    Engagement session at Irvine Spectrum
    Cindy N.

    We were recommended to check out Andrew's work by my sister in-law (Dolled Up By LuLu) as they worked together on several weddings. I'm generally shy, but silly because I tend to feel intimidated to take photos especially by professionals. However, Andrew did an amazing job to make us feel comfortable and helped us be ourselves. He did our entire engagement & wedding photos. I really love how he made sure to capture all the details (wedding invites/programs, reception decor, etc) that we don't always get to enjoy to look at on our busy, but special day. He will give suggestions on the type of things he tends to capture, but also ask for your style of look you're going for to customize his take on each event. We went for the sort of laid back type of feel for the most part of engagement, but more romantic and some fun stuff for our wedding day. I highly recommend to work with Andrew! He's so patient and amazing!

    Andrew Kwak was my wedding photographer on 11/23/2019 -- the missing puzzle piece to one of the best days of my life! He was professional, friendly, .. just an absolute dream to work with. I let him take creative control, and was stunned by the final product. You may not know it yet, but ... YOU - NEED - HIM ! Andrew, thank you and your team so very much. I cannot express my sincerest gratitude to you all!

    My fiancé and I had such a great experience working with Andrew for a recent pre-wedding shoot. He has a great eye, makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and is quick to get the photos back to you. Highly recommend working with Andrew!

    Worked with Andrew and his team for an engagement and wedding shoot. Amazing team to work with! Everyone was so friendly and went above & beyond. Andrew is very passionate about what he does and does his best to accommodate his clients' needs. He is also an excellent communicator and easy to talk to. Definitely recommend!

    Attention to detail 10/10

    My sister in law referred us to Andrew after he did an amazing job at her Covid wedding ceremony last year. We asked Andrew to do our Covid ceremony and engagement photos and we are so pleased with the results. He communicated with me prior to the event to coordinate the timing and types of photos we wanted. He got great photos of me walking down the aisle, us during the ceremony, our families and was able to fit in some couples photography after the ceremony. I would definitely recommend him for your special event and can't wait to work with him again. 10/10 would recommend *I'm not sharing photos of people out of respect for privacy, but his editing and lighting makes all the difference!

    We had some challenges with our wedding photographer. As a bride it was pretty traumatizing and I was completely devastated and in tears when I saw our wedding photos. It was at that point that my husband and I decided to take "post wedding photos." Initially I had some concerns especially from last our experience from our wedding photographer but we knew we wanted to have those timeless pictures that we could look back to even if it wasn't from the actual day. After meeting with Andrew and seeing the photos I was beyond impressed by the professionalism and quality of the images that we got. He was very sympathetic about what had happened with our wedding photos and really took the time to listen to what we had envisioned for the session. During the photoshoot he was very professional but also very relaxed. He even showed us samples of the shots he took just to make sure he was capturing the images we had wanted. He was also open to feedback and overall the experience was really fun and positive. He made sure we were comfortable and also coached us on some poses to make sure we got the best angles. Him and his assistant was also very attentive throughout the whole session but at the same time it also felt like we were all just hanging out. He even got my husband (who is not a big fan of photos) feel comfortable and before the session was over they were cracking jokes like old friends. The images itself were beyond AMAZING- the quality was beyond EXCELLENT that seeing them made me wish i could replay our wedding and have him take the photos. I was literally in tears because these were the type of photos I wish we could have captured the day of our wedding. To this day I refer Andrew to friends who are either getting married or need a photographer to capture their special moments. We consider him family and catch up every now then. We also look forward to having him capture and be part of future milestones and priceless memories of our now growing family.

    Andrew is a photography genius. My husband and I hired Andrew for our wedding last month and we couldn't be happier with the experience and results. Andrew is easy to work with, punctual, professional yet also relatable and down to earth. We set up a few phone calls prior to our wedding regarding our expectations and timeline and it was pretty much handled from there - Andrew captured perfect photos of our families, politely gesturing guests to stand straighter with hands in pockets, straight and smiling (not an easy task for a big fat Indian wedding). He caught the most perfect candid images - all of our photos are of our families smiling, laughing and dancing. My personal favorites are from the 40 minute couple photo shoot after our ceremony- these photos are absolutely stunning. Andrew has an eye for landscape, angles and drama. He asked if we wanted a fun feel or a romantic vibe for our wedding photos and we chose romantic. That is exactly what we got. These photos are soft, dramatic and intimate. A few are attached below. We truly love all our photos and we're planning on hanging them around our apartment. Overall, we couldn't be happier with choosing Andrew and we highly recommend him for any event. Thank you again Andrew!

    Andrew was our wedding photographer, and he was one of the best decisions I made for the wedding...second only to my choice of groom ;) But really, it was incredibly overwhelming trying to choose a photographer when I have zero artistic background. I came across his amazing portfolio with photos that are true to color, pop, and jaw dropping night / sunset photos. As a couple with no experience getting professional photos done, Andrew made it very easy, natural, and a fun time! He's been in this business for quite some time now, works hard to get you amazing photos, and it definitely shows. Andrew & his assistant literally rearranged my hotel room multiple times to provide the perfect staging for the getting ready photos! He provides guidance with poses and shows you previews while he is shooting to make sure you're happy with them. I let Andrew know my "good side" and things I wanted highlighted/downplayed, and WOW he remembered all the little things for *every* photo. He is also a bit of a perfectionist which I definitely appreciated! Bottom-line: HIGHLY recommend Andrew! I'm already thinking of excuses to use him again (anniversary shoot anyone?) :D

    Andrew was recommended to us by one of my bridesmaids. He took our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. He was great at communicating with us prior to each session and we are SO thrilled with all of our photos. It was great collaborating with him for our glam/DTLA themed engagement photos and the photos were really breathtaking. He took the time to make sure the lighting and photo composition was perfect. He also did a walk through at our venue prior to the wedding so we could talk about some different photo locations and ideas. Overall, the photos Andrew captured so much from our wedding day and we hope to work with him again soon!

    Andrew was our amazing photographer for our proposal and he did an amazing job capturing the very special moment! My now husband, asked him to shoot the surprise proposal at a Corona Del Mar beach. I had no idea that any of this was going to happen, or that a photographer was hiding amongst the shrubbery and rocks as we proceeded to walk down to the beach. After the question was popped, Andrew then came closer and took more photos. The photos came out beautifully and Andrew made us feel comfortable the whole time. He captured many candid moments, as well as directed us when we had no idea what to do. Andrew is kind, professional and funny and having positive, warm energy from a photographer made the whole experience really fun and enjoyable. Can't thank him enough for the stunning photos and for being such an awesome human! Highly recommend ! :)

From maternity sessions to newborn shoots and first birthdays for both of my children, she has beautifully documented every milestone. Each photo she delivers is stunning, and they only become more meaningful as my children grow. Looking back at them always brings me so much joy. Truly, once you experience Cathy's work, it's hard to imagine working with anyone else What sets Cathy apart is her incredible attention to detail and organization. She takes the time--before, during, and after each session--to ensure everything turns out perfectly. She's easy to communicate with, genuinely listens to what you want, and goes above and beyond to make it happen. Her studio is also spotless and welcoming, making the entire experience comfortable for everyone. Highly, highly recommend!

We had a hard time selecting outfits so she even looked for some outfits for us on Amazon. She took a family portrait of us with 7 adults, 1 baby, and 1 dog - amazing! Also we requested Chinese Zhua Zhou (brought our own props) in the photos to honor my culture, she accommodated that. Lastly, she's very honest about what's recommended and what's not based on the baby's attention span. I really appreciated that as a first time parent. In conclusion, highly recommend!!

We stopped by on a weekday in the late afternoon and practically had the place to ourselves. Another family arrived shortly after, but it was still very relaxed and easygoing. The process was super simple. You can make a reservation, but we just walked in without any issues. We did the white background setup for 15 minutes, which was perfect and definitely a must if you're taking photos with little kids. There were a few technical difficulties during our session, but the staff member was incredibly accommodating. He paused the timer and gave us those minutes back so we didn't lose any of our shoot time. The pricing is great too! The package includes 2 people and 3 printed 4x6 photos of your favorite shots. Additional people are only $5 each, but they didn't charge us for our toddler or newborn, which was such a nice surprise. One of the best parts is that you get access to download every single digital photo from your session, not just a select few. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and ended up with so many great family photos. definitely considering coming back for another shoot

The parking lot is consistently busy, so finding a spot can be a hit or miss. Ambiance/Environment: The studio is located inside the AR Gallery. Once you enter the AR Gallery, you'll see the studio on your right. They have an extremely small space with two rooms. One room features white walls, and the other room features colored backgrounds. There's many props from headbands and hats to chairs and stools and more! Some props can use a cleaning, but you can't really see it in the photos. Service: I decided to do a walk-in, so I didn't book an appointment or prepay online. They only take walk-ins starting at 11:30. They're not busy on weekdays but busier during the weekends. I completely forgot his name, but the worker that checked me in was nice, efficient, and knowledgable about the offerings. They provide a large screen with gridlines, lighting, and a small remote. They'll give you a timer, so you'll know exactly how much time you have left during your session. Studio Session & Photos: I chose the 5 minute session with the colored background. You'd choose two colors out of five options. Since I chose the colored walls, let the worker know when you're ready to switch colors. They'll pause the timer, switch the background, and continue the timer. The small remote is easy to hide in the photos. The lighting is perfect, and the photos came out amazing! Pricing: All details and prices are on their website. It's easy to book an appointment online. Since my birthday was three days away, the worker gave me a 10% discount. They also offer other discounts. All details are listed on their website. Highly recommend this studio!

From the beginning, he was very responsive and communicative about his services, expectations and things to consider for the big day. As someone who was planning her own wedding and did not have a coordinator, I very much appreciated his guidance and wisdom since he has so much experience with shooting weddings! He was very understanding and patient when it came to details regarding my timeline (which I sent to him only a week before the event). On the day of, we were running late in the morning, but Justin showed up early and even kindly stayed 20 minutes later than scheduled to make sure we could squeeze in all the group pictures that we wanted. Also, to both of our surprises, my uncle showed up with a camera, but Justin was very understanding and accommodating about the matter and made sure both he and my uncle were able to capture shots without getting in each other's ways. Justin did such a wonderful job positioning my husband and me for shots. We did not really come with any ideas in mind, but Justin had such a wide array of poses, both direct and candid, that we absolutely loved. He also did such a great job showcasing both of us individually and fluffing my train/highlighting the beauty of my wedding dress! Andrew, his son and the second photographer, was also so sweet and helped make sure the full effect of my veil was captured on camera. I am also so appreciative that they went out of their way and captured some special moments via video for us to have (we did not have a videographer). Overall, Justin and his team are extremely friendly, professional and flexible with the best possible attitude and careful attention to detail. I cannot believe the sheer amount of pictures that I received from the wedding day and how much time it must have taken them to carefully touch up and edit each and every single photo. Most of my pictures were taken indoors, but the lighting in the photos is immaculate. Truly, I am so grateful to have hired Justin and his team for my special day, and I would not hesitate to book and recommend him for any future photography needs.
