wakatina's reviews

My husband and I first came across Thai's work in December, 2008 when he did an e-session for one of our good friends. We were very impressed with his creativity and artistic talent and have been a fan of his work ever since. He has a blog which shows some amazing shots he has taken over the years. We first met him personally when he did our friend's wedding in August, 2009. He was so easy to work with and even made my husband comfortable enough to bring out a natural smile, which is a very hard task to do! When we saw some teasers of our friend's wedding, we were convinced that we had to have him as our wedding photographer. He was even the first vendor we booked, almost two whole years before our actual wedding...

And Thai did not disappoint. He was very flexible in working with our schedule to do our e-session. We were both going to school in Southern California at the time so we had a limited amount of time to fly up to do it. Also, Thai's lovely wife, Giao, did my hair and makeup and did a fabulous job! It was raining off and on during our e-session, but Thai worked with the elements like a pro. He had us use an umbrella as a prop which was a nice touch. We requested that Thai take some pictures at the location where my husband proposed as well as Stanford University because we had seen some of his work at that location. In between locations, we made a pit stop at my husband's house to change cars and Thai was inspired by a set of train tracks nearby. So on the way back out, he took us to take some shots on the tracks. He even laid down on the ground and on tracks to get awesome angles. The train tracks pictures turned out to be some of our favorites! It just shows what a talented artist Thai is as he came up with this on the fly. Overall, we were very pleased with the quality of the e-pics and couldn't wait for him to capture images on our wedding day.

Thai, his wife Giao, and Thai's assistant traveled down to Southern California to do our wedding which was great. Giao again did my hair and makeup and did a stunning job. Thai and his assistant arrived on time and were very efficient in taking a variety of shots such as getting ready, portraits, and detail shots. We had a couple of locations in mind of where to take pictures with our wedding party before the ceremony. Thai even scouted out the locations the day before the wedding which made the session fun very smoothly. Thai and his team were again very easy to work with and brought out my husband's natural smile again. They captured every important moment of the day and more and we will cherish those memories he captured forever. We were thrilled with the results and are SOOOO HAPPY with our decision to hire him over two years ago. We recommend Thai to anyone who is looking for a photographer who is professional, easy to work with, and has an amazing artistic eye for quality photos. Thanks for everything Thai!!!

My husband and I first met Jason at Visions Entertainment in November, 2009 at the recommendation of the coordinator at our wedding venue. We were very impressed with both DJ and lighting services he offered. We also liked that he was very interested in listening to what we wanted in terms of music and lighting. He was very committed to customizing our event, which is so important in a vendor.

Jason did an amazing job with both the ceremony and reception music as well as lighting decor. My husband had said he did not want the hotel ballroom we had reserved for the reception to look like a conference room. We were not disappointed as Jason skillfully transformed the room with colored LED lights, monogram gobo, and cake pin spot and set the mood for the entire evening. As for the ceremony, the songs were exactly what we wanted and the sound was clear and crisp despite there being a fountain behind the altar. As for the reception music and entertainment, we were so satisfied with everything! Jason did an amazing job as an MC and kept the event flowing smoothly in coordination with our awesome wedding coordinator Caroline. So many of our guests complimented us on the music and were very impressed with the dinnertime entertainment. Jason was great at providing witty comments as well as poking fun at the groom to keep guests smiling, laughing, and engaged. As for open dancing, Jason was able to get everyone dancing, young and old alike, at some point in the night. It was so cute seeing our little cousins on the dance floor with their parents and awesome to see some of our professors busting a move! The dance floor was also never empty from the start of open dancing til the end of the night, which says a lot. We highly recommend Visions Entertainment, Jason in particular, for DJ, MC, and lighting services. Thanks Jason for everything!!!
