We were so lucky to have Te Dua Weddings capture our special day. From the moment we first spoke with Enea, his communication style was filled with love and enthusiasm and he understood exactly what we wanted/were looking for . Enea and Hayley were a true joy to work with, making us feel cared for and appreciated throughout the entire process. I came to Enea with the idea of entering our Venue with a video rather than with a song. Him and Hayley both captured our engagement pictures and clips for our video. He presented a beautiful gallery of photos for us and then the video. Which was perfect to say the least! The quality of their work is simply outstanding and you can tell they put their love into what they do! We are so grateful to have such beautiful, timeless photographs as well as Video that perfectly preserve the magic of our wedding and Engagement. Te Dua Weddings truly was one of a kind, going above and beyond to ensure our day was everything we dreamed of and more. We cannot recommend them highly enough. We ran into issues 4 days before with our Photographer (We only hired Te Dua for Wedding day Video) and Enea was kind enough to offer pictures as well in between capturing for the video. He did something he wasn't hired to do and made our day that much less stressful. Cheers Enea & Hayley. We are forever grateful for you two!! I will for sure be re-hiring them for any future events and I would chose them Over and over and over again. Don't hesitate to look elsewhere, Te Dua Weddings, is the perfect choice! Enea, YOU OUTDID YOURSELF!! P.S. I even got my Cinderella moment and it was unplanned!!!

I’m Adam Clark, a Livermore-based photographer capturing weddings with authenticity and heart. I love documenting real moments—the laughter, the tears, the joy—so couples can relive their day for years to come. My approach is a mix of candid storytelling and beautiful, timeless portraits. Every wedding is unique, and I’m passionate about creating images that reflect your story, personalities, and love in a way that feels natural and unforgettable.

Adam is so much more than a wedding photographer. From the very beginning, he became a meaningful part of our entire wedding experience, not just someone there to take pictures. He brought a calm presence, a thoughtful eye, and an incredible ability to be in the right place at exactly the right moment. What sets Adam apart is how deeply he understands people. He didn’t just capture images, he captured emotion. The joy, the love, the quiet in-between moments, and the beauty of the day were all honored in a way that feels authentic and timeless. Every photo tells a story, and together they reflect the heart of my daughter’s wedding in the most beautiful way possible. As a parent, I cannot overstate how much it meant to know those moments were being cared for with such intention. Adam elevated the day simply by being part of it. If you are looking for someone who will truly see you, your people, and your story, Adam is that person. We are forever grateful for the memories he preserved for our family.

Hey, I'm Diep, the photographer at Warm Heart Photography. Based in Concord, California, I offer service around the Bay Area, and beyond. My goal is to sharpen my skills every day, serve my best, and create happy memories for my clients. Thank you for stopping by. I look forward to meeting you.

We are so happy we chose Warm Heart Photography (Diep) for both our engagement and wedding day photos. For our engagement shoot, she was incredibly friendly, responsive, and was very accommodating--even bringing a quick-change tent! She made sure to capture every shot we wanted from our shot list, and the photos turned out absolutely stunning and ethereal (exactly like we had envisioned). On our wedding day, Warm Heart Photography was equally amazing. Despite the hectic environment, Diep and her second shooter came prepared, was professional and adapted seamlessly to the ever changing environment. They worked hard to get every shot on our list, and the photos turned out beautiful and candid. (There were so many nice shots, that it was hard to choose our favorites!) They did such an amazing job with capturing everything on the day. We didn't have time to soak in everything around us, but with the photos, we were able to relive the day! Diep has a great work ethic and we wouldn't hesitate to refer her to our friends and family. We're so grateful for her talent, dedication, and kindness throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a photographer who truly cares about her clients and will do everything she can to capture your vision, Diep is the one!

Loes Takes Clips 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Oakland, CA

I'm a photographer who loves, love and being able to share that through my lens is what drives everything I do. I have a deep adoration for storytelling and capturing the authentic, unscripted moments that matter most. I believe every love story is unique, and my goal is to bring excitement, ease, and a calming presence to your most important day. With a passion for preserving real emotions and meaningful memories, I aim to capture photographs that you'll cherish for a lifetime.

Logan has been a good friend of mine for years, so asking her to photograph our engagement shoot was a no-brainer for me. Her natural ability to bring any vision to life, mixed with her unwavering work ethic, is what sets her apart. I can tell her one idea I have, and she will effortlessly create something better than I could have ever imagined. We have a 1965 Corvette in our family that I thought would be cool to use as part of our shoot. I trusted her to tell us where and how we could incorporate it, and she brought our vision to life. She goes above and beyond, even standing in the middle of the road in Carmel-by-the-Sea as cars try to pass, to bring that vision to life. Also, we are far from naturals in front of the camera. I always rely on Logan to give us ideas for how to create movement and relax. Working with someone so kind and able to make you feel comfortable is crucial, because it not only creates an outcome you will love, but you will have fun doing so as well.

Carly is a long time family friend so it was a no-brainer to have her be a part of our special day, but she delivered far above our expectations! We couldn't imagine our wedding day without her, and have gone back to her for every family photo, maternity shoot, and Christmas card since. She managed to get both the traditional bridal party shots and candids that told the whole story of our wedding. If we had to redo our day all over again, we wouldn't have changed a thing about working with Carly!!
