She has an amazing talent for capturing those special moments, which isn't easy when some of your subjects are 3 years old (in our case). The images she has taken of our family will be cherished memories for years to come. We could not recommend her any more strongly if we tried!

I'm fairly disappointed with my experience here. It has also made me decide I probably will take my…read moreown photos of my kid, rather than continuing to pay anyone. What's included in the package is made unclear, so I never got what I expected. In addition, during the shoot he said that he could take my arm out if I had it on my kiddo and when I reminded him of this later, he said that was considered a complex edit and would cost money but they'd do it complmenetary that time. Had he told me this at the time of the shoot, we would have done something differently to get photos without me there in the background. Not cool.

We just got the photos back and my whole family was really happy with how they turned out. Highly recommend him!

Everyone on the team was incredibly helpful, the hanboks were stunning, and the MCs that day were simply amazing. The ceremony backdrop and table decor were thoughtfully and beautifully arranged, making for incredible photos that we'll cherish forever. Throughout the ceremony, they took the time to explain the traditions, which helped our guests fully appreciate and connect with this special tribute to my heritage. Guests have been talking about it for weeks! We're already looking forward to working with Oh Happy Day again for other important Korean celebrations, like our future children's 100 Day Celebration. We can't recommend them enough!

All three occasions were absolutely amazing. I dealt directly with Argentina herself who is absolutely wonderful. She really knows what she is doing. I loved all of my wedding and engagement photos.

Argentina and her staff made me feel very comfortable and the positions were difficult but she definitely made me look good. I would recommend her to anyone and can't wait for another occasion to be photographed by her.

She got the CD to us by the following week. With other photographers, we had to wait at least a month and usually had to pay through the roof to get prints without a watermark. Alina's pricing was very reasonable and we were very happy with our pictures. We will definitely be calling her in the future.
