    Had my third photoshoot with Dave Yip Photography. I love them so much. They are amazingly skilled, passionate and enthusiastic. They really care about their work and how their clients photos turn out. My plan is to do all my photoshoots with them

    We've used Dave Yip photography before and we have loved them!! Pictures look absolutely fantastic and they are so nice!! We booked a cake smash session for our son and they were so friendly and patient with him!! Parker loved his cake!! Family photo shoot was $400 1hr and 15 retouched photos they even spent extra time with us! $35 for the cake or you can take your own. Thank you Florence and Dave!! We can't wait to see the final product!! They have lots of background options! Definitely recommend them!!

    Baby girl enjoyed her first birthday photoshoot! Dave and Florence were so friendly and fun to work with. We did the cake smash session and family photoshoot in their studio. They have a lot of cute backgrounds to choose from and lots of toys to get my daughter's attention. They were so patient with her and they made us feel comfortable throughout the photoshoot. We can't wait to see the final photos!

    I found Dave Yip Photography via Yelp and Google search, seeking a family session but with some graduation portraits. I called them to get some initial info and Florence and I kept in touch via text to finalize the booking. They were very accommodating with my requests and adapting the session to what my family was looking for. My family had an AMAZING experience at the session - Florence set up the beautiful props and helped with the posing and fixing my hair/grad sash. Dave was very funny, friendly to work with, and very knowledgeable about how to pose. Both my grandparents were 80+ years old and Dave/Florence was very patient and helped us find the best positions. The photos themselves turned out great too (see pics). For an 1 hr outdoor session we got 100+ photos with 12 that are further enhanced/closely edited. Definitely recommend them!!!

    If you have a church wedding, and want someone familiar with that style, Dave is great!

    I am really excited about writing this review! Sebastian's a tremendously talented photographer. I…read moreactually stumbled upon his site rather randomly when I was Google searching the keywords "Laguna Beach weddings" one day. His photo blog was the first one out of oh, 57 albums I had seen that day, that literally made my jaw drop and eyes go wide with awe. Stunning prints. Images that are epic, and yet intimate at the same time. I was really wowed with the technical and artistic elements of his photos. His style is to blow up the beauty of your wedding in full detail and not hide it behind an instagram-like filter. That boldness results in truly extraordinary shots. The lighting in our venue (a local art gallery) was really tough (I know because a lot of our friends' point-and-shoot cameras came out with ghostly white eyeballs and blurry faces. But Sebastian was able to leverage his knowledge of the camera effectively (and quickly!) to capture the key moments of our day before that moment could disappear. I know budgeting for vendors can be tough but if there's any way to move money around so that you can hire this guy for your wedding, I truly believe it's worth it, you'll definitely be gazing at the photos for a long time after!

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.

    An unforgettable experience captured perfectly -- thank you, James!…read more I had the honor of graduating from both LACC and UCLA Extension, and I'm so grateful that James was there to capture every important moment. From our first communication, he was extremely professional, flexible, and kind, always making sure he understood what I wanted and adapting to each location, timeline, and change with ease. He photographed both ceremonies with incredible attention to detail -- from candid moments of me with my husband, family, and friends, to emotional highlights like walking across the stage, and even the quiet, heartfelt moments in between. His eye for storytelling brought every part of the day to life. James made everyone feel comfortable, and his warm presence truly added to the celebration. He treated both graduations with care and dedication, and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to help preserve these milestones. If you're looking for someone reliable, talented, and genuinely passionate about their work -- James is the one. Thank you again for capturing these beautiful memories that my loved ones and I will treasure forever!

    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

    I went here to take my passport photo and had a really good experience. The owner was so kind and…read moremade me feel comfortable right away, which I really appreciated.
