Robert Yu Photography was the MVV (most valuable vendor) out of all our wedding vendors we had. We used them for our engagement photos and our wedding photography/videography and could not be happier! From the first discovery call all the way to execution on our big day they were an absolute pleasure to work with! So many guests commented on how professional they all were. Once we received the photos, we were in awe! We are so in love with all the photos! Robert and his team uploaded retouched photos to an online gallery for us to download as well as sending a flash-drive with all of the raw photo (thousands) and video files. So many people that were unable to attend the wedding were in awe of the photos and were extremely impressed with the quality of photos we have. With our package we got a highlight video as well as a 30 minute long documentary edit. I highly recommend doing this. The team did an amazing job editing the highlight video to create a perfect way to remember that day! Please don't hesitate to give Robert Yu a call as he was the best decision we ever made in our wedding planning process! In Short: - Fantastic pricing - Breathtaking photography/videography - Compassionate & personable - Professional & punctual - Still reading? ------ Give them a call now! read more

Overall I believe their work was good but I'm still not sure. I got married in Feb of 2019, and it's December and I've yet to receive my wedding book or video...I think they were a very fair price, but a bit like he takes in way more business than he can handle in a professional matter. He is the school of thought where, I already have your money, so you're at my mercy. If I had to choose again, I wouldn't work with or refer anybody him. His wife is amazing but Robert just doesn't pay attention...I went over my shot list before my wedding 100 times and I had to yell at them from the alter, in front of 160 guests, to get them to take the "first kiss" photo from the angle I asked for again and again. Update, Jan 21, 2020 and still haven't received my video or book from my wedding on Feb 15, 2019. read more

Excellent photographers!!! We were referred by our friends who took engagement photos with Robert and Chris. We briefly met before the wedding and went through all the details. After seeing our friends' photos, we decided to hire the same team for our wedding right away. They went beyond our expectation. Chris was so nice to provide wedding planning ideas. Robert took us to a beautiful oceanfront park on the wedding day for our couple portrait. The sunset photos there were so good that we got the most likes and compliments from our families and friends. I couldn't believe our wedding photos could be so great, so creative and so REAL. We definitely "clicked" with Robert and Chris - they are super nice people, very professional, amazingly patient, super responsive and they are simply GREAT at wedding photography. They deserve every single star on this page. Thank you so much for making our wedding such a memorable day. If you are looking for wedding photographers in LA, you deserve to work with them. Trust me, they are the right team to capture your special moments. read more

We flew from NYC for our wedding because most of our friends and families are from LA. And the weather in LA is like no one can beat. We are so happy to work with Robert Yu Photography again and for our wedding at The Odyssey and we opt in for their Deluxe Package including photo and video for the whole day. I had great experience working with this company so this time we chose them again. On the day, Robert sent a crew of four. Tiffany was the main photographer who was so great to be around and so talented at photography. She really knew what she's doing and she cared about us. I couldn't be happier with her work. These photos by Tiffany were amazingly beautiful! She was so great at using different lighting to capture our smiles. During the whole day, she was very presentable, polite, organized yet super easy going and funny. My husband is a photographer too and he noticed that Tiffany used different lens for different parts of the wedding. She really captured the beauty in our wedding and her humor really helped me relax and feel at ease in front of her camera. With her pictures, my wedding looked really sweet and like a "fairy tale". Also, I should thank the videographer Brannon, a cool guy who worked efficiently and quietly. I can't believe that he captured so many beautiful moments during the day. I love some of the details like cake, rings and flowers in his video. He understands what I need and our wedding style. The final highlight movie was exactly what I wanted! I am so grateful for Brannon to have all the cherished moments, our vows and our own music in this video. Their service exceeded our expectation so much. I would say thank Robert and his team for giving us such a great experience and memorable photographs and videos. And the price is more than reasonable, for the service we had, we paid around $3000. I will definitely work with them again. For LA couples who want to search for a reliable and quality wedding photo and video studio, Robert Yu Photography is the way to go. They are sheer talents for weddings. read more

Robert and Chris were such a pleasure to work with and they did an AMAZING job with our engagement and wedding photos! We were also extremely happy with all the special moments they captured throughout our wedding night. They were very professional and punctual. We couldn't be happier with choosing Robert and Chris as our photographers. We will definitely be recommending them to any friends and family that get married in the future! read more

We booked our wedding photographer with this photo studio in Mid-Wilshire. We had a super easy and nice meeting with their managing photographer Chris. She understood our situation and offer us a budget photo package. We were in time to catch their 10-year anniversary discount - we ended up paying only $899 for 5-hour coverage by their best photographer and free edits!!! Our photographer Kim is a such as sweetheart!!! My husband and I are very shy people who didn't know how to pose or what to do in front of the camera. Kim was so nice to direct us and to make us comfortable during the photoshoot. She captured every single moment at our wedding. Our wedding ceremony was outdoors at a Gazebo. Kim used a lot of natural lighting to make the pictures look soft and romantic. She not only photographed the two of us but also our families, guests and their kids during ceremony and reception. Our reception venue was pretty dark but Kim brought her flash light and studio lighting system to properly light up us for the photos. My favorite part was our first dance. Kim was able to capture our dance from very different angles - so creative and unique! I have been to many friends' weddings but I've never seen such energetic and friendly photographer like Kim - I love to have such photographer at our wedding. By the end of the day we got almost 2000 photos for a short photo coverage because she never put her camera down. She is truly professional. I understand it was not easy to find a budget but quality photography service in LA. But Robert Yu Photography has an amazing team - I was attracted by all of their photos. Robert and Kim were so efficient on photo processing after the wedding. We had all the unedited pictures in less than a week via Google Drive and our finely edited photos were done in about three weeks. We were able to select our photos for editing. But it was so hard to select from 2000 photos which were already so good in quality, color and lighting! My husband and I were totally happy with our wedding photos. The experience with Kim was awesome! I hope we can go back with these photographers for our future events. read more

We are very happy to say we hired the right photographers! Before we met Robert and Chris, we had contacted a few other photographers who all had let us down for too big budget or less availability - it's totally frustrating. Then I contacted Robert Yu Photography, and I was then VERY impressed by their lightning-fast and friendly response with good price and amazing portfolio. Robert and Chris took care of my request in less than 30min. After the conversation with them, we decided that their "deluxe package" with full day photo coverage, frame, prints and album fit our needs and budget! Their album looked amazing! It's a super large glass-covered album and the quality of the photos inside were just unbelievable. I knew that our wedding venue at Temecula was a little bit far from the city but still they were so nice to assign three staff to travel all the way down to our venue without even charging any travel fee. Tiffany and Kim had been very nice to me. They took incredibly beautiful pictures of me getting ready at our suite. I loved the way they captured moments and communicated with me fully before the shoot. Our wedding was running a bit late but both of them were patient to accommodate our last-minute change of timeline. I felt so relieved when I saw the photos because I had been very anxious about my makeup and hair. Kim and Tiffany were able to get the best angle of me and suggest the best location with proper lighting, just to make me feel better and look prettier in their pictures. Robert was there shooting my husband in another room. I almost cried when I saw his pictures for my husband getting ready. They didn't miss a single shot with the fast-pace timeline. I especially love the lighting and romantic touch in their photos, which totally went beyond my expectation. The ceremony planning was a little chaotic but the photos turned out amazing because three of them took pictures from different angles which captured every single moment of our vow, ring-exchange and first kiss and the ceremony. Words can't express our excellent experience with Robert and his team! My husband and I were absolutely in love with the final edits, prints and album. They made efforts to deliver quality work and amazing customer experience. The entire process from booking, shooting to post-production was so smooth and enjoyable for us. It was a pleasure working with them. We are 100% satisfied and we highly recommend this studio to shoot your weddings. read more

I got beautiful photos from Robert and Chris. Love it. Friendly, Professional photographers. = D read more

My husband and I got married over three years ago. Our contract included three albums, and I paid him additionally for additional photos to be edited (all documented). We have not received our albums, three in total, despite it being within our contract. We kept getting the run around, then were told the delay was due to Covid. Despite so much time having passed, we still put our trust in him. We truly gave him the benefit of the doubt. We have sent Robert Yu numerous emails, calls, texts, to inquire the status of our CONTRACTED albums and he has stopped responding. If there is a delay, and it is a legitimate delay, the appropriate way of handling it would be to be in regular communication with your client to inform them of updates. I He however, has blocked our numbers. It is extremely frustrating that he continues to post and advertise an honest photography company, when reality his business is a scam, and he is a liar. He is clearly active on social media, as is his co-photographer/wife. He has made his Instagram private, clearly to avoid the risk of people calling him out on social media. A wedding is one of the most important events in a lifetime, and we trusted him. It is disheartening to know that per other people's reviews on here and Google, other people have been scammed as well. He took our money. We did not want to resort to this route, as we truly felt we had a good rapport with Robert Yu, however he has left us no choice but to move forward in pursuing legal action. read more

Robert did a wonderful job on my maternity pictures, not only he's talented but he's really patient (we also brought our 2 year old, and trust me it's not easy to shoot toddlers at that terrible 2 stage). Chris was super nice to keep our toddler company while we did couple and individual shoots. We loved all the pictures, and can't wait to show them to our friends and relatives. Highly recommended, he's definitely you're go to guy for awesome photography!! Thumbs up!! read more

I needed some corporate headshots, and worked with a different photographer previously, that didn't come out so well. Robert was easy to work with, professional, and really fast turn around time. Pictures came out great. read more

This is the greatest photography I have ever worked with. I saw our Facebook friend's wedding pictures when I was searching for photographers for my own wedding. Referred by this friend, we contacted Robert for their service. They accommodated us with a very good offer and we decided to hire them immediately. We were told by our friend that they had a team of talented photographers and Robert was the only person doing the edits. Kim was our photographer on the day. Kim was a very fun person and had been extremely kind and patient during the whole day. Initially I assumed the lighting at the country club was not favorable for photography but our outdoor photos looked very beautiful. Kim managed to get golden sunset for our portraits. We loved all her shots. She captured all the good moments very efficiently (We didn't we would have over 2000 pictures! Amazing!!!) She did an incredible job on posing us and making us laugh in front of the camera. I love the candid and creative style of her work. At a single location, she can shoot different angles and backgrounds so that we ended up with lots of different good shots to choose from. She was so thoughtful and helpful on the day. She helped my husband with his flowers and she helped me lay my dress before each formal picture. Our family members loved working with her The most beautiful part of it was that we didn't have to wait for too long for all the photos. It took them only a few days to upload all my photos on a google link and they sent me a few sneak preview photos on the day and returned all my selected edits in less than three weeks. For a few family photos, there was a few people in the background. Robert carefully removed all the distracting objects in the background. I like the black and white edits by him. Robert knows perfectly how to retouch. He slimmed my face a little bit (lol) and my husband's double chin and blemishes on one side of the face. The alternation was subtle but I was totally impressed by such service which was not usually offered by other photographers. They went extra miles for customer service. The online gallery was very professional and beautiful. I would say our wedding photography service is the best investment we have ever made. read more

I contacted Robert for my cousin's wedding at a very short notice. I was going to book a video and photo package for the sweet couple as a gift, and Rober and his team's service didn't let me down. My cousin and her husband were both very happy with the photos and videos. They are very shy people, act very nervous in front of the camera, but Robert and the other photographers were able to pose them so naturally and capture all the moments during the wedding. Robert was considerable enough to help with us putting together a good timeline for the big day and gave lots of valuable advice on the planning. We finally made it a great day without any hassle. The photos and videos were delivered very soon, almost right after the wedding. We didn't wait for too long to get our edits too. They used top tier Canon system to shoot and edited the photos using professional software. The minor imperfection on our faces was all removed in a subtle way. It was taking place during noontime but the lighting of the photos was well-balanced. Most importantly, the whole team has been very responsive and reliable before during and after the wedding. I would highly recommend Robert Yu Photography for any couples that are going to book weddings around LA. Thank you Robert for being so awesome. I will book you for my future wedding. :) read more

Fantastic photographer and great person. Robert took beautiful photos of my family on the beach. We had a great time and the pictures came out beautifully.

I highly recommend Robert Yu. read more

Robert's Photography work is super amazing, I was blown away with the result of our wedding photos. Not only do I like our photos, I love every single one of it. I will definitely book him for the next chapter of our life. He is super friendly, professional and easy to work with. We got so much compliment from our photos, many of our family and friends had inquired about him and will be booking him. Thank you so much Robert, for documenting absolutely stunning photos of our special day! read more

My Fiance and I had our engagement pictures taken by Robert Yu and his partner Chris Han. It was a fun photo session for us, they made us feel very comfortable. They are an amazing team and exceptional at what they do. I can't stress how much I love how our photos came out. The whole experience was excellent. We definitely will call on Robert Yu in the near future. read more

My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Robert and his assistant Chris. They were professional and friendly, and the quality of their work was excellent. They also travelled a very long way for our wedding in San Juan Capistrano, which we appreciated. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding or special occasion photographer. We couldn't have been happier! Thank you again Robert! read more

I need to take some headshots for my job interview and my friend recommended Robert to me. I've got to say it's totally beyond my expectation~ The best headshot ever in my career life! And I definitely will refer Robert to my friends and colleagues~ read more

Robert did an amazing job taking our family holiday photos. He recommended a beautiful location and did a masterful job coordinating our wiggly children. The entire process was fun and much less stressful than anticipated. The photographs turned out incredibly beautiful, and the turnaround time was very fast. I would highly recommend Robert for gorgeous, natural-looking family portraits! read more

Robert and Chris helped to take my profile photos and graduation photos and they came out gorgeously! I am glad they captured the amazing moments in my life!! read more

Robert Yu Photography is honestly so great! He and his team are so professional and easy to work with. I hired this company for my wedding October 7, 2017 and I am very pleased with all of my photos, video, the process, and the customer service I was given. He was very accommodating and understanding as well. He has a nice professional workspace for you to meet with him in where you will discuss all of your needs and what you're looking for for your special occasion or event. I literally have nothing bad to say about this company. The only downside (which I'm sure could be due to him being in high demand, company growth/expansion, or flat out "your" status) would be that I wanted Robert himself to take my photos and be at my wedding. I was SO looking forward to working with a professional like him. But PLEASE don't let that hold you back from booking with him. Nonetheless, SERIOUSLY, his team is totally up to par and did an amazing job! When I tell you they captured all the little special moments and artistic angles shots that I could've never even thought or dreamed of... my God! THEY WERE ON IT! I'm so satisfied with everything that was captured and I honestly feel like I was able to walk away from my wedding day and have it completely documented for my eternal enjoyment. I recommend Robert Yu photography to anyone for their special occasion or event. read more

Fast service and great shots. He was prompt, patient, and proficient. Thanks Robert for your quick and beautiful work.

Robert Yu Photography was amazingly good! My husband was so anxious about our photography and videography because none of us were photogenic. But from start to finish, Chris and Cat's service were fantastic!!! They communicated with us and sent us lots of information before the wedding which made our big day much easier. Chris kept track on our timeline and gave valuable advice about where and when to do the photoshoot and video. The photography by Chris was creative and sweet. Cat did a great job on our wedding video, for which she took over 200 raw footage for 8 hours. I looked perfect in her camera for my bridal portrait. They understood how to pose me and frame me in limited space in our bridal room. Our venue was a small country club, which was unique but wasn't like very luxurious but they were able to take our wedding photos like it's a million-dollar wedding. I felt so great about it. Our couple pictures were very romantic and beautiful. She gave us some directions at first and let us enjoy the moment when she started to take candid photos. We just got our album and frames. They looked great - nice design and premium quality. Thank them both for great effort and the whole team put their heart in our wedding. They are highly recommended! read more

Robert's work is absolutely amazing! He photographed our wedding. Robert and his assistant Chris were very professional and super friendly.

Thank you Robert and Chris! read more

I will start job hunting soon and need some business head shots. Robert came onsite to take photos for me and my classmates. He was so professional and helpful. Natural pictures and reasonable price. I enjoyed working with him. If you need photography done, I definitely recommend Robert! read more

Robert is simply AMAZING! I found him on Yelp and originally approached him last year for our wedding this March. He was so patient and helpful in meeting with us and helping us choose the right package. He even helped us design a payment plan and it really helped a lot with our financial situation at the time... After two meetings and 30 emails, we ended up booking him for our big day. Man, this is the right choice. Our wedding was a super large one with over 300 guests. Robert and his team were so professional and patient when taking pictures for us, the bridal party, families and the guest. On the day of the wedding, my wife was running late. Robert was so worried that we might not have enough good photos...so he pushed us and arranged for time for our romantic shots. At the end of the day we got more than enough beautiful pictures and thanks to Robert. We wouldn't have done it without his caring and professionalism. I wish I would have chosen them for our videography as well. And we just received a package last week and we were totally impressed by the quality of the album. My wife and I can't wait to show everybody this album... Hey guys, if you are getting married and you are doing all the work, choose Robert! He is not gonna let you down. read more
