    Awesome Video

    My wife and I met Russ and Thet at a wedding expo while shopping for videographers. We got great vibes from them from the start. They answered our questions without feeling like they were trying to sell us. We ended up hiring them for our wedding. On the day of our wedding, they were cordial, professional, and great to work with. We received our video in good time and couldn't be happier with the result. We received many compliments from our friends and family. We highly recommend them.

    Russ and Thet came highly recommended by my friend thus making them my "non-negotiable" wedding vendor. :)) Even before I met them, I knew they were 'the one' and that I had to book them asap! I stalked their website like crazy and was so excited that I went to a bridal show only for them. Fast forward to our wedding day and true enough, they delivered far beyond expectations! Our preview photos were beautiful!

    I have nothing but praises for this husband and wife duo.
    They are excellent at what they do, always prompt and knows how to ease an anxious bride like me. LOL :))

    Thank you Russ and Thet! 20,30,40 years from now, when we're old and grey, we'll have something beautiful and tangible to remember our wedding day by, thanks to you!

    Update: Got our wedding album already and it was well worth the wait! It's a high-quality album that's placed inside a beautiful, sturdy case. It comes with a custom USB as well. Great value overall!!!

    Oh man! Though we just had our wedding last 11/10/17 and have yet to receive our full wedding day pictures/videos, the preview pictures I've gotten are far exceeding my expectation! From the first time Michelle and I met Russ and Thet at a bridal convention in the LA convention center, we had that feeling we might have found our photo/video vendor. Then we called and set up our meet and boy were we instantly hooked! We didn't even finish our car ride home from the meeting and we already sent an e-mail out confirming our choice! As a duo, they aren't lying when they say they are the complete opposite but thats what makes them so good together! The fact that they both have different vision and styles really makes the shoot and the result that much better! If you want someone professional, prompt, and just as excited as you for your event while delivering high quality shots, Russ and Thet will not disappoint you!!!

    I can not be happier with the service and professionalism of Russ and Thet. They are wonderful at figuring out exactly what their clients are looking for and working with them to make their dreams a reality. They help clients to create a mood and give the photos they take feeling. I recommend them to anyone and everyone. They truly are an amazing team and made my dreams come true!

    Amazing photographers

    Russ and Thet were honestly the BEST photographers we could have ever asked for, for our special Day. They literally captured every important moment of our wedding journey from mesmerizing engagement photos to "getting ready" to ceremony and reception. The highlight video they provided was spectacular, everytime I want to relieve our wedding day I just play it and it just takes me back to every exciting moment of that day. If your considering booking them please do, you will not regret it they are a dynamic duo that will make every vision you had in mind come to reality. Thank you Russ and Thet for everything.

    We were very blessed to have them as our videographer at our wedding. They captured our beauty and the beast themed wedding in such a creative way. We got nothing but compliments from our friends and family about our save the date video. They were very accommodating to our requests and even came to shoot our Cambodian wedding the day before. They were able to capture all the important moments that we will be able to share with our loved ones forever. If anyone is looking for a videographer/photographer that has a creative eye and has the talent to make it look fun and effortless, you need to look into them. Thank you Russ & Thet for helping capture our big day!

    Russ and Thet are the most awesome and kind wedding vendor you will ever meet . They are also both amazing photographers ,editors , and professionals . They started with my wife and me back in December 2015 when we met up at Glendale galleria on a rainy busy afternoon and they made such a great first impression . It wasn't just their sample albums, canvases, portraits they provided but it was their charm and friendly personalities that won us over . We realized from meeting so many vendors is that all photographers are different and talented in their own ways but for an engagement and wedding photo shoot the photographers mainly have to really connect with the couple . Russ and Thet are the most approachable vendor we have encountered. Over the course of almost a year and a half we now appreciate the immeasurable efforts they put into their very reasonable packages that include different types of physical albums, dvds, online photo access , canvases, prompt response to questions/concerns , and after hour meet ups . But most important the quality of their work is amazing. We had a three location engagement photo shoot and traditional Vietnamese morning ceremonies and reception at a hotel and they had wonderful pictures from all those settings. And even on the engagement photoshoot day we planned to have shots in Pasadena but unfortunately it was barricaded off due to a last minute event, my wife was already in her large wedding dress , Russ and Thet calmed us down and quickly recommended another location in Los Angeles and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. You can see their experience with the Southern California area impacted the situation in a positive way. They also were real fun to work with especially on all their photo shoots and the big day . Our parents, family, friends, wedding party, and even hotel catering manager also loved them . In short, Russ and Thet are aces !

    Russ & Thet are nothing short of amazing! We used them for our engagement and wedding day pictures, and we extremely happy. We have received so many compliments on our photos. I am not photogenic, but Russ & Thet made me and my now husband very comfortable. It was like hanging out with 2 good friends from the moment we met them. Thet also has a background in wedding coordination which I think helped my DIY wedding day go much smoother, she was able to make suggestions on how much time to allocate to "first looks", "getting ready", etc.

    Having a husband & wife team turned out to be a great find for us, they were able to comfortably show us poses with each other for us to mimic. They encouraged getting a lot of candid photos as well as posed, and they turned out great. Their prices have increased since we booked them, but if they're in your budget, I'd highly recommend them!

    Russ and Thet are very professional. We scheduled for a meeting at 9.30pm which was pretty late, but they were able to accommodate us and come to a location that's close to us. However, since we ran over from the previous meeting, we had to miss the meeting with Russ. They arrived earlier than 9.30 and waited for us for 40 minutes! We were really sorry that we made them wait and were not able to show up, but they remained professional for the whole time and kindly asked for rescheduling. Although we did not have the chance to work with them, from our conversations and interactions, we have no doubt of their efforts to accommodate and remain professionalism for their customers. highly recommended. a great team to trust.

    Russ and Thet work very well as a team. They are able to capture images that are authentic and beautiful. We met them at Sequoia Nat'l park and they had already identified a beautiful area to shoot engagement photos! My now wife and I highly recommend Russ and Thet coupled with that setting. The scenery is beyond words and having that backdrop is something my wife and I will look back on fondly for the rest of our lives. We had also scheduled our wedding photos at a Temecula winery for August of this year (2016) but when we learned we were pregnant and moved the date up to December 2015 Russ was still able to accommodate the change and meet us for wedding photos in Malibu. In essence they offer a quality product, they are fun to work with and they are flexible. Thanks Russ & Thet

    I am so glad I chose Russ and Thet to be our engagement and wedding photographer. They are extremely professional and the nicest people you'll ever meet. Their work is amazing, capturing the essence of beauty and giving us the best memories to hold onto for the rest of our lives. We chose their most top package and it was the best decision ever.

    Prior to booking them, I did a lot of wedding photography research for the best quality of work and price. I had an extremely hard time finding the right photographers, and thankfully we ran into Russ and Thet at a wedding expo. Nothing came close to Russ and Thet. There were too many other photographers out there with ridiculous hidden fees (extra charge for this and that). Russ and Thet had none of that and their quality of work is on point. You got nothing to worry about if you have Russ and Thet. I would recommend them to everyone! I already did the research for you...just book Russ and Thet. Thank me later :)

    My (now) husband and I hired Russ and Thet for both our engagement and wedding photos and could not be happier with our choice. They are such talented photographers with wonderful personalities to match. You could definitely see how they aimed to bring energy and passion to their work.

    Their photos are vibrant, natural, and full of life. They are an expert in bringing out the best in their subjects and are able to capture spontaneous expressions and emotions, seemingly effortlessly.

    Throughout the entire process, Russ and Thet were very responsive and organized, with a wealth of helpful guides and tips. On the wedding day, they both worked efficiently and seamlessly with the videographers. They led the charge during the portrait sessions, making sure we stayed on schedule and covered everything we had discussed. During the ceremony and reception, they were able to capture all of the key moments without being intrusive. Also, the best part of the day was that they were even able to create a same day slide show of the photographs. This was such a treat and so many guests complimented on how beautiful the photos were and how they loved being able to see the photos of the bridal party getting ready, photos with our our families, and even a few from our engagement.

    I cannot recommend Russ and Thet enough. If you are looking to capture some beautiful memories, please book them!

    With so many other wedding photographers to choose from, we were so happy that we made the best and right decision in choosing Russ & Thet to capture this special event in our lives. They were so professional and so talented on what they do. Very approachable and amazing couple. There was never a dull moment working with them, we had a lot of fun from our engagement session up until the wedding day itself. They made the whole process very easy-breezy for us. In addition to a great service, they provide affordable packages too. Plus, it's definitely worth having the albums and of course all copies in a personalized CD / flash drive.

    As for the pictures, they were all beautifully and wonderfully captured. Precious moments and memories that we could always look back to and remind us of how great that day was. Our families and friends gave touching and nice compliments about them. We would absolutely love to work with them again in the future. We highly recommend Russ & Thet for your wedding photography needs.

    Russ & Thet, may your passion with work and your business continue to grow and prosper. Words aren't enough to express how thankful we are of you guys. Job well done! Keep it up! =)

    We thought that we were going to have a hard time finding photographers for our wedding. I think either our stars were just lucky or we are really blessed or maybe it could have been both. Russ and Thet are really great at what they do. Upon seeing their work we felt that they are right one for us. When we met up with them, we knew that there would be no more second thoughts and booked them. It was one of the best decisions that we made. They are very professional and a very talented tandem. The photos came out really great and once in a while my husband and I would look back at them and it gives back so much great memories. We've recommended them to our friends and even acquaintances and in fact, we loved them so much that we booked an upcoming family photo shoot this spring. Need I say more?! We love them!!! http://www.russandthet.com/

    From the day we consulted with them until the day all product was provided, we have nothing but praises for this wonderful husband-wife team from Whittier, CA. Russ (Russell) was the technical side, and Thet (Maria Theresa) was the creative side. No only were their rates realistic and affordable, but their service was comparable to others that charge more than they do.

    They did a great job capturing our special event, despite given only a month to prepare because of our last-minute wedding preparation. They had great intentions and went beyond our expectations to ensure that they capture what we wanted and more. One example is that they offered to do an additional, complimentary, 1-hour session to capture some portrait shots that weren't done the day of the wedding because of our crazy schedule.

    From our engagement shots to the actual wedding, our fun-seeking personalities were revealed in their work. (We requested that this be highlighted more than the more serious, dramatic photos.)

    Lastly, being an experienced wedding coordinator, it's such an added value that Thet helped us with a timeline. She made realistic time frames for each part of our wedding and the amount of time for shots to be properly taken.

    Again, we have nothing but praise for this couple.

    Great Outcome!!!

    After many different options for a videographer, my husband and I decided on Russ and Thet. We liked what they had produced and the price was just right. I found them after attending the bridal expo, I loved their style right away. We only interviewed 3 photographers and we liked them right away. They came out for our engagement to shoot a save the date video, which came out great. The package they offered had everything I wanted for our wedding day, highlight, two people, full ceremony and reception. Communication was good overall, could be better. We received our highlight video 3 months after our wedding and our full video (reception/ceremony/raw) 4 months after the wedding. We are satisfied with the result of both highlight and full edited videos, we just wish they put more of the reception part in the full video. But after contacting them, they explained and said they will add the parts that we requested to be added to the edited video of ceremony and reception. They showed up on time for the wedding day and were professional. Never had any issues, I am happy they provide the raw footage because we get to see much more of what happened during the best day ever! We truly recommend them for video to other couples who are in the process of finding wedding vendors.
