Sunday December 2007 ~ Sarah & James' Engagement
Sarah and James, our couple from San Francisco State.
Sarah had such a bright and lovely smile. Throughout the entire photo session, it was hard to find her not smiling and having a good time.
James, who has an interest in photography, loves black and white.
On our way to the busy San Jose downtown for some beautiful sceneries.
We stopped in front of the always interesting Tech Museum.
On this cold December day, our couple shared a warm kiss.
Until next July!
"Trusting that you're marrying the right man is one thing... trusting that you've hired the right photographer is another. Luckily I'm two for two!! Tony put our minds at ease from our first meeting all the way until the end of our wedding night. Our wedding was full of beautiful details that we won't have to forget, thanks to the multitude of photographs taken at our event. Each photograph capturing another part of our story. Each photograph creating an artistic expression. We would have been happy just having fantastic photos, but Tony brings more. Tony, thank for your professionalism, calming personality, and ability to adapt to the needs of your clients. You have a talent that we are excited to share with our loved ones! THANKS!" ~ Sarah & Todd
"We couldn't have had a more fabulous photographer. We interviewed several when we got engaged and just didn't quite get the feeling we wanted with any of them. Then when we met Tony, we knew we had found the right fit. And finding our dream photographer was of highest priority, and with Tony we didn't have to give up anything that we were hoping for. Tony was warm, professional, fun and always got right back to us when we contacted him. During the wedding it was like we didn't even know he was there...but he got every shot we wanted. The only problem now is...too many beautiful photos to choose from! We recommend him in the highest regards." ~ Stephania & Roger
"I'm speechless... Scott and I are absolutely amazed by how our pictures turned out!! They are amazing!! The whole wedding process was stressful at times. There were a lot of choices to be made and a lot of asking ourselves "are we sure we want that? or should be change it to this?". However Scott and I never doubted our choice for a photographer. From the moment we met with you, your professionalism was outstanding. You have shown it over and over again....from our engagement session in Oct 07 to our wedding reception in Sept 08. You took in what we liked and what we hoped for in our wedding pictures and you made it a reality. We can't thank you enough for everything!!" ~ Teresa & Scott
"I just want to say and let everyone know that I could not have asked for a better photographer. I am so picky about how my photos are taken and afraid I won't like them, but you listened to everything that I was worried about and made all my photos so perfect. They came out better than I ever could have imagined. Your service was amazing. You're very professional and made our wedding day fun and exciting. Words can't describe how great you really are. You can only experience it like we did to really know. I looked for a long time for the perfect photographer and once I came across your website through a random search online, I knew right away I wanted you as my photographer. I was very happy that you were able to be with us all day from start to finish so you could catch every moment. It's very rare to find someone like you and I would hope to see you at my younger sister's future wedding because I wouldn't trust anyone else to do any better than you. Thank you so much for capturing our memories. We will never forget." ~ Rachel & Justin
"Steve and I love our wedding photos and everyone that's seen them is very impressed with the photography and believes many of them should be in a magazine. I've recommend you to several people already as we enjoyed you being a part of our event." ~ Venetia & Steve
"I am thoroughly enjoying viewing the slideshow of our wedding pictures over, over, over and over again. The pictures are amazing. Thank you Tony for being such a great photographer at our wedding. You were so easy to work with. I am having so much trouble picking which pictures I want for the album. I want all of them, they all came out so good." ~ Liliana & Travis
"Hi Tony! Thank you SO much for the pictures!!! Tim and I were blown away by the quality and breadth of your photography, and we're so thankful that we chose you as our photographer. Our family and friends have given us so many compliments about you - not just about how amazing your pictures turned out, but on how professional you were and also how you helped everyone relax and have FUN, which was important on such a hectic day. :-) We are also very thankful that you were there with us all day - from the bridal shower at 8AM (!!!) to the last dance at the end of the night. Our bridal party says you can party with us any time! :-) We don't even need to recommend you to friends as they already are asking for your info. Again - thank you so much for being patient, fun, and a good sport during the long day! We couldn't be happier with the final product AND the photography process. All the best!" ~ Carmen & Tim
"Thank you! We have had so many compliments from our guests about you! They just loved your personality and professionalism; everyone felt very comfortable around you. You really do know how to make yourself invisible during the ceremony and reception. Although, that quality is sort of bitter sweet because we enjoy your company so much! Our guests also loved watching the little slide show you put up in your photo frame toward the end of the night. I know we will be asked for your phone number when all of our friends get married!" ~ Staci & Kris
"I was in tears as I showed my co-workers the wedding pictures at the office. The pictures are absolutely beautiful; your photos captured moments that reminded us how much fun we had that day. Thank you so much. You are not only a great photographer, you were there for us as an awesome friend. You went with the flow as plans changed. We will surely miss working with you. A lot of friends had asked us about you, so do expect some calls from them in the near future." ~ Jacqueline & Danny
"Hi Tony. I am speechless regarding these pictures. I don't know how to thank you for being part of our day. I am so excited, and shaky from being very emotional here at my desk. The pictures are absolutely awesome. You took me right back to that day, and I appreciate everything you've done. The details you took of everything. Your pictures are just beyond words. Thank you for everything." ~ Eliza & Ruben
"Tony was recommended to us by a friend and there is no doubt that we will recommend him to our friends and family as well. Tony is so easy to work with. He's professional and patient with the chaotic wedding preparations as well as the day of itinerary. He has a great eye! Our wedding engagement pictures were amazing and the wedding photos were breathless. It was everything we wanted, professional, creative, unique and beautiful. He captured all moments of our wedding." ~ Maggie & Gerard
"Hi Tony! Thank you so much for all you've done for us! The wedding photos are beautiful!!! We have gotten so many compliments from our family and friends who had seen the photos! You did such a great job! Again, thanks for all you've done, and I think I want to compose my thoughts and put a review of you in "Yelp" ~ it would be good for business!" ~ Lori & Milan
"Hi Tony, Thank you for all of your hard work. I know that with these wedding albums, we will be able to look back and relive one of the most happiest moments in our lives. We appreciate everything you've done for us." ~ Elizabeth & Ernest
"As we look back at our wedding there are a few things that we remember, with all the family and friends sharing in our special day it is real hard to remember all the beautiful moments. Elaine and I can't express enough how much we love the pictures from the wedding. You captured every moment as if it were priceless. Your professionalism truly shines in every area. Everything from the technology (website, cameras, editing and lighting) you use to the custom business cards of us on the day of the wedding. We truly felt that you were the right person to capture our perfect day. Not only were you VERY professional, you were kind, funny and felt like part of the family. Bravo !!!" ~ Elaine & Adam
"Hey Tony! I checked out the photos and they look amazing! Words are not enough to express our happiness that they were more than we expected! Paul and I enjoyed looking at them over and over again! We couldn't wait and shared it to our families right away! Paul's mom kept on saying over and over: the photos are beautiful! All through the reception, our guests kept on complimenting us on how friendly and very accommodating you are. Our wedding party were at ease with you. Thanks for not losing your patience on our relatives and friends who are trying to capture the best photos as well. :) You never loose your COOL from beginning to end! :)
Paul and I believe that in order to have a very memorable and successful wedding, a couple should put a chunk of their budget in hiring a top quality photographer. Tony, we felt that we hit the jackpot with you. :) Not only are you one of the best wedding photographers out there but your great personality really separates you from the rest. We truly believe that we made a good investment! The photos you took are truly priceless and amazing! They will forever remind us of our special day and each time we look at them...we'll always have a smile on our face because of you :)" ~ Mara & Paul
"Tony, I am floored! Our pictures are unbelievable, and I am so happy with them. I can't wait to see the rest. I also wanted to tell you how many people loved you at our reception. I have had everyone tell me how they thought you were amazing. Thank you so much." ~ Jenny & Will
"I cannot tell you how much Bryan and I love the pictures! We were basically smiling the entire time we watched the slideshow. Thank you so much!" ~ Odessa & Bryan
"I would like to take just a little bit to thank you so very much for everything you did. After the wedding we heard so many people say that they just loved you. Everyone really liked how you had the digital picture frame set up and the quality of pictures you took. You just made everything so fun and easy. I never felt I had to pose for pictures you just did everything so natural. I would recommend you to anyone and everyone. I'm very blessed to have had you as a photographer for my wedding!!" ~ Christine & Bobby
"Tony exceeded our expectations in every way!! We have received compliments from nearly every guest as to how wonderful the photos turned out from the wedding. The guests also enjoyed the quick slideshow that Tony quickly put together at the reception from the day's photos. Tony was very easy to work with and he respected all of our preferences regarding the photo style being natural rather than posed. He captured all the important moments without being intrusive. We hardly knew he was there. We could have not been happier. Tony, thank you once again for capturing our event in a truly amazing way! Best wishes." ~ Nicola & Casey
"Hi Tony! Thank you so much for our engagement session. We couldn't be more appreciative in the level of detail and creativity you put in each shot!!!! We can definitely tell you love what you do. We already looked at your blog this morning and saw the some of the pictures that you posted. They are truly AMAZING!!!! We couldn't have been happier! As soon as we saw them, we sent the link to all of our family and friends! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!" ~ Teresa & Scott
"Dear Tony, thank you so much!! We love all the pictures! We are so grateful we have you during our wedding, very artistic and such a natural talent!" ~ Grace & Ian
"Tony's very easy going, and totally put us at ease. He was very professional, showed up on time. He took all the family and friends pictures I had requested. We had a lot going on during the reception, but he was always around when I needed a picture taken. I also liked that he was able to put on a slideshow of the ceremony pictures during the reception. We went slightly over on our budget for photographer but his packages include a lot of things, so we felt it was a good deal. Tony is highly recommended." ~ Celia & Erick
"Tony, all I can say is "OMG". Thank you so much for making our wedding pictures so beautiful. I can't wait to show my parents and friends." ~ Hien & Tam
"Thank you Tony! I am so glad that we were able to shoot in Monterey - the scenery was a great backdrop for the photos. The pictures look great!" ~ Nina & John
"Thank you soooo much for the engagement photo session! The photos came out GREAT! The thank you cards arrived today and they are sooooo beautiful thanks to your wonderful photography." ~ Nicole & Keith
"Hi Tony! Thank you so much. The day turned out great. I loved the pictures you showed at the wedding on the slideshow. Everyone keeps telling me how beautiful they are. Thank you again very much. Have a great day." ~ Kimberley & Chris
"Hi Tony!! The pictures turned out GREAT! We absolutely love them and are thrilled as they turned out to be everything we wanted! You were able to capture everything we had in mind, from the beautiful scenery to our emotions, and show them all in style and vivid colors! We love your sense of creativity, artistic style, agility (even through the Sutro Bath ruins!), fish-eye lens, Photo Shop skills and all! Your passion for photography really shines through in our pictures and also from our time together. People tell us cake tasting is the best part of wedding planning, but our engagement photo shoot with you has been the best (and funnest) part of our wedding planning so far =). We too had a blast during our photo shoot and can't wait to work with you again on our wedding day!" ~ Candy & Francis
"Hi Tony, I took a look at the pictures and they look very nice. I like the quality - exactly what I wanted in the photography." ~ Linda & Randy
"Tony, you rock...period...done. I didn't really know what to expect and had a million things running through my head on the day of the wedding, but we could not have asked or expected anything more from you. In the fast paced schedule, you made things run so smoothly, and made it so natural, that we had a great time. My groomsmen were a pack of wild animals, but you corralled them without missing a step =). After the engagement photo shoot, I knew we were in good hands, and your work at the wedding just blew me away. The first thing Helen and I talked about, when the day was done, was how far you exceeded both our expectations in the level of quality of your service." ~ Helen & Trac
"Hi Tony, thanks so much for sending over the shots, we love them. I was almost going to burst with anticipation and was excited to see the results of our day at the winery! Doug and I had a great time - we didn't know what to expect, but had a lot of fun. It was a pleasure wandering the vineyard and climbing up planters for these pictures!" ~ Alison & Doug
"Ciao Tony, I hope you have recovered from our photo bonanza in Italy. Thank you for capturing our day so beautifully!" ~ Lauren & Johnny
"Scott and I have been trying not to show anyone the engagement photos because we wanted to keep it a surprise until the wedding, but we had to show some people. They all loved them!" ~ Jackie & Scott
"Tony was a great photographer. First and foremost he is a genuinely nice person and very personable. When we first met him in San Jose, he took the time to understand our plans and goals. He was very straightforward with us about his prices. He didn't pressure us in any way. I told him I really wanted to take our engagement photos in Lake Tahoe in the middle of the winter and he was very excited about the prospects. When we received the pictures they were absolutely gorgeous. For a photographer who had never shot in the snow, he had an excellent vision. On our wedding day, Tony did an excellent job of letting us do our thing and we didn't feel he was obstructing our flow. During the reception Tony took the time get to know the guests and the wedding party. Everybody felt comfortable working with him. I think what separates Tony from other photographers is his passion for weddings. To me it seems like he really enjoys meeting new people and capturing the joy of their special day." ~ Mary & Chien
"Well, we have made it back from our great honeymoon. The whole time we discussed the wedding and how great we thought it turned out, and how very impressed we were with our photographer!!! We can't thank you enough Tony for being there, doing such a great job, and capturing all those special moments for us!!!! I of course can't tell you how excited I am to see all the photos!!! Tony, the pictures are beyond what I was expecting - they are beautiful!!! You captured every thing as if I was telling you when to snap...hee hee!!! Thank you soooooo much!!!! I love them!!! Thank you so much Tony!!!!! Thank you so much for capturing our wedding day perfectly!" ~ Amanda & Peter
"Thank you again SO MUCH from me and Justin for everything. The pictures are absolutely beautiful. From the planning days months before down to the last minutes of the reception, you were so accommodating, personable and creative. We and our family and friends were also impressed and touched that you had so many of their names down. I've got a dozen cousins and friends that have you in mind for their future weddings." ~ Kristine & Justin
"Thank you Tony. I was anxious about the pictures. They turned out great. I love them. It was fun having you in our wedding plan. You are awesome. I think we will miss you very much after everything is done." ~ Jacqueline & Danny
"Tony, these are FABULOUS! Wow, thanks so much... makes us even more excited about the wedding!!!! WOW, wow, wow!!!" ~ Sarah & Todd
"Tony!!! They are amazing! I love them! You did such a great job. Thank you so much!" ~ Ciara & Luke
"Hi Tony! Thank you SO much for everything! My guests loved the instant slideshow of our wedding and they all thought you were very great and professional! Thank you for staying all day with us! The pictures in the slideshow look amazing; we can't wait to see the rest! You are truly a joy to work with!" ~ Julie & Chad
"Hi Tony, thank you for expediting our engagement photos. You did it so fast, I am amazed! The engagement photos are wonderful. We have never had professional photos taken of us and you have given us an amazing experience with that; thank you!" ~ Melody & Chad
"Dear Tony, THANK YOU for the beautiful pictures! You were able to capture so many of our special moments with so much heart-felt emotions! We especially liked the morning preparation and off-site photos. You are certainly very talented in capturing and producing a wide range of images through different angles and perspectives, and do so in a very artistic way. We LOVE the fish-eye lens shots, vivid colors, special touch ups, and awesome color effects! Thank you so much for being apart of our big day, and for working so hard to get us our beautiful wedding photos! We will certainly cherish them for a lifetime." ~ Candy & Francis
"Hi Tony! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for the pictures. They are beautiful, funny and very editorial. We love them and I can't wait to share them with my family and friends. I can't stop looking at them. I am so excited for the wedding pictures. We had so much fun and thank you for making me feel more confident. I was right in getting you as our photographer! :)" ~ Pamela & Irwin
"TONY!!! THE PICTURES ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!! WE LOOOOOOOVE THEM!!!! AND YOU WERE AMAZING! You were so patient and wonderful with my panicky self. It all turned out WAY better than we could have expected! YAY!!!! Thank you again and again! You were phenomenal." ~ Mia & Will
"The photos that Tony took of my friend holding her newborn nephew at my wedding were the first ones that I saw and they took my breath away. In fact, my friend's sister is giving them to her in a collage frame for her birthday! On the day of my wedding, I was specific with Tony about not wanting "cheesy" pictures and he did everything to honor my wishes and make me, my husband and all of our guests feel comfortable. He was professional in every way, from asking questions about our expectations, likes and dislikes, to arriving early on the day of the wedding, and following up with me promptly afterward. My husband and I had a very casual wedding and were not even sure that we wanted a photographer to begin with, but after seeing our photos I am ecstatic that we chose to go this route. In viewing our photographs, I witnessed so many incredible moments that I missed during our wedding because I was occupied elsewhere. Like my husband said, 'This looks like so much fun! I wish I could go again as a guest!' I am confident that we could not have hired another team as talented, respectful and intuitive as Tony." ~ Nikki & Todd
"I appreciate all the hard work that you did for us on our wedding day. It was so easy to work with you and you made taking the pictures fun." ~ Varisara & Chris
"Thank you so much for your hard work on our wedding day! Derrick and I got lucky finding you on the internet. You were very easy and friendly to work with. Our wedding day was a blur but you helped us to remember all the special moments! We will highly recommend you to all of our friends and family." ~ Trang & Derrick
"We hope you enjoyed taking photos on our wedding. Again THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your help and for the wit, smiles and professionalism you shared with us. It was a delight working with you!" ~ Mary-Lyn & Resty
We got tons of great shots. The pics are truly great. I absolutely love both the artistic ones (black and white with only a splash of color) and more traditional ones. The pictures taken during engagement session and rehearsal are also great. All are phenomenal. Formal ones turned great and Tony took every single shot we asked him to. Both our families and everyone's feedback was positive. All in all, this was out first experience with a professional photographer, so I am not sure what others do, but I sincerely recommend Tony. The value we got for our $$ was excellent. For this quality of pics an service, other asked for over $7K which we couldn't afford. Thanks so much. We are very happy with his service and professionalism and would love to serve as a reference if ever needed." ~ Irena & Nick
"Tony - You were fantastic during our wedding. You were very professional and courteous but at the same time made all of us and our family members feel very comfortable and calm on our wedding day. You joked and laugh with our friends and family members but all the while took stunning candid and posed shots of us during each event that took place throughout the day. The pictures that you took helped us re-live our wedding day every time we flip through our pictures. You didn’t miss a beat. If we had to do it all over again, we would have hired you right off the bat instead of wasting our time interviewing with four other wedding photographers. Once again, a job well done! We would highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer. Thank you so much for making our wedding day memorable." ~ Selvia & Tai
"Tony, we just wanted to let you know what a wonderful job you did!!!!!! The pictures came back fast and nice. Your service was gladly appreciated. Hope to do work with you in the future and also would recommend you to anyone!!! Great job!!!!!! Thank you!!" ~ Keyanna & Martin
"I can’t tell you enough Tony how impressed I am with you as an individual, as a professional, your equipment, your website and a whole list of other things! My family and friends as well as Ngoc and I have talked about you quite a lot. As I said on the phone, if we ever need professional photography for anything, you will be called and anytime we can refer you, we will." ~ Ngoc & Don
"Hi Tony! We really like the pictures you've sent to us. You've been really great, especially on our wedding day. Of all the things that went wrong that day, you were really the one thing that went perfect. We highly recommended you to a lot of people that are getting married. Thanks again. You did a great job!" ~ Donna & Ryan
"Hi Tony! Thanks so much for the pictures! They're beautiful!" "Hi Tony. We received your pictures for Natalie and Ryan's wedding, and you did a wonderful job. Thank you for everything." ~ Natalie & Ryan
"Hi Tony! We had a great time! WE LOVE the photos!!!! We shared the photos w/ our families and friends and they loved them. Thank you again for the wonderful experience and the amazing photos! We have received so many compliments." ~ Mary & Chien
"Tony, they are gorgeous man!!!! Our goal was to get 1 good picture that engagement day. There are obviously a lot more than that. We both love em!!" ~ Nimisha & Ankush
"Thank you Tony! These are really great shots." ~ Grace & Ian
"WOW! Everything looks absolutely lovely - I just still can't believe how gorgeous all the photos are! They are so lovely Tony. I was in tears looking at all of them. I just still can't believe that day happened. And of course your work is just amazing. Thank you so much!!!" ~ Stephania & Roger
"We blew our budget on photos but I think it was worth it. Tony is really creative and flexible, and a sweet guy to boot. We got a kickass package, including albums. He prepared a slideshow of ceremony pics for our guests to enjoy during the reception. It was really sweet." "Hi Tony! This is Shery, the matron of honor for Toni and Jeff's intimate wedding at Hazlwood. I saw the pix from your blogsite and they are all so gorgeous. They really capture "the moment" so well and are just so beautiful and awe-inspiring. I just wanted to give you kudos for your stunning work! Like I said to you during the ceremony - I really admire your gift! :)" ~ Toni & Jeff
"Dear Tony, thank you so much for taking these pictures. I just showed my mom and Pablo and they really love them!!!! We're so excited about the way they turned out. I really appreciate everything you have done for us. I really like your style. They will always serve as a memory of a very sweet and exciting time in our lives." ~ Mona & Pablo
"These photos are awesome and what a great day we had! I must say it might take us a little time to pick our favorites. :)" ~ Jackie & Jeremy
"Hi Tony. The pictures are wonderful! I'm so excited!" ~ Elizabeth & Ernest
"Hi Tony! I just wanted to let you know, that Milan and I love the photos!!! You have captured what we wanted for our engagement shots. We really love the black and whites. Great job!" ~ Lori & Milan
"Hi Tony, we just got back last night and we saw the pictures that you posted. They are amazing. :) Thanks a lot, you've been great. We are so happy with the result. :)" ~ Carolina & Geoffrey
"Hi Tony, the photos are absolutely WONDERFUL!!! They are amazing and thank you so very much for being so artistic and fun with the photos. You truly are a professional." ~ Nicole & Keith
"Tony is absolutely every bride's dream and every bride's family's dream. Honestly, I am a bit of the rebellious type and chose a different photographer at first simply because my mom wanted me to pick Tony. I wanted to be the one to do the picking so I simply picked someone else just to be rebellious. Boy was I stupid. My sister was also engaged at the time and had selected Tony to be her photographer. When her engagement photos came back I was STUNNED! He took the most beautiful, amazing photos I had ever seen. He made my sister and her husband look absolutely beautiful with the most fantastic backgrounds. So, I had to check my pride in at the door and admit that I was being childish. I forfeited a $500 deposit I gave to another photographer simply to work with Tony and boy did I make the right decision. Not only is he clearly a true talent (he made me look better than I've ever looked), he was incredibly professional, always answered every phone call we made to him even if he was on vacation with his family, and responds to all e-mails promptly. Even though I did not even know him prior to this, he almost became like family because he was so calming throughout the whole process (he always has an aura of calm). If this wasn't enough of an explanation to the testament of his work and character, get a load of this! My husband's best man who is also his brother, fainted during the ceremony and hit his head, causing him to go unconscious and go to the hospital with a concussion. Thankfully, the best man came to, called us from the hospital, and let us know he was ok so we were able to move on and have a great time. Naturally, this unexpected event forced us to lose a bit of time for picture taking since we decided to not see each other before hand and to take pictures after the ceremony. I honestly did not think that anyone could possibly come up with good pictures with the time we had and with the sun going down, but Tony simply proved me wrong. They look beautiful!!!! Plus, I got to see them right away which really calmed my nerves on such an important day. He did this by plugging his camera into his laptop and displaying them on a screen in the dance room! My favorite photo of all the photos he took is actually from that session with Tony and it is framed in my living room! Tony is truly a gem. He is so desired that my friend, who is getting married in Italy, is flying him to Italy to photograph the wedding and she is picky! I guess she want to feel like a glorious runway model for a day too. :) Honesty, I don't think it can get any better than Tony. If you select him for your publication, you will not be disappointed. That's a guarantee!" ~ Mania & JP
"Hi Tony, thanks for the photos. They look awesome! Take care." ~ Christina & Jerel
"Hi Tony, we're about to leave for our honeymoon, but we wanted to thank you so much for the awesome job you did yesterday! Our guests were literally floored when they saw the pictures of the ceremony at the reception. They couldn't believe how beautiful the pictures turned out!! Us as well!! Each shot was so unique and personal....it took our breath away. Everything was great...from the preparation pictures, to the wedding party pictures....to the photo montage! Numerous guests came up to us at the end of the night and raved about the great work you did and are excited to see more! I know business cards were a big hit. Again, thank you so much!!!!!! P.S. Thank you for being so patient we our wedding party. :-) I know they can be a little rowdy...haha...but they had so much fun!!! Definitely something we will all remember for a lifetime! Thank you for being a part of this special event!" ~ Teresa & Scott
"Hi Tony. The pictures are beautiful and awesome, exactly what we expected from you. I was amazed to see how you could capture these moments and almost slow down time in some of these shots. We already reviewed you and gave you a heart felt great review. And trust me Tony, your photos speak for themselves. Not that anyone needs my 2 cents once they see your work, but I'll definitely be recommending you to everyone amongst friends/family." ~ Nimisha & Ankush
"Tony, thanks for the wonderful pictures. Everyone we showed it to (co-workers, friends) are wowed with the quality. The way moments were captured are great. My whole family loves them." ~ Arlyn & James
"Tony, I really like the ones you sent. Everybody just loves your work. Next time I see you I need to pick up a few extra business cards to give away to people." ~ Rachel & Marvin
"Hi Tony. I was just being nosy on your website and I saw the photos of Travis and I. I was overwhelmed with excitement! You are a great photographer and we had a blast with you at Baker Beach. I read your blog too and I'm showing it to my family. It's so nice what you wrote about us. I love the photos! You are such a great photographer. Thanks Tony." ~ Liliana & Travis
"Hi Tony, thank you so much! Our favorites from the engagement shooot are #18 and #29. And thank you so much for the engagement book! It arrived yesterday and it looks AMAZING!!

"Thanks so much for getting those first pictures to us. It was so nice to see those while we were honeymooning. Our family and friends have really enjoyed seeing the pictures as well." ~ Nina & John
"Great pictures, Tony. Thank you once again for taking the beautiful engagement pictures at Mendocino. We have been sharing them with our friends and family over the past few weeks. Everybody is excited and looking forward to our receptions this December. We are glad that you will be able to photograph all the moments of our celebration. Thanks again!" ~ Grace & Wayne
"Hi Tony, Ruben and I don't know how to thank you enough for the beautiful/AWESOME engagement pictures that you took of us. First, you made our day sooo fun by just the GREAT person that you are!! When I viewed all our engagement pictures online, the style and your creativity had me in tears as I watched the slideshow. The slideshow actually took me back to that day when Ruben and I were having so much fun as you were snapping away on your camera. I haven't even seen my wedding pictures yet, but I know I will be crying as well when I see them cause you are the kind of person that will make every moment count with your BRIDE and GROOM!!! I am SOOO EXCITED to see you on our big day!!! From the very bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE QUALITY TIME YOU HAVE SPENT WITH US!!! I will definitely let people know that they haven't seen AWESOME pictures until they see Portrait By Tony. :)" ~ Eliza & Ruben
"Well, thank you for your wonderful work. You captured all the great memories of our wedding. The pictures turned out great!" ~ Elaine & Roy
"All I have to say about these pictures is WOW!!!! You have done an extraordinary job! You really truly captured the moment and have made all my wedding dreams come true. I also noticed you did some Photoshop on me where my hair would fall in my eyes or on my forehead. My hair never look that good! I thank you for that. Great looking hair is a big plus and with my thin hair it is hard to do! Feel free to keep that up. :) I will be sure to write you a glowing review! It will be really easy. All I have to do is be super honest! :)" ~ Mania & JP
"Hi Tony! The pictures look wonderful! There are so many shots we had no idea you even took, and they all turned out great. Thank you so much for all your hard work before, during, and after our wedding. You were on time, stayed out of the way when necessary and directed us as needed, and were completely professional from start to finish. There were no hiccups, and the last thing we worried about on our special day was the photography. You were happy, made us all feel great, and made the whole "wedding photography experience" a lot of fun. Thank you for your hard work! Keep in touch - we will recommend you to anyone who asks. :)" ~ Karina & Ilya

"Hey Tony! OH MY GOSH!!! The photos are amazing!!! I forwarded the photos to Paul and he was just as amazed and happy as I was. You put us at ease and made the experience fun and memorable. You take such beautiful pictures that makes us look better than either of us thought we could! The poses you made us do are just perfect and fits our personality (not cheesy and very classic!!). I was at work when I checked your email and I just had to show it to my co-workers...and of course they LOVED it! Thanks so much Tony for the prompt follow-up. You made my day :)" ~ Mara & Paul
"You have done such an unbelievably wonderful job with our wedding day photos, they are strikingly beautiful; everyone loves the "earring photo"! Thank you for being there from start to finish; it was a pleasure having you as our photographer. You helped in so many ways to make things flow smoothly (family photos). In addition, we absolutely loved how you had all of the photos of the ceremony displayed at the reception. It was such a surprise and a wonderful gift you provided for our friends and family to view. We truly can't say enough Tony. Your personable qualities make you a remarkable photographer and with that, you compose the most incredible photographs. Thank you!" ~ Melody & Chad

We wanted to thank you so much for all of your work and time and giving us the confidence to work together as a team! Everyone was delighted with you as well. My mom kept saying how nice and calm you were. We know it was a hot, long, crazy day but you stuck through it with such professionalism and dedication! We are very happy that you were our photographer. Thanks so much!!" ~ Romina & Oscar

"Hi Tony, I just wanted to say thank you for capturing our special day. I have to look at the link at least once a day. I forwarded the link to my friends and family who were not able to celebrate with us to see the preview of what's to come. They all were amazed by the beautiful pictures and I got a million of good comments already. You did such an amazing job and thank you for being so nice and patient. We hope you had a great time taking pictures of us because we, and even the bridal party, were very comfortable with you. You are an awesome photographer!" ~ Pamela & Irwin
"Hi Tony, the pictures turned out great. We couldn't have picked a better wedding photographer. You kept us calm throughout the day and night. Our friends and family also enjoyed interacting with you." ~ Susie & Chung
"Hi Tony, we just want to thank you for capturing all the special moments of the best day of our lives. We felt like you were one of our friends and made us feel very comfortable throughout the day - even the bridal party felt comfortable with you! We're so happy that you were there from early in the morning until 2 AM the next day! We wouldn't be able to get that kind of service with any other photographer. All of the guests loved the slideshow of some of the pics you already took before the reception. It's a teaser of the great pictures to come! We'll definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a photographer. Thank you!" ~ Jackie & Scott
"Thanks Tony! We got back from our honeymoon last week so the pictures are a welcome surprise! They are great, looking at them this morning made me feel like I was reliving the day (but without all of the stress!). I've gotten so many compliments on the pictures and on you! Everyone was very comfortable with you, which was a key element to the pictures success. After my Dad saw the preview pictures at the wedding, he had already given you a 'thumbs-up'. Thanks again! I have to tell you that your photos have inspired Doug, all through our honeymoon in Europe Doug was trying to take 'Tony Shots' using creative angles and perspectives. Thanks again for everything!" ~ Alison & Doug
"Tony! The slide show at the wedding reception was amazing; the slide show online is amazing; and working with you was amazing!!!!! Thank you so much. Your work truly tells a story of our special day and all of the memories with it. All the people that have seen our pics absolutely LOVE them. You do such a great job and have received some really amazing compliments on your work. It was a pleasure working with you . . . we'll definitely refer you to all of our friends who are getting married in the future!" ~ Maureen & Joshua
"Hi Tony! We knew from the moment we met you that we had found the right person to capture our day and I have been excited to see the photos ever since! I am a meticulous person with high expectations and Tony you have exceeded every one of them! The photos are beautiful! It was truly like reliving the day all over again! You were amazing Tony! You handled the day with professionalism and caring and still managed to capture all the moments on film! I am so astounded at how well you captured the true personality of the family in every shot!
