I'm very happy we sought Owen for our engagement photos. He was made the process easy and I definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a professional photographer. My husband and I were surprised with how good the photos turned out. Owen guided us on poses, so do not worry if you don't have any experience in front of a camera like us. I appreciate his attention to detail (notifying us of stray hairs, etc.) and he was respectful for my family who wanted a group photo. Not to mention, he's really humorous with his pop culture references; that definitely broke the ice and allowed us to be more at ease. I also want to highlight that he works incredibly fast and presented the finished products just a few days after our shoot! Thank you, Owen, for capturing these special moments for me and my husband. read more

I can't say enough about Owen's services. He was the best photographer I think we have ever hired. Super friendly and professional from the start, easy to schedule and book. He knew what we were looking for and took pictures of everything, food, guests, the venue. He directed all of the family photos and wasn't afraid to tell people to fix things for the sake of the pictures. He had my kids taking their monstrous load of stuff out of their pockets and even had me "suck it in" to get the right shot. Quick delivery of the photos and was cool enough to just give us all of the picture for the event. Highly recommend.... read more

Owen did an amazing job taking photos for my 50th birthday party at the Kimpton La Peer Hotel in West Hollywood! He was constantly taking candid photos of all my guests mingling and having fun as well as posed photos of my family and friends. He also made sure to take photos of all the details including the flowers, table scape and cake. Owen also edited and delivered all the digital images within a few days of the party! It was such a fast turnover and all the photos looked great. All of my friends and family were so impressed by the photos that they wanted his contact info for future reference. Highly recommend!! read more

We scheduled photos with Owen while we were visiting CA on a family vacation. The trip was already beautiful in every way, and Owen masterfully captured just how special this time with our family was. We have three young children (1, 4, 6) and Owen was fun with the kids, patient with us all, and helpfully instructive to optimize the whole package of environments, demeanors and time allocations. We are so thrilled with the results. Thank you Owen! read more

From start to finish, Owen went above and beyond expectations. And best of all, with amazing results. I knew my bride was going to look gorgeous but never thought I would come out looking 1/2 decent myself. If I lived here I would hire Owen for every function I would have. Do not hesitate and book Owen today read more

First of all five stars doesn't even cut it with this awesome photographer! He was my wedding photographer for my reception in April and he did some amazing photo shoots for my husband and I at the Pasadena City Hall. I just received all the photos and they looking amazing. I couldn't be happier with his work! First impression is that he's a very dedicated photographer who's very passionate about his work. I'm actually really amazed how for some large group photos he was able to capture everyone's face perfectly. He really was fun to work with and patient with my husband and I because we felt so awkward posing at times but the photos turned out beautiful! He gave very good directions on how to pose and added jokes to make us laugh for some photos. I'm also very amazed he was so quick with processing and editing the photos! I was expecting like 3-4 weeks but he dropped them to me by the end of the 2nd week and I'm sure he's a busy photographer! Overall, we definitely recommend Owen as a photographer for your next big or small event! read more

Wow-Owen exceeded our expectations! We held a 60th birthday celebration for my husband and were initially on the fence about hiring a photographer vs taking pictures on our phone. After seeing the beautiful pictures on his site, we decided to go for it - and so glad we did. Owen captured stunning portraits of us and our families - some of which will be hanging in our home. He was meticulous, thoughtful, and clearly dedicated to delivering the best possible results. He really took command in the best way, helping guide our poses and looks so that we'd be thrilled with the outcome. Before the event, he took the time to talk with me about what was most important to capture. On the day, he truly captured the essence and ambience of the party. I was able to experience through his beautiful photos the moments of the event that I had missed while hosting. His pictures arrived timely with a link to copy and paste on our thank you note to our guests. Several guests have already asked for his contact info! I highly recommend Owen for your photography needs - even if you're unsure whether you need a photographer. He's that good! read more

Owen took my wedding pics. He was very personable and kind. The photos came out great.

Using Owen as our wedding photographer was truly the best decision I made (other than marrying my husband). Wow. From start to finish, he exceeded every expectation we had. I originally found Owen on Yelp and had my now husband reach out to inquire about services and I am so glad I did. On the wedding day, he hustled. This man worked to make sure we got the best shots possible. Owen has a good eye for what looks best including angles, lighting, backgrounds, and the little details that make photos pop. We had no idea how to pose and were honestly too nervous and overwhelmed to figure it out, but he guided us every step of the way. His direction felt natural, encouraging, and extremely helpful. I loved that he would show us a few photos throughout the process. Seeing how beautifully everything was turning out eased my mind immediately and helped me feel so much more confident. He also made sure we stayed hydrated in the warm church, which I really appreciated. One of his secret superpowers: he is AMAZING at fixing a train and veil. They looked perfect in every shot. He was also so friendly with our wedding party and guests. Everyone mentioned how great he was. He kept things light and fun with little jokes that made us and everyone around us relax and laugh. We received our photos and could not be happier. They're amazing and I can't wait to display them throughout our home. We will definitely be using Owen for all our future photography needs. Thank you Owen for your hard work, your dedication, and your genuine care. We appreciate you more than you know. P.S. We also received videography services through him and he was extremely accommodating with that as well. We can't wait to see the video and will update this review once we receive it! ***UPDATE*** Overall, we were very happy with our wedding video. It came out simple, sweet, and exactly what we wanted, nothing overly produced. When we first received the video, there was a minor issue, but it was resolved quickly. We also had a small preference we wanted adjusted, and the videographer Peter was patient and accommodating in making the change. We appreciate the great service and the final result! read more

Amazing! 7 people in my pics and the photographer captured the best moments! It was kinda last minute so I'm very thankful that He was able to do this for my family. read more

Great service. I changed my engagement date on Owen but he accommodated by obtaining a partner of his to perform the shoot on the new date that I gave him. Overall great people. read more

Owen and Peter did an excellent job! Very professional, listen to what we needs. The final pictures and videos are amazing!

Owen was SO GOOOD! He helped me take my grad photos at USC. As a doctoral student I spent most of my time on the health science campus so was not too familiar with the main campus. He directed me to, told me the best places to go, took us and found the best shots, helped me and gave me directions on how to pose , and the pictures came out greater than I could have even imagined. On top of that he was super nice and was more focused on the quality of the photos than the time it took. He get photos back to you quickly as well. He was so nice, funny , and kind . I really could not have asked for a better photographer! read more

Owen is the example of what a professional should be and the experience from initial meeting to wedding day was pleasant. He cares about getting the best shots he can and it shows. I believe that anyone would be very happy that they chose Owen Jiang as their photographer, no matter the event. Very nice guy. Highly recommended. read more

Five stars are just not enough! Owen is a phenomenal talent. God gave this man a special gift to capture real, genuine, meaningful, and lovingly beautiful moments. He captured our wedding in a way that will forever remain iconic and special. I tend to shy away from pictures but Owen playfully encouraged me and boosted my confidence, elevating it to new heights. I finally learned how to pose properly! Thank you Owen for your expertise, guidance, and professionalism. Best photographer ever. We truly mean it. We highly recommend. Bless you! Xoxo read more

One of the best photographers Ive seen! He understands what your vision is and is super accommodating and sweet! Would 100% recommend, you won't be disappointed :) read more

Hands down, the best photographer ever! Look at his photos and the intensity of his work, it speaks volumes. I found Owen through Yelp and contacted him. He responded immediately which is first of all, impressive. I told him I wanted some holiday photos in front of our home and he said sure and what date. His quote was very reasonable and we settled on a date. The day of our photo shoot, I was afraid of the daylight savings time and when he should come but his skills and knowledge of photography reassured me towards the sunset is the perfect opportunity. I trusted him and sure enough, towards sunset was the perfect time to take photos in front of our home. His camera skills, his personality to make us smile and laugh is amazing. He is always POSITIVE and so kind, patient with us and our dogs, and so happy. It was a great two-hour session with Owen and at the end, we became more like friends. If you look at his photos, they are all so vibrant in color, intense with richness and looks like a magazine cover. I am so impressed with his photography art and skills. He will always capture the best and most memorable and quality moments of your life, your family and your love. read more

Owen was such a joy to work with! His positive attitude and great energy made for a fun experience. He was making jokes and singing songs. We felt like we were in the company of someone we already knew, which made us feel relaxed in front of the camera. He gave clear and helpful direction for how to pose and what to do and where to go whether for couple, individual, or group photos. We could not get a permit for photos at Greystone Mansion Gardens for the day-of the wedding, so Owen accommodated us by shooting that session a few days earlier in addition to the wedding day photos. He made the photo library available to us promptly. The pictures are beautiful. He has offered to retouch some which will make them even better. We would highly recommend Owen! read more

To anyone searching for a photographer: look no further! Owen is simply one of the most professional and caring people in the industry. I don't think my surprise proposal could have gone the way it did without Owen's help and expertise! He was kind of enough to plan out with me where everything would happen and came prepared the day of the surprise so that everything went smoothly. He was even able to expedite some of the photos so we could print them out for an event. I do not like taking photos of myself but Owen made me and my fiancée feel comfortable and allowed us to enjoy the moment. Consequently, the pictures came out better than ever, and we couldn't me happier. Thank you Owen, for capturing our special moment and for helping make it as magical as it was! read more

Owen captured great photos on our courthouse wedding day, and it was also a great experience working with him. From our first interaction he was interested on preparing for the day and asked us what type of photos we were interested on. We sent them some photos of other couples that we found on the internet as a reference and during our session he took photos that we expected him to take plus he suggested a few other variations. He was also great guiding us through the session and made it easy for us. After the session he had the photos ready sooner than I expected and it was very easy for us to get the photos. I definitely recommend Owen for both the quality of the photos and his openness to help. read more

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Owen for our wedding photos - I highly recommend him! Owen was very prompt in communicating and making arrangements for our photo shoot. My fiancé and I did not plan to have a formal wedding so I did not have a wedding dress to use, but Owen arranged for me to rent a dress and he even handled finding a makeup and hair stylist for me. Owen was able to accommodate our needs even when unfortunate weather conditions forced us to reschedule our original shoot. My fiancé and I aren't used to taking formal photos and worried we might come off looking a little stiff in front of the camera, however Owen's fun personality made it easier for us to relax. When it came down to business, Owen was very focused and was able to direct us in posing to capture our best sides. He demonstrated great skill and did such a beautiful job of capturing and editing our photos. Under Owen's guidance, the whole experience felt so smooth and effortless. We couldn't be happier with our experience and would recommend Owen to anyone! read more

Owen is incredibly professional, has a great eye and is kind of a genius. I needed him to hide so my fiance wouldn't know i was proposing. He pretended to be a maintenance worker and hid his camera. As soon as i got on one knee, he leaped into action and started snapping immediately like some kind of secret agent. I chose a tricky spot to take pictures, but he was able to produce multiple works of art. Highly recommend!! read more

I hired him and JJ as my wedding photographer and videographer. He is very patient when he was taking pictures in a large group. He and JJ caught a lot of important shots in my wedding. All the guests liked them. I really recommend them. Also after the wedding, they helped me to photoshop my pictures, put on filters. JJ did a great job in the video editing. They always reminded us about the position, gestures, facial expressions, so we got a lot of beautiful pictures. read more

My wife and I have been planning to take some family photos to display in our dining room. There were so many photographers to choose from that it made the selection both difficult and nerve wracking. Once my wife chose Owen Jiang Photography, off we went to the LA Arboretum. We selected a 1 hour family photo session. For starters, Owen was punctual, polite, and welcoming. Since my family and I are not naturals when it comes to posing in photos, Owen's use of humor and banter kept the hour light and fun. He creates a comfortable environment where everyone's personality are able to come through while providing the necessary direction to get the proper shot. We were engaged throughout as he directed us to several locations to capture different poses and lighting opportunities. In the end, we received a wonderful selection of photos. An array ranging from individual to family to my wife and I in posed and candid shots. He has been very accessible for questions and how to ensure we retain these photos for safe keeping (downloading to save on a zip drive). I would highly recommend Owen for his tremendous photography acumen and easy going personality. He was very easy to work with and made the process enjoyable. read more

Great price and very professional service. Very diligent with speed and accuracy. Highly recommended!

So we looked up several photographers for our daughter's university grad pics and we selected Owen based on reviews, responsiveness and value. Owen provided us with some great examples of other grad photo shoots and our daughter loved them! Owen worked with our schedule and met us at the university for the session. He did an amazing job bringing out the best in all the locations and making it a fun experience for all of us. He was also amazingly quick with the edits and getting all the pictures back to us. Our daughter loved the pics and started posting right away. That was a great sign! Do not hesitate to give Owen an opportunity to make your special event memorable. We will definitely call on him again for future events. Thanks Owen!! read more

We were excited about our maternity photoshoot, but unfortunately, the experience was strange and unprofessional. We had set a date, time, and location for weeks, when Owen stated he is available on February 16th. However, two days before the shoot, he suddenly said he was booked for that day. I had mentioned the 2/16 @ 3 pm date/time multiple times in our communications, first mentioned on 1/26, then on 2/9, 2/11, and again on 2/14 via text exchanges. Yet, suddenly on 2/14 PM he asked if we could do Saturday (which is 2/15..) instead, because he's already booked for 2/16. Additionally, I had to ask him about sending over paperwork and payment methods, which seemed unusual since usually it should be the other way around. Overall, the experience felt unorganized and unprofessional. And we ultimately decided to not work with him. I hope you consider my review. read more

Owen was our photographer and he did an amazing job throughout the entire experience. He was very responsive when we first outreached him and even provided suggestions for photoshoot locations. His photo package comes with the option to have dress, hair/make up included. My wife was glad that she went with the package that included hair/make up. While Owen was taking our pictures, he went beyond our expectations. He also tried to make us feel more comfortable and was very funny throughout the photo session. He also was able to provide us the final photos very quickly so we really appreciated it. Looking forward to working with Owen for future photo shoots! read more

Owen was a total pro. He has a great eye and talent, and worked hard to take some amazing family portraits for us. And his turnaround was very fast in delivering the photos. I recommend him highly! read more

Got a 1hr Family Photo SessionService/Product Quality: 5/5 Professionalism: 5/5 Promptness: 5/5 Customer-Support: 5/5 I requested a 1hr Family Photo Session with Owen in SpringTime during the Morning, at a Park. Working with Owen was a positive experience, since he was prompt & courteous with his online replies, open to listening to requests, and had good direction. This is already a load off my mental-bandwith while Wrangling a Toddler for a photoshoot, but I felt Owen went the extra distance by being so patient and considerate with my child, and even talking and interacting with them, to help the process. Owen's setup was very fast and versatile, and I was impressed with his equipment available. He managed to work quickly, to take amazing photos that captured a good mixture of both Posed & Candid Shots. Owen even continued support during the editing process of the photos, when I had questions regarding them. I would Highly Recommend Owen, as he helped create Family Photos that I will treasure for a lifetime. read more

Amazing photos! Owen was great to work with. Funny. Knew how to make us laugh that turned out great on photos. Owen knew what he was doing. My entire family agree that the pictures turned out beautiful! read more

I don't usually leave reviews BUT Owen really deserves it! Omg he should get an award lol. It was such a pleasure working with him. Made my day when he sang missy Elliott song, "Work It" and would climb on rails to get the perfect shot. Omg scared me I was praying he won't fall lol. And best of all, I LOVE my pictures. Thanks again Owen!!! read more

We had Owen take our high school graduation photos and general family pictures. This was the first time we hired a photographer, and we are beyond impressed. Not only did Owen come to the site early to look for good places to take photos, he was also incredibly helpful in directing us in different poses, and overall it was a very enjoyable and memorable experience! Highly recommend Owen if you are looking for a photographer or want to try it out for the first time! It was also very affordable compared to other photographers in my area and I received all the edited photos the very next day (the photos turned out incredible!). read more

Above and beyond. I am uncomfortable with photographs but Owen made the experience great. Prompt and professional. I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

It was a great experience, Owen gave us great tips throughout the appointment and helped us prior to the appointment! Overall a very enjoyable and fun experience! read more

Owen was AWESOME. We had a multilingual marriage party and Owen was not only able to communicate well with both our English-speakers and Mandarin-speakers, including adults and children, but was funny and engaging and uplifiting in both languages. He was so quick, was able to scout a gorgeous location, and the photos are of course gorgeous. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out, and his turnaround time was crazy fast. read more

We had a family photograph taken by Owen over Thanksgiving. There were 8 adults, and 3 kids and a dog. The shoot was challenging because my little granddaughter insisted that she did not want to be photographed and was having a hissy fit . Nevertheless we persisted hoping for the best. Owen was a whiz at photoshopping and delivered a beautiful photo where everyone (including our granddaughter) was smiling! He was also able to photoshop my husband's transition glasses which had turned into sunglasses during the outside shoot. He even offered to come the next day to see if my granddaughter would cooperate- we appreciated this offer but did not go for it. We would definitely recommend Owen for photoshoots! read more

Owen was by far the best photographer on our wedding day! He made sure to get all the best shots and reminded us of our sunset photos. He was also very accommodating with any editing after our wedding was over. We got our photos after our beautiful day so fast! He truly is the best photographer we have ever had. read more

We had a few quotes for our wedding this past month and ended up going with Owen based on the good reviews and his Yelp photo portfolio. His quote was not overpriced but wasn't the least expensive either. We were nevertheless really impressed with his professionalism and the result he provided. It was really well done and with prompt delivery of the photos. He also did the addl editing that I asked for right away. It was a hot and breezy day at the park, so it wasn't easy to capture the vision I wanted, but Owen def has an eye for expert photo skills. read more
