Introduction

Changing Lives With One Click At A Time AllanKuoPhotography.com For me, witnessing a wedding is the greatest honor of being a photographer. Whether in rustic backyards or grand ballrooms, the greatest story is told through the couple and the lens that captures their most powerful moments. I take pride in skill, but most of all, commitment. Some say patience is a virtue; however, commitment transcends time. Commitment to my craft, commitment to honoring the couple, commitment to making their day one to remember. From the Monterey seas to the golden hills of Napa County, I travel to preserve memories. From hilarious happenings to once-in-a-lifetime moments, I strive to capture life's most meaningful memories. Destination to local, I do it all. My years as a wedding and lifestyle photographer have given me a keen eye, deep professionalism and creativity. I shoot in cities ranging from the Monterey Bay Area to Santa Cruz and surrounding areas, as well as the South Bay (Los Gatos, San Jose, Marin County, San Francisco and Mill Valley), and the East and North Bay (Fremont, Oakland, Berkeley, Napa and Wine County).

Allan is AMAZING! My husband and I did our court wedding in Sacramento and the court made us wait for over half an hour which burned a lot of our time with Allan. However Allan was so kind that not only did we have fun conversations during the long wait but also he gave us extended time for the shoot! We originally were planning to have the shoot done in front of the Capitol, which was of course closed off due to construction (lucky us! lol), Allan was so professional that he directed us with the poses and made the pictures we took in the surrounding area, which I thought was whatever in person, look absolutely stunning! I was so pleased with the outcome despite the limited time! This proves Allan’s professionalism and how much he knows his craft to create magic through his lens! My husband and I ENJOYED every minute of the journey so much that we’re actually going to ask him to be our photographer at our wedding celebration this summer 😀 Thanks Allan!!

Allan did an amazing job with my maternity shoot! Communication was a breeze, and he really understood my expectations for the session. He was also incredibly patient with my dog, as it was our first time including him in a photo shoot. Allan made the whole experience so smooth and enjoyable. The photos turned out beautiful, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! I highly recommend his services for any occasion!

What a great experience. Fast response time to digital communication, relaxed environment for kids to get comfortable taking pictures, and we never felt rushed to get in place/position while getting pictures take. Allan was flexible and willing to take any of our requests for specific poses and helped guide us in what to do as well. I would recommend him for family photos again and again.
