Approximately 10 years ago, I recommended my Mom to come through here to get her passport pictures…read moretaken. I remember her talking so fondly about the owner, Gary, and how interactive he was with her and her husband. And yes, her passport pictures came out great. Since her passport is due for a renewal, it was time for a comeback. We met Omar who is now running the joint. He was very apologetic about the "mess" (which wasn't THAT much of a mess) as he is still trying to reorganize now that he's in charge. He reported that Gary passed away a few weeks ago (I was bummed because I would have liked to have met him!) Omar spoke affectionately about Gary and what a wonderful mentor he was. After a bit of chitty-chatty, pictures were taken. I got the chance to look around and saw Gary's achievements - from meeting Maxine Waters to doing Tom Bradley's portrait. He seemed like a cool cat. Omar wasn't satisfied with the first printout of the pictures (afraid the passport agency may not accept it) so he fixed it a little bit and voila! We were outta there in no time. TIP: call to make an appointment. Just in case. They're not restricted to passport photos. They provide a wide array for services: family portraits, graduation pictures, etc... Highly recommending.

I've taken my 21-year-old, my 19-year-old, and now my 17-year-old here for their senior pictures, and each experience has been wonderful.

Their prices are reasonable, and I really appreciate how flexible and accommodating they are. I highly recommend this place and will continue coming back for future milestones!

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.

For the newborn photoshoot, we spent the full four hours in Angela's studio, which allowed me, a first time mom, to really enjoy the process. Angela took great care of us every step of the way, from making sure the baby is comfortable during the naked baby pictures, to making sure mom and dad look ready and stress-free for the family pictures. I'm extremely happy with how the pictures turned out and the grandparents are so in love with all the pictures. If you're on the fence about doing a newborn photoshoot, please do it and go with Angela!

My…read morehusband and I got married at Neighborhood Church and celebrated our reception at Blue Water Grill. Jonathan and Olivia captured beautiful memories of our special day for us. From the start, they were incredibly detail-oriented. They made sure every shot, angle, and lighting choice was just right. They gave us wonderful guidance throughout the day, helping us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Beyond their photography talent, they were both so pleasant, professional and genuinely fun to be around. They made the entire photography experience even more enjoyable. The photos turned out absolutely stunning and truly reflect the joy and emotion of our day. Joey Ikemoto Photography is a South Bay classic for a reason; they continue to deliver amazing work and timeless memories. We couldn't recommend them more.

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!

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 were initially interested in his services upon stumbling across his Instagram and website. From the moment we contacted him, we knew he would be our chill and talented photographer. Everything was transparent and not complicated, which was so important to us. We met him during our engagement shoot (a part of the package we booked) and immediately felt at ease with him. Those photographs are some of our favorites! Come wedding day, he was super professional, kind, and detailed with the variety of creative shots he took. He also had to deal with some difficult and commanding family members, and worked through it gracefully. Throughout the night, we didn't notice him at all taking thoughtful pictures because he does it so ninja-like. The turnaround with receiving our photographs was speedy as well. We are in love with all the photographs, from couple pictures to family ones and ceremony and reception. Even the photographs of the decor and plants (he and I share that passion) are stunning. The photographs capture the fun spirit of our wedding with such rawness and personality. We love his style, both in taking the pictures and how they turned out. Thank you for a lifetime of memories!
