Khoa was our wedding photographer from getting ready until the end of the night and we had an amazing experience with him the entire time! He is incredibly sweet and easy to work with, and made us feel very comfortable from the get-go.
He was very thoughtful and thorough in using all aspects of our venue to provide amazing photos capturing the whole day. He worked very efficiently with us leading up to the ceremony to get us photos while still keeping us hidden away from our arriving guests, and then, during the ceremony and reception, he was amazingly unobtrusive but still able to capture all the great moments of our night!
Khoa sent us a few preliminary photos which were all so perfect for personalizing our thank you cards. Once we got the full complement of photos from him we were blown away by the quality, editing, and energy he was able to capture from our wedding day. He is immensely generous with the number of photos he provides, and we have to stress that he somehow manages to deliver on both quantity AND quality. He is also very talented in composition and there were more than several photos that we never noticed him getting - everything perfectly captured the energy and feeling of the day and felt like we were reliving it again.
Overall he feels like the complete package and we recommend him without hesitation!!! -

Khoa is absolutely amazing! He’s very response and understood the idea and vision that we were going for. He’s very easy going, communicative, helped us to relax and pose (as we’ve never had professional photos taken before), and WOW the photos came out amazing. We wanted dark romantic 1920s vibe and he gave us JUST that. Love it! Thank you so much Khoa! -

Khoa was absolutely amazing to work with! He was very responsive with email communication leading up to the engagement shoot and wedding. His kind and professional demeanor made me feel really comfortable behind a camera (for once!). I also appreciated the direction he gave us with the poses and know that helped us a ton. Highly highly recommend Khoa! -

I am so glad my husband and I booked Khoa as our wedding photographer! Our wedding was August 19, 2023 in San Diego, CA. Khoa & his partner, Elise were a pleasure to work with and we can't recommend them enough! They were professional and so so patient amongst the chaos throughout the day. Khoa had a vision and he knew exactly how to capture it through his lens. When we got our pictures back (a lot sooner than we expected, we were so delightfully surprised!), my husband and I sat there for hours going through each picture laughing, crying but most importantly we were smiling the entire time. I say this because that is exactly what Khoa's work will do to you. You can feel the love and emotions captured in each picture which I believe is a reflection on the work that Khoa emulates. Thank you again Khoa & Elise for your kindness, patience, and professionalism on our day. You both made the day extra special! -

Lindsay Sent on 05/29/2023Fabulous Photographer!
Khoa was absolutely fabulous to work with this past year! He did our engagement photos back in July 2022 at his spot up in the Laguna Mountains, and we absolutely loved the photos. We asked him to also shoot our wedding in Julian CA in April 2023 as well! He captured every moment of our day and sent us our photos back (all 1500 of them!) in 3 weeks! We were so thrilled! He captured all the big moments of our wedding as well as all the small details that made it special to us. We have never taken professional photos before, and we were both a little nervous. Khoa was great at putting us at ease and helping us pose so we looked natural for both of our events. He also goes above and beyond and takes a few Polaroid photos to give to you right away which was really sweet. He was professional, easy to communicate with, and all around fabulous. Highly recommend him for any event you need photographed! -

From the moment I met with Khoa on Facetime, I knew he was going to be a pleasure to work with. The pictures of our wedding day came out beautifully, and even better than what I had expected. His energy throughout the whole day was amazing. He captured our wedding day so perfectly! Khoa was also so flexible with all the changes that were made, and adapted to the little rain sprinkles we had throughout the day. -

If you are looking for a wonderful photographer, look no further! We hired Khoa to shoot our wedding in Carlsbad and he was absolutely incredible to work with. Not only did he capture the most beautiful photos, but he also was such a kind, fun, and positive energy to have around the entire day. I can't thank him enough for capturing our day so beautifully. We will cherish these photos forever! Thank you Khoa for your incredible work!! :) -

Ashley Sent on 08/25/2022Khoa is the BEST!!! Look no further!
Khoa is an incredible photographer! If you are considering him for your engagement/wedding photos, look no further...you found your guy! Khoa took our engagement photos and our whole experience was great. He was wonderful with planning the perfect time and spot for our shoot and provided us with guides to help us prepare. During our shoot, Khoa had wonderful energy. We played our favorite music. My fiancé and I felt at ease and we were able to be our fun selves, which Khoa captured beautifully in the photos. I loved that he captures natural love and gives direction to ensure that the photos turn out perfectly without putting us into the typical photoshoot poses that sometimes other photographers do. We are so so happy with our experience and how the photos turned out and happily and strongly recommend Khoa to anybody looking for a photographer. Honestly the hardest part of all of this was choosing a few photos from the bunch to post, because we love every single one so much. -

Rebecca Sent on 06/20/2022Khoa is amazing!! 100% recommend.
We worked with Khoa for both our engagement photos as well as the wedding day, and we could not have been happier with the results! We actually had already done an engagement shoot with a different photographer, but something felt missing from the photos. My husband and I are pretty camera-shy and non-photogenic people, and our original engagement photos seemed a bit stiff and posed. After stumbling upon Khoa's website later during wedding planning, I fell in love with his very impressive portfolio and knew I wanted to do a second engagement shoot with him. He is such a talented, humble, and friendly photographer, and the photos he captured of us were so natural and beautiful. He helped us feel at ease in front of the camera, and we truly enjoyed working with him! We loved working with him so much that we actually cancelled our original, lower budget wedding photography plan after many pandemic-related postponements, and reached out to Khoa to be our wedding photographer as well. We are so thankful that we were able to work with him again! Our wedding photos exceeded all expectations and will be treasured forever. -

Khoa was the component to our special day that we didn't know we needed. Not only was his happy personality contagious, but he was thoughtful, kind and talented! His eye for detail is unmatched! From start to end, he was responsive, professional and positive! We recommend Khoa to anyone who wants to capture their special moments perfectly! Thank you Khoa!! -

Our whole experience working with Khoa was really amazing! From planning the perfect spots, coordinating outfits, getting that golden hour lighting, and capturing the most beautiful memories, Khoa was so helpful and has a beautiful eye for photography. We had such a fun day on our engagement shoot at the dunes in Glamis, Khoa made us feel so comfortable with his enthusiasm, kindness, and creativity. It truly was one of the best days getting to run around the dunes with my future husband and having Khoa capturing those joyous, loving moments for us was priceless. The photos turned out SO beautiful, Khoa really brought our vision to life! He is very talented, professional, and all around awesome to work with, we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Thank you so much Khoa, we can’t wait to book you for our wedding! -

Khoa is a true artist!
My husband and I had a wonderful time working with him. He was funny, charismatic and thoughtful. He did an amazing job navigating through everything and even suggesting pictures we would have never though of! His talents are one of a kind. If you don’t believe me, just look at his pictures! We were looking for someone who could not only capture us but also capture the beauty around us. His pictures tell a story and show the passion and love behind the couple. In both our engagement photo session and wedding Khoa went above and beyond! He made sure he always has multiple unique ideas to bring to the shoot. I can’t wait to see the rest of our wedding photos but I can only imagine they will look amazing!!
Thank you so much Khoa for capturing a little piece of our heart! -

We worked with Khoa for our Engagement Shoot and are so glad we did! We were looking for a Photographer to really highlight the outdoor beauty that SoCal has to offer and Khoa did just that! He provided recommendations on locations & made us feel so comfortable during the shoot itself. Khoa was very personable and the photos also turned out amazing!!! -

Amy G. Sent on 01/06/2022Phenomenal photographer and wonderful human :)
There aren't enough positive and kind words to describe our experience with Khoa as our engagement and intimate wedding photographer!! I stumbled upon Khoa's website through random googling and I could not be more grateful that I did. I could feel his infectious energy lift right off his website and I immediately loved his style of photography. Khoa was professional, responsive, friendly, and provided good tips to get us ready for our engagement shoot. Right off the bat, he put us at ease and made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. We've never done professional photos before so didn't know what to expect, but we were laughing and enjoying ourselves throughout the entire shoot - in the best way possible, Khoa lets you be you, provides direction as needed, and blends into the background to capture the moment. He has a phenomenal eye and we were blown away by our engagement photos, even more ecstatic that he'd be shooting our intimate wedding ceremony. Again, he went above and beyond for our wedding photos. They're beautiful and we can't stop looking at them! Khoa is a gem of a human and even better at his craft, don't hesitate to book him because you will not be disappointed!!! :) -

Bekki Sent on 12/28/2021Absolutely EXCEPTIONAL photography experience!
I cannot say enough great things about our experience with Khoa. Prior to booking him, he was extremely responsive via email and gave us an outfit guide, which was super helpful. We decided to book him for our engagement photos in Mt. Laguna this past November and we were absolutely blown away with the results. My fiance and I do not consider ourselves to be photogenic and were both super nervous about being photographed. We honestly anticipated we would only get a few photos we liked. Boy, were we wrong!
During the session, Khoa made us feel comfortable and even played our preferred music during the shoot to calm the nerves. He was able to both pose us naturally and take candid shots. He had a great eye for the best lighting and knew exactly where we needed to be for great photos. Khoa also paid attention to every detail about our clothing, hair, etc. for the perfect picture. We also had our dog participate in the photos and Khoa got some absolutely adorable shots with him! Khoa was patient with him and his listening challenges!
We received our photos very quickly (i think about 2 weeks later), we were shocked to see how many stunning pictures we got! We had a very hard time choosing just a couple for our Save the Dates! The gallery that he shared with us had so many photos and a lot of really great features, including being able to "favorite" particular photos and easily download images that we wanted!
I cannot recommend Khoa enough to anyone needing a photographer, his finished product exceeded our wildest expectations! We feel so blessed to have had such an amazing photographer and some wonderful photos that we will cherish forever! -

Sarah Sent on 11/15/2021An incredible photographer and human!!
We could never say enough amazing things about Khoa and the incredible way he captured our special day. Not only is he beyond talented in his craft, he's also one of the most genuine, kindest humans you'll ever meet and made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day!
He's great at rounding everyone up for photos and setting the tone to get everyone having fun and in the spirit- which I'd argue is one of the most important qualities in a great photographer!
He got every shot I could have ever dreamed of getting and did so effortlessly without us having to think much about making sure we got certain pictures. He took care in everything he did that day, and afterwards with his beautiful edits, too. We are so beyond grateful!!!
Thank you will never be enough but.. THANK YOU KHOA!
Book him! You will not be sorry! -

Connie Sent on 06/03/2021Khoa will capture your most precious moments in the most beautiful, elegant, and fun way!
We are beyond satisfied and elated that Khoa was the one who took our engagement photos. These are the reasons why we believe he was the perfect photographer to help us celebrate our engagement:
1) He is VERY responsive and professional- From the very beginning when we first contacted him on instagram, he was very responsive and professional through online messaging. Every time we saw a message from him, we were excited, because he would give more details about the photoshoot or respond to a question that we had.
2) He goes ABOVE and BEYOND- He took a few extra photos for us during the photoshoot and was very open to ideas that we had. He was so kind and really wanted to capture every moment. He even stayed a little overtime to help us get beautiful sunset photos. He also brought prisms and even gave us special gifts at the end- polaroid photos of us during the photoshoot! The gift at the end was very thoughtful and it made the engagement photoshoot so special.
3) He will fix you up before taking the photos- When our hair or clothes were messed up, he was always there for us and he fixed us up to make our photos perfect.
4) He has excellent editing skills- His editing skills are meticulous and natural. We really liked how the background was not too edited and even though the photos were edited, it still looked very natural and candid. We thought the prism and filter effects he chose were unique and they looked great!
5) He is experienced in posing couples candidly and finding the best areas to take pictures- The area we were shooting at required a lot of walking around and finding areas to take the photos, but he was very experienced and he was able to find the best spots to take beautiful pictures.
6) He is very kind and patient. He makes you feel very comfortable- It took some time walking from one location to the next and during that time he talked to us sincerely and got to know us better. I also had to change clothes halfway. However, during the entire time, he was very patient. He really helped make us feel comfortable and happy throughout the entire photoshoot.
All in all, we are VERY satisfied with Khoa's photography and editing skills. He is seriously the BEST and we would highly recommend him to anyone! He will definitely be able to capture your best moments so you can cherish them forever!

Having my pictures taken is not one of my favorite activities but Khoa made this day so fun and effortless I would do it again in a heartbeat! My fiancé and I came from out of town and Khoa was able to suggest two great locations for photos that were close by to where we were staying. Khoa was so easy going and down to earth we had the best afternoon getting to know him and taking our pictures. He was so helpful in giving us direction but also making us feel very comfortable and natural. We are beyond thrilled with our stunning pictures and we cannot thank Khoa enough for making this such a wonderful experience. From sending us tips and tricks beforehand and suggesting a personal playlist during our photos I would give more than 5 stars if I could. We hope to be back in San Diego again so we have a reason to work with Khoa again! -

We made the best choice hiring Khoa to photograph our wedding! From start to finish, he was open, communicative, and so fun to work with. His style is impeccable and our pictures came out so beautiful. He’s able to capture how we feel about one another and that’s no easy feat! He made us feel comfortable and we had so much fun shooting our engagement photos. Khoa will go above and beyond to make your wedding special. He safely shot our wedding during the early parts of the pandemic and has been so flexible and understanding as we’ve rescheduled our wedding celebration several times. We cannot say enough good things about Khoa!!! -

Logan Sent on 02/02/2021A truly unforgettable experience!
My wife and I decided to elope to start off 2021 on a wonderful note and we needed a photographer to capture the day last minute. Within a week, Khoa was able to meet with us over Zoom and answer all of our questions, suggested a stunning location for the shoot, and gave us a memorable experience in which we will never forget. He is professional yet personable, funny, and has a detailed eye for a great shot. Not only was he able to capture our perfect day through photographs but he was able to get them back to us within a week! I highly recommend using Khoa Photography and I personally hope we are able to hire him again in the future. -

Khoa is simply amazing. We haven't had any professional photographs taken before, and I was definitely nervous. But Khoa put me at ease quickly, and talked us through the entire shoot while playing our favorite music. It was a surreal and magical experience, and we had so much fun. When we look back at the photos, we relive those beautiful moments with happy smiles. Choosing Khoa as our engagement photographer was one of the best decisions we've ever made! -

Our experience with Khoa was fantastic. He helped us with our engagement photos and supported us throughout the entire process. He is very familiar with the San Diego area and was able to give us multiple suggestions for locations. He was full of energy on the day of the shoot and helped guide us on different poses. The entire time we had a lot of fun! The photos turned out beautifully and I highly highly recommend him for any occasion! -

Khoa was an absolute delight to work with. His laugh is infectious and he is one of the most positive people i've ever met. Khoa truly loves what he does and the photographs he captures serve as living proof. My fiance and I couldn't have asked for a better engagement photo experience and we certainly know that our paths will cross again down the road to capture more terrific photos and memories. -

Allie Sent on 12/03/2020Best Decision Ever
I am not sure where to begin with how amazing the experience was with Khoa!!! Much like many 2020 couples, our plans changed soooo many times throughout the year, but we eventually decided to postpone the big wedding. But we really didn't really want to wait! SO I had an idea to just elope and marry him on our favorite beach in San Diego. I reached out to Khoa and he just so happened to have an opening the day we needed. It was meant to be! I had admired his work for years, and I was so ecstatic for him to shoot our little ceremony. I have never felt more comfortable getting my photos taken, and my husband who is literally anti-camera (HATES being in front of a camera), came out of his shell and I could NOT be happier with the photos! He captured us in a way that hasn't been done before!!! He did everything to get the shot he wanted! At one point he was in like a foot of water haha. Cannot wait to work with him again in the future! You will not be disappointed. Which I could give more than 5 stars!!! Also, he is one of the kindest and best people to work with! Music, fun, laughter was all present on our non-traditional day! :) -
