Minh: Born and raised in Viet Nam, my college years unfolded across the US and France, leading me to settle in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. My passion for languages extends beyond mere communication; it's about the profound understanding and expression that transcend direct translation. Photography, to me, is akin to this complex, multidimensional language. Each photograph is a narrative open to diverse interpretations, a canvas of myriad emotions and perspectives. My mission is to craft more than just visually appealing images; I aim to capture the essence of your identity and the moments you cherish, creating memories that resonate deeply and uniquely, beyond the realms of memory and words. Rebecca: My journey into photography began at the tender age of ten when my grandfather gifted me my first camera, a Polaroid. Poppy, always seen with a camera at hand, was relentless in his quest to capture the essence of our family's moments. This early exposure ignited my understanding and passion for documenting human connections. I quickly fell in love with the power of photography to immortalize a memory, an idea, or a feeling in a tangible form. To me, the essence of life is found in our connections with others, transcending the mundane aspects of our daily existence. Drawing inspiration from the unique personalities, dynamics, and details around me, I strive to uncover new angles and perspectives in my work, capturing facets of your persona and moments you might never have envisioned. My goal is to freeze those emotions and memories in visual form, creating lasting treasures for you and your loved ones

7 Reviews for Du Soleil
1. She is calm and collected! At our first call, she was calm (but also clearly excited for us), collected, and organized. I didn't really know what I wanted but she was able to listen to my incoherent babbling, guide me by asking pointed questions and gentle suggestions, and allowed me to understand better what I might want for the wedding.
2. She is EXPERIENCED. Because of her experience, she was able to get all the shots done in the allotted amount of time and also provided recommendations on how to map out the timeline better. She had a really good understanding of how she would have to work with/around other vendor schedules to get things done. I never worried once because I knew she was on board.
She also has a lot of in depth knowledge of shooting locations, lighting, etc. She was able to suggest some beautiful shooting locations for us based on our vibe/vision.
Lastly, because of her experience, she was able to coax some really cool shots out of some really awkward people. She has a really easy going and cool vibe about her that makes you feel OK about feeling awkward. Then after a little bit, you realize you don't even feel awkward anymore. She was able to gauge when we needed a break, when she could push us a little more out of our comfort zone, and when to just let us be.
We're so happy Minh was a part of our wedding!!!
