Andrew is one of kind. We have worked with him since our maternity shoot. He is very patient and calm. He takes time to get the shots you want and I have never felt rushed. We have trusted him and his company with our baby's naming ceremony and also her 1 year birthday. Photographs always come out impeccable. Thank you Andrew for capturing special moments during these milestones. read more

When my now husband and I got engaged, I knew Andrew was the only person I trusted to capture our special day. We loved that he was very easy to communicate with, patient, and adaptable throughout the entire process which made us feel at ease since wedding planning is already a stressful ordeal. 11/10 planning to hire him to capture our new family milestones for the coming years. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

We had the pleasure of Andrew's photography services for our small wedding a couple of weeks ago. We were on a limited budget, but we knew exactly what types of photos with friends and family we were interested in. We worked seamlessly with Andrew and he made it happen in the exact manner that worked for us. He took beautiful pictures, was a great communicator and we got a lot done in a short period of time. We think very highly of Andrew, his abilities, his style, etc. We recommend him without reservation! Thanks for making it a great day, Andrew! read more

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 read more

Andrew and his team shot our engagement shoot, pre-wedding, wedding and reception. My husband and I are NOT comfortable in front of the camera at all. But Andrew made us feel so comfortable... we actually had fun during all of our photo sessions! We never expected that. And on top of that, the final products were perfect! Andrew is really knowledgeable in his craft and takes the time and effort to get the right shot no matter the conditions! He was so patient and attentive to his work during times at our wedding where even I wanted to just quit due to the heat. He will climb rocks and his team will balance equipment around crashing waves to capture the perfect moment. He was also helpful in suggesting locations for shoots, and finding all the right spots at our event locations. His assistants were all great, easy to work with, and fun to be around! Everyone was very punctual and worked well with our coordinator. I never once wondered where our team was in the midst of wedding chaos. Also, we had a fairly big Indian wedding and he was very familiar with the rituals/customs and important moments to capture which was really important to us. I would recommend Andrew without hesitation! read more

When you're in the midst of wedding planning, we all know that each minuet detail feels like it takes hours of research and comparisons before making a choice... Working with Andrew was one of the few decisions I had to make that was easy. Photography was one of our top priorities when we were planning, and after reviewing Andrew's portfolio, I knew he would be able to get us the kinds of photos we wanted, and I was not disappointed. On top of the beautiful photos, he was so easy to work with, made sure my fiance and I were comfortable, and was on time every step of the way (including delivery of our photos!) I would re-hire Andrew for any event in the future with absolutely no worry or debate! read more

Andrew shot both portraits for my family and for my engagement/wedding pictures. He was not only super friendly and attentive, but also delivered our pictures very promptly.

I have had worked with other photographers for different events and I found that Andrew's talent, organization, and candor to be exceptional. read more

Andrew Kwak was our favorite vendor across our entire wedding. I personally thought wedding planning was stressful with so many random things to think about like lighting or chargers (that tbh I didn't care about) - but having a great photographer was something we knew we wanted and needed to invest in. All you have at the end of the day are your photos and we are so glad ours turned out amazing. Not only was Andrew great to work with from a service standpoint (not aggressive and pleasant/chill), but technically he's amazing. Also - we had a big fat Indian wedding and Andrew has a lot of experience doing Indian weddings! He knew what a baraat was, how to capture details of the Indian wedding ceremony and efficiently manage family photos after the ceremony. read more

Wow! We worked with Andrew on our family portraits. The pictures came out amazing! He was patient with us during our shoot and gave us good tips to pose well. Look forward to working with him again. Thank you Andrew for making our pictures special! read more

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! read more

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 ! :) read more

He scouted areas at both our ceremony and reception venues, and expertly chose settings and angles that resulted in stunning shots.
