My wife and I received services from MoAE Story for our engagement and wedding pictures. We first…read moremet at their studio for a consultation and were very easy to work with and explain our vision. Our first shoot was at San Juan Capistrano for Engagement Pictures. They were punctual, professional, extremely patient and courteous, and guided us throughout the entire day. The photos came out great, a few weeks before our wedding, so we were able to use them in a slideshow at our reception. For the day of the wedding, again they showed up right when expected, with plenty of gear and energy for the long day ahead. They were never in the way throughout the ceremony and reception, but knew exactly when to step in and suggest certain shots and locations. Having shot at the Hacienda in Santa Ana a week or two before was to our benefit as they knew about some hidden spots to take great pics. Within a month we received a TON of pictures on a 16GB Flash Drive and it was great relieving the moments again. We would recommend MoAE Story to anyone looking for sweet yet professional, talented and hard-working photographers in Orange County.

This review is way beyond past overdue. And normally I'd be too busy (lazy) to post a review about…read morean overdue experience, but I must share how wonderful Moae Photography is. Moae Photography took my son O's 1st Birthday photos last year. I wish I remembered his name (Moae's husband)....but it's a husband/wife team of really friendly, talented photographers. To be honest, I don't even recall how I found them in the first place. I blame momnesia. They both met us at Katie Wheeler Library in Irvine on a ridiculously hot day last September. O did not walk back then, so we had to hold that little sucker the entire shoot. And I'll be the first one to admit - my firstborn was/is not the calmest, gentlest, easiet baby. I think he cried 80% of the shoot. Mr. Moae was behind the camera that day. Moae was there to help out. Despite an uncooperative baby and weather, Mr. Moae was so x 100 friendly, patient, kind, and Moae tried anything and everything to make O smile (more like stop crying). They brought all the props necessary and albeit the library is tiny but they knew all the right places to go to for the best photos. Mr. Moae came to O's birthday party a few weeks after this outdoor shoot and he did an amzaing job there, too. I think he stayed longer than he was contracted to and I remember him being professional and friendly the entire time. Now this is where the real review begins.... Since O's first birthday, I had a second baby. Don't get me wrong. Mr. Moae was really good. Our outdoor and party photos came out great. But recently, Moae herself took my second son G's 100 day photos. And I'm just being honest since this is an honest review, but I think she's better than her hubs. (Gawd, I hope I don't cause World War III in their household but being honest never hurt, right?) They are both unbelievably patient and friendly. But I think her photos are even better. So I truly think they (she) deserves a review now. We didn't plan on doing 100 day photos for G. But with G completing our family - our bare walls deserved a photo or two of us. I didn't hesitate about which photographer I should contact. With a tight budget (a new house, another baby...we were getting robbed every month), I knew Moae Photography's prices were reasonable, if not the best bang for our buck. I didn't know it was going to be Moae herself this time around until we showed up for the session. (And my choice to book them was soley based on her husband's work last year, so I'm not lying...he's really great too! **my guilty conscience..) Moae offered a complimentary outdoor shoot along with the studio session. Can I just say - their studio is just too cute! And the package was only for 40 photos but we recently received the file of all of the phtoos and she took waaay more! And the package was really for G, but it ended up being a family photo session, and I'm sure taking photos of four is much more difficult than taking photos of just one 3 month old. This day was stinkin' hot, too! And did I mention, my firstborn O, is not the most cooperative child? As if he needed to prove he's the same boy from last year's photo session, this day, he was just as uncooperative. Not crying this time around but running off, not wanting to sit for pictures, wanting to get into and touch anything and everything in sight. But somehow, Moae was able to capture the most amazing shots. Watching my rambunctious toddler made me tired. I kept wanting to call it a day, but she kept coming up with a different location, different poses, different shots. I coudln't believe how patient and professional she was. Her photos of O make him look like was an angel that day. God is fair, because my second son G, truly was an angel that day. Moae took the cutest photos of G and I couldn't be more grateful. I would highly recommend Moae to anyone out there looking to do a baby/family photo shoot. Her prices are unbeatable. Her studio is to die for. She is so gentle and friendly with the little ones. Most importantly...her work is amazing! I know there are tons of photoraphy offers/specials that pop up on livingsocial / groupon / yelp, but I didn't want to fall for those deals only to get pressured to buy prints or get jipped on limited number of photos, time, and attention. There is none of that with Moae. Without a doubt, I will be contacting her again for G's 1st birthday early next year!

Vuong and Sophie were easy to communicate with and were very flexible with our busy work schedules and got the pre-wedding photos and large frame picture done in a timely manner. On our wedding, Kim's team helped made the day smooth and were always ready for photos (we were the disorganized party, oops) and were receptive to any ideas we give them. My vest fitted badly because I did not adjust them correctly but once they saw how misaligned it was they helped me fix it and retook the photos before the mistake was noticed. Overall I would highly recommend their team and the videography team as they work nicely together.

In the end, they put all my photos on a USB that they provided themselves, and I just had to pick it up from their house.

Not only were they professional, but they were also just pure and kind humans, and so enjoyable to be around! We had little pockets of conversation throughout the event, and each interaction was so easy and effortless. They definitely brought great energy to the celebration. I'd love to work alongside D.

After speaking to dozens of other photographers who made their services seem SO difficult and overly complicated and needlessly super expensive, Conrad's process is the easiest and makes complete business sense.

The experience from start to finish was positive and stress free. I found this business on Yelp and easily booked a shoot time. We were provided tips via email on what to wear/not wear. Conrad also called to discuss in depth what was needed. On the day of the shoot, Conrad was fluid with his instructions for poses. He was articulate, kind, and knew exactly how to coach. I have worked with several photographers for work/family, etc and I can tell Conrad is a true master of his art and professional. Selecting our poses and retouches was easy, with a quick turn-around. Overall, the experience was pleasant and reasonably priced, with great customer service. Highly recommended!

After seeing my friend Kelli's photos from different occasions, I had to ask her who her…read morephotographer is. Of course, she has an attractive family, however in addition to that I was so taken with the poses, the lighting, the locations and just everything about them. With the holidays coming up I contacted her photographer right away and received a prompt response which I very much appreciated. We were fortunate enough to be able to coordinate our family (8 people) with the schedule of Erin @Loveisaphoto that worked for all of us. Unfortunately, we had a family emergency and had to reschedule. I contacted Erin immediately to reschedule for a later date and found her to be very understanding and cooperative. We set a date that worked best for us, coordinated everyone and then it didn't just rain, it poured. Erin was on top of things, found us the perfect location and we were all set. As the saying goes "third time's the charm" and boy was it ever. We met Erin and she was as professional and sweet as could be. We walked out to the location, and Erin immediately got things going. With a 9-month-old and a 3 1/2 year old I was so happy to see how they both warmed up to her sweet personality and smiled and laughed. Erin had such creativity in poses and positioning all of us. Her attention to detail is one of the things that most impressed me. If hair was out of place she would walk up to us and fix it, if a pant leg on one of the kids was up she would walk over and fix it. Things I would not have even thought of. We had three generations of family members, and she captured the best of all of us. We were anxiously awaiting the photos and surprisingly it was only two weeks when I received an email letting us know that our photos are ready to download. I have no words to describe how I felt as I started looking at the photos. I was blown away with every single photo. They were perfect. There was not a single thing that I would change about them. We were all so happy. This was the first time our grandchildren had professional photos taken and by looking at how they all turned out, you would never know that. She had a way with the kids. She was so gentle and kind when speaking with them and they very much cooperated with her. My daughter-in-law had tears of joy when she saw the photos of her boys and her little family. Erin captured unexpected moments. Now the hard part is choosing the ones I want to print. If you are looking to have family photos, special occasions photos, wedding photos or just some fun photos, I would highly recommend you consider @Loveisaphoto to capture your special day. @lovisaphoto would have been the definite choice for my wedding except for the fact she was not born 40 years ago. Had she been I would not have given it a second thought before booking Lovisa Photo

I'm so excited to finally have a professional looking photo I am not embarassed to use! Perfect for LinkedIn, social media, or really anything else I might need it for.
