From the beginning to the day of, they made everything so easy. There was someone who was always available if either me or my couple had questions, for one. Scheduling meetings and engagement shoot was great. Joey's Jonathan was our photographer at the wedding, and he and his assistant were wonderful and fun. They were great with the guests, and great sticking to a pretty short timeline, with some helpful suggestions. I'd love to work with them again. - Liz Coopersmith Silver Charm Events

We're so happy and lucky we got to have Joey Ikemoto and his team capture the beautiful memories of…read moreour special day!! When I was first looking for a photographer, I was in awe of his variety of artistic and breathtaking photos on his site from other weddings & events. As a fellow creative, I wanted someone that could see the possibilities and offer unique photos and he went above and beyond that! Joey really put us at ease with his fun energy & sense of humor. We all had a great time laughing with our wedding party and everyone. Joey and his team are so friendly, creative and professional. We really appreciate how quickly Joey and Mr. Tracy responded to our questions in the beginning and in the consultation. Even with the heatwave in LA of our wedding weekend, our photos came out AMAZING. The love, joy and giddiness of that day is captured along with the little details in our centerpieces and other things that we made for our wedding. Here's a few our favorite photos from the preview. We're so excited to see the rest! We highly recommend Joey Ikemoto Photography!! Thank you so much Joey and team for everything!

After continued attempts to get a hold of Angela via phone and emails, I finally tried TEXTING Angela in November. I was happy to see a text response from her! but then baffled when I read her message. I've attempted to post screenshots of the text exchange but it appears only a portion is posting. In summary, Angela stated she felt she was harassed by me and would not respond to my bullying tactics. Again, I was dumbfounded. Ultimately, she refused to return our $100 deposit and went silent on us again. In hindsight, I should have noticed that most of the Yelp reviews are over a year old. I don't see any recent reviews which should have been a red flag. I hope Angela is able to improve her operations and customer experience as she is clearly talented at taking beautiful photos.

For the newborn photoshoot, we spent the full four hours in Angela's studio, which allowed me, a first time mom, to really enjoy the process. Angela took great care of us every step of the way, from making sure the baby is comfortable during the naked baby pictures, to making sure mom and dad look ready and stress-free for the family pictures. I'm extremely happy with how the pictures turned out and the grandparents are so in love with all the pictures. If you're on the fence about doing a newborn photoshoot, please do it and go with Angela!

Hiring Ellie as our wedding photographer was the best decision I made while planning my wedding!…read moreEllie is so sweet and made us feel extremely comfortable while taking photos. My husband and I never know how to pose for photos, but at our request, Ellie provided detailed instructions for recreating the poses I wanted to capture on our wedding day. I recommend Ellie to anyone who will be your biggest cheerleader the day of your wedding and capture the loving, romantic mood of the day.

We initially chose Mike as our wedding photographer because of his editing style, which was very…read moreimportant to me, and his ability to capture candid moments naturally. We recently received our wedding photos, and words can't describe how happy we are with them! The shots, lighting, and editing are absolutely beautiful and captured the magic of our day. Our guests have also raved about how stunning the photos are, and how perfectly Mike captured our vibes. Many shared our sentiment of how great of a photographer he is. We also did our engagement session with Mike, and, as a couple who's a bit shy about posing, we let him know upfront that we might need some guidance. Mike was amazing at helping us relax and feel natural, which transitioned beautifully on the wedding day. His calm and friendly presence made it easy to just enjoy the moment and let him work his magic. On the wedding day, Mike was both professional and flexible. We had a list of must-have shots, which included a 21-person wedding party and family, and he worked efficiently to get each one while still capturing plenty of organic, candid moments. He was very realistic about timing, giving us guidance on what was achievable without ever making us feel rushed. Working with Mike was easy and enjoyable from start to finish. If you're looking for a photographer who will capture the authentic beauty of your day and create breathtaking images, we highly recommend Mike!

Mike Yoon was our fantastic photographer for our wedding last month and I can't stop singing his…read morepraises. We were initially interested in his services upon stumbling across his Instagram and website. From the moment we contacted him, we knew he would be our chill and talented photographer. Everything was transparent and not complicated, which was so important to us. We met him during our engagement shoot (a part of the package we booked) and immediately felt at ease with him. Those photographs are some of our favorites! Come wedding day, he was super professional, kind, and detailed with the variety of creative shots he took. He also had to deal with some difficult and commanding family members, and worked through it gracefully. Throughout the night, we didn't notice him at all taking thoughtful pictures because he does it so ninja-like. The turnaround with receiving our photographs was speedy as well. We are in love with all the photographs, from couple pictures to family ones and ceremony and reception. Even the photographs of the decor and plants (he and I share that passion) are stunning. The photographs capture the fun spirit of our wedding with such rawness and personality. We love his style, both in taking the pictures and how they turned out. Thank you for a lifetime of memories!

I'm looking forward to receiving the photos but the previews he already shared look incredible. These memories will last a lifetime and we look forward to working with Dipan to capture future milestones.

My husband and I worked with Dipan for our wedding, and he was fantastic to work with…read more He and Carissa were both there to help take photos of us getting ready at the hotel, getting married at the chapel, and then celebrating at the reception. They were punctual, efficient, professional, and just a wonderful team to cover everything at our wedding. It worked out really well because Dipan was with the groomsmen as they were getting ready while Carissa was with us (the bride + bridesmaids), so that even though we had less than an hour for getting ready shots, they managed to get everything we needed. We had gotten married at Wayfarers, and if anyone knows about that venue, it is that the chapel has a lot of rules/time limits. Dipan is one of their recommended vendors, so we were grateful that he knew the rules well and knew exactly when/where to take the pictures so that we wouldn't miss a thing. Dipan was also great in telling us how to pose since we asked for + needed a lot of direction. He also has a very calming presence so that we didn't feel stressed or nervous while posing. All the photos turned out AMAZING and we really could not recognize ourselves because the photos were just so good and beautiful. Dipan is truly wonderful to work with, and we would recommend him for any wedding or event!

What stood out most was their ability to listen and adapt. Natalie and Ray were very receptive to our vision and specific direction regarding the style and tone of the photos.

The final results speak for themselves--everyone in the office is genuinely happy with how their portraits turned out and everybody has gotten very good feedback of how amazing their portraits look. The images are polished, consistent, and simply beautiful. We highly recommend Mid-August to any organization looking for high-quality corporate and/or professional portraits paired with a smooth and wonderful experience.

Forever grateful to Jules and her incredible team!!…read more From our very first conversation, Jules truly listened to what was important to both my daughter and me -- and she delivered beyond anything we could have imagined. Our daughter's wedding day involved three different venues -- from the hotel where the bridal party got ready, to the ceremony at The Immaculata Catholic Church, and finally to the reception in Point Loma. Jules navigated each location seamlessly, capturing every special moment with such grace, organization, and artistry. Her pre-wedding communication was exceptional -- detailed, organized, and full of thoughtful suggestions that helped us prepare and stay calm. She provided tip sheets, timelines, and checklists that made the day flow beautifully. She also recommended having three shooters to cover the multiple venues and the size of our wedding -- and I'm so grateful she did! Every meaningful moment was captured from multiple perspectives. Jules and her team of photographers, Brandan Loufas and Drew Ramsey were absolutely incredible! Jules coordinated seamlessly with our videographers and truly listened to what was important to both my daughter and me. One of the most touching memories was our butterfly release, we wanted to honor people no longer with us and celebrate their precious new Union. To this day, one of my favorite photos (and still my phone wallpaper!) is of my daughter Alex's bouquet with a butterfly that landed right on it. It's pure magic -- a moment frozen in time that I'll treasure forever. One of biggest request I had for Jules, and I had many, was to capture a photo of my daughter and her husband during their ceremony -- one that mirrored a picture of my husband and me in that same church 32 years ago. It was a very emotional moment for me to see that picture side by side with my own. She absolutely nailed it -- and I dare say that I love that photo even more than my own wedding favorite. Almost a year later, I can say with complete certainty that I have zero regrets and endless gratitude. Reliving that day through Jules's lens has been truly priceless. She didn't just take pictures -- she told our family's love story. Thank you, Jules, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. You can hang a star on that one, baby.

We were excited, but honestly a little nervous about hiring a photographer since it was our first step into anything wedding-related. I spent hours searching through Instagram, websites, and reviews before eventually finding Jules - and I'm so glad I did. After our very first phone call, we knew we wanted to book with her. From beginning to end, Jules was incredibly supportive and patient. She genuinely cared about the entire experience for us, not just the photos themselves. She made us feel so comfortable, especially in front of the camera. Our pictures turned out amazing and we could not be happier with them! We would highly recommend Jules to anyone looking for an engagement photographer. She is talented, affordable, and truly one of the sweetest people. If you're thinking about booking with her, just do it!
