Tyler Vu is an absolutely fantastic wedding photographer! He shot our wedding in October, and we couldn't be happier. Right off the bat, his warm personality put us at ease - especially my husband, who's usually shy in front of the camera. Tyler has this amazing ability to give clear direction while keeping everything fun and natural. His creativity really shines through in his work, and he has an eye for unique angles and special moments.

What really impressed us was how smoothly he handled our large family photos. Being Vietnamese himself, Tyler was able to communicate effortlessly with our Vietnamese family members, making the group photo session so much more efficient and enjoyable. It was such a relief having someone who could corral everyone into place while making them feel comfortable and included!

As a San Jose local, Tyler was invaluable in finding the perfect photo locations. He took us to stunning spots throughout downtown that we would have never discovered on our own, each one offering something special for our wedding photos. His knowledge of the area and how to capture its beauty really elevated our entire photo collection.

The final photos exceeded our expectations in every way - he captured both the big moments and all those small, precious details perfectly. He has a true talent for telling the story of your day through his lens. Tyler went above and beyond with the quality and quantity of shots he provided us. I’d highly recommend Tyler for anyone looking for a skilled wedding photographer who makes the experience fun and memorable!

I had a great experience with Tyler and his team for our wedding day. They were professional and arrived early to lead the way. I could really see Tyler's passion and dedication to capturing our special day. Every moment was beautifully captured.

Tyler, his second-shooters and assistants were all a wonderful team to work with. They worked with us early on to understand our preferences and what we expected. I think this was key for the photo crew to stay responsive to the dynamics of the wedding day without having to pressure us on the day (And we certainly had schedule changes and weather conditions that it paid to be adaptable to). They also knew our wedding venue well (having shot there before)

All-in-all I can whole-heartedly endorse Tyler and team. We found them responsive, professional, affordable, and friendly. As for the end-results, they went above and beyond in delivering many high quality photos (and raw short videos that made it into our final cut wedding videos)

My husband and I were fortunate to book Tyler to be the photographer at our wedding via Casa Real at Ruby Hill's preferred vendor list. During our initial call, Tyler walked us through the packages that he offered and also showed us photos from work he'd previously done at the venue. We were truly impressed with his professionalism and expertise.
The day of the wedding was a complete blur but Tyler and his team showed up early and took the lead immediately. We were able to get our first look photos and wedding party photos completed prior to the ceremony. The fact that Tyler photographs weddings often at the venue really played into his expertise ability to pick stunning areas with gorgeous backdrops for us to be photographed. We had so much fun and most importantly we felt comfortable knowing we were in great hands.
We recently received our wedding photos and we were stunned, completely in awe! The clarify of the photos, the lighting and the poses were spot on. There was not one single photo included that was a let down. Tyler exceeded our expectations and truly brought the best day of our lives back to life! We will recommend Tyler to everyone we know!

Tyler came highly recommended from a few of our friends in the Bay Area and from our bridal party who heard great things for wedding photography. We came across his Instagram and loved the type of photos that he captured. This was still in the early post pandemic months of 2021 where people were still on the fence about going out, but after reaching out, I loved the fact that he wanted to meet us in person to get to know us a little more and to talk about what we imagined our day would be. From the initial meeting, we knew exactly who we wanted as our photographer, and we had such a pleasure working with Tyler for our engagement photos and for our wedding day. Tyler did great with my mom and was super easy-going to our bridal party which is a major plus! We had an overall great experience working with Tyler and had so much fun during our photo shoots. Tyler is an amazing photographer and knows exactly when and how to pinpoint the perfect timing of the sun for great light exposure to capture that perfect shot!

Tyler is amazing! When looking for a photographer, you need someone who takes the time to understand your vision, adds his professional inputs, and can run with it. Tyler patiently sat with us twice to go over and plan the photographs that we wanted. He had great input and looking back at the pictures he has an amazing eye for details. I am not comfortable in front of the camera but he was able to prompt us so that we don't feel so stiff and captured real emotions in the moment. There are no words to express my gratitude for his help and professionalism. I highly recommend to everyone to hire him for your big photography moments - you won't regret it.

We had a crazy busy rehearsal dinner and wedding schedule, but Tyler and his team were always there with us every step of the way, capturing all of our special moments. We don't really know how to pose and are often awkward in front of the camera, but Tyer knew what to do with us and made us feel comfortable the entire time. Not only is he a true professional (always responds quickly to texts and emails), he is fun to be around and a joy to work with!

So many of the photos he gave us were stunning and emotional. He wasn't just taking photos but captured our story throughout the weekend. He went out of his way (even moving heavy furniture) to get the perfect composition on staged shots--but the candid shots surprised and delighted us as well! The level of creativity, composition, and color balancing was exactly our style and we loved it.

We are so grateful that he was our photographer for our special weekend. We highly recommend Tyler for all your photography needs!

We initially booked Tyler for our wedding on August 2020. However, due to the pandemic, we had to postpone our wedding until 2022. Tyler was very understanding and accommodating given the circumstances and we were able to keep him as our photographer for our wedding two years later.

On the day of the wedding, Tyler and his team were very professional and helped our bridal party and family stay on track with the schedule.  You can tell Tyler has a lot of experience because he was very time efficient with the photos during each part of the wedding day.  They were very easy to work with. Tyler got along with everyone, from the older family members to the young children.  His team was able to capture countless precious moments throughout the day and his photos tell our story. 

His photos were outstanding and his work speaks for itself.  We highly recommend Tyler and his team to capture your special occasions!

Tyler was very professional throughout our entire wedding. He was very on top of everything that is going on. His impressive time management allowed us to squeeze in all kinds of pictures that included all family members, friends, and of course dedicated pictures of just me and my wife. The sunset photo session was very nice, and some sneak peaks we got so far look awesome! Can't wait to get the rest of them! Our engagement photos were breathtaking and we were able to display some of them at our wedding. His communication is well-mannered and timely, which really helped us out as busy wedding planners! Overall, Tyler did an amazing job at everything he was tasked to do. I would certainly recommend him as your next photographer!! You won't be disappointed!

One of the most important pieces of advice I can offer you as you plan your wedding is to make sure you love your photographer as much as you love your dress! Choosing our photographer was one of the most important checklist item on our list. After researching many photographers, my husband and I decided on Tyler.

Tyler shot our engagement photos and since that day I knew we made the right choice. By the way, I highly recommend you to book an engagement session with the photographer that will shoot your wedding day. This way you’ll get to know your photographer beforehand and also have an idea on their shooting style. Most importantly, you’ll have an idea on how your wedding photos will look. That being said, our e-session photos came out BEAUTIFULLY and we received so many compliments from our friends and family. We spent most of the day together shooting in a forest then changing the scenery to the beach during golden hour. Tyler knew how much I loved sunsets, and he made sure that we were able to capture the most magical and perfect sunset photo. He went above and beyond our expectations that day, and we couldn’t wait for him to shoot our photos on our actual wedding day.

On the day of our wedding, Tyler was punctual and navigated the day super smoothly. He’s truly an expert at what he does. All my family and friends also loved him and his crew! They made everyone feel comfortable and was always respectful to the guests and other vendors, which is not always the case with other photographers. Tyler was with us for the majority of the day and he had to fly out for his own honeymoon the next morning, so I was surprised to find teasers the next morning. This man spent time editing teasers for us right before his flight! I mean what does that say about him? He’s an AMAZING professional and we appreciate him so much.

So how did our wedding photos turnout? Outstanding as expected! Getting our photos back was like Christmas morning. Going through our photos brought back so much emotions. He was able to capture all the right moments at the most perfect time. Our photos were timeless and classic with a touch of romance and even a bit of edginess. We loved ALL our photos.

Tyler... you are truly a professional and more than just a photographer—you’re an amazing artist and story teller. You have the ability to approach the day with intention and brought our wedding story to life in a cohesive set of images. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for capturing our special day!
