Plan Your Northern California Wedding: Vendors, Inspiration, & Expert Advice

My wife and I were a lucky COVID wedding and have been through an incredible journey over many years with Will and it is hard to put into words how incredible Will and his wife truly are! I can remember back in July 2019 meeting Will for the first time over a video call to see if there was a good fit both in terms of chemistry but also in terms of our wedding plans with his style. I don’t know if my wife and I have ever been as blown away by someone as we were with Will. Due to COVID, we had to pull the plug a month prior. To reschedule, Will gave us unbelievable flexibility and made confirming a new date (twice) an simple process. Will invested that same time and energy leading up to our actual wedding in September 2021 and had the wedding planned out better than our wedding planner. Our wedding day was in Portugal and part of our contract meant a day before, day of and day after engagement. Our sunset shoot the next day really was the highlight in our gallery but let’s be frank here, the gallery we received from Will was breathtaking! His technical ability with lightening, it’s scary good! The best part for me, all the emotion of that day was captured in the gallery! I can look at that gallery and I can remember every feeling that day brought.

From start to finish, working with Julia was an absolute pleasure. She was professional, friendly, and attentive to every detail. On the day of our shoot, Julia made us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. She had a great eye for locations and lighting, and she was open to our ideas and suggestions. Throughout the shoot, she gave us gentle guidance on posing and positioning, while still allowing us to be ourselves. The photos themselves are absolutely stunning. Julia captured the love and joy between us in a way that is truly magical. The colors are vibrant, the composition is creative, and the emotions are palpable. We have received so many compliments on our photos, and we feel so lucky to have these memories captured so beautifully. Overall, we cannot recommend Julia highly enough. She is an incredibly talented photographer with a true gift for capturing the essence of her subjects. If you're looking for someone to document your special moments, Julia is the one for you!

We at Two Perfect Events have had the pleasure of working together with Vivian Chen and Erin Prado from Vivian Chen Photography for many years. Their work captures genuine moments, emotions, and connections in a natural and effortless way. The photos are stunning, thoughtful, and full of life. They are professional, friendly, reliable, and are easy and a joy to collaborate with. We look forward to future collaborations.

Some people are talented… but then there are people who are truly gifted at what they do — and our wedding cinematographer was exactly that. From the moment we finally met him on our wedding day, it felt like we had known him forever. His energy, his vibe, his presence… everything was effortless and genuine. He didn’t just show up with a camera — he showed up with passion, creativity, and a heart for capturing moments that actually matter. Every special moment, every emotion, every little detail we never want to forget… he captured it so beautifully. Watching our film back felt like reliving the best day of our lives all over again, with every laugh, tear, and feeling perfectly preserved. His work truly speaks for itself, but what sets him apart is the relationship-building and care he pours into his clients. He made us feel comfortable, celebrated, and understood the entire time. We came for a cinematographer and left feeling like family. We are officially locked in for life. Thank you for giving us memories we’ll cherish forever.
