3 Best Wedding Photographers in Santa Clara, CA

My husband and I hired Tom for our small wedding ceremony this past December and couldn’t recommend him enough. Our entire wedding was planned within just a couple of months and we were so pleasantly surprised that Tom had availability on our date. I had reached out to a couple different photographers that I came across on and Tom’s style seemed to align the best with what we were looking for. He worked with us beforehand to figure out all the family photos we wanted, and he was so helpful on the actual day to round everyone up for these photos. It was great that he was able to take charge because there was so much going on that it would have been a bit chaotic if I had to get everyone’s attention myself. Tom’s prices are very reasonable and he gives you the option of purchasing additional prints and albums without making you feel pressured. We will absolutely use Tom in the future and highly recommend him if you are looking for someone to capture the incredible moments for any special event.

Tom photographed my brother’s wedding and we were very impressed with his work, so we definitely wanted to utilize his services when we started planning our wedding. Tom was very professional and provided an enjoyable experience throughout entire process. He provided quick response time to all of our questions and was able to give advice on how to structure the photo timeline on our wedding day to make it go as smooth and stress free as possible. During our wedding day, Tom identified great and unique shots and gave good directions during our couple shots. He was able to get a lot of good candid shots during the reception along with all of the requested photos we asked for throughout the day. We are currently going through the process of designing our wedding album and were presented with a lot of options to choose from to customize the cover material, paper type, color, and design. We are very happy working with Tom for our wedding and would highly recommend him for anyone who is looking for high quality and memorable photos.

Tom Chen is an awesome photographer!!! My husband an I are extremely pleased with our wedding photos. We received a mix of formal portraits and in action shots. All of the photos were very organic and natural looking. On a more personal note, my husband is very photogenic. I however, make a weird squish face in basically any photo someone tells me to smile for. Tom takes his time with portraiture and I was surprised to see that he was able to capture squish face free shots. Tom is very easy to work with, and very personable. I highly recommend him.

Now that my husband and I have been married a year, we wanted to recommend Ed and his team to anyone looking into capturing their special day! We are so incredibly grateful for our wedding Ed! From start to finish, he hit all of our marks: affordable, easy to work with, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. He listened to what we hoped for, offered helpful suggestions, and made everything feel effortless on the big day. Our recap video turned out to be an absolute dream come true—it perfectly captured the joy, emotion, and beauty of our wedding. Every time we watch it, we're transported right back to those special moments. Ed and his partners talent and heart shine through in every frame. We also loved that he gave all of the raw footage as well! If you’re looking for someone who is professional, personable, and truly invested in making your memories last forever, look no further. Highly recommend.

Thorough, accommodating, professional and an awesome eye. Ed is the whole package. :-) He was our photographer for our brass ensemble's Holiday concert at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts (quadre.org). In addition to snapping shots throughout the performance from every possible angle, he took some wonderful candids before and after the show as well as a few portraits prior to the opening curtain. We have worked with a lot of photographers in our 24 year history. Ed did a superlative job!! What really set him apart was his followup before and after the show. Meeting with me and our managing director ahead of time to go over the shot list. And doing some retouching and edits of the shots that were taken to ensure that we were completely satisfied. Highly recommend him for your event.

I cannot recommend Ed enough. He shot my graduation photos and spent hours walking through campus with heavy equipment. He has a great eye and will educate you on how to pose to make it look most natural. I learned so much and my pictures turned out beautifully.
