Beautiful photos, fun and professional photographers!

We hired Donna and Daniel to photograph both our engagement photos as well as our wedding. They were very professional and also very flexible, such as dealing with a last minute unplanned location change for the engagement shoot. They knew easily how to position us for photos, and were friendly and fun enough to make us quickly get comfortable posing for each shot. On the wedding day, they were able to deal with the hectic schedule and get in all of the shots we wanted as well. Last but not least, their photo quality and end product is amazing, which you can see from the photos on their website!

Best decision you will make!!!

Booking my wedding photography with Donna and Daniel was the best thing I could do in preparation for my wedding! They are an absolute delight to work with and the sweetest people and energy to have with us during our big day! They work so well together and covered twice as much since there are a pair. They were able to wrangle our active families and get capture some wonderful memories for us! I hope to work with them again for whatever reason I need since just being around them made me happy. Thank you to both of you for helping make our wedding day so amazing!

Best photographer ever

Having Daniel & Donna as our wedding day photographer is the best decision ever! We love their style and work from their instagram page, and when they did the photo shooting on our wedding day, we were amazed by how hardworking they are. We got some sneak peak photos the second day after our wedding, and everything was beyond expectation. I'm so glad and lucky to know and choose Daniel and Donna as my wedding photographer, they records every best moment s of my big day.

Felt like Working with Old Friends

Donna and Daniel are amazing. Photo shoots can be awkward for a lot of people but they do such a great job at making you feel comfortable. Our engagement shoot was our first professional photo shoot so my husband and I didn't have any preference when it came to poses. They did a great job at instructing us. By the time our wedding rolled by we already had some shots in mind and they were open to whatever we wanted. They were amazing on our big day and helped us out with more than they needed to. By the end of the day I felt like we were old friends. Our photos are stunning! I would highly recommend Studio Opia to anyone. Thank you Donna and Danny!

Amazing photographers!

My wife and I booked Daniel & Donna to photograph our wedding and engagement sessions. They are incredibly professional and truly experts at what they do. Let me give you an example: they have done so many wedding and SF City Hall engagement sessions; their expertise and experience saved us a lot of time and they told us exactly where to go and how to pose. The photos came out to be amazing and they worked very hard and gave 100% of their efforts - which is exactly what we are looking for. In addition, their price is super reasonably compared to other photographers - believe us because we have done our research. Daniel and Dana also worked very well together since they're a couple. You are not wasting any time because of their seamless teamwork - you don't have time to waste on your wedding day. With all that, we highly recommend STUDIO OPiA to all couples. :)

A Shining Review from a Fellow Picky Photographer

As a freelance photographer myself there was a lot of reluctance to handing over the duty of covering our special day to anyone other than myself or close friends who were also photographers. However, as soon as I saw the portfolio from Studio OPiA, their style immediately resonated with me and I knew we had to have them.

Daniel and Donna were not only extremely personable, but very professional. They were more than game to deal with my tendency for micromanagement and as soon as I understood just how proficient they were, I didn't have to worry - I never HAD to worry. In terms of just the logistics of the day, they were dialed in with the venue coordinator and never missed a beat and were even more than accommodating when it came to staying a little bit later when we ran past schedule (always a plus when your vendors understand how chaotic a wedding day always inevitably is).

As for the photos - even for a pedant like me, I found very little to fault in their work.
Our early summer wedding meant that we had a lot of daylight to work with so our photos depending primarily on natural light. Their compositions ranged from tight smaller detail photos to more wide-angled, environmental shots with a blend of straight on portraits and candid moments. The fact that they worked as a tag team and didn't lug along a bunch of equipment made them very lean and flexible which is important as a photographer. They never fumbled around with swapping out cameras and lenses, which translates to more shots and a higher chance of catching many of the candid goofy moments that we enjoy almost as much as the more formal glamour-type portraits.
As the evening wore on, some of the night photos suffered from the lack of artificial lighting (e.g. dance floor had only string lights). However, if we could have foreseen that being an issue, I'm positive that OPiA
could have arranged for additional equipment on-site.
As for post-processing, they are not heavy-handed. Adjustments made in post included a handful of slight exposure and color tweaks, which was completely okay for me as any additional editing I could perform on my own if needed. There were some odd choices for cropping, but nothing that would have ruined the original intent in composition - their shots were always on mark.

Their photos came back to us in a more than timely fashion. OPiA provided their photos online via SmugMug and in multiple formats for various uses (if I needed any additional photos or formats, they were accommodated).

All this long-windedness to say, OPiA brought great style, practicality, and proficiency at a great value. I would gladly hire them again and highly recommend them.

amazing photographer couple

Shuyu and Donna are an amazing and lovely couple who have great ideas and taste on taking beautiful photos. They are very easy to communicate and flexible. They even provide 9 beautifully touched photo on the second day of the wedding late in the evening for us posting on social media. Highly recommended.

Amazing Team! We had such a great experience using Studio Opia for our wedding! Highly Recommend!

We used Studio Opia for both our engagement and wedding photos. Choosing a great photographer for your big day is so important! And I'm so glad we had Studio opia!! The team is fun, talented, passionate, incredibly professional and super creative. During the day of our wedding, I can't explain enough how awesome they were. My husband and I were kinda nervous at the beginning because we never felt that comfortable in front of the camera but Daniel and Donna instantly made us feel at ease. Although it was a little bit raining on our wedding day, they took full advantage and create a special atmosphere in photos. Donna and Daniel did a wonderful job capturing lots of the sweetest moments from this special day. I was amazed by all of our beautiful wedding photos and we've already received so many compliments from our family and friends. Thank you so much! Would highly recommend!!

One of the best decisions we made!

Donna and Daniel went over and beyond for our engagement and wedding photos! They were very responsive, professional and creative. During our first meeting, my wife and I expressed that we weren't too comfortable in front of the camera and were pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to take photos during our engagement photo session as Donna and Daniel made us feel very comfortable. Donna and Daniel were very attentive during our wedding day and always made sure to check in with us to ensure they were capturing everything we wanted. We are blessed to have come across their webpage as we truly loved working with them and are so glad they were a part of capturing our love and special day! We are confident that you should look no further than Studio Opia for your photography needs as you will NOT be disappointed! We look forward to working with them again for our maternity shoot :) Thank you, Donna and Daniel!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
