When my engagement photographer cancelled on me 48 hours before my proposal, I flipped out. Quickly got on Thumbtack to see if I could find a photographer last minute. Allan responded and within an hour I booked him after his quick response and looking at his stellar work. My fiancé and I are in love with the photos, we are so impressed honestly. He stayed hidden until the moment, we barely noticed him. After the proposal, he took us on a private photoshoot and was easy to work with, gave great cues but also allowed us to have our own input. Allan has great vision, and mad editing skills. If you need an engagement shoot, hit up this guy!

About Allan Kuo Photography
Changing Lives With One Click At A Time AllanKuoPhotography.com For me, witnessing a wedding is the greatest honor of being a photographer. Whether in rustic backyards or grand ballrooms, the greatest story is told through the couple and the lens that captures their most powerful moments. I take pride in skill, but most of all, commitment. Some say patience is a virtue; however, commitment transcends time. Commitment to my craft, commitment to honoring the couple, commitment to making their day one to remember. From the Monterey seas to the golden hills of Napa County, I travel to preserve memories. From hilarious happenings to once-in-a-lifetime moments, I strive to capture life's most meaningful memories. Destination to local, I do it all. My years as a wedding and lifestyle photographer have given me a keen eye, deep professionalism and creativity. I shoot in cities ranging from the Monterey Bay Area to Santa Cruz and surrounding areas, as well as the South Bay (Los Gatos, San Jose, Marin County, San Francisco and Mill Valley), and the East and North Bay (Fremont, Oakland, Berkeley, Napa and Wine County).

Had a great experience with Allan! The photos came out beautifully and he was easy to work with. Thank you Allan!
The photos were absolutely gorgeous! Totally worth it. He was also very professional and had a good eye for shots. Thank you!!!!!
Allan was an absolute pleasure to work with for my engagement photoshoot. Very attentive, responsive, and produced fantastic shots. Would highly recommend!
Allan did an amazing job capturing the precious moments of our wedding day. He had a great eye for choosing beautiful spots and backgrounds. He guided us through poses in a way that felt completely natural, helping us look our best while still keeping everything relaxed and authentic. He was easy to work with and made us feel at ease the whole time. The final pictures turned out great. He captured not only the big moments, but also all the small, candid details that made the day meaningful.
Allan was great to work with and can’t recommend enough. I used him for an engagement photo session that was a surprise for my fiancée. Allan made it easy to coordinate the surprise meetup and was also helpful in offering his advice on locations and timing. Most importantly - We’re both super happy with the results!
Allan took our maternity photos and captured one of the most precious chapters of our lives!We loved his work. He had attention to details, could find the best scenes to take the pictures and he guided us through the poses really well. Definitely recommend him and will hire him again!
Allan was very flexible with ideas and was able to shoot our surprise proposal photos over 1 mile down a trail, really appreciate that effort!
Allan was awesome to work with. He was super responsive throughout the entire process. He made proposing in a very unfamiliar place seamless. I would highly recommend Allan to anyone looking for an easy to work with photographer.
Allan was so easy to work with and very prompt and on time with everything! He worked well with our small/not super photogenic space due to rain keeping us inside. We'll definitely work with Allan again!
He was amazing! Got married in March and he was our photographer. Super easy to work with, really helpful even with things he didn't have to help with. And just got some amazing shots! Dude really has an eye. Definitely recommend him, and will use him again for other events!
We hired Allan for our engagement shoot first, we had never done this before, he was super helpful directing us towards poses that we both feel comfortable and good about. Later we hired Allan again for our wedding photos, of course it was a chaotic day, but Allan was very efficient, captured many lovely candid moments, and very professional, helped us with some formal portraits that we'll cherish forever. Both times the photos turned out lovely and we enjoyed very much working with him!
We had a great time working with Allan for our newborn photo shoot! He had great ideas and suggestions since we were new to this (as is our baby!), so I really appreciated how he led the session. 10/10 would recommend!
Allan came to photograph my son’s wedding reception. He was extremely personable and put everyone at ease. He had great suggestions and the pictures came out really great!! I would wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone.
I needed some photographs for a magazine article, and reached out to Allan about the job. He gave me a fair price to take some photos of me near my work. Allan is a total professional who made the experience easier than I thought it would be. He’s very friendly and is happy to work with his clients to get them the best shot. I appreciate all that Allan did and would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer. He took some amazing shots of me that will accompany the article. Thanks, Allan!
Allan was great to work with. He was casual and friendly. Also, he was very honest in his recommendations. In many instances, he suggested things that would be best for us rather than making extra money out of us. He was open to discussing the styles we were comfortable working with. We really enjoyed the session and the output. We will definitely recommend Allan for photoshoots.
I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! Most importantly the photos look amazing, they look like they are straight out of a magazine. Allan captured the most beautiful moments of our wedding and we cannot be happier. Allan is very responsive and helped the day to be stress-free.
Allan is awesome!! I planned my own wedding, so I was very intimidated on the big day for everything to go as smoothly as possible. Allan stepped in and was such a big help keeping everyone on time and in place - even though he did not have to do that. He is a joy to work with an the photos he took are beautiful! I'm so thankful that he was part of our best day and I cannot recommend him enough! I will definitely be working with Allan again! Thank you so much!!!
Allan was super responsive and setting up our maternity shoot was a breeze. He was super efficient at the shoot and gave us great direction. We are so, so happy with how the photos turned out!
Allan was GREAT. It only allowed me to choose 3, professionalism, work quality, responsiveness. However I would have chosen all 5 to include value and punctuality. I was a bit snippy on the day of because I wasn’t feel all the well on the yacht but Allan made me feel as ease and encouraged us to take pictures which I am so glad that he did! Thank you again Allan for providing us amazing pictures and top notch professionalism!
