Trung Hoang Photography 

5.0

South San Francisco, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,495

My name is Trung, the head honcho at this eponymously named company. My name is pronounced “Troon”, which sounds like spoon, so ignore those other letters that make life complicated. I've been a photographer for close to 10 years, photographing things big and small, far and wide. It's pretty incredible how impactful and valuable a split second image of a given time, place, person, or object can mean to a person. Whether it's a photograph of someone you love or a place you'd love to be, photographs spark memories or inspire the pursuit of new ones and that's why I love it.

Trung was a preferred vendor at Hakone Gardens, but he also became our preferred vendor to work with for our wedding. From the initial consult to day of the celebrations, Trung had such a great sense of humor and light heartedness that really relieved the stress we had during this time. He was knowledgeable and realistic about timing and really helped to keep us on track with his efficiency. We are so glad we got to work with him and have such beautiful memories captured by him. To all who are interested, you will not regret your decision to work with him and we cannot recommend him enough.

South San Francisco, CA
  • Caterer

Fascinated with the art and science of food, Masha (our owner and Chef de Cuisine) has been learning and practicing variety of recipes and cooking techniques since her early teenage years. Years later, as a Summa Cum Laude graduate from prestigious Sankt Petersburg SWISSAM Academy of Culinary Arts, Masha continues to pursue her true passion - sharing her love for cooking through delicious, heart and soul warming food.

On The Roll Catering exceeded our expectations for our wedding! Masha, Lena, and Georgyi (bar) were fantastic to work with, accommodating all of our special requests and last-minute changes with ease. The food was truly phenomenal, featuring delicious options like steak, fish, blini with caviar, etc and our guests loved every bite! What really impressed us was the value we received—our invoice was surprisingly reasonable given the high-quality dishes. Other vendors quoted us more for simpler menu items, yet On The Roll delivered exceptional quality without breaking the bank. The drinks were delicious, and the crew was professional and attentive. They even helped us secure rentals just a week before the wedding, which was a lifesaver! We highly recommend On The Roll Catering for any event!

As a local California wedding photographer, I’ve had the joy of working at The Mountain Terrace in Woodside many times over the past few years, and it’s truly one of my favorite venues. Nestled among the towering redwoods, this place offers a magical blend of natural beauty and charm that’s perfect for weddings from 20 people to 150. No matter the size, it always feels like an elevated backyard weddings with seamless transitions between spaces with plenty of photo oppurtunities. The outdoor ceremony space, with its meadow and stunning views of the Bay Area, is absolutely breathtaking. And the transition to a yummy dinner on the deck makes for such a cozy evening to top off the celebration. Not to mention, the fire pits s’mores option at the end of the night is an excellent way to make sure all guests feel comfortable and can enjoy their time - dance party or no! From a photographer’s perspective, this venue is a dream. The redwoods, open spaces, and panoramic views create endless opportunities for gorgeous photos, no matter the season or time of day. Plus, the staff here are amazing - always professional, friendly, and on top of everything, making every event run smoothly. I highly recommend working with their venue coordinators to keep things running smoothly, and the kitchen staff is beyond. I ALWAYS look forward to dinners at Mountain Terrace as they use fresh and seasonal ingredients and have some of the best dinner options of any of the venues I’ve worked at. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that’s serene, picturesque, and run by a fantastic team, The Mountain Terrace is a fantastic choice. It’s a place where unforgettable memories are made!

We initially found Bailey on Instagram after being recommended by one of our friends. We hit it off during our first phone call meeting and knew we wanted to work with her! I also thought it was pretty cool that her and my fiancé have the same name. Bailey our floral designer did an amazing job at what my vision as well as my fiancé’s vision was for our day. He wanted to be involved in making decisions with his own personal flowers and Bailey (floral designer) did a great job at executing what he wanted. We could not have asked for a better floral designer. Since we were unsure what all we needed Bailey was very helpful in suggesting what brides currently were doing and the in trends which none of the other floral designers I got quotes from had done. I would recommend Bailey over and over again!!

Jess made my absolute dream wedding florals come true! After our initial consult, she sent me a beautifully pieced together PDF of her ideas/vision for the florals which must have taken her so much time. We discussed any changes, and then signed the contract. She was extremely responsive, flexible, and understanding throughout the entire wedding process which made my life as a bride so much easier. On the day of the wedding, she was there early and had her set-up process down to a schedule. I have to say, the florals were absolutely stunning and had my guests asking for the name of my florist. I feel that her work was truly worth more than what I paid for and I appreciate everything that she did so much. I don't know how to give more than 5 stars but I would if I could!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Natasha's Treats and the beautiful vegan wedding cake she created for our big day! From the very beginning, Natasha was an absolute joy to work with. She was incredibly responsive, attentive to every detail, and made the whole process seamless. Her talent for decorating cakes is unparalleled—she not only captured our vision but brought it to life in a way that was even more stunning than we imagined. We chose her unique Russian-style vegan cake, and it was truly a showstopper. It was unlike any other wedding cake we’ve seen, both in flavor and design. The layers were rich and flavorful, and we were blown away by how Natasha managed to make it both vegan and so delicious—every single guest, whether vegan or not, was raving about it! It was the perfect blend of elegance and originality, and it made our wedding day feel even more special. On the day of the wedding, Natasha went above and beyond. She worked so well with our coordinator and the culinary team, ensuring everything went smoothly and the cake was set up exactly as planned. Her professionalism and attention to detail were much appreciated, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making our celebration perfect.

Carlos provided wonderful service at both our engagement shoto shoot and the day of our ceremony. He started both with a quick speech on posing and posture to help everyone look their best. He brought his son as a second shooter for our ceremony, and they both mingled with our guests at the reception, getting casual shots of most of our friends and family. He provided finished photos so quickly after the event (a little over 400 photos) that we were able to send those casual shots out with the thank you cards.

Yoko made sure to get to know us and took every step possible over the year we worked together to make sure that we were prepared for the big day. She was in touch with our vendors, and our families and made sure that everything ran as smoothly as possible. We never felt behind schedule or rushed because Yoko and team were so organized and on top of it. They really took care of us throughout the entire process. Something we appreciate is that they anticipated we'd need breaks during the day and scheduled those for us as well, they also made sure we were fed and hydrated throughout! Our families could not stop talking about how efficiently the entire day was managed. 11/10 want to plan another wedding just to hire them again.

I’ve always been inspired by the strong, ambitious women in my life who built successful small businesses in the hospitality industry — from restaurant owners and bakers to caterers and florists. Growing up surrounded by their entrepreneurial spirit, I was motivated to follow my own path and create something meaningful in the world of events. ​ After spending two years working as a Wedding Coordinator at the Westin, the pandemic hit and forced a pause on hotel weddings. That unexpected turn of events only fueled my determination to turn my passion into a full-time business. And so, Kaci Danae Events was born.

My husband and I hired Kaci as our wedding day-of coordinator and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We were able to enjoy our day without stressing about anything and trusted Kaci to handle all of the details that we envisioned. She was so calm, cool, and collected through all of our meetings and was able to calm my nerves on the wedding day too. She was so sweet, listened to the things we wanted, and her organization and communication made her a great coordinator for us. Would recommend Kaci to anyone looking for a coordinator!

Kim Baker Beauty is all about helping people feel like their best self, inside and out. This is so much more than makeup. We don't take it lightly that we are the first people you are with on your wedding day. How we make you feel is our top priority.

Awarded Best of Zola
TL;DR: Kim Baker Beauty is fantastic and you should absolutely book them! When looking for a hair & makeup artist, as a queer couple, we were a little apprehensive about finding an artist who would be well-versed in hair & makeup for couples and weddings outside of heteronormative traditions. My partner was a little worried about finding someone who would "get it" in terms of their style--more minimal and masculine--and who wouldn't try to push them into doing a more feminine style. Kim and Audra both totally got it! Kim was super communicative throughout the whole process and was so great to work with. Due to unforeseen circumstances the week of our wedding, Kim couldn't make it--but she immediately organized one of her other artists, Audra, who did a truly superb job. My partner and I both got hair and makeup services. I had a more classic bridal look and my partner had more minimal makeup and their short hair styled. We both absolutely loved the way we looked and felt amazing on our wedding day! We wanted a calm, chill morning while getting ready for our wedding and Audra was lovely, so kind and easy to talk to, and had a very calm energy. Our hair and makeup lasted extremely well throughout the evening, even through hours of dancing! Kim and Audra are total pros and made us feel stunning on our wedding day. I can't recommend them highly enough!

We held our wedding reception at Saratoga Springs in the Cathedral Grove region of the venue on a Saturday in October. After visiting them for a walkthrough, we booked this venue about a year and a few months in advance. This was the first venue we visited and we fell in love! We felt a great family-like vibe from the staff, starting with Jennifer who coordinated our initial booking and tour. Throughout our time preparing for this event, Olivia and Sam were extraordinary in their communication, response time, and knowledge of these events. They did a wonderful job in helping us understand what we needed vs. what we wanted and good decisions to make. They never tried to upsell us on more expensive options, always letting us know the best value for what we wanted. Throughout this process, we knew we had made the right choice in terms of staff. Scenically, Saratoga Springs is stunning! An outdoor venue with several different species of large trees like oaks and redwoods, many small creeks that run through and around the venue, and several amenities included such as lights that wrap around the trees, a firepit, and artificial turf that you can actually wear high heels on! We were in love with the scenery immediately because our reception was LOTR/Legend of Zelda themed and this was perfect for us. Throughout the actual event, the Saratoga Springs staff was excellent. They assisted us and our own day of wedding coordinators in running the event and making sure we had everything that they could provide. Our reception was during a brutal heat wave in the Bay Area, but Cathedral Grove had so many large trees that the shade they provided meant the floor never got hot and it felt more like 75 degrees which was SO essential for the comfort of ourselves and our guests. Everything was great, and we give the venue and their staff a 10/10. There was one glaring issue we want to address. The DJ we booked, Paul Dominguez, was a very nice man. He seemed to be on top of it, being in constant communication with us leading up to the event. We felt that he was going to do a great job. Yet, when it came time for the event, he made SEVERAL mistakes in what we asked him to do that we felt the need to address this situation and performance. He is part of the approved vendor list for DJs but we honestly feel Saratoga Springs needs to either reevaluate him or discuss this with him because literally everything else about the night was perfect for us, except him. Again, he is a nice guy and even provided cold sparklers for us for free which we really appreciated, but the lack of attention to detail in several aspects of this night was something we felt we needed to address here. Overall, Saratoga Springs is an excellent venue choice for a big event like a wedding/reception and we are happy to recommend anyone looking for a venue. We had an amazing experience for our reception and we are very satisfied with the staff and scenery of this venue.

The music she played as I walked down the aisle was simply dreamy. Having Aysha play was one of our best wedding decisions, she really contributed so much to the special moments on our big day. I would highly recommend Aysha's services for any event needing an accomplished and talented harpist.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Orralyn as our wedding coordinator, and she exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, her organizational skills and attention to detail were incredible. Orralyn has a remarkable ability to understand and capture your vision, making sure every aspect of the day reflects your unique style and preferences. What really sets her apart is her warm and kind demeanor—working with her felt like collaborating with a close friend. She’s also incredibly sweet, which added such a lighthearted and enjoyable atmosphere to what can sometimes be a stressful planning process. Her determination to make everything perfect is evident in every interaction. If you’re looking for someone who is not only talented and meticulous but also genuinely invested in making your day special, Orralyn is your girl! We couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator, and we’re so grateful for her hard work and passion! Not only have I been lucky to use her for my own wedding, but I’ve also gotten to work with her as a Bridesmaid, while in friends and families weddings!

I can’t recommend Far Out Catering & Events highly enough! Carla and her wonderful team helped me organize a beautiful baby shower for my daughter-in-law. They not only provided a fantastic luncheon buffet, but they also created a stunning layout, handled the vendors, and their flower team made adorable centerpieces for the tables. I rented the mimosa cart from them, and it was a highlight of my event! If you are looking for a company that will take care of everything so you can enjoy the event, contact them!

Hi there! I'm Sean, a Bay Area native who is pretty darn handy with a camera. I started my professional photography journey during the pandemic after losing my job working in STEM and Art Education. I decided to bet on myself and pursue my passion, which is to be a full-time photographer. What excites me most about being a photographer is the opportunity to create incredible art with amazing people. I love meeting new people and connecting with them. Wedding photography is so fulfilling because it requires so much trust, and seeing the joy from couples when they see their photos is truly magical.

Sean was very helpful and extremely professional! He was able to answer questions before we were even able to ask them, and even answered one’s we didn’t know we had. Also, the pictures were spectacular. Highly recommend
