Feedback:

The prime rib and pasta is more like stew or stroganoff. Not good. We expected a prime rib!Gave us a $10 coupon and apologized but dinner was a big disappointment.

Feedback:

I wish I could give more than five stars...this team of photographers and videographers are the best! We were so impressed by their level of professionalism but also how personable they were with our guests. We couldn't be happier with our choice to have 1314 studios at our event!

Feedback:

PLEASE READ!!!Find another photographer who is honest, who answers emails and actually cares about the finished product!! Spend your hard earned money somewhere else!My fiance and I are very disappointed in the service we received from Khoa at 1314 Studios following our engagement photo shoot. Before I go into the details of what the issue is, I will acknowledge the fact that we were late to the shoot due to unforeseen circumstances (makeup artist going over her time & an accident which caused traffic). Khoa accommodated us by giving us more time to complete the shoot. We appreciate his willingness to do that and we've expressed our gratitude to him. Here's the problem, which we realized AFTER receiving our photos: During the shoot, Khoa did not communicate any changes that we should have made to make the photos look more polished. After taking each photo he would look at his camera and review it, and he failed communicate some MAJOR problems that ended up affecting the look of the majority of our photos. Make up was completely rubbed off a portion of my fiance's forehead and he didn't say anything even though it is blatantly obvious in the photos. IT GET'S WORSE: Khoa sent us our photos a few days later with the obvious discoloration on my fiance's face. As we scrolled through the pictures, we were shocked at the fact that he didn't deem it necessary to SAY SOMETHING about it during the shoot. We reached out to him and he initially said there's nothing he can do about editing the photos. Then he offered to give us a re-do of the shoot for 1 hour. That was about 2 months ago. This re-do has never happened. Since then, we have not heard from Khoa. He is not responding to our emails and his DISHONESTY and LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE are deplorable. Why offer something to your customers who have already paid you $500 if you have zero intention of honoring your word? Again folks, spend your hard earned money elsewhere. Now we have to spend more money to have our engagement photos edited or retaken.

Feedback:

Khoa was absolutely fantastic, so happy we went with him. He went above and beyond our expectations with his time and effort. He had so many creative ideas and really hustled to get a ton of different pictures in throughout the wedding. Would recommend him in a heartbeat!

Feedback:

Khoa and his team were great! They have a great website and it showcases their style beautifully. Khoa is very responsive via email, which is crucial when you’re planning a wedding. Our first meeting was at a Starbucks and he brought a laptop to showcase additional weddings that were photographed by 1314 and himself. We worked together on a timeline of the day and he put me at ease as my husband and I are not great in front of the camera. Our edited photos were provided to us timely and were fantastic! Everything was captured and then some! My only recommendation to future couples is to do an engagement shoot. We didn’t as we felt shy in front of the camera, but put that aside! It gives you an opportunity to know your photographer’s style and see how you act and look in front of the camera. And when you know what your assets are, your pictures will be that much better.Khoa and Brian, thank you for capturing our beautiful day and working with us to get those fantastic shots!

Feedback:

5 stars and more if I could!!! Khoa and his team are friendly, approachable, and of course professional. His work is clear and precise, and I love the way he is able to create images that are bright and vivid. Here is our experience!Before wedding day: We first inquired with Khoa to shoot our wedding day, and although we couldn't meet in person, he was flexible to chat over the phone. He even had his teammate phone, Hendrick, on the phone call. As a bride, you really want to get to "know" your wedding team and this was perfect. We had a connection right away, and this connection continued through the wedding process and the wedding day, and even now months after the wedding. He patiently listened to our wedding vision, gave helpful advice, and relayed all this information to his other main shooter, Hendrick. On wedding day: They arrived promptly, of course. Hendrick showed up, and quickly intro'd me to the rest of the team, who were all friendly and cordial, never intimidating. That morning I was so frazzled with hair/makeup, breakfast, my "first look", and overall mood and anxiety -- but once Hendrick and the rest of the team showed up, I immediately felt at ease. He coached me to pose like this and like that. Then it was time to head to the park for outdoor photos -- and Hendrick and team drove my groom and the guys to get started, so that the girls and myself could have the limo to ourselves and meet them at the park. What smart thinking!!!Arrival to venue: Our families met us there, and previously one of our main requests was to have someone speaking the language with our elders. Hendrick was perfect and was not afraid to shout instructions in Chinese at our guests, at our request! Needless to say, the night flew by, and the team, Hendrick all stayed way past the contracted time, just to chat, finish last minute shots, and hang out. It is important to note here that Khoa showed up despite it being late at night, and although he was booked elsewhere on our particular date -- what kind of photog/friend/team leader does that? THIS GUY! Dedication, passion, and commitment sums it up.Post-wedding/Delivery: Khoa delivered ALL photos in less than 3 weeks. UNDER ONE MONTH!!! All photos were crisp, brilliant, and sharp. Between Hendrick and the other shooters, they captured things we did not even get to see on our own wedding day, so very thankful for that. Then, I decided to get two parents' albums and Khoa tirelessly helped arrange and rearrange the photos into the beautiful leather albums.TL;DR: Please see for yourself and send an inquiry to 1314 & Khoa -- if they are available for your date, do not hesitate, book them because you will have the best friendly team who will produce the most amazing photos for your wedding day!!!

Feedback:

Khoa and his team are one of a kind, I had him for my engagement photos, mehndi and my wedding. He is the sweetest guy and seriously knows what he’s doing when it comes to photography. He captured so many great moments for my husband and I. My husband isnt the best with smiling for pictures but Khoa worked his magic, look no more for photography when it comes to 1314 studio! Thanks for everything.

Feedback:

I used Khoa for some candid proposal/engagement shots and we were super impressed. So much so, that I also used Khoa for our wedding and once again, he went above and beyond. Very easy to communicate with, great attention to detail and the outcome of the photos was great, thanks for everything Khoa and team!

Feedback:

Khoa and the entire team of photographers of 1314 Studios are phenomenal! My wife is Indian and we had a traditional Hindu-Indian ceremony, which can be quite lengthy and start very early. Khoa and his team were very understanding and professional-they arrived early and they knew the significance of the various Hindu customs that occurred during the ceremony and did a wonderful job of capturing the entire wedding and reception. We were so happy because he also made sure to capture all of our loved ones, family, and friends in all the photos, which is very heart warming as many live abroad.Khoa also personally hand delivered our final album to our home- he is truly a pleasure to work with! Our friends and family were so impressed with the final photos as the album was so colorful and of beautiful quality. My wife also loved the glamor shots that Khoa captured of her-she truly felt like a beautiful bride, like something out of a high fashion magazine.We highly recommend Khoa to everyone and we would love to use him again for any events we will have in the future! Great job, you are very talented! -Shimpei & Sweta Kawasaki

Feedback:

Our wedding photography went from the initial email to receipt of the pictures flawlessly. I had a DIY wedding and was worried that the pictures wouldn't turn out well, but they turned out great. The day of the wedding can be really hectic and stressful, and so we were extra thankful that the photo sessions were easy-going and fun because Khoa really knew how to lead them well. Would highly recommend to others :)
