Highly recommend if you are looking for a wedding photographer. She perfectly captured the romantic, fairy tale mood we wanted. Her day-of presence never made us feel stressed, rushed, tired, or fake; it was like having your best friend take pictures of you. She caught every single moment thanks to the detailed itinerary she worked out with us, and the editing was true-to-life and made us look our best while still showcasing the style that drew us to her. We received a ton of sneak peek pictures before we even finished our honeymoon. Our second shooter, Julie, was fun and helpful, and really made sure we had coverage everywhere.

John, The photos you captured of me were beautiful. Just…read morewhat I was looking for. I've never really had a photographer capture my personality in that way and capture me as I moved about. I let you know what was important to me and you listened. That was evident. From the moment I met you at the shoot location , I felt comfortable. You were casually dressed and ready to bend and arc to get the shot and stay connected to me and what we were doing. From that initial contact with you through email you clarified what I wanted and needed in my photos. You offered your professional opinion and gave me options. You listened, responded to my questions quickly, and I didn't have to wonder if you would respond. We booked as i felt I could trust your work yet mostly your character. One of the persons in my business group highly recommended you. You made sure from start to finish I felt taken care of, You skillfully followed the light and me. You worked with how I moved and gave me direction as I was trying to capture a dance movement in a photo and reach my audience. You got it! I love my photos. Thank you John, you're quite the professional and gentleman. Thank you for helping me up when my heels gave me a little spill. I hope to work with you in the future exclusively for all of my photo needs. I'd highly recommend you to anyone looking to capture who you are and reach your audience while doing it. John will get the shot! Sincerely, Shantel Sent from my iPhone

When I was first looking for a photographer, I was in awe of his variety of artistic and breathtaking photos on his site from other weddings & events. As a fellow creative, I wanted someone that could see the possibilities and offer unique photos and he went above and beyond that! Joey really put us at ease with his fun energy & sense of humor. We all had a great time laughing with our wedding party and everyone. Joey and his team are so friendly, creative and professional. We really appreciate how quickly Joey and Mr. Tracy responded to our questions in the beginning and in the consultation. Even with the heatwave in LA of our wedding weekend, our photos came out AMAZING. The love, joy and giddiness of that day is captured along with the little details in our centerpieces and other things that we made for our wedding. Here's a few our favorite photos from the preview. We're so excited to see the rest! We highly recommend Joey Ikemoto Photography!! Thank you so much Joey and team for everything!

Flash back to a few years ago she did all of the photos for my fathers 60th birthday party, we are a family of 7(not including spouses), so its pretty hard to get a picture that captures everyone well, but somehow Heather managed to do it, and quite well I might add. We have hired Heather multiple times and are always impressed with the quality of her work!!

If you want to re-live your big day over and over again years later, James is your guy! My wife and I had never done a professional photoshoot. Neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera. After interviewing 5 different photographers, we knew from our first conversation that James was the one. He is incredibly friendly, easy going, and knowledgeable. We agreed to do an engagement session, 1 location for 90mins to see if we'd be comfortable working with James. It couldn't have gone better. Initially, we were a bit stiff, but James gave us tips on how to act naturally, suggested poses and hand positions that made us feel and look relaxed. The time flew by and we actually ended up going to a second location with a wardrobe change. Overall, it was about 2 hours. James did not mind at all. In fact, he probably could've gone longer if the sun hadn't set on us! Our photos were edited and received in less than 2 weeks! James was kind enough to print a large poster and sign that shipped to our house in just a few days. He price matched any package/prints from other photographers. Having gone through our engagement session seamlessly, we hired James to shoot our wedding as well. He and an assistant were on site for 10 hours, tending to our every need and keeping us on our timeline. After our planned family/wedding party photos, we hardly even noticed them working as we proceeded with wedding events. After the wedding, we received many compliments on how great James was and several guests asked for his contact information. Within a couple of days, we received a preview of about 20 photos highlighting our big day. We were thrilled! Every important moment was captured so elegantly! The full magazine of photos was available for download in about 1 month. James then worked with us to print a high quality photo book for our coffee table. You can't go wrong with James--his high quality work and work ethic speak for themselves. There is no substitute for how easy and stress free he made us feel, so that we could truly enjoy ourselves knowing that he would capture every single moment candidly. Do not hesitate to hire James, it will be the best decision you will ever make.

The mini session was 15 minutes - she was happy, gentle, and warm with the kids and we felt so comfortable despite never having met before. I went to the session hoping to get 2-3 good photos - instead, we now have a photo gallery full of photos that bring so much joy. It's hard to get good family photos with 2 young toddlers, so I'm especially thankful for these treasured memories.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone wanting timeless, heartfelt photos. We're so grateful for these memories and can't wait to book future sessions!
