Great Staff
I'm writing this prematurely, but the staff were very friendly and worked with us quite well. They didn't get in the way, and they were on time and committed to working with us the entire day from 10:00am to 10:00pm -

From the beginning Sean and Sue were easy to work with. Sean did our engagement session and we had fun and he made recommendations on engagement photo locations. The day of the wedding, Sean had a team of 4 (2 with me and 2 with my husband) to catch every moment. The day of our wedding it was raining and Sean and Van made alternative suggestions on where to take pictures after the wedding. Van (photographer) was creative when it came to our bridal party pictures in the rain and also stayed on the party bus with us to capture all the fun going to the reception. -

I found out about Michael's Wedding Group when I saw them at a Bridal Faire. I loved their albums and their video. They were just a little different and more my style. They offered a really great discount if we booked from the faire. We met with them shortly after and knew they were right for us. We booked 7 hours of photography and videography. They arrived on time, got every shot we wanted and more. I never had to look for them, but they were never in the way. They were so professional. We will see our pictures in 6-8 weeks and will write a follow-up review. So far, we are very happy with them. -

We worked with Sean for our Engagement Photo Shoot and for our Wedding. Sean made our Engagement Photo shoot a fun and enjoyable time. Both me and my wife are not comfortable in front of the camera, and Sean knew exactly what he needed to do to make our photos come out great. Sean also helped us pick the photo shoot locations based off of his experience.
As for the wedding, we had a three day wedding, with two separate events that Sean attended. He captured everything we could ask for. Although he did not have a whole lot of experience with Sikh Weddings, Sean was open and willing to learn about the major ceremonies and the necessary moments he needed to capture in pictures.
Sean provided all of the pictures, proofs, and the wedding album ON TIME!! This was our biggest concern as we have heard horror stories about couples getting their wedding albums months and months after their wedding. Sean promised a time frame. When the deadline was approaching, before we could email Sean, Sean had emailed us and told us that the work was complete. It was an easy process and he was prompt and professional.
As for price, Sean worked with us to fit our budget. He understood what we wanted and we felt he went above and beyond to make our wishes fit within our budget. I would recommend Michael's Wedding Group to anyone looking for a photographer. -

Sean and all the staff at Michael's Wedding Group are amazing, and I was very happy with the work they did for our engagement and wedding photos. I highly recommend them.
I met Sean at a wedding fair in January of 2013, and I got married in June 2014. At the fair, Sean was so easy to talk to and my instincts told me that this was the right person to hire as our photographer. I am so glad I went with my gut because Sean was there for every milestone in our 1.5 year engagement, and it's hard to imagine how things would have turned out without him. He really understood us as a couple and worked with us well.
In addition to their beautiful work, Michael's Wedding Group really goes the extra mile when it comes to service. They worked with our budget and helped us customize our package to include an engagement photo shoot, album, a full wedding video, and 1000+ wedding photos. They were also very flexible in terms of scheduling meetings around our work schedules. They are very responsive and never took longer than a day to get back to me when I had questions. Sean even spent an hour with me the week before the wedding going over my day-of timeline with me, giving me tips and suggestions that would help us capture the best photos.
Sean and Van's blend of professionalism and warm personalities really shined through on our wedding day. With all the craziness going on, they were able to get all the shots they needed and really guided Jamie and I to stick to the timeline while still allowing us to enjoy ourselves. I also really appreciated how Sean was able to perform crowd control in such a friendly manner, which is so necessary now that everyone wants to capture their own photos with their phones.
To sum it all up, hire Michael's Wedding Group for your wedding and you won't be disappointed. -

Michael and his gang were AMAZING!! They were great at communicating and easy to work with from the start. We used them for our engagement shoot in SF and Wedding events. They looked into our venues and made sure they were familiar with the lighting etc for the big day. We sent them some pics ideas of what we liked and after getting to know us they really did a great job at capturing our personality.
They were also really good with capturing details and quick moments. They had our timeline and were always ready when we needed them to be (example: we were going to take group family pictures before the reception dinner and the photographers were ready and also gathered my family to get it done in time). Right before we cut the cake, one of the photographers, Van asked us if we knew the 'cake cutting protocol" and gave us a quick tip on how to do it right for the pictures.
We would highly recommend them!! -

My husband and I searched long and hard for the perfect wedding photographer (we also wanted video).. we wanted someone more creative that really captured the moment not just point and shoot pictures.
That is exactly what we got with Michael's Wedding Group!! We ABSOLUTELY loved them and it was one of the best experiences of our entire wedding - as it should be... the pictures and video are all you have to remember the day by.
Our engagement session was so easy to schedule and we had Sean take our pictures. Them came out amazing - and they are very prompt in editing and getting everything back to you. We got a disk will all the pictures so we could make copies.
Same for our wedding.. it has been 8 weeks since our wedding and we went through the holidays and i just got a disk with all our pictures today. they are GORGEOUS.
Michael was our wedding photographer and Sean did the video. You barely tell they are there and they capture all the best moments! I cannot wait for our wedding album.
Michael's Wedding Group is professional, fun, and AMAZING. I would never suggest that you get wedding pictures from anyone other than them! We are so thankful we found them and will cherish our pictures and video forever!! -

We met Michael's Wedding Group at the SJ Bridal Fair and the quote we received was very reasonable for what was included. We met with them in the beginning of the process to go over initial expectations and to review portfolios. We then met with them again the week before the wedding to go over a timeline and last minute details...which was very helpful since we knew what to expect.
We were so happy to choose Michael's Wedding Group! Sean and his assistant were amazing and very professional! They had energy and interacted with our bridal party and guests quite well! We look forward to seeing our photos! -

Van from Michael's Wedding Group is awesome. He is very personable and works his hardest to make sure that you are happy with his services. I had emailed him a list of photos that I really wanted and he talked me through each of them and made sure to go down the list and shoot them all despite the craziness of the wedding. He made my shy husband feel more comfortable about getting his picture taken and was about as professional as they come. The wedding package that we got with them was reasonably priced and they made sure to show us that they wanted to earn our business, showing us many photos that were taken at weddings and engagement shoots as well as showing us how much editing and time they put into each photo by showing us the before and after shots. I would highly recommend Van as a photographer! -

My wife and I met Michael and Van at the San Jose bridal fair back in 2011. I approached Van asking him if they had done any hybrid Vietnamese and Filipino weddings and his respond was "of course!". He showed us some of the samples they had done through out the years and it looked awesome. We did not only wanted someone who can take good photos but also someone that knows the etiquette of our culture. We went with Michael's Wedding Group and requested that Van to be our main photographer on the wedding day.
We took our engagement photos a couple months after hiring them and Michael and Sean was our photographer for the shoot. The pictures came out beautifully and we knew that our wedding day was going to be better.
Our wedding day consisted of Van and Sean as our main photographers. They were with us the whole time from the early morning to the tea ceremony, the actual ceremony and at the reception. Van was too cool! We was speaking Vietnamese to my family since some of the older folks didn't understand English well. He knew the etiquette of the culture and executed it really well. Sean was also all over the place doing his thing and taking pictures.
We received our final photos two months after our wedding day. Sean edited them and they turned out great. The price we paid was reasonable compared to other photographers that my wife and I met with. It's the quality of their work, service and price that makes this a 5 star review.

No complaints about Michael's. Our photographers were Michael Huang and Howard Lee and they did a fantastic job. Working with them throughout the process was super great and easy. They were more responsive than most of our vendors and very professional. We also thought their pricing was very reasonable. We had paid for a certain amount of time and Michael was willing to show up early to shoot my dress and our rings and stuff, and stay a few minutes late to shoot the bouquet toss. After dealing with all the "nickel and diming" of the wedding planning process, this went a long way with me! I would highly recommend Michael's. -

I did pre-wedding and wedding (ceremony + reception) photography, and wedding videography through Michael's. Michael (the owner and the photographer) is friendly, professional, and talented. His wife did my wedding makeup on the wedding day. Both the photos and the videos turned out wonderful. They are on the pricey end, but I'd recommend them. -

Michael's Wedding Group was great--he has packages tailored to different needs. We picked a package where Michael and Sean put together an album for us, took a video of the important moments of the ceremony, and gave us a book of photos and their digital copies. The photography was not cheap, however, though the package includes a lot. If you're going to use digital photography, it is a very good group. They do book up quickly!!! -
