    Awesome Wedding Photographer

    Justin Kim and his team were amazing for our wedding on 2/24/24! I spent many hours searching for the perfect photographer that fit our style and budget and am so happy with our choice. Justin was extremely responsive and easy to work with leading up to the day of. We got married at an artsy venue and he got amazing shots of us, our guests, and the venue. He was also super efficient with directing us and getting pictures of us with our guests! My family still jokes about it but we were also super thankful for it. An amazing choice for anyone looking for a photographer!

    Wonderful photographer!

    One of my friends recommended Justin after having a good experience with him at his own wedding. We met and hired Justin a few years ago for our wedding, but our wedding was delayed multiple times over the years with the pandemic. Justin has been so flexible after I've had to change the wedding venue multiple times. He is incredibly quick to respond (within minutes) and that is an amazing thing when juggling multiple vendors for a wedding! He was super dependable, showed up early to our wedding, and had all my requested shots handy to make sure we did them. He took so many photos, I can relive the day just by scrolling through them! He edited close to 3000 photos and sent them all to me, which is insane because in other photographer quotes they were very limited in the number of edited shots. I love that I can choose my favorite photos from so many choices and every moment was captured. They are even better than I imagined and I have nothing but positive things to say about him! Please book him for your next event! :)

    Justin Kim is an amazing photographer!

    I have searched high and low for an good wedding photographer. I came across Justin Kim page and I fell in love with his style. I requested a quote and responded very quickly. Justin was super friendly and patient. So we booked him. When the day came he made everyone feel so comfortable. His energy was amazing and made everyone laugh the whole day! Justin also help me recreate some looks that I really like. I got my pictures back alot faster then i expected. I got the pictures under a month. The pictures came out so amazingly beautiful! I was so happy with Justin's service that my sister booked Justin right after. I will highly recommend Justin to all my family and friends!

    Outstanding Photographer, Exceptional Service, and Beautiful Photos

    My fiancé and I loved working with Justin for our engagement shoot. Our photoshoot was at Laguna Beach and I couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out! Before the photoshoot, I sent Justin a few pictures of examples of poses and styles of other peoples' engagement photos that I liked. Justin did an amazing job at capturing the exact style of photos that I wanted, and more! He was extremely dedicated to ensuring that we had plenty of photos with different poses and against different backdrops. He made the whole engagement photoshoot experience so fun, pleasurable, and memorable. After the photoshoot was over, he said that the photos should be ready within 2-3 weeks, but he got them to us within 2 days! His style and editing made the photos look beyond beautiful. We will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We look forward to working with him again on our wedding day!

    Excellent!

    Justin is truly an amazing and talented photographer!  We hired him for our wedding, but due to Covid, we ended up eloping but had him do a post wedding shoot at Crystal Cove Beach.  I did a lot of research on photographers and have a discerning eye.  I was always going back to Justin's work because it is superb and speaks for itself in regards to his talent.  I'm so glad to have booked him.  It is also helpful that he has excellent communication.  Justin was always quick to respond.  

    Our photos turned out beautiful and amazing.  We love his editing style.  Thanks Justin for giving us such memorable pictures!

    Easy and Wonderful

    Justin and his assistant Andrew were on time, and in the business of weddings, there's no time to waste. They were quick and efficient and got so many beautiful shots for me to enjoy afterwards. Though they are quick, they listen to what you want and make you feel comfortable. The day was hot when I got married, but Justin never showed any discomfort. He is also very prompt--even when I would send an email at night, he would respond immediately. Thank you Justin and Andrew for the amazing experience and for giving me beautiful photos to forever cherish.

    Amazing photographer!

    Justin is great to work with! We had him do our engagement and wedding photos and were so glad we picked him! He is super responsive and friendly and made the process so much more comfortable and fun for us! He was also very considerate and accommodating when we had weather concerns for our engagement shoot. Him and his assistants are all really talented and everyone was super impressed with how our photos turned out. Thank you so much Justin and I highly recommend him!

    Incredible experience and so much fun. Incredible pictures we will cherish.

    It has been more than a month since our wedding. Justin was an amazing photographer and he always responded to my text and phone calls right away. He brought Kimura San as his partner since my Mom only speaks Japanese. Justin and Kimura San have worked together as photographers for long time and their chemistry is fantastic. They are so great together and our guests LOVED their work. We felt so comfortable and kept laughing and smiling for the photo shoots.
    Me and my husband don't have many pictures together since he doesn't like pictures taken of him but with Justin, he posed like a model and the pictures turned out amazing.
    I totally recommend Justin to everyone!!!

    Click, Shoot, LOVE!

    The husband and I had a great time and we love our photos. Many photos were taken, laughs were made and time flew by. Justin has both patience and flexibility. In the most basic sense, he has passion, focus and creativity. I felt excited to continue taking photos, and I looked forward to seeing them. I love his art and lighting style. I have received so many compliments from friends and family, I could not be happier.

    Amazing experience with photographer

    We hired Justin as a photographer for our wedding day last April 28. I can honestly say that we couldnt have picked a better photographer because Justin was THE BEST!!! He was easy to contact and able to answer all our questions from the moment we first met with him up to our wedding day. He was assisted by Andrew and both of them were really pleasant to work with. On the day of our wedding, things got busy and hectic that I thought we werent able to capture all the smallest details but to my surprise when I received the photos, everything I wanted to be photographed was captured. I love every single photo that was taken. It was like re-living the wedding again just by browsing through the album. I also love how he edited the pics with the amout of exposure he used. I will definitely recommend Justin to my family and friends that needs a photographer for any of their events.

    Thank you Justin for such an amazing job!!!

    Incredible!

    Justin and Andrew were incredible to work with. I hired Justin for my engagement photos and also my wedding. Both experiences were wonderful and the pictures turned out amazing! My husband and I are incredibly happy with them. Justin is very easy to work with, great communicator and he's super understanding. His work speaks for itself. I strongly recommend him and would not hesitate to hire him again.

    So glad we found Justin for our wedding!

    We are so happy to have hired Justin as our wedding photographer. He was so understanding and accommodating to our needs and preferences, was so responsive to all our questions, and was very professional and reliable on the day of the wedding. He was super aware of the schedule and even suggested a timeline for the group photos that would work better for our reception (which I am so glad he did b/c I don't know what I was thinking when I was writing out the schedule). Justin worked with his son Andrew for our wedding day. You could tell that they work together a lot and know what they're doing. They shot every detail to really capture our special day.

    Justin is great at using lighting techniques to make your photos look beautiful and natural. We got our photos 5 weeks after our wedding; all 2000+ photos were retouched and sent in a memory chip. And he also created a webpage with highlights of the wedding day for us to share with our family members, which was so considerate of him. My husband and I couldn't have been happier with how our photos turned out. We highly recommend him for your special day :) You won't regret it.

    Awesome photos!

    We just received our photos from the wedding and we couldn’t be happier! They are beautiful! Justin and his son were very open to suggestions to ensure I got all the shots I wanted and then they also added their creative touches and the result was awesome wedding photos. Contacting and communicating with justin was super easy which helped calm the birdezilla in me! Seriously responds to emails either the same day or the next. We also received our pictures super quick after the wedding (about 5-6 weeks and there were around 3,000 pictures!). I would highly recommend Justin and his services to anyone!

    Wedding Photographer

    Where do I even start?! I am so glad we hired Justin as our wedding day photographer as he was very patient, professional and very flexible with our sudden requests. He also had his son as his backup photographer which was a bonus! When we received our photos they came out great to where I wished we hired him for our engagement session as well!!!

    Made my wedding a fairy tale

    Justin Captured every moment from our wedding so magically!

    Justin is an awesome photographer! I was referred to Justin from our venue and I'm so glad we chose him for our engagement and wedding photography! He's very professional and hard working person!

    He helped us the location for our engagement photo which was perfect and exactly how we wanted! His pictures are amazing and they are so beautiful! His son is also really good photographer too!! They capture the moment so well! We are not used to being in the center of attention but he made us feel so relaxed and natural! He's really good at making the atmosphere so calm and fun to take pictures!

    When we got our wedding photos we almost cried because Justin definitely captured every moment that was so magical and special!
    Definitely recommend Justin if you are looking for a hard working, professional, and awesome photographer!

We are very pleased with his work and recommend him to any wedding couple that is in need of a great affordable photographer! Thanks for your work Justin!

    Exemplary service and craftsmanship.

    Our experience with Justin and Andrew was such a remarkable one. Both were dedicated in their craft and second to none in their creativity. They are energetic and enthusiastic as well, often engaging the whole crowd. Justin and Andrew are a fantastic team. I very recommend x3.

    Artistic, personable, professional.

    Awesome experience!

    Justin Kim shot our wedding in December, 2018 as well as our engagement session. My husband and I couldn’t have been happier with how our photos turned out. Justin shoots with his son Andrew—they really are the dynamic duo! Creative, keen eyes and they shot every detail to really capture our special day. Justin is great with using lighting techniques to make your photos look beautiful without having to rely so heavily on over-editing/photoshopping/airbrushing so pictures look gorgeous but natural. We felt he really represented the real us and our happiness on the big Must use for So-Cal wedding photography—would highly recommend!

    couldn't be happier!

    I found Justin through The Vintage Rose. He is very easy to work with, responds quickly and has many ways you can pay, including Paypal which made it even easier to send payments. On my wedding day, he was with his assistant, who is also his son Andrew and both of them work very well together and even though it seems like they are taking pictures at the same time, each one is getting a different angle so you really end up with seeing everything. I was able to actually see all the moments from my wedding because of the pictures. He sent them on a drive through the mail and there was over 1,500 pictures! It was amazing and so worth the money, especially because he actually edits them all so you really are getting the best. I was more than happy with what I received and even more so with what I paid to get what I ended up with. I would definitely use him again if I needed a photographer at another time.

    Justin is amazing and delivered the best wedding photos I could ever imagine!

    From beginning to end, Justin was quick to respond and very easy going. He catered to my requests with no issues at all. My wedding was very laid back, and he adapted so well to a wedding like mine. I received around 2500 photos and loved every single one. His style is unique and unforgettable. He is very experienced and I’m in love with the photos. I STILL get comments about my wedding photos 4 months later. BOOK HIM NOW! You won’t regret it!

    Justin Kim and his assistant Andrew were PHENOMENAL! They are a dynamic duo and really take the time and energy to capture breath taking shots. My husband and I were amazed at the attention to detail and how responsive Justin is. He responds very quickly and is open to any ideas or visions you may have. I found an instagram photo he took of a couple at the same venue we had our wedding and simply commented, "wow, can we take a photo there as well?" Justin made sure we did and took so many great shots, it's hard to choose which our favorites were. We have been getting so many compliments on our wedding photos and people commented how hard working our photographer was during the whole event. Also, aside from his busy weekends capturing weddings, he sent us our photos within a month and even sent us a link so we can have a preview and show our friends and family. He played with some double exposure and the results were amazing! If you're looking for a reliable, highly-skilled, friendly & an enthusiastic photographer, I highly recommend Justin! He is so willing to go above and beyond and we are so thankful! Thank you Justin!
