being photographed.
All of our friends and family were extremely impressed with Tony and kept commenting on how professional and organized he was. We will most definitely recommend Tony to anyone we know getting married!
Tony did a fantastic job! He kept everyone calm and on schedule and got amazing photos of the day. We had to move the wedding inside at the last minute, but Tony was able to quic...
kly reset to capture beautiful photos of the ceremony. Several people from our wedding party and our families commented on how great he was to work with. It was so nice to know that Tony was on top of things - I did not have to worry one bit about the photography! I highly recommend booking Tony for your wedding. Not only will you get wonderful photos, but he is a pleasure to work with. I'm so glad we booked Tony as our wedding photographer and you will be too!
We loved working with Tony!! Beautiful photographs were a high priority for our wedding and Tony did not disappoint. Even our guests were impressed with how hard he worked to captu...
re every moment. His photobooth was a huge hit, and we absolutely love the photos he took, from our wintry engagement shoot (where he and his assistant photographer braved a frozen waterfall!) to the last minutes of our reception. Tony is a wonderful photographer and a joy to work with!
Tony is such a professional! From the moment my fiance and I met Tony we knew he would do a great job! He came prepared to the initial meeting with examples of his work and really ...
got to know us. He made everything so easy from a logistics standpoint before the wedding. The wedding day he was so great to work with, he put me at ease, helped make everything move smoothly, and kept us on our timeline getting all of our shots. Tony's experience really shined on the wedding day even the venue wedding planner commented on his excellence and was so impressed by his eye and passion. He made everyone in the wedding party feel comfortable which was really important! We have only seen a few pictures so far, they are great and I know the rest will be amazing! You will not regret working with Tony he is amazing!

or the amount of work and care he takes in giving you great photos and a great experience. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!
We had a great time with Tony as our photographer for our wedding! Tony is very personable and easy going! We loved that he prefers to do candid pictures, which is exactly what we ...
wanted. He is very reasonably priced. We didn't need engagement pictures so he was kind enough to add an extra hour so we could get some more pictures of our wedding instead of paying for something that we didn't need. He was extremely easy to work with which we can't say that about a few other photographers that we met with. I can't wait to see the pictures of our big day! If you are looking for a great photographer I highly recommend Tony!
In my search for wedding vendors my biggest worry was the quality of my photographer. From the moment I met Tony I adored him. Compared to the other vendors at the Wedding show he ...
was a little more calm and quiet, he did not put on a sales pitch and allowed his work to speak for itself. During our meeting where we got to see his portfolio and discuss our vision to him, it was very clear that he knew what he was doing and that he would go above and beyond to meet my needs as the bride. He also gave me valuable tips and tricks with other parts of the wedding just to help make my wedding planning life easier. When it came to finally doing our pictures both engagement and actual wedding, Tony's personality made it so easy and comfortable for me and Chris. He was not bossy like some photographers get but he was engaging and direct which kept our flow on schedule. Tony is innovative and can work well in both structured settings and spontaneous scene changes. I appreciate what he did for my husband and I so much. The wedding day went so fast that sometimes I feel like it didn't even happen but now with the mix of ceremony, reception and candid shots we have I will be able to treasure our day forever. If you have any doubts on who to pick for your wedding photographer meet with Tony and I guarantee you will be doubt free within 10 minutes of speaking with him. Thanks Tony, you're the best!
Tony was super easy to work with and down to earth! You can tell that he has a lot of experience and even helped us plan our wedding schedule during our first initial consultation...
. I found Tony through another wedding he was shooting and loved the way he worked. Super fun and personable. My entire bridal party and family members agree that Tony is truly a professional yet also fun and ready to capture all the little important moments. We still get tons of compliments on our engagement session and wedding day photos. I highly recommend Tony to any bride looking for an awesome photographer!
I have now had the pleasure of working with Tony Sou twice; once as a bridesmaid in my sister's wedding and then having him as the photographer for my own. He is absolutely amazin...
g to work with! As an out of state bride with a tight schedule, I didn't have much time to shop for and meet photographers. I booked Tony on reputation and I was certainly not disappointed.
He is very professional, timely in his responses to calls/e-mails, has a great eye and is just overall just fun to work with! The morning of our wedding, the place we were going to do our outdoor photos was booked by someone else. He contacted me and adapted our plan quickly to make sure we could still have our dream pictures and make everything work. He captured all the perfects moments of our wedding without being obtrusive or constantly in our faces -- a true talent!
We just got our sneak peaks and I cannot even begin to say how absolutely stunning they are and how successfully he captured our day and our personalities. Do not hesitate for one second to book Tony as your photographer, trust me you will NOT be disappointed!
I am already looking forward to working with him again when my other sister gets married July 2016.
Tony was amazing! We got married this past September and had the Pearl package, photo booth and photo studio. Everybody loved the booth, I bought additional props, but it wasn't ne...
cessary.
Tony was friendly, knowledgeable, experienced and professional. He provided clear direction every step of the way (e.g. how to pose). He was also funny and goofy during our engagement session, and it helped us get comfy and ease our nerves, so that by the time the wedding came around, we knew what to expect from him. It was a busy day, but he kept us on track and focused.
The photos turned out great, everybody loved them! I definitely recommend him, and will be coming back for other milestones.
