Reviews for HyStudio
HyStudio produced absolutely amazing photos for my engagement session, wedding and day-after photo session. Hy is very talented and through his photos he is able to tell a story and capture raw emotion. Frank, the assistant photographer, has a great eye as well. I had tons of fun working with the both of them. Annie, who handles customer service, is extremely helpful and very responsive over email. She was also great to work with. I highly recommend booking HyStudio!!! They were my favorite vendor to work with.
I really love all the people at Hy Studio - Frank, Annie & Hy are great to work with and the photos are amazing. We did E-pics with frank and were blown away. On the wedding day Frank had to leave early so Hy came along for the day to shoot with him and cover after he left. So, we ended up getting 2 photographers for the price of 1. Woohoo! I feel so lucky. I can’t wait to see the wedding pics...in fact, im chomping at the bit for them.
HyStudio was such a pleasure and joy to work with! The entire team worked to create the most beautiful images for our engagment shoot, wedding, and day-after session. Annie is super helpful and responsive to emails, both her and I shared many a late night email sessions. I loved that they worked so hard to capture the images and made them super edgy, but classy. Hiring HyStudio was one of our BEST decisions we made in our wedding planning process. I highly recommend them!!!
Hy took our engagement photos and they were absolutely amazing! He is extremely patient and even worked overtime to get some of our favorite shots. His style is modern and he also knows how to make you look good! His price was also very reasonable. His wife Annie is also very helpful. Annie answered all of our questions. They also got the pictures too us really quickly.
We have been a big fan of HyStudio long before the wedding. Hy's style and aesthetic tastes were exactly what we were hoping for in our wedding photographer. And we weren't disappointed one bit! It's pretty amazing how Hy was able to capture the wedding so beautifully. Both Hy and Annie were very professional and wonderful to work with, from the planning stage of the wedding to the delivery. The hardest part of working with them was trying to choose which photos to put on album from so many great shots :-) I cannot recommend HyStudio enough.
To bride-to-be out there:
Hystudio is your best choice! Hy is a true artist who can make your special day truly magical. The engagement and wedding pictures captured our true spirit with such liveliness and great depth. Annie and Hy are great to work with and very accomdating to special requests :) His work is the kind that lasts for decades. Make sure you book early!
Hystudio is awesome!!!!! Annie is really helpful, she even recommended us what to wear for the engagement session would look the best :D And she does a great job at editing/fixing the color of the pics!! Hy is so professional and I was so surprised to see him show up at my door an hour before the ceremony started! And Hy is so quiet when he worked around me, I didn't even notice him most of the time. And he captured so many moments that I don't even remember on the wedding day :D And all my friends love his style.
I highly recommend Hystudio to all my friends and relatives :D
The staff of Hy Studio made a major part of my wedding headache-free and enjoyable! If only all our vendors were so professional. They are always responsive and available to answer any questions we had, and very helpful in giving advice and helping the planning process. And of course, Hy and Frank are also great photographers who have plenty of technical and artistic skills. We felt so comfortable posing for their shots.
Their eye for composing shots are creative, tasteful, and classy. I've seen many photographers' portfolios (some of them were not-so-good), and I feel great knowing that we got one of the best out there. My husband and I will have beautiful pictures to look at for the rest of our lives, thanks to HyStudio. I highly recommend them!
Hystudio was one of my best wedding vendors. I booked Hy in August 2006 for my June 2007 wedding. From start to finish, Hy and Annie have been very professional, thoughtful, and prompt. Hy and Frank did a wonderful job with our engagement and wedding photographs. Hy's style is subtle and artistic which is exactly what my husband and I were looking for when we researched wedding photographers. I had a huge reception and two ceremonies and the whole time Hy and Frank were so patient and Hy was always there to remind me to smile and RELAX. :)
I definitely recommend Hystudio for your wedding photography needs. You will not be disappointed!
HyStudio is awesome! Hy's style is natural and artistic, our photos truly reflect who we are as a couple. All my friends who saw our pictures were amazed by them. It is also great to work with the team! I really recommend HyStudio for wedding photo.
It was a pleasure working with Hy and his wife Annie. Hy has a natural style and his creative vision captured who James and I are as a couple. Through his pictures, we are able to relive our wedding day happily with our family and friends. HyStudio was recommended by a good friend of ours and was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process.
Produces beautiful photographs and easy to work with.
One of the best photographers in the Bay Area

These days, there are so many wedding related reality TV show. If you go to TLC’s web site, there’s “Say Yes to The Dress”, “Masters of Reception”, Jun Lee Fete Events’ “Wedding to Perfection”. I’ve been trying to control myself for not getting sucked into those shows, but if I turned on TV and one of those is on, then it would take significant amount of will power to switch the channel or turn off the TV.
Hy and I have been in the wedding industry for close to 5 years now. We started HyStudio while we are preparing for our own wedding. And now, Hy and I are going to step into parenthood, another stage of life. Yet, I am still madly in love w/ weddings. For each HyStudio wedding, I would spend days looking and re-looking through each photos. They just make me happy.
Janet looked stunning in her Lazaro gown. In Janet and Jason’s wedding portrait shots, the gown was show-cased much better. I love the detailing of the gown. I wore a Lazaro wedding gown when I got married as well. There are so many great photos from Janet and Jason’s wedding. I have a hard time choosing what to show you girls.


















Congratulations Janet & Jason!

If I am still here tomorrow

This week, I’ve been ending my sentence w/ this sub-phrase a lot at work.
Since I got out of college, due to my visa situation, it’s always one job after another. I never take more than 1 week break in between job. And within a company, I never took a break from work for more than 2 weeks of vacation. In each of the company I work for, when I leave the company to a new job, I always get a boat load of vacation cash.
So, this concept of 2 months leave from work is so new to me. I scheduled the leave 5 days before my due day. But since it’s not up to me when my boy would decide to come out, everyday now, I am wondering, would today be the day? In my morning shower or on my way drive to work, I started to think about, ah..i better tell this person more about this situation, ah.. i need to write an email to the team on a list of action items to resolve this issue. There seems to be a lot of ‘last words’ I would like to remind people around me regarding what would I do so they can continue to execute when I am not around.
But deep in my mind, I do know, folks will be fine without me
They don’t need my last words. And I am probably more annoying than helping at this point.
To extend the concept further, last words.. last actions .. what if today’s last day I have, not at work, but on this earth. What would be my last words? Now, in that picture,.. all work stuff fade away. There’s really just one person fits in that frame (hm.. soon probably will be two), and there’s really 3 short words I have in my mind.

37 weeks

I haven’t felt so relaxed for a long time.
Since beginning of my pregnancy, there are so much discomfort and uncertainty. Work has always been more demanding than ever. Due to the economy, the weather in the Internet industry has been changing all the time this year. First trimester, I was trying to keep things low key w/o folks around me noticing. Eating healthy snacks through the day (I usually don’t have time to snack at work), sleep long hours, yet work 7 days a week so I can cover my normal long hours and yet, get enough sleep so I don’t appear sick at work. Second trimester, unlike most woman experiencing a break in the middle, my boy moved a lot since he’s really small and gave me a lot of discomfort. But at least, I was able to talk to folks at work about the baby and start training my replacements for my 2 months maternity leave. I spent most of my third trimester racing with time. I personally know 5 pregnant ladies who supposed to give birth month between month of Oct and Nov, 3 delivered 4-5 weeks early in this month! I worked long hours for many weeks so I can get stuff all planned before I leave them to my colleagues.
Finally, I am at ease now. I got what I wanted to finish today!
I finally have some time for myself and my baby. I feel if my baby comes tonight, I am ready to give my thoughts and my mind to him. And hopefully, starting today, I get to start blogging again more regularly until the delivery date.
This morning, I got the weekly email from the hospital w/ tips and information regarding what to expect on the 37th week of pregnancy. And I just realize, hey, my boy is now full term! He can really just come out anytime now. The last piece of our nursery furniture got delivered this morning. I’ve waited for 2 months for it to delivery, but it’s totally worth the wait. If you are looking for a nursery chair, Pottery Barn Kid’s Eco Glider is really the most comfortable chair out there. Hy bought and picked up a baby-safe & friendly car this afternoon. Both of our car are 2 doors. Now we have a 4 doors car that fits family life.
There are still small items shipping to our home. But, we are ready ~!
