Absolute God-given talent! I've known Russell for not too long, but long enough to know what talent he has in photography! Actually, when I first met him I kept teasing that he was pretending to be a professional photographer (because when you talk to him you would never guess) until I did my research..have you?! RP studios is at the very top of my list for photography for ANY future events. Russell always seems to catch the live genuine "moment" in every picture, absolutely beautiful! His wedding shots are my favorite, I can easily see & essentially feel the hot romance just by one picture! Great eye & perception to say the least. Don't worry about the event or occasion you have going on, he will surely catch the "moment" in ANY situation. Humble & amazing! I promise you won't be let down, RPstudios for your next event! (: **Don't forget the photobooth! So so fun!! & prints INSTANTLY(; read more

Our wedding planner referred us to RPhotoStudios for photo booth services. Russell and his staff were very quick to respond and work with us to meet our photo booth needs. He also created a custom logo with our names and wedding date for the photo prints. The photo booth added an extra piece of fun (a ton of great props) for our friends and family that they will never forget, it also served as another take home gift for the guests. The photo booth attendants were very helpful and professional the whole night. Overall 5 stars and I recommend their services to everyone! read more

After searching a few months for a wedding photographer, I somehow stumbled around and found Rphotostudios. So we tried him out for our engagement shoot. Once we were at our photo shoot, we just felt comfortable and everything just seemed fun!!! That was when we got to know more about Russell. Russell is a very talented, wonderful, patient, caring, creative and hardworking person. He made you feel at easy with everything, made you think outside of the box, and is always just happy and excited. So after the shoot we decided to sign the contract and continue with Rphotostudios and as we were signing up for the contract, Russell was very helpful in explaining everything in detailed to us, which most photographers don't do. So our wedding day arrives and as a Vietnamese Catholic Wedding, there are many customs we do, so we talked to Russell about it. Russell made notes and comments on things that were important to us. On the day of the wedding, I was just a smiling bride, happy and stress free! Russell and his team was always on the dot when the moments came they were there to capture all the beautiful moments on that day. I am soooo glad I booked Rphotostudios!!!! P.S. Rphotostudios has a photobooth package which i really recommend! Especially if you are thinking of doing "Thank You Cards" to give to each guest. It saved us a lot of money! After the Thank You Cards Photos, we turn it into a photobooth for our guest to enjoy. OH BOY, did our guest LOVEEEEeeee it!!! I reallly recommend Rphotostudios!!! read more

Rphotostudios - Our Engagement photo :D - Photo Booth Rentals Near Me

See all

I first heard about Rphotostudios at an event I attended a couple of years ago, and they made the event 100x better! With the clever photo booth, and the exciting atmosphere it lets attendees have a blast and loosen up at mixers (we all know they can be a little stiff sometimes). I have since hired him multiple times for my own events. Using both the photo booth and his photography shots. And will continue to do so for every event I host. Russell is very professional and his company is well organized that it makes hiring him easy and fun. Prices are reasonable, and he is willing to work in any situation, or take ideas on what you would like to see. I enjoy working with this company and recommend them to all my friends! read more

Russell and his team worked on our engagement and wedding photos. We also got the photo-booth. How can you go without it? Even my 80+ grandma was getting a kick out of it. The engagement pictures came out beautiful, and I can't wait to see my wedding pictures, but the little I've seen, uh I like. We did all out shoots between Orange and Fullerton. Fullerton has great locations and this is where we focused our photos, plus we live here. We're so happy we booked Russell and his team for our wedding. read more

Booking Russell and Cara for our wedding was the best decision we made! From the moment we met them, we both felt very comfortable and can just feel the passion they had for photography and love in general. They really want to get to know you as a couple so they can tailor their style to you. Walking out of the meeting with them, we just knew we had to have them shoot out wedding! We had an engagement shoot first and we gave the location and a few props, and they took it from there. They truly captured the vision we were going for. Both are very good photographers and just have an eye for placement, poses, and lighting. My husband and I just let loose and they captured the moments. Cara was very good at making sure my makeup, hair, or accessories looked just right. On wedding day, it was pure chaos in the hotel room and all morning but they somehow were able to work around all the commotion. They did their research and scoped out the venue ahead of time so they already knew where they wanted certain shots. I have a big and demanding family and they were able to deal with them all! Right before our big day, Russell and Cara got engaged! We were so excited for them and felt so special we were the first couple they are shooting as an engaged couple =D My husband and I really felt like we were treated like family. I can go on and on about these two lovebirds but see for yourself! Do not hesitate to book Rphotostudios! read more

Amazing photographer! Russell has been taking pictures for my husband and I since before he started his business! During your photo shoots Russell seriously has a way of making you feel comfortable. Taking pictures can be kind of nerve wrecking but with Russell it makes the process really smooth and easy. His photo booth is amazing also! Prints in seconds! Tons of props to choose from also! Definitely something to have at any party! You won't be disappointed! read more

I've been very blessed to have worked with great people as part of my business and one of those great people just happens to be Mr. Russell Purificacion from RP Photography (rphotostudios). To be open, Russell has been a great friend for many years...ever since he started taking an interest with photography. I've seen him grow in both the love for photography and the skill and artistry that is needed to become a great photographer. Bottom line: he's a great photographer, folks. Why? Not because he's my good friend and not because I've known him for so long. He's a great photographer because he is a great photographer! Characteristics include: 1) Great "eye" for capturing very special moments that tell stories with every photograph. 2) Great personality making either formal or casual shoots comfortable. 3) Great customer-oriented professional who knows the business and will work with you to make your next captured event is what you want and within your budget. These 3 (out of the many other) reasons alone are the sole reasons why I, specifically, am grateful and privileged to be working with Russell on a regular basis as he continues to serve my business. I hope that my joy shown in this review of his work will further push you to contact him for your next function. He won't miss a shot. read more

Its been 4 years and we are still waiting for our wedding video... I would post the one we got initially but its pretty embarrassing. Please reach out, we have been waiting. read more

RPhotoStudios is really as good as it gets! I've attended multiple events where his photo booth is the life of the party. Not only do you get a fun addition to your party, you also get a professional staff that tends to your needs. I recently had an event of my own and I had no hesitation when I decided to hire Russell for the photo booth. The event was a success and once again everyone raved about the booth. It's always a pleasure to work with Russell and his team, and I will continue to recommend him to all of my friends! read more

I've asked Russell to be a photographer for some church events. The pictures always turn out FANTASTIC! He takes amazing posed AND candid shots! He's also used his photobooth for a Kids' Night at our church. I think I had more fun playing with it then the kids! It was SUPER easy to use & the kids loved it! If I ever get engaged, married and/or have kids, I'm hiring him to do the photography for whichever ones happen (& use his photo booth for my wedding!)! BOOK HIM NOW! :) read more

I have had the privilege of asking Russell to take pictures for many of my personal and family events. He did an amazing job capturing memories of my sister's 18th birthday party, my graduation photos, and some of our family portraits. He is always willing to work with your ideas (e.g. location, style) and of course, your budget. Not only is he professional and fun, but he gets your photos to you in a timely manner. If you're looking for someone who is professional, fun, and has an artistic eye, look no further than Rphotostudios! read more

In a nutshell I would recommend Russell in a heartbeat! He is extremely professional and its so helpful to book him for photography!

I highly recommend Rphotostudio's photo booth services! High quality pictures, and Russell is awesome to work with. He will make your event the best with his custom photo booth! read more

Rphotostudios is a great photographer to hire for your next event! Russell took photos of my debut (18th birthday) and my court, which is 18 other people. He worked very well with us and made us feel vey comfortable. He has good directing skills and has a good eye for taking pictures. The pictures were taken at Balboa Park, he mentioned to me that he wasn't very familiar with the place but it seemed like he knew all the great spots to take the picture! They came out very nice. Not only did he do my photoshoot but also my actual event. He is over all a great photographer and a fantastic editor. If you are going to hire him, ask for the photobooth. It was a success at my party and I'm sure it'll be popular at yours too! Thanks again russell! -Gem Manuel read more

Russell took my portraits and photos for my debut. The pictures were absolutely lovely :) I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture my special moment! He's such a pleasure to work with and all of the photos came out so beautifully. Let's not forget the photo booth he provided! Everyone had a blast and it was definitely the favorite spot at the party :) If you're looking for gorgeous pictures and a friendly photographer, you've found the perfect person. Thank you so much Russell, I really appreciate it and will definitely be doing business with you again! :) read more

russell and his now fiancee cara are the best! you could tell from the very beginning how passionate they are about capturing people's love through photography. both our engagement and wedding photos turned out wonderful. my husband is critical of photos since he used to do photography himself, but really enjoyed their work. they were completely flexible, professional, and fun to work with. our wedding day was a bit chaotic, but they did a wonderful job of capturing our simple but sweet wedding day. an amazing job of making us feel comfortable throughout the day. they captured all of the special and important moments of our special day. i would highly recommend them. read more

Russell took my wife's maternity photos and the photos were awesome. He was very creative and is genius with lighting. In addition my wife is usually shy when it comes to a professional photo shoot like this but Russell and his team were able to make the experience fun that made the photos even more amazing. read more

I've known Russell since '05 and my first impression of him was fun and really tall. He always had a camera and even if we didn't know each other, he'd document our times out together with pictures. I wasn't surprised when he chose to be a professional photographer. Lucky for me, he chose to do a shoot with me. I told him, "nooo wayyy. i don't want to." But he assured me it'd be good. When we finally found the time to do the photo shoot, he was super dedicated. He went to the spot where he was going to take pictures at in the morning before he took me there. He studied the way he'd take the pictures really well, 'cos he knew exactly where to go and where to shoot. He's awesome at pictures even if you're just an amateur like me. Russell sent me the pictures and I really loved it because I didn't look photoshopped or anything different. It was the best pictures. I love him and you'll love him too! Seriously!! read more

Where do I start??! Booking RPhotoStudios was the first wedding decision I made, and it was definitely the best one!! I had seen Russell's work when he did one of my good friend's wedding, and I was thoroughly impressed not just by the work itself but how easy it was the work with him(I was a bridesmaid in the wedding). Russell is very professional, and so kind! During the consultation there was never any pressure to book right away, which is very refreshing during any kind of interaction with wedding vendors. Everyone I have interacted with from RPhotoStudios has been absolutely AMAZING. Cara was very sweet and not only shot amazing photos but made sure I looked good in all of them too! They go the extra mile to capture your special moments and genuinely want your photos to be everything you've always imagined. There were a few miscommunications on MY part on the wedding day, yet they worked around it effortlessly and everything went on without a hiccup. We also booked a photo booth with them, and it was a huge hit! My Wedding guests did it more than a few times each and kept commenting that it was one of the best photo booths they've seen at a wedding! Plus, Russell even incorporated R2D2 and Star Wars font on our photo strip print outs which was quite possibly the awesome thing ever for our *mildly* Star Wars themed wedding! :D overall, i was 110% happy with the decision to book RPhotoStudios and will definitely be calling soon for maternity/family shoots! Thanks Russell, Cara, Jun and everyone else at RPhotoStudios for truly making our big day special!! read more
