Reviews for Herman Au Photography




My fiancé and I are ecstatic to have Herman as our photographer for our
wedding. We haven't had the chance to work with him, so more reviews will
come when we have our engagement session and wedding. But for now, I would
like to acknowledge Herman for his professionalism and amicable
personality. We hit it off with Herman right away and we can’t wait for our
photo shoot to start. He made us feel comfortable and was open to our
ideas/suggestions.
He's definitely attentive and accommodating. On top of that, he's
willing to work with the couple's budget! He understands that weddings can be
costly, so he will customize a package to fit your needs. Perhaps the
most admirable characteristic about Herman is that he takes pride in his
work and is genuinely concerned that his clients are both happy and
satisfied with their photos. From speaking to him personally and reviewing
his portfolio, I am certain that he will put forth his best effort when it
comes to our engagement/wedding photos. Needless to say, Herman would
definitely be someone I would refer my friends to =).
UPDATE (4-27-2010):
This review will be based on my engagement session with Herman. And two words describes my experience with him, AMAZING and FUN! My fiance and I are not very photogenic people, and we're not naturals when it comes to posing for photos. So we were really quite afraid that our photos will come out stiff and awkward. However, to our happy surprise, it was the total opposite. I think a tip all brides should consider when choosing a photographer, is to make sure the photographer makes you the couple feel comfortable. And for us, Herman did. He was intuitive and attentive to our needs. Herman made us feel so comfortable, that it was really easy to be our silly selves around him. Which was great because he was able to capture those candid moments and the chemistry we have together, which we wanted. And not expecting to see the edit proofs of our e-session until like 2-3 weeks later, Herman was so swift that he emailed our e-proofs in like 3 days. We were so ecstatic to see our photos, and we were so delighted and amazed at how awesome the photos came out. Not only did we have an amazing and fun time during our photo session, but our photos were astounding. I definitely recommend all future-to-be married couples to take engagement photos, because its a great way to test how well you would work with your photographer for your wedding day, and a great fun way to reflect on you as a couple. And if you want a photographer that can fulfill all the criteria mentioned above (a fun photo session with great and awesome photos), than Herman Au would be your guy.




I had a friend show me the work this man does...WoW! He is amazing at creating moments and capturing moments.




Herman was everything we could have asked for in a photographer and so much more. We just want to express how happy we are with the entire experience. It was not uncommon for him to go beyond our expectations. He took the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly and promptly (and that might be an understatement). After the wedding many of our friends and family commented to us on their positive experience with Herman and we can't help but agree! His professionalism and friendliness was unwavering, even through all the chaos he showed great patience and care.
If it sounds like we are gushing, it's because we are! He really is that great and we know we made the right choice. For all the couples out there looking for a photographer we highly recommend him!




Herman is by far, the most talented, friendly, and calm photographer! He captured our wedding day perfectly. After viewing our engagement and wedding photos, our friends and families all wanted to know how to get in contact with him for future occasions. Herman was also very helpful throughout our wedding planning-offering suggestions and being readily available to answer all our questions. He treated us with the utmost respect and not just as a client. He was very easy to work with. You could see a glimpse of his work on his website. We guarantee that you won't be disappointed. We recommend him to everyone! Thanks Herman! =o)




Herman had the ability to catch each and every moment without us ever even knowing it. When we got our pictures back we were absolutely blown away. We loved every single shot. His attention to detail and his intimate photojournalist style were exactly what we were looking for in a wedding photographer.

As a wedding film specialist, I’ve had the chance to work alongside hundreds of photographers and seen quite a few of their portfolios, and Herman Au’s photography is astoundingly unique among them. In his images, he is equally adept at capturing people’s feelings as well as the look of the venues, details, and style...often within a single photograph. What continues to grab my attention in Herman’s work is how he finds such fresh approaches to capturing the day’s moments. He sees beyond the people he’s shooting, and in my opinion maximizes his use of the surrounding space/environment.
Perhaps most importantly, Herman has the ability to put couples at ease as they enjoy their day. His manner and appearance is as professional as his camera-work and I highly recommend him.




Herman,
Thank you for our beautiful engagement pictures. It's wonderful to feel like a million bucks looking at the moments you've captured for us. Our families and friends love the pictures and keep asking for your card. I'm so glad we booked you. I admire your professionalism, creativity, patience, open mind, and of course....all the extra time you put into editing my crow's feet and blemishes. Haha. We can't wait to see more of your work once our wedding comes around.
L & H =)

*****UPDATE*****
Herman continued to deliver beautiful detailed and priceless pictures at our recent wedding, just like he did with our e-session last fall. We got to see our proofs within a short time too, which was great to share with our families and friends. I can't emphasize how wonderfully professional, caring and patient, Herman and his assistant, Shirley, are. They arrived early in the morning at the hotel and were the last vendor to leave when the reception ended. It was a super long day, 15 hours to be exact, with a few inches of rain and strong winds, but Herman and Shirley never complained and were always smiling and cheerful, despite probably on the verge of getting sick. We really appreciated that he also gave us tips with our wedding preparation as it came closer and were always looking out for our best interest. I guarantee that all the fiancees looking for a wedding photographer will be very happy and at ease to book Herman for their event. =)




I don't usually write reviews, but Herman is just so awesome that I must let everyone know how great of a photographer his is. First of all, for our engagement shoot, he and his wife Shirley spent an extra day to scope out locations for our engagement shoot in the Santa Ynez Valley. My husband and I felt that they went above and beyond to make our pictures special. The results truely showed how great the locations were, as well as his ability to capture everything that represents us and our style. For our wedding, they also went above and beyond throughout the day. Working in the hot summer heat, Herman never skipped a beat and was always there to capture every special moment. You can see from the photos that he can take an artistic point of view without compromising the essence of the emotions in a particular moment. A big THANKS to Herman for all your hard work in capturing our special day.




Herman and his wife Shirley did an amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos. They are both talented, professional, detail oriented, personable and patient. Our pictures, wedding album, and parent albums look amazing and went far beyond our expectation. Herman's attention to detail and his artistic perspective on photography are what attracted us to his work in the first place. I highly recommend him to couples and anyone who wishes to capture life's special moments. Herman and Shirley will not disappoint you.

Photography is the very first thing I booked for our wedding. I started researching photographers even before I got engaged. After browsing through countless websites/blogs of many of the well known photographers I came across Herman's site and fell absolutely in love with his style of work. Like many of the reviewers have mentioned, photographs from one of the most important days of your lives will last forever, so this is something everyone should really splurge on! You can cut everywhere else, but to me, finding the right person to capture these precious moments is not something you want to skim on.It was easy to fall in love with his photography, it was even easier to fall in love with the person once you meet Herman. He is easy going, very attentive, and eager to learn about you as a couple. He doesn't do any cookie cutter poses and urges you to be yourselves and is able to capture all the right moments. Our engagement session was fun and casual, nothing too overwhelmingly pretentious. Although I was feeling awkward when we first started, Herman was very patient with me and worked his magic behind the camera. The photos came out beautiful! We couldn't have asked for a better session! Herman is one busy guy, but he is always quick to respond to emails/text/chat. Even if he doesn't respond right away, give him a couple of days, he will get back to you and answer all the questions and concerns! Our wedding was just this past Saturday (12/17/11), and some of our photos are already up on Herman's blog earlier this afternoon!!!!!! We feel so blessed to have the honor to be featured in his blog. The photos are to die for! Every single one that he posted on the blog tugged @ my heart. He captured all the right emotions and moments that every couple could dream of. I can't wait to see the rest of them!

I absolutely adore Herman Au photography! Herman did our engagement and wedding pictures and we are so thrilled that we hired him!!!! Photography is high on our list - after a year+ of planning, all the hard work and efforts, we felt that wedding pictures are so important,...it is our keepsakes for the big day. From the get go, Herman is already very accomadating, easy to work with! He traveled to Napa for our engagement pictures. I must admit that we are not the best models in front of a camera, Herman was so patient in coaching us and our engagement pictures turned out amazing! Our wedding day went by like a blizz, I can only remembr bits and pieces of it. We have looked at a sneak peek of our wedding photos and it felt like we were re-living the entire day through Herman's work of art! He captured EVERY single moments and details of our wedding, it INSTANTLY brings us to tears.....tears of joy that is!Aside from his artistic talent, Herman is just very easy to work with and make us feel very at ease. We didn't need to worry about him showing up late, cuz he is always early every time we meet. We didn't need to worry about must-do shots (like my friends have suggested me to come up with a list), cuz Herman is such an experienced photographer, his "must-do" list has already covered everything we thought of and poses/moments we didn't think of. He is always proactive in following up - like picking our pictures for canvas printing as we kept procrasinating in picking the pictures.He is patient and takes time to know us, listen to what we want, what we don't like, and make sure our wedding day is captured in still-frames just the way we want it, in every moments we could ever imagine or wish for! Even though we are probably one of the handful of couples he shoot that month, he certainly make sure we feel that we are THE ONLY one. He wants to make sure that our wedding is unique to us, and that the pictures reflect it! I love his work, I love the way he works...we are so thankful to have Herman as our photographer, we cannot imagine using anyone else!

My fiancee thought we should get the best possible photographer for our wedding. I got worried since I was was paying for it, but then she pointed out that the photographs and video are the only part of our wedding that we actually get to keep forever. So we juggled our budget a little and decided that we were going to get the best photographer we could find.Then we found Herman. Herman is well beyond anything we could have imagined for a wedding photographer! We knew immediately from the photos on his site/blog that we wanted him to be our photographer.Our initial consulation was great, but it was during our engagement session that we really got to know Herman. We spent a fun afternoon travelling around LA trying to find the perfect spots for our shots. Herman really went out of his way to make these *our* photos, and to find locations that really fit us. We love candy, so we went to a candy store! I'm betting any other photographer would have taken us to his spot and told us what to do, but Herman took the time to really get to know us!It says here that Herman serves Southern California but poking around on his blog you'll find that he travels all over the US for weddings and it's easy to see why. He came to Santa Barbara for our big day, which is quite the drive from Arcadia! Not only that, but he was there from the time the bride started her make-up to the time the reception ended! And he and his assistant captured every moment!We weren't initially interested in a videographer, but we changed our mind at the last minute and Herman's crew did an amazing job! So far we've only seen our "teaser", but it's beautifully shot and edited to match one of our favorite songs. They must have asked the DJ for our playlist - just another example of how they really put in the extra details!Herman is definitely the best in the business!

Herman Au Photography is absolutely amazing. Herman is such a talented photographer and has such a beautiful personality. Herman was such a delight to work with and I will surely recommend him to all my friends and family. I fell in love with his work just by browsing his photos on his blog/website. My husband and I live in Tucson, AZ but wanted to have our wedding in our California, my home state. Herman accommodated us so well, knowing that we only had a weekend to meet with vendors. We didn't have the luxury of time and distance to fully research our vendors, but when we met Herman, it was "love at first sight." I fell in love with his work ethic, character, humor, kind demeanor and of course, his beautiful work! He provided us with samples of his work in his office, and we absolutely adored his canvas print. Go meet him at his office and you will see what I am talking about. :)We LOVED, LOVED, LOVED our engagement shoot. We had such a blast and the pictures turned out so beautifully and gorgeous! We are so happy with Herman as our photographer.Also, he always responds to your emails, calls and requests. We planned our wedding without a professional coordinator, so I did all the communicating with Herman. He always responds so promptly and answers all the questions so thoroughly, and is super friendly. I never once worried about our vendor relationship with Herman. And, he was AMAZING at our wedding! We asked for a same-day edit slideshow to play during our reception, and it was a hit with us and all the guests. Everything Herman does is amazing. We had a wonderful time with Herman and his team members at our wedding. I can't wait to relive our day through our photos. Our guests also complimented on the talent of Herman. We are so, so pleased with having Herman as our photographer. You have to feel comfortable with your photographer, and we surely did. I felt like we hired a friend to take our photos. :) Herman, you are the BEST!




Herman did an awesome job capturing everything that was happening during our wedding. Everytime we look at the pictures, it was almost like watching a video replay of the event. Not only were the pictures beautifully taken, each emotionally charged picture tells a story. As the groom I didn't get to see (or remember) every little detail that happened that day. Herman made it possible. You would think that with all the friends and family members taking so many pictures on that day, nothing would've been missed. When we got Herman's pictures, we were amazed.
Herman posts enough of his work on his blog. Go see for yourself. :)

Herman was our photographer for our wedding day. He was very easy to work with and gave us lots of tips on how to look our best while we posed for pre-ceremony photos. He put the entire wedding party at ease and the whole day just flow. I was very glad we hired him. Communication wise, he was always very responsive to our emails and we never had a problem trying to follow up with him and asking him any questions. He took care of capturing all the necessary details of our wedding ceremony and reception and we were very happy to have him as our photographer. I highly recommend him.

First off - My hubbie and I had decided since the first month of our engagement that photography is the most important thing to us on wedding day. We imagined that pictures will capture and remind us the day after the wedding as well as 50, 60 or more years down the road what our relationship, our wedding day, and the laughter and emotions of everyone on that day look like. These are things that we want look back and smile at.Herman - We love working with Herman! He was able to quickly grasp the essence of our personalities (and our goofiness) during the engagement session. He quickly understood our inside jokes, weather he wanted to or not ^_~, and created new ones with us throughout the E-session. His assistant, Henry, and him were exceptional on our wedding day! They were professional, creative and super sweet! Herman helped put together our wedding slide show, which took a big load off our shoulders during crunch time. He also surprised us with a slide show of photos from the engagement session from two days prior! Both the slide show and e-session slide shows (and song choices) expressed our personalities and our relationship perfectly w/o much instructions or song preferences from us. Herman is so easy and such a pleasure to work with. With a sneak peak of some of the pictures from wedding day in a slide show, we can't wait to see the rest of the day's photos. Herman has an awesome way & eyes for capturing personal & emotional moments throughout the day that one would likely have missed as a bride or a groom. If photos are important to you and your love one, then we'd recommend going with Herman! And – Herman is bilingual. This was a plus for us since the first language on my side of the family is Cantonese. This helped my family member feel much more at ease, purely a cherry on top of a wedding cupcake! :DDetails - Herman’s studio is based out of Arcadia in CA and is very convenient to get to. He’s flexible (he worked with our out-of-town & busy schedules as well as his own), and is willing to travel for wedding (and E-session) shoots. He’s super professional (and fun!) and works very well with other vendors to make sure your special day goes smoothly. We'd give him a 6 out of 5 for flexibility if we could!




Last year my husband and I decided to elope on the beach in Malibu. Since we live in Vegas I put an ad on craigslist looking for a photographer. Within 30 minutes I had over 200 responses and quickly took the ad down. I went through all 200 emails and narrowed it down to 3, even though Hermans stood out the most, I sent the links to my fiance and told him to choose ( hopeing he would like Herman best too) and he did! His work stood out as FAR best among the over 200+ responses. We hired Herman and later found out that he RARELY goes on Craigslist and it was a fluke he responded to my ad. Im so glad he did!
It was a simple wedding, just me, my groom, and an officiant ( Loreli Starbuck www.sacredaffairs.com- AMAZING) Herman came to our hotel room in Santa Monica with his friendly wife, and 2nd shooter, Shirley. They took a few pictures there and then followed me across to the Santa Monica pier where my groom was anxiously awaiting. Herman and Shirley captured such amazing and special moments of him seeing me for the first time in my dress. With 2 angles they got every expression and happy moment. We then go in our cars and went to Malibu for the ceremony. Again- 2 angles capturing every moment. Then after the ceremony we did about an hour long photo session. Herman has such great ideas on posing, locations, and just capturing natural moments as well. When we got the pictures back after our secret wedding we cried the whole time looking at them because they were so amazing. They captured feelings and emotions while showcasing a beautiful backdrop of the Malibu beach. They were just amazing. Its because of his amazing pictures and our anxiousness to show them to people that we decided to tell most of our friends and family about the secret wedding because we could not keep these pictures a secret.
One year later, we had our HUGE wedding for family and friends in Tucson, AZ. After checking out websites and prices of a few local photographers, I decided I could not imagine our day without Herman and Shirley there to capture it so I flew them in from California to spend our wedding weekend with us. Even with the cost of the flight and hotel room, They were more than affordable and even competitive with local photographers prices. For the time they give us and as hard as they work running around capturing every detail. They are well worth the cost! They are a friendly couple and work really hard to capture your special day. The pictures are so amazing from this wedding too and we cant wait to see our professional coffee table book he is putting together for us. Everyone enjoyed their company as well as their professional ways going around and about at our ceremony and reception. The pictures are just stunning. The way he captures lighting, backdrops and most importantly moments of the evening. Any time I turned around he was snapping away over my shoulder, and there to take pictures of every little moment! Herman is not an average wedding photographer. His photo journalistic style makes each and every picture look like it could be in a magazine. He does not focus on boring posed shots, he captures precious moments, laughter, exchanged looks, angles, ect in such a beautiful and unique way. I recommended Herman Au to anyone who asks no matter where they are located. I already have 1 friend in Vegas, and a bridesmaid from my wedding in Tucson planning on flying him out for their weddings too!
You will no be disappointed with Herman Au!!

Herman Au Photography is the BEST! I am so satisfied in the way my wedding photos turned out, they are so beautiful! Herman Au was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end of the wedding process. My wedding coordinator even gave him kudos since she had to work with him from time to time. He is professional, creative, understanding, and flexible in regards to how hectic a wedding day can be. I am so thankful that I can look back at my beautiful wedding photos 40 years from now and remember exactly how my wedding day felt. Herman Au was able to capture every single magical moment on my wedding day. I absolutely love his peek preview that he posts immediately after the wedding day to describe how the day went.. I was able to use this link to share with friends and family that couldn't make it to my wedding.I was very lucky to have Herman Au as my photographer! He does awesome work!

Herman Au Photography was one of the best decisions I made when it came to wedding planning. Reasons:-He is very communicative and will listen to you. He also responds very promptly, which is something I appreciate.-His prices are very reasonable, and you get quality and quantity beyond what you pay for.-His portfolio doesn't just contain pretty images, his body of work shows great emotion and range. His work fit the aesthetic that my husband and I were looking for.-He makes you feel comfortable and at ease when you're in front of the camera. He's also very unobtrusive. He took so many fantastic candid shots at our wedding without getting in anyone's way. (I've been to weddings where the photogs felt like paparazzi!)-I love his albums. (FYI- if you get married in the fall and want your albums by xmas, make sure you follow up with Herman so you don't miss any deadlines. Herman went above and beyond to make sure we received our albums so we could gift them to our parents during the holidays.)-He is very patient and will work with you to get the shots that you want. Herman is very accommodating and flexible.-Did I mention that he is patient? :)Wedding photographers are a dime a dozen, so I highly recommend you do your research carefully. If you're looking for the qualities that I listed above, Herman's the best vendor for you!




Herman was a fantastic photographer. My husband and I could not be happier with our wedding photographs. He and his wife unobtrusively took hundreds of shots of our reception without us even knowing. The angle, lighting, and framing he picked for each shot created many perfect photographs. Many of which were shot from creative angles. He also snapped quite a few candid, photojournalistic-style shots that captured beautiful moments in our wedding. His processing time was also very fast. We had over 250 digital proofs accessible to us in less than ten days after our wedding. We couldn’t be happier to recommend him to other engaged couples.




Where to begin?? Herman was hands-down the best investment/vendor we had the pleasure of working with for our wedding. He was referred to me by a friend who knew that my {now} hubby and I were looking for someone who would be able to work with our budget and yet, at the same time, not compromise on quality. We were not disappointed. In addition to being very talented and blessed with an uncanny ability to capture those fleeting, heartfelt moments, Herman is extremely nice and easy-going. Actually, both Herman and Shirley were wonderful to work with. I already knew to expect phenomenal pictures after seeing our engagement session photos, but what was great about their style, is that they truly are unobtrusive. On our wedding day, my hubby and I were simply able to be ourselves, and this essence was captured in all of Herman’s photos. And I also have to add, I don’t think I’m photogenic in the least, but Herman made me look radiant in all the images. I don’t know enough about photography to comment on all the nuances of what makes Herman’s photos truly unique; I think having a good eye, the composition and color saturation all have something to do with it. But, what I do know for sure is that we absolutely loved the end result, and these are images we’ll happily be looking at for the rest of our lives…
I would highly recommend Herman to anyone, and I’m extremely thankful we found him.

Herman was super awesome to work with. :] We did an e-shoot with him and it was very enjoyable even though we're not the most natural people in front of a camera. He was flexible, tried to help us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and captured, I mean worked with our dorkiness. He was a pleasure to work with, and hang out with. The pictures came out beautiful. Colorful, clean, crisp, and made us look good -- which is no easy task. ;] His work seems to get better and better, so we definitely recommend him for e-shoots, and we're pretty sure he can shoot a mean wedding as well.
GUEST




Herman and Andy arrived at my house on time early in the morning and didn't stop working until the last glass of champagne was drunk! They were hard working, polite and unobtrusive.But more importantly, they did an AMAZING job documenting the events of the day. Herman's true talent is in capturing candid and honest images that depicted our emotions. His work is artistic and beautiful. I have received so many complements on our photographs. People say that they look like they come straight from a magazine shoot!Herman, with his easy-going personality, has been a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive and worked quickly to complete our engagement shoot album, often times responding to our emails within hours. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera when we were posing and caught some great shots without us even knowing he was there.
GUEST




Herman Au did an amazing job at our engagement and wedding photos! We printed out our engagement photos for our reception and got a lot of compliments at our wedding day. We loved to work with him because he's a true professional. He's always on time and true to his work. I think he not only has a good eye for the perfect moment but also has a way to bring out our unique personality to the pictures. Thank you Herman for your patience and effort to make our wedding a fabulous and memorable experience!




Herman was just AMAZING! I was speechless when I saw my wedding photos. Some aspects of our wedding were challenging for any photographer to work with and he went above and beyond my expectations. I am so thankful that we chose Herman.
Everything about him was flawless. He was unobtrusive and was very easy to work with. His communication and easy-going personality put me at ease. Seriously, why choose anyone else?!




Hello. We first met Herman @ my friends wedding. We were impressed @ his work and how professional he was. So when it was our time to get married we had no doubt in our mind we wanted to use Herman Au Photography. Anything we asked him if it was email or phone he always responded quickly and kindly. He would take shots as if he really enjoys it and cares about his work. He was on time ready to shot on a hot sunny day. If anyone asked would I change my photographer, I would say never and would love to use him again! Thanks again Herman Au Photography.




Herman was such a blast to work with. We were so comfortable with him that we sometimes forgot he was there. I hate taking pictures and am not photogenic in the slightest... and I told my husband that if we could just find 15 to 20 pictures from our engagement photos that we would like, i'd be so happy. Well, we ended up loving almost all of our engagement photos.
He was flexible to work with and we had loads of compliments from friends and family.
GUEST




Herman is a creative and responsible photographer. He is also flexible and understanding. Our wedding was on Christmas day and we made a last minute change asking him to come earlier and stay later. He was willing to accommodate this last minute request! We are both amazed by the fact that he would thought of going to our backyard and used leaves to make our wedding bands look awesome.:-)Oh, he is super friendly, too!




First of all - many thanks to Herman for the great pictures you took on my wedding day. I know that I was not able to provide you with a great look that day due to my sickness during the time. I guess it gave you a challenge, as my wedding photographer. However, Herman was professional and pleasant to work with. We did not need to pose for him to take pictures, and it just happened naturally. The pictures that you captured on our big day are awesome. They capture and represent one of the most important day of our lives. Thanks - I would definitely recommend you to my friends or others.
Thanks,
M & H




Herman has a great artistic eye for shots - he was very meticulous in his work. Both our engagement shots and wedding photos turned out beautifully. Herman Au Photograpy displayed professionalism, care, friendliness, flexibility, and a high quality of work. We were pleased with our package that included our engagement photos, our wedding day photos, and a wedding album. Their packages have a range in prices to meet every couple's needs. They are definitely photographers that you should have for your special moments in your life.
GUEST




Herman was professional and competent in every area possible. Not only did he give us the greatest gift possible by capturing our wedding beautifully, but he also became our friend through the experience. We had no negative experience and will continue to use his services in the future, as well as recommending him to all of our family and friends. You will not be sorry for hiring Mr. Herman Au. He is exceptional and worth every penny. He actually deserves more than he charges, yet he helps out by being affordable.
GUEST




It was a pleasant experience working with Mr. Herman Au. He spent nearly 12 hours with us on our wedding day with non-stop photo taking and communicating with friends and us to ensure his work was done perfectly in a timely manner. He arrived much earlier before the scheduled time and started taking preparation photos before the groom and the bride were ready. He was extremely patient and respectful to everyone at the party, though there were moments of chaotic throughout the day. I highly recommend Mr. Herman Au to anyone who is seeking a professional photographer with limited budget. He's flexibility both with scheduling and pricing will make your planning so much easier. HE IS GOOD!!!
My fiance and I booked Herman for an engagement shoot in March 2009. Words cannot fully describe what an amazing job he did! Both my fiance and I were blown away when we saw the results. He was able to capture all of the best moments of the day beautifully. In addition, Herman's photo editing/post-processing skills are excellent.
It was a breeze to work with Herman! He is upbeat, very nice, accommodating, talented, patient, and also a good leader. He was able to instruct us on several poses during the shoot, which was very helpful. On the administrative end, Herman is very attentive. He returns emails quickly and the turnaround time on our photos was short. We have already gotten so many compliments on our pictures!! We will definitely be displaying our engagement pics at our wedding. Thanks, Herman!

Herman is such a fantastic photographer to work with. I've done many weddings with him and his work always gets better and better. His clients are always pleased by his outgoing and caring personality. Moreover, he does a great job with accommodating everyone's needs and ensuring that they are comfortable under the lens. With the utmost passion I can honestly recommend Herman in a heart beat knowing that everyone will be satisfied with his commitment to his clients.
Herman did an excellent job for us at the Baksh Wedding in San Dimas. We have yet to see his finished work, but we know that he has the skill of a masterful photographer.
