Since this was the first time we both got married, we didn't know much He educated us, he was friendly, his pricing is great, and most importantly, his pictures were breathtaking. He had us visualizing what our pictures would be like. We didn't even consider videography until we met him, and saw it wouldn't take us completely out of budget. He kept us reassured throughout the 1.5 year engagement, which at times was very hectic. Not to his fault, but I wish we could have had more settings in our pictures, but lack of time prevented it. Keep this in mind! The day of, he was timely and took his job seriously. As a non-photogenic couple, he had us pose and instructed our families for some of the best photos our family has ever taken. The only downfall was the issue of receiving the edited photos and the timeline was unclear. I am not sure how much time was spent editing all the photos. However, when we did receive them, we were satisfied. To our surprise, the video was a lot better than we expected. If he didn't spend a lot of time editing, you could tell a lot of time was spent on the video. It was almost an hour long! In summary, I would recommend Carlos to everyone and when there are other events in the future he will be on the top of the list! Thank you Rivas Photography, and I wish your business so much success

Brandon is truly the greatest photographer ever!! He came well recommended by one of our friends…read moreand we loved his work. We researched and interviewed many other photographers but we chose Brandon and couldn't be happier!! We had a few meetings with Brandon on the type of photos (poses, editing, lighting, etc) we wanted and he delivered on everything! Whenever we see our photos we're always in shock! We can't believe how good we look and how perfect everyone else looks! Brandon is truly an artist who captures the absolute perfect moment that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Weddings can be stressful and the last thing you want to worry about are photos and I can honestly say I never had to worry about Brandon. He's very communicative, does everything in a very timely manner, and is super thorough. More importantly Brandon is one of the nicest guys I've ever met and he truly wants to give you the wedding of your dreams. Simply talking to him puts your stress and heart at ease and we couldn't have been happier with Brandon and his work! We highly recommend him and he's the absolute best!!!

We were afraid that the lowly lit romantic setting of the venue would create a problem, but the photos turned out beautifully, and they captured multiple angles of every detail and event. We also opted for their photobooth option... and let me tell you - WHAT A HIT!! The sparkly pink backdrop was gorgeous, the props were fun and the do it yourself interface of the screen was easy to use (you can even redo shots!). My guests used the photobooth nonstop. We also arranged to have 20+ family portraits taken. These photos turned out perfect and are so special my family is printing them for all of our family members to have and cherish. On the day before our reception, my hair stylist called in sick on me, and was unable to procure a replacement in a timely manner. I panicked and reached out to everyone I knew, including Brandon. Within one or two hours Brandon had secured a well known professional hair stylist for me!! Talk about last minute, above and beyond service! Finally, and perhaps most important, Brandon and his team were professional, punctual, flexible, respectful and have great vision. With all that you get, their price is a steal. I would recommend Brandon and his team to any bride-to-be!

Actually I met Ken as a fashion photographer when I worked at E-commerce company couple years ago,…read morebut I realized through Instagram that he also takes wedding photos too and after seeing such sensuous and wonderful photos thus I requested him to take my wedding photos. The results were more than I expected. He approached us very professionally, such as detailed advice and preparation process before shooting date and since photography is my usual hobby, I could trust that the equipment he uses is quite expensive and professional. Above all, various concepts such as pose photos, candid photos and directing photos were carried out throughout the photo shoot. Even during the shooting, he led me and my wife well so that I wouldn't be nervous, and I was once again impressed by how they prepared thoroughly by requesting information about the venue on the day of the wedding in advance. I signed a package for an outdoor shoot and a wedding day shoot, and he devoted himself to shooting every location. Specially from the makeup preparation process to the first look shoot at the dress shop in wedding day. The price was very reasonable and competitive and of course I would give him 6 stars instead of 5 LOL. If I have a child soon and have a 1 year birthday party, of course I will ask to him, and many of my guests at the wedding were fascinated by his photos and asked for his contact information. I can say that if you ask Ken Yoo Studio for a shoot, you will never regret it and it will be the best choice.

He's very thorough and pays attention to details. The photos were beyond amazing. On top of that he is very professional and friendly. The family loved him. I will say my wife wasn't sure if we needed video because she thinks wedding videos are cheesy but I told her Stephen would do a good job especially since he has formal education in film.... And I was right. She watched the video like 100 times the first day we got it back. She was soooo in love with the photos. We shared with family and friends and they all agreed that this was the best wedding video they've ever seen. We asked Stephen to take lots of candid photos of the guests and he captured everyone beautifully. Our guests enjoyed having lovely professional photos of them and we get to have memories of everyone having a great time. My wife and I are truly grateful. My wife now says she wishes Stephen can come capture all our life events. Thank you Stephen!

For anyone who is searching for a wedding photographer, you can stop searching now because Stephen…read moreis who you need to go with. We absolutely loved working with Stephen for our wedding photos. From our first conversation to the final shots of the wedding, Stephen was patient, reliable, and professional. The photos turned out AMAZING. We decided to have a more intimate wedding where we would only invite our immediate family and loved ones. We really hoped to capture the day's moments and to express somewhat more of a "story" for when we look back at it in the future. Stephen really captured all the key moments and candids that express how the day truly felt. A key thing we absolutely appreciated about Stephen was that he was so cool, calm, and collected the entire day. Our guests never felt rushed or taken "out of the moment" with Stephen; additionally, so many of our guests complimented him about how he was very friendly and patient. PS: If you don't know how to pose, do not worry! Stephen gave us clear instructions on how to pose which was SO GREAT because we definitely needed his advice on that. He would remind us about where to place your bouquets, avoiding the 90 degree angle elbows, and I still remember him telling me about my phone in the front pocket multiple times. Stephen captured everything that we wanted and really exceeded our expectations. I would definitely recommend Stephen.

From the beginning, Tony was very responsive and helpful in answering all our questions. I appreciated how interactive and collaborative he was throughout the whole process. Not only did he request for us to send inspo photos, but he also provided great suggestions of photo spots around our venue. His ability to engage and listen is a testament to how dedicated he is in delivering quality work for his clients. On the big day, Tony and his second shooter, Cliff, were wonderful. They made us feel comfortable and brought such great energy to our day, especially when there were changes to the schedule. They also worked well with our videographer. In doing so, they were able to feed off one another and elevate each other's work. Overall, Tony was professional and went above and beyond.
