If you only read one line from this review, please read this;…read more Kelly and the team are the best photographers in the business and you should absolutely hire them. Encor previously shot engagement & wedding photo's for my brother-in-law's and the pictures came out absolutely wonderful, so we decided to also go with them for our engagement and wedding photography needs. They made the engagement shoot extremely easy, providing a list of recommended shooting locations and even scoped out the perfect area for us based on our request. On our wedding day we were worried as heavy rains were forecasted. The team did a great job of scouting out the area and giving us plan B's and plan C's in case we needed alt shooting locations. The photography was amazing and did a great job of helping us keep our energy up while keeping everything relaxed. The photographers were so creative with different lighting effects and camera angles despite not being familiar with the new wedding venue we chose. We feel they certainly got the best photos possible and were great with making accommodations for requests during the ceremony and reception. We received a few sneak peeks of our photos and are absolutely blown away so far! We couldn't be happier with choosing Encor and would encourage anyone that is looking for the best possible team and pictures to utilize them!

Kelly and tony were kind and followed up with my timeline I had created with my day of coordinator for the wedding and leading up to the day they were great to work with. They also did our engagements which we loved since we feel like we could be awkward but they were wonderful for our reception. I will cherish all these photos I have with family and friends and we can thank them enough for spending a 14 hour day with us. We can't wait to see our video from the best day!

From communication prior to booking, during the event and the final product, I was thoroughly impressed by Brittany and Connor's professionalism.

His work was amazing! Super quick turn around too. I look forward to working with them again.

The best decision I made was marrying my wife, and Serendipity The Venue was the best decision we…read moremade to host the wedding! We got married here on Saturday, March 14, 2026 to coincide with the 10-year anniversary of our first date! My fiancée & I needed an ideal venue where we could get married and have everything all-inclusive (ceremony & reception) within Orange County, in one location. We came across Serendipity The Venue in Fountain Valley and saw the great reviews so we made an appointment to meet with the owner, Brad Ho in February 2025. From the moment we walked in, right away we saw the place was classy, beautifully decorated, and very large to easily host the 160+ guests we were inviting. I wanted to secure March 14, 2026 so I readily gave a deposit to ensure we had our date booked! We selected their top wedding package, The Serendipity Package and chose with the Asian 8-course dinner. What is fantastic about this package, it also includes two photoshoots. We did an engagement photoshoot in July (which turned out beautifully) and had the wedding photos the day of the wedding (both in a nearby park with the wedding party and in the venue during the ceremony and reception). So we also got the wedding photographers with our package, one less thing we needed to arrange! And they were pros, we're very impressed with how the pictures and videos turned out and captured the moment. We also appreciated they provided us a wedding coordinator (Maria) that works for them, and she ensured every detail came together as planned! We kept in touch with her regularly in the months leading up to our big day. The day of the wedding, March 14th, we were impressed by how they have a coordinated team that ensures everything flows smoothly! They had valet, professionally-dressed security, servers, bartenders, DJ, the photographers. For the reception the food was incredible, and the DJ, "DJ Charly" was engaging and made it a fun night! We're grateful to Brad, Carolina, and Maria for having this all come together. The wedding is behind us now and all our guests have been telling us for the past 2 weeks what a wonderful and incredible wedding we had! Thank you!! In appreciation, Kelly & Eva

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Serendipity the Venue about a month ago, and it was…read morethe wedding of our dreams! We wanted to take as much of the guesswork out of planning, so this was the ideal venue for us. We did not have to search for an additional ceremony space, DJ, photographer, videographer, caterers, bartenders, and catering service because those services were all included. Not to mention, security, valet, and a dedicated coordinator! We had a couple of special requests such as print-out welcome photos for our guests, two outside food vendors for our late-night snack, and a dedicated table for an outside silhouette artist we hired, all of which were accommodated with ease. I was even able to make a custom photo-booth print and bar signage, and was so excited to see them on display on the wedding day! We received so much positive feedback about our wedding from guests. Lots of compliments about the food (we went with Paracel catering), the music (shout out to DJ Kido who really understood the vibes we were going for), the photography (which we received very quickly by wedding photography standards), and the venue itself. Brad did a great job emceeing for us, and kept the schedule flowing while also bringing positive energy. Everyone was a pleasure to work with, from the wait staff, security, valet, Carolina and her photography/videography team, Maria as our coordinator. It felt like a well oiled ship. The service far beats the price. It was legitimately the best day of our lives, and it would not have happened without this team and venue!

Thank you John for guiding us through a lovely engagement photo session, and amazing job capturing every magical moment on our wedding day! If you are considering scheduling an call with John, do it!!

At the time I already had a photographer in mind. As the date got a little closer my photographer cancelled, so in a frantic effort I met with John to discuss hiring him. I was not disappointed, not one bit. Not only does he have a very calm, and professional demeanor, but he is seriously probably the nicest guy I've met. He takes his job seriously, but always makes it fun and exciting. He finds the right shots and is very creative with the shots he thinks would be best. He did our engagement photos and wedding, and we totally love our pictures. He was open to poses that we wanted, and also through in even better suggestions from experience. He knows great locations if you're not sure where you want to take pictures. He is filled with ideas because he genuinely cares about the quality of your photographs. He wants you to be happy! It's crazy how fast he went from "hired photographer" to family friend! If you're looking for someone to do family shots, weddings shots, engagements shots, or just personal portraits, John is definitely your guy. I promise you will NOT be disappointed with this decision.

Couldn't have dreamed of a better photographer (seriously). Our wedding was only a few hours long but at the end of Ziad had made friends with our family and friends in the process of taking pictures, which just set such a calm and enjoyable mood for the whole event.

She also offered to do the shoot at my home or a hotel room, but I decided on a photo studio. Boudoir shoots can be awkward with someone you don't personally know, but Lily made the entire process so comfortable and empowering! I felt like we were besties by the end of the shoot! She gave me 2 digital albums (one in color & one in B&W) with all of my edited photos. They came out amazing and have never felt more confident in myself! Thank you Lily!

Regarding our photos, Elvis was so good at guiding us and capturing the beautiful moments of our interactions, and I definitely love the color harmonies in the photos. I look forward to having Elvis in my wedding day for my special moments!

I'm very happy we sought Owen for our engagement photos. He was made the process easy and I…read moredefinitely recommend him to anyone in need of a professional photographer. My husband and I were surprised with how good the photos turned out. Owen guided us on poses, so do not worry if you don't have any experience in front of a camera like us. I appreciate his attention to detail (notifying us of stray hairs, etc.) and he was respectful for my family who wanted a group photo. Not to mention, he's really humorous with his pop culture references; that definitely broke the ice and allowed us to be more at ease. I also want to highlight that he works incredibly fast and presented the finished products just a few days after our shoot! Thank you, Owen, for capturing these special moments for me and my husband.

I can't say enough about Owen's services. He was the best photographer I think we have ever hired…read more Super friendly and professional from the start, easy to schedule and book. He knew what we were looking for and took pictures of everything, food, guests, the venue. He directed all of the family photos and wasn't afraid to tell people to fix things for the sake of the pictures. He had my kids taking their monstrous load of stuff out of their pockets and even had me "suck it in" to get the right shot. Quick delivery of the photos and was cool enough to just give us all of the picture for the event. Highly recommend....

As an event planner who has collaborated with Nicole on multiple occasions, I can confidently say…read moreshe is exceptional! She is everything both a client and a planner could want in a photographer talented, professional, calm under pressure, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Nicole is a true creative partner. She has the perfect balance of personality and leadership able to command a room when needed to achieve the shots that matter most, while still photographing in an organic, effortless way that captures the true essence of each moment. Her eye for lighting and angles is exceptional, and her work is consistently artistic, elevated, and timeless. Clients are beyond happy with their decision to book her, and it's easy to see why. Aside from her talent, her turnaround time is incredible. She shares sneak peeks so quickly, which clients always appreciate especially while they're still on that post-wedding high. And planners appreciate as well! Being able to relive such a meaningful day through photos (and video) so soon after the celebration is truly exciting, and Nicole consistently goes above and beyond to deliver galleries as quickly as possible without ever compromising quality. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I look forward to many more events together!! Xoxo

There are not enough words to express how much Nicole Kirshner means to me and my family. She has…read morebeen there to capture the most sacred, life-changing moments of my life from my engagement, wedding, pregnancy announcement, pregnancy, newborn photos, and family photos. Every single time she has given us something far beyond photographs. She has given us memories we will treasure forever. Nicole is the most genuine, loving, beautiful soul. From the moment you meet her, you feel safe, understood, and completely cared for. She pours her whole heart into her work, and it shows in every image. Her photos are not just stunning they are emotional, intimate, and alive. She captures love in its purest form. During seasons that were tender, emotional, and overwhelming, Nicole showed up with warmth, patience, and so much love for my family. These are moments you can never get back, and because of her, we get to relive them over and over again. I will forever cherish the times she has helped my family and the way she has preserved our story. I love her so much and am endlessly grateful for her talent, her heart, and her presence in our lives. Choosing Nicole as your photographer means choosing someone who will treat your memories like they matter because to her, they truly do.
