So this review has been a year in the making as we did our engagement session, wedding, and trash…read morethe dress with Behzad. At first glance everything looks and sounds amazing. He has a very boutique studio on Robertson, and his pictures are truly breathtaking. There is no doubt that he is a talented photographer and can bring that special touch to your day. My husband I were excited to sign with him because we had heard horror stories about other photographers and when we explained what we wanted and were looking for, we were given the utmost assurance that all would be done as requested. Fast forward to the actual sessions: Engagement session: We met at a park in West LA. Beautiful pictures, all done within a 40 min session. I did ask whether more time was needed but Behzad mentioned that he got what he wanted, so I didn't ask questions. In all honesty the pictures were beautiful and artistic however I was left feeling like we could have had more positions, maybe an outfit change, maybe even a different location to mix things up a bit, but again, I was happy with the pictures. What I wasn't happy with was my bra strap showing and him never telling me to fix it, and better yet not air brushing it out of the final album he made for my guests to sign on my wedding day. Attention to detail: not so much. Wedding Day: We had initially signed a contract asking for 2 photo and 2 videographers, but he sent 3 people to my hotel and 2 to our house where my husband was getting ready so that was an added bonus. I was getting ready at the Westlake Village Inn, and anyone who has been there can vouch it is one of the most beautiful and romantic hotels. Behzad was somewhat solemn and in a bit of a mood that day. He seemed a bit annoyed with the pace that we were getting ready at, and my family almost had words with him and the crew because they were sitting around and refusing to take pictures of the family that was at the hotel because they were waiting for the groom to come. Once my husband came we went around the grounds and took some amazing pictures and what I thought were videos. I remember specifically asking whether we had shots of the grounds so that our final video would have a "story" and I was assured that there was enough video. Our actual wedding was at the Los Robles Greens Golf Course, which is another beautiful venue with lots of greenery and natural beauty. I had ordered white lounge furniture and had asked that we incorporate them into our pictures but after the ceremony the entire immediate family was shoved into the small bridal room for our FAMILY pictures. There was enough room for a cough and a few chairs and our pictures have random pillows in the background and it just looks sloppy and messy. We then had pictures at the entrance gate with the family because we got tired of being stuck in the small room, and those have shadows on our faces and half of us are squinting because the sun is in our eyes. The pictures of our first dance are absolutely amazing because we have great lighting from the sunset and such, but there is no picture of myself and my husband at the sweetheart table I worked so hard to design, no pictures of people at their tables...things you would expect as routine. The video from the ceremony was pretty bad and had to be re-edited because there was a lot of background noise and screeching going on. The second time around things were better but the person editing the videos basically used my own songs that I chose for my recessional and first dance to dub over the 6 minute vignette, without any ingenuity or artistic touches. He also cut from video of us dancing and went to us getting dinner and then cut back to the same song and people dancing....weird and disjointed progression in a video if you ask me. Trash the dress: I spent a lot of money for hair and makeup, got back into my dress, convinced my hubby to get back into his tux, and met at Pepperdine for the trash the dress session. Things went ok there but the final video and photo proposal that was sent to us didn't even have those pictures incorporated, after 3 months of waiting. I emailed and complained and after another month the 'retouched' and 'reedited' photo and video was sent to us; still missing the videos of the hotel grounds that I had specifically asked for in writing several times, still having the weird sound effects during our ceremony, this time with random music during our 6 minute vignette which cuts off and restarts with another song, etc. Behzad is a great photographer but he didn't perform to his abilities, his video editing was sub-par, his delays were unacceptable, and the overall quality left me unimpressed. I'm saddened by this because he came highly recommended and we paid $$$ for this package, and I expected more professionalism and better management of the editing since he put his name on the end product.

My wedding coordinator recommended Behzad for my wedding video/pictures. The package we picked…read moreincluded an engagement shoot, wedding video (with crane) and photography, and a trash the dress session. The pictures are beautiful, and we really like our wedding video (especially the 20 minute version which has all of the highlights). The best part, however, would have to be the wedding album he put together for us. I've never seen an album with such great quality. It is truly breathtaking and something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. I gave Behzad 4 out of 5 stars as it took us a year to get everything. Part of it was my fault for not staying on top of it to select pictures to be printed, but it would have been nice if he reached out to notify me of what he needed to proceed. As long as you stay on top of it, I'm sure you will receive your pictures/video/albums back much faster. Overall, we are very happy with the memories Behzad helped us to preserve!

He was on time, took a lot of pictures for us to choose from, was polite, friendly and took charge when he needed to (i.e. asking relatives to move when they were in his way).

On top of all of these positives, his rates are very reasonable. I would definitely use JPapa again for our photography needs!

Not to mention, the pictures turned out amazing! we will definitely go with Jpapa for all our occasions! PS. Jessica / John reply to your messages quickly.

Ramil is simply amazing! He is a wonderful photographer with a phenomenal eye. I have had the…read moreprivilege of having Ramil shoot several events for me and I couldn't be happier with the images. He doesn't just take pictures, Ramil captures the experience. He is far more talented than most photographers that charge much more. As if that wasn't enough, he is a nice guy and someone you want to have around you at your event. That is so important, especially for weddings. He is extremely professional and doesn't have an ego like many photographers do, which is so refreshing. Ramil will continue to be my go-to photographer anytime I need professional shots done for my family or for events. I highly recommend Ramil Photography. Update: A bride that I recommended Ramil Photography to has just booked him for a wedding early next year. She based this on pictures she has seen him take for me. I am definitely looking forward to seeing her wedding photos!

We found cheaper photographers, but their photos were not nearly as nice. We really liked Thomas' modern, photo journalistic approach that made it look like a beautiful moment captured in time instead of a forced pose. He has a level of skill that you would normally find in a more expensive photographer, yet he charges a reasonable price. We decided on an engagement session at the Disney Concert Hall and neighboring areas. We had some ideas of our own that Thomas put his own spin on and made them even better than we could've imagined! My husband and I aren't used to having our photos taken and he was very patient with us and made us feel comfortable. The photos turned out so beautiful and unique! We got a ton of compliments on them! For our wedding, Thomas and his team were early and did a wonderful job keeping up with everything. His photos captured the excitement and happiness we felt and we're really happy we have these photos to look back on. I think your photographer is the most important thing you can invest in for your wedding, because after the day is over, you'll only have those photos to look back on. Thomas was a great investment for us!

We could not be happier with the results. His prices are good and his work is simply amazing. For our engagement photos, Binh suggested places that would be good to take photos. He knew all the spots that were good for photo taking. We went to 3 different locations which took a while because of traffic but he was ok with it. He was so professional and made us feel really comfortable because we were so nervous. Our pictures came out of natural and beautiful. We had so much fun doing our engagement photo shoot. When it came closer to our wedding day, we provided Binh with our time schedule. He arrived early to our venue to get an idea of where he needed to be to capture each moment. He got pictures of my dress, first look, ceremony, reception, our grand entrance, first dance, etc. The day went by so fast that everything was a blur. If it wasn't for Binh capturing everything, I probably won't even remember majority of what happened. We got our pictures within 2 weeks. I would highly recommend Binh. I will definitely go back to him for any future photos needed.
