We had the pleasure of having Toan capture our big day. One word to describe our experience with Toan would be exceptional! He displayed a sincere passion for his work. Providing great insights during the planning phase and producing world-class photos for us on our wedding day, he truly captured our wedding in a timeless fashion. Our photos will live on for the many years to come and we can't thank him enough!
Regarding the planning phase, Toan was able to provide expert insight while taking into account/meeting our many requests.
And, on the day of our wedding, Toan displayed great authority and expertise, even when time was against us.
Ultimately, he instilled great confidence in us from the start and we could not be more happy with him! -

Photography was a huge priority for my wedding, so I did A LOT of research online and on Instagram to find a photographer whose style matched my own. My now husband and I spoke with Toan over facetime and I knew right away that he would be our choice! I could tell that his professional yet fun demeanor would work well with my camera-shy guy. And I was right! Toan and his partner, Hai, made all of us feel so comfortable.
Prior to the wedding day, I sent Toan a document with all of my venue inspiration pics, shot lists, and other moments that we wanted to capture – there was a lot and I certainly wasn’t expecting to get everything. To my surprise, Toan made all my dreams come true and managed to fit everything I hoped for, even when we were running low on time. He gave us clear prompts to make sure everyone looked their best in the photos and mixed things up so we could have lots of options to look back on. His communication with his partner was excellent so that everything flowed smoothly and there were multiple perspectives – like for the first look, wedding party photos, and first dance.
Most importantly, I trusted Toan wholeheartedly with his vision and his skill to execute that vision to perfection. His close-up shots were romantic and intimate. His wide-angle shots were majestic and grand. He worked with the natural lighting to create diverse works of art – giving us glowing sunset shots, dramatic portraits, and bright fairytale moments.
After the wedding, our photos were ready to view in just 2 weeks! We’re currently going through our nearly 2k photos to select many for further retouching/editing.
Overall, I would absolutely recommend Toan to all my friends, family, everyone! Everything about our experience with him was so professional, well thought out, and worth every penny. Our big day is over, but we’ll treasure these beautiful pictures forever! -

This is going to be very cheesy but I've been following Toanven photography for ages, ever since I saw them do wedding photos for one of my friends back in the days. I would always bug Toan by asking "when you gonna do my wedding photos?" He'd ask "when you getting married?" Then I always had to say "okay I'll let you know when that happens". So, finally I asked him like "hey I'm getting married, and I wanted to see if you were available to do my wedding photos?" He checked his calendar, and told me yes he was available !!!
I was very happy and excited because I was able to get the photographer I wanted for my big day; and of course that he was available as well. I really loved the way he captured all the moments and he knew how to fix things if needed as well. I was able to get him for the whole day (8 hours), and it was a great experience. Honestly you cannot go wrong with him.
I've been recommending others of my friends as well about Toanven Photography. -

I saw Toan and his team at my sister's wedding and noticed their punctuality, professionalism, and passion as a photographer. I requested them for my wedding and so glad I did. My wife and I don't know much about posing for photos. Toan and his team respectfully giving us advices which made the photos looked very elegant and stylish. My friends told me they wished they knew about Toan and his team when they got married. I was fortunate to find them and wanted to share with anyone who is planning to get married. You can check off on the list for photographers for your wedding now. You're welcome!! -

Toan was the best wedding photographer ever. He was very patient and gentle working with all of my wedding party and guests. The pictures turned out beautiful and everyone had a great time! All of my wedding party complimented Toan and his professional and interpersonal skills. He helped me, the bride, to feel at ease during all the stress of the wedding. -

best photographer!!!
We hired Toanven photography to capture our big day/Chinese tea ceremony. He took more than 1300 pictures by himself for 8 hours for 3 locations. He is the best photographer and definitely worth the price. Toan is very professional and experienced. He guided us on how to pose and he knew the best angle and location to take the perfect pictures. He sent us all pictures back 1 week after our wedding. Strongly recommend him with no regrets !!! -

Years ago, I had the pleasure of working with Toan during a wedding in which I styled hair for the bride/bridesmaids. Toan and his crew left a lasting impression for their kindness, professionalism, and great photos. When I got engaged, I knew I would be reaching out to Toanven Group. I am so happy we went with them! Since Toanven is well established in the Bay Area, they also previously worked with our videographers. The two teams worked in harmony and made documenting our wedding day run so smoothly. I appreciated that Toan and his team communicated well throughout the day and ensured that we followed our timeline. Additionally, since my now husband and I are so awkward in front of the camera, having Toan and his team pose us, even in the slightest of details, ensured that we had great photos. We received proofs of our wedding photos just a mere two weeks after our wedding and we are so happy with the results. -

Amazing experience with Toan Wedding Photohraphy
Toan's passion for photography is very admirable and refreshing! We had Toan to capture our wedding in Carmel,CA(May'22). Let me start by Toan's effortless and seemingly effective detailing. In our first meeting, he explained all the steps and what expectations we can set. We loved the photographs and all the beautiful moments he captured. His photography reflects his unparalleled skills and enthusiasm. He has his way to capture kids, I loved my niece photographs(who's 3 years). It was such an amazing experience to work with him. Toan photography is the perfect choice to capture anyone's important day. Highly recommended to all who can afford! There are some high resolutions pics which I can't attach here, but you get the idea. -

We did both our engagement and wedding photos with Toan and Danny. Our engagement photos were taken on a foggy day in SF, whereas our wedding photos were on a sunny day in Pleasanton. Both set of engagement and wedding photos are stunning, unique and artistic. Needless to say, both my husband and I are thrilled with the results!
We communicated with Toan through text, email and phone calls. He was very professional and always on time and responded in a timely manner. He’s also very passionate and dedicated to his work, as you can see from his photos. I highly recommend Toan and his team for wedding photography! -

Hands down, the best photographer! Toan has given us a little peace of our wedding that my wife and I can cherish forever. When we first met him, he told us about himself to help us familiarize who he is and his work. It’s easy to feel shy around the camera but Toan prepared us and gave us the best advice to getting the best candid memories of us, our family and friends.
On the day of our wedding, he only had great vibes and energy through out. I love that he made everyone feel comfortable and that we can be ourselves around him while still being professional.
Every time we go back to our photos, it’s like we’re reliving the moment again and it’s all thanks to Toan! -

Booking Toanven Photography was the best decision we made for our wedding celebrations. We booked Toan for our engagement photos and our wedding day. Our engagement session was super fun and our wedding day was even better. Toan is the ultimate professional and helped make our wedding day so fun and easy. He made us comfortable in front of the camera, fixed our posture and blown-out-of-place bangs, corralled our chaotic family members and friends, made thoughtful suggestions all day, and helped to keep us and our timeline on track. He brought along 2 extra shooters on our wedding day to capture all our memories. Our guests and vendors loved him!
Before the wedding, I sent Toan some example shots of locations I liked around the venue. Boy, did he understand the assignment! His photos turned out even more impressive than the examples. He and his team shot a wide range of different poses in each location and more. I don't know how they captured such unique angles, but I'm so happy they did! We got sneak peeks a couple days after the wedding and we got our pictures back 2 weeks after that. Super fast! Note, these are the original images, we were able to choose photos for editing/retouching from there.
We were blown away by how our wedding photos came out. He captured the moments, the details, and the emotions perfectly. The venue seemed to look and photograph better on the day of our wedding, than on the day that we booked the venue! His photography is stunning, timeless, and romantic. We've gotten so many compliments from our friends and family and can't wait to hang our wedding photos up in our home.
If you want an awesome photographer who is easy and fun to work with, book Toan! We are so happy he was our wedding photographer. -

Toan was INCREDIBLE. he spent 12 hours with us on our wedding day and captured every moment that we wanted to remember. He confidently directed our large family and friends to take all the group photos and then helped just me and my husband look natural in countless different poses. He made it so that we didn’t have to think about those details on the day; we could trust we were in the best of hands.
Toan was almost giddy with excitement as he found new places to photograph us in San Francisco. It was obvious he was a true artist and was passionate about his work, getting energy from curating the most magical of scenes.
Our edited photos came back in just a few weeks. They were better than we could’ve dreamed. Too many great ones to choose from! And all throughout, Toan was a delight to work with. He listened to what we wanted, offered guidance where we needed it, and made the whole process a blast. Hiring Toan was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. -

Toan's team is amazing to work with. First, we got their 8 hour package and Toan was always very responsive and reassured that his team would do their best in giving us a day we will always be able to remember. His response time was always quick and he was accommodating.
We were lucky enough to work with Trieu and Danny who are amazing photographers through and through. They would use whatever is in the environment to get a perfect still whether it be lively or dramatic. They taught us how to pose and really helped us ease into the day. Our wedding was at Stanford, and they were able to capture some amazing photos of us in the church. Our friends who married recently noticed how professional and great they were and commented that they wished they used this team for their own weddings. It was great working with them and I couldn't recommend them more for your special occasion. -

Toan was amazing to work with for both our engagement and wedding shoot! He was really good at directing and guiding us and made us feel super comfortable (given neither of us had much experience posing for nice photos). We also really appreciated how soon he got back to us for the initial and final edits. A true professional with creative shots and just such a nice personal touch through the whole process. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone! -
