Photographers in San Jose

“I have worked with Kerry twice now. I’ve had such great experiences with her during both newborn photo shoots I’ve done with her. She is so gentle and patient which was extremely comforting for me. I love the pictures she’s been able to capture of both my kids. It’s hard to find photographers that are good at what they do. I’m really glad I came across Kerry and have these memories I get to treasure forever.“

“If you’re looking for a photographer who really knows his craft, Toan at Toanvenphotography Studio is that guy.

Came through his studio by Branham & Almaden and instantly felt like I was in good hands. Super chill, calm, and professional — no ego, just pure passion for what he does. He’s insanely dialed in with angles, lighting, and composition. The way he sets up shots and makes small adjustments shows how much detail he pays attention to. Nothing feels rushed, everything feels intentional.

What really stands out is how comfortable he makes you feel in front of the camera. He gives clear direction without overdoing it, and somehow brings out your best look naturally. His eye for detail is next level — from posture to shadows to background, he doesn’t miss.

You can tell he’s someone who takes pride in his work and actually cares about delivering high-quality results, not just “getting the shot.” The final photos came out clean, sharp, and professional — honestly exceeded expectations.

If you want someone who’s skilled, patient, creative, and genuinely invested in making you look good, Toanvenphotography is it. Bay Area hidden gem for sure. Highly recommend. ??“

“Working with Carla has been a dream! She took much care to detail and made sure to confirm our vision for our wedding. She showed up early and was all set up and ready for the event. The photos she took are an absolute dream, with the perfect lighting and the perfect angles, with attention to detail in both posed and candid photos. She had many ideas for poses and they turned out beautiful. We are so lucky to have had Carla take photos at our wedding. So happy to be able to cherish these photos for the rest of our lives!“

“We did a basic maternity session at Redwood Grove Preserve in Los Altos, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and the final photos. She did an amazing job capturing such a special moment in our lives. Everything felt natural, relaxed, and thoughtfully guided. She was incredibly helpful in helping us choose our outfits and in selecting the location, which made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. The location was used beautifully, the lighting was perfect, and she made us feel completely comfortable throughout the session. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, timeless, and full of emotion. We are truly so happy with our photos and will cherish them forever. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for maternity photos that feel genuine, elegant, and meaningful.“

“We worked with Ying and Yang Studios for our wedding photography and are amazed with how lovely our pictures came out! We sincerely appreciate Vishnu and his team's work for putting so much effort to make our day special. Weddings can be stressful and it's so important to have good vendors on your side. Vishnu and his team were reliable, quick, organized and adaptable. We appreciate the team's passion and grit to get the job done. Highly Recommend!“

“Follows COVID protocols. Clicks great pictures and guarantees passport photos for accuracy.“

“I loved the way my 1 year old daughter's birthday shoot turned out! Vish turned my Pinterest dream inspo photo in a reality. I hope to have my daughter's 2nd birthday photoshoot done with him and would totally recommend him to friends and family. Thank you Vish!“

“The best photo and video company I ever met, very detail and well explained how they work, they gave me lots of ideas to make my event run as smooth as possible, things that I had no idea I need it to do. Tips that no other company shared with me. They make me feel very comfortable when posing. The professionalism and coordination on the day of the events is truly beyond excellence. This is no ordinary company you guys. I’ll warranty the quality of service they provide you won’t find it anywhere.“

“Tri Luu and his team were amazing during our backyard wedding shower. They had high attention to detail, taught us a lot of great tips on how to pose for photos, really professional and great with us and our guests, and delivered the pictures and films so quickly! Pictures delivered within 5 days! And videos shortly after, while the momentum of the event was still high. They were amazing photos and videos too. My cousin is still waiting on her wedding photos from a month prior, and was so impressed Tri and his team were able to deliver quality work in such a timely manner. Highly recommend! I hope to use them for all my events from here on out!“

“I recently hired Jen to take professional headshots and branding photos. She did an amazing job! Jen was organized, professional, and personable. She captured all the poses I asked for and many more! Jen's experience was evident in the quality of the photos and her creative ideas and flattering poses. Five stars!“

“Lien was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was kind and considerate, and really listened to what it was. I wanted for my wedding day. She was so laid-back and relaxed, she helped keep me chill on the big day. Her expertise and knowledge, along with all of her years in the industry, make her one of the most valuable assets a bride could have! I know if I have any other big events that require hair and makeup, I know who I would contact first. Thank you Lien!!!“

“Had such a great experience working with Eddie! I am the type of person who hates having my picture taken, but I immediately felt at ease. He was fun to hang out with and gave the proper time and attention to get the most out of every shot. Whenever I need updated headshots in the future, I will keep coming back here.“

“Sam, Sam, Sam! I wish I had the words to convey how much this lovely soul made an impact to me on my wedding day. From a sweet reassuring smile, to comforting words, to a lifetime of memories handed to us through the talent she holds behind her camera. Sam was a breath of fresh air from start to finish! I found myself a bit lost and didn't know where to begin with planning my layout & how I wanted my day to be portrayed.. but Sam not only reassured me constantly, but ultimately helped me schedule my day through her story telling she does within her photography timeline. Other than the amazing person you get when you sign on with sam, it's her true talent that makes her more captivating. I fell in love with Sam's work off a simple picture I came across online. I instantly fell down the rabbit hole of finding her page & obsessing over her photography. I disregarded the fact that I most likely know over 20 photographers, but I HAD TO HAVE Sam. Right then & there I knew she was my 'Dream Photographer' and the rest was history. I'm so in love with my photos, I instantly blew them up and am awaiting over 400 prints as I type. Sam gave me all the moody, dark, & detailed photos that I asked for! I hope I get another opportunity to work with this beautiful person again in the future!“

“Worked with Kyle for company headshots for our team. Kyle was easy to communicate with and was quick to respond to my emails and questions. The shoot was smooth and organized! Our guys felt comfortable in front of the camera with him and his positive energy. Photos turned out really amazing and we were all happy with them. Received the finished/ edited photos right away. Definitely will work with Kyle again!“
