I have been meaning to post this review since September, but life has gotten in the way. I think to do it like, every few days, since I want everyone to know how amazing this company was for my wedding. Corey is fun, professional and knowledgeable. I worked in production for a long time and had no shortage of potential wedding photographers, but the decision to go with OC Event Photos was a super easy one. He and his crew were on time (early, actually!) and he took calls with me before the wedding to ensure things were lined up properly. At the wedding, he was both fun to hang out with and also a brilliant photographer. Then, after the wedding, he turned around the photos quickly and they looked AMAZING. He is a great editor also (v important). Listen. Your wedding will go by in a flaaaash. It's cool to cut corners on many, many wedding related things (who needs personalized napkins like are you serious) but do not skimp on the photographer(s). Your photos are your only tangible takeaway from the entire experience. They will open doors for memory and closeness and conversation forever. Go with a legit company -- actually just go with OC. read more

We hired OC Event Photos to provide video for our parents' 50th wedding anniversary party. Corey was quick to respond to our inquiry, and clearly explained pricing and options. At the event, he was friendly and professional, and made us feel comfortable to the point that we barely noticed we were being recorded. The final highlight video was incredible, beautifully shot and captured the event perfectly. Our parents are so happy with this amazing keepsake of their special day! Thank you Corey! read more

OC Event Photos exceeded our expectations. They took our fairly modest wedding (small venue with ~20 people followed by a brunch in a restaurant) and made it look like such a beautiful and fancy event. Corey was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was at the venue early making sure that everything was set up properly and planning his photos. He made sure to get all the classic wedding photos, pictures of everyone at the event, and a bunch of cool and unique extras. Did I mention how beautiful the pictures came out? About a month earlier we attended an absolutely beautiful wedding with a different photographer. When you look at our photos from OC Event Photos next to the photos taken at that previous wedding, there's no comparison. Our event just looks grander, even though it was so much smaller in scale. Plus, all the pictures were edited within a week! Seriously! Thanks again for all your help, Corey. We were so happy to have you be a part of our event. read more

I reach out Corey through Yelp, based on what I read hoping that in reality he would be up to the task. Yes he was, we had long photo shoot session at our Vicci Café at Newport Beach, he brought all of his gear on time along with his assistant, we talked together on how to tackle the photos and manage the final setting ,,, it all worked just great and results were very pleasing he was attentive and creative, check out our Website in two weeks from now and please do visit. I'll for sure rely on him for my future photos shoots. All the best Corey. read more

Soooo, I will give him 6 stars ****** if yelp allows me too. Corey is fun, creative and easy to work with. He's always on time and he knows exactly what we need every time. We have him shoot in our wedding, my birthday and plan to have OC event photos for upcoming events as well If you are sick and tired of the old and boring way of photographing and need a down-to-earth photographer who can go as crazy as you need in your event, Corey is the person to go to. read more

Thanks OC Event Photos! You helped make our wedding memorable through your great photos! Corey you're the best; calm, flexible, and patient. We could not have asked for a better photographer to work with. You did a great job capturing the moment at the Old County Courthouse in Santa Ana. Also, The early morning beach shots you took of us in Huntington Beach look amazing!! We really appreciate you for getting up at a before dawn on a very cold, crisp SoCal morning to make that happen! We truly appreciate you going out of your way to provide us with a great sunrise photos! Thanks again! Todd read more

Corey couldn't have been the better pick for our wedding photographer. To this day he remains a close friend from the experience. The photos we got from him are bound in books, blown up and hanging on our walls, and are used as celebration pictures amongst our friends and families. Corey was disciplined, yet fun, and the event was so smooth and perfect. Again, OC EVENT PHOTOS was PERFECT!!! I could not recommend anyone more! read more

We had an awesome experience with Corey! Great shots, quick turnaround time, and easy to work with. Corey is very professional and knows what he is doing :) We hired him to shoot an award brunch for a real estate office. His shots were a great mix of creative, candid, and "staged". We will continue to use Corey for future events! read more

We have been working with Corey for over four years and he always provides amazing photography services. He has shot many of our corporate and social events and our clients are always happy with the photos. He has a great work ethic, he is easy to work with and he is great on site.

Corey Sandler and OC Event Photos are incredibly professional and their follow through is exceptional!!!

OC Event Photos went the extra mile for our event! They captured fantastic photos with hardly anyone even realizing they were there. Quick turn-around for access to digital images, too. read more

Working with OC Event Photos and Corey is one of the best experiences I've had with a photographer in the 10 years I've worked in events. I highly recommend them and look forward to working with them again. I've worked with many previous photographers and no one has been as strong as Corey and Reza. In the past, other photogs don't interact well with guests, take a long time to turn around photos, or focus too much on décor while Corey and Reza are strong in all areas. I worked primarily with Corey. He is professional, responsive, and he gets it. He asks questions so he understands what kind of photos to take and capture the moments you want. He and Reza were receptive to my needs, were quick on their feet to adapt and capture those really special magazine-worthy moments. Corey's enthusiasm, kindness, and commitment did not waver during the many hours he worked on the event My entire team was impressed by his quick turn around to provide photos and a high-end visual photo gallery to share with my guests. My guests felt very comfortable with Corey and Reza and it is reflected in the big genuine smiles in the photos. I was most impressed by Corey's follow up during the event - we wanted a special group photo but each participant kept getting pulled away. And through the night he gently followed up until we got the photo - and the photo was p e r f e c t. Thank you Corey and Reza and I look forward to the next event together!

OC Event Photos was extremely professional to work with, and very responsive before and during our event. We also had the pictures back in less than their promised 7 days. They did such great work that we will be looking to have them at our company event next year. read more

Corey stepped up and helped us out in the last minute. His quality of photos, especially capturing the emotion of the people was amazing. He was easy to work with and did a great job getting us the photos right after the event. Thank you Corey! Can't wit to work with you again. read more

Reza is an awesome photographer who I highly recommend! We recently hired him to serve as the event photographer for a three-day summit my agency held at a resort in Dana Point for about 200 brands, influencers, and partners. The event had a lot of components ranging from breakout classes, speakers, parties, and more. Reza was so nice and easy to work with and very professional. He turned photos I needed each day quickly and delivered the full gallery within a week after the event. I was extremely happy with the photos and how Reza tackled capturing such a large, multifaceted event. We will definitely be calling him for any future events we have in the Orange County area. read more

We had the best experience! Corey was fun to work with and made the entire experience special and memorable. We are excited to put these wonderful family photos up in our home. We really appreciate having digital files and were able to put together a really fun Christmas card with them! read more

It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with Corey & OC Event Photos for our Ticketmaster event in Huntington Beach. From start to finish, the communication and planning process went extremely smoothly and we were very pleased with the final product. read more

We had OC Event Photos photographing our company's fundraiser and employee recognition events. We needed a photographer and videographer to travel to two different locations. We also wanted to have images immediately during the events to show on social media. Corey and Reza helped us with all our requests regardless of whatever we threw their way. Happily recommend this company to anyone! read more

So I decided to do some serious searching for an Orange County event photographer for my family's company Christmas party last year and I came across OC Event Photos. Corey was super friendly and easy going the entire time. You can tell this is his lifestyle and not just a job for him. He blended in so well with the guests and made it comfortable to be yourself when posing for pictures. I liked his vibe so much, I thought he would be perfect to hire for a lifestyle family shoot in the future. A year later and I got him to come down to our home with his assistant Cassie to do a family Christmas shoot! I'm so glad I went with this company although technically they are an event photography company, the photographer's ease and personality was important for me to work with for a family shoot that consists of an 18 month old. I'm super thankful for taking the risk because the photos came out magical. He was very patient and managed to turn something that was a bit challenging to something amazing! I will be hiring him again for future projects. read more

You will not be disappointed! OC Event Photos was amazing at my wedding here in Newport Beach. Corey, our photographer, showed up way before he had too! Took amazing photo's of the reception, wedding, and me preparing for the big moment! If you are scared about taking pictures he will make you feel so comfortable, like its completely normal to have a photographer walk every where with you and snap pictures Corey made my husband and I be able to look back and say WOW, look how wonderful our wedding was, and how much all of our family and guests enjoyed our special moment. He has great prices and amazing photography skills! I give everyone my recommendations! You will not be disappointed! read more

The first time I met Corey he was the main photographer at my friend's wedding, and we absolutely loved his style and vibe. I got his information and decided to hire him for my birthday event. He was such a blast to have at the party, and captured every single important moment. With his images, I was able to vividly share my special event with all of my family and friends in Europe. We hired him again to be the photographer for a theatre production that I was a part of. Additionally, he has taken my head shots and I love them! Corey is simply talented and knowledgable about his craft, which shines through in his photography. If you need any type of photography, Corey Sandler is the man to call! read more

Great experience and work! We hosted a vow renewal/50th anniversary reception for my grandparents and had Justin as our photographer.

I would definitely recommend them to others and look forward to hiring them for future events. read more

Corey is the real deal. He was so easy to work with and always responded to me quickly when we were in the planning stages. Corey came and shot my proposal with a still camera, a video camera and a drone. He caught incredible footage. Corey provided us with the still photos in less than a day. Corey really surprised me when he sent me the edited montage/video footage to the music of my choice in just two days! The turn around time was unbelievable. The video came out incredibly well and the feedback from my friends and family has been amazing. I am so happy to have used Corey and OC Event Photos to capture such a special day. I highly recommend them! read more

I'm an event planner for Event Solutions, a full-service event planning company in Southern California. Our company works with many large corporate clients on a weekly basis. We have been using Corey and Reza for our event photography in both LA and OC for over two years and our clients are always very impressed by the images. We recently used them for an international event on the Charter Yachts of Newport Beach, and their team was prompt, professional and very attentive. Thank you for all your hard work! read more

I was helping my team to organize our company's annual gala fundraiser every year around October. We weren't so happy with the photographer that we used last year so we were looking for someone else for this year's event. So glad I found Corey and OC Event Photos on Yelp! We needed images that showed the spirit of our event and a highlight video that could bring more people to our gala next year, and Corey did nothing but that! His team delivered flawlessly and we did not have to worry about a thing. We are so pleased with the photos and we will have his team again for next year! read more

Thank you OC Event Photos for photographing our event at RSSA Vintage. Everyone is so thrilled with the images! The photos came out gorgeous, really magazine quality.
