Vic is an incredible photographer. When we started looking into finding the perfect photographer for our wedding, I wasn't really sure what to look for. I am so happy we found her. She called me and explained to me her entire process and what to expect during our big day. I really appreciate that she has a vision and makes it come to life in her photos. She is such a kind person and very easy to get along with. Many compliments from our wedding party on how great she was. She was also very quick to edit and deliver our photos.

Hi there! I'm Sean, a Bay Area native who is pretty darn handy with a camera. I started my professional photography journey during the pandemic after losing my job working in STEM and Art Education. I decided to bet on myself and pursue my passion, which is to be a full-time photographer. What excites me most about being a photographer is the opportunity to create incredible art with amazing people. I love meeting new people and connecting with them. Wedding photography is so fulfilling because it requires so much trust, and seeing the joy from couples when they see their photos is truly magical.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sean has been one of the best photographers to work with. Our paths crossed for the first time this year while we worked a wedding together. The wedding was big & chaotic but Sean was extremely polite and easy to work with.He was also a real gentlemen and was very respectful regarding my time with the bride. The bridal party enjoyed his company along with the other 3 vendors we shared space with. His easy going personality was calming and his professionalism never went unnoticed. Mr Wash also went out of his way to share the gallery from that day. He made me feel very appreciated, it was an honor to be thought of even weeks after the event. I hope to work with Mr Wash again in the near future. His calm kind personality paired with his talent makes him a prime pick for any client or vendor.

Ripple Rain Photography

San Jose, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

Nice to meet you, I am Sharyce. You are here which means you already know I like to take pictures. But WHY I take pictures is a different story. For nearly a decade I called myself a photographer because I picked up my camera occasionally and made some extra cash here and there. A version of myself now likes to look back and cringe at the photographer from a decade ago. However she (me) set the foundation for my career path today. When I became a mother I found that pictures had much more meaning behind them. Yes, I am going to go into the stereotypical photographers speil about “visual storytelling”.

Working with Ripple Rain Photography was an absolute dream from start to finish! From the moment we first connected, she was easygoing, approachable, and incredibly professional, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. As a gay couple, finding someone who truly understands and celebrates love in all its forms was so important to us, and Ripple Rain Photography exceeded all our expectations. She brought a warm, inclusive energy that made us feel seen, respected, and celebrated. Ripple Rain Photography was more than just a photographer; she was a genuine part of our special day. She engaged with us and our guests effortlessly, making everyone feel comfortable and capturing authentic, beautiful moments. Her ability to direct us naturally while also letting our personalities shine was a testament to her talent and experience. And the pictures—oh my goodness—the pictures are beyond stunning! Every shot radiates with love, joy, and the magic of the day. From candid moments to perfectly composed portraits, she has an eye for detail and creativity that brought our wedding memories to life. The quality of her work is unparalleled, and her work ethic is impeccable. She went above and beyond to ensure every moment was captured perfectly, even staying late to snap a few last-minute shots we requested. If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, artistic, and truly passionate about her craft, look no further than Ripple Rain Photography. She is an absolute gem, especially for LGBTQ couples who want someone who “gets it” and makes the experience unforgettable. We cannot recommend her highly enough and will cherish her work forever. Thank you, Ripple Rain Photography, for capturing the best day of our lives so beautifully! Ivan & Tommy Sunderland

Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Sarah from Sarah Luther Photography. I specialize in weddings, family portraits and event photography. I started Sarah Luther Photography out of a passion for capturing love and emotion through photography. Growing up, my mom would always take tons of family pictures. I was given a camera as a gift when I was 10 years old and haven't been without one since. :)

Sarah and her husband Ori photographed our wedding in July and we couldn't be happier with our photos. They make a great team, professional and easy to work with. Amazing photographers who love what they do and its evident in their photos. We wanted more candid, natural pictures opposed to posed ones. They got so many unexpected moments and memorable shots. From getting ready, to the ceremony, to dancing at the receptions and everything in-between. All without even knowing that they were there taking pictures. We were so happy that we chose Sarah as our photographer and you will too!!! Thank You Sarah and Ori for photographing our wedding!!! Eydie & Rick

Obsessed with weddings that FEEL better than they look! I jump in right away to help build out a stress free and relaxed timeline to ensure you truly enjoy your day. With a natural and organic approach to lighting and posing it's important to me that you have images that capture your happiness and all the emotions! Country music, dirt roads, camping, plants and breakfast anytime of day makes my heart happy. I love turning everyday life into an adventure!

Quianna shot my engagement photos and wedding and I could not be happier with my photos and the overall experience! Quianna is an absolute master of her craft and has a serious love for photographing weddings that shines through in every interaction you have with her. My fiancé and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera but I guarantee if you were an outsider looking in on our engagement/wedding shoots you would think we had done this a million times before! Quianna does an amazing job of providing direction on how to pose and her positive feedback and exclamations like "magic is happening!" made us feel so comfortable. We couldn't believe we actually had FUN taking so much many pictures and its all thanks to her. I could go on and on about how much I love Quianna and 100% recommend her for any photography needs. You will love your photos and also love her spirit! Thank you again Quianna!

My name is Brittani and photography is my ARTlet. Inspired by the constant flow of love and energy of the world, I photograph people who value authenticity and connection. I reside in San Jose, but with the heart of the adventurer, I'm always ready to grab my backpack and go.

Brittani was recommended to us by our planner, Dumi Gordon — and I’m so glad we went with her. From start to finish, Brittani was a consummate processional. She’s communicative, empathetic, and very talented. On the day of she was calm, upbeat, and efficient. Everyone loved working with her, from our wedding party to family and guests. Brittani is especially good at making her subjects look and feel natural- not always an easy feat at a wedding! Her 2nd photographer, Lahni, was also great! We’ve already seen our sneak photos (Brittani sent them ahead of schedule) and they are gorgeous! Can’t wait to see the rest (I know they will be surpass our already high expectations).

Angela Sue Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. They were precise and thoughtful in their instructions and communication, which put us at ease throughout the day. Their work is very intentional and detail-oriented - they showed up promptly and made us feel like our day was their top priority. For example, Michael and Angela had memorized the names of our family members in advance, which made the group photos seamless and efficient. We couldn't have asked for better photographers to capture our special day. The photos are airy, bright, and perfectly capture all the details and couple shots. Angela and Michael made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and blended in seamlessly with our wedding celebration. There is no one better we could have had for our wedding photography.

Trung Hoang Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,495
  • Serves San Jose, CA

My name is Trung, the head honcho at this eponymously named company. My name is pronounced “Troon”, which sounds like spoon, so ignore those other letters that make life complicated. I've been a photographer for close to 10 years, photographing things big and small, far and wide. It's pretty incredible how impactful and valuable a split second image of a given time, place, person, or object can mean to a person. Whether it's a photograph of someone you love or a place you'd love to be, photographs spark memories or inspire the pursuit of new ones and that's why I love it.

Trung was an amazing photographer to work with, and the easiest of our vendors to work with. He and his wife, who typically shoots with Trung, came to the venue to tour it with us and get a feel for the area. His communication and organization are top notch. Most importantly for my wife who is camera-shy, Trung is great at making people feel comfortable around a camera, and directing poses and looks that he thought would be nice. As a hobbyist photographer, some things I really appreciated about him are he is someone who is completely ok with you taking the digital files he gives you and editing them yourself, which some photographers do not allow. He also takes amazing landscape photos, and brings those skills and artistic sensibilities into his editing and wedding photography. We later (about a year later) asked Trung to put together a wedding album for us which he gladly did, going through 4 iterations with us. I also asked for one of the photos to be edited slightly different to fit the rest of the page which Trung was happy to do for us. Other things about Trung: 1) Punctual 2) Flexible (our wedding ended up running behind and suffered a blackout at the venue, both of which he took in stride) 3) Captures great photos, posed and candid! My wife and I would hire Trung again in a heartbeat! We still keep in touch with him more than a year post wedding if that helps to show you how great of a guy he is.
