We cannot recommend Trung enough! He is a pleasure to work with and so fun. Made us feel so comfortable during both our engagement shoot and for all the photos at our wedding. He was super efficient too — we got more family and wedding party photos than we expected. And all of the photos turned out so wonderfully! Trung caught so many beautiful candid smiles and moments throughout the day.
A photographer is such a big part of your wedding day, and we are so glad that Trung was a part of ours. He went above and beyond for us.
Trung Hoang was incredible! While leading up to our wedding, it was clustered and messy, and Hoang was super understanding and easy to work with while responding to emails quickly. It was also raining on our big day and both our families are difficult to organize and get group photos and Hoang was well equipped for the rain and deal with a large amount of people. He was very kind, and our wedding photos are beautiful! I can’t recommend Trung Hoang enough, he was a delight!
Thung is amazing! He knows how to work with people: both my fiancé and I felt comfortable during the session. Thung gave us clear direction, which resulted in natural-looking photos that felt effortless.
The final photos are absolutely stunning! Thung has a real eye for nature and captured the emotions of the day perfectly.
Any questions?
Trung photographed my wedding and I could not be more pleased with the pictures and overall experience. He is a master at what he does and made taking pictures so fun. From the time he arrived, he took advantage of capturing every special moment between us (the couple), our parties, families and friends. He even helped me put in my veil - he had bobby pins on hand and knew exactly what to do. Trung was so much more than a photographer that day and we are SO thankful that he was there. The next day, we received a highlight reel of pics. Unreal. Outstanding quality of pictures and awesome human to work with.
I normally do not leave reviews, but I had to for Trung! My husband and I recently got married exactly 1 week ago, and we are still over the moon about how everything went. It was quite literally the best day of our life. I can say that Trung, 100%, added to it. We were lucky enough to work with Trung as our photographer for both our engagement shoot & our wedding day. I found Trung’s work while planning for the wedding, on a blog. And I immediately fell in love with his work. I would describe it as “the ability to capture candid, intimate moments, where you can palpate the genuine emotions in a photograph.” I’ve been to >25 weddings, with me being in half of them as a bridesmaid. I knew what I didn’t want, which were forced, fake smiles, stiff poses.
I wanted photos that felt real through paper. Trung did that for us, plus more. For me, I am 100% uncomfortable in front of a camera. Awkward smile, stiff hands. How do I pose? My husband is also the same LOL. Trung has the magical ability to help us relax, have a good time, and enjoy the process. I don’t think he took 1 photo I didn’t like! Which was surprising, because there were moments where I did look like a hot mess in person LOL. I was BLOWN away by the photos. I think my husband and I said “WOW!” several times. Trung’s ability to capture lighting, landscape, emotions.. bar none. Everything appeared natural, but you could tell were, professionally done. For him to capture such unforgettable moments, on the best day of our life, was truly priceless. He is both fun to work with, and in my opinion, his work is at the top of his field.
I will be working with Trung in the future for other life events for sure. I trust him wholeheartedly to make photos come alive, and for people to come alive, too :) we love you Trung!
Trung was an excellent photographer and one of the best vendors we worked with for our wedding. He made us feel at ease with being photographed and the quality of his photos and editing was top notch. Highly recommended!
After an exhaustive search, we chose Trung initially because we liked his pictures, he matched our low-key vibes, had great reviews, and offered his services at a reasonable price. We are so happy we did.
His pictures of our wedding are outstanding, and a few days after the event, he sent us a large preview of photos that made the whole family happy. He sent us the full photo list 6 weeks later and we were so impressed with the way he organized it to allow us to quickly find our favorites.
He was also friendly and fun during the wedding. He vibed with our guests and integrated seamlessly into the event. He made both of us feel comfortable during the initial staged couple shots and never rushed us.
Finally, Trung is very well organized. He was able to take all of the different permutations of group photos we asked and directed family and friends assertively but kindly.
We highly recommend Trung!!
Trung was phenomenal - I can't recommend working with him enough! He took some truly amazing shots for my engagement session with my fiance, and we're now using these photos for our save-the-dates and wedding website. He really made our vision come to life, from suggesting breathtaking shoot locations to monitoring the cloud coverage to make sure we had the best weather possible. He was also fun to work with and he made me and my fiance feel comfortable in front of the camera. I highly recommend hiring Trung for your photoshoot!
Trung was the absolute best to work with for our wedding weekend. We booked him and his wife as second photographer for 3 events, including 2 separate wedding ceremonies. First and foremost, we loved his photography style, which captures warm, true-to-life colors that flatter a wide range of skin tones and work well with all types of lighting. He did a wonderful job of capturing spontaneous/candid moments during our Indian and Western wedding ceremonies, as well as efficiently getting through our (long) list of family portraits! He and his wife also were a true pleasure to work with over the entire weekend -- flexible, easy and fun to hang out with, but also incredibly efficient/focused on capturing great photos. Lastly, compared to other photographers we had looked at, his pricing was quite reasonable (a great bonus!) We absolutely love our photos and would highly recommend Trung to anyone looking for an exceptional and easy-to-work with wedding photographer!
We hired Trung as our photographer for our wedding in November and it honestly was the one of the best decisions we made! Trung is a truly talented and professional photographer and artist. We reached out to Trung and scheduled a virtual meeting so we could get to know each other. This was helpful since we’d be coming from out of state to San Francisco and we needed as much organization and simplicity as possible. Trung’s pricing structure, contract, and timelines were clear and concise, minimizing our to-do checklist and keeping us within budget.
The days leading up to the wedding, he was very communicative on scheduling and last-minute details. The morning of the wedding, he arrived early to our hotel and ready to document the day! Although he had never worked with our videographer, Trung had great professional chemistry with him and worked in tandem without being disruptive or “in-the-way” while everyone was getting ready. He floated seamlessly between the two rooms the men and women were getting ready in, which allowed so many different moments to be captured. Trung was also very helpful while we were both getting ready- he even helped my husband tie his bowtie! He was very charming and charismatic, which put me, my husband, and our families at ease. Trung was fantastic at giving direction as to where to look, how to change our body language, and even how to walk so he could capture natural moments.
After the few hours spent working together, Trung really did become an extension of our small family wedding. Looking back, we would not have had the same wonderful experience if he was not part of our special day. Our families look back at the photos quite often and we happily relive the day through the stunning photos Trung took. Do yourselves a favor and hire Trung immediately!
We loved working with Trung and would enthusiastically recommend him. He shot our engagement and wedding photos. For our engagement photos, we went through parks in the East Bay and ended up at Lake Merritt. My husband and I are both somewhat awkward in front of cameras, but he instantly put us at ease and provided good feedback. He brilliantly captured both the beauty of the place as well as a surprising number of non-awkward photos of us.
Leading up to our wedding, Trung was very responsive, flexible and timely. His wedding photography was beautiful, colorful and full of emotion; Trung has a keen eye for capturing both the special moments of the ceremony as well as candid moments throughout the entire day.
We love the photographs from both the wedding and engagement shoot. Trung is a great photographer, wedding vendor and all-around lovely person to hang out with - we can't recommend him enough!
Trung is an amazing photographer that me and my wife originally hired to take our engagement photos. Trung gave us an incredible memory with our photoshoot near the Golden Gate Bridge and nearby beach. We knew from that experience that we wanted him to photograph our wedding!
On our big day, Trung blended in seamlessly and was able to capture moments both big and small that told the whole story of our celebration. Guests commented on how professional and personable he was the entire evening.
I would recommend Trung for any of your photography needs. He delivers not only exceptional photographs, but makes the entire experience memorable.
Thank you again for giving us memories for a lifetime.
The McNellises
It was a pleasure to work with Trung and his wife, Julie. They were both very professional and on top of things. Trung was funny and made us feel comfortable while posing for the photos but I also like the candid shots. He was quick to send us sneak peak photos and updated us on the timeline of when to expect the photos. Photos turned out excellent!
We needed a photographer for our engagement shoot and we were pretty low on time. We reached out to Trung and he met us over Skype. We decided on a shoot in the Redwoods and Trung did such a beautiful job! Not only was he good at loosening us up (we were nervous), but his photography was beautiful! He got our pictures back to us quickly and we used them for our save the dates. He is professional and great at what he does, we highly recommend him!
From our engagement photos to the wedding day itself, Trung has been an easy-going, friendly, and witty personality that accompanied us on our journey. He was able to make us laugh and feel more comfortable when we posed for photos. Now that we’ve gotten the preview of the photos from the reception, we can confidently say that Trung was able to capture the magic of that night -- the colors, the lights, the energy. He made us look like how we felt: on top of the world. On top of that, he helped me tie my bowtie!
His wife Julie served as the second shooter and complemented him well, capturing the behind-the-scenes getting-ready portion of the day without us feeling awkward. She was super nice and friendly, and captured so much of that night without us really noticing. But the photos are the proof.
It was so nice not to have to think about using our phones to capture any of the night, as we knew we’d have full coverage thanks to Trung and Julie. They even stayed an extra half-hour to the end, to finish off the night with us.
Photography was our number one priority for our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with Trung! Trung was super easy to get along with and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We also did our engagement shoot with him which I highly recommend doing if you’re able to as a practice run for the big day. His photos speak for themselves, but he’s also a great guy! Many of our wedding guests remarked on how hard him and his partner Julie were working on the day to get all the best shots. Trung also turned around a preview of some of the best shots extremely quickly which allowed our guests to view them during brunch the next day! We loved having Trung and Julie photograph our wedding and highly recommend them!
We are so lucky we found Trung on The Knot. He was such a pleasure to work with, and everyone at our wedding was asking who our photographer was! He is fun and playful, making the entire process really comfortable. He paid attention to what we wanted out of our photos and made sure to check off a very long list of requested shots. He is speedy while still getting beautiful shots, and we are so happy with our photos from both our engagement (taken in the beautiful Marin headlands) and our wedding ceremony and reception. He was so flexible and clearly comfortable working in a wide variety of settings; his natural, candid style comes through no matter what.
Trung was so enjoyable to work with! He is professional and fun, and good-natured to the max. After a quick reply to our initial email, we met once before the big day, and let me tell you: Trung really understood what we wanted to have captured at our wedding, and executed it beautifully. He captured wonderful moments of our ceremony, and with our friends and family before and after. He also took lovely photos that we didn't know we'd want, that are now core memories of our wedding. Not to mention that he is really good at making a last-minute boutonniere, and going with the flow during a spontaneous day-of hangout with some dear friends (again capturing dear memories of our last morning as fiancées). In short, I highly recommend Trung to photograph your wedding - we are SO happy with the memories he captured in his beautiful photos, and to have had such a warm and relaxing presence at our wedding <3
Trung was the perfect photographer for us on our special day. On the day of, with all the typical wedding stresses, Trung was extremely kind and helpful and demonstrated tons of experience to help us capture important moments. He was flexible with timing and small changes throughout the day. And the photos turned out beautifully and with such quick turnaround. We love looking through them to remember our special day, and Trung captured everything perfectly!
Trung and his wife Julie are a dream team. We discovered Trung through a google search and instantly loved his photographic style and personality. We met with him over Zoom, and he was genuine, kind and straight forward (amazing how his personality came through a webcam). As my husband and I are both kinda awkward in front of the camera, we knew that we wanted someone who would be super chill and put us at ease; Trung was the perfect person.
He was extremely easy to communicate with throughout the process and answered all of my pesky emails thoughtfully and promptly. He sent us multiple examples of his wedding photography specific to our venue (not just the highlights! the full albums for each wedding) and what impressed us most was how he and Julie seamlessly captured both artistic portraits and priceless candids, with beautiful natural lighting and rich colors that felt real and timeless.
When I asked for videographer recommendations he shared his favorites and we ended up choosing Denis with Splendent Films - he and Trung have worked together before and we had an amazing experience with Denis as well. If you want a phenomenal videographer/photographer duo, we strongly recommend both Trung and Denis!
The wedding day was one of the happiest and shortest days of our lives! We cannot be more grateful for all the priceless photos which we will cherish for years to come. Trung sent us so many sneak peek photos just the day after the wedding, and we received the entire album under a month later. We recommend him and Julie to any couple looking for a genuinely kind, selfless, and talented team with a style that excels at capturing timeless memories, with each photo telling a story and helping you relive your wedding day. We will be reliving ours through the amazing photos for years to come.
Trung is a talented, wonderful person to work with. He was so responsive prior to our session, reassuring, full of information on how to navigate City Hall during the pandemic and an absolute pleasure to work with. He was so fun and calming during our photo session that I didn't realize where the time went. We got so many beautiful shots, in so many different poses/locations/settings and it was one of the best photography experiences I have ever had. Between the shots, he kept us laughing and enjoying the day. Even after our session, when we needed an expert opinion on another set of photos, he was more than willing to share his thoughts. Trung is a great guy and just as talented a photographer.
Trung was a fantastic wedding photographer and we love how our wedding photos turned out! We got married at the Piedmont Community Hall in early 2022 and he was super organized, well prepared, and efficient. Prior to the wedding, Trung walked us through preparing a list of photos for the day and helped us think through different groupings. On the day, he did a great job handling our large and disorganized families and corralling them for all the group and individual photos we had discussed. Trung is personable, respectful, and has the polite assertiveness necessary for getting everything done on the day. We recommend him highly and very much appreciated his transparent and fair pricing!
Trung did such a beautiful job of capturing our elopement and the celebration later. He caught candids, captured the stunning scenery, and he did a beautiful job of helping us pose for the portrait and group photos. Gorgeous colors, great composition! He is easy to work with and we were so happy to have him at our wedding and feel so lucky to have documented the memories so beautifully. He was quick with sharing a sneak peek of finished photos so we could share them with our friends and family, and he was efficient and professional in completing the rest of the photos. We would highly recommend his photography services!
If you’ve come here looking for a photographer to capture an important moment in your life then we want to help you on your search and tell you that Trung is the photographer for you.
It took us a while to find Trung, we interviewed multiple photographers for our wedding, some doing wedding photos as a side job, others doing it as a team while in college, and some who would have cost more than the entire wedding put together. Having decided to do the reception in South San Francisco we did a google search for photographers in the area and Trung came up first.
We sent a request to Trung to meet over zoom and learned about each other. Since the beginning all the way up to the day of our wedding Trung was professional, personable, considerate, and punctual. Trung had made sure to find out before the wedding the types of photos we were looking for, who would be in the photos and the location of each so on the day of the wedding he was well prepared and captured all photos that were a must have.
Not only did Trung work well with us, but he worked well with the other vendors and was even able to help direct those who mostly spoke Vietnamese. We are glad we found Trung, he is the kind of person you would want to invite as a friend to your wedding. And finally, getting to see my beautiful wife on our wedding day and getting to relive the day through Trung's photos is the best money we've ever spent.
Trung is such a talented photographer and we're so happy to have him photograph our wedding. He previously photographed my friend's wedding. They gave a great recommendation and we really liked his portfolio. We decided to hire him and it was best decision ever made because it was great working with him! Our wedding was really fun and he made us feel at ease, without feeling like we were photographed the whole night.
We hired trung for our October wedding this year, and I cannot speak more highly of him! Not only was he an excellent photographer and provided us with beautiful photos, he was proactive throughout the day of our wedding and even helped with doing the bustle of my dress! He was calm, helped us relax taking photos, and was a joy to have at our wedding day. He would be an asset to any couple and I highly recommend hiring him for his services.
As photography was one area we did not want to skimp out for for our wedding, we chose to hire Trung. We are so very happy with our choice. Trung was a pleasure to work with from the beginning, super professional and responsive. He was also super friendly and helpful on the day of the wedding. We love the attention to detail and artistic tone of our wedding photos.
We asked Trung to take our marriage ceremony pictures at City Hall. He was quick to respond to my initial query and had ample examples of his work that more than reassured me that we would love his work. He was professional and friendly throughout. Before the day of the ceremony, Trung made sure to ask what pictures I wanted (e.g. family pictures, poses) and on the day of had many more ideas. My husband and I aren't natural when posing, but Trung made us feel very comfortable and helped us with tips. Overall, great experience.
Trung was a fantastic photographer! He was easygoing and easy to talk with. My husband was a bit nervous but Trung made him laugh and indeed we got some great shots! We both enjoyed our photos, and it also came on the timely manner. We highly recommend Trung for his professionalism and amazing shots!
Fabulous Wedding Photographer!
We choose Trung for our special day of the wedding at Allied Arts Guild, in Menlo Park. We had a small intimate wedding ceremony. Trung took each precious moment and captured it in time for us to save and cherish it forever.
Trung is incredibly talented, and his photos are authentic, romantic, impressive and just fabulous.
His work speaks for itself. But let me talk about how easy and memorable it was to work with Trung.
He makes you feel at ease and comfortable during your session, you completely feel you can be yourselves!
He put so much effort into making us feel relaxed and making memories all while capturing beautiful photos!
With a unique photo style, every moment is so accurately expressed, the love and passion he captures in his art is so incredibly amazing.
Trung is fine art style of photography that really makes you feel all kinds of great emotions!
He is very creative and knows how to direct you without making you feel awkward or uncomfortable. Our session with him was light and fun, and most importantly, personal!
We loved all the photos that came back to us! He was super quick in his responses and very helpful and informative.
We couldn’t be happier with how our photographs turned out!
We were very fortunate to work with Trung!
We would highly recommend him!
10/10 recommend!
Nataša&Vladimir
My husband and I had a small outdoor wedding ceremony and asked Trung to be our photographer. He was easy and flexible to work with despite changing plans because of COVID-19. He made taking the pictures fun and they came out beautifully! The process of getting the photos after the ceremony was simple and fast, and he makes it very easy to order the prints that we wanted! We highly recommend him.
Trung was an amazing photographer to work with, and the easiest of our vendors to work with. He and his wife, who typically shoots with Trung, came to the venue to tour it with us and get a feel for the area. His communication and organization are top notch. Most importantly for my wife who is camera-shy, Trung is great at making people feel comfortable around a camera, and directing poses and looks that he thought would be nice.
As a hobbyist photographer, some things I really appreciated about him are he is someone who is completely ok with you taking the digital files he gives you and editing them yourself, which some photographers do not allow. He also takes amazing landscape photos, and brings those skills and artistic sensibilities into his editing and wedding photography.
Other things about Trung:
1) Punctual
2) Flexible (our wedding ended up running behind and suffered a blackout at the venue, both of which he took in stride)
3) Captures great photos, posed and candid!
My wife and I would hire Trung again in a heartbeat!
We highly recommend Trung! We hired him for our engagement shoot and for our wedding day and we are extremely happy we did. Our engagement photos turned out great. He was extremely easy to work with and provided great feedback for our engagement shoot. On our wedding day, him and his wife were great and captured moments we will cherish forever. We still look at our wedding photos every so often and whenever we do, we smile and remember how special it was. Thank you again Trung!
Trung was such a wonderful photographer! I made sure to let him know what photos I wanted to get and he made it happen. At one point it started drizzling harder and we were able to move so quickly through the family photos and got each combination we were hoping for. He helped wrangle our large bridal party (10 bridesmaids, 6 groomsmen and a flower girl) and truly helped make our day special. He and his partner captured such beautiful moments that we will cherish forever! Definitely recommend!!
We worked with Trung for both our engagement photos and for the day of the wedding, and we could not recommend him enough. Our photos were beautiful, and looked very natural and not overly posed, and really captured the raw energy and emotions of our guests that day. Aside from taking great photos, Trung is always going above and beyond expectations with great attention to detail. We didn’t have a day of coordinator, and Trung didn’t hesitate to jump in as needed during the day to help us usher folks into the reception room, etc. to help the day go by smoothly! He made everyone feel comfortable and our friends and family loved working with him. We got sneak peek photos the very next day, and the full set was delivered in under 4 weeks, where he took extra care to make sure they landed in our inboxes just hours before we landed from our return flight at the end of our honeymoon. Overall just a super professional, fun, thoughtful, and talented photographer that you won’t regret hiring!
Trung and his wife were probably one of the better decisions we made for our wedding. The pictures that we received were beyond our expectations and captured the magic of our special day. Trung was very easy to work with and understood all the in's and out's of what I thought was our complicated venue. He hit every picture on our list and stayed later than we expected to get some frankly hilarious and memorable photos of the late night dancing. He was easy to work with, understanding, and professional so I cannot recommend his services highly enough.
Trung exceeded our expectations for a photographer. My now husband and I opted for a very low key wedding at SF City Hall, but wanted to have nice photos to remember the day.
We “splurged” on getting a professional photographer, but really we got an outstanding deal for the quality and professionalism delivered.
Trung knew exactly where to have us stand for optimal lighting, and how to have us pose while still looking natural. Since he’s had experience with city hall weddings, he helped walk us through the process and where to go. He also stretched the amount of time to more than what we agreed on to ensure we got all the photos we wanted with our families.
Overall, 10/10 experience; would recommend to anyone!
One of the best choices of our wedding was that we had Trung as our photographer. From day one when we met to talk about photography packages, we knew Trung was the perfect person for the job. My husband and I felt comfortable and supported throughout the process. This is something that was extremely important to me. I needed someone I could trust to be in my personal bubble for many hours that day. Trung exudes a confidence that was crucial for our time frame and our to do list. We chose the two-photographer package and it was perfect for what we wanted. I highly recommend this if you want to cover all the formal and candid moments of your wedding. Trung was able to completely focus on us, our close family and wedding party; at the same time, we felt happy knowing our guests and the little details were being captured as well. Now for the photos - they are INCREDIBLE! I love Trung's photography style. We are so grateful to Trung and how he captured us on one of the most important days of our lives.
We were thrilled with Trung throughout the entire process - from planning to the day-of to the final products. He really shined on our wedding day. He was fun and personable, which helped put everyone at ease. He was able to make the family photos happen quickly and they looked great. He and his second shooter managed to be everywhere during the wedding while blending in seamlessly.
He turned the final photos around quickly and they are wonderful. His online albums are nicely organized. It's easy to access and share the photos. He took a great mix of portraits (that don't look too fake/posed) and candids. And, his prices are reasonable in the scheme of Bay Area photographers - and the quality of his work far exceeded what we saw from more expensive photographers. He exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend him!
The husband and I decided to elope at SF city hall and booked Trung to take some simple shots for us and we could not be more happy with the photos we've just received! Everything worked out perfectly. Trung was easy to book, answered all of my questions in a timely manner, came to the shoot on time, and captured BEAUTIFUL moments of the day. The fact that he had previous experience at city hall was a huge plus. Best of all he's got you covered if you're not great at posing/taking pictures like me. THANK YOU Trung for your amazing service, the husband and I will cherish these pictures forever!
Trung was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Besides the incredible photos he provided in a timely manner (more on that below), he was also consistently communicative and present: having him at our wedding helped keep us comfortable throughout the day. Weeks, days, and hours before the wedding, Trung coordinated where/when to meet, helped iron out plans in case of rain, helped us pick out venues to take photos in, etc.
He captured beautiful, candid moments but also provided enough structure to get all the photos of our families and friends that we wanted. It was the perfect balance of staging and capturing genuine moments. He made sure to get the required staged family photos but also turned our quirkiness into some of our favorite photos (like when we unexpectedly came across a vending machine). He and Julie were always there when we wanted a photo, but never in the way--they only ever added to our day.
And, of course, the photos they took were beautiful--consistent in quality but with a variety of styles and effects. They took a stormy and rainy day and somehow made it romantic and intimate. They scoped out the best tiny spots of the venue before the day--spots that we hadn't seen even having visited multiple times! But more than that, they captured the feel of our wedding perfectly. It was chaos, hilarity, and love; that was all captured in the story of photos Trung sent us!
Trung and his second shooter, Julie, are the BEST! He photographed our wedding at The Presidio in San Francisco in December 2018 and we could not be happier with the way the photos came out. From the moment we reached out to Trung to when we received our photos, we got the absolute best services. Trung went above and beyond! He is super responsive, professional and an awesome guy to hang out with. The looks and locations Trung scoped out were the most amazing, beautiful area for us to have our photos taken. Don't hesitate to work with Trung, he is seriously worth it!
Wow, wow wow! We chose Trung for our photographer because we had a venue we loved and wanted to capture. He does AMAZING space shots as well as equally amazing portraits and details shots. He creates beautifully arranged photos and captures the candid moments in artful ways. His eye for capturing a moment was truly awe-inspiring looking at the photos. I absolutely love his work, and his personality. He is so easy going, but can corral a big group together! Everyone we have shown the photos to think they are magazine worthy, and let me tell you, my husband and I are not always the most photogenic. Yet, he made us so. He had the photos back to us so quickly as well! He provided us with three sneak peaks photos THE NEXT MORNING. We woke up, and had these amazing photos to view. I highly recommend them as a photographer for any occasion.
Response from the Vendor on 02/06/2019
Thank you again so much for having me! It was such a beautiful and fun and love-filled day. It was absolute pleasure to be a part of it. You two, and your wonderful friends and family, are absolutely magazine worthy! And don't get me started o...
n the incredible design put together by you and Christine. Thank you again!
Trung was an amazing photographer. He asked me what shots I wanted and we got them. He is professional and great to work with. Beautiful amazing photos. I recommend Trung to everyone. I couldn't be more happy with the results. Thank you Trung
Trung and Julie are hands down the best wedding photographer you will ever find.
First, they are just super nice and easy going people. Me and my husband both felt so comfortable around them and it almost felt like we were close friends by the end of the wedding. Trung and Julie helped out not only the photos but even some other parts like when my husband was struggling with his bow tie, etc.
Second, the quality of the photo is absolutely the best. Trung and Julie knew what part of the venue, what time of the day or what pose would be good and helped us got the best looking photos. They will make sure you look the best and capture the best moment without making you feel awkward or stressed. I was excited when I saw Trung's portfolio on his website cause he has absolutely amazing aesthetic sense but our whole photos even came out better and I can't stop looking at them!! Third, the whole process and service was stress-free and smooth. He would save you from having to go through photos and classify them or print them. He shared a couple of the best photos right after the wedding so we were able to share with friends and family. I also loved his service with how he categorized all the photos by different themes (e.g. getting ready, reception, dance etc) so it was easy to look through and also it was very easy to share with family and friends too. How you get original photos, print ones and albums were all very easy. Also I need to tell you he was very responsive entire process and was very open even with my stupid questions, etc.
I can't thank enough to Trung and Julie for capturing our special day with beautiful photos and making everything so easy and smooth. I would 200% recommend them to anyone who is getting married. It almost feels like my review does not do justice to what we got from them. Just hire Trung and Julie and you will never regret.
This review is long overdue. Trung did an amazing job with our wedding pictures. His communication was clear and quick. He listened to what we wanted and delivered. He was very easy to work with and gave us high quality pictures of our wedding. We are very happy he was our photographer.
Trung was one of the most professional, timely and fantastic photographers I've worked with. He went above and beyond our expectations and even assisted with printing and framing our ceremony photos overnight for our reception the next day.
Working with Trung was enjoyable and he made us laugh and get comfortable in front of the camera which is so important during such a special occasion as getting married.
We can't thank Trung enough for his work and fantastic photos from the wedding, party and reception.
We booked Trung as our photographer for an outdoor engagement photoshoot & for our SF city hall civil ceremony.
His photos are amazing. Our family and friends really love the warm tone of his photos.
Trung was very professional & he made us feel very comfortable during the photoshoots.
I’d highly recommend Trung as your wedding photographer.
Trung is amazing. Period. He did both our engagement photos as well as our big day. I could go on like everyone else and talk about how professional he is, but that doesn't capture all the things that make him such a great wedding photographer. Take a look at his website and his photos speak for themselves.
His photos really fall into two categories and show his two very different strengths. First, He is a master of setting up posed photos. He uses the surroundings and lighting in the most creative and beautiful ways to create beautiful effects. He'll climb though the bushes if he has to in order to make sure he gets that perfect shot, AND he does it quickly, so you don't waste all your precious party time taking photos. (He custom made himself and his assistant, Julie, camera holsters so they can wear two cameras for close up and zoomed out shots without having to waste time changing settings or lenses.) He was also incredibly good at helping us with posing for our couples photos. He helped us relax so we wouldn't look stiff, and told us where to look whether at each other, him, or elsewhere. Honestly, the greatest part of it was that he mostly just kept us laughing and talking so we were hardly ever posing at all.
Second, His candid photos throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are beyond wonderful. I love looking through my photos and seeing the moments that capture raw emotion in the most amazing ways. I can see the pure love and joy in both of our faces as we exited the ceremony, the nervousness on my face before our grand entrance into the reception, the shocked faces of our guests when my new hubby started break-dancing, and so many more.
Trung does more than just take pretty pictures, he tells a story. I am so happy I chose him to capture my wedding story and I love getting to relive my special day each time I look through his amazing photos.
Trung was an amazing photographer! He was very flexible (even when we changed the location of our first look on the morning of our wedding) and made us feel relaxed. He did a great job posing us for our first look shoot and was also able to capture lots of candid moments throughout the day. That was really important to us- that he capture the energy of the day. And he definitely did! We didn't even notice him most of the time but he managed to capture all of the special moments of our day. He emailed us a link to all of the photos exactly a month after the wedding and we couldn't be more happy with the photos he provided. In addition, a few weeks later we received a lovely box in the mail with 100+ photos printed for us. This was a total surprise to us, as we hadn't ordered any, and was a very sweet gesture. In sum, Trung is a great photographer and a wonderful person to work with!
This review is long over due! I hired Trung to be my photographer for my wedding at the Presidio Golf Course in San Francisco. For a day that is usually stressful for the bride & groom thinking of things that could go wrong, it was a relief that by hiring Trung, photography turned out to be completely stress-free. There was absolutely no need to wait on Trung to arrive at the venue as he was already there when we showed up to take pre-wedding pictures at our agreed upon time. He took hundreds of varied pictures of ourselves and our friends/family throughout the ceremony/wedding reception and really captured the moments that mattered. Trung mastered the art of blending in as well as I rarely noticed when he was taking pictures! I also have to note that Trung stayed a little bit extra than our contracted time due to our cake cutting session running behind schedule but he was such a good sport about it. Overall, I was impressed with Trung's professionalism and quality of work; I would highly recommend using him for weddings or any occasion for that matter.
We absolutely loved how our wedding photos came out! Trung did a great job, he got a list of our must have family and friends photos beforehand, and also helped a little with our day of schedule which we appreciated! He captured all the important moments and we love his style. We would definitely recommend him to other brides and grooms!
Trung was my favorite vendor to work with. He was super responsive, detailed, and amazing with follow through. Trung and his assistant, Julie's photography was amazing and they captured all the special moments. We loved the hundreds of photos we received and he quickly helped us build three different albums for us and our families. Everything was done before deadline and with no hassle needed. Trung will be my go-to photographer for any friend who is getting married!
Trung was probably one of our favorite wedding vendors. He did an amazing job from beginning to end.
Before our wedding, we sent him a photo list which he read and sent us clarifying questions. On the day of, he brought this list with him and was careful to get all the shots we asked for.
He and his second photographer Julie were both so personable and made everyone around them feel extremely comfortable. Our relatives all commented on how courteous and accommodating Trung was.
In the "couples photos", my husband and I were nervous about posing because we're not really good at that so we had asked Trung to tell us how to pose. He did a great job of telling us exactly where to stand, which way to turn, how to place our arms, etc. It made a potentially awkward photo session so much easier! And the photos turned out natural and beautiful.
Finally, Trung even made the process of getting photos a special experience. On the evening after the wedding, he sent us a teaser photo, which was absolutely lovely. A week before we were expecting all the photos, he sent us his blog post with a selection of highlight photos. And finally, when he shared all the photos with us, he also mailed us a lovely box with our names embossed on it, a personalized USB drive, and printed highlights photos. And all of the photos were absolutely amazing. He didn't give us thousands of photographs like some wedding photographers might do, but the 700+ photos he did share were all carefully edited and captured the emotions of our special day. Every time I look at our photos, I vividly remember all the little details, moments, and feelings we experienced.
My husband and I are so thankful to Trung and Julie for documenting these life-long memories so well.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Trung and his 2nd shooter Julie. He exceeded all expectations and is the best in the business, and I’m sure of it! Throughout the entire process he was extremely professional, patient, and helpful, even down to the little details like our day-of-timeline. He was able to accommodate our every need, even traveling to South Lake Tahoe for the big day. He really listened to what we wanted and was an absolute pleasure. Trung made us both feel extremely comfortable, which made for natural-looking photos on the day of. When we finally received our wedding photos, we were on our honeymoon and seeing them for the first time completely brought us back to that special day. For someone who is critical of every little detail, I was absolutely stunned at how each and every photo was pure perfection. We were both speechless, how he could somehow capture all the beauty, love, and emotions that were present on the biggest day of our lives, that is true artistry! I would not hesitate to recommend Trung to my friends and family. Congratulations on your engagement Trung & Julie, we're so excited for you both!
First of all ,I really want to thank you Trung for all these beautiful pictures! I was so nervous for the shooting but he communicated with me several times and made me feel he just like a very good friend helping me on my big day:) Trung is very easygoing and accommodating lots of my requests ,if you are looking for something more nature and he will definitely catch the moment for you! AWESOME JOB!
Where should I even start??!! Trung is amazing! I found him on Instagram and I instantly fell in love with his photos! We had our April wedding at home and the photos were to die for!! Our boys loved him as well during our family/engagement session. WE love you Trung! He will be our photographer for life!
What else can I say for such a talented photographer and an all-around wonderful guy! Since finding him online and booking him, he was absolutely a pleasure to work with. Since my wife and I lived out of the area where the wedding would be, we coordinated with him and met him when we could. He took the time to check out the venue without us and gave us his feedback via telephone and email correspondence. He was always willing to answer questions and checked up on us periodically to see what else he could help out with. His talent truly shows in the work he produces and we could not be happier with the results. He has a great, professional work ethic, ability to adapt to changes, and an easy-going personality.
Trung did a fantastic job photographing our wedding!! He captured the most beautiful and meaningful monements! His work is just exquisite and I will cherish our wedding photos forever !! So
Glad we used him !
My husband and I struck gold when we found Trung!!! He did our engagement photos back in February. His laid back yet professional personality made us feel comfortable in front of the camera! The pictures were amazing and we constantly get compliments on them. He just photographed our wedding this month and we were once again impressed with his services. Him and Julie were timely and professional through-out the night. They never got in the way of the events happening, yet captured every minute! From the fine details, to the true candid smiles ...they photographed it all! Our wedding party felt comfortable and had fun with him too, and he somehow captured the perfect group photos of our wild bunch! He had a quick turnaround time when sending the final photos back and we are amazed at the quality and excited to have these pictures for a lifetime. Thank you Trung and Julie! We will be using Trung for future shoots and highly recommend him if you are searching for a fun, talented photographer!
Trung was an absolute pleasure to work with! He helped keep everything light, fun, and stress-free the day of our wedding, and handled himself so well when one of our relatives unexpectedly decided to "shoot" the wedding himself and just rolled with it. He has such a creative eye and was able to capture some very unique shots around San Francisco and some great shots of family and friends that will help us remember our day years from now. Thanks, Trung!
My husband and I are so happy we hired Trung and Julie to photograph our wedding. They did exactly what I was hoping to get from our wedding photos - they perfectly captured the joy that permeated our wedding day. Trung and Julie are both extremely professional, polite, funny, efficient, competent, creative, and excellent at making themselves unnoticed during candid shots. They skillfully fulfilled all of my requests for specific photos. Trung delivered 1000 photos from 10 hours of coverage, and it's been really difficult paring the full set down to our favorites for a photo album. If you're looking for a photojournalistic approach with a flair for creativity, you won't regret hiring Trung as your wedding photographer!
Trung Hoang was our photographer and my husband and I are extremely pleased with the photos Trung took at our wedding in May.
We loved his portfolio and his style of photography (more photojournalism rather than overly posed) and knew that we wanted a photographer who could capture all the little details that we were going to miss while we ran around with all the various wedding activities that needed our attention that day. We were even more sure after meeting Trung and found him easy to talk to, fun, and laid back and got a chance to see more samples of a full wedding shoot and his printed books (very nice quality).
On the day of our wedding we had Trung and Julie, his second shooter, booked for ten hours and they worked hard the entire time. Trung managed to find the perfect backdrops for our first look and other portraits we took throughout the day. Some of our portraits are along a busy walkway but you can't tell at all by the way he framed the shots.
Trung delivered photos quickly and sent us a nice package with a flash drive, a framed portrait of us, and a small box of printed photos. We plan on having Trung put together a book for us (a few copies will make great gifts for the parents) and he provided a proof very quickly.
We have nothing but praise for Trung Hoang Photography and definitely recommend him to any couple looking for a wedding photographer in the Bay Area or beyond (he has great travel/landscape photos too!).
Trung is a gem. We worked with him for our wedding in June and we couldn't be happier with him or his photographs. He is laid-back, organized, and great at communicating. He is also magical. My husband and I consider ourselves to be pretty awkward in front of a camera - he made us feel so at ease that we forgot that he was taking pictures of us. Our guests also loved him because he and his co-photographer were gracious and not all up in their faces when they were having fun. I can't recommend him enough!
Trung is truely a great photographer. Not only is he a great photographer and artist, grabbing some very special moments from our special day, but he is funny, great at directing, and very personable. I highly recommend him for any event!

My name is Trung, the head honcho at this eponymously named company. My name is pronounced “Troon”, which sounds like spoon, so ignore those other letters that make life complicated.
I’m born, raised, and still residing in the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife Julie. You can often find me; at home watching sports, in the kitchen experimenting with a new technique, drinking or roasting coffee, or just finding some form of salty snack to enjoy (I will eat all things fried potato), getting up at an unnecessary time in the morning to catch a sunrise, or on an outdoor adventure with Julie.
