    Ricky was a consummate professional from the time we met with him to discuss his services to the time he delivered our final wedding photo DVD. He's a great listener, a visionary, and a master of his craft. He's very considerate of our thoughts and feelings as a couple and strives to achieve what we want to achieve. He was amazing during our engagement photo shoot, and showed a ton of patience and never rushed us. At our wedding, he was very considerate of our guests when they asked to take photos, and he took great shots of every aspect of our wedding. He also worked very well with our other vendors who were present (florist, videographer, venue coordinator, etc.). If I had to dig deep and nitpick something, I'd only have to point out that you have to be patient with correspondence with Ricky. He handles a lot of clients and has a lot of work. He always treats you like you're his only client and you're a priority, but returning emails expeditiously isn't his strong suit. Believe me when I say he absolutely makes up for it with everything else.

    We had an excellent experience with Ricky at WPhotography. He was responsive, professional, and most importantly, took beautiful photos for our wedding day and engagement session. He's super friendly and does a great job of putting you at ease, and helping you pose if you're not used to getting professional photos taken (which we definitely weren't =P).

    I would highly recommend WPhotography. For us, I think the photographer was the single most important vendor for the wedding, and Ricky came through for us, capturing all the significant moments and taking some really stunning shots.

    Ricky is a outstanding and friendly photographer. He can find best moments to take great pictures during a very busy event. My family, friends, and I love his pictures so much, and these beautiful pictures preserve our memory as well.

    I had only met with one photographer which was Ricky from W Photography. After talking to him and seeing his work, I booked him right on the spot. He really understood and listened to what I was looking for. Ricky is extremely talented. I received many compliments on his work when I shared the pics with family and friends.

    Ricky came through for us when we were looking for a location to shoot after the ceremony. He choose the Marsh Lands which was outdoors and very unique. The day before the wedding, he took his wife with him to the Marsh Lands and used her as a photo subject to make sure he can find the perfect spots to capture for our big day! He even emailed us the pictures ahead of time and asked if we liked the location.

    We are so happy to have booked Ricky. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer! I would highly recommend him!

    Ricky Wong and his staff were top notch. The pictures turned out perfect! Our main problem is now choosing which of the many great pictures to choose for our album. The same day photo slideshow at the reception was awesome. Book him without hesitation!

    Ricky was great! We were looking for our wedding pictures to be classic, clean, and good quality. He was the perfect fit for us. He was easy to work with, flexible, quick turnaround time. We got our wedding pictures back within a month of our wedding. Our friends and family continue to rave about our wedding photos. And we LOVE our La Vie photo album. Our album is unique from other friend's, so we can only give credit to Ricky. Would definitely recommend him to family and friends. YAY RICKY WONG!!!

    Ricky is such a great photographer, he makes regular photos look out of this world. Even though he has very expensive and professional photography equipments, all the real magic found in his photos are from Ricky himself.

    Ricky Wong of W Photography was recommended to us by my husband's close friend. We had a very good feeling about him after the initial meeting because he was patient and really listened to our needs. He was also very professional and friendly, providing essential advice and suggestions which showcased his expertise. So, we decided to hire him for our wedding on 12/26/2010 and haven't regretted the decision since that day.

    Our engagement session was a month or so before the wedding. At first, we were very nervous because we were not models, but Ricky gave us a lot of guidance during the entire session and helped us relax. He joked with us and demonstrated poses. We just laughed the hours away. And the pictures came out AMAZING!! We couldn't believe how good we looked in them!!

    We hired Ricky and his team for pretty much the entire wedding day because of all the festivities that had to take place. Only Ricky was to come for the morning events and he arrived on time, despite the early schedule (8:30am!). He was wonderful at giving gentle directions to us and our guests when necessary and was unbelievably patient with all the extra "photographers" among my friends and family. Being an experienced photographer, he already knew what he was going to do next, so he was calm and collected. I did not have to worry about him at all.

    Ricky was able to compile a beautifully done wedding day highlight, including pictures of our childhood and some from that morning, at the wedding reception. I saw that Ricky was working very hard after the ceremony ended to put this together. Our family and all of the guests enjoyed the slideshow very much!

    Our wedding pictures came out exceptional!! We LOVE them, and everyone wanted to know who our photographer was! He did not miss any picture that you need to have, like the rings, the gown, the bouquet, (and the groom...) etc. And he captured precious moments that I don't think can be repeated. Looking through the pictures, it was like reliving the day. It was wonderful to see how happy everyone looked!

    We were really grateful that Ricky and his team were there to capture our wedding day!! These pictures will last a lifetime, and we are more than satisfied with them. I would highly recommend Ricky to anyone who wants beautiful memory for many years to come!!

    We picked out this photographer because of his style. We do not feel that our expectations were met! We were asked 2 hours before the scheduled depart time since the party was dying down if they could go! They also made some mistakes in the album and we had a horrible time getting it fixed. They did NOT edit their pictures well (left in flash issues) and I guess sent me an extra box with the first album. When the replacement came without a box the second time around I asked where it was and they told me I could pay another $75 for the box - it was a mistake the first time - HELLO!!! Oh - it also took at least 6 months to get our album!!! One last thing is if you want pictures of your crowd - this IS NOT the photographer for you. The pics we received were good - but the focus was mainly on the bridal party and most of our guests didn't get any pictures at all - I would have at least liked ONE of each table when we went around and greeted. I would NOT recommend this photographer for ANYONE...

    I have to agree with the previous reviewer, Thea. My pictures also turned out not so great. I had a lot of pictures of my bridal party and almost none of my 300 guests, not even candid shots. There were formal pics after the ceremony, but other than the one shot with people who chose to stick around, I don't have any with other people at the reception. This photographer may be good for you if you have a small wedding and you just want to focus on the bridesmaids and groomsmen.

    Most brides would want more pictures with family, a range of friends, and the couple getting married of course, the bride and groom. So you should really think about what you want in your wedding album.

    But I actually think he does very good engagement pictures and outstanding baby pictures, when the focus is only on 1 or 2 subjects. So his forte and passion may be geared more towards that arena, rather than the wedding day photography.
