yuk's reviews

I have pictures that I can frame!!! And its all because of Thai.
Thai did our aftershoot (detail and portraits) and my husband and I are so happy with the results. We decided to do an aftershoot because our wedding photographer did not deliver the same results on the wedding day - a day you cannot redo.

Thai artistically captured every single image - from rings to portraits.

We really appreciate that Thai took our suggestions into consideration. For example, we wanted outdoor portraits that were natureish/modern so Thai went out driving that morning (before our session) to explore places that fit the look. While he did this, he noticed that gray clouds were moving in fast and called us to let us know that we would be heading into some rain and suggested that we move out the shoot due to weather. This is what we call an awesome photographer who cares about his client getting the pictures they want - not one who wanted to get the photoshoot done and over with unlike our original photographer. We ended up doing the shoot indoors - which Fairmont served as a fabulous backdrop.

Thai is the man to capture your beautiful day that will last a lifetime.
Thanks Thai!!

Imperial Productions was the best investment we had for our wedding! For their talent, their prices are very budget friendly :)

I was referred to them from a college friend of mine and he showed me their work - pretty artistic with a modern twist. I left Vinny a message and got a call back within 10 minutes and we had setup an appt the following week. Meeting went well and after that our communications were all via email.

I was able to see them in action 2 weeks prior to my wedding as a friend of mine used them as well. When I saw them do their thing at my friends wedding, my fiance and i (husband and wife now) got even more excited as we could not wait for them to capture our wedding.

Fast foward to our wedding day, they were great to work with. They came on time (8am) and they were like ninjas...as in they did not get in the way, i could not tell they were there maybe cause i was going 60 mph but they did not get in the way. They were also troopers as my wedding day was loooong - think asain wedding, its a full day. To my surprise, they offered to do a same day edit (so thankful!!!) for us which i must say was a crowd favorite at the reception - its a great way to show what happened during the day for those that were not able to see it...i watch it everyday since the wedding cause it makes me relive that moment (ladies - that day will be a blur, i did not believe it until it happened).

im waiting to see the final product as it has only been over a week since the wedding but overall, i totally recommend these guys (vinny, ivan, and mike). You will not regret it. If you want to see the same day edit that they created, shoot me an email.

giao did a fabulous job for my wedding - this included myself, mom, and bridesmaids.

i found giao on PW and was glad i did - finding a stylist/MUA that doesnt break the bank is really hard to find in the bay area. shes super sweet, gives great feedback, and honest.

my first trial with giao went well - i had my eyes set for a particular hair style that i found on her website...i liked it at the time but after reviewing the pictures, i felt that it aged me (and no girl wants to look older!)...so i went back for a second trial (piggy backed with a BM who was getting a trial with her) and giao suggested this other look that fit me better and you know what, i loved it even more...got soo many compliments on my hair!

on top of being a great stylist - she was also a lifesaver on the wedding day for a couple of reasons. first off, one of my BMs had a friend do her hair (which looked great when she had a trial) but didnt come out the same that day. so giao comes to the rescue and was able to squeeze her in the lineup to get her hair done as well. secondly, being asain you have a tea ceremony where my traditional outfit comes with a headpiece that you wear. unfortunately for me, combiniation of heat and headpiece, it squeeshed my hair where it looked like i sleeped with something on the top of my head. thank goodness giao was like 3 minutes from where i was and i was able to make a mad dash to her place to before her next appt came -- she was able to fix my hairdo (recurling and pinning) and it looked better than it did that morning (im sure its due to the products that was in there...you know how its better to style with "dirty" hair).

overall, i would definitely recommend giao to any brides/bridal party out there as she works wonders! i will be using her in an upcoming wedding that i will be in later this year. good luck ladies :)
