    We Love Danny!

    We loved working with Danny and his team. Danny did our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. He's so professional, but also super friendly and easy to get along with. We picked him originally because his editing style is super unique and beautiful, but we found that his personality is another bonus we discovered.
    The reason why you should definitely pick Danny for your photos is: 1. It's actually really important to have a photographer who knows how to set you up for good shots that are also candid looking. Danny gives really great direction and is able to guide the whole bridal party into cute poses that look great in the photos. 2. Danny is also...

    Best Decison I made

    Danny & Julia deserve over 5 stars.
    Before our wedding, Danny spent time to went through the wedding day timeline, photo tools we need, lighting, and preferred photo style. He confirmed all the details before the wedding.
    During my wedding (it was a full day). Danny & Julia spent each and every moment capturing my wedding details and a great guide on what I should do. (I'm a photo numb)
    They captured numerous pictures and sent me everything. All photos, color corrected photos, well-edited photos were sent to me in a timely manner.
    I love my photos!!!!
    I highly recommend them based on how professional and how amazing the pictures are.

    Best photographer!

    Danny and his wife are the best!

    My wife first found Danny though seeing his work in person and upon seeing it myself, I completely agreed; this was the style we were looking for to capture our special moment. During these years that we've worked with Danny (our wedding had to be postponed due to the pandemic), Danny was extremely professional and went above and beyond to our expectations. Whenever we had a question, he would always answer promptly. It wasn't just prior to us choosing him, but more importantly after the fact we had signed the contract.

    Danny is super understanding of the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the world to this day. We were extremely grateful that...

    Best Photographer!!

    If I could give 10 stars, I would! Danny and Julia went above and beyond for us to make my husband and I feel special on our wedding day. This was one of the best decisions we ever made choosing Danny Dong Photography for our intimate wedding.

    Due to COVID - 19 we had to cancel our wedding in San Diego and were left scrambling to find what we could do to try and have it on the same day as planned. Originally, I reached out to Danny Dong when we were shopping for a photographer and I was sad to hear he was booked on the day we needed. Although, I let him know he was...

    Unprofessional. Deceiving. Stay Away.

    When we booked Danny in December 2019, it was because we absolutely loved his work. However, we recently realized how duplicitous he is. When we initially expressed interest in his services, he was very responsive, usually responding in 1-3 days. After securing Danny for his services, and particularly after notifying him of having to cancel our December 2020 wedding, he became evasive, taking weeks and even months to respond. In fact, he has become so unresponsive that he has chosen to ignore my last few emails, which specifically address his contract.

    As our other vendors agreed, Covid-19 was an unforeseeable event that clearly qualifies as an "Act of God" or a "Force Majeure." Danny's contract specifically references these...

    Amazing photographer and choice for weddings!

    Danny is a true professional whose work really speaks for itself. We came across his portfolio while searching for a wedding photographer and can confidently say that we made the right choice. He and his team are incredible at capturing the perfect moments that we can remember for the rest of our lifetime. He knows how to engage with people to get the best smiles and poses for photos and his editing ability produces truly marvellous pictures.

    Best photographer ever!

    We choose Danny Dong as our wedding photographer based on reviews, photographers style and friends recommendations. We could not have been happier with how the whole experience turned out! From our initial email to Danny, he’s been the most responsive at answering all of our questions and getting back to us promptly. He was able to meet with us a couple of times before the wedding: first meeting, going over contract and details to finalizing the timeline of the big day. He gave us many recommendations specifically about the wedding venue that was so helpful in capturing the essence of our day. We were amazed at how the pictures turned out!!!!! From how it was shot, and how great...

    Amazing wedding photographer!

    A+ Photographer. Our wedding was about 10 months ago - and now that the dust has settled - the only memories of our special day are our pictures and videos. Danny was a pleasure to work with, on-time, professional and flexible with great attitude. He mastered outdoor venue, family portraits and indoor barn (little to no indoor lights) beautifully. Every time I look at my pictures, I feel like I’m reliving our day from start to finish. Thank you so much, Danny, for capturing our special day, every moment and expression is priceless, and if I were to plan our wedding again (or any wedding), I would prioritize hiring Danny and his team in a heartbeat.

    Glamorous, breathtaking wedding photos

    Danny's pictures are breathtaking! When we first started looking at different photographers online, his pictures blew us away and we knew he was the one for us. He does book up quickly so he was actually the first vendor we secured right after our venue.

    We booked him for our engagement photos and for our wedding taking place in the October 2018. He was easy to work with and very responsive via email and text. As with most engaged couples, it was our first time and we needed a lot of guidance and ideas for all aspects of the wedding. He provided great ideas and resources for outfits for the photos, poses, props, locations, and also gave...

    Danny was the photographer for our wedding. We knew he was amazing from his work during and after my friends' wedding last summer. My friend's husband is an amateur (but serious) photographer, so we knew Danny Dong must be spectacular to have passed his extensive research on wedding photographers. During our various venue visits, one name also kept showing up consistently all over the Bay Area, and that was - you guessed it - Danny Dong.

    Danny was very responsive prior to the wedding. On the day of, he arrived early and was just absolutely incredible throughout the long 9-hour session that we were fortunate enough to have him for. He was wonderful with my parents, my bridal...

    Danny is such a privilege and pleasure to work with! Always kind, helpful courteous, professional, and even very personable! We are still in awe of all the many beautiful moments Danny captured of us during our engagement photo shoot. My fiance and I don't know much about posing and Danny is such a wonderful guide and instructor! Not to mention he has such brilliant ideas on the spot and incredibly artistic eye for great photos. We had our engagement photos scheduled during the weekend of Memorial weekend and each one of our SF locations were packed with people! Danny was patient, flexible, and was able to capture amazing shots despite the various background challenges. His enthusiasm and excitement...

    I had my wedding on Chinese New Year. That being said Danny was even available on to work on that day!! Wow talk about professionalism. He was so nice and patient with all my wedding parties!!

    I just saw my wedding photos and I cannot believe how nice those photos came out. I love how he is able to catch some perfect moments in our life. Like our ring exchange and first dance. Our photo shoots was very fun and relaxing.

    Thank you Danny for all of your hardwork and patience. If your are looking for a professional and amazing photographer, Danny is your man!!!

    I can't even put into words how breath taking and speechless my husband and I were when we saw our pictures. It's one of those moments where you just pause... and makes you go back and relive your wedding day again. That's exactly what we wanted our photos to be - and Danny and Julia captured that beautifully.

    Even when comparing photographers, we were always drawn back to their work and ultimately decided to reach out. Danny and Julia were one of the first wedding decisions we made because we just KNEW they were meant to shoot our wedding.

    We booked an engagement session as well as our wedding and both times they were professional and...

    We first met Danny to discuss the photo packages. Right off the bat we found Danny to be VERY knowledgeable and personable. We looked over his work and found them to be absolutely AMAZING. By the time my wife and I got to the car in the parking lot, we decided that there was nothing to think about and to book Danny right away. We did just that by immediately returning to let Danny know that we would love to work with him.
    Our first engagement with Danny and Julia was for engagement shoot. Danny suggest a winery in Napa would we could not have chosen a more beautiful setting. We did not know what to expect since...

    We worked with Danny and Julia on our wedding in Napa, CA and we had a great experience working with them. Prior to the big day Danny called us multiple times to discuss our vision, important shots that we wanted to make sure to capture, and how the flow of the day was going to go. We discussed capturing some candid photos in addition to Danny's signature artistic style.

    On the day of the wedding Danny and Julia captured every moment including plenty of candids. More impressive was their ability to work around all the amateur photographers scrambling to get shots on their phones. Throughout the wedding Danny and Julia kept us on track for prep, ceremony, sunset,...

    Best wedding photographers you can find in Bay area!

    We are very lucky to have Danny and Julia to cover our wedding day in 2017. They are the best of the best! They are incredibly kind and nice to work with. They are so talented that every touchable moment in our wedding day was captured by them. They worked very hard after the wedding day and their post processing is simply amazing. Every family and friend is impressed how much emotion can be expressed by their shots. They also designed and helped us printed the album of our wedding photos which is stunning quality.

    Danny & Julia are amazingly talented professional photographers and we are extremely glad to have them to cover our wedding. Both Danny & Julia are fun, full of energy, cheerful and easy to work with. His photography style is elegant and classy. Every single photo they delivered amazed us and we truly love their work.

    Their photos captured all the precious & unforgettable moments of our special day with perfect composition, lighting & angle. Their fantastic photo-editing added the perfect touch to their work. We highly recommend Danny & Julia. If anyone is not convinced, just simply check out their blog/website, and their work will speak for itself.

    Danny and Julia covered our Chinese tea ceremony and wedding in June, and we absolutely love our photos! We chose Danny and Julia because their portfolio was consistently great through both indoor and outdoor venues, and the whole range of lighting conditions, from bright daylight to nighttime. Danny and Julia are extremely professional, and they were really helpful and always willing to answer questions. We were quite unsure of our wedding timeline going in as we had a schedule that included door games, another Chinese tradition, in addition to the American wedding traditions. Danny sat with us and helped us create a timeline to make sure we had enough time for photos at all of our events. Our venue...

    2 scenarios:
    - If your wedding is somewhere he has shot before, I want to share with you his own words. He said: I found if I have shot weddings at a venue before, my work will not be as good as the 1st time. I lose passion and excitement. For me to deliver the best work, I can't see the venue beforehand.
    - If your wedding is a new venue to Danny, like ours was in the DC area, you may find my experience relevant.

    Danny and Julia were awesome and we were so lucky to have them as part of our wedding! They were accommodating, courteous, fun, and extremely talented. They also made sure that we got all the shots that I wanted. They worked well with our videographers, taking turns so both of them got the shots that they wanted. After working with Danny and Julia, I now fully understand why they're so renowned for their work. Their direction and vision were amazing. They were the first vendor we booked after our engagement and we are so happy that we made this decision. My husband and I can't wait to see the results! I'll be sure to update this review once we get the photos but I have absolutely no doubt that they will be breathtaking.

    When I was planning our wedding, the two most important things for me were (1) a wonderful photographer and (2) a venue where wonderful photographs could be taken. I meticulously browsed through pictures of many, many photographers before I accidentally stumbled onto Danny and Julia’s website. Just a few clicks later, I knew I had to have Danny and Julia at our wedding!

    What initially attracted me about the photography was the beautiful editing and use of color. The photographs I looked at all had a way of capturing something very special that I didn’t feel in the other thousands of photographs I had looked at. Each photograph was like a work of art rather than a...

    Danny and Julia are hands-down the top notch wedding photographers who are talented, passionate, fun, and take good care of their customers. My wife and I can't be happier with our experience with them. They always make sure that you are in good hands, and the quality of their work is simply amazing. Hire them for your big day, you can't go wrong with it.
