COVERAGE + TRAVEL
I work mostly in the Northern California , however I also travel to different state or regions if requested .
Most of my wedding is free of travel within 120 miles of driving . I do charge an additional $0.5/ mile if it exceeds the 120 miles limit. Clients have responsibility to cover up hotel and any applicable travel fee if it is in different state or the location requires extensive traveling .
DO YOU OFFER WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHY ?
Yes, I offer both photography and videography service. I have collaborated with a lot of awesome and talented videographers in the pasts that can help you with the video . Please send me an email / reach out to me if you need your video covered.
WHAT PRIMARY PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE DO YOU IDENTIFY WITH?
Making photos at your wedding requires me to be excellent at several styles of wedding photography. In a typical wedding day there will be times where I will need to work in a contemporary style, a documentary style, a fine art style, or an editorial style. A wedding album isn’t complete without stunning portraiture, and Mom will kill you if we don’t get some traditional posed photos made. But if I have to label myself, I would say my work is a blend of documentary and contemporary portraiture.
WHEN WILL WE GET OUR WEDDING PHOTOs?
Wedding photos are processed immediately upon your wedding day and generally arrive 1-1.5 months after that. Because each wedding is unique, the amount of time to complete them can vary, but it’s sooooo worth the wait!

MY NAME IS HOANG DAO AND I AM A DESTINATION PHOTOGRAPHER & FILMMAKER
Hi, my name is Hoang Dao ( or Henry Dao ). I am a professional wedding photographer & filmmaker and have done weddings for several years in 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. I love to see my couple put actions with lots of natural 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.
