My wife was preparing for our daughter's 1st birthday party and we thought of hiring a photographer…read moreto take some pictures for us because we wanted to capture the event as much as possible but we knew we won't have time to do so on top of entertaining all of our guests. We wanted taking pictures one less thing to worry about. We got to searching and my wife found Lux. They seemed pretty decent so we gave them a shot. I really was not expecting much... I just need all the pictures that they could take that we can look back to years from now. The day of the party came, Spike and his videographer (sorry I forget his name) were there ready to go. I was surprised with their game plan. They literally were like ninjas, blending in the crowds and our guests didn't notice they were there while taking pictures and videos. Pretty awesome. But also, when we need them to take over and gather guests up for some group photo-ops, they made sure they got everyone. I was all over the place at the party that day so I didn't really get to manage them much or tell them to capture this and that... I just let them do their thing. After the party, we waited about a week and a half to get the pictures and videos. Spike's estimate was 2 weeks so he was early. I was so pleasantly surprised about the results. The pictures are amazing! Most of the captured moments were candid and it really takes me back to the party everytime I look at them. The short video was also very nicely done. The song they picked was right on and I think I watched it over 100 times. No joke and I'm not exaggerating. I would upload it here if it wasn't too big. Hiring Lux to capture our daughter's 1st birthday party was just another idea from the many that we thought of to make the party happen, but what we got from Spike and his team is something that is priceless: BEAUTIFUL memories from the party that will last us years, even decades. This is something that my daughter can look back to when she's older. Thank you again, Spike! my $0.02.

Ive had the honor of having Lux Studio capture several special moments in my life! I am more than…read moregrateful for their level of professionalism (Even under extreme hot So Cal weather) and flexibility. My favorite event was having them capture my maternity photos at home where they allowed me to come up with ideas and props and they posed us and gave us ideas. Now we have beautiful maternity photos with our very home as the background. I am often impressed with the owner, Spike's artistic eye to capture beautiful moments and details. He is also good at editing photos customized to my specific taste. Their pricing is also very reasonable for the amount of work and professional they put into their work. I highly recommend Lux Film Studio to capture your special moments!

Hopefully this is not too overdue. I had worked with Edwin about 2 months ago for my wedding day…read more It was a pleasure with him. Edwin was very professional and attentive.

Not to mention their photo's are absolutely stunning. Just check out their website. You definitely get what you see! Ray was very communicative about the plans and details, both of them kept us on schedule on our wedding day, and made sure to capture all of the important moments. Additionally, their photo packages are the best I found! If I ever got re-married, I would work with them again and they are the Photographers I recommend to my Family and Friends!

When I started wedding planning, Ray was recommended to us by a friend of mine who had been a maid…read moreof honor in another wedding Ray did. What appealed to me most was that their photos were natural looking, I'd been frightened by one too many Addams family-style wedding photos on my Facebook feed. Ray did our engagement photos and helped make us very comfortable (I'm not usually comfortable in front of the camera) and the pictures came out gorgeous. We got a lot of compliments on the photos. Today we got our wedding photographs and we were completely blown away with them. They came out so gorgeous! The editing is spectacular, they really know what it takes to get a really good photo. I'd like to write more but I'm left speechless by the quality of the photos. I also didn't expect to receive so many photos and am still finding new things I didn't expect every time I look at them. They are clearly a very talented couple who I hope to use again in the next several years once we start a family. Thank you both so much, I cannot say enough good things about you guys. EDIT: We got our final flash drive today and it came with some extra touches from Ray and Terry that blew us away even more and I can't believe how fortuitous it was that they were recommended to me, they were probably the best vendor I've ever worked with.

For example, he'll tell a joke so that you can laugh, and, as a good photographer would, capture that moment of laughter. Also, since I worked with him in the newsroom, I was able to see some of his work published on the CSULB website. I recommend ya'll check that out as well, (or just go to his website). Apart from the photography, he's also a great videographer and video editor. Like, he showed me footage of a wedding he filmed, and it looked so professional. After seeing his work, I recommend him to anyone! Here's a link to the Johnny's photography that I ending up using for my professional website: http://crystalniebla.weebly.com/

Booking the session was extremely easy and he even suggested a few locations for our park session. The day of the session he was on time, very professional & easy going. The park was rustic and it was very casual atmosphere, which is what we wanted. I don't know about you, but everyone has a family member who just refuses to smile. I have two my 2 year old niece & my mom. He did a great job with both of them. A few jokes and we ended up with some amazing natural smiling pictures. My niece ended up playing peek a boo with him at one point and the pictures came out adorable! The session never felt corny or uncomfortable. I didn't even realize how fast the time went by. I was very impressed when we went to his office and viewed the photos he had captured. They were amazing! I loved every single one. The natural lighting the poses all looked great. The hardest thing was picking out which ones I wanted in what size. I wanted them ALL. Wont bore you with that. If your looking for a photographer you could NEVER go wrong with him. Strongly recommend him and will be using him again. Thank You Miguel for capturing my family with pictures words cannot begin to describe.

I've been in other weddings and seen how other photographers work, and this team is just on another level. They are your built-in hype team, which is huge and really have a passion and love for what they do. They listened to what we wanted and really customized everything to fit our vibe. We got such a good mix of beautiful candid moments, some super cool/badass shots, and some funny ones that feel really like us! My husband and I are huge Office fans, so I asked them to make an Office-style intro for our wedding video, and they absolutely killed it. It was such a fun surprise for him and made everything feel even more personal and special. They were also so detailed the entire day -- always fixing our hair, making sure everything looked right, and made sure to work every angel to get the best shot. I can't recommend them enough!

Not only is he extremely talented and professional, but the video came earlier than expected just in time for our reception and I couldn't have been happier with it. I can't stop watching it and will cherish it for the rest of my life as he perfectly captured our day. Would highly recommend Albert time and time again!

In fact, he is the only photographer I know who beats event coordinators at being organized because he is so meticulous and such a thorough planner. Because of this, I trust his skills and it shows through his pictures. For the most part, Lawrence never has to retouch or photoshop any of his photographs. His attention to detail and knowledge in technicalities of photography makes him stand out from all the wannabe photographers who call themselves professional just cause they own an expensive camera. There is a big difference between a hack and a person who really studies the art of photography. Just because you have an eye for things doesn't make you a good photographer. I mean, I'm creative and I have an eye for hair and make up but I cannot take a good picture even with the aid of instagram. Every photo session I do with Lawrence is always fun and different. The more out there it is the better! I would recommend his style of photography for anyone who doesn't want the typical glamour pictures. Lawrence tells a story through his photography. If you hire him for your wedding, he will personalize your pictures to fit you and your significant other. Be ready to be different. You will not be doing the standard pose.
