Joon was the photographer at our wedding, and we could not have asked for a more professional, easy person to work with who delivered exceptional quality within our budget. We were referred to Joon by another photographer, and I was originally looking to book Joon for an engagement photoshoot. I had been planning the engagement for around midday, and while Joon said he could certainly deliver, he advised that the sunlight would be harsh and potentially make for unflattering lighting. His feedback prompted me to change my proposal plans to a different day and location in NorCal. Several months later, when we locked in our venue in SoCal, I remembered Joon's helpful advice, reached out, and booked him for our wedding! On the wedding day, Joon arrived early to scout the location, did a "first look" with me and my partner at some beautiful spots he had picked out, and shot tirelessly throughout the 4 hours. He was always available and amenable when we asked to take certain photos with friends and family. He also captured so many candid moments that were fun to look back on, including some that my partner and I missed during the whirlwind of the day. For those who aren't comfortable in front of a camera, Joon does a great job of providing direction. After the wedding, Joon sent about a dozen preview photos within a week or so to check his editing style. Everything looked great at that point. My partner and I ultimately received several hundred edited photos about 3 weeks after the wedding. We were so pleased with how everything turned out. We would highly recommend Joon for any folks located in the SoCal with photography needs! read more

Luminous Photo 9 - Session Photography Near Me

Had our engagement photoshoot with Joon back in February. It was our first ever photoshoot, and the results made us wonder why we didn't do it any sooner. Joon is very polite, professional and patient. Also gave us a lot of great tips and tricks. I have an awkward smile when it comes to photos but that didn't matter because the photos came out amazing. Probably because he guides us throughout the shoot very well. Overall, it was a great experience for us, we learned a lot of things, and received above and beyond quality photos. Highly recommend :) read more

I would highly Luminous Photo 9 for photography services. Joon and his services were incredible! We actually found him as a referral from another photographer who was unavailable for our wedding date, and could not have been more pleased. He was quick to respond, flexible to our needs, and had great communication. We had never really done professional photos before, but not to worry, because he is a professional and was there to help find the nice back drops with good lighting and was even able to help direct us in posing for great photos. The turnaround time to get our photos was quicker than expected, which was not necessary, but very welcomed. Pricing was totally reasonable. I would absolutely hire Joon again. Just stop looking now and hire Joon for your photography needs. Seriously. You won't regret it. Also, it was a super small thing, but made a huge impact... in searching for the photography services, we reached out to probably about 15 different businesses/photographers, and Joon (and his referring colleague) were the only ones to wish us congratulations on our wedding before even booking services. It was such a small thing, but made quite the impactful difference. Thanks Joon!! read more

My husband and I are very happy and satisfied with Joon's work and services. We hired him for a full day, 10-hour wedding photography service. Our wedding included a tea ceremony, Catholic Church wedding, and it ended with a wedding reception at Vintage Rose in Orange. From the very beginning of our conversations via email, Joon was already very eager and prompt in responding to whatever questions and concerns I had. I was very concerned that my husband and I would not have enough time to take romantic pictures because of our busy wedding day schedule, but Joon was able to develop a manageable timeline for us. He gave us support and reassurance that we would have the pictures that we wanted despite the hectic timeline of the day. On the day of our wedding, Joon and his colleague came in early and on-time. They were already taking pictures of our venue and our guests, as we had previously discussed. Joon also came in ready with all of his equipment and he was very proactive in taking pictures all throughout the day. He managed to make photo backdrops of the simplest random backgrounds and used them for photo opportunities, and I was very impressed by that. On top of the professionalism that he showed us before and during the wedding, Joon was also very cordial and easy to work with. My husband and I rarely do photoshoots, but Joon was able to direct and advise us respectfully with what poses would be great for our memorable day. I had sent him specific pictures that I wanted to emulate and he successfully delivered on that day. I had forgotten most of those poses but he made sure that we were able to capture those moments. As promised, we received our photos on time, and we were in awe with the outcomes! So many great photos to look at and share with to family and friends. Overall, we recommend Joon and his work! Not only is he professional and efficient, but he is also very passionate about his job that it transcends on all of his photos. read more
