    Xuong with happy photos took our engagement photos and they turned out beautifully. He was a pleasure to work with and he really took the time to make sure we were getting what we wanted.

    What a perfect day we had with Happy Photos at our wedding! They provided us with all the options we needed and made everything easy for us. I would recommend them to all my friends and family.

    I was originally having a small wedding and using a family friend but after meeting Xuong and having him explain what my photographer needs to know about my specific venue had me scared. What if it came out bad? What if she doesn't know how to film with glass everywhere. My fiancé decided that maybe we should go with Xuong. I just left my engagement shoot and I am beyond happy I went with happy photos. He knew my other concerns and went out of his way to find me help to make sure my special day is perfect. He made us feel really comfortable and walked us through every step! He will definitely be my future photographer for every journey I am about to endure. Wedding, maternity, family, holidays etc... I recommend him to everyone!!!

    Working with Happy Photos was a wonderful experience. There are no words to describe the beauty that Xuong created in our pictures. If you want someone who puts his heart and soul into every image he shoots, this is that man. The softness and love was delivered in each photo. Our engagement book came out unbelievable. Everyone at our wedding was impressed and could only say they have never seen such amazing work. We can't wait to see our wedding pictures. Your the best Xuong.

    I can't say enough good things about our photographers from Happy Photos. They were so great to work with! They were both so friendly and shared in the joy of the day. They were terrific with the kids, moving large groups around, and accommodating changes in the timeline on the fly. They really thought on their feet and worked hard to make the night go seamlessly. And like great photographers … they worked quietly and were hardly seen -- true photo ninjas! They did an incredible job!

    Xuong was amazing!!! He was so easy to work with. He was never pushy (like some photographers can be). He even came out the next morning to take additional pictures. Happy Photos was the best! I would recommend them to anyone.
    What blew me away is he had a slideshow within moments that our guest could view during the reception. Two words...Simply Wonderful...

    I HIGHLY reccomend happy photos! Xuong & his team are so awesome! They listen to exactly what you want & the results are gorgeous. Xuong went out of his way to make sure my husband & I were happy at all times. The amount & quality of his pictures are unbelievable. As a bride, I did a lot of research to find the perfect photographer. All the time paid off! I couldn't be happier! He got every shot I needed & was very quick with sending me all of the images. From one happy bride to another... Choose happy photos.

    Xuong and his team at Happy Photos really made our day. They were very professional and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We were married in Balboa Park in San Diego and he was able to take pictures at many of the wonderful spaces there. We were really impressed with Happy Photos!

    Xuong and Margie are very professional and easy to work with! Xuong's photography skills are amazing... Til this day my wedding photos and engagement photos still get alot of compliments (This year will be my 10 year wedding anniversary). When it came to my photos I wanted to make sure they were perfect and it was well worth every penny that I spent to get photographed by Happy Photos. My advice is that you make sure you tell them exactly what you want (Don't be shy) and understand the total cost of your entire package.

    I can't speak highly enough about Happy Photos. Our wedding was in 2005 but we've staying in contact with Xuong ever since. They made our wedding day so easy. They let us know what to expect before hand and were a key part of making the day so great.
    I should also point out that they're very patient. I might be the worst person to photograph ever. During our engagement photo session, we took photos at the beach in Corona del Mar. For whatever reason, my eyes were closed in nearly every shot but Xuong hung in there (way longer than I would have if I were him) and was able to get some amazing photos that are in our home to this day.

    If you're looking for photographers, make sure to meet with them. You'll see, like we did, that they're amazing photographers and even better people.

    Xuong was great!! We had Xuong do our engagement photos as well as our wedding. He has an extensive product list with add ons that can be customized for every one. He was great to work with, patient with us as well as our crazy wedding guest. He knows how to position you and your significant other in just the right way so that he can get the perfect shot. We couldn't have asked for anyone better!! Thanks Xuong! - Kevin and Tera

    We came to Happy Photos after my cousin used Happy Photos for her wedding. Xoung is so easy to work with and an amazing photographer. Xoung took our engagement pictures and those came out great! At the wedding we had two photographers and they were there basically there entire night taking tons of pictures but were never in anyones way. I'm glad we used Happy Photos!

    Xuong is amazing, the photos that I have from my wedding are absolutely breathtaking! I cannot wait to send them to all my extended family and friends who were not able to make the trip out to California. He really listened to what type of look and feel I wanted and the pictures proved it.

    Xoung was a great photographer. He was very flexible with our engagement photo session (we kept cancelling and rescheduling). On our wedding day he showed up an hour early and began taking photos. He was also very patient with all the girls and I because we took so long to get ready, we were an hour off schedule! During the reception he had set up a screen with the engagement photos, post-ceremony/pre-ceremony photos, everyone loved them and they were beautiful! He was never in the way of any dancing or major events, but got great photos of all of them! And every time I asked him for a specific photo, he would gather all the people for me. Overall, great photographer, very patient and helpful!

    I am glad that I chose Happy Photos because Xuong our photographer was great and the photographs are beautiful! It was a pleasant experience because he would answer my excess number of calls and emails and always seemed so helpful. Xuong was also easy to work with and gave us exaclty what we wanted. Also, it is a good thing that he only does photography because he does it very well.
