Cynthia Lozano, the photographer OBD Studios sent for my wedding, lost half of my wedding photographs and then tried to hide that from me when I followed up; rather than informing me in a professional and timely manner, she did not let me know of the issue until a week after she had originally promised me my photos, and this was after I followed up with her twice to inquire about the status of my project. The biggest slap to the face was the email I received from her at that point, informing me she lost the photos -- this included all posed group photos and photos of us going home -- and that she was refunding me $200. Is $200 really the price of a once-in-a-lifetime memory? I am still attempting to recover the originals from her, which she said were too grainy to use. I figured I could pay someone else (I naturally don't trust her photography or editing skills anymore) to salvage at least the group photos. She sent me a flash drive of just 144 raw images -- more than half of which are photos *I sent to her* after hurriedly collecting them from my friends' mobile phones. For reference, we commissioned her to take over 500 photos. She's friendly and nice, but she is not professional at all. Go with someone else -- please -- and save yourself the heartache and time. read more

My husband and I had a very small wedding at the Orange County Mining Company. We met Raul at a wedding show hosted there. After speaking to a few other photographers, when we met Raul, we knew he was exactly what we were looking for. Raul was familiar with the venue, highly recommended and a very nice man. There was no pressure and his work spoke for itself. Raul donates all of his proceeds to a non-profit organization and is a truly talented, professional photographer. Raul set up a meeting with us a week after the wedding show and we were able to share exactly what we wanted to remember from our wedding. Raul listened and assured us he would do all he could to make our day perfect. Raul called me a few days before the wedding to iron out the details. I had no stress knowing he had everything under control. When I arrived to the wedding, he and his assistant were there to capture every moment from me getting out of the car to the final kiss of the night. The best part was receiving our proofs online 5 days later! We loved every shot. From the staged, posed photos to the candid, most precious shots, they were truly amazing. I can't say enough great things about the professionalism and talent of Raul and his staff. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an affordable option without having to sacrifice quality. I will absolutely call him the next time I need a photographer. Thank you Raul....it was the most perfect day. read more

OBD Studio - Life & Hope Foundation "Fight Cancer" Comedy Night Fundraiser! - Event Photography Near Me - Orange, California

Called twice to make appointment for a portrait and NEVER got any return call. I guess they are too busy for small jobs. Funny, if they give poor service for a small job, why would anyone trust them to do anything important like a wedding or special event? This studio was referred by a friend who used them. I guess she was wrong. read more

My husband and I were very impressed by Raul! So were my family and friends at our wedding! He is so experienced in wedding photography. He was like the the coordinator too! He is like family. He is easy to talk to, kind, sincere, will work with your budget and professional. His photos came out so great! I had to get all of them! He took shots when I wasn't even aware he was right there! That is impressive! He even went on top of the roof to take a great oceanview shot of everyone! Brought out a bubble machine for us! Also Brides, he even brought oil wiping tissues and blotted my face cause he noticed I was sweating a lot (got married in August) I thought that was so sweet and considerate! My Hubby doesn't like his photos taken but Raul made him feel so comfortable. He ended up with a lot of good photos of himself! I do a lot of volunteer work and I love the fact that Raul also helps out children in need from other countries. That is the kind of person he is! Why not get a photographer to capture your family memories by someone who truly cares! Thank you very much Raul! We will definitely use you again!! read more

My wife and contacted several photographers to shoot our wedding last fall. After speaking and meeting with Raul Lozano, we immediately felt comfortable with him and without a doubt knew that we wanted to go with OBD Studio. My wife amd I live in Colorado, and there had been a lot of stress for us planning a large wedding in California. Communication with Raul was great, so at least we were at ease with the photography part of the planning, we knew that we were in great hands. Furthermore, it was great to hear that Raul does a lot of charity work and donates his hard earned money to these charities, and his prices are very reasonable. The day of the wedding, Raul and his assistant arrived at the hotel bright and early to photograph my wife as she was getting ready. We then proceeded with the ceremony, photo shoot at a park, and lastly with the reception; all of which were in different locations. Raul was there at all times capturing all of our special moments. He was very pleasant to work with the entire time. After getting back from our honeymoon, we had a hard drive waiting for us at home with all of the processed pictures. My wife and I were very pleased with all of the photos; he truly captured our story! Also Raul accommodated all of our request, including being there for over 10 hours since we had a several hour gap between the ceremony and reception. We highly recommend OBD Studio!! read more

Raul is THE BEST. We used his services for our wedding and couldn't be happier! He's a very kind person and easy to be around. I'm super uncomfortable getting my picture taken but I didnt feel awkward or uncomfortable with Raul or his assistant. I'm a pretty "laid back bride" and wasn't too concerned with getting certain shots. Raul was persistent and I'm so glad that he was because I know I will cherish the shots he got that I originally wasn't concerned with. He's very fun to be around and very quick to snap candid photos as they come up. Our church has very strict rules for photographers but he worked within all of their guidelines. Our wedding party consisted of heavy vapers and he got some shots of us vaping which I love because it's so true to who we are as a group. He is so kind, patient and accommodating and I would recommend him to anyone. My husband and I are beyond happy! read more
