I wish I can give a 10 star review! My boudoir photo shoot was amazing & more than I ever expected! Lori was incredible! Such talent in the way she instructed me to pose & do little changes in each pic. I never thought in my wildest dreams that my photos would come out the way they did! Every woman should experience this because it was so invigorating & liberating. She made me feel so comfortable & sexy! Thank u so much! I want to do it again! read more

After researching and emailing multiple boudoir photographers (there was even a spreadsheet involved), I selected Lori. I couldn't be more pleased with both the experience and results. Lori and her staff make the entire process super fun, and really let you flex your creative muscles (and, if you don't have any, they'll help out!). Before my photoshoot, I had two phone calls with Lori. The first to learn more about her, which made my decision very easy. She's been doing this for a long time, and her experience shows in her professionalism and work. The second phone call was to plan out the photoshoot "looks" with her. Knowing that my fiance and I are super into Game of Thrones, we brainstormed a bunch of ideas, and I drew from both my own closet and Etsy. I ended up adding a FOURTH look a few days prior, which she was happy to accommodate. After all that discussion, I felt very prepared going into my photoshoot. I *wasn't* prepared by how fun it would be. Lori did a fabulous job with the hair/makeup, and struck a great balance between directing me on posing and letting me do my own thing. Her staff was also fantastic, and even put on Game of Thrones music for the Game of Thrones looks. A few days later, I came back for my viewing session where Lori helped me pick out photos for what would become my album (there are a ton of choices at various price points). With Lori's guidance, you get to feel like some sort of fashion magazine editor. Very fun! I picked up my album today - AMAZING. I presented it to my fiance, and he LOVED it. Thank you Lori for making this special time even moreso! :) read more

Such a great experience here! I found this photographer studio on google and was willing to give it a try to put together a boudoir photo album for my soon to be hubby. First I was pretty little scared of taking lingerie/nude pictures but Lori made me feel SO comfortable and sexy with my body. Anybody who is looking to take boudoir pictures, set an appointment with Lori, you won't be disappointed! read more

Brystan Studios - My 2nd look for my bridal boudoir album for my hubby - Boudoir Photography Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

The amazing Lori Brystan and her Giant LA worthy studio and professional staff, is a mind blowing experience one rarely gets unless you are a member of the Hollywood set. How lucky was I to have Lori do my hair and makeup, and shoot my MODERN BEDROOM-BOUDOIR studio shots! I really could not believe how amazing they turned out. I booked 3 different looks. I think I can speak for all women. We would love beautiful pictures, portrayed in the "more beautiful" version of ourselves. In the age of iPhones and the "selfie" there is no way those photos could ever compare to this LOST ART! After the photo session I had the option to view my photos that day or schedule a separate viewing session and invite my husband which I did! Wow! He was shocked in a very good way. We had many options of books to choose from and he chose the best one. A large back book and the cover was my favorite photo in a gorgeous acrylic hard cover. We ordered prints as well as there were many headshots too that were appropriate for frames. I mean seriously, where and who could you ever go to and have a Professional luxury photo session, unless you were famous? The PRICES are affordable when you think in terms of how many times will you do this in your life. What do you spend your money on anyway? The prices for a book start at $1000 and go up from there. Well worth it. I had to spend a $1000 on my dog last week and that was for maintenance. We upgraded however. You have a fabulous book that's YOURS, for the rest of your life!! An investment in yourself. Turns out Lori started out in LA as a model back in the day. She's gorgeous, and decided to pick up the camera 30 years ago and make women beautiful! Just last week I booked a session for my Real Estate and design business, at one of my recently finished oceanfront property's on location in Laguna Beach. I did NOT want the typical pics but wanted something out of DWELL magazine featuring me as both Real Estate Agent and Designer. All I can say, the pictures of the organically white modern design and the way Lori posed me like a model but casually walking through the room, was so chic I couldn't believe it. Five STARS for this beauty OASIS in the middle of Orange County! read more

Brystan Studios - Photos by Lori Brystan! Love! - Boudoir Photography Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

I feel compelled to write a new comment on the services of Brystan I am grateful to Brystan for showing me the beauty of my body and soul. Lori was able to reach down into my soul and bring it out into the daylight. I had no idea I was that beautiful. I don't say it vainly. I mean the deep beauty that I was disconnect from for years because of mistakes I had committed. Lori with her lens dug it out and showed it to me. I am even timid to look at the pictures because I have a difficult time acknowledging my own beauty. Lori's photo shoot has done a wonder for me. It is therapeutic to see the glory of God in one's own image. Brystan Studios will find the hidden innocence and beauty in you, too, if you give them a chance. read more

See all

Everyone at this studio is professional and fun! They make you feel comfortable and sexy. I did a boudoir photo shoot and Lori does gorgeous work. She is artist and playful and makes you feel at ease and stunning! Definitely recommend for all your photography needs! read more

I absolutely recommend Lori! She made me feel so comfortable and the photos turned out amazing!!!

AH-MAZING!!! My girlfriends bought the groupon for me as a bridal shower gift. I've never done this before so I was a little nervous going into it. When I showed up, Jackie greeted me and immediately made me feel comfortable. She showed me the options and then did my hair and makeup. And this girl knows her stuff!!!! She chose outfits for me, made me look like a freakin supermodel - my makeup was probably the best I ever had. And she was fast! When it came to the shoot, she was so professional and knowledgeable. I don't know how to pose at all, but she got right there and showed me just what to do and how to do it. I can't be happier with how the photos turned out! I can't wait to show my fiancé on our wedding day. One note is that the cost of the prints is pretty pricey - more than I was expecting. But if you go into this with the mindset that it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, than it's worth it!!! Thank you Jackie and Lori!!!!! You guys are the bomb dot com. read more

EDIT: The majority of these 5 star reviews are fake. Look at some of the profiles and you will see them. Scroll to the bottom and look at the filtered reviews, and you will see what people truly think of this scam business. Lori is a con artist looking for a quick buck, and isn't shy about it either. I've been trying for a while to make an appointment for a photo shoot with them using a groupon I purchased. The groupon entitled me to an hour long photoshoot with hair and makeup, and I would get to keep one "look." I have made three appointments, and they have ended up canceling on me the past two times. So far they have already tried to cancel my appointment for a third time, but when I told them I couldn't keep taking off work for nothing, they said they would figure it out and call me back. About two-three weeks ago I had made an appointment in which I had to take off work. I waited to get a confirmation call from them, but didn't. So around 7:30 pm or so, I called to confirm my 10:00 photoshoot for the next day. I had left a voicemail, and a man (I think his name was Nick) soon called me back. He was extremely helpful, and explained to me that my photographer had left on vacation, and had apparently canceled my appointment without telling me. He was incredibly apologetic and told me he would give his boss a call. When he called me back he said that she wanted to reschedule. Again. This is ridiculous. I am so shocked that this company finds it okay to treat customers like this. I am amazed that, because I am not a "full paying" customer but a Groupon customer, I am treated with such rudeness and disrespect. I doubt the authenticity of the previous reviews for this business as well, as everyone I had spoken to (with the exception of the men aforementioned) were not as nice or accommodating as they should be. I felt that their attitudes were not sincere, and that they were just trying to "deal with me." DO NOT deal with these people. There are plenty of other photographers in Orange County that are not as expensive and not nearly as flaky. read more

I did a Boudoir photo shoot with Lori and got a good deal on Groupon--$99 for a Boudoir Photo Session, One 8x10, and hair and makeup. I opted to go for the extra white sheet "look" and that ended up costing me an extra $175 (it was supposed to be $100 since I asked for it when I made my appointment, but it wasn't noted). It was hard to schedule and appointment since it was a Groupon; thus, her calendar filled up really quickily and she has odd studio hours. But I finally got an appointment. I show up and Lori did my hair and make up. She did a wonderful job and I looked great. The photo session was cool, and posing for a photo is a lot harder than it looks. I was definitely breaking out in a sweat holding some of those poses. I felt completely comfortable with Lori and was laughing the whole time. She helped me choose an outfit and she has some accessories if I wanted to borrow them. Then I had to make another appointment to view my pictures which ended up being another few weeks. Went in with my boyfriend and we sat in their very nice viewing room as it did a slideshow of the pictures. Here's the hard part: choosing the pictures. The coupon comes with only ONE 8x10 and many of them looked really good. I had a hard time choosing. In addition, if you want to buy extra prints, they are VERY expensive. $100 for another 8x10 or two 5x7. I'm sure this is standard pricing in the industry, but I definitely wasn't expecting to shell out as much as I did for this Groupon. From talking to friends, there are many places that do good Boudoir photography work with packages that cost similar to what I ended up paying, but you get more bang for the buck. Oh well. Bottom Line: Am I glad I did it? Yes. Do the pictures look amazing? Yes. Does Lori do a great job? Yes. read more

So I decided to do something different for my husband's birthday. And doing this Boudoir Photo shoot is something I normally wouldn't do but doing this photo shoot honestly a Awesome experience , I enjoyed it very much . As soon as I walked in I felt such a good vibe with the welcoming staff that my confidence just skyrocketed . As soon as I meet my photographer Jacqueline she gave me such a welcome that it honestly help me have the confidence to do this . Being a plus size woman (24) and being able to do a photoshoot like this is the best feeling in the World . Lori Brystan is such an awesome person it felt like if I knew her for years it was a pleasure to meet her and her daughter. After returning to preview the slide show with my husband seeing the reaction on his face and literally taking a double take and seeing me on the screen was So memorable . You can't put a price on memories that He now has of me to last a lifetime. I am very very happy with my photos and plan on returning Thank you so much for the experience and memories Lori and Jacqueline xoxo's read more

I am very glad that I was able to have my photos done at Brystan Studios. Lori did a great job of flattering by body, as I've been a bit uncomfortable in my own skin the past few months. I'll call it my "winter weight." When I returned a week later for the photo viewing with my fiance I was nervous to see the end results. To my surprise, the pictures were untouched and looked really great. It was hard picking just one 8x10 (included in the groupon I had purchased) so I picked one as well as 2 5x7's for an additional cost. The photos I picked are now retouched and look even better but still very natural! I am so impressed and love them! I can't wait to wrap them and give them to my fiance for X-mas. Also, I have to mention that the viewing appointment was great. You are in your own room with a comfortable couch and projector screen. You are left alone to view your slideshow and then assisted in narrowing down the ones you do and do not like. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is that I was disappointed it was kind of pricey to buy the extra photos. I would have loved to have purchased more than three photos but just couldn't afford to do so. read more

I wanted to do a Boudoir photo shoot for my husband as a wedding gift so I made an appointment to shoot with Lori. I was a bit nervous but Lori made me feel so comfortable. I'm extremely picky about my makeup and hair (I use to be a makeup artist) but I wanted to relax and enjoy the process so I had Lori do it. She did a phenomenal job and we had so much fun talking and getting to know each other while she made me beautiful and I sipped on champagne. The whole experience was amazing and the pictures turned out great. It's something I think every woman should do even if it's just for herself. read more

I just wanted to say I had a Groupon for Brystan Studios and I went in a little skeptical (you know how Groupon businesses can be, hit or miss...) but I wanted to do a very specific boudoir shoot for my husband so I went ahead and gave it a shot. OMG!!! First off, the staff is so welcoming and professional. I'm SUPER self conscious about my body and doing a boudoir shoot was SO out of my element, but Lori made me feel so at ease, comfortable and I actually started having fun! I've never felt more beautiful!! I usually hate every picture taken of me, but out of the 50+ photos Lori took, I could barely narrow down ANY I didn't like. I can't WAIT to see my album and I'll definitely be coming back for more portrait sessions in the future! :) read more

I'm here with Lori getting my daughter's senior portraits done. These photos are amazing and they are capturing a memory of our little girl right before she goes off to college. What parent wouldn't want this memory?? Lori has been doing our pictures for years. She's the best stylist and most artistic photographer ever! It's the whole package rolled into one genius studio! read more

Brystan Studios - Senior portraits capturing a memory of our little girl right before she goes off to college. - Boudoir Photography Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

I am blown away with how beautiful my photographs are! You made my Rejoy Living candles look stunning and I can't wait to use them for marketing and my branding! Not only are my product shots gorgeous but my head shots are BEYOND! You have such a gift for knowing how to make us women look our absolute best. Thank you a million times over for creating beautiful images for my marketing and branding! You are simply the best! read more

Better than expected! I bought a Living Social voucher and then only afterwards did I start reading reviews on yelp. I was a little scared by the other reviews of photographer flaking and being really expensive/out of reach. Jackie did my shoot. She was very professional and gave me very good editorial feel photographs in a short 30 minute one look shoot. There were really a lot of great pictures from the shoot, so I ended up spending more money here than I had planned. They started offering package with digital files, so that was what I got. The portraits in their studio look great though. One downside is they offer less editing/retouching for free than other studios, but I think the quality of the photographs make up for it. read more

Lori is a true professional and her work is amazing. She has an eye for capturing the beauty in everyone. I love photography and she is the best! read more

I have personally known Lori for very long time and am a long-term client of hers. She is extremely professional and has an amazing artistic eye. I also want to point out that her team is equally professional. Lori has a great ability to make her clients feel comfortable at every shoot. I would highly recommend Lori to all my friends, family and collogues. The products offered by Lori are made of the best quality, I have never not been satisfied. Thank you for helping make memories Lori, kudos to you and your success. It's truly earned and deserved. I look forward too many more shoots and doing much more business with you in the future. read more

Being a photographer myself, I have known Lori at Brystan Studios for many years and have even worked with Lori. Lori is an amazing photographer, has an incredible eye, the best equipment, a very professional and classy studio and is great with hair and womens make-up. Lori is the only photographer that captures my family photos. Every year at Christmas, the amount of compliments that my wife and I receive on our cards is incredible. My wife loves the way that Lori does her make-up and hair and always receives compliments. As a photographer I am always amazed at how quick Lori works and the amount of great images that she is able to capture. Her work is natural and rarely appears posed. I will continue to recommend and use Brystan Studios myself. read more

I had booked this photo shoot as a gift to myself for my birthday. They were able to schedule me on my b day at 1pm and the lady who I scheduled with was super friendly and made me very excited to do the shoot. I got a confirmation call 2 days before the shoot and the day before got a call from a guy saying they booked an event and are calling to cancel! First of all when you have a client you don't book over them or find someone else to fill in for you, you should never cancel. Very unprofessional and not reliable. read more

I found this place via a Living Social deal. I had decided to get my husband a few pictures for a wedding present. i upgraded to a second look, and ended up ordering a coffee table book for him. After my experience here, I felt like a movie star! Every woman needs to feel that way at least once in their life! Jackie did my shoot, and she totally put me at ease. She did an amazing job with my hair and make up also! Sure, I felt a little awkward in some of the poses, but the photos... WOW! I never knew I could look so good. I reviewed the photos with Nicole. She was also just amazing! She did everything in her power to make my experience exceptional. Now, one thing to keep in mind, this is a high end photo studio. Don't walk in here expecting to pay J.C. Penny prices for your pictures! Yes, they are expensive, but the product you receive makes it all worth it. read more

Lori is absolutely amazing capturing the inner beauty of every photo shoot she does. I just had a family photo shoot with 2 special circumstances, 1. My husband isn't fond of photos & absolutely cringes at the thought of a photo shoot with him in it. However... Lori made it so fun, relaxing and simple for my hubby he now wants one of our family done yearly! Couldn't believe my ears when my husband said & I quote, " That was so much fun & I want to do it again!" What a breath of fresh air for me, I love doing photo shoots with our daughter and to know my hubby wants to be included as well is just music to my ears!! Thank you! 2. Our beloved Doberman Pincher dog of 11 Years was just diagnosed with cardiomyopathy a severe heart condition, only 25% of his heart is properly working. Knowing we have limited time with our most beloved family member we wanted to include our dog in the photos with us to encompass our family as a whole. The amazing part of this all was that @Lori Brystan completely understood what we needed and was wonderful at capturing the importance of these heart warming moments. Her insight on the vision I wanted to capture for my family was beyond effortless. With our Warmest Regards, Thank you! read more

I can't begin to tell you how amazing my experience was at Brystan Studios. I had a classic beauty shoot done by Lori, the owner and I have never been more comfortable. Her kindness and vulnerability made me feel like I had known her forever. This showed in my shoot and the fact that I was so comfortable, made my photos look so amazing. She makes you feel like you are her best friend and she makes you feel beautiful! I am so happy with the amazing wall portrait I purchased and so well worth it. I can't wait to schedule my family portrait in August! read more

I used the groupon deal at this Studio. Lori was fantastic and takes great photos. However my three friends and I (all on individual days) had the same horrible experience with the receptionists. They are rude, short and very pushy. In the end, my husband was so annoyed with the way we were treated that we did not purchase any pictures. We even tried asking if we could think about it and place the order in a day or so, basically to try and give them a 2nd chance. We were told "now or never" so after the great experience with Lori, and loving the photos.... we did not purchase a single one. read more

I should have read all the negative reviews. while photos were good, the up sell and attitude is horrible! 32 filtered reviews, that's a red flag. i think alot of these positive review are actually fake read more

I had wonderful pictures taken from Lori. I took them about a year ago but still love them. The reason I'm putting 4 out of 5 is the price. It is expensive!! I was also told I couldn't order pictures or canvas in the future because they don't keep the files. Because they have strict copyrights, they also do not provide digital images of the pictures you pick. Still very wonderful pictures were taken. read more

After leaving a message of enquiry I received a call back from Lori with an answer to a question about her groupon deal. First came the upsell for her services instead of just one of her regular photographers. I told her that I loved the look of her work but her fee was a little pricey for me. She then proceeded to tell me that I would fall in love with the photos and will have to spend over $500. I told her that I was just interested in the deal that her groupon offered and she proceeded to tell me that all businesses on groupon upsell to this degree and implied that it would be a waste of her time and that she was a high end studio etc etc. Felt VERY disrespected and after reading the reviews on her yelp and her responses to them I'm so glad that I never wasted my time and money. read more

I have had an unbelievable experience at Brystan Studios. I saw their ad in Riviera Magazine and knew this was the very personal gift I wanted for my husband-to-be as a wedding gift. To say Lori is brilliant behind the camera would be a horrible understatement of her talents. I went in the day of my shoot completely open to her thoughts and suggestions. She did my hair and makeup without any input from me. She also made all of the suggestions for attire (ahem, or lack of) and props. She must have shot five or six hundred photos over half the day and half a bottle of wine (me not her). On the day of my photo review I was greeted by her front office gal, Nicole who showed me into this really cool room set up with a leopard couch and large flatscreen TV. As she dimmed the lights this really soulful soundtrack of music played and a slideshow of about 100 of Lori's best shots came across the screen. I was completely blown away that these photos were of me (and hadn't even been photoshopped yet). Her work was exquisite...really breath-taking from the lighting, positions, hair and make-up. And to think I was nervous about seeing them with the thought, "what if I don't like any of them?" The problem was just the opposite. How do I narrow it down? So Nicole and I started going through the shots one-by-one and she was so wonderful, patient and helpful with her thoughts when asked. After about an hour, I asked her if I could see all of the shots (over 500). It was late in the day but she said, "of course you can" and left the room while I went through the entire slideshow where I found about a half dozen photos I also wanted to add to my album. To finish the review I wanted to address some of the other reviews about price. I don't have a benchmark as to whether Brystan is expensive or not. I've never done this type of photoshoot in the past. I can say however that this is project and a process that included many hours. To me it was an investment and a priceless gift for somebody I love enormously. There is nobody else I think could have captured on film all of the different sides of me so beautifully. I couldn't be any happier with the result and look forward to our family holiday photos going forward. read more

Had a groupon for a white sheet photo shoot; went down and what a great studio! I felt extremely comfortable with Lori and she did my makeup and hair. I loved the actual shoot-painless, quick and the pictures are all artwork! I went back for my viewing and Stephanie was wonderful. So kind and helpful and wasn't afraid to give her opinion when I asked which ones she liked. The WHOLE experience was amazing and I would do it again in a heartbeat! The pictures came out UNREAL! That's all I can say! You PAY for what you get in life and let me say the price you pay for these shots, is nothing when you see the reward in the work she does! :) read more

I bought a package for the photoshoot through Groupon. I have never had a boudoir photography in the past, and it is not like I could not pay full price for the session and photo, but the Groupon gave me an incentive to give it a shot. I can't believe how stuck up Lori and Tina were. Tina sounded so nice on the phone that I thought it would be a fun photo session. Boy was I wrong. When I walked in the studio, the first thing Lori did was give me the stare down and focused on the Crocks I had on. (ok, ok, crocks are not fasionable at all, but I was rushing out of the house, and it's a Saturday and I wanted to be comfortable). But she sure did make me feel as though I was below her and not the type of clientel she normally service. I am very successful and have a six figure income, but Lori was judging a book from its cover. Tina pretends to be nice but it's a fake nice. The reason I am given them a one star is because they did a great job with the retouching and the photos did come out decent. Lori does know her lighting well and used it talently for the shoot. read more

Lori has a studio made to make you feel like a movie star. So the moment I arrived a handsome gentleman offered me my choice of champagne, sangria, or water. I choose sangria which was delicious and completely relaxed me. As I walked back to the dressing room songs played that got me feeling my groove. Then I entered the dressing room and my jaw almost dropped in a happy state of shock. Racks of gorgeous wardrobe, feather fans, racks of gorgeous high heels, jewelry, a full makeup and hair station, giant mirrors, and I wished I could play in there forever. Lori dolled me up and I wore my favorite lingerie. As a plus size woman this felt so comfortable and she complimented me. I felt like I looked beautiful in my sheer and lacy outfit without any body judgement. She was professional and kind. Working with a female photographer with her skills was a treat. She kept making sure the light painted my curves like old hollywood photos did. She made sure I posed to compliment my curves. I can't say enough how epic it was to shoot with Lori, it's the ultimate self-esteem boost and pampering a girl can get. I'll share my photos too so you can see her talent. read more

Amazing amazing amazing... Every part of this experience was incredible! The entire staff is wonderful to work with, very friendly and they truly care about your entire experience. Hair and makeup was awesome, the sets are great, the viewing of photos is so much fun. Originally bought on groupon as a gift to my fiancé (for the wedding). However, I ended up purchasing more because HOW COULD YOU NOT?! I was so nervous at first, but everyone is so calm and professional and they give you wine too which helps! They made me look and feel so wonderful, I was able to see myself in a way I normally wouldn't. Totally recommend all woman do this at least once in their lives! All in all I am VERY pleased and hope to come back for pregnancy photos when that day comes ;) thank you for the great service and making me feel so beautiful! This truly was a memorable event! read more

So my experience with the photo shoot was amazing. I had Dianne and she did a perfect job on my hair and makeup. She was also a great photographer. All my pictures turned out perfect. There is a huge downside there is no option to get a digital copy of all the images prints just if you purchase the book and then the digital pictures are included. The viewing is way to fast and you pretty much have to decide everything then. I felt rushed and the cost of the pictures is a lot. I am not rich so find it too pricey to come back here. I would love to but can't afford it. You can buy singles of your images but those still start at $150 and the cheapest book is around $1000. The owner knows what she is doing by she is also all business. I wish they had something a little cheaper to offer people that can't afford the $1000 book. I am torn by this place because of the price point but loved my photos. I wish I could have had all of them but that would have been very expensive. I tried to go to a second viewing but then they charge you so you really need to decide everything super fast on the first viewing. But if you are rich this is the place to go. read more

What an incredible experience! I bought Living Social Deal for one a one hour shoot with a print and hair and makeup, and as motivation to loose weight and get back on track with workouts- and what a reward!! My photographer - Amy- was wonderful. I was nervous at first since this was the first time I'd ever done something of this nature- but she made me feel immediately comfortable. I came back the next day and met with Nicole to go through all of my shots and pick out my favorite. I was so impressed with how they had come out I purchased a package of 12 re-touched ones (very reasonably priced). In one of the photos I didn't even recognize myself. I really have never thought of myself as beautiful until this experience. A huge thank you to the ladies of Brystan Studios for an incredible day and experience. I feel really bad for the other reviewers who said they had negative experiences with the receptionists. They kept me updated on when my prints and disc would be ready, and were always very nice, both on the phone and in person. read more

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I am currently anticipating a proposal from my boyfriend. After ring shopping, I'm absolutely looking forward to having a gorgeous ring on my finger for the rest of my days. But the idea of which got me thinking that it would be nice to give a gift back to him. One which he can equally admire as I will admire my ring. One that is also beautiful and tangible that he can keep forever. The perfect gift that came to mind was me. I wanted to give him the captured images and memories of myself as I am at this moment, this year. Captured as a young, beautiful, and fully in love woman. I have never done a boudoir shoot before but I've been interested in the idea. Now with the excitement of an engagement in my near future, I figured this must be the time. When I came across Brystan Studios, I knew this would have to be the place to go. The studio only uses female photographers which was very comforting!! After arriving though, my expectations were not just met but exceeded far beyond. My hair and make up were done wonderfully by my photographer, Amy. During which, I was able to sip on a glass of wine to calm my nerves. Throughout the process of the actual shoot, Amy walked me through many poses. She made the process seem entirely effortless. It was such a breeze and also a really fun experience at the same time. I couldn't be happier with the results either. This studio did such a fantastic job from start to finish and I absolutely recommend them! read more

Professional staff with amazing results! Lori and Tina are in a class by themselves.

I've been truly lucky to work with photographers across the United States but Lori brings to you a quality that you can't find any where else. If you can buget away at least 1K you'll get to walk away with what you'd like in photos. If not, don't worry. There's smaller options. I wasn't ready for the Amazing work that Lori brought to the Table so I missed out on getting all the prints I would have liked. "She's that Good!" So please make sure to come in ready to Shop your heart away! Make Up and Hair was like a quality I haven't been able to find outside of the Entertainment Industry. Perfect, Timeless and by every stretch of the word AMAZING! Get ready to have the time of your Life. Follow Lori's Lead, Hold Your Pose and Prepare to have pictures of a Life Time. You're worth the Price, You're worth the Experiance! Don't hesitate to step through these doors! read more

I had a beautiful photo album made for my new husband as a wedding gift with the help of Lori's wonderful photography. He flipped when he saw it and was so impressed with the photographs that he was bragging to all of his friends. He said that the photographer really caught what he sees in me. One photo shoot was at the train station at San Juan Capistrano since my husband is a railroad engineer. They were absolutely beautiful and made me look so good! Thank you Lori and Nicole for the beautiful job. I would totally recommend Brystan Studios and I know that I will use them again in the future. read more

The best photography studio in OC! Lori & her associates are so talented. I've personally done a newborn photo shoot and a boudoir photo shoot and loved my photos. Most recently I took my 5 year old daughter for a photo shoot. She had the best time with Lori & the pictures came out AMAZING!! read more
