We had an amazing experience with Alvis and couldn't recommend him more. Our engagement photo session was a surprise for my fiancée, and from start to finish Alvis was professional, communicative, and easy to work with. Neither my fiancée nor I are used to being in front of the camera, but Alvis did a fantastic job guiding us through the shoot and making us feel comfortable and natural. The photos turned out beautifully, and we're so grateful to have captured such a special moment. If you're looking for a talented photographer who's great to work with, Alvis is the one. read more

Alvis shot our engagement and wedding photos, but I feel like he went above and beyond just being a photographer. My husband and I had a pretty long wedding day that included a tea ceremony before our wedding ceremony and reception, and since we didn't have a wedding planner, Alvis helped us a lot with coordinating the timing of the day. He and his second shooter Ken were just so warm and welcoming; they made us all feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Forever grateful we managed to find him. He's worth the investment! He delivered SO many photos I would never be able to share all of my favorites, but here are some that feel really special to me. Thank you for everything, Alvis read more

Alvis is amazing and I can't thank him and his team enough for the photos! They turned out beautiful and beyond our expectations. I loved how he had a vision and was assertive with his directions while making sure we were comfortable. We were impressed at how he was able to work with such a large wedding party and manage the chaotic reception professionally. We couldn't have picked anyone else to have our special moment captured and we're truly grateful to him and his team for being part of our wedding. read more

I had a great experience with Alvis taking USC grad photos. He knew the good spots and the pictures came out beautifully.

Alvis took my grad photos and I highly recommend him! It was my first time doing a professional photoshoot, so I wasn't sure what to expect or how to pose, but he made the whole experience really comfortable. He gave great guidance throughout and helped me get a variety of shots and poses. On top of that, he's super friendly and easy to work with--I'm really happy with how everything turned out. read more

Alvis is kind of a legend within my friends circle. Within the last two years, 4 of us have booked him as our wedding photographer. His portfolio is phenomenal, and he's friendly, flexible and easy to work with. Alvis showed up to the wedding day early, helped us brainstorm cute poses, and took some amazing photos for us, our wedding party, and families - and even got a lot of the small details from our wedding. We also finally nailed the "dip" photo pose with his help! We had an outdoor garden wedding, and he also navigated the light rain that we had and thought quickly on his feet to scout the location with best lighting for us. Thank you, Alvis for the beautiful, once-in-a-lifetime photos! read more

Alvis and his team were the perfect mix of professional and personable for my wedding. From the first meeting with Alvis (and cats!) over Zoom I felt at ease in the whole process. When the team showed up on the day, they were bubbly and excited to be there, which made my husband and I much more comfortable being the center of attention. All of the photos and the videos turned out beautifully, and are the perfect representation of our special day. I can't recommend Alvis enough! I'd give 6 stars if I could! read more

Alvis is great!! Very quick in responding, takes amazing pictures, and finishes editing quickly! I'm not quite comfortable posing or being in front of the camera and he put me at ease and helped me understand what to do. Thank you so much for my grad photos! :) read more

Finding a photographer while living in another state can be stressful but Alvis and his assistant made it very easy and stress free. From the beginning his assistant replied very quickly while I was browsing different photographers in the area. Our photos came out wonderful and Alvis was very helpful throughout teaching us how to pose. He is very efficient and professional 10/10 read more

This photographer is so not worth the money, I really don't understand the positive reviews. We did a sunset photoshoot with Alvis himself, not anyone else from his team. Prior to the photoshoot I went through his entire portfolio and sent him sample pictures I liked. I specified what I liked & didn't like, and I was very clear. He paid zero attention to our requests and did an extremely sloppy job. He charges $300 for 30 minutes, $500 for an hour session, and an extra $100 if your location requires a permit. We paid $600 and did not receive a single picture we liked. Also, even though we paid for an entire hour, he wanted to stop at 40 minutes!!! He said that's all the poses he had in mind for us. We tried to come up with new locations and poses to fill our time, even though it's his job. He insisted on wrapping up and was already gone at 50 minutes. Alvis is also a pretty short guy, so be prepared to have a double chin in all your pictures as he takes his photos from a lower angle. 100% DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

We had Alvis for our wedding photography and videography! We would 100% recommend Alvis and his team - they were punctual, respectful and professional. Pictures and videos came out so nice, we can't wait to print and frame them! Thank you, Alvis! read more

Alvis was an absolute delight to work with. Not only did he help me find the perfect spot to do my wedding photos, he was able to execute everything on a last minute schedule. Alvis was always responsive and helpful. He was on time to my event and he was efficient. We got a TON of wedding photos done and we were right on schedule. I really appreciated his attention to detail as well. He also had a quick turn around time. We got our photos in just a few weeks. We have so many amazing photos to choose from, it's so exciting. Thank you!!! read more

Alvis shot for our wedding this year at Aliso Viejo and we could not have asked for a better photographer/videographer. From the moment we met up not a single second was wasted and Alvis coordinated his team, and the wedding party, with great leadership - telling us where to stand, how to pose, giving recommendations for photo spots, etc. We were super happy with the final result. All the photos came out great (1000+), videos were the highest quality (20 GB+), and the highlight reel he made is one we will cherish forever! We highly recommend Alvis for all his services! read more

Alvis and his team did an amazing job capturing the photo and video for our wedding!

We are incredibly grateful to have had Alvis Pham and team as our Wedding Photography and Videography crew. From the moment our day started they were on top of everything and made us feel at ease. They adapted to every situation flawlessly, they gave us step by step guidance during the first look, they scouted out the perfect wedding party group shots, they were hyper efficient taking photos with ALL of our guests, we could go on and on. They were invisible when they needed to be, but somehow capturing every moment. Every single team member was genuinely kind, and made us feel so special that we felt like old friends by the end of the day, and sad that our time with them was already over. (Luckily we got some photos with the crew as a memento :) ) We would recommend them a thousand times over, and can't tell you how many comments we got from friends and family who were blown away by their high caliber, or who regretted not investing more for a great photographer for their own events after seeing Alvis and co handle everything. We are booking them again in a heart beat for any future events where we'll want to cherish with beautiful pictures and videos! read more

I can't recommend Alvis enough. He is magic. he is incredibly talented. Alvis shot our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Every picture was so beautiful. As two people who weren't naturals in front of the camera, he told us exactly what to do. And the photos were remarkable. I don't think I'll ever look that good, he is just too good. He is also so kind and thoughtful. He is very passionate about his work. He always strives to get the best shot. You can immediately tell that this was what he was born to do. As his client, I was so thrilled to have found him. But as an observer and follower of his work, I am so impressed and just excited to see how he shines in every regard. Check out his work because it's breathtaking. I already plan on hiring him to take my graduation photos in 2 years and any special occasions in the future. read more

Alvis and his team accommodated our request to shoot and livestream a funeral service on very short notice. The photos and videos they captured are of exceptional quality and will undoubtedly be treasured by my family. They were professional and respectful during the service, as they worked with minimal disruption. They have amazing communication and turnaround times as well! We 100% recommend working with Alvis and cannot thank them enough for their service. read more

I found Alvis through Yelp for our pre- wedding photos session. I'm happy with the quality of the photos and his professionalism. Highly recommended. read more

Alvis took my graduation photos, including both individual and family shots. He was friendly, professional, and wonderful to work with. It's clear that Alvis is well versed in great poses and photo locations. I really appreciated and trusted in his direction, and I'm so pleased with the results. Alvis also quickly turned around the photos within less than two weeks. In a day and age where anyone can take a photo with their phone, Alvis's photos remind me that the pros offer something unique, memorable, and special. I'm so glad I made the investment and enthusiastically recommend working with him on your photography needs. read more

I got referred to Alvis for engagement and wedding photos from a client of mine and I'm so happy I went with Alvis! I love how his style is on the colorful and brighter side because that's what I wanted. Lots of photographers are doing the moody, sunset, orangey edits right now and it's not really my thing haha. So Alvis definitely stood out among everybody with his bright and vibrant edits! Engagement shoot: Alvis recommended to shoot at 123Farms so we could have a lavender farm background for our pictures. It also rained heavy in the beginning of 2023, so the farm looked gorgeous since everything was BLOOMING! Honestly, couldn't have been happier with all the pictures. It was the first time I felt so pretty Now, I'm addicted to getting professional pictures taken and I'm hiring different photographers to take pictures of me as I travel. Wedding shoot: Alvis and team were punctual and communicative! They hit the ground running once they got to the bridal suite. My husband and I didn't understand posing and have coordination issues, but Alvis gave detailed posing instructions for every shot, so we looked like we were born to do this Alvis and team took so many pictures of us that day and we're just appreciative for everything he and his team did for us! We can't recommend Alvis's service enough! Alvis and team also does videography, so it was a streamlined service! Engagement, Wedding Photography, Wedding Videography, and even Photobooths! I had a small wedding and didn't have space for a Photobooth, but trust me I was so close to getting that too haha! Thank you so much Alvis and team, you've definitely made our wedding memorable and I hope all my friends and anyone who reads this book with you! read more

Alvis and his team went above and beyond for our wedding photos. He and his team were so kind, efficient, and professional! We love our posed shots but we especially loved and appreciated his eye for taking those candid photos of special moments. He and his team had very creative ideas for where to take photos within the venue and captured the beauty of our venue along with our joy, excitement, and love in his photos. He had great attention to detail throughout the entire process, for example, fixing a bit of hair, adjusting the wedding veil, and making sure every face was seen in our group photos! read more

We booked Alvis for our wedding and we also did an engagement photoshoot with him. He was a little disorganized as he forgot to include an extra photographer we requested during time of initial quote and I had sent him a photography shot list but he and the extra photographer missed a couple of shots during the day of the wedding (he might of forgotten this list in his emails). He also had left partially into our reception to attend a personal appointment but had not communicated this to us (we found out from the second photographer who covered during this time). Wished he discussed this beforehand as we were expecting him to attend the entire event but was happy we booked the second photographer for 2 hours and he covered while Alvis was away. He did eventually come back to finish the rest of the event. He takes a little bit to get back to you in terms of email and texts but will eventually respond. Some feedback for him is to work on his communication skills as I was a little nervous working with him and he didn't initially provide any turnaround time for the engagement and wedding photos until I had followed up with him first. In terms of the work, we were very satisfied with the quality of the photos (again, a little disappointed we missed a couple of shots). The pictures turned out great! There were a few photos that came out a little washed out due to flash usage and a couple photos that were a little crooked but was happy we booked 2 photographers to make up for this. I would still recommend him for photography work as he was a very good eye for photography. If you have the budget to get a second photographer, definitely would recommend this. read more

Alvis drove down for my evening graduation shoot in San Diego and he was the best photographer I could ever ask for! Super professional, friendly, and punctual. I was initially pretty nervous before the shoot since I often struggle with knowing how to pose myself in pictures, but Alvis immediately put me at ease and told me exactly what to do. His friendly and warm personality made the entire experience very fun and easygoing. He got a wide variety of different shots, which all turned out beautiful! The pictures he took were the best pictures of myself that I've ever seen. They turned out even better than I ever imagined. I feel very lucky that I found him when I did. If you're ever in the market for graduation photos (or any other photos for that matter), definitely reach out to him! You won't regret it! read more

We were so thankful to have had the chance to work with him because our photos were amazing! I was nervous since I'm not the best at poses but Alvis guided us every step of the way. He helped give us ideas on posing & made us feel comfortable. He captured everything perfectly & made sure we all looked our very best. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer. Alvis is such a pleasure to work with! read more

I reached out to Alvis via Yelp because my Mom wanted to hire a photographer/videographer combo that would be able to capture memories of my Dad's funeral service. Life was pretty sensitive during this time because we were still in a little bit of shock and denial that my Dad was really gone, while trying to grieve at the same time. I came across Alvis' profile, read his reviews, checked out his website and shot him a message. He replied promptly and we talked for a bit and then I had him talk to my sister as well before we signed a contract. Alvis' work is amazing and we highly recommend that you hire him for any type of photography/videography project. We never noticed him or his team during the entire service and that's a really great thing. My Mom was super happy with the final memories that Alvis captured of my Dad and that was all that mattered. Alvis, thank you for your incredible work! You will always have a special place in our hearts and we will always appreciate you and your team for working with us during a really delicate time in our lives. For anyone looking for a talented photographer, look no further because Alvis is him! Feel free to reach out to me should you want more details. Thanks again Alvis! read more

Alvis and his team are seriously the best!! My husband and I hired him for our wedding photography, videography and photo booth! We first heard about him through a friend whose wedding I was officiating and then found out later that he had shot some of our other friends' weddings!! We interviewed several other photographers before deciding on his team. It was important for us to have a photographer that we can trust to make us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera on our wedding day and edit photos in the style we preferred; we found all that in Alvis. We got so many compliments on our engagement photos that he shot as well! On the day of our wedding, he came prepared with so many photographers and videographers, our guests were impressed by the amount of coverage he brought for our wedding of 200+ people. I honestly cannot say enough about Alvis' team and would recommend him for anyone who wants quality work at reasonable cost. Our guests loved that his photo booth service included unlimited prints on quality paper. I had friends coming up to me to ask how I found a photo booth service that actually provided high resolution photos. I did my research and hired a photographer who takes pride in having the best tech. Hire him and his team, you won't regret it! read more

I found Alvis through Yelp and inquired for a session through his website. I really appreciate his online portfolio as it helped pick out the location of my own photo shoot. He decided to shoot during 'golden hour' and the photos turned out sooo beautiful! The session was comfortable and fun! Alvis is amazing at guiding poses. Photos were sent 14 days following as promised. I love the quality of the photos as well as the editing. It was definitely worth the wait! I would highly recommend Alvis to anyone! read more

Very easy to schedule with. We had to change our appointment and Alvis was accommodating and friendly about it despite the business of grad photo season. read more

I had an amazing experience with Alvis and his partner Norbert this past weekend. Norbert showed up to the location early, he contacted me and was patient with me on such a hectic day. He gave amazing instructions, he knew what he was doing and he had a vision for our pictures which is what we needed. I would highly recommend their photography services for your wedding day or for any special occasions. Thanks Norbert! read more

Alvis was amazing! My friends and I had a 2 and a half hour graduation photo shoot with him. They were all so impressed by his professionalism. Alvis is super friendly and accommodating. He took a variety of group photos and solo shots in so many different locations on campus. I couldn't believe how many fantastic photos we got. They all turned out fantastic. He has a great eye for how to pose, lighting, etc. He even made sure all our hair was in place for every photo. I couldn't be happier with how these photos turned out and with the experience. read more

Alvis is incredible! He did my USC graduation photos and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Every shot looked amazing--he really knows how to capture the best angles, lighting, and energy. He came prepared with all the best locations around campus and guided me through different poses that felt natural but still looked professional. On top of that, he was so kind, patient, and easy to work with. The whole shoot felt relaxed and fun, and it really shows in the final photos. Highly recommend Alvis to anyone looking for quality grad photos or just someone who knows how to make you feel confident in front of the camera! read more

When my wife and I were thinking about our budget, we almost decided to not have a videographer. However, only after we worked with and saw how Alvis and his team captured our wedding did I realize how much I would've regretted that decision. The team was punctual and professional. They ensured to shoot specific moments they had in their mind in able to craft a story blending the moments of the day into a beautiful story that matches the incredible feeling we shared that day with our friends and family. Especially since some of the day seemed like a blur to my wife and I now, we got to see new things as well as relive the best moments of the wedding. We received the wedding video a little over a month after the wedding which was perfect as enough time had passed that it made watching the video feel refreshing and invigorating. Thank you so much Alvis Pham Photography for capturing this day for us, cannot tell you how much we appreciate it! read more

I've known Alvis since high school so I was delighted to work with someone I knew even if we haven't spoken in awhile. I booked a grad shoot at UCR & I can't emphasize how awesome of a photographer he is. He's very nice, patient, & open to new ideas during photoshoots. One of the best I've worked with & his unique editing skills are so nice! He was respectful & offered to help me carry my things even in 90 degree weather he didn't complain. I got what I paid for & I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I reached out to Alvis in January 2023 to shoot some grad photos for me. I was a little late to the game in terms of scheduling but we were able to agree upon a time/date in May 2023. Unfortunately he couldn't make it to our planned date/time because he was stuck overseas, but he then never responded to my follow ups and kept my deposit. read more
