My fiancé and I loved working with Stephanie for a surprise proposal video and photoshoot…read more 1. She was very communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. From receiving the quote all the way to the finalization of the gallery, she never stopped answering questions and always had recommendations to make everything better and smoother. 2. She had fun energy and made the photoshoot enjoyable and memorable. Both my fiancé and I are introverted people that don't really take a lot of pictures. However, working with Stephanie was such an easy and relaxed experience. 3. She does her research and it shows. She is based in LA / OC County, I did request her to come out to Northern San Diego County. I had chosen one spot for the proposal. She came back to me and asked if we would also like to take pictures at another spot a few miles away. So while we originally only had one place to take pictures, we ended up taking pictures at two different places that were both great. 4. The photos came out amazing. The entire galley of photos she had were amazing and we wish we could have kept them all. The hardest part about the entire process were narrowing down our favorite photos in the galley. 10/10 Would Take More Pictures with Stephanie

From the beginning to the day of, they made everything so easy. There was someone who was always available if either me or my couple had questions, for one. Scheduling meetings and engagement shoot was great. Joey's Jonathan was our photographer at the wedding, and he and his assistant were wonderful and fun. They were great with the guests, and great sticking to a pretty short timeline, with some helpful suggestions. I'd love to work with them again. - Liz Coopersmith Silver Charm Events

When I was first looking for a photographer, I was in awe of his variety of artistic and breathtaking photos on his site from other weddings & events. As a fellow creative, I wanted someone that could see the possibilities and offer unique photos and he went above and beyond that! Joey really put us at ease with his fun energy & sense of humor. We all had a great time laughing with our wedding party and everyone. Joey and his team are so friendly, creative and professional. We really appreciate how quickly Joey and Mr. Tracy responded to our questions in the beginning and in the consultation. Even with the heatwave in LA of our wedding weekend, our photos came out AMAZING. The love, joy and giddiness of that day is captured along with the little details in our centerpieces and other things that we made for our wedding. Here's a few our favorite photos from the preview. We're so excited to see the rest! We highly recommend Joey Ikemoto Photography!! Thank you so much Joey and team for everything!

I am very type-A so I really appreciated the level of responsiveness and accommodation that Alex provided. She was very prompt with her email, I was able to discuss ideas I had months in advance, outfit options, and even shared my Pinterest board with her so she was very aware of what I was looking for and delivered just that! She also accommodated an outfit change and multiple locations. She spent just over two hours with us and did not rush through the photos at all, even offering suggestions or taking extra time to put us in certain poses or locations that would allow her a good shot. Our photos - digital and film style! - were delivered to us within two weeks and we were really happy with the results. She is clearly a talent and very good at what she does. During the shoot, she was so easy to work with and encouraging - always offering her honest opinion and making us feel happy and relaxed throughout. And if you can believe...she did all of that and delivered this level of service while being nine-months pregnant! I wouldn't hesitate to hire Alex again for any of our family shoots in the future! High quality photography and equal level of service! Thanks again, Alex!

Her images are stunning, and she does a remarkable job at capturing people's most significant moments. Not to mention, she's SUCH a cool person, and talented at understanding what people need and want. She can make anyone feel like a million bucks, and make them look like it too. I could rave for hours about this girl. But just take my word for it. She will take care of you, and you will be thrilled about having her capture what's important to you. I will 100% be having her with her camera at everything I want documented in life...and documented beautifully.

She basically ghosted me after the first few texts about the services she offered and the costs. It also sounds like there were other people that were treated the same way.
