It was such a pleasure meeting and with Thanh and his wife for our family photoshoot! Although it was freezing at Sanborn County Park, they made our experience so much fun. We loved every photo! It was a gloomy day and Thanh (through his skill and equipment) made it look as if the sun was shining down on us! We highly recommend his services!! 📸📸📸

Reviews
Thanh was a nice guy and took some nice pictures of me, my daughter and my mom for her birthday. Some photos were not the greatest due to the angle it was taken and not much photo editing, but overall okay work.
Thanh captured my vision, added to that vision and executed the perfect graduation photoshoot of my dreams. Even though my shoot was booked for only 2 hours, Thanh had the patience to ensure that a few unplanned hiccups didn't affect our timing. He had plenty of options and visual examples of angles, poses and photo ops for me to choose from during the shoot which calmed my 1st professional photoshoot nerves. Overall, from the initial inquiry to the planning to the shoot and then editing - every aspect felt seamless and exactly as I'd hoped. Thank you, Thanh, for your patience, professionalism and good humor throughout it all! I'd 1000% book again and recommend to friends for any occasion.
Thanh was amazing! I hired him for a surprise proposal in the Monterey area and he was great! He took photos of me and my now fiancée as I was proposing and we took more photos in the area. He gave suggestions as to where we should go and he did not disappoint! After taking pictures at Asilomar Gazebo we went to Perkins Park wherein there were beautiful flowers! My fiancée and I absolutely love the pictures he took! Another thing I like about Thanh is that he uploaded the pictures online within a few hours of taking them. I appreciate his craft in his photography and also his clear communication. I highly recommend his services!
Thanh was excellent to work with! I had less than a week to get new professional headshots done before starting with a new company, and Thanh was professional, prompt and clear with communications and very easy to coordinate with pre-photoshoot, during and after. Even though I only needed 3 images edited for work, some of my favorites ended up being more candid, outdoor lifestyle images. Highly recommend! Professional, kind, easy to work with and extremely prompt with excellent quality images.
Went above and beyond. Cared for good photos and the results speak for themselves
Thanh was amazing to work with. He responds quickly and even helped me select best proposal location and was very knowledgeable; exceeding my expectations for the proposal turn out. He was on time, flexible and partnered well with another company I hired to set up proposal scene. He also took a ton of photos at no extra charge. Photos came out amazing and his use of drone footage really elevates the moment! I would def recommend trusting him with any life event especially proposals.
We had an amazing experience with Tan! He took our son’s senior portrait photos and family photos and they turned out fantastic! He was very easy to work with, and made us feel comfortable. Will be using Tan again!
Thanh captured such special moments of our celebration with great attention to detail and his work is amazing!
Thanh Trinh is an incredibly gifted photographer! He captured my Halloween Reception party with dramatic images. He has top of the line equipment and is talented. He has a fun professional personality and does a wonderful job! I recommend him and will be hiring him for future events!
Thanh Trinh was extremely communicative and professional. He was a delight to work with and was punctual for not one, but two events we had planned. He knew what to look for in moments during the event to get that perfectly framed photo. He not only had a camera to capture those moments, but his use of a drone was also a neat touch and provided a unique point of view. All-in-all I would definitely hire Thanh Trinh again if I ever have future events to come.
Thanh is an amazing photographer! Before the event, he’s really responsive. during the event, I appreciate his punctuality. Im amazed by his professionalism and the quality of his work. We really appreciate his work and dedication to capture important moments during our wedding. He is very friendly too! We both love and grateful for him during our most memorable day!
Excellent work quality, very friendly and made me feel comfortable, kind and professional. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great photographer
We hired Thanh for a small job, to record a wedding ceremony. He showed up early, and gave us an ok price on the service ($300). We coordinated with him just to provide the raw video. I did the editing myself later in order to save a bit of money. This was the best deal I was able to get anywhere. I appreciate that the gear is expensive, and he had to travel out to the venue to record it. On his own he managed 3 cameras (2 on tripods, one handheld). That’s all fine. We got the video. Whatever. I have a hard time writing a bad review, but there were some major issues that would make me not recommend working with Thanh, especially for a wedding. 1. Communication strike 1: I got a bad feeling from the beginning, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. It did not get better though. Thanh’s messages were very difficult to read/interpret. I thought he was being a bit of jerk. At first thought it was the language barrier, but then I realized it was not. I asked for a contract, which he did give me after I asked for it, but he made it seem like it was such an inconvenience for him. Idk. You be the judge. Is it a hassle to ask a professional videographer for a contract? I just wanted to make sure the guy is going to show up. Just fill out your template and send it to me. 2. Communication Strike 2: A wedding is stressful because there are many different things that need to be coordinated in time. It's your special day, and the last thing you need is someone giving you sass or negativity on your wedding day. The day before and day of the wedding I emailed with a couple clarifying questions and pieces of information. It was spread across 3 very short emails (because I was sending them as I thought of things). That’s not ideal, but also shouldn’t be a big deal. His response was “man. it's just an hour work. normally I didn't need a contract and many emails like this. it's easy. I will be there early”. Trust me. You do not want to get an email like this from someone you pay on your wedding day! I didn’t even mention it to my wife until after the wedding, because I didn’t want to suck her into the stress of dealing with this guy. 3. He required payment the day of the wedding. How is that supposed to work? I put the money in an envelope for him. I gave the money to a friend. I emailed him the phone number of my friend. He clearly ignored this because my friend received no contact, and he was still asking me for the money. So I pulled out my phone while sitting at the sweetheart table next to my bride, and sent him the money via Venmo. Might seem like a small thing, but think of it this way. All in, the wedding cost $100/min. That's not a very expensive wedding. And I probably spent 2 min sending him Venmo. 4. Blurry footage: It’s expected that not all the video would be perfect, and that’s why he recorded from 3 cameras. There were some key moments that were not in focus from any angle, most importantly the recessional, and the main camera for the vows! In his own words “It’s easy”. And it is. All he had to do was use manual focus when the subject is at a set distance. When I asked if there was any way to repair the blurry footage, he said "just delete it". mk. Thanks... 5. Audio: It’s one of the things I tried to clarify with him ahead of time. I didn’t know where he was going to put the mic. I figured it would have to be something small that would go on under my shirt or something. Or maybe he would coordinate with the DJ to record the audio from the handheld mic. So I didn’t hear from him until we were standing at the door waiting to walk down the aisle. Then he approached me without saying anything and trying to put this big bulky mic on me with a bright green light on it. He tried to attach it to my pocket, and shoved my carefully folded pocket square into my pocket in an effort to make room for the mic. I was like “what the heck dude?” I have the same comment as for the blurry footage. He said “It’s easy”, so why did it seem so difficult for him. Not very organized. Not very respectful or positive. Not an excellent videographer. I see a lot of good reviews, but I don’t really get it. Sorry bud. At least these are easy things to improve, if you care to.
We loved having Thanh for our wedding ceremony, he was amazing and did such a beautiful job!! He was so nice and respectful of our culture. We would work with him again
Trinh Thành is an excellent photographer.
We had the pleasure working with Thanh for our Independence Day Celebration Concert, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Thanh’s professionalism and positive attitude truly set the tone for the event. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of the photos and videos, Thanh was an absolute joy to work with. His easy-going nature and excellent communication made the entire process seamless. He listened attentively to our needs and preferences, ensuring that he captured every important moment with precision and creativity. Throughout the event, Thanh demonstrated a remarkable ability to blend into the background while still capturing the essence of the celebration. His attention to detail and passion for his craft were evident in every shot he took. We are thankful for Thanh’s incredible work and dedication to making our event memorable.
Thanh spent a full two hours taking pictures of my family- the pictures turned out beautifully. We especially loved Thanh’s use of light. It was really helpful to have a lot of pictures to choose from in different poses since my 3 kids are young and don’t always look at the camera. Thanh knew the area well where we took pictures, so he knew where the shots would look great. He was punctual and professional, and helpful with my kids.
I had great experience working with Thanh for my portfolio profile photos in the San Mateo and Santa Clara county. Thanh accommodated my requests from the concept ideas to the location suggestions to make everything work out as planned. Thanh was professional, punctual, flexible, patient and went out of his ways to capture best moments and deliver the high work quality even though time flew faster than expected. He directed through the poses, communicated well, and suggested to make things go smoothly. He has genuine care, dedication, and interests for the end products. We had fun times doing the shoots. Price was reasonable in the Bay Area. I definitely recommend him for your professional photoshoots.
Thanh was great. He paid attention to all the details. Friendly and enthusiastic!
