We booked JJ for our engagement and wedding photos and we absolutely loved the whole experience! Booking and coordinating with Trisha was super easy. She was very responsive and helped us make sure every was set for our engagement shoot. During our engagement shoot JJ made us feel very comfortable and we had a lot of fun. We knew WE HAD TO book him for our wedding. And even better, we were super happy with how our photos turned out. In preparation for the wedding, Trisha and JJ helped us coordinate the location and finalize our shot list for our photos. JJ also had some great ideas for our reception to make sure we captured important moments for us. On our wedding day, JJ and Jean (the second photographer) went above and beyond to make sure all the photos we wanted were captured. They were on time and helped us keep on schedule. They managed to coordinate and move our entire wedding party seamlessly (and everyone was happy with them!!) And once again, the photos were AMAZING. I can't wait to book JJ again for a future event. I can't recommend him enough!! He's the type of energy and talent you want on your wedding day. read more

JJ is talented! He is so easy going and super sweet. If you know exactly what you want for your photo session or you want some ideas and guidance, either way, JJ's got you! My family and I had a pregnancy/maternity photoshoot in Anaheim Hills. He suggested some great poses and knew where some cute spots would be for our photos. My nearly 2 year old is kind of a brat, but JJ had great patience and captured some cute photos of just her, too. When he gave us our photos, they were beautiful! I am not artistic or photography savvy at all so I don't know how to explain his style but he is a great photographer who I know captures great photos, be it maternity, engagement, wedding, whatever! He is a gem and we will be shooting with him more in the future and I know anyone else who works with him will love it! Thanks so much, JJ. read more

Had the pleasure of working with JJ for our wedding. He was very easy to work with, responded quickly to calls/emails, and was really flexible. We didn't make it easy for him during our wedding day, given the short time frames between locations and the amount of people involved. He exceeded our expectations with what he was given to work with. We also got our pictures within a month after our wedding, so that was great. I highly recommend JJ for your photo needs, he's great to work and puts what you want first. read more

As soon as I saw JJ's portfolio, I knew this was who I wanted to take my graduation photos. I could not be happier with my decision!! JJ was super personable, patient, and went above and beyond to help me get the shots and pictures I had in mind. I may not have been able to have a graduation ceremony due to COVID 19, but thanks to JJ, I have pictures i will love and look back at to remember the journey for the rest of my life! read more

JJ is an amazing photographer! We have an active toddler, and he was patient and creative when we had to take our family photos. He made it easy for us to relax and pose, and took direction throughout our session. The quality of photos is high resolution, and he really understands photography in natural lighting. Our photos came out amazing, and we are going to treasure our little moment in time forever. read more

JJ did a great job shooting my family and extended family for family portraits. We had two kid under the age 5 in the session and they were being particularly difficult that day but JJ was very patient with us. Trisha was easy to communicate with and flexible scheduling the shoot due to my daughter's napping schedule. The photos turned out amazing! We will definitely be booking them again for future family portraits. We highly recommend them for your events and portraits. read more

JJ is not only a great photographer but a great person. He has taken our engagement photos, wedding photos, and now graduation photos and all of them have turned out great. He makes the session run smoothly and makes you feel comfortable. Definitely would recommend him to anyone for any occasion and hope to see him again soon! read more

Words cannot express what a delightful ball of energy JJ is! My review is super overdue. JJ shot my tea ceremony last March. Tea ceremonies were new to him, but after briefing JJ on what shots we wanted, he flew with it! I love love love working with JJ! He got shots in without trampling on any of the guests. Everyone of my friends and family members who interacted with JJ thought he was a treat! I have to say, it's not always easy to find someone who is talented, charismatic, and professional to work with; it's even harder to find someone who's all of that and energetic and has fantastic work ethics. You won't be disappointed after working with JJ and his team. read more

As excited as we were for our wedding, both my now-husband and I were just a little nervous about the idea of so many photos being taken of us. Just speaking for myself, I know I'm super camera shy and feel really awkward in photos. THANK GOODNESS for JJ and Trisha with Ensemble Events. I'd known JJ for a while so it was comforting to know I'd be working with a friend. But besides totally putting us at ease, he and Trisha were also incredibly professional, efficient, and flexible. They made us laugh and gave us great suggestions so our photos turned out just as authentic and natural as we wanted it. After such a good experience with our engagement shoot, it was a no brainer to book them for our wedding as well. Aside from being absolutely everywhere he needed to be with his camera, JJ was also pretty much a second coordinator checking in on our timeline and making sure everything is running smoothly. I could go on, but I think the photos speak for themselves! read more

JJ and his team photographed our wedding and it could not have gone any better. We absolutely loved working with him as well as loved the photographs they took. Communication was easy. Very reasonably priced. We recommend him for any occasion that you would like professionally captured. read more

JJ was absolutely a dream to work with. I live in Sacramento and eloped down in Santa Barbara. I didn't even get to meet JJ until the day of the ceremony, but I felt super comfortable because he kept great communication the few months before. He was punctual and dependable and my wedding photos came out beautiful. Thank you JJ! read more

JJ is the best photographer you will find! I needed graduation photos and I found him through instagram. I was graduating with my masters and I didn't just want photos of me, I also wanted to take photos with my husband, mom and daughter (who is 3). Most photographers that I contacted wanted to charge an arm and a leg to add each person, so when I asked JJ he was very accommodating. When they day came to shoot, he was there with Trisha and they had all their equipment set up, they knew exactly where to go (they were literally on top of things!). We did the photoshoot at CSU, Long Beach and even though it was his first time shooting there he just knew ALL THE angles! We went to two more locations on campus and he was even able to get some candid shots with my daughter and I. How he managed to get an toddler to smile is beyond me, but he did it. Once I got my images (which was less than a week mind you), I was IN AWE! They were more than I could have imagined. I showed everyone my photos and they loved them! I wish he was around when I was getting married because I would have TOTALLY booked him! All my future photoshoots will be with JJ! read more

Jj and Trisha are an amazing team! They photographed my maternity pictures at a beautiful park picked out by JJ himself!!! Trisha helped coordinate our poses and fix my wild hair while Jj photographed! My photos came out more beautiful than ever!!! Ensemble events is your go to!

Ensemble Events. Thanks again Jj and Trisha for your talent and patience. You guys are the best! read more

JJ is not only extremely talented, he's also a genuinely nice person and so much fun to work with! JJ shot my maternity pictures and I was on the fence about even getting pictures because I felt so huge and blah. JJ and Trisha completely eased my insecurities and made the shoot so much fun! The pictures came out beautiful and I'm so incredibly grateful to have those pictures to look back on of such a special time in my life. So many friends and family commented on how gorgeous the pictures turned out! A side note is that I also work in the wedding industry and I can confidently recommend JJ to every single couple I work. I know he will give it 110% and do a phenomenal job each and every time. Don't look any further, book JJ! read more
