Torri K. Married on 10/23/2021Excellent, professional, welcoming, fun
Bob and his team were incredibly helpful, especially since we were an out-of-state couple and desperately needed live stream so my husband's family in Australia could join. Highly recommend them! -

Bob is so wonderful! He possesses magical floofing skills for your veil and dress. He’s so patient with family members! A truly nice and great photographer. Mallory is also an amazing human being and so funny and kind. They were so great working with us after a random act of violence occurred at our wedding, held in Balboa Park. We can’t say enough kind things. -

Carolyn F. Married on 07/25/2021Good experience overall!
Bob has a good team working with him. We were particularly impressed by the number of high quality photos he took and everything they captured on video. We were blown away by the great quality of our highlight video! Seriously, it brought my mother-in-law to tears.
If I were to offer advice to anyone planning a wedding, I’d recommend paying for extra time before the wedding to capture “getting ready”. Also, if there are particular shots you want captured, be sure to communicate that! -

Christina T. Married on 11/01/2020Incredible Experience
I would highly recommend Bob and his team. Our guests described the photo shoot as painfully perfect. Bob knows all of the right angles to get the perfect shots and it is worth every second! He will make all of the perfect moments of your wedding day last forever. I couldn't have anything bad to say if i tried. At the end, i received a USB drive with all of the high resolution photos of the day. Everyone that i have shown these photos to said that they loved every one, and there are LOTS!-

Maria S. Married on 04/01/2020Bob Hoffman Photography & Video fully exceeds expectations! Highly recommend!
My parents celebrated their 50th Wedding Golden Anniversary. In our culture, it is a monumental and formal event celebrated by family and friends, requiring the same preparations as a wedding! As their only daughter and having made my own wedding decisions a decade ago, I was honored to help them choose their venue, DJ, cake, catering menu, wedding dress, and of course, photographer and videographer. Our first encounter with Bob Hoffman and Thelma, his Social Events Director, was at the Bridal Bazaar. Compared to other photographers, they were both genuinely friendly, courteous, approachable and professional. The quality of Bob's work that was displayed was beautiful and impressive. After speaking to them, we discovered that they were culturally aware and well experienced with the specifics of a Golden Anniversary Wedding. Needless to say, we hired Hoffman Photography & Video and have been completely satisfied with their detailed and quality workmanship, prompt responsiveness and reliable correspondence, exceptional professionalism throughout the process- before, during and after the event- and their genuine desire to completely satisfy our specific needs. For example, I requested to have several video clippings of family members who weren't able to attend, to be inserted in specific areas of the final Anniversary Video, which they gladly did without hesitation. The final video was a joy to watch, as it was professionally edited so the insertions were seamless, as were the transition from the pre-ceremony, wedding anniversary ceremony and post ceremony reception gala. The photographs taken were exceptional, capturing the various emotions of our guests, my parents and more notably the flower girl! Bob Hoffman is an excellent and amazing, yet humble and patient photographer, who attentively listens and fulfills your requests and exceeds expectations, as demonstrated by his photographs. The online photo gallery and preview of the initial wedding album is easy and enjoyable, thanks to Thelma! She is outstandingly organized, detailed and professional with her communication and instructions. Without a doubt, she is instrumental in keeping the client relationship lasting beyond the event. As I finally write this review, it has been a year ago since my parent's Wedding Anniversary, and I am still in the process of creating the final version of their album. Thelma continues to perform above and beyond what I would expect, inquiring how my parents are doing, and wholeheartedly redesigning the album in the professional, humble and friendly manner to which I have grown accustomed. I highly recommend Bob Hoffman Photography & Video, not only for their fine quality workmanship but also the fine quality people that they are. -

Katrina Married on 02/29/2020Great Photography Team
We are so happy we chose Bob Hoffman Photography for our wedding! The team was great to work with during the planning stages, responding promptly to our emails and working things out over the phone when it came time to decide all the details. They made the planning process very easy. On the day of our wedding, the photographers arrived promptly and were great to work with. I’m awkward when it comes to posing for photos, but the photographers gave great direction and the pictures turned out great! The preview photos were given to us very quickly after the wedding. We are so happy with the way things turned out!Bob Hoffman Photography & Video's reply:
Thank you Katrina, Bob and his team aim to please ;-) We are so glad you had your day your way ;-) Thank you again. Tara Hoffman -

Shaina Married on 08/24/2019Excellent and Amazing!
Bob and his team are AMAZING. From the start of our first consult, to the in between, and to the final results!
We met with Bob and his Social Events Director- Thelma, at our first consult in their office in Kearny Mesa. Both were so welcoming and took the time to get to know us as a couple and show us their work. We consulted with a few other photographers before meeting Bob, and felt so comfortable with him, his prices/packages, and his work that we decided to go with him and his team right then and there. It was such an easy process and we appreciated the option to make monthly payments online. Their website was easy to navigate and keep track of payments with friendly reminders along the way.
Secondly, we picked the "Imagine" Photography package, which included 10 hours of coverage, an engagement session, and a wedding album. For the engagement session, we didn’t know what to expect, what to wear, and how to prepare. Thelma was helpful with providing tips and recommendations. We were nervous, but it turned out being quite fun and gave us an idea of what it would be like shooting with Bob and his assistant. The photos came in a timely manner and we received them in a beautiful USB made of glass that was tucked in a special black box.
Before the wedding, Thelma continued to keep us in the loop, and when the date was closer, she asked us to fill out an online questionnaire to help them prepare, such as: must have shots, what to focus on, who is who, and our Pinterest board.
Finally, on the day of the wedding, Bob and his team arrived, including Helen and Jem--they’re so great! Our wedding was going to be a long day and consisted of a traditional Vietnamese tea ceremony, American ceremony, and reception. Bob and his team were professional, friendly, and helpful in so many ways. They even dressed in uniform so that our guests knew who they were! This definitely helped our guests pinpoint who they were—minor, but very important! Our family also loved them. One of our aunts mentioned how comfortable she felt with Bob and she even told our cousin to hire him instead of the photographer that he booked for his wedding!
Our wedding photos arrived about a month after our wedding and we absolutely loved how they turned out. We didn’t realize Bob and his team took so many shots until we saw our photos. Even though we had plenty of photos, we wish we could have even more, because they turned out so beautiful. Soon after, we got to pick about 60 photos for our 12x12 album, and it turned out just as beautiful seeing it in a book. The album was ready 1.5 weeks later and we couldn’t wait to share with our families!
You will not regret hiring Bob and his team for your wedding. They are so professional, respectful, and creative! We hope you LOVE them as much as we do!-

Santiago R. Married on 04/27/2019Wonderful experience and delivery
Amazing team. Very flexible, humble and responsive. Quality of shots were terrific before during and after the ceremony as well as during the reception, where they guided us to take memorable pictures and also took tons of spontaneous images. Highly recommended. -

Melanie Married on 03/02/2019Bob Hoffman was excellent!
Bob was an excellent photographer and captured so many precious moments at my wedding! There are so many pictures that it is difficult to choose just one photo as my favorite. I knew that for my wedding I had to have an excellent photographer and Bob does not disappoint! He has been in the industry for quite awhile and his patience, talent, and experience shows. Thank you Bob for my amazing photos! -

Bob and his team are an outstanding group of people. It was an incredible pleasure to work with them. Bob is the sweetest and did an awesome job providing any and all information I needed in our first meeting. I wasnt quite sure what questions to ask and he was so helpful! Our engagement shoot went perfectly, even after weather issues Bob was very accomodating. The pictures were breath taking!!! Thelma was a pleasure to work with as well, she did a perfect job on communicating and following up with me. Day of the wedding, Bob and his team were all there with perfect timing. It was so much fun interacting with them and brought me so much joy. Bob is truly a master of his craft and we consider ourselves extremely lucky to have the opportunity to work with him. It was easy and stress free to trust him with our photopgraphy and videopgraphy and I continue to be blown away with every picture we receive. Bob and his team are a rare find, his work is miles ahead of the rest. WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!! We cant thank Bob and his team enough for the unparalleled work and experince they provided. -

Bob and his team were great to work with! Bob is very sweet and patient, making the entire process fun! They captured every moment of our wedding and guided us throughout the entire day!

The team communicates with you through out the entire process and are really there to capture your special day from an artistic view, which I loved! I Would definitely recommend Bob and his team and would use their services again for other events! Thank you guys for our beautiful photos and videos !!! -

Raechelle M. Married on 08/18/2018Memorable, beautiful
Just like the photography being amazing, the videography was just as great! They captured all moments but also did not interrupt the special moments with cameras in the way. The communication before and after the event has been great as well! Would love to recommend them to anyone. Thank you for such a magical moment. -
