Trung Hoang Photography

l poses and caught so many authentic moments for both events. When I was researching photographers I was looking for both the types of photos taken and the edits. Trung does not disappoint and I'm so glad we chose him. We were a little nervous about the cost, but after receiving our first batch of wedding photos we knew it was worth it.

res he captured for my sister’s wedding and luckily he was available for our wedding day. My husband and I were very nervous the day of with our large families and Trung was such a calm and organized person. Super happy with our wedding album and would highly recommend him to all my friends if I could for their special day. 

tic presence that made taking the photos - particularly the portraits - enjoyable! He’s a true professional who knows exactly how to direct people for the right shots but also knows how to capture the perfect candid moment. We were amazed by how many photos he took given he was just one person! What really impressed us was how he spent a little extra time at our wedding to capture the final moments, even though we didn’t expect him to. I was amazed by how he sent several of the best photos the next morning too! His gallery is well organized and he’s very responsive. I cannot recommend working with Trung enough — he will make your special occasion unforgettable in the best way!

Trung and his assistant totally crushed it, capturing the energy and pure joy at our event. He was also upbeat, relaxed, and easy to work with. Now we have hundreds of fun, amazing photos to relive our day over and over. Highly recommend if you want to capture the fun vibes at your wedding.

such a great sense of humor and light heartedness that really relieved the stress we had during this time. He was knowledgeable and realistic about timing and really helped to keep us on track with his efficiency. We are so glad we got to work with him and have such beautiful memories captured by him. To all who are interested, you will not regret your decision to work with him and we cannot recommend him enough.

rt of the wedding day timeline. He even gave me (the bride) a ride to the venue because all of the cars were filled! On top of that, he helped us record our ceremony and first dance as a stand-still recording when we asked. Above and beyond in every sense. And throughout the event, he was additive to the vibe. Beautiful pictures, awesome guy, and chose a great second photographer for our event as well. If you're wavering, don't! If you're unsure, just choose him. If you're still looking around, you can stop now. We loved working with Trung, we love the photos he took for us, and we cannot recommend him enough.

s earlier this year, and we loved them so much we had him photograph our wedding last weekend. We’ve already received sneak peek photos, and they are PHENOMENAL! I cannot recommend Trung enough—he’s a true artist who brings out the best in every moment.

as super efficient too — we got more family and wedding party photos than we expected. And all of the photos turned out so wonderfully! Trung caught so many beautiful candid smiles and moments throughout the day. A photographer is such a big part of your wedding day, and we are so glad that Trung was a part of ours. He went above and beyond for us.

It was also raining on our big day and both our families are difficult to organize and get group photos and Hoang was well equipped for the rain and deal with a large amount of people. He was very kind, and our wedding photos are beautiful! I can’t recommend Trung Hoang enough, he was a delight!

s that felt effortless. The final photos are absolutely stunning! Thung has a real eye for nature and captured the emotions of the day perfectly.

e he arrived, he took advantage of capturing every special moment between us (the couple), our parties, families and friends. He even helped me put in my veil - he had bobby pins on hand and knew exactly what to do. Trung was so much more than a photographer that day and we are SO thankful that he was there. The next day, we received a highlight reel of pics. Unreal. Outstanding quality of pictures and awesome human to work with.

quite literally the best day of our life. I can say that Trung, 100%, added to it. We were lucky enough to work with Trung as our photographer for both our engagement shoot & our wedding day. I found Trung’s work while planning for the wedding, on a blog. And I immediately fell in love with his work. I would describe it as “the ability to capture candid, intimate moments, where you can palpate the genuine emotions in a photograph.” I’ve been to >25 weddings, with me being in half of them as a bridesmaid. I knew what I didn’t want, which were forced, fake smiles, stiff poses. I wanted photos that felt real through paper. Trung did that for us, plus more. For me, I am 100% uncomfortable in front of a camera. Awkward smile, stiff hands. How do I pose? My husband is also the same LOL. Trung has the magical ability to help us relax, have a good time, and enjoy the process. I don’t think he took 1 photo I didn’t like! Which was surprising, because there were moments where I did look like a hot mess in person LOL. I was BLOWN away by the photos. I think my husband and I said “WOW!” several times. Trung’s ability to capture lighting, landscape, emotions.. bar none. Everything appeared natural, but you could tell were, professionally done. For him to capture such unforgettable moments, on the best day of our life, was truly priceless. He is both fun to work with, and in my opinion, his work is at the top of his field. I will be working with Trung in the future for other life events for sure. I trust him wholeheartedly to make photos come alive, and for people to come alive, too :) we love you Trung!

iting was top notch. Highly recommended!

We are so happy we did. His pictures of our wedding are outstanding, and a few days after the event, he sent us a large preview of photos that made the whole family happy. He sent us the full photo list 6 weeks later and we were so impressed with the way he organized it to allow us to quickly find our favorites. He was also friendly and fun during the wedding. He vibed with our guests and integrated seamlessly into the event. He made both of us feel comfortable during the initial staged couple shots and never rushed us. Finally, Trung is very well organized. He was able to take all of the different permutations of group photos we asked and directed family and friends assertively but kindly. We highly recommend Trung!!

r save-the-dates and wedding website. He really made our vision come to life, from suggesting breathtaking shoot locations to monitoring the cloud coverage to make sure we had the best weather possible. He was also fun to work with and he made me and my fiance feel comfortable in front of the camera. I highly recommend hiring Trung for your photoshoot!

foremost, we loved his photography style, which captures warm, true-to-life colors that flatter a wide range of skin tones and work well with all types of lighting. He did a wonderful job of capturing spontaneous/candid moments during our Indian and Western wedding ceremonies, as well as efficiently getting through our (long) list of family portraits! He and his wife also were a true pleasure to work with over the entire weekend -- flexible, easy and fun to hang out with, but also incredibly efficient/focused on capturing great photos. Lastly, compared to other photographers we had looked at, his pricing was quite reasonable (a great bonus!) We absolutely love our photos and would highly recommend Trung to anyone looking for an exceptional and easy-to-work with wedding photographer!

d artist. We reached out to Trung and scheduled a virtual meeting so we could get to know each other. This was helpful since we’d be coming from out of state to San Francisco and we needed as much organization and simplicity as possible. Trung’s pricing structure, contract, and timelines were clear and concise, minimizing our to-do checklist and keeping us within budget. The days leading up to the wedding, he was very communicative on scheduling and last-minute details. The morning of the wedding, he arrived early to our hotel and ready to document the day! Although he had never worked with our videographer, Trung had great professional chemistry with him and worked in tandem without being disruptive or “in-the-way” while everyone was getting ready. He floated seamlessly between the two rooms the men and women were getting ready in, which allowed so many different moments to be captured. Trung was also very helpful while we were both getting ready- he even helped my husband tie his bowtie! He was very charming and charismatic, which put me, my husband, and our families at ease. Trung was fantastic at giving direction as to where to look, how to change our body language, and even how to walk so he could capture natural moments. After the few hours spent working together, Trung really did become an extension of our small family wedding. Looking back, we would not have had the same wonderful experience if he was not part of our special day. Our families look back at the photos quite often and we happily relive the day through the stunning photos Trung took. Do yourselves a favor and hire Trung immediately!

d ended up at Lake Merritt. My husband and I are both somewhat awkward in front of cameras, but he instantly put us at ease and provided good feedback. He brilliantly captured both the beauty of the place as well as a surprising number of non-awkward photos of us. Leading up to our wedding, Trung was very responsive, flexible and timely. His wedding photography was beautiful, colorful and full of emotion; Trung has a keen eye for capturing both the special moments of the ceremony as well as candid moments throughout the entire day. We love the photographs from both the wedding and engagement shoot. Trung is a great photographer, wedding vendor and all-around lovely person to hang out with - we can't recommend him enough!

dge and nearby beach. We knew from that experience that we wanted him to photograph our wedding! On our big day, Trung blended in seamlessly and was able to capture moments both big and small that told the whole story of our celebration. Guests commented on how professional and personable he was the entire evening. I would recommend Trung for any of your photography needs. He delivers not only exceptional photographs, but makes the entire experience memorable. Thank you again for giving us memories for a lifetime. The McNellises

photos but I also like the candid shots. He was quick to send us sneak peak photos and updated us on the timeline of when to expect the photos. Photos turned out excellent!

did such a beautiful job! Not only was he good at loosening us up (we were nervous), but his photography was beautiful! He got our pictures back to us quickly and we used them for our save the dates. He is professional and great at what he does, we highly recommend him!

and feel more comfortable when we posed for photos. Now that we’ve gotten the preview of the photos from the reception, we can confidently say that Trung was able to capture the magic of that night -- the colors, the lights, the energy. He made us look like how we felt: on top of the world. On top of that, he helped me tie my bowtie! His wife Julie served as the second shooter and complemented him well, capturing the behind-the-scenes getting-ready portion of the day without us feeling awkward. She was super nice and friendly, and captured so much of that night without us really noticing. But the photos are the proof. It was so nice not to have to think about using our phones to capture any of the night, as we knew we’d have full coverage thanks to Trung and Julie. They even stayed an extra half-hour to the end, to finish off the night with us.

amera. We also did our engagement shoot with him which I highly recommend doing if you’re able to as a practice run for the big day. His photos speak for themselves, but he’s also a great guy! Many of our wedding guests remarked on how hard him and his partner Julie were working on the day to get all the best shots. Trung also turned around a preview of some of the best shots extremely quickly which allowed our guests to view them during brunch the next day! We loved having Trung and Julie photograph our wedding and highly recommend them!

entire process really comfortable. He paid attention to what we wanted out of our photos and made sure to check off a very long list of requested shots. He is speedy while still getting beautiful shots, and we are so happy with our photos from both our engagement (taken in the beautiful Marin headlands) and our wedding ceremony and reception. He was so flexible and clearly comfortable working in a wide variety of settings; his natural, candid style comes through no matter what.

ell you: Trung really understood what we wanted to have captured at our wedding, and executed it beautifully. He captured wonderful moments of our ceremony, and with our friends and family before and after. He also took lovely photos that we didn't know we'd want, that are now core memories of our wedding. Not to mention that he is really good at making a last-minute boutonniere, and going with the flow during a spontaneous day-of hangout with some dear friends (again capturing dear memories of our last morning as fiancées). In short, I highly recommend Trung to photograph your wedding - we are SO happy with the memories he captured in his beautiful photos, and to have had such a warm and relaxing presence at our wedding <3

perience to help us capture important moments. He was flexible with timing and small changes throughout the day. And the photos turned out beautifully and with such quick turnaround. We love looking through them to remember our special day, and Trung captured everything perfectly!

was genuine, kind and straight forward (amazing how his personality came through a webcam). As my husband and I are both kinda awkward in front of the camera, we knew that we wanted someone who would be super chill and put us at ease; Trung was the perfect person. He was extremely easy to communicate with throughout the process and answered all of my pesky emails thoughtfully and promptly. He sent us multiple examples of his wedding photography specific to our venue (not just the highlights! the full albums for each wedding) and what impressed us most was how he and Julie seamlessly captured both artistic portraits and priceless candids, with beautiful natural lighting and rich colors that felt real and timeless. When I asked for videographer recommendations he shared his favorites and we ended up choosing Denis with Splendent Films - he and Trung have worked together before and we had an amazing experience with Denis as well. If you want a phenomenal videographer/photographer duo, we strongly recommend both Trung and Denis! The wedding day was one of the happiest and shortest days of our lives! We cannot be more grateful for all the priceless photos which we will cherish for years to come. Trung sent us so many sneak peek photos just the day after the wedding, and we received the entire album under a month later. We recommend him and Julie to any couple looking for a genuinely kind, selfless, and talented team with a style that excels at capturing timeless memories, with each photo telling a story and helping you relive your wedding day. We will be reliving ours through the amazing photos for years to come.

an absolute pleasure to work with. He was so fun and calming during our photo session that I didn't realize where the time went. We got so many beautiful shots, in so many different poses/locations/settings and it was one of the best photography experiences I have ever had. Between the shots, he kept us laughing and enjoying the day. Even after our session, when we needed an expert opinion on another set of photos, he was more than willing to share his thoughts. Trung is a great guy and just as talented a photographer.

ll prepared, and efficient. Prior to the wedding, Trung walked us through preparing a list of photos for the day and helped us think through different groupings. On the day, he did a great job handling our large and disorganized families and corralling them for all the group and individual photos we had discussed. Trung is personable, respectful, and has the polite assertiveness necessary for getting everything done on the day. We recommend him highly and very much appreciated his transparent and fair pricing!

for the portrait and group photos. Gorgeous colors, great composition! He is easy to work with and we were so happy to have him at our wedding and feel so lucky to have documented the memories so beautifully. He was quick with sharing a sneak peek of finished photos so we could share them with our friends and family, and he was efficient and professional in completing the rest of the photos. We would highly recommend his photography services!

ou. It took us a while to find Trung, we interviewed multiple photographers for our wedding, some doing wedding photos as a side job, others doing it as a team while in college, and some who would have cost more than the entire wedding put together. Having decided to do the reception in South San Francisco we did a google search for photographers in the area and Trung came up first. We sent a request to Trung to meet over zoom and learned about each other. Since the beginning all the way up to the day of our wedding Trung was professional, personable, considerate, and punctual. Trung had made sure to find out before the wedding the types of photos we were looking for, who would be in the photos and the location of each so on the day of the wedding he was well prepared and captured all photos that were a must have. Not only did Trung work well with us, but he worked well with the other vendors and was even able to help direct those who mostly spoke Vietnamese. We are glad we found Trung, he is the kind of person you would want to invite as a friend to your wedding. And finally, getting to see my beautiful wife on our wedding day and getting to relive the day through Trung's photos is the best money we've ever spent.

really liked his portfolio. We decided to hire him and it was best decision ever made because it was great working with him! Our wedding was really fun and he made us feel at ease, without feeling like we were photographed the whole night.

active throughout the day of our wedding and even helped with doing the bustle of my dress! He was calm, helped us relax taking photos, and was a joy to have at our wedding day. He would be an asset to any couple and I highly recommend hiring him for his services.

he beginning, super professional and responsive. He was also super friendly and helpful on the day of the wedding. We love the attention to detail and artistic tone of our wedding photos.

we would love his work. He was professional and friendly throughout. Before the day of the ceremony, Trung made sure to ask what pictures I wanted (e.g. family pictures, poses) and on the day of had many more ideas. My husband and I aren't natural when posing, but Trung made us feel very comfortable and helped us with tips. Overall, great experience.

d our photos, and it also came on the timely manner. We highly recommend Trung for his professionalism and amazing shots!

ecious moment and captured it in time for us to save and cherish it forever. Trung is incredibly talented, and his photos are authentic, romantic, impressive and just fabulous. His work speaks for itself. But let me talk about how easy and memorable it was to work with Trung. He makes you feel at ease and comfortable during your session, you completely feel you can be yourselves! He put so much effort into making us feel relaxed and making memories all while capturing beautiful photos! With a unique photo style, every moment is so accurately expressed, the love and passion he captures in his art is so incredibly amazing. Trung is fine art style of photography that really makes you feel all kinds of great emotions! He is very creative and knows how to direct you without making you feel awkward or uncomfortable. Our session with him was light and fun, and most importantly, personal! We loved all the photos that came back to us! He was super quick in his responses and very helpful and informative. We couldn’t be happier with how our photographs turned out! We were very fortunate to work with Trung! We would highly recommend him! 10/10 recommend! Nataša&Vladimir

ade taking the pictures fun and they came out beautifully! The process of getting the photos after the ceremony was simple and fast, and he makes it very easy to order the prints that we wanted! We highly recommend him.

and get a feel for the area. His communication and organization are top notch. Most importantly for my wife who is camera-shy, Trung is great at making people feel comfortable around a camera, and directing poses and looks that he thought would be nice. As a hobbyist photographer, some things I really appreciated about him are he is someone who is completely ok with you taking the digital files he gives you and editing them yourself, which some photographers do not allow. He also takes amazing landscape photos, and brings those skills and artistic sensibilities into his editing and wedding photography. Other things about Trung: 1) Punctual 2) Flexible (our wedding ended up running behind and suffered a blackout at the venue, both of which he took in stride) 3) Captures great photos, posed and candid! My wife and I would hire Trung again in a heartbeat!

ely easy to work with and provided great feedback for our engagement shoot. On our wedding day, him and his wife were great and captured moments we will cherish forever. We still look at our wedding photos every so often and whenever we do, we smile and remember how special it was. Thank you again Trung!

move so quickly through the family photos and got each combination we were hoping for. He helped wrangle our large bridal party (10 bridesmaids, 6 groomsmen and a flower girl) and truly helped make our day special. He and his partner captured such beautiful moments that we will cherish forever! Definitely recommend!!

t overly posed, and really captured the raw energy and emotions of our guests that day. Aside from taking great photos, Trung is always going above and beyond expectations with great attention to detail. We didn’t have a day of coordinator, and Trung didn’t hesitate to jump in as needed during the day to help us usher folks into the reception room, etc. to help the day go by smoothly! He made everyone feel comfortable and our friends and family loved working with him. We got sneak peek photos the very next day, and the full set was delivered in under 4 weeks, where he took extra care to make sure they landed in our inboxes just hours before we landed from our return flight at the end of our honeymoon. Overall just a super professional, fun, thoughtful, and talented photographer that you won’t regret hiring!
