We're so happy and lucky we got to have Joey Ikemoto and his team capture the beautiful memories of…read moreour special day!! 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!

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.

Trying to get good photos of a 1 year old throughout an event is almost impossible but Alex effortlessly grabbed some adorable candid photos and managed to keep her engaged enough for the numerous family photos.

We initially chose Mike as our wedding photographer because of his editing style, which was very…read moreimportant to me, and his ability to capture candid moments naturally. We recently received our wedding photos, and words can't describe how happy we are with them! The shots, lighting, and editing are absolutely beautiful and captured the magic of our day. Our guests have also raved about how stunning the photos are, and how perfectly Mike captured our vibes. Many shared our sentiment of how great of a photographer he is. We also did our engagement session with Mike, and, as a couple who's a bit shy about posing, we let him know upfront that we might need some guidance. Mike was amazing at helping us relax and feel natural, which transitioned beautifully on the wedding day. His calm and friendly presence made it easy to just enjoy the moment and let him work his magic. On the wedding day, Mike was both professional and flexible. We had a list of must-have shots, which included a 21-person wedding party and family, and he worked efficiently to get each one while still capturing plenty of organic, candid moments. He was very realistic about timing, giving us guidance on what was achievable without ever making us feel rushed. Working with Mike was easy and enjoyable from start to finish. If you're looking for a photographer who will capture the authentic beauty of your day and create breathtaking images, we highly recommend Mike!

We've now worked with her twice -- for our daughter's 6-month and 1-year cake smash -- and have loved every experience. We've worked with several photographers, and she is by far the best with our daughter. What truly sets her apart is her kind and incredibly patient nature. She makes everyone feel comfortable, and it shows in the photos. On top of that, her aesthetic is beautiful, and she makes the entire process feel seamless and easy. She is absolutely worth the drive, and her pricing is incredibly reasonable for the quality and experience she provides. We're so excited to continue working with her in the future and couldn't recommend her more highly!

I was a bit all over the place with what I wanted and Rhea was incredibly patient and answered all my questions. We then set a date/time to meet at her studio to bring my son in. I let her know what the theme was for his party, and she took the initiative to buy things in theme that totally made the photo shoot. She was great with my son and got a bunch of smiles from him. Everyone who has seen the pictures, is obsessed. Rhea is super creative, incredibly talented and a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the near future as she also does holiday photos. Thanks Rhea!

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

After continued attempts to get a hold of Angela via phone and emails, I finally tried TEXTING Angela in November. I was happy to see a text response from her! but then baffled when I read her message. I've attempted to post screenshots of the text exchange but it appears only a portion is posting. In summary, Angela stated she felt she was harassed by me and would not respond to my bullying tactics. Again, I was dumbfounded. Ultimately, she refused to return our $100 deposit and went silent on us again. In hindsight, I should have noticed that most of the Yelp reviews are over a year old. I don't see any recent reviews which should have been a red flag. I hope Angela is able to improve her operations and customer experience as she is clearly talented at taking beautiful photos.
