Photographers near Millbrae

“TDE is an AWESOME company because they are all-inclusive. I initially booked them for the bilingual emcee, but grew to appreciate how this company did everything else as well!

-Wedding planning (Jessica): 5/5 There must have been more than 200 email interactions between me and Jessica as we planned this wedding for a year. She is quick to respond and has a lot of insight since she’s done so many. She is the only contact for all TDE vendors.

-Photo (Sam/Danielle) / Video (Christina/George): 4.5/5 When you book with TDE, they assign a photo and video team immediately. I didn’t book a pre-wedding photo session with them so I didn’t get to meet or talk to them until the morning of my wedding. They were very professional and hard-working. I almost gave up on sunset photos because I was running a bit late but they convinced me to do it and I am grateful for that. Some photos were angled weirdly and it had the speakers and lights in the photos/videos. Lastly, although they never said they would, they didn’t send me any sneak peek photos or video clips. I was told the final photos and videos would take about 6-8 weeks, but with so many other friends getting sneak peek photos after 1-2 days, I was hoping they would do this. I did ask for a few photos ahead of time for my thank you cards and that only took them 3 days to deliver five photos.

-HMU (Francis and two assistants): 5/5 Francis is top-notch. I paid for all of my bridesmaids and the mothers, so it was 7 additional people but she was flexible in getting us all done on time. She also had hair pieces and jewelry that she let me borrow for the day. Her assistants aren’t as good as her, but Francis was able to fix it upon request.

-Emcee (Jackson): 5/5 We booked TDE for a Chinese/English emcee and Jackson nailed it. We met him a few weeks before the wedding. My family said he was entertaining and made some funny talking points.

-DJ (Stuart): 5/5 everyone complimented our DJ. My husband and I kept shortening our first dance song even up until 2-3 days before the wedding, and Stuart was flexible with this.

-Photobooth (Ku): 4/5 I extended to 4.5 hours to allow for the entire reception. At some point, it ran out of paper so this caused the photobooth to not work for some time. But while refilling the paper, they didn’t tell anyone that they could continue to take photos. It wasn’t until I asked when it would be back up, that they said “oh you can continue taking photos and it’ll print once the new paper is in.” But when you see people working on the system, you assume it isn’t working. I wish they let the guests know this when it went down earlier so the guests can continue with it.

- they decorated my sweetheart backdrop, ceremony backdrop, tea ceremony backdrop, seating chart mirror, and welcome table. Everything looked beautiful and I got a lot of compliments.

-Florals: 4.5/5 they did my bouquet, my bridesmaids bouquets, cake florals, and family boutonnières. The boutonnières were harder to pin on. I also wanted anemones but they could never definitively tell me yes or no about the anemones until the week of, and I ended up not being able to get them so that was a bit disappointing. They were still pretty though.

In the end, I am glad I went with TDE. There are a few things that could have improved, but these are minor and could happen with any other vendor. I highly recommend them for any person who wants easy planning.“

“We couldn't recommend Jamie / Sugar Baby Photography enough! We had Jamie take our daughter's 1 year cake smash photos and they were absolutely stunning! Jamie is professional, crystal clear in providing instructions and quick to respond to my emails. She had no problem when I decided to change the background for our session a week out and was able to capture our little one so perfectly. Her studio is amazing, cozy and filled with a wide range of options for any type of photo session. We look forward to booking Jamie for family and baby sessions in the future. Don't over think it, just book your appointment NOW!“

“Aerial Canvas always comes through professionally and willing to go the extra mile not only for the real estate community but the clients themselves so they are fully satisfied knowing they are getting the best photos to showcase their home. Thanks for all that you do!!“

“Highly recommend Vivo photography to any future newly weds! We just looked through our gallery & we are so happy with all the beautiful photos! It was great working with Fernando and he did an amazing job at capturing our special day! As we look through them we are literally reliving our wedding day! We are grateful that he did a great job at capturing these special moments because we will keep these photos forever & relive our wedding day through them, thanks again vivo photography ? ?“

“Scott is kind and he aims to provide the best service with the best photos. Recommended!“

“If you're looking for an exceptional wedding videographer, look no further. Josh and his team captured our whole 14 hour wedding and didn't miss a beat! They made us feel comfortable and natural when recording us, which really showed through the videos Josh produced. We cried rewatching our videos and are so thankful to be able to relive that day. Trust in Josh and his storytelling process, you won't regret it!“

“I can't say enough good things about choosing to work with Vee for our wedding and engagement photos.

To begin, I love her style artistically. She takes clear photos, that are vibrant and don't look filtered, so I believe they'll stand the test of time and not become unreasonably dated. She does a wonderful combination of candid and posed—which was exactly what I wanted for my wedding—to capture the real moments and also get romantic shots with my husband and posed group shots. She captured every detail of the setting, our attire, those attending, didn't ask my husband and I to pose in ways that were 'not us,' and even made ordinary gift bags on a table look incredible. I couldn't be happier with the photos themselves. She also created a mini-video of our wedding day, and just like the photos, it was wonderful, personal, and sweet. I love that she provided this option and thought it was a perfect way to get both photos and video for a very affordable price.

She went above and beyond. Vee invested in us ahead of the wedding during our engagement photos, chatting with us and figuring out how we were together, so that the wedding day was more natural. And she wasn't familiar with the venue I selected, but she traveled there ahead of time to scout it out. She found the most amazing place covered in twisted vines and blue hydrangeas just outside our venue for our beauty shots, and I hadn't even thought of it. She didn't need to do any of that preparation work at all, but she did, and her investment showed.

She is also kind and never pushy. I can be a little shy, but she was easy to talk to and so very nice. She also really respected my requests and didn't try to oversell me on things I wasn't comfortable with, which wasn't always my experience when I was originally talking to a variety of different photographers in the beginning. I both like and trust her as a person, not just as a an artistic photographer, and I think that's important when you're working with someone to capture such intimate and important moments in your life.

Additionally, I found her services exceedingly reasonably affordable, especially when you consider location, quality, delivery, the packages she offers (video + photos), travel, preparation work she did, how much personal attention you get as she works with you, editing, and the kind extras she threw in for us. She was also fast. I've never known a photographer who got edited photos back to me as quickly as she did! That shocked me.

I don't know the next time I'll need photos taken again, but I plan to work with her when I do. I couldn't have made a better choice than Vee to do our Photography.“

“I have known Steve for a long time . When I needed some work done on a picture of my mother. I called him and made an appointment . I got to his office and boom he got it done . The picture turned out quite nice. Thank you Steve for a job well done“

“At first, I had suspicion of all these 5 star ratings. Yknow like those businesses that push you to rate 5 stars, even though theyre more like 3-4 stars. Like Honda Maintenance... Anyways, our first meeting with Chung was sort of a mess. Not his fault though. It was summertime- airconditioning was busted. So the studio space felt really warm, especially with all the lights. Thankfully, he was accomodating. We were all sweating in our formal wear. Take note we had layers of clothing. And we even brought more clothes to possibly change to. Chung offered these photo-shoot menthol face wipes (didnt know they existed). Overall, it felt like work. Ultimately when we received the final work, very happy that we got it done with Chung. Super memorable. Captured the moment in time. We have our photos displayed around the house. Felt homey-er.“

“The marketing package from JB Photo Homes blew my mind away! The photographer was patient and helpful and the customer service was superb! I can't express enough how happy I am to have found them. They went above and beyond to provide great quality work and to deliver what I requested. They absolutely exceeded my expectations with their work and technology. No doubt they made my listing stand out and I will continue to use them!!“

“We first met Nadya for our wedding photos and have since worked with her for maternity and newborn photos. We are so honored to have Nadya capture these special milestones in photos we will treasure!

She has incredible attention to detail, beautiful, airy, and natural editing style, and does a great job at directing poses (including making sure hair and clothes look good in the different angles!) She is so sweet and instills confidence in clients. She also has a quick turnaround with photos and is a great communicator. A true professional and a wonderful person all around.“

“To Whom it may concern
I am writing to offer my wholehearted recommendation for the proposed art mural project by
Arthur. Having had the pleasure of working with Arthur on several projects, I can attest to their
exceptional talent, creativity, and professionalism.
Arthur is a gifted muralist whose work has consistently transformed spaces, bringing vibrant
colors, engaging themes, and thought-provoking imagery to life. Their murals are not only
visually stunning but also culturally and socially relevant, often reflecting the history, diversity,
and spirit of the communities they serve.
One of the most notable projects I collaborated on with Arthur was the mural for Portola Grocery
Outlet. This mural has since become a landmark in the community, fostering a sense of pride and
belonging among residents. Arthur was meticulous in their planning and execution, taking the
time to engage with community members to ensure the mural reflected their collective vision and
values.
In addition to their artistic prowess, Arthur is a consummate professional. They are organized,
reliable, and adept at managing complex projects from conception to completion. Their ability to
collaborate effectively with a wide range of stakeholders—including community leaders, local
businesses, and fellow artists—is a testament to their strong interpersonal skills and commitment
to excellence.
I am confident that the proposed mural by Arthur will bring immense value. It will undoubtedly
serve as a powerful visual statement and a source of inspiration and pride for all who encounter
it. I wholeheartedly endorse Arthur for this project and am excited to see the positive impact
their work will undoubtedly bring.
Sincerely,

“Nieshka is a wonderful and extremely professional photographer who knows what she is doing. Her studio is super clean, modern, inviting and she has tons of props to shoot with. She was extremely caring and gentle with our daughter while she changed her, soothed her and got her in the cutest poses for the photos. Photos came out perfectly. Very high quality and editing was exactly what we asked for. Highly recommended. Hopefully when our daughter turns 1 we can go back and shoot some more.“

“Coming up on almost 20 years since we've worked with Todd. We could not have been more blessed. He shot our wedding and put together an album that we enjoy still. What an honor. I'd love to participate in some of the stuff he's doing these days overseas. I bet it's a trip of a lifetime.“

“I was back and forth on doing my own hair/makeup or hiring but I caved and hired Diep for my wedding. I was drawn towards her portfolio of Asian style make up since it was similar to how I do my own. Because I didn't book a trial, we were adjusting my makeup as we were going. She was very patient with me and was able to take feedback on what I knew wouldn't work will with my oily/watery eyes. My hair and makeup stayed in place all day and my bridesmaid looked beautiful. Diep made my morning stress free and we got several compliments (:“
