My experience with Raymond and Henry from Passion Studio Team was nothing short of exceptional, and I am thrilled to share the details of our collaboration for both our engagement photoshoot and our destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta. From the very beginning, their professionalism, dedication, and genuine passion for their craft shone through, making them an absolute pleasure to work with.
We initially hired Raymond for our engagement photoshoot, and his ability to make us feel at ease in front of the camera was remarkable. He took the time to understand our vision, offering creative suggestions while ensuring the session reflected our personalities. The resulting photos were stunning, capturing the joy and love of that special moment in our lives with a natural, effortless beauty.
When it came time for our destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta, we knew we could trust Raymond and his team to document our big day. The wedding was a complex affair, with multiple ceremonies held at different locations, each with its own unique atmosphere and challenges. The weather in Puerto Vallarta was hot and humid, which could have made the experience uncomfortable for anyone working long hours outdoors. However, Raymond and Henry handled every moment with incredible grace, professionalism, and enthusiasm. They never once complained, even as they navigated the heat and fast-paced schedule to ensure every significant moment was captured perfectly.
What truly set the Passion Studio Team apart was their commitment to going above and beyond. They didn’t just take photos; they sought out those fleeting, candid moments that truly tell the story of our wedding day. From the quiet glances between us to the laughter shared with our guests, they documented every detail with an artistic eye and a genuine passion for their work. Their ability to blend into the background while still being in the right place at the right time was extraordinary, resulting in a collection of photographs that exceeded our expectations.
The final images were breathtaking, each one a testament to their skill and dedication. The way they captured the vibrant colors of Puerto Vallarta, the emotion of our ceremonies, and the love that filled the day was nothing short of magical. We now have a timeless collection of memories that we will cherish forever, thanks to Raymond, Henry, and the entire Passion Studio Team.
If you’re looking for photographers who combine professionalism, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to capturing life’s most precious moments, I wholeheartedly recommend Passion Studio Team. They made our engagement and wedding experiences even more memorable, and we are endlessly grateful for their talent and heart. -

We booked Passion Studio for our wedding reception on Saturday, October 5th, 2024 after not quite vibing with the photographer we booked for our engagement shoot. Our first conversation was with Raymond, who was really easy to talk to and he patiently answered all of our questions. Bang, Raymond’s partner, took over as our lead photographer and even though we only met briefly, he was super easy to talk to and work with. We had an amazing experience with them and wanted to highlight some points of the day that really stuck out to us.
Starting at our hotel, the team showed up promptly at 12:00pm. We were actually surprised to see them so early that we weren’t even getting ready yet lol. They then split us up to do our getting ready pictures and video shots with the bride getting ready in the room with her sister in-law and niece, and the groom getting ready in the hotel lobby with his brother. These photos and video shots were so fun to do! They were incredibly professional the entire time and it was clear they had a plan going into this. The groom was doing trick shots on the pool table and getting debonair pictures by the hotel bar, while the bride was getting 5 star treatment in her getting ready photos in the room. The day started out really strong and we were very happy so far.
We arrived at Saratoga Springs about 2 hours before the event was to start to do our photoshoot. The photography team had clearly been here before which was a reason why we picked them, but it was clear they had a sequence of events and planned this out very well. We took photos and videos all around the venue, with classic shots on the bridge, the arches, by the creek, and in the forest area. The hardest part of taking photos is not knowing how to pose, what to do with our bodies or hands, but they made us feel very comfortable. We re-read our vows for the video and that was a blast. We had props like a giant sword (our theme was LOTR) and other accessories that were highlighted really well in our photos and videos.
Throughout the event, we were so surprised. They weren’t just taking photos, they almost acted like part of the wedding coordinator team. They helped direct traffic to what events were happening, knowing exactly where to set up lights and what parts of the event were happening when. It was like our wedding coordinator team doubled in size, and every single thing we could have asked for was granted and executed without flaw by Bang and his team. We were extremely happy and impressed with their performance and professionalism. He even correctly pinned the groom’s boutonniere when the florist and wedding coordinator couldn’t due to the thickness of the flower stems. 🙂
Although we would have loved a sneak peak, surprisingly, within two weeks of our reception, we received our full gallery of 1000+ photos! It has been absolutely wonderful reliving that magical night through the captured memories. 10/10 and we highly recommend them for your big event’s photography and videography. -

Jaclyn Sent on 10/04/2024Amazing and talented team!
I couldn’t recommend them enough! They were so flexible and adaptable to how we wanted to capture and share our wedding story. We booked them for our wedding at Camp Pollock in Sacramento, September 2024, and their team was both professional and our personal hype crew. We loved all the footage and photos—they exceeded our expectations! -

Highly recommend Raymond and his team!
It was a such a pleasure working with Passion Studios for our engagement photoshoot and wedding day photography and videography! We didn't have much experience being in front of the camera but the team was very patient talking us through what to do and giving us direction. On the wedding day, they did a fantastic job at keeping everything fun and lighthearted but also on track (I'm talking especially about wrangling all of the family members for the group photos!).
Turnaround time was also very prompt - we received both photography and videography results just one month after our wedding day. The photos and video turned out absolutely stunning and we couldn't be more happy with the results! -

Highly recommend Passion Studios!
I highly recommend Passion Studios as the team to hire for your wedding day!
We met the Passion Studios team a year and a half before our wedding at our best friends’ wedding. We had just begun our own wedding planning at that time and had not yet thought about hiring photographers/videographers yet. However, after experiencing the professionalism, kindness, and organization of the Passion Studios team, we knew right away that we wanted to hire them for our big day.
A few months later they took our engagement photos in the Bay Area at 3 beautiful locations; we intended to use these photos for our save the dates. They made us feel very comfortable and had us laughing throughout the shoot, which was helpful for great photos for our save the dates.
Throughout our planning process, I communicated with Raymond, and he was very responsive, accessible, and kind. He arranged a Zoom call with my fiancé and I the month before the wedding to go over details for our wedding day and made note of the details we asked to be covered on our wedding day.
The team was hired as vendors for a friends’ wedding which occurred 3 weeks before ours. It was a great experience working with them again, and definitely got us excited for our big day!
On our wedding day, they were attentive and even memorized the names of our large bridal party and immediate families. I think that this truly made an impact by making everyone feel so comfortable with the many photos we took that day. Since my fiancé and I had experienced working with Passion Studios three times before already, their professionalism, organization, and up-beat energy were no surprise to us.
Not only did the team capture our wedding day beautifully, but they also made us feel confident, relaxed, and kept us smiling and laughing throughout the day. They truly made our experience with them an enjoyable one!
We received a hefty amount of sneak peek photos a week after our wedding, which was a very pleasant surprise. We received our edited photos and videos less than two months after our wedding and were so impressed with the production quality. Raymond communicated with us frequently after sending us our footage to ask us if we wanted any edits or revisions to be made; we did not expect this level of kindness and personalization.
In summation, I cannot thank Raymond and the entire Passion Studios team enough. They are a group of talented and creative individuals who make an effort to make the individuals they work with feel comfortable and confident—this extends beyond the bride and groom; our bridal party, families, and even guests can attest to this. It is clear that the team loves what they do!

Lilly Sent on 11/28/2022Beautiful & Artistic Photographers
Working with Raymond and his team has left us speechless. Raymon was all set to do our wedding in 2020 and stuck with us over the years to finally be our photographer in April 2022. He arrived on site early, brought the bride and groom a coffee, and had such a positive spirit that lit up the room. Although we had only met one time in person, when Raymon entered the room I felt like I was seeing an old friend. Him and his team were so kind, professional, had great suggestions but most of all fun. Throughout the day they had to work with a lot of situation and many personalities and dynamics - they handled it with grace. We received some previews within a few days of the wedding and we are blown away by the quality of these photos. Raymon and his team captured our event so we can have these memories for the rest of our lives. We cannot thank Passion Studio enough for their hard work and dedication! These are the best photographers you could ever work with!!! -

Nathan Sent on 10/23/2022We have SO many photos that we love!
It definitely took us a while to find the right photographer: one who had the look/style we wanted, who had the right energy/personality/vibe for the wedding, and was excited to capture this event. When we finally found Raymond and his team, we knew immediately the pictures were exactly what we wanted. Working with them through the planning process was easy and they were always looking for solutions. In fact, we hired Raymond to fly down and take our engagement photos (in San Diego). It was a great way to meet and discover how he works when he's taking pictures. On the day of our wedding, his team were some of the first vendors to arrive and the last to leave. We couldn't believe how invisible they were (I almost never remember seeing them), and yet, looking at the photos, they were clearly everywhere capturing so many amazing moments. The biggest challenge is picking out our favorites - we almost can't believe how much they did! Truly they were wonderful to work with and we are so grateful they were part of our celebration! -

Janet Sent on 07/06/2022Great to Work With!
We are so glad we chose Passion Studio for our wedding (and engagement) photography and videography. We booked them almost a year in advance of our May 2022 wedding and they have been a breath of fresh air to work with right from when we sent them an inquiry and even until long after the wedding. They’re friendly and fun, reliable, efficient, and dependable. Their whole team makes you feel like you’ve got friends taking photos and videos of you and we honestly just trusted them to do their thing - the photos and videos came out amazing! They’re also very accommodating and easy to work with. As a bride, I felt like making any requests made it seem as if I wasn’t letting the professionals do their job, but they never made me feel like I was asking for too much. There are so many things to worry about when it comes to a wedding already, so getting vendors you can trust and basically be hands-off with is a great feeling. Do yourself a favor and book Passion Studio, because if anything, they make your experience even more exciting! Raymond, Bang, and team - thank you for helping us create and keep our memories for a lifetime! -

Reese Sent on 02/27/2022We are so thankful for this team!
After losing our luggage at the airport, I was just about to give up on the vision we had for our engagement shoot. However, my fiancé Jon and our photographer were determined to make this magical photoshoot happen. My fiancé and I are so thankful for this team for turning our muggy, rainy day into a chance to dance in the rain. Our photos turned out beautifully! Raymond is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and full of life! He is a master of his craft as a photographer. We are looking forward to working with this wonderful team on our wedding day soon! -

Korin Sent on 01/20/2022Best wedding vendor imaginable! Worth every penny.
We cannot say enough about how amazing it was to work with Bang, Raymond, and the rest of the Passion Studios team!!! From start to finish, they were BY FAR the most outstanding wedding vendors we had the privilege of working with.
From day one, Bang and Raymond went above and beyond to get to know our story and truly understand the vision we had for our wedding. They chatted with us for hours to learn who we were as people and hear about all of our hopes and expectations. Honestly, this was what I appreciated most about working with them--their warmth, patience, and ability to make you feel truly cared for throughout the process. But also, they are SO FREAKING TALENTED!!!
Their professional skill level is beyond compare and they are excellent communicators. During our engagement shoot, they knew exactly how to direct us and captured the sweetest moments imaginable. Like I didn't even know we could look that good--but they worked absolute magic, let me tell you! They also knew exactly what moments to capture at our wedding because they listened to every word we shared about what mattered most to us. I can't imagine feeling more understood and attended to by a vendor. They felt like friends by the time we had our wedding and we 100% would have invited them as guests if we hadn't hired them!
In summary, we give them the highest recommendation possible for capturing not only the best memories of our lives, but also for capturing our hearts. We love you guys and are forever grateful for your incredible services!!! We can't wait to have a reason to hire Passion Studios again. :) -

Jennifer Sent on 10/31/2021Professional, Fun, and Effortless
We hired Passion Studios for our engagement and wedding day photography and videography. The day of the engagement shoot, it was pouring rain! We were so scared that we would not be able to take any pictures. But with everyone's positive mindset and the ability to "make it work", it came out beautifully. However due to COVID, we had to postpone our wedding day to a year later. Raymond was always very responsive whenever we had questions or concerns. On the day of the wedding, Bang and Jill were very communicative with us and our wedding party. They made us feel comfortable and stress free. They understood what was important to capture for us. We loved our pictures and videos! We loved the attention to detail; the way emotions and décor were captured, couldn’t get any better. I kept playing the highlight video on repeat! They even delivered the final product earlier than expected. I didn’t think we would receive the photos and videos back in a month, but it did!
If anyone is looking for a professional and fun team to capture their special day, head on to Passion Studios! -

Tien Sent on 10/27/2021The A Team!!
We picked Passion Studios to capture our big day because we received numerous recommendations from friends/family and we are so glad we did! They were an amazing and fun team to work with. Raymond, Logan, and Tommy were so helpful in helping us organize our chaotic day. Even my family complemented how much they loved the team! The video they delivered was so beautifully captured- the edits, the music, and the audio were all perfect. It made my wife and I cry, and laugh reliving the moments. It is something we’ll have for the rest of our lives to remind us how special our wedding day was. We can’t thank Passion Studios enough and would highly recommend their team!! -

Amazing team for all your wedding day photos and video needs!
After getting recommendation from our friend and reading so many 5-star reviews here, we decided to work with Passion Studio for our wedding including photography, videography, engagement session, and photo booth service. Being a bride during this pandemic, I had to postpone our wedding almost a whole year, and had to make many last minute changes including venue change. Throughout this journey, Passion Studio was not just a vendor. They were our partners and friends who helped us have the most beautiful day of our lives. If I could, I would give them 50 stars!
We held our engagement session in Davis, CA. My husband and I are not used to professional photo sessions so we felt pretty awkward at first but they helped us bring out the best in ourselves and be comfortable with cameras around us. Pictures obviously came out beautifully. This engagement session really helped us be comfortable for the actual wedding day photos and videos.
Passion Studio team came early on our wedding day and set up everything perfectly. They were super professional and friendly and just so nice to work with. They genuinely cared about their bride and groom and captured our special moments with friends and family without us even realizing. They had spot-on recommendations on where to take pictures and we really just had fun throughout the whole day. They even offered to come back after our wedding to take more pictures of our after-party! Their photo booth was also so worth it. They custom designed the template for photo booth pictures and our guests absolutely had so much fun with it at the wedding.
We just received the photos and videos this week and totally fell in love with them. They look so natural and beautiful - I was able to live through that day again while watching the video and looking at the photos and just felt so many feelings all over again. I am so happy that we picked Passion Studio to share the day with and would recommend this team to anyone. They truly go above and beyond. Look no further, you have found your photo/videographer! -

We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with, leading up to our special day and on the day of. Passion studio isn’t just your normal photography/videography team, they end up being your family. They are very accommodating, fun to work with, and most of all, respectful in everything they do. Not only do they capture all the moments you wish to relive, they tell the story you were only wishing for, that ended up coming true. They create the art, while you are the art. They are rated A1 in our books and we will never forget our day because of them. If you are ever looking for a team to party with, make sure you hit them up! They don’t just paint the picture for you on your day, they join the party too! The more the merrier when it comes to partying right?! And most of all, being interactive, they are all about that. Thank you Bang and Raymond, plus team for doing what you guys do best, but also, for being a part of our family now. We will always cherish these memories, but also create new ones with you! -
