    Awesome Pictures! Great Work Ethic!

    Han did a wonderful job with our wedding photos! He was able to capture our timeless moments on our wedding day. From the start of our wedding photography inquiry, Han was professional, responsive and easy to talk to. He followed the wedding itinerary we provided and executed it correctly. His contract agreement was easy to follow and he has a great work ethic. Han made sure to be early at the event and he took time to understand the location of the wedding shoot. We recommended Han for your wedding photography!

    High Recommend

    My husband and I were so happy to haveHan as our day of photographer! He was talented, professional, easy going and most of all, FUN! Our images are gorgeous! We’re both very camera shy, but he made it easy and we look so relaxed. Thanks Han! You and your team were wonderful. I couldn’t recommend you enough.

    Amazing Photographer

    Han is amazing to work with! He makes everyone feel at ease including those in who claim to be less than photogenic. Every picture perfectly captures the emotion and romance of our wedding day. We can't wait to cherish and show off his photos for the rest of our lives!

    Great experience and perfect photos!

    Thank you Han for the amazing photos of our wedding day. Having great photos was really important to me so I looked at a lot of different photographers before making my decision. I love the style and the photos are just what we wanted. He made us feel comfortable and I loved that he captured everything we wanted! I would highly recommend him to anyone!

    Great great photographer!

    Ever since I started off planning our wedding and looking for venue/vendors, one important quality to me is how passionate they are about their work. Han is, among the 4-5 photographers that I interviewed, the most passionate - not only passionate about being our wedding photographer, but passionate about photography. Even in the a few early phone calls, he gave us great suggestions on timing for outdoor photo shooting, decoration of the room for getting ready pictures, etc. He is also very flexible on hours and location and is super easy to work with. Most importantly, we loved his photo style. My husband and I actually both prefer more natural / less moody photos before we worked with Han, but we are totally sold on our wedding pictures when we receive them. The rustic / moody style looks beautifully with our garden venue, with a touch of nostalgia that I thought can only be found in old film photos. BTW - Han did offer to shoot a roll of 35mm film on top of the digital photos on our wedding day, which we can't wait to see. I will update my review once we receive those photos from him.

    Also, be sure to ask for a wedding video if your budget allows. We added that at last minute and are very glad that we did. Thank you Han for the beautiful work!

    Great experiences! Highly Recommend

    Han was fantastic throughout our entire wedding process. He's communicative and professional, but also fun! In both the engagement session and on the day of the wedding, he captured both the large and small moments. Looking at the full collection, you see a story being told--which is exactly what we wanted. Easy to work with and well worth the investment in photos of a day we'll never forget.

    Great photographer

    We really love the work Han did for our wedding and engagement. His moody and rustic style impress us so much. He is very helpful with advices before the wedding. And he provides some prints too, rare to see these days. Highly recommend!

    Great expriences!

    We chose Han for our wedding because we liked his photographic style, warm personality, and affordable a la carte pricing. We were thrilled with his service! Hanwas so enthusiastic about our wedding and all of our ideas. He was flexible and accommodated all of our requests with ease. He managed to subtly catch so many details from our special day without ever seeming intrusive. He really let us guide the process, while adding his own professional, unique style. The final product was delivered quickly and with the most elegant, thoughtful, personal touches. We are so happy with everything and we are constantly getting compliments from family and friends. I highly recommend Han for any event!

    Great experiences and photos

    Han was fantastic to work with. His prices are better than any other photographer but that's not the only reason we decided to work with him. He is so friendly and personable. I gave him a list of pictures I wanted taken at the chapel after our ceremony and he was able to get everything I wanted in a 30 minute time period. Highly recommend!

    couldn't be happier

    We couldn't be happier that we trusted Han to take our engagement and wedding photos! He is professional, responsive, and very accommodating to our requests. His photos have a natural, genuine style and are also very beautiful and artistic. Definitely the best vendor choice we made for our wedding.
    It is worth to mention that my husband and I were never great at posing, but during the engagement photo session, Han was able to make us feel so comfortable and relaxed, and brought out our natural interactions and emotions before the camera. And the photos turned out great! Each one is full of feelings and we can relive the moments by going through them.
    Thanks Han for capturing these lovely photos for us! Highly recommended!

    After meeting with several photographers, my wife and I decided to hire Han to shoot our wedding. What immediately stood out to me was Han's sincerity and passion for his work. Obviously his photos were fantastic as well as his price point, so it was an easy decision for us to hire him.

    On the wedding day, he showed up promptly right on the time that we agreed. Throughout the entire day he was very professional. Not one complaint came from him even though at times I felt we had a lot of requests and demands. He took everything with a smile. The most important was the end product. The pictures came out even better than expected. Honestly it could be presented in a magazine spread! The best was that we didn't have to spend an arm and a leg for it. I highly recommend him, and would no doubt hire him again for any future needs.

    My husband and I really appreciate Han's help to take the wedding photos.
    He is very considerate and professional in many different ways. Don't worry if you don't know how to pose, he will guide you. He also provides us film, very special memory for us! I love my canvas and album so much!

    Han is a the best photographer I have ever met. He took our wedding photos. He was very creative on choosing the scene, helped us on meaningful poses. With his discipline, Han refined and made every shot to be special and unforgettable. It was such a happy process, we were relaxed on every photo we got.
    My friends compared my wedding photo with theirs from very expensive professional photographers, and regret that they didn't know Han.
    Highly recommended!

    Han is incredible. We spent a lot of time researching photographers and didn't want mere cookie-cutter photos. Through friend referral we had a chance to look at his work and really loved his style and approaches. The images and videos he captured are truly authentic and natural with a stroke of artistic touch, which we love because those super saturated photos are just not our style. During the photo shoot he was enthusiastic, attentive, and professional. He was very easy to work with and was more like a friend rather than a photographer we hired. Because of that we felt so much at ease. If you want the most authentic, natural, and fun photos in town, Han is your guy. Thank you Han for being awesome and we can't wait for our future sessions!

    Han is a true professional! My fiance and soon-to-be husband asked Han to take photos of our surprise proposal. I love how he was able to capture the moment so perfectly, trust me I cried an ocean that day. He also got some great portraits of us that we used on our instagram and wedding website. I sure felt like a princess that day. I'll cherish these photos forever!! Thanks Han!

    My experience was ok.

    Over all the service was ok for what I paid. I paid for photography and videography. I felt ok with what I received. They were dress professionally. I wish I gave them more directions on what I wanted. I trusted in them to much and didn’t really get what I wanted. I got too many drunk guest photos.
