Tyler Vu Photography

Tyler is a talented and an excellent photographer. Him and his team were professional, friendly, and accommodating. We were very happy with our engagement and wedding pictures. Our amazing wedding album arrived on time. Tyler was a worthy investment.

I was the hairstylist for a wedding Tyler shot for. When my bride shared her pictures with me I could not believe how amazing the photos were. To every detail it was amazing. He got shots that any bride or person would want. I felt like I was at her wedding seeing all these pictures!
Pictures are probably the best investment to put more money into. They last a lifetime and tyler did and amazing job.

This review is so long overdue but better late than never! We had Tyler and his team work our wedding at Casa Real almost 1 year ago and he was phenomenal! Everything turned out so beautifully, from the décor to the catering– and we were so glad to have it captured wonderfully with his photos. We truly appreciated all the help we recieved in making our event so special and especially how flexible he was on the day-​of when we had changes in event times & locations. He even drove us personally to a near by open mustard field 10 minutes before our reception to get some great scenic pictures. Tyler and his entire team were all the utmost professionals. Through out the day’s events, we never felt overwhelmed or bothered by the photography and that was really important to us. Tyler also worked collaboratively with our videographer to capture everything simulatenoulsy and without delay. We are so glad to have worked with him and looking at our wedding albums, we can relive the big day over and over again! We would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking to capture thier special moments!

I had the pleasure to work with Tyler and his crew at a wedding at the end of July. He was fun to work with and knew exactly what was needed to get the best shot. He was professional and communicative which made my job so much easier. It was get to work with you Tyler I can’t wait to see the photos of the wedding! I’m sure they are amazing!

This review is SO long over-​due. I loved having Tyler as a photographer for my wedding. Not only does he take amazing pictures, he always goes above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied! Also, Tyler is extremely professional and is very easy to work with. I never had to wait for him to return emails or calls. Finally, Tyler is just an extremely kind and warm person to work with. I highly recommend Tyler Vu Photography.

This review has been long overdue! I chose Tyler because he had previously shot my sisters wedding and we loved the end product! We had Tyler for our engagement and wedding photography and the pictures turned out great! We are kind of awkward when it comes to taking pictures but he made us feel comfortable so the photos came out nice. Tyler does great candid shots and I think that’s where he shines the most. We made a special request to take some portrait shots to display on our wedding day and he was very accommodating. Overall, would highly recommend him as your photographer! He is extremely friendly and has artistic flare! Just as an FYI, he likes to «keep it real» so he does not do intense photoshop work on the pictures.

I would recommend Tyler to any bride/​groom in a heartbeat. From fabulous photographs (we have had friends comment that our candid previews look like stills from a movie!) to his friendly personality, Tyler exceeded everything we expected and wanted.
We picked Tyler because of his eye for the perfect candid shot. A glance at just a few of his pictures and you’re probably hooked but his personality and professionalism — from the event itself to the fact that every email was replied to within 12h! — is what seals the deal.
You’ll find the day of your photographer is who you spend the most time with… Tyler’s personality made it feel like we were just with a friend.
My only complaint is that he is already booked for my sister’s wedding! :(

Tyler & team are really wonderful. We took Tyler up to Tahoe for an engagement photo session — the pictures turned out great despite being his first snowy session. He is really focused and you can see how passionate he is. If there’s an angle or shot he wants, he works really hard to make sure he gets it. I call him a magician of light. We brought Tyler on for our wedding as well — and his team delivered beautiful moments that we relive over and over again. We received all 1100+ wedding photos about 2.5 months after the wedding. I highly recommend Tyler — professional, responsive, strong work ethic, beautiful photos.

We worked with Tyler and his team on a recent wedding in San Ramon. Tyler and his team were incredibly professional and easy to work with. They did an amazing job capturing the day and even sent me a handful of proofs within 48 hours of the event which I realllly appreciated. We absolutely loved working with them and can’t wait to work again in the future!

Working with Tyler Vu is always a great time. I’m not too comfortable on camera but he made me and my wife comfortable and always have a good time while shooting. He shot our engagement photos, wedding photos and now maternity photos. We always go back to Tyler because we know we will never be disappointed in his work. For our wedding it was a great experience. There’s so much going on during a wedding and he worked very professionally and captured every single moment. Our family still always raves about how great our engagement and wedding photos turned out and we can’t wait to see the maternity photos. He is an excellent photographer and person and I highly, highly recommend him.

Tyler is the most amazing photographer ever! His photos from our wedding left me speechless and in tears. I’ve been meaning to write this review forever now but life happened. Tyler was our photographer for my wedding back in July 2014. From the first day we met Tyler, him and my now husband clicked over something that had nothing to do with the wedding. Football lol. Tyler is so cool and down to earth, we knew immediately upon leaving our first meeting with him, he was the one! I can’t wait to get our album. I know he will make it amazing! We can’t wait to work with Tyler again. Maybe on maternity pics one day :). Love him!

If you want AMAZING photos then Tyler is your man! Tyler’s work is beautiful and he is truly an artist.
Hiring Tyler to shoot one of the most important days of my life was the best decision when it came to our engagement and wedding. Tyler is super friendly, funny, and has a great personality. He truly made us feel relax and comfortable which was really important as you want great pictures.
Everyone complimented on how beautiful and great our engagement and (a few) wedding pictures came out. Spend the money on him — you really get what you pay for which are absolutely beautiful images! Tyler and his team was able to capture every moment on my wedding day!
Thank you Tyler for your amazing work!!!

I saw Tyler Vu’s work when I attended a wedding earlier this year. I believe he was working beside a video team called Lightbulb Videography. Tyler Vu has shot for some of my friends weddings in the past and does amazing professional work. I will vouch for him as I’ve seen the turnout of some of the photos and was blown away by the results. He is definitely hard working and has an eye for photography. I will definitely hire him for my wedding in about 2 – 3 years. Keep up the great work Tyler and I hope you will be free for my wedding =)

My husband and I hired Tyler Vu for our wedding… which included engagement photos and wedding photos. He captured the most beautiful moments for us. All the photos we received from him melted my heart. He is such an amazing artist. He is professional, kind, and super friendly. We really enjoyed working with him and it doesnt hurt that he takes amazing photos! SO HAPPY WE HIRED HIM! Thank you Tyler!

Tyler is exceptional, talented, creative and professional. Tyler’s work is unique, timeless and tasteful. Since the wedding day can be so hectic and eventful Tyler has a way of capturing moments quickly and precisely without ever adding to the stress. At first I thought why is everything wedding so expensive. But seeing how hard Tyler’s team worked on the day of and many hours later editing our photos I realized the value of their dedicated work. Through out the course of the day, Tyler shot at a distance and capture all the real moments and was on point with every event and photo opportunity. We had the best combination of sentimental photos, portrait moments and photos with guests, family and décor that we spent so much money on (he capture it so well that it looked better than the real thing.) My husband hates taking photos and Tyler had a way of calming my husband down and posing and directing us. Before the wedding Tyler met with us and listen to what we wanted and what was important to us and the results of the photos were 10 times more than what we expected. Not only was he our photographer he was so helpful he should have been our wedding coordinator too! If anything he did a way better job guiding us through our day than our day of coordinator. Tyler we thank you for all you have done in cherishing our day forever!

Hiring Tyler was the best decision I’ve made for my wedding and I’m not over exaggerating. He is definitely more than just a photographer!
Being a bride and basically planning the whole (220 person) wedding myself is very stressful. Many things went wrong during my wedding day, but Tyler kept me sane. lol! Everyone else around me was so hectic but Tyler actually gave me a pep talk that made me stay calm. He was really professional and took lead on guiding us to the next location/​activity. He also helped us damage control on several instances and kept us moving. He definitely made my wedding smooth going.
His photography skills are also incredible! I had many people telling me how they thought my photographer was very talented and that he captured my wedding day very well. There were many artistic photographs that I LOVED!
Tyler really over exceeded my expectations and made me and my now husband a VERY happy couple. Pricing wasn’t ridiculously pricey and was definitely worth every penny. I would recommend him to anyone and he WILL make your wedding a lot more care free.
We can’t give enough thanks to Tyler. Thank you!

Looking at Tyler’s blog it’s easy to see that he takes a more artistic approach than average wedding photographer. Once my fiancée (now wife!) and I contacted Tyler to book him for our wedding, he arranged a Skype call and detailed exactly what was going to happen in a clear, well-​thought out manner. On the actual day, Tyler was incredibly professional, dealing with camera-​happy family-​members with ease; he did a great job making sure all the family group shots went smoothly and also put some great portraits of us together. We just received the photos and they are fantastic! Tyler really delivered. He was able to creatively capture special moments that one just doesn’t see in the typical wedding album. I unequivocally recommend Tyler Vu for his professionalism and as a great photographer!

Tyler Vu was awesome! He photographed my 300-​person wedding in San Jose in January. His price was the best of the the high-​quality photojournalistic photographers that we got quotes from (at least 5), and he was willing to work with us on the price, letting us substitute more hours on the day of the wedding instead of the engagement session, and more hi-​res photos instead of the album.
It took a few months to get all the photos back, but it was worth the wait. The photos were fantastic! Tyler really captured the emotions, energy, and fun of the day. My husband’s 99-​year-​old grandmother passed away one month after the wedding, and we were so grateful for the fantastic shots of her that Tyler got. (He even expedited the retouching of those photos so we could have them at the funeral.) We also just really LIKED Tyler and his crew. They got into the spirit of the party, donning sticky mustaches that we provided at the photo booth and having a good time. My only regret is that we didn’t pay for a few more hours to see how Tyler would have captured some of the after-​party antics… although maybe it’s best if we leave those to our imagination. ;0)

This review is a long time coming. My husband and I were married last year and we struggled with picking a photographer. It is one of the most important wedding decisions you can make as these photos are memories that will last a lifetime! We were referred to Tyler by a friend who had also used Tyler for her wedding.
From the first meeting, Tyler was professional, friendly, and clearly talented. The pictures on his website and blog speak for themselves. He is very gifted at what he does. We were thrilled to book him for our engagement shoot and for our wedding.
Tyler and his second shooter Calvin did the most amazing job for our engagement shoot and wedding. They didn’t mind us including our dog, in fact, they encouraged it! They took wonderful pictures of us in a beautiful outdoor setting which I will treasure forever. Tyler is extremely generous with his time and definitely goes the extra mile. He was crawling through high grass and bushes not to mention the dirt! The photos are amazing and he helped us feel more comfortable in front of the camera. He made outfit recommendations as well as helping to pose us. As awkward scientists we really appreciated this!
Our wedding day was magical and Tyler captured all the love, happiness, and joy while somehow leaving out the stressful moments that I’d prefer to forget anyway :) He was great with the posed family shots and also captured amazing candids and detail shots that I never even noticed! Every time I look at the pictures, I can relive the happiest day of my life because his pictures captured our emotions perfectly. And really, what more can you ask for in a photographer?

My wife and I got married last year and we had Tyler and his team as our photographers. My wife heard of him by word of mouth, and we checked out the pictures on his web-​site. We continued looking around but kept coming back to his web-​site because his pictures just seemed to be the most dynamic, clearly evoking an emotion, a vibe. There was always something to catch your eye and imagination in each picture.
What he does to a single picture he also does to a whole album. For our wedding pictures he managed to create a narrative from the beginning of the day to the end, capturing the emotional content of each part of the day. The wedding album doesn’t read as a bunch of pictures to be viewed individually, but you connect one page to the next and so the individual pictures give meaning to the whole.
We even got to see a bit of his editing skills as he gave us a few pre-​edited photos he had since we wanted to send a few to family members right away. Somehow he really gets colors to pop out.
He was absolutely professional from the moment we met, and continues to be even almost a year later. He’s accommodating, listens to your ideas and provides his own without imposing them.
