“Because of the thrill of each wedding day being a unique experience ! ”
I never expected to be as fortunate as I am, to get to wake up every morning and do what I love. I have an unbelievably amazing wife, partners and mentors with whom I get to share all these wonderful experiences. To me, the current wedding market is too heavily focused on branding and marketing-- somewhere along the line, I think everyone forgot that wedding photography is about caring deeply for the amazing people we get to work with. Capturing all those wonderful moments that make up a wedding! You have to do this job because you love it!
MY NAME IS HOANG DAO AND I AM A DESTINATION PHOTOGRAPHER & FILMMAKER
Hi, my name is Henry Dao and I am a professional wedding photographer. This is my passion and profession which I have found in love with shooting weddings. This beautiful journey have fulfilled me for 9 years shooting wedding over the world. To me, doing a wedding is not just a job but also one of the kind experience and joys that no other job can bring up.
Working with me is not like working with other photographers. My philosophy is to help you feel welcome and have the best experience. Because of that, I always pay 100% and beyond to figure out what you need and how could I help you to achieve your wedding dream!
I love capturing a moment in time that will become a memory forever for you. I love to see my couples put action with lots of natural and fun movement. I’d love to document your love, the people you hold close, the scenery, the details, the feelings, the laughs, the drunk kisses, the happy tears, and everything in between. Something so precious, that you will hold so close to your heart for generations to come. To remember yourselves that way forever.
With that being said, my photography style is timeless. I love movement, romance, and laughter in my work. I’m all about the candid, not posed, natural look in my images. I feel they best document who my couples are from the way they laugh, kiss, and embrace one another.
Every second of our lives offers an opportunity for seeing life’s moments through a new lens. It is my privilege to be a part of this process with my clients.
My Approaching
HOW I APPROACH WEDDINGS…
HOW I APPROACH SESSIONS…
I like it when my couples solely focus on each other, and just pretend I’m not even there.
I love it when my couples play around together, attack each other with neck kisses, give each other booty grabs, or just whisper funny shit in each other’s ears!
I don’t want you worrying about where to place your hands, how to move, or how your hair looks. I’ll guide you, and it will feel natural. Instead, I want you feeling relaxed and consumed in your love.
By the end of it, you’ll naturally be holding hands, kissing, and laughing...creating those real, heart-warming photos.
I’ve got you. You can trust me.
When I document weddings, I photograph them with your future babies in mind.
I focus on the connection you + your love share, the people you hold close, and the details of the place you chose to say “I do”.
I’m here for you, guiding you, focusing on your timeline, so you don’t have too. Each step from the moment you're lacing up your dress, to the end of the night when you're hopping into your getaway car and driving off to your honeymoon!
You can trust me to capture all those beautiful memories for you.
Beyond the awesomeness, Henry made our wedding so fun and memorial
Henry was awesome ! He called me the day before the wedding and was so sweet and accommodating. My husband and I have a few ideas for locations and Henry made it clear that he was happy to go wherever we wanted and could decide day off. He was a pro at navigating some of the best locations in the area and made it feel at ease in front of the camera. Neither of us had ever taken professional photos before and Henry’s energy was great. He had us laughing and dancing and before we knew it, we had some really amazing photographs. We are so pleased with the final set and completely shocked with the turnaround time. Thank you so much, Henry !
