We have the most precious collection of photographs
- We came across Thao’s work and immediately fell in love with the way that she is able to capture and convey the happiness that her couples feel on their special day. And that is exactly what she did for us - Thao’s photos brought us right back to the romantic, playful, tender moments between us and the sheer joy on our friends’ faces as they celebrated us. What is also so lovely is how the photos weave together all the different parts of the day, even the quiet still moments when a bunny is grazing in the grass or a butterfly lands on a flower. We keep discovering new details. Thao’s creativity and talent is immediately evident in her work. But we are even more grateful for her presence and thoughtfulness. As we are a private and spotlight shy couple, we were worried about stiffening up with a camera on us. Thao was so graceful and patient - giving us just enough space and guidance that allowed us to quickly trust the process and just be ourselves. We actually really missed having the camera around when the day ended! Thao’s thoughtfulness also showed up in the meetings and emails leading up to our wedding - where she carefully assessed our needs and vision of the day and was clearly so well prepared for the venue and all the spots she would like to capture. Everything felt so effortless because of all the hard work and planning she did. And now we have the most precious collection of photographs to forever savor and remember. We are truly so thankful!

Insanely talented photographer
My husband and I truly can't recommend Studiothao highly enough! We feel incredibly fortunate to have connected with her when she was available – it honestly feels unreal to have had someone so talented and accomplished capture our elopement. I still find myself in disbelief about the whole experience. From our very first call, where we talked about our vision and plans, to the lead-up before the big day, the elopement itself, and receiving the final photos – every step went above and beyond our expectations. Thao is the perfect mix of professionalism and passion. She has such a keen eye and made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to be ourselves while capturing our true connection as a couple. She genuinely cared about us and our experience, and on the day of the elopement, it felt like we had a close friend or family member by our side. She was thoughtful and meticulous in selecting and editing our photos, and the final gallery is nothing short of perfection. I’m beyond thrilled – not just with the beautiful photos but also with the bond we built with her. We will absolutely be reaching out to her for future life milestones. If you’re searching for a down-to-earth, insanely talented photographer who’s all about telling your unique story and making the experience joyful – Thao is the one. We adore her!

Calm, comforting, and fun
- We cannot recommend Thao enough! She was the only photographer we met with and it was immediately clear that she understood our vision. We knew that Thao would not only capture how our wedding day looked but also exactly how it felt. From start to end, she made the process so easy. Thao captured every moment seamlessly and her presence was calm, comforting, and fun. Our guests adored her and raved about her even before seeing the photos. The final gallery made us so emotional. Every photo perfectly reflects our day and we will treasure these memories forever thanks to Thao. We are deeply appreciative of her talent, dedication, and kindness.
