    Beautiful photography, highly recommend!!

    We booked Khoa for our engagement shoot and wedding day, and can’t express how happy we are with our photos and the whole experience. We trust Khoa to direct and pose us for any photo because he allows us to show our best selves and still look and feel natural. He is a master at catching the best lights and times of day. He and his team are definitely artists and you can tell when they get inspired by the light or surroundings – it gets us excited, too! The finished photos are beautiful and vibrant, which is the style we were going for. We highly recommend booking 1314 Studio. We received so many compliments on the photos and people even asked us if Khoa and his team take on family shoots (which they do!).

    On our wedding day, Khoa was accompanied by Abhi who is hilarious and also so fun to work with. We took photos at our venue, the church, and a local park. Khoa and Abhi took care of coordinating family and bridal party photos, as well. We didn’t have a wedding planner or day-off coordinator, but with Khoa, there is no need to worry about any logistics. If you do have particular requests, Khoa is so great at taking care of you. Regardless, I highly recommend allowing him some freedom to photograph you and your day as he wishes because he’s a pro and not only do all the shots come out looking amazing, but he and his team keep you feeling confident throughout the whole shoot.

    great wedding photography experience

    Khoa did a great job with our photos. He was communicative and easy to work with. Because it rained all day on our wedding day, we could not get any nice photos outside. Khoa offered to come back to DC all the way from Philly to take outdoor photos of us after the wedding. Those turned out great as well! You can't go wrong for the quality and price. I am very happy with the photos. Thank you!

    Absolutely incredible!

    My wife, Yari, and I could not be more pleased with Khoa and 1314 Studios’ work! Khoa was incredibly professional, very organized, and a dream to work with! Our family and friends enjoyed all interactions they had with Khoa and his team (which was very important to us). They truly captured every beautiful moment of our day, even the moments we did not realize at the time were worth capturing. We were brought to tears when we watch our wedding film! We cannot thank them enough for capturing our day exactly how we imagined and giving us such beautiful pictures and an emotional film to look back on. We highly recommend Khoa and 1314 Studios, they are amazing!

    Top notch, passionate, and highly entertaining photographer

    Khoa did amazing work at our wedding. He made our pre-ceremony couples shoot a ton of fun and I loved the creativity with which he utilized every bit of my sister’s place to stage captivating scenes. I was happy we didn’t have to go for a long walk outside the property to find interesting settings for the photos. My husband Matt was surprised at how much fun he had during the shoot, and Khoa had such a calming, positive, and professional presence we both very much appreciated. To top it off, he was highly entertaining!

    Big thanks to Khoa for putting every effort into making our wedding day special, and thank you to May as well for her helpful assistance!

    beyond the best!!

    Khoa, Marco, Brian & Merlana(spelling is prob wrong sorry!) were absolutely spectacular from start to finish! my husband and i have had photos taken multiple times with Khoa, as well as some of my family members, and he still continues to manage us with his quality of work. there was n one else whom we would have rather chosen for this special occasion. if you are looking for someone who is funny, and makes you feel at ease and has amazing vision for photography as well as videography you definitely MUST have all the members of 1314 studio for your big day!!!!! we love you guys!!!

    Emily was a pleasure to have as our photographer. In my mind I knew choosing a photographer for our wedding was one of the most important items on our wedding list because once the day is over, all you have left are your pictures, and these memories you will treasure forever.
    I looked everywhere for the right photographer, some I found to be too cheesy, some too boring, some edited their images with too much contrast, some were way too expensive. I finally found 1314 Studio in a lucky google search under photojournalism and bingo! I fell in love with Emily's style, her candid shots capture the true feeling of the moment. She is very professional and easy to communicate with and her prices are reasonable for her level.
    The day of the wedding her and her assistant were very professional, flexible and creative. We got our pictures back and there's so many good shots that we are having trouble choosing the ones for our album. By the way she offers very beautiful albums and delivers your photos in a very unique way which I won't describe so I don't ruin the surprise!

    It was evident from the moment we met Emily she wanted to get to know us as a couple. She asked about our interests, personal tastes, our favorite photography style and even went through my wedding "pins". Her research definitely paid off, as the color, the quality and the moments that she captured are just stunning. Her and Hal made a wonderful team, always staying out of the way, yet at the same time pleasantly assertive (as one must be with a wedding party as big as ours was). Plus, we absolutely appreciated everything about the delivery of our photos. They arrived in the most beautiful box, wrapped with glittery ribbon and a lovely bow. Inside, an adorable heart-shaped flash drive, buried in colorful yarn. This can sit on our shelf forever and never be lost. Thanks 1314 Studio!

    Amazing experience and beautiful photos!

    Initially hired 1314 Studio for our wedding for photography/videography but am so glad we hired them for our engagement shoot! Khoa did an amazing job talking us through the poses and had amazing shots. Easy to work with and can make any background look extraordinary. Would definitely recommend to my friends for their engagement/weddings.

    Left us speechless with the photos, can't wait for him and the team to shoot/film for our big day!

    Excellent and definately recommend to others!

    Khoa and 1314 studios photography crew were very professional, kind and easy to work with. Any questions or concerns my wife and I had were answered very quickly by Khoa. He made the process as stress free as possible and very easy from start to finish. The day of the wedding we had specific shots we wanted and his team was able to accomodate our request without issue. Prior to booking him, we had a in person meeting where he showed us samples of his work which were absolutely amazing. Pictures came out very clear and clean. Khoa also did our engagement shoot and were satisfied with the outcome. I would definately recommend him and his crew to everyone and for any event.

    Wonderful and Professional

    We are so glad we chose 1314 Studio for our wedding. We first met Khoa at his studio in Central NJ and he was professional and well prepared for the meeting. He had materials, shot lists, and samples of his work all ready to go and show us. We decided to book him immediately after the meeting.
    Our venue was an industrial loft and we had asked Khoa if he had ever shot a wedding in that kind of venue before. Ideally, we would have preferred someone who was familiar with the space. Khoa had not shot in that type of venue before, but he took the time to go through his portfolio and show us samples of what could be considered similar. He explained to us how he would approach the challenges of shooting in a new space and we felt confident he would do a good job.
    On the day of the wedding, his team was on time and extremely nice. They also came very prepared! They brought the lighting and additional equipment to accommodate the space and we were very impressed. Khoa told us how to stand, pose, etc (we needed the guidance!) and he kept us on schedule. Many of our guests also commented that they barely noticed the photography/videography team were there, which is saying a lot since it is a small venue. We are very happy we went with 1314 Studio!

    Pen Ryn - Sept 2018 Wedding

    Khoa and Marco were amazing to work with for our wedding video!! Our short clip and 5 minute video turned out much more astonishing than we had ever expected from our crazy long day of wedding(My family literally cried when they saw the video, that's how amazing the video was!!!!). Because of how busy our wedding was from the crack of dawn to the late hours of dancing, they've sent an another person to be able to capture the extra moments of all the joyous laughters, the ugly tears, and our crazy first dance! These guys are very down to earth and super super fun to work with!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!

    Beautiful Fall wedding

    We are beyond satisfied with Khoa and his team on the day of our wedding and our engagement photo shoot ! His wedding packages are affordable and of great value! Khoa was on time for our engagement shoot as well as the day of the wedding. He executed everything perfectly and suggested ideas for myself and our wedding party to pose. He made everyone laughed and had a good time while looking like a model! We are so happy when we got our pictures in due time and we got so many compliments ! It was a perfect fall day and the pictures come out beautifully. I couldn’t have thanks Khoa and his team enough for capturing all the details of our wedding day. We sure will remember this day forever because of these pictures.

    Best of luck!

    One word. Amazing!

    Khao put us at ease from the moment he met him. He was light-hearted, warm, focused and professional. He has an innate ability to be intuitive and sensitive to the people he's photographing, which help bring out natural emotions in his images. Always courteous with a smile on his face, even during stressful large group photos, when not everyone was cooperating. He has a photojournalistic approach and was creative in working around less desirable backgrounds. We felt Khao's work was on par with some of the best and reputable photographers in our area (some quotes were almost double). Unfortunately, we only hired him up until our first dance - this was our BIGGEST regret. We should have just hired him for the entire evening with an assistant. In hindsight, we would like to have captured some missing moments because he had to leave the cocktail hour to set up for the reception. We did not get to take photos with our guests and some family members. We assumed people would take photos during the reception but didn't take into account the low lighting situation - so no images were usable. I highly recommend hiring him and his team for the full package and capture those once in a lifetime moments - every single one of them.

    I wish I could give more than five stars...this team of photographers and videographers are the best! We were so impressed by their level of professionalism and also how personable they were with our guests. We couldn't be happier with our choice to have 1314 studios at our event!

    We loved working with Khoa! He made our rainy day feel full of sunshine. He helped us adjust our posture and find poses that showcased us in the best way possible. He came two hours early and stayed later than we asked him to, PLUS he completed a highlights reel for us (and our wedding guests) the day of the event even though there was nothing about that in our initial contact. Overall, Khoa was the perfect blend of serious and light hearted, and we really appreciated him being a part of our special day.

    Khoa was absolutely fantastic! We were referred to Khoa and his team by a friend and it was one of the best decisions we made. He was so easy to work with and responsive. We both work long hours and would contact him late in the evening and would still get an immediate response. My fiancé and I had decided on a short engagement (6 months) and needed supportive and flexible vendors to pull it off. Khoa was so good at putting us at ease. My fiancé doesn’t like to be photographed and he had a lot of fun with Khoa. We loved our engagement and wedding photos. Khoa came up with lots of beautiful photo poses for us that were natural, romantic, and fun. We will cherish these photos the rest of our life. We would highly recommend Khoa and his team for anyone’s wedding!

    Khoa and his team were great! They have a great website and it showcases their style beautifully. Khoa is very responsive via email, which is crucial when you’re planning a wedding. Our first meeting was at a Starbucks and he brought a laptop to showcase additional weddings that were photographed by 1314 and himself. We worked together on a timeline of the day and he put me at ease as my husband and I are not great in front of the camera. Our edited photos were provided to us timely and were fantastic! Everything was captured and then some! My only recommendation to future couples is to do an engagement shoot. We didn’t as we felt shy in front of the camera, but put that aside! It gives you an opportunity to know your photographer’s style and see how you act and look in front of the camera. And when you know what your assets are, your pictures will be that much better.

    Khoa and Brian, thank you for capturing our beautiful day and working with us to get those fantastic shots!

    5 stars, more if I could!!! Khoa & team: friendly, approachable, professional. His images are clear, precise, bright & vivid.

    Before: We first inquired but couldn't meet in person, Khoa was flexible for phone call, along with Hendrick. As bride, you want to "know" your wedding team. We had connection right away, which continued through even after months after. He patiently listened to our wedding vision, gave helpful advice, and relayed all this information to the team.

    During: Punctual - Hendrick and team were all friendly and cordial, never intimidating. I was frazzled with H/MU, breakfast, first look, and overall mood/anxiety -- but once Hendrick was there, I immediately felt at ease. He coached me to pose like this/like that. Time to head to park for outdoor photos -- Hendrick drove groom & GM to get started, so the girls could have limo to ourselves and meet them at the park. What smart thinking!

    Arrival to venue: We needed someone who spoke Cantonese, and Hendrick's was perfect, not afraid to shout instructions in Chinese at our guests, at our request! Night flew by, and the whole team stayed way past the contracted time. It is important to note here that Khoa stopped by too, despite late at night, and booked elsewhere -- what kind of photog/team leader does that? THIS GUY! Dedication, passion, and commitment sums it up.

    Post-wedding: Khoa delivered ALL photos in less than 3 weeks. Photos were crisp, brilliant, sharp. Between Hendrick and the other shooters, they captured things like cocktail hour, that we did not get to see, so very thankful for that. Then, I decided to order two parents' albums; Khoa tirelessly helped arrange photos into beautiful leather albums.

    TL;DR: Please see for yourself and send an inquiry to 1314 & Khoa -- if they are available for your date, do not hesitate, BOOK THEM because you will have the best friendly team who will produce the most amazing photos for your wedding day!

    Khoa was absolutely amazing! My bridesmaids and I are rather "awkward" posers when it comes to taking pictures but Khoa was very knowledgeable, helped guide us to the perfect poses, and really made our experience great! Our wedding photos came out great and we received many compliments from our friends and family. Definitely recommend 1314 Studio!

    I used Khoa for some candid proposal/engagement shots and we were super impressed. So much so, that I also used Khoa for our wedding and once again, he went above and beyond. Very easy to communicate with, great attention to detail and the outcome of the photos was great, thanks for everything Khoa and team!

    Khoa and the entire team of photographers of 1314 Studios are phenomenal! My wife is Indian and we had a traditional Hindu-Indian ceremony, which can be quite lengthy and start very early. Khoa and his team were very understanding and professional-they arrived early and they knew the significance of the various Hindu customs that occurred during the ceremony and did a wonderful job of capturing the entire wedding and reception. We were so happy because he also made sure to capture all of our loved ones, family, and friends in all the photos, which is very heart warming as many live abroad.

    Khoa also personally hand delivered our final album to our home- he is truly a pleasure to work with! Our friends and family were so impressed with the final photos as the album was so colorful and of beautiful quality. My wife also loved the glamor shots that Khoa captured of her-she truly felt like a beautiful bride, like something out of a high fashion magazine.

    We highly recommend Khoa to everyone and we would love to use him again for any events we will have in the future! Great job, you are very talented!

    Khoa really helped us out on our wedding day. I haven't been to a lot of weddings and so didn't really know what was good in terms of wedding photography. But I now know that 1314studio is good. They were responsive, courteous, sweet, and professional. In the midst of all the craziness of the wedding, photography was the least of our worries-- Khoa really knew exactly what to do every moment of the wedding. Our photos turned out great, and I can't wait to hang them in our house :) Worth every penny.

    1314 Studio was amazing! They went above and beyond to make sure we had the best wedding possible. Both teams worked amazingly well together to get the best pictures and video clips for our wedding and I couldn't ask for more. The photographers were so professional, easy going, creative and innovative in their shooting styles. They just made the whole experience easy for us. I highly recommend them to all of my friends and they all booked 1314 for their up coming weddings and events. If i can give them more than 5 stars, i would in a heartbeat!
