He was on time, took a lot of pictures for us to choose from, was polite, friendly and took charge when he needed to (i.e. asking relatives to move when they were in his way). We received all the photos through an easy online link within 3 weeks of the event. We received multiple positive comments/remarks from our family and friends about the quality of his work. On top of all of these positives, his rates are very reasonable. I would definitely use JPapa again for our photography needs!

They are both very accommodating and easy going :)

From the very beginning, they were fantastic communicators, helping me with everything from choosing the location to discussing the overall style of the shoot. On the day of the session, they were warm, funny, and made everyone feel completely at ease. They were the perfect team to capture our family's memories. It was especially helpful that they spoke both Cantonese and Mandarin, which made communicating with my parents-in-law so much easier. Even more impressively, they somehow managed to get my cranky 9-month-old engaged and smiling throughout the session! And of course, the photos were absolutely stunning. The perfect finishing touch to an already wonderful experience. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and will definitely be booking Dave and Florence again. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented photographers who truly know how to make the experience enjoyable for the whole family.

I had an outstanding experience with Dave Yip Photography. Dave and his team (his wife) are…read moreincredibly professional, talented, and genuinely committed to capturing the best possible images. From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable. Dave has a great eye for lighting, composition, and detail, but what impressed me most was his ability to make the session feel natural and relaxed. He takes the time to understand what you are looking for and provides excellent direction without making the process feel overly staged. The quality of the final photographs exceeded my expectations. They were polished, professional, natural, and beautifully captured. If you are looking for a photographer who combines technical expertise, creativity, professionalism, and exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Dave Yip Photography. A truly first class experience from beginning to end. Five stars!

Truth be told....I write this with a bit of a tear in my eye....not to get too melodramatic over a…read moreyelp review....but pictures...when done perfect and if your in a particular sentimental mood....can have that effect. Some backstory...Imagix/Michelle has done our yearly photos for our son from ages 1 to now 5. (See my past reviews). From somehow capturing a perfect moment from our perpetually moving blur of a son (ages 1-3) to patiently instructing four 70/80 year olds on how to hold their aforementioned 4 year old Tasmanian Devil grandson last year, Michelle is a magician/artist...I always leave the photoshoot stressed from the chaos Hurricane Daniel (our son) leaves in his wake....But every year we come back to look at the proofs and are amazed at Michelle ability to capture "lighting in a bottle" . This year was no different. Fortunately we survived the terrible 2's (...3's....4's....) and thanks to time, maturity, and the opposite of gentle parenting, our little Daniel, though far from perfect, is manageable. But we didn't want to make it too easy for Michelle, so we threw in another variable. After a recent canine cancer scare, and recently learning from Google that all dogs, however loyal and cute, unfortunately have an inescapable life, span, I somehow convinced my beautiful but camera shy wife that this is the year we do a family photo with our dog. Some more backstory, if you read this far, our Yorkie, Libby, loves us but HATES the rest of the world. She spent the entire hour photoshoot in perpetual scowl and Volume 11 non stop bark. One week later as she always does, lighting in a bottle perfection. I looked at the proofs with amazement. Our son, we expected....she's done it every year, but how she made a loud perpetual yapping bark into a impossibly cute smile is above my skill set. But I think her greatest feat is how she lessened the "he must be rich" looks gap between my wife and I. My wife is easy, even me with my amateur Android skills, it's hard for her to take a bad picture. Michelle mastery came with how she elevated me to "he must be funny" looks gap level. So why the tear? We loved one of the pics so much we purchased a large framed canvas print to hang on our living room wall. My 85 year old happened to be in town for his grandsons 5th bday so I asked him for an helping hand hanging the picture. I figured he has these family portrait hanging at my childhood home. My brother and I with our full head of hair and my mom shoulder pads captured the 90's to a tee...but what I always remember is the "proud" look my dad had on his face. A look of accomplishment shouting "look at me world and all that I love and created". Watching my aging dad struggle, listing to my aging dog bark in a locked room to protect my dad's ankles, I was suddenly reminded that time, as much as you want to hit pause, always moves forward. It's a good idea to stop and smell the roses, or in this case, look at the snapshot/memories/moments and take it all in. After my dad handed me the leveler and I put away the hammer, and I looked up....and yeah....I had that "Dad" look

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.

Their prices are also reasonable and fair and you can find them posted on their website (unlike many photographers who are elusive and just don't publish their prices which can be annoying).

My husband and I had a couples glam photoshoot done with Rex and Pete at their studio in Huntington…read moreBeach and I loved how the photos turned out. We hadn't done a professional photoshoot before and were hella awkward, but Rex and Pete had us laughing and feeling more comfortable in no time. Since it was a glam photoshoot and in black and white, the pictures made us seem more youthful. It softened wrinkles and I didn't notice the raging pimple that I had covered up with some concealer. I googled what to wear beforehand for a black and white photoshoot and it's best to wear monochromatic colors. We wore white tops and the end result was simple and clean. Since we both wore glasses, Rex had us take off our glasses for some of the photos so that we got pics with and without glasses because we look different with them on and off.

"Boo!" That's what I hear in my head all night after our photo shoot with Rex…read more No, he doesn't say cheese to the kids. He says "Boo", and I guess they love that more! Rex does relate pretty well to kids since he has 2 of his own. I know this because I do know him on a personal and a professional level. The shoot started around 4:30pm at Heritage Park here in Cerritos. Rex knows the kids will need to take time to warm up to him so he let's them play for the first 30 minutes. The kids will always be taking breaks here and there so when he finds the opportunity, he will whip out his 5D and shoot multiple times. Unfortunately for us, it was just a really hot day on the day of the shoot. It was the last warm day I can remember , inching to around 100 degrees. So at first, some of the shots when I got them back, I can see the sweat on my daughter's face. That's how clear his pictures were! So those pretty much can go into the recycle bin. But of course, there were some awesome shots and I believe he also photoshopped a few that I like because I can tell it wasn't natural lighting. I too, am a avid photographer so I know about composition, lighting, focus, etc. I didn't have any pictures in mind, just a generic shot. I think that was the only drawback for our shoot. So if you know what you want, or a style you want, you will need to convey that to Rex in advance. I was just needing a few shots for our annual Christmas cards and I think I found a few that I will be uploading to Costco.com's website soon. I found a few funny ones, including this one http://s3-media2.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/b0OXmqMTArNXhRjVmAmsGQ/l.jpg Btw, Rex' humor can be a little raw and strange. I've known him for a few years so I think it takes that long to actually "get it'. But professionally, he's good at what he does. I'm a little picky about my pictures , so I would say Rex is a 4.5. Since he got the pictures I like to me within 24 hours, I rounded him up to a 5. I would recommend him for future kids photo shoots.
