    Artistic Photographer

    I've had the pleasure of working with Duy Ho Photography on both luxury weddings and proposal experiences, and he consistently delivers exceptional work. His photography style is the perfect blend of authentic storytelling and editorial portraiture, creating images that feel both elevated and deeply personal.

    Duy has an incredible ability to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera, resulting in photographs that are artistic, effortless, and natural. He captures genuine emotion while also creating beautifully composed images that belong in a magazine. His attention to detail, calm presence, and ability to anticipate meaningful moments make him an invaluable part of any event team.

    For couples looking for photography that feels timeless, sophisticated, and true to who they are, I wholeheartedly recommend Duy Ho Photography.

    The Best Bay Area Photographer Ever!

    Duy is an exceptionally talented wedding photographer, and we could not be more thrilled with our experience. He previously photographed my sister’s wedding and one of my close friend’s weddings, and from the moment I saw their photos, I knew I loved his work.

    From start to finish, Duy exceeded all of our expectations. The photos are absolutely stunning and capture the day so beautifully that it truly feels like reliving each moment all over again. His ability to bring emotion, movement, and storytelling to life through his images is extraordinary.

    Not only is Duy incredibly talented, but he is also kind, calm, and reassuring — both throughout the lead-up to the wedding and on the day itself. His presence made the entire process feel seamless. We are so grateful for the priceless memories he has given us and cannot recommend him highly enough!

    Duy was the best decision we made for our wedding (besides getting married)!

    We worked with Duy for our engagement session and our micro wedding ceremony at the Legion of Honor. The experience was beyond anything we expected.

    He took time to understand us. He noticed our natural movements, our personalities, and the energy of the spaces. During the ceremony, he captured moments quietly and candidly. During portraits, he gave clear and gentle direction that helped us feel confident. We had no photography experience at all, and he guided us in a way that felt easy and comfortable.

    He delivered our engagement photos and wedding teasers/full gallery very quickly. Since our wedding was a micro ceremony with only our immediate families, sharing the images with friends and loved ones has been so meaningful.

    The results are stunning. The photos have depth, feeling, and a sense of place. You can see how carefully he composes each scene without ever interrupting the flow of the day.

    Duy is also someone you trust right away. His presence is warm, steady, and respectful. We felt cared for from start to finish, and we appreciated how collaborative he was.

    We could not recommend him more. His work goes beyond “pretty photos.” It tells a story you can feel.

    Highly recommend Duy as a wedding photographer!

    We booked Duy for the 10-hour wedding package, which included our engagement shoot, and he was absolutely amazing. My husband and I are usually awkward in front of the camera, but Duy made us feel so comfortable — our photos turned out beautiful! On the wedding day, he was with us from the first look through the end of the night, always friendly, calm, and easy to talk to. The group photos after the ceremony were super efficient thanks to his assistant calling out all the names — we were even ahead of schedule and had time to take more photos around the ceremony site before heading to the reception. Duy also went above and beyond to capture shots I really wanted, like with our floral arch, and they turned out beautifully artistic. He’s super responsive, and even the preview photos we’ve received are stunning — we can’t wait for the full set and our album!

    Wedding Photography

    Duy photographed our wedding and we had such a fun timing shooting with him! Our photos came out so unbelievably amazing that we couldn’t even choose our favorite because they were all so perfect. We took photos around SF and I had a very specific vision for a few that Duy brought to life and absolutely exceeded expectations. He was very patient, personable, thoughtfully listened to our wants, and made it happen. He is incredibly talented and we cannot recommend him enough!!

    Best vendor yet!


    Photography was a top priority for us when choosing our wedding vendors—after all, the photos are what truly last beyond the day. Duy’s work speaks for itself and we chose him because of his creative, timeless, and authentic lens that shines through his portfolio. What we didn’t realize until working with him was just how invaluable his demeanor would be.

    Duy is the perfect balance of professional and easygoing. He brings a calm, empathetic presence that put us at ease from our engagement shoot to the big day itself. We had a couple of scheduling hiccups while getting ready, but Duy handled it all with grace – seamlessly pivoting to make sure we still got every single shot on our wish list. He was an absolute pleasure to work with — not just from our perspective, but from our wedding party and family’s comments after the wedding as well.

    And the photos? Stunning! Duy and his team perfectly captured the emotions and energy of the day, with a beautiful mix of candid moments, classic poses, and joyful, fun shots. We’re beyond thrilled with the results. Catch him while you can, Duy is going (more) places!

    Intimate, honest, beautiful wedding photographer! HIGHLY recommend!

    I cannot recommend Duy Ho and his team enough! From the moment we saw his work he was on the top of our list of photographers. My husband and I didn't just want someone who could get great shots of us as a couple, but someone who could really capture the entire day and all of those who were a part of it. Duy captured all the shots we wanted and so many more. He was very generous with his time, answering all our questions and making himself available to meet with us. He helped us hone in on our timeline to ensure we got all the shots we wanted in each location we had celebrations at through the day and his work so beautifully captured our wedding. At moments we had ideas of where we might want to stage family portraits but needed his help and his eye for architecture found us the exact right spot, he lead us and our HUGE family through rounds of portraits with great ease. His team worked seamlessly with our other vendors and they were very kind and helpful throughout the day. When we got our teasers and photos back we were absolutely BLOWN AWAY. There's so much intimacy in his style of shooting, something we knew we wanted captured. His eye for capturing moments ensured we had photos as my husband offered a prayer at the end of our ceremony, Duy caught the moment the doors of the church opened and I saw my husband for the first time, he got my maid of honor staring at me lovingly as I got ready. The list of moments he captured goes on and on - as a bride the day swirls around so furiously and is over so quick, that to have such a skilled team preserve the day from so many angles I couldn't see is something I am so grateful for. We knew from the moment we saw his work that he would capture the day in the way we hoped, and he absolutely delivered. His photographs of our wedding are so honest they bring us back to the emotions of the day every time we open our gallery. Thank you so much to Duy and his team for documenting the biggest day of our lives. We truly couldn't have done it without you!!

    Duy is an artist

    We are so, so, SO happy we chose Duy as our wedding photographer! We were looking for cinematic, emotional, beautiful images, and boy oh boy did he deliver. He made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera, and captured our personalities perfectly. He has an amazing eye, not just for composition of a frame but for capturing the emotion of the day as well. He also really paid attention to the things that were important to us on our wedding day. For example, we had four 90+ year-olds (one was 99!) at the wedding, and it was very important to us to have great photos of our elders at the wedding. Duy captured some really beautiful images of our grandparents that we will cherish forever, in addition to serving us some absolutely FIRE couples portraits/candids of our guests/etc. He also brought on a second shooter for part of the day who absolutely crushed her shots, too.

    Duy is also wonderful to work with on the day – he brings an energy that is professional, calming, fun and positive. We had a blast with him. Also, he delivered our sneaks SO FAST?!?! I was amazed. And our full gallery arrived sooner than expected, too. We were super impressed.

    If you’re looking for a luxury-style photographer to deliver incredibly high-end images in addition to being a fun, positive collaborator, look no farther than Duy! Wish we could relive the day but are SO happy we have these stunning, Vogue-quality images to look back on forever!!

    A Halloween Event to Remember

    Duy Ho's photography beautifully encapsulated the essence of our intimate Halloween wedding ceremony at San Francisco City Hall. His ability to capture the authenticity of the moment was truly remarkable. Each photograph felt like a window into the emotions and atmosphere of the day, preserving every laugh, every tear, and every loving glance with precision and care. Duy's professionalism was evident from our initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos. He approached our special day with a keen eye for detail and an artistic flair that elevated each image into a work of art. His dedication to ensuring that every important aspect of the day was captured authentically was evident in his unwavering commitment and flexibility throughout the event.

    Despite the intricacies of capturing a Halloween wedding in such a historic venue, Duy ensured that we received our photos promptly, allowing us to relive the magic of our day almost immediately. His willingness to go above and beyond to accommodate our requests and his commitment to delivering exceptional results make him an outstanding choice for any couple seeking a wedding photographer who can truly capture the heart and soul of their special day. We are endlessly grateful to Duy for providing us with memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. He is truly so fun, so professional, so kind, and really the perfect photographer to share your special day with!!
    HES THE BEST!

    NYTimes quality wedding photographer

    Everyone can claim to be a photographer now, especially since we all carry a camera around via our smartphones. But not everyone can claim to be a good photographer or has an eye for detail which Duy Ho definitely has. If you are an avid reader of the NYTimes wedding section, which I have been for years, there is a certain style of photography that catches your eye - they are subtle, but magical, ie..couple sneaking glances at one another, a teary eyed father-of-the-bride, a nervous ring bearer, etc…- Duy Ho’s photographs embody that style. I have been in advertising and marketing in SF, NY and LA for close to 30 years and have a strong appreciation and pretty high standards for creative work. So when it came to hiring a photographer for our wedding, I took the task of finding a good photographer very seriously. I scoured through tons of wedding photographers' portfolios in the Bay Area and can honestly say, there isn’t even a close second. So when Duy told me he was available for our September 29th wedding, I didn’t even hesitate to book him and sure enough, my instincts were right, he was amazing. We have shared our wedding photos with many of our friends and family and they all have said the same thing about Duy’s photographs. They all love the small details, the lighting quality and how he was able to capture emotions in his journalistic photos. We've had people tell us our photos could be on the cover of a magazine and two people, one a New Yorker, told us our wedding photos belong in the NYTimes. Aside from his eye for detail, he was also a joy to work with. He was professional from beginning to end. We had two meetings with him prior to our wedding. The first one was to go over what to expect from him and the second meeting was to go over the wedding timeline and what types of photos we would like him to capture, besides the journalistic ones, any formal portraits or anything that would be important on that day. You can tell a lot about his work not just by looking at his portfolio, but also his instagram posts. He seems to keep it pretty current, so you can get a good idea of lighting quality based on the time of year the wedding is taking place. It is obvious he takes pride in his work and is truly passionate about it. I couldn’t recommend Duy enough. And yes, I will be submitting our love story to the NYTimes, especially since we have a large amount of amazing photos to choose from, thanks to Duy.

    The best :d

    Duy photographed my August 2023 wedding, and his artistic sense and professionalism were phenomenal!

    Initially, his portfolio stood out to me due to his excellent composition and editing style. Compared to a lot of other "photographers" out there, Duy has full mastery over the fundamentals – from how he frames his subjects, to his usage of space, the stories that the photos tell, and more. He doesn't take weird photos of the bride's behind or random photos with no space above one's head; his photos all make you look and feel good! :) His editing style is also very natural – no over saturated colors, no fake noir style graininess – so your wedding will preserved exactly as it was.

    During the planning phase, he was very proactive in reaching out to us and going through all the details of our schedule – enumerating all the formal portraits, when each portrait session would happen, what events needed to be documented when, etc. The day of, everything was executed as planned. He was always there when things were happening, never intrusive but always ready.

    So in summary, Duy takes wonderful photos, is very professional, and you should totally book him :)

    Best Wedding Photographer!

    Duy Ho is hands-down the best wedding photographer! He captured our day perfectly, from super special moments like our first look and ceremony, to the details throughout the venue, to the priceless candid photos of our nearest and dearest having fun and dancing the night away.

    We actually connected with Duy before hiring him when we were deciding between two venues in San Francisco and saw that Duy had photographed weddings at both. He was super responsive and gave us objective and helpful information to consider, which really helped us to make a decision.

    After choosing our venue, we were thrilled to see Duy on the preferred vendor list. Of course, we did our due diligence by chatting with all of the other preferred photographers, but Duy stood out to us on an artistic, professional, and personal level. We love his style of photography and wanted to work with a photographer who was already familiar with our venue. We also preferred working with an individual photographer, rather than with a larger company, to have that personal touch, and Duy made us feel heard and like we would be well-taken care of. 

    Everything was smooth sailing once we hired Duy. He continued to be lightning-quick to answer our millions of questions. As we were finalizing our day-of timeline, Duy was very open to our ideas and also provided extremely helpful feedback and suggestions to make our timeline as efficient and easy as possible. For example, my husband and I both wanted portraits of our extended families, which are large (like, 20+ people on each of our parents' sides), in addition to the wedding party and immediate family portraits (also not small). Given our venue's very strict time and space constraints, Duy helped us brainstorm different scenarios to make sure that we got all of those shots. Duy absolutely nailed it, thanks to a lot of flexibility and creative maneuvering on his part. Additionally, Duy's calm demeanor helped us to relax and really enjoy every moment of the day.

    My husband and I have been swooning over all of our wedding photos and it has been so much fun sharing them with our family and friends. I think we will all be looking and relooking at these photos for a long time, thanks to Duy!

    Great Wedding Photographer

    Duy is a great wedding photographer! I recommend him for all your pre-wedding, ceremony and reception photos. He is friendly, professional and has a great feeling of mood, angle and lighting! Duy took the photos of a wedding in Indo Restaurant Palo Alto, CA. I am adding one for your viewing. Dina's Deluxe Events

    Overjoyed with our elopement photos!

    We were initially impressed by Duy’s aesthetic and style from looking at the examples of his work on his website. He is experienced and knows exactly what he is doing, fading into the background to get his shots. He captured so many wonderful small moments during the preparation and the important moments during the ceremony, as well as posed shots. He made the most of the setting, knowing exactly how to position us to get the nicest shots. Duy provided photos that truly captured the most important parts of our elopement and our family. He is a lovely person with a nice energy we were happy to have with us on our special day. We would definitely recommend him!

    Duy is Unforgettable!!

    Duy is a true artist and professional. When we met Duy, we knew he had to photograph our wedding. When we originally saw Duy’s website and Instagram, we were in awe of his style, and the amount of stunning shots he had – both candid and posed. He is personable and a great listener – Duy took into account concerns we had with our large bridal party size, switching locations a number of times and other ever changing elements and navigated them all seamlessly. On the day of the wedding, we also observed how much of a calming presence he is as well. While the most exciting day, there were still many stressors, and Duy had such a cool, calm, yet commanding approach to everything, leaving the rest of us feeling completely taken care of. His approach is unobtrusive, methodical and produces stunning photos. While many photographers can capture the moments as they happen, Duy has the ability to capture much more. He has the unique ability to capture the full essence of the moments on camera. When he delivered us all the photos from our wedding day, my husband and I were shocked at how beautiful each and every photo was. Everyone who has seen our photos agrees - Duy is truly gifted. Don’t second guess booking Duy, you will not regret it.

    We love our wedding photos

    Duy Ho photographed our wedding in October and we couldn’t be happier with the results! He provided way more photos than we even expected, in addition to so much great footage with our video add-on. He is also really skilled at editing and was able to deliver our photos and vidoes to us before Thanksgiving. We were on the fence about adding the videography portion, but now I’m so glad we did. Our families loved looking through the photos and watching the highlight video when we got together. Duy really understands angles and lighting to get the best shot. Our favorite part about Duy’s work is that he not only captures all of the classic staple moments of the wedding, but also the candid little moments that we may have overlooked or been too busy to notice on our wedding day. We loved all of the *truly* candid moments he was able to memorialize to help us remember different aspects of our special day. If you’re looking for a photographer who can take the kind of photos that you’ll look back on years from now and truly remember how you FELT that day, Duy is the one.

    Perfect experience and product

    We cannot be happier with having Duy as our wedding and tea ceremony photographer. Duy made the whole process so easy from beginning to end. Before our wedding day, Duy met with us to go over exactly what our plans were and what we were looking for. Duy and his team were punctual and professional for all our events. Simply put, we felt so comfortable during our wedding events and had so much fun with Duy. He even laughed at our nervous corny jokes. For many, the most important aspect of hiring a wedding photographer is the photos. Duy delivered work product that went above and beyond our expectations, both in terms of quality and quantity. He gave us so many photos that were all edited to perfection. Both posed photographs and candid photographs were shot so well by Duy. One thing we were hesitant with Duy about was his ability to corral our families for group portraits since he is on the quieter side. But every group photo has everyone smiling and perfectly position. The day was a blur so we aren't sure how he was able to make it all happen. All of our family and friends have complemented us on the photos. We also booked a wedding video with Duy and it is wonderful. Our parents have it on a loop on their TVs. We can't recommend Duy enough!

    Effortless Wedding Day with Duy!

    As a groom, I was very unfamiliar with the world of wedding photography. My wife and I reviewed close to a dozen portfolios of photographers in the Bay Area, and every one had something missing. Some were too expensive, some didn’t have the eye we were looking for, and others didn’t even respond to our inquiries.

    As we were beginning to get worried about finding a photographer, we came across Duy’s website and were instantly captivated. His work had an authenticity about it that we hadn’t seen with other vendors, so we knew we had to talk to him. It was the best decision we made for our wedding.

    Duy spent 3 hours with us in downtown San Francisco doing an engagement shoot, which was key to getting us comfortable with his style and being photographed generally. We felt immensely at ease and very “in the moment” — we had locations in mind but the shots and poses were spontaneous, dictated by the conditions and our chemistry.

    For the wedding, Duy and his assistant were consummate professionals. They coordinated with our wedding planner and other vendors, kept on schedule (timelines are crucial!), and captured our day perfectly. We never felt rushed or overly produced, but his experience and attention to detail were evident that day. The shots turned out better than I could have imagined, and were truly unique to who my wife and I are as a couple.

    I recommend Duy to all my friends who are looking for a photographer, and make the same recommendation to whoever is reading this review. You won’t regret it!

    Two BIG thumbs up for Duy!

    Where do we even start?! We work with Duy for both our engagement photos as well as our day-of wedding photos. It was clear from the start that he takes his craft seriously and his immense talent was evident from the first photo we saw. His cool, calm demeanor throughout the entire process and events was exactly what these newlyweds needed! Duy knew the exact moments when to lend his ideas while also sitting back and just let the day unfold. We seriously could not have picked a better person to work with and capture all of the special moments on our big day! You cannot go wrong with choosing Duy - we guarantee it!

    Perfect photographer

    If I had to do it all over again I would pick Duy every time. Professional, kind, warm, he was everything we wanted and needed for our wedding. He helped us feel comfortable and our photos are absolutely gorgeous. I cannot recommend him enough. I am so happy with our photos and I am happy he was able to guide us through the day and provide photos I couldn't have dreamed of. 10/10

    Sophisticated photos that tell stories

    Booking Duy as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. If you are considering him, do it - I promise you won't regret it!!!

    When we first found Duy, we were drawn to his ability to balance authenticity, sophistication, life, and drama in his shots. Rather than being heavy-handed with color correction and wedding photo trends, Duy allows the moment and the people shine through. Working with him day-of was fantastic; not only did we receive several comments from our family and friends about how he put them at ease, but he also made several decisions on the fly based on the weather. After the wedding, he delivered several previews in just a few days....and we were absolutely floored. Like, literally screaming. We are so thankful to be able to look back on this beautiful day through his lens.

    Pleasant experience and previous memories captured!

    I am so glad that we ended up working with Duy to shoot for our wedding day.
    First impression: Duy replied to our inquiries and follow up emails super fast. In the entire preparation process, Duy is super helpful in answering all our questions. Besides, he never hesitate to offer great tips as we have zero experience planning or shooting for wedding (probably true for most people :P)
    About two weeks before the wedding date, we also met up online one more time to discuss the particular site we will be shooting wedding party photos in. Duy offered professional suggestions as to what time of the day is the best, and explained how circumstances could change the lighting, to give us the right expectations for the photos coming out.

    I am most impressed with our 8hrs experience with Duy on the wedding day. We have a couple of separate locations to shoot for, first at a home to do make up, and then to an outdoor site for wedding party photos, and finally to the church for ceremony and reception. It was hectic as various things flew around: waiting for people, finding the angle with the best lighting, coordinate order of shots, etc. In the entire process, Duy and his assistant were super patient. We were free to express our ideas for shots, and they tried to capture all I requested (various wedding details, my nails, my lovely dessert station, photos with more motions, etc). They are super chill to work with, which reduced our anxiety. Thanks to Duy's professionalism and experience, each time I ran through the upcoming items with Duy and after getting his OK, I felt confidence and peace that things would go well.
    At the venue, all of us are so nervous doing our own thing, and I did not manage to tell Duy anything about what to shoot for, but he captured all the details that I could ever ask for. Since I DIYed every single piece of detail for my wedding, I am so glad that they captured those things and kept a good memory for us.
    Duy is the type of photographer that would feel invisible as we focused on the event, but when you need him he will show up promptly;

    In general, our of all the 5-star photographers you can find on wedding wire, it is really hard to compare. Eventually it is a matter of whether the style clicks with you. Duy's photos keep the natural, authentic moment of the event. They are easy to serve as a time machine for you to recall what happened on that big day. One thing I noticed was that Duy is very good at capturing strong emotions. While we have video recording, we actually felt stronger when seeing Duy's photos of the same moments. So if this is something you value, I'd definitely recommend Duy. I talked/worked with some other photographers whose style would be more artistic. They tend to give you more suggestions before the shooting about some details such as dresses/color of hair, etc. Their photos also come with more post-editing. I love both, and I tried to align our expectation when working with different styles of photographers. Hope this review helps you find the right photographer for your wedding!

    Duy Ho photography

    One of our best vendors! He was extremely responsive and didn’t hesitate to tell us his opinion and realistic ideas for our timelines. His eye for angles and his ability to find candid shots is unparalleled. The photos he took during our wedding day is something we will cherish. Thanks for everything!

    Duy Ho is THE photographer for your wedding

    My husband and I were planning to get married May 2020, but ended up having to postpone twice due to the pandemic and just trying to find a better time where everyone could gather more safely. We ended up finally getting married in May 2021. Our wedding took place outdoors in Joshua Tree at a private property.

    I have had the privilege of working with Duy in the past before he was my wedding photographer, so I already trusted him immensely. Seeing Duy's wedding photography over the years, and being floored with every gallery he delivered for the art events we both worked together on, I knew I wanted him to shoot my wedding when the time came. Duy's attention to detail is like none other, and if you're looking for a unique non-generic wedding photographer then Duy is your dude. What I always loved about his work was that each photo evokes strong emotion and collectively his work tells the story of the people that come together at the events/ weddings with a docu style approach. Also, my husband and I both being SUPER awkward in front of the camera never concerned me because Duy is SO good at what he does that he can capture any socially awkward couple and make them look like freaking supermodels.

    Duy is punctual, flexible, has strong attention to detail, knows how to prompt genuine reactions and poses, and holds himself at a professional standard that is so hard to find these days.

    He is brilliant at shooting in bright lighting AND dark/ limited lighting venues. He always has great communication with his couples which is so helpful, especially when you are the bride and the event planner. I actually never provided him with any list, because he just gets it. He doesn't need to be micromanaged because he truly is the best at what he does. He is a storyteller and captures moments and details beautifully. I will treasure the photos from our wedding so much because I have a terrible memory, but when I took at my photos I remember every single detail and moment of the day exactly as it happened. And I think that is just something really special.

    Thank you Duy, you are truly one of the best wedding photographers/ photographers/ artists I have ever met and we are lucky to have had you document our big day. Bonus that you're our friend as well.

    Look no further!

    SERIOUSLY THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE BAY AREA (and possibly the country)! There is no better person to work with for your wedding. Duy is extremely talented, passionate, and purposeful. We are amazed at the final photos! The lighting, the colors, the overall style left us in awe when we went through our album. We laughed so much looking through our wedding photos because he captured all the best moments! We are able to see our friends, family, and ourselves laughing and having fun at our wedding. What a wonderful gift to have for the rest of our lives.

    Additionally, Duy is hands-down the easiest person to work with and the most kind. Working with him on the days before the wedding, we felt so taken care of by his attention to details specific to our wedding and giving us advice. The advice and caution he gave us was extremely helpful on the day-of. On the day of the wedding, we became stressed out after falling behind schedule. Duy's personality (which is super chill!!) was extremely helpful in calming us down. He preemptively took action where it was needed to help us move along and catch up. So clutch every time! He is someone who will have your back, which is crucial to have on your wedding day.

    I actually first met Duy because I wanted to gift my husband a boudoir photo album for our wedding. (Yes, Duy does boudoir photography, too!!) Without initially meeting Duy, I brought a friend to the photoshoot so that I would feel more comfortable with the process. Duy knew exactly which settings would produce the best photos and his chill personality put me at ease. When I finally received the photos, I couldn't believe it! THEY WERE AMAZING! I couldn't wait to gift the album to my husband! I was so impressed with his work that we ended up hiring him for the wedding, too. Best decision ever! We will be cherishing these photos over and over again. Thank you so much, Duy!!

    Duy was great!

    We were looking for a wedding photographer to shoot our special day in late summer 2020. Duy quickly replied to our inquiry and soon went about getting to know us and what was most important to us on our wedding day. We had two locations for different parts of our wedding day. Duy was very flexible, going above and beyond to optimize for the best photo opts in light of it being during COVID.

    On the day of our wedding, he was punctual and had a very positive attitude throughout the day. He was considerate of what we highlighted, making sure the key moments from our tea ceremony were captured. We were amazed at all the candid moments he captured! Our couples' portraits were stunning! He worked with us to find locations that were meaningful to us and even accommodated a wardrobe change. Our families and friends loved our wedding photos! We would highly recommend Duy to anyone looking for a photographer in the Bay Area.

    Highly Recommended!

    After selecting an absolutely gorgeous wedding venue, we knew that our number one priority was finding a talented photographer who would be able to capture the beauty of the venue and as well as all of the special moments on our big day. We knew just from scrolling through Duy's portfolio that his photography style, which was full of energy and vibrant colors, was exactly what we were looking for. Duy was extremely responsive via email and was so flexible when we had to alter our plans after the pandemic hit. He was easy to communicate with and put us at ease with his calm demeanor. My husband and I aren't used to being in front the lens of a professional photographer, but Duy was so patient with us and somehow managed to turn all of our awkward giggles into works of art. That's true talent! He and his second shooter were never obtrusive on our wedding day and were able to capture so many moments that I didn't even realize they were there for. We are so lucky and grateful to have our wedding day memorialized by Duy. Thank you so much!

    Amazing artist photographer captured our zoom ceremony

    When the coronavirus pandemic upended our wedding plans, my partner and I decided to still get married. Since we didn’t take engagement photos, I really wanted to take photos on the day-of our wedding. The photographer that we hired for our wedding lives outside of the Bay Area so that wasn’t an option for us. I came across Duy’s photography back in 2018 on instagram and I really appreciated the aesthetics of his photos. After we had the initial phone conversation with Duy, we knew we wanted to use him.

    Duy was incredibly flexible, we wanted to take portraits in the morning to capture the right lighting and then he came back that evening during our ZOOM ceremony. Since our ceremony was 100% remote and in our living room (not the most beautifully decorated) I wasn’t sure how the photos would turn out but when I first saw the teasers, my heart bursted with love. He captured every emotion: the nervousness as we said our vows, the love after our first kiss and our parents faces as they beamed with joy.

    Duy was able to capture such a historical moment, not just for us but for generations to come. Our children will be able to look at our photos and know immediately that we got married in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. It takes a real artist to capture the emotion and essence of a ceremony in such a unique setting with no friends and family in attendance, other than via zoom, and at a venue (our condo) a fraction of the size of any reception. I was a bit heartbroken that our families were hundreds of miles away and separated by borders that are indefinitely closed but these photos brought us together.

    best decision to use duy!

    Duy is such a nice guy and a very talented photographer! We were so lucky to have found him in our search. Our wedding photography was obviously something that we researched intensively to find the right fit. I am not a fan of the bright, washed out, airy photos that a lot of photographers enjoy. I wanted something that was full of life and color and contrast. Duy's style was exactly that. We worked with him twice - once for our engagement shoot and again a year later for our Napa Valley wedding. The photos are absolutely gorgeous, he was a pleasure to work with and we are so thankful that we chose him to photograph our day.

    Talented and wonderful to work with!

    Duy is a truly talented photographer and wonderful to work with. We first saw his work when he shot our friends' wedding, and we knew we wanted him to shoot ours as well. We continue to get compliments on our engagement and wedding photos over a year after our wedding. He was prompt in communications and easy to coordinate with even as we lived on two different coasts. He was professional and considerate on the big day. He has an amazing talent for capturing candid and special moments!

    Incredible photos and awesome to work with!

    Your wedding day goes by so fast. That’s why we knew having a great photographer was a top priority and investment. Duy and his assistant Jen captured every moment! Not only did we love every photo, they were able to capture the best candid shots and you could feel the emotions felt in each photo. They were super easy to work with, blended right in with the crowd and allowed us to re-live our wedding day. I highly recommend Duy, you’ll be amazed with his work!!!

    The best choice we could have made for our wedding day

    We had the pleasure of working with Duy and his assistant for our wedding. When it came time to choose a wedding photographer, we did a ton of research and found a lot of great options, but never felt confident enough to make a decision. Then we found Duy, and My husband and I both agreed instantly that he was the photographer we wanted to work with. Because of him, we now have the most incredible photos to hold as memories and to hang on our walls. He was able to bring the emotion, the friendships and the love of our day to life. His work really speaks for itself. We are so incredibly happy with our decision to have Duy as our wedding photographer. There is simply no one I would have rather worked with.

    The absolute best

    Duy's ability to tell the story of a wedding through his photography is a superpower. His preparation, timing, execution, and editing are absolutely exceptional, and I'm so glad that I booked him for my wedding day.

    He's highly communicative and responsive, seamlessly worked with my videographer, and was a total pleasure to work with.

    I'd write more, but I'll just let his portfolio and galleries do the talking.

    Duy Ho was the first wedding vendor I booked and I cannot begin to describe how wonderful he is, but I will try. From our engagement photos to our wedding, he made us feel comfortable, not cheesy, and reminded us that it's just about us, our family, and our friends. His words of wisdom along the way were a great reminder to just enjoy, and not worry about the pomp and circumstance of it. And luckily we did just that. Most importantly, he takes the BEST photographs. With his architect's and artist's eye, he captures portraits, candids, and everything in between, and the images are flawless. When I first received our photos, I couldn't stop crying happy tears (for the record, I'm not usually a crier). He captured beautiful family portraits, bridal portraits of the two of us, candid shots, and some really fun and gorgeous sunset photos. We are so appreciative of his phenomenal eye, calm spirit, and flawless coordination. Our wedding day was magical, so much fun, and stress free. We are so grateful to him his team for helping make that happen for us. I will treasure these photos for the rest of my life, as a beautiful reminder of my favorite day, my wedding day, and the first day of my marriage. It was most definitely money well spent, and worth every single penny, without a doubt.

    If I could give more stars I would. Duy really is an artist and I'm so thankful we had him for our wedding weekend. I haven't even received my photos yet (just got married) but simply working with him is driving me to leave this review. Our number 1 priority was our photographer.

    The weekend goes by so quickly but photos will last for a lifetime. His photos, as you can see from stalking his work, is truly unique. He catches the light, the moments, and beauty that many don't notice.

    On top of it, he is so much fun to be around. Genuinely kind and calm which makes you feel instantly comfortable. I hope that you get the opportunity to work with Duy, you won't regret it

    When my now-husband and I got engaged we both agreed that our photographer was one thing we could not cut corners on. We booked Duy for our engagements and wedding and were not disappointed! He was professional from the first phone call to the last moments of our wedding. We are not really used to having our photos taken beyond your typical “cheeeese” but that wasn’t a problem for Duy as for formal photos he directed us to what looked best and the rest were just organic and natural which created for an even more beautiful product. And the quality is just outstanding! When booking with Duy you’re not just booking somebody to document your wedding, your booking somebody who has the ability to capture all of the love and joy you felt on this special day and to help you feel it over and over again every time you look at his work. A true artist!

    We just received the photos from our wedding, and we have to say that Duy is the best! He took the pictures in a way that we could truly feel the magic of the moment as we were looking through them. Shortly before sending us the finalized photos, he also sent us a slideshow of the highlights from our wedding, and we must have watched it at least twenty times! The photos were that good, and we really felt like we were reliving all the best moments from our wedding. For some of the photos, especially those that involved light decorations, he put in effects that really enhanced the atmosphere and made the photos seem magical.

    Leading up to and during the wedding, Duy and his assistant, as well as our second photographer (Lisa), were utmost professionals. They did a great job managing time and being cognizant of how much sunlight we would have throughout the day. Our wedding day was fairly hectic, but Duy made sure to talk us through so that we were in our happy places for all of our photos. We think that really helped make all the photos look very natural. Even the posed photos looked natural and unforced and "in the moment" despite the fact that we were posing.

    Because Duy's services were pricier than many of the other wedding photographers we had been considering, we were initially hesitant, but after we met with him, we knew he was the one. He met with us personally for a consultation before we formally booked him, and we could tell from the meeting that he was a genuinely nice person with a lot of expertise shooting weddings. He showed us some albums to look at, and his experience was self-evident. Photography was a significant chunk of our wedding budget, but looking at the photos we received, we have no regrets, and we think it was probably the best decision ever for our wedding! Duy is truly as good as it gets!

    The way most people feel about papercuts is the same way I feel about having my picture taken.

    Candids are our style.

    Duy’s portfolio is really impressive. Full of evocative candid moments – and somehow everything is impeccably, architecturally composed and happening spontaneously. His eye and unobtrusive, documentary shooting style made him our obvious first choice.

    When we got the photos back, we were amazed to see how perceptive Duy was when it came to capturing the personalities and character of guests and family. He gave us an artistic, accurate, and memorable portrait of a really special day and we have the photos to prove it. These are the photos we’ll show our kids someday - and they’re cool.

    Talented, humble professional with zero attitude.

    Choosing a wedding photographer is a daunting task. How many times do you get married (Elizabeth Taylor excluded)?? Anyway, it's not a decision to take lightly! We came across Duy Ho's work through a website highlighting photographers who capture the emotion of the day and immediately knew we wanted him to chronicle the most important day of our lives. Now he's just sent us a sample of the images he and his assistant Shaunte Dittmar captured and I can honestly say we are overjoyed with the results!! More importantly was how easy they both were to work with the whole day and how communicative and professional Duy was leading up to the day. He truly made the BEST day of our lives even BETTER.

    Duy is an artist. We were incredibly picky about choosing our wedding photographer - we wanted someone who could not only capture beautiful portraiture, but also great environmental shots since we knew we'd be taking photos near the Golden Gate Bridge and the Presidio. His photos are crisp and timeless, and he has an incredibly eye for retouching them to make gorgeous color palettes and compositions pop even more. On top of it all, he's exceedingly patient, kind, and responsive. Any stress you may feel leading up to and on your wedding day won't come from him - as soon as we met him, we knew we could trust him to do his thing and it would turn out amazing. Book him as soon as you can, because he's in high demand, and he's worth it!

    My husband and I got married back in May of this year. Duy Ho and team are amazing photographers! They are the best when it comes to taking vintage and timeless photos. For our wedding, not only did Duy capture all of the precious moments, but they also went around and took lots of pictures of all guests. My guests were thrilled to have photos of their own. Duy and his team are a team of professionals who are very understanding and accommodating. They were extremely pleasant to work with. My husband and I had a great time working with them. I love how they also captured all of the decor. Since most of the decor was DIY, I was so happy they captured every tiny detail of them. If you're looking for the best vintage/classy/timeless photos, Duy Ho Photography is the team to book for your special day!

    Choosing Duy as our photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding. He is an incredible photographer, and he did an amazing job of capturing the details and raw emotions of our wedding. We had a traditional Hindu wedding, which has very subtle rituals and symbolism (all explained in Sanskrit) which can be very difficult to follow, let alone capture in photography. Duy did an amazing job of documenting every step of our Indian wedding, from the baraat (groom's procession) to the reception. His photography style is candid, which we wanted, yet he was very patient in taking all the formal family photos our parents requested. Our family has relived our wedding day many, many times by looking through his photos, and we still get compliments on how well the photographs turned out. Couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

    We were searching for a photographer for months and was starting to get frustrated because we weren't finding what we were looking for. I kept coming across Duy's page. Once I saw his work I knew he was it! We met with him and immediately knew he had the job. The way he captured moments was amazing. He and his team were extremely professional and easy to work with. We have received so many compliments on our photos and couldn't be more happy with the end results. Would hire again him in a heart beat!

    When choosing a photographer we were looking for someone that had a style - an art - something with soul. Duy's photographs were the only ones that made us stop and say "wow"; we knew he was the right man for the job. We weren't disappointed. Duy is as skilled and professional as they come. My wife particularly appreciated his calm energy and, for lack of a better word, serenity throughout the day. Duy was a presence when he needed to be, directing group photos with an assertive yet patient demeanor, which helped us greatly to keep things on schedule. At other times, we didn't even notice he was there until we saw his incredible shots later. As my wife has said, he captured moments that we didn't even realize happened. Duy is, in our opinion, one of the best, and has our highest recommendation. You won't be disappointed.

    The first thing that comes to mind when we describe our experience with Duy, is his ability to get to know the people he is working with. By doing this, you become comfortable with him being around, and it is easier to be yourself.

    Usually when you have a photographer, you want them to blend into the background. Duy and his team were exceptional in blending in and encompassing our memories.

    Once the event starts, you can focus on enjoying all the moments and trust that Duy and his team will work their magic.

    Picking the photographer for your wedding is very important because while the event is 6-8 hours, it will go very quickly and it will be hard to remember the small details. Duy and his team did an excellent job at creating a story through photography; the photos capture the moments so vividly, it's like you're reliving them with all the emotions.

    Duy's style is very unique because it's blend of documentary and photojournalism. It is very hard to pick your favorite picture, because there are too many high quality photos to choose from.

    We highly recommend Duy to capture your special day.

    Duy has an incredible design eye and a unique ability to capture space and motion. (May I add that he is a Harvard-trained architect in his previous career?) His photography is unlike any other we've seen and the results are these really beautiful, unexpected moments where we didn't even realize he was there to capture them.

    Can't thank Duy enough for the wonderful photos but more importantly, his professionalism, punctuality and calming presence. He made the day so enjoyable and easy for us and we never felt like we posed for any photos.

    Duy also gave us a preview within the week of our wedding and we were so glad to have a few great moments that week to share with the rest of our family and friends who couldn't be there with us on the wedding day.

    Working with Duy was a delight to say the least. From the first time we met him, we knew he would be our wedding photographer. He was professional, informative and always responsive during the entire process. We were fortunate enough to have Duy shoot our engagement and wedding photos – both were top notch and exceeded our expectations in every way. During our big day, he kept us on time and made sure we got all the right shots. He was very PROFESSIONAL and worked extremely well with all our vendors. The day after our wedding he sent us a few teaser photos and a few days thereafter we received another 15 photos – what a pleasant surprise! We loved every photo and could not be happier with our decision to use him. Even the presentation of the USB drive with all the wedding photos was above and beyond our expectations. I would HIGHLY recommend using Duy for your wedding if you want beautiful photos filled with emotion.

    Incredible photographer!!!

    My husband and I searched high and low for a wedding photographer, starting locally and unable to find someone who had photos that touched us. We ended up expanding our search to northern California and found Duy. From our initial meeting with Duy we knew he was exactly what we had been searching for! Duy is incredibly easy to work with and knows how to capture moments unlike anyone else. If we could give more than 5 stars we would because the product that he delivers is beyond what we could have hoped. We can't recommend him enough!!! All of our friends and family are in awe of our wedding photos. Thank you for capturing all of our special moments during our wedding day!!!

    Duy Ho was an amazing choice for our photographer. I'm very self-conscious and hate pictures of me, so the fact that I have tons of photos that I'd be proud to frame speaks volumes of his work. Duy is also very calming and professional, which makes spending all day with him a breeze. He did a really nice job preparing us for the big day during the engagement shoot. Duy spent hours and hours gradually getting two awkward individuals to relax and loosen up, and his expert eye and gentle coaching during this session helped us feel much more comfortable when the wedding rolled around. Duy was also super flexible and positive throughout the entire wedding-planning process. When it was forecast to rain, he was the only one who could cheer me up, detailing all of the beautiful shots he would get if it did. I was almost disappointed when it didn't rain... almost. ;-) Finally, Duy is very mindful of who he partners with and always brings an equally excellent colleague with him to all of his wedding shoots, which means we got twice as many amazing pictures. Most importantly, Duy and his team captured the essence of our day-- all the magic moments that we can now take in and fully appreciate for the rest of our lives. We would absolutely use Duy for any major life event in the future. Thanks, Duy!

    Duy is amazing, amazing, amazing. I cannot say enough good things about his photography and about working with him in general. First of all, he is extremely professional, answers all emails nearly instantaneously, and really helps to prepare you prior to the wedding in terms of organizing what types of shots you want, and takes time to get to know the personality of the bride and groom. His style is extremely artistic. For our wedding, he did all the standard family and group photos and tons of gorgeous artistic photos capturing memories from the whole night. Duy was incredibly flexible, and he took every opportunity to catch meaningful moments, even spur of the moment. Since the wedding, family and friends have been gushing over the photos, saying how they wish they could renew their vows just to have him be the photographer. Best choice ever for a wedding (or any event) photographer!!!

    Duy did an amazing job capturing all the special memories from our wedding!! I would highly recommend him!! He has a way of staying behind the scenes and capturing special moments with you even knowing that he is there. I told him what I wanted him to focus on and he did that but also captured moments I didn't even realize would be so special and would look great in the pictures! He did a great job selecting key places for us to take our wedding party and first look pictures. He allows you to feel comfortable in front of the camera so he can capture each special moment. We also ordered our wedding albums through him and he helped me pick through the many pictures because I liked them all and I loved the final product!

    Duy is simply amazing!

    As we were searching for a wedding photographer, I remember my jaw dropping when I first went to Duy's website and saw his portfolio. He captures and creates dramatic, stunning images in a photo-journalist style and immediately my husband and I wanted to work with him!

    During our engagement session, Duy put us both right at ease, helping direct us without posing and heavy involvement. He was flexible and creative, drawing inspiration from the scene around him (Lands End and Sutro Baths) and quickly seized opportunities as the lighting changed. The result was dramatic and we had dozens of off-the-charts images from our engagement shoot to use for our Save the Date.

    On the wedding day, Duy was again, simple and easy to work with. Duy happily worked with our request of an abbreviated portrait session so we could enjoy cocktail hour and found other opportunities throughout the evening to do quick portraits. As for the ceremony and reception, Duy was like a fly on the wall, observing and capturing all that's going on without adding distraction or involving himself -- just like a great photographer should!

    While our wedding was only a few weeks ago and we haven't yet seen all of our pictures, Duy shared about 20 images to give us a sense of what he had captured on the wedding day. Again, we were floored. From our portraits to the candids, every image is beautiful, soulful, and captures the energy of the moment. I have no doubt we will have a hard time choosing what to put in our wedding album!

    We would whole-heartedly recommend Duy to anyone looking for a photographer! But, I would book him fast -- he is so wonderfully talent, I'm sure he will book up (and probably raise his rates!) fast because he's on a whole other level from most of the other wedding photographers out there.

    Duy was an absolute pleasure to work with. We had a phone consultation a few months before as we were coming in from out of town. We met him in person a couple of days before the big day to discuss in detail what we are looking for and styles we liked. We have only seen a few sneak peaks from him so far, but everything has been amazing. He gives good direction, captures the moment, and made us feel at ease and comfortable right away. Can't wait to see more from him.

    Duy was amazing to work with! He responded quickly to all my questions and concerns leading up to my wedding day. He understood what I wanted out of my photos and I was so beyond happy with the end product. His photos really captured all the candid moments with family and friends and he made my husband and I feel very comfortable during the shoots. Thank you Duy for giving me the most amazing memories of my wedding!

    I was searching for months to find our wedding photographer. I knew exactly what I wanted and was just having a hard time finding the right person to capture it. We met with Duy first so that I can get sense of who he is, how he likes to work and whether our personalities were going to jive because I knew it was going to be an emotional day. Well after being at his place for half an hour and seeing all of his work, I was sold. He had a great way of framing pictures that makes everything look magnificent.

    We had our engagement photo shoot with him in December and he was so good to work with. He gave us some really good advice on how to angle our bodies to catch the light and was really good at directing us so that he can get the best shot. He also helped us get comfortable with being in front of a camera as well because he had a really calm personality. He was also really good at being in the right place at the right time because he was able to snap the best candid moments where we were just goofing around.

    He also shot our Vietnamese Tea Ceremony and of course our wedding day. It was spectacular. And I couldn't had have asked for a better photographer.

    We hired Duy to be our wedding photographer and we couldn't be more happy with the results!!

    Of all the wedding vendors we hired (and there were many), Duy was by far the most pleasant to work with!! He always communicated quickly and efficiently, never once adding to any of our wedding stress. Duy's calm cool and collected demeanor put us right at ease.

    We hired Duy to shoot our engagement photos about 8 months before our wedding. Until this shoot we were nervous about being "photogenic", knowing what to do in front of the camera, and being forced into dorky poses. Our engagement shoot was fun and relaxed and the photos were FANTASTIC. We didn't think we could take one good photo, much less 50!! Seeing the results of the engagement shoot and getting to experience how Duy works, really made us feel very comfortable and assuaged any anxiety we had about the wedding photography.

    At the wedding Duy did exactly what we expected: Took absolutely phenomenal and GORGEOUS photos that we will cherish forever!!!! Again, he was fun, friendly, on time and extremely talented.

    Our wedding photos shot by Duy are so great that I am OBSESSED with them!! I want to wallpaper my house with them. I show them to strangers in bars (they love them)!! We look INCREDIBLE! The portraits, family photos, and the candid photos are ALL gorgeous, I'm telling you this guy can do no wrong!! Duy took fantastic photos of our friends, they loved them so much I have several friends who have a gorgeous Duy Ho photo of themselves as their Facebook pic! Another thing is Duy is thoughtful. Without any instruction, Duy took a whole slew of fantastic photos of my wife's 80 year grandmother, the family matriarch. These photos are such gems and it melts my heart that he instinctively knew to do this, the whole family is so grateful!

    Duy is talented
    Duy is friendly
    Duy is a great and fast communicator
    Duy is well priced and WORTH IT
    Duy will make you look like a MILLION BUCKS!!!

    HIRE DUY!

    Ok, now that I have your attention, let me explain why.

    Besides, oh you know, actually getting married, having Duy as our photographer was one of the best parts of our wedding experience for several reasons:

    1) His work is phenomenal. He truly captures moments, emotion, and setting with incredible richness and attention to detail. His indoor and outdoor photography are equally beautiful, which shows a masterful command of lighting. We LOVE our engagement and wedding photos, and if you are able to hire Duy, I’m betting that you will absolutely love yours too.

    2) His personality is perfect for what he does. His calm demeanor will keep you relaxed during your wedding day but his laser focus on what he is doing reassures you that he will get amazing shots. He gives direction when you need it (like during the creative and wedding party & family portrait shots) and blends in seamlessly among all your guests while stealthily capturing all the best moments of your special day (like during the ceremony and reception).

    3) Duy delivers your photos in a timely manner and beautifully packaged. Love the wood USB drives, and the laser engraving of our names and wedding date on it was such a nice touch.

    4) While the work and end product are key factors, the experience of working with a vendor is very important too. Duy was a dream to work with. He was always quick to reply to calls or emails and willing to accommodate or go the extra mile. He's organized and will check in with you before you even have to ask. You will end up wishing all your vendors were as awesome as Duy.

    Ok, have I given you enough reasons? Stop looking and book Duy before someone else does!

    My husband and I often said to each other that hiring Duy was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Duy is extremely talented (the pictures speak for themselves), professional, and so fun to work with. I would also strongly suggest getting an engagement session as it was a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and receive a second set of amazing photos with Duy's incredible eye. We love the photos he gave us and also loved working with him as he is incredibly reliable and put me at ease. We really cannot recommend Duy highly enough!

    Short Version: Book Duy and Book Duy fast as your wedding photographer. He's got so much talent and others are noticing. I know I sure did. He's ultra professional and superbly talented.

    Long Version: Duy is everything I wanted and more for our wedding photographer. He's got an eye for the artistic and has a keen sense for when and how to capture the most special, intimate and natural of emotions and moments throughout the day. His photographs are timeless and not trendy, something that you will cherish for years to come. The comments we've received on our photographs are outstanding. I couldn't be happier. I interviewed several photographers and I knew that if I didn't go with Duy, I would always have wondered what our photographs would have looked like. Duy was exceptionally professional, patient and understanding. His dedication to pleasing his customers is as obvious as his passion for photography and weddings. His turnaround time is remarkable and he remains responsive even when he's got four weddings in a row. So happy to have worked with Duy. Hope that you choose him too!

    Duy was fantastic to work with; not only does he make you feel at ease but he has a phenomenal eye. His pictures are fantastic and he is extremely professional and really cares about the product he produces. As an individual who does marketing and works with photographers frequently, I would say he is one of the best. I would highly recommend him for any engagement and wedding shoot. He is extremely talented and we love his pictures!

    I can't say enough with how happy I am that Duy Ho was my wedding photographer. From the moment we first met, he made me feel comfortable and I LOVED the weddings photos he did from previous weddings. I was immediately sold on his ability and I was so lucky that he was available (as he gets booked very far in advance). One of the things that impressed me most with Duy's photography is the variety of photos and moments he is able to capture. He has done weddings on the beach, country clubs and in the city and in each photo he is really able to capture the best angles, most interesting light, and overall magic of the day. He is very calming and my friends didn't even realize we had a photographer throughout the events. We were able to get photos that look like we literally were in 5 different venues because of Duy's attention to detail, light, and architecture. He finds these very cool angles: making some of the pictures look like high fashion photo shoots but then also capture the serenity of the ceremony. I loved that he did both color and black and white photos.

    I would absolutely hire Duy again and everyone thought that he did a fabulous job. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask Duy for my contact information. My wedding was captured beautifully!!

    We looked around a bit for wedding photographers, as one does, and Duy was by far the inevitable choice. His photos were the only ones that made you feel like you were in the moment emotionally, even for wedding photos of complete strangers. And, our photos turned out just as good.

    We met him before the engagement session, to get to know each other a little bit. He is quite professional, yet makes you feel at ease. This helped at the engagement session, since we were both a bit nervous. In the end, we had a lot of fun, and the pictures turned out amazing.

    Never having been married before, it helped us immensely to have someone to discuss a bit of logistics with. He took the time to sit down with us and semi-plan the day, with certain knowledge of how long things tend to take (a complete mystery to us). Throughout the several months before the wedding, he kept in contact, very promptly replying to any questions we had.

    The day of the wedding was equally good. Together with an fellow photographer Scott he had all the angles covered, and produced some amazing photos. There isn't much that can be said beyond going to see the photos yourself on his website, and you should. They will speak for themselves. He captured the feelings of the day, and the beauty of the setting. He was unobtrusive, yet managed to be everywhere, and the results show.

    All in all, I don't think we could have asked for a single thing more. You can stop looking, you've found the best photographer out there.

    Duy is everything you want in a photographer. He is professional as well as fun to work with. His photographs are absolute pieces of art. He has captured such special moments from my wedding in such unique ways, there are no words to adequately describe them. Stunning, beautiful and so much more. He works with you closely to get to know your style, finds such unique ways to display your personalities on film and, while working, does so in a way that half the time you do no even know he is there.
    I highly highly highly recommend him!!!

    A very long overdue testimonial! Apologies buddy but you know how work and wedding prep can be? Duy is amazing at his craft with a great eye for framing and capturing moments whilst at the same time, sporting a very friendly and approachable personality. He is the person to look for when you need great shots, flexible timings, multiple locations and a fantastic time doing it. We did our pre wedding photo shoot in December and coming over from Singapore, we must have gone through countless back and forth emails. Duy was very patient in answering all our enquiries. We were very happy with the results and he wasn’t calculative on the pictures that he returned to us like how some other photographers may be. Even months after the pictures were returned to us, we asked him if he could assist with the editing for some very well liked pictures so that we could use it for our wedding invite cards. He gladly assisted. What can I say? Go for Duy! No regrets. He’s the man! :)

    I know Duy from his work in the bay area, and was excited when he agreed to travel to Key West to photograph our wedding. I was having a hard time finding photographers near Key West who were anywhere near as good as him.

    He was incredibly professional and so comfortable and easy to work with. Those moments where it is just you and your partner right before or after the wedding are such a special, intimate time. He was so respectful and fun at these moments, with just the right amount of direction and letting us be ourselves. He also did a great job dealing with our drunk, raucous wedding party!

    I am so happy with how well our photos turned out!!! I knew he was an amazing photographer, but I am so impressed at the way he captured the color, light, ambiance, and total happiness of the event! He captured all the moments that I remember and at the same time managed to get pictures of nearly every guest! I can't gush enough about what an amazing job he did! I would (and have) highly recommend him to everyone.

    Duy is outstanding. He has a great eye and is a true professional.

    We talked with Duy almost a year in advance. He was very thorough with us. He took his time to go over what we envisioned for our wedding day: location, time, people, etc.

    We spent a full hour on the phone during our initial conversation. My husband and I are from Chicago, so planning was a bit of a challenge, but Duy helped plan detail by detail. He went over everything from the weather forecast for the day of, to the time of sunset for that day.

    I had several questions for Duy and he was very responsive the entire time leading up to the wedding. We touched base a few days before the wedding and discussed details in full. The conversation lasted an entire hour.

    Duy is professional, dependable and consistent. These things are key when planning. I have received a sample, teaser photo from our reception event and I am very pleased. The photo has lots of color and the image pops. It's unreal, the photo is magical and I've never seen anything like it.

    I am so glad I booked Duy.

    Duy is a phenomenally talented photographer & he captured our wedding day amazingly well. From our initial interactions with him, we could tell he was a very responsible, professional and flexible person. He also has a wonderfully calm demeanor which works well in the hectic nature of the wedding day. We had a large wedding party and large families but he was great at coordinating both small & large group pictures. He designed several creative poses in unique locations. We absolutely love our wedding pictures and would highly recommend him!

    This has to be the easiest review I have written. 5 stars! I have no hesitation in recommending Duy Ho Photography. Planning a wedding is hard and there are so many vendors to pick from, but having gone through the process, I want any bride that is struggling with picking a photographer to pick Duy Ho. I LOVE photos!! and I spent months looking for the right photographer. I met and interviewed with several before picking Duy and all it took was a phone conversation! You won't regret it. At this moment I can say that of all the vendors I picked on my wedding day, picking him as my photographer was the best decision.

    Duy Ho is so professional. He is prompt and if you have any questions or concerns he will get back to you right away! He is calm and has the perfect personality you need on your big day. In addition, he is quick with posting his photos that it shows how passionate and dedicated he is with his work. Within a few days he had already posted his favorite shots of the day on his blog (such a surprise on our honeymoon!). Side note: I never even asked him when the photos would be up or when to anticipate them....he just did it on his own. There was so much I had to worry about during the big day that he would help give me guidance when he felt I needed it.

    Best of luck planning your wedding!

    Amazing photographer and a class act.

    Duy was able to capture all of the love and joy of our wedding day. Whenever we look back through the photos we immediately begin to smile as each picture emanates emotion.

    Duy took our engagement as well as our wedding photos. He found an awesome place near the beach in San Francisco. Despite the fact that we were freezing in the windy, cloudy weather, the pictures turned out great. He made us feel comfortable and natural throughout the shoot. We had a variety of portraits and compositions that we loved. We used one for our wedding invitations and ordered a large print from him to hang in our home.

    Duy did us the courtesy of meeting at our wedding venue prior to the wedding to scope out the area as well as surrounding areas for group shots. On the wedding day, he arrived as scheduled with his assistant. From preparation to the last toast, Duy was there to capture every moment we could have hoped for. He and his assistant were courteous to our family and friends and really blended in with the whole ambiance.

    I would personally recommend Duy to anyone, whether you think you know exactly how you want your wedding photos captured or if you want someone with a creative and tasteful eye to take the reigns.

    My mother's only regret from her wedding 40 years ago is not having a photographer to document the day, leaving her with only a few faded home pictures today. Knowing this, I considered having a good photographer to be my number one priority when planning my own nuptials. Thankfully, I was pointed in the direction of Duy Ho.

    Duy has the eye of an architect, giving him an incredible ability to frame pictures using the best light at the best angles. My husband and I knew that we wanted to do a first look to get the overflow of tears out of the way before the ceremony and to get pictures at a different location than our ceremony/reception site. With the help of Duy, we decided to take photos around the Children's Museum in Tampa. Nearly a year later, I can still hardly fathom how stunning those photos turned out. Taking photos at our ceremony and reception, Duy moved throughout effortlessly, without disturbing the natural feel of things. When it came time to cut the cake, he was even so kind as to tell us how to hold the knife together - something we hadn't even realized we needed to know! We received multiple complements throughout the night about how great our photographer was.

    Within days of our wedding, Duy posted a selection of his favorite pictures on his website - it was such a surprise and a joy to be on our honeymoon and see such amazing photographs from our big day. Neither my husband nor I feel that we photograph particularly well, but Duy's pictures of our wedding were nothing less than phenomenal. He really caught our best moments, the ones where we weren't posing and you can seriously feel the emotion oozing out of the picture. We received the rest of the photos within a very reasonable time frames. Duy has always been 100% professional and polite, and he delivered even better results than I could have imagined. We are so very fortunate to have had Duy to document our wedding day.

    We loved having Duy at our very intimate wedding renewal. We changed the ceremony time last minute and he was very flexible. He was able to beautifully capture the surroundings and candid moments. My guests and I were blown away with his work.
    Thank you Duy!

    We've been SO happy with Duy! When my fiance and I first chose our venue, a uniquely rustic sculpture farm with some truely phenomenal scenery, we knew we needed to find a photographer who could make the most of the beautiful landscape and striking sculpture. Duy did exactly that, taking great shots that not only captured the personal meaning of our wedding day but are also flat out stunning photographs. Duy has such a great eye for not only light but also space and form - he is a true artist. Not to mention that he is an abslolute pleasure - easy going and flexible, he understood our priorities and was sure to grab us at the right times to hit our favorite spots with the best light. If you want striking and unique photos that go beyond the traditional wedding shots Duy is your man!

    Apart from deciding to get married in the first place, going with Duy was the easiest and best decision we made. I've known Duy for many years, so I can speak as both a client and a friend. It makes sense that Duy is an amazing photographer; he is an incredibly talented artist, musician, and architect. He is also one of the most down to earth and cool people you will ever meet, a fact that helped to keep our wedding day as relaxed as possible.


    Duy's photographs of our wedding day are absolutely stunning. He managed to capture all of the emotion and energy of the day in rich candid shots and gorgeous portraits, balancing a photojournalist's attention to people and an architect's awareness of place. Looking through our photos, we found everything from the glances my mom and dad exchanged during the ceremony to the way the sky and autumn colors framed our guests just before everything began.


    I've been to weddings where photographers were divas and needed to be front and center. Duy was always right where he needed to be but just under the radar, happy to be borrowed to take a group shot or left to document the dance floor. He is absolutely professional.


    In the craziness before our wedding, I didn't get a chance to show Duy around the site. There was no reason to worry, of course. He took a look around and identified perfect spots for photos with our wedding party, family, and for me and the husband. On the way back to the reception, he noticed the sun coming through the trees and stopped us for one last photo. People are still talking about it.


    We are so fortunate to have had Duy with us on our wedding day. We have absolutely no regrets, and neither will you.

    My wife and I were very lucky to find Duy. His work is amazing. It might sound cliche but he captured the love and beauty that our special day had to offer perfectly. We met with him before the wedding so he could get a feel of what we were looking for, and he absolutely captured our vision. We highly recommend Duy and can't wait to use him for our next photo shoot...maybe when we're expecting. :)

    I have known Duy for about 6 or 7 years now, and have always known he was an amazing friend and person, but learned what an amazing photographer he was as well long before my own wedding day. Every time he posted pictures from a wedding, I would check them out and just be in awe of his talent and the beauty he is able to capture. When it came time for my own wedding this summer, and he offered to come out from California to Georgia, it was an easy decision! We had great communication beforehand---I'm so glad he asked all the right questions and was able to guide me to figure out my own vision of what I wanted. Of course he went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND that!! On the day of the wedding, he was extremely organized and calm and was constantly amazing us even then with his creative vision and ideas----we knew before we even saw the pictures that they would be gorgeous, but they blew us away!! I am convinced now that my friend is also a creative GENIUS! We have received endless awestruck compliments on our photos, and I am so proud to show them off to everyone. Duy will go the distance to make sure your special day is captured perfectly and timelessly----Do yourself a favor and check your photog off your list right now and call Duy!!! I'm SO glad we did!!! :)

    Absolutely brilliant! We had the fortune of having Duy's talented eye document our September wedding. His calm, relaxed personality was the perfect element to a bustling wedding day. We love his approach to documentation which starts with a sit down chat before booking to get to know each other personally - it's so important to jive with the vendors who will make your big day happen seamlessly. He is a genius at picking up the slightest details. His eye for composition is creative, classic, and storytelling. He captures the precisous moments you never saw. I would highly recommend Duy for engagement, weddings, family photos, and all types of events that require documenting the emotions of the day.

    Duy was a dream. We eloped and had a lat minute unexpected location change and he was so flexible and wonderful about everything. It was freezing the mornin of our wedding and we had to cross a little stream. He was so good natured and even joined myself the bride in taking off his shoes to cross. Most beautiful photos we could have ever imagined!

    Duy is an extraordinarily talented up-and-coming photographer. His photos are crisp, expressive, and completely unique to every couple and landscape. He is a true artist who loves what he does. His photos will bring tears to your eyes with how incredible they are. If you are looking for a truly great artist and photographer on your wedding day, want photos that you can frame on your wall for years to come, and are not looking for just another cliche point and click camera man, Duy Ho should be your choice. Aside from his sheer talent and care, he is very professional and flexible, and very easy to work with as a vendor.

    Duy is a wonderful person and a beautiful photographer. I live in Los Angeles but was getting married in Pescadero so I wasn't able to actually meet Duy until the day of the wedding. He made sure to email me regularly leading up to the wedding and talk to me on the phone (both upon his initiative because I was so crazed with other details). He went above and beyond to understand who my husband and I are and what we were looking for in our wedding photos. He arrived super early the day of the wedding to scout the locations and took intimate-feeling, personal pictures of not only the wedding party but almost every single guest. It was a wonderful surprise to look through his photos after the wedding (which was a blur) and see all of our guests experiencing the wedding. Some how he managed to take pictures that perfectly captured who each person at the wedding is and I felt like I was reliving the wedding in the most beautiful way when I looked at his pictures. Not only are his pictures beautiful and artistic, he is a very smart and patient person. He had to work around several strong personalities and he handled it with grace. I absolutely recommend him for any special event you have.

    Duy photographed our reception in wine country and was our best wedding related decision by a mile. The first time we met Duy, he gave us the time we needed to make a decision and wasn't pushy. Before the actual event, he made sure he understood the moments and people that were important for us to absolutely capture. Photographs require time and patience and when you're throwing a reception you want to enjoy the company of friends and family as much as you can - both of these are at loggerheads. Duy was very capable in being respectful and letting us enjoy our time while also directing us every now and then to capture intimate moments showcasing the elements of the venue. Duy, ever thoughtful, sent us some choice photos in the next couple days so we could use them on our social media. Overall, if I ever had a wedding again (hah) I'd hire Duy in a heartbeat!

    Duy came highly recommended from several friends, and definitely met & exceeded expectations!

    This is a little repetitive as I realize everyone cites the same amazing things about Duy:
    1. How prompt and professional he is
    2. His calming presence
    3. How quick he is with the photos after the wedding (we received a preview within a few days, and our full set exactly 1 month after)
    4. How great the photos look

    We were also grateful that Duy worked with our schedule and timeline, and that he took great group/family shots (even though they must not be the most exciting thing for a photographer).

    The photographer is the most important person you work with for your wedding, and we've heard horror stories from friends on poor experiences / regrets with certain photographers. We are so glad we went with Duy and highly recommend him!
