Local Photography in Santa Clara, CA

Changing Lives With One Click At A Time AllanKuoPhotography.com For me, witnessing a wedding is the greatest honor of being a photographer. Whether in rustic backyards or grand ballrooms, the greatest story is told through the couple and the lens that captures their most powerful moments. I take pride in skill, but most of all, commitment. Some say patience is a virtue; however, commitment transcends time. Commitment to my craft, commitment to honoring the couple, commitment to making their day one to remember. From the Monterey seas to the golden hills of Napa County, I travel to preserve memories. From hilarious happenings to once-in-a-lifetime moments, I strive to capture life's most meaningful memories. Destination to local, I do it all. My years as a wedding and lifestyle photographer have given me a keen eye, deep professionalism and creativity. I shoot in cities ranging from the Monterey Bay Area to Santa Cruz and surrounding areas, as well as the South Bay (Los Gatos, San Jose, Marin County, San Francisco and Mill Valley), and the East and North Bay (Fremont, Oakland, Berkeley, Napa and Wine County).

Hi my name is Eli, I've been capturing the magic of life for over 15 years. I am committed to making sure that you love every single photo I take.

Go to my website for contact info! Looking for an experienced photographer who makes you feel comfortable, feel your best and poses you just right? I'm your girl! I take a variety of posed and candid photos from engagements to weddings, family, maternity, and even newborn in-home sessions. I make the experience fun for everyone, or so I've heard! By the end of the session, we'll be lifelong friends. :) I learned portrait and wedding photography from my own wedding photographer and then took online courses to do it professionally. With background from being an elementary school teacher for a few years, I know how to direct people to position well and make children feel comfortable smiling. People are always my focal point. I love to capture the best of you and do it in the most beautiful locations. Whatever requests you have for your photos, I'll try my best to make it happen and add my own artistic touch. My process: 1. Learn your expectations for what you want in your photos and see if we’re the right fit. 2. Determine the location/Price: Local, SF, beach or other nature spots? Your house? You decide. Depending on the location, I may have a travel fee. 3. When? I plan to meet you generally one hour before sunset as that is the best lighting for photography. It is also known as golden hour! 4. Length? A one hour session is generally enough time for portrait photography. I take as many photos as we can with a variety of poses and candid portraits considering your “best features” to have the best collection of photos. You may choose to add on time and have outfit changes if you like as well! 5. What you’ll get: I select the best photos out of the almost five hundred to a thousand I take! In the end I'll edit and deliver at least 65 high resolution edits in a "classic" look that has a warmer, but original coloring and touch up the lighting. Next, I put my signature filter on the photos! You’ll have both a timeless and trendy look on your images. Delivery: online photo sharing website I email you a link where you can view the photos and download the highest quality edits. These photos can be downloaded from any computer and to google drive or uploaded to your favorite photo printing website. Contact me via my website! :)
