A fantastic team!

Working with Danny and Julia was an absolute delight from start to finish! From our first meeting, they demonstrated incredible professionalism and a genuinely warm presence that made us feel instantly at ease. Their expertise and attentive nature were evident throughout our wedding day, capturing every significant moment with grace and efficiency. They are a fantastic team—both friendly and exceptionally skilled, ensuring that everything went smoothly. Even though we are still eagerly awaiting the final photos, the experience on the day was so positive that we are confident the results will be nothing short of spectacular. We highly recommend Danny and Julia to anyone looking for photographers who can make your special day both memorable and enjoyable.

We Love Danny!

We loved working with Danny and his team. Danny did our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. He's so professional, but also super friendly and easy to get along with. We picked him originally because his editing style is super unique and beautiful, but we found that his personality is another bonus we discovered.
The reason why you should definitely pick Danny for your photos is: 1. It's actually really important to have a photographer who knows how to set you up for good shots that are also candid looking. Danny gives really great direction and is able to guide the whole bridal party into cute poses that look great in the photos. 2. Danny is also really fun, he does this thing where he makes hilarious comments and is just constantly laughing/chuckling, which makes everyone in the photos laugh as well. This results in super candid photos that looks great. 3. Danny works really hard for you! Our first dance was really animated and some of our friends were taking video and you could see Danny and his second shooter sprinting across the room to try to get the best shots. 4. Danny's editing skills are super unique. When we were looking at photos from other photographers, they all started to blur together and the styles all felt really similar. Danny's photos definitely stand out. He's really great at taking a whole bunch of styles of photos (zoomed in, zoomed out, dramatic, sweet, etc.) and then his editing style is so clean, clear, and beautiful. He really has a good eye for photography and photo editing.
We really love Danny and highly recommend you to pick him to be your photographer. We will definitely pick him for any future occasions that we have!

Best Decison I made

Danny & Julia deserve over 5 stars.
Before our wedding, Danny spent time to went through the wedding day timeline, photo tools we need, lighting, and preferred photo style. He confirmed all the details before the wedding.
During my wedding (it was a full day). Danny & Julia spent each and every moment capturing my wedding details and a great guide on what I should do. (I'm a photo numb)
They captured numerous pictures and sent me everything. All photos, color corrected photos, well-edited photos were sent to me in a timely manner.
I love my photos!!!!
I highly recommend them based on how professional and how amazing the pictures are.

Best photographer!

Danny and his wife are the best!

My wife first found Danny though seeing his work in person and upon seeing it myself, I completely agreed; this was the style we were looking for to capture our special moment. During these years that we've worked with Danny (our wedding had to be postponed due to the pandemic), Danny was extremely professional and went above and beyond to our expectations. Whenever we had a question, he would always answer promptly. It wasn't just prior to us choosing him, but more importantly after the fact we had signed the contract.

Danny is super understanding of the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the world to this day. We were extremely grateful that we were able to move our wedding to a new date with no additional cost.

On the day of the wedding and engagement shoots, he came prepare with poses and timing for the best photos. Though our wedding day ended up on a predominately over cast sky, he was able to improvise on the spot what new poses/locations to take photos. While we were saddened we didn't get the "golden hour shot" due to mother nature, we got something even better. We used my racecar as a prop and we got some really nice dramatic shots!

We would highly recommend Danny to anyone looking for a professional wedding photographer.

Best Photographer!!

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Danny and Julia went above and beyond for us to make my husband and I feel special on our wedding day. This was one of the best decisions we ever made choosing Danny Dong Photography for our intimate wedding.

Due to COVID - 19 we had to cancel our wedding in San Diego and were left scrambling to find what we could do to try and have it on the same day as planned. Originally, I reached out to Danny Dong when we were shopping for a photographer and I was sad to hear he was booked on the day we needed. Although, I let him know he was our first choice and if anything changed to please let us know. He called me right in time and let me know he had a cancellation that day and was able to shoot our wedding! This was our first time having professional photos done and they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Danny and Julia were so patient and accommodating especially with me being a late bride and needing to extend our time. Our pictures came out more beautiful than I could have ever hoped for!

Thank you Danny and Julia for making our wedding day so special and creating gorgeous, lasting memories that we will be able to share and view for years to come.

Amazing photographer and choice for weddings!

Danny is a true professional whose work really speaks for itself. We came across his portfolio while searching for a wedding photographer and can confidently say that we made the right choice. He and his team are incredible at capturing the perfect moments that we can remember for the rest of our lifetime. He knows how to engage with people to get the best smiles and poses for photos and his editing ability produces truly marvellous pictures.

Best photographer ever!

We choose Danny Dong as our wedding photographer based on reviews, photographers style and friends recommendations. We could not have been happier with how the whole experience turned out! From our initial email to Danny, he’s been the most responsive at answering all of our questions and getting back to us promptly. He was able to meet with us a couple of times before the wedding: first meeting, going over contract and details to finalizing the timeline of the big day. He gave us many recommendations specifically about the wedding venue that was so helpful in capturing the essence of our day. We were amazed at how the pictures turned out!!!!! From how it was shot, and how great the colors and lighting turned out! He was able to capture the most intimate moments not only between my husband and I, but also with close family and friends :) He’s truly one of the best photographers and you won’t regret booking him for your big day!

Amazing wedding photographer!

A+ Photographer. Our wedding was about 10 months ago - and now that the dust has settled - the only memories of our special day are our pictures and videos. Danny was a pleasure to work with, on-time, professional and flexible with great attitude. He mastered outdoor venue, family portraits and indoor barn (little to no indoor lights) beautifully. Every time I look at my pictures, I feel like I’m reliving our day from start to finish. Thank you so much, Danny, for capturing our special day, every moment and expression is priceless, and if I were to plan our wedding again (or any wedding), I would prioritize hiring Danny and his team in a heartbeat.

Danny was the photographer for our wedding. We knew he was amazing from his work during and after my friends' wedding last summer. My friend's husband is an amateur (but serious) photographer, so we knew Danny Dong must be spectacular to have passed his extensive research on wedding photographers. During our various venue visits, one name also kept showing up consistently all over the Bay Area, and that was - you guessed it - Danny Dong.

Danny was very responsive prior to the wedding. On the day of, he arrived early and was just absolutely incredible throughout the long 9-hour session that we were fortunate enough to have him for. He was wonderful with my parents, my bridal party, and of course, us. He found the best lighting, the best angles, and the best spots at the venues for beautiful pictures. The time he spent putting into taking just shots of the wedding shoes and the rings really reinforced what we already knew about his professionalism and creativity.

My husband and I aren't exactly the kind that know much (or anything) about posing for photos, but Danny was patient, funny, and positive throughout the whole time. My friend's husband said it made his day during the reception because he got to sit Danny Dong, because he is just such a big deal (but oh so very nice, humble, and an absolute pleasure to work with).

Highly recommended. Thank you, Danny!

I had my wedding on Chinese New Year. That being said Danny was even available on to work on that day!! Wow talk about professionalism. He was so nice and patient with all my wedding parties!!

I just saw my wedding photos and I cannot believe how nice those photos came out. I love how he is able to catch some perfect moments in our life. Like our ring exchange and first dance. Our photo shoots was very fun and relaxing.

Thank you Danny for all of your hardwork and patience. If your are looking for a professional and amazing photographer, Danny is your man!!!

Simply The Finest, Weddings & Events by Samantha Olson Simply The Finest, Weddings & Events by Samantha Olson Wedding Planners

I had the pleasure of planning a wedding that this amazing, creative photographer was the photographer for on July, 26th 2014. He and his wife are amazing. They are kind spirited people who make sure their clients get 100% satisfaction. They are determined to create the perfect atmosphere for the perfect shots. When I heard I would be working with this photographer on a wedding I would have to say I was pretty excited. When we finally met in person the day of the rehearsal my excitement tuned into awe. Watching him and his wife at work was a great experience. They are stealthy movers and don't disrupt in order to get a perfect shot. :o) They truly are an amazing duo and I hope to get the pleasure of working with them again.
