What's the perfect gift for a man turning 50 who has everything he could need or want? Boudoir pics, of course! I found Andrea here on yelp, and with all of the excellent reviews, I decided to give her a try. The entire experience was amazing, start to finish. She arrived at our house exactly on time, helped me pick out which outfits would work, and was very creative with the use of our space. We took pictures both indoors and outdoors. I'm sure many women are a bit nervous going into this like I was, but Andrea did a great job of making me feel at ease and confident. I had a blast! The best thing of all was that Andrea was under a bit of a time pressure because we did our shoot slightly less than two weeks before the big event. She quotes 2-3 weeks turnaround, but she worked hard and had the finished product in my hands on time. I really appreciated her desire to accommodate me. End result? A very happy birthday boy. He loved the book she created and the fact that we have the disk and he can pick out his favorites to print ourselves. Thanks Andrea! :) read more

DeJohn Photography - At Huntington Beach under the pier. Photographed by Mark DeJohn of DeJohn Photography - Event Photography Near Me

"OMG is that really me? Damn I am hot" That is what you will say once you have seen Andreas work. Everyone is a little self conscious of the way they look, but I can say that taking the BOUDOIR pictures actually will make your head a little bigger. You see yourself everyday as the "average" you. But with a little makeup, a cute outfit and a great photographer you go from average to "OMG is that really me?" Here is how my shoot went: The morning of the shoot I had my makeup done at MAC.... it was my treat to myself. Then I headed over to the hotel and met Andrea. I brought a couple pairs of shoes, a cute outfit and my husbands gi. He is an MMA fighter and I wanted to add a special touch so I wore his gi and a really pretty lace bra. Andrea was very sweet, she understood the issues that I have. I am sure she heard me tell her 500 times "don't get my fat side" We took pics using all the props of the room and her own special touches as well. She showed me the pics as we were going along it helped ease my stress and it allowed me to loosen up a little. The shoot ended and that evening she sent me some preview pics....wow was I surprised, I looked HOT The most honest thing I can say about a Boudoir shoot is " don't just do it for your hubby, boyfriend, lover etc... do it for YOU. The shoot will allow you to see yourself totally different way" XOXO -C read more

I heard about DeJohn Photography after reading in the local paper that they were named "Best of the South Bay - Best Photographer 2010" and thought I would check them out for my up coming wedding in 2010. When I met Mark & Andrea DeJohn I knew right away that they are the dynamic duo of photography! They took the time to understand the shots I wanted, took the time to know what (and who) was important to us and captured intimate and priceless moments of our wedding. They are very professional, yet so warm and friendly you feel like they've known you for years. Their prices are totally reasonable and their work is totally incredible! They got us our wedding photos edited and presented in a CD for review without haste. We've since taken advantage of their holiday specials for Christmas photos! We've referred friends and family and they have all agreed that Mark and Andrea are "wonderful"! I just wish we took our engagement photos with them! But they did start shooting boudoir shots, that I think I will have to do for my anniversary! From wedding, family to boudoir... DeJohn Photography is most trusted for my family photos! read more

It was a beautiful Southern California, December morning. The Manhattan Beach strand was teaming with locals and tourists. Driving in from the San Fernando Valley our family could be grouped somewhere in the middle. Instead of wearing their swim suits our kids had on their holiday best. This day they were going to have a special photo shoot with the man himself. They'd been talking about it all week leading up to our meeting. We walked from the parking lot a very short distance to the sand. The kids were yelling as they 1st got a glimpse of the man in the big Red Suit. There he was, much taller than I imagined, and the beard of his chin WAS as white as the snow. Our 7 year old went right up and introduced himself as our much quieter 4 year old stayed behind. Mark DeJohn introduced everyone and with a wink of his eye and a twist of his head the shoot was underway. The kids had so much fun as they each got time alone with Santa, not only to take pictures but also to go over their Christmas wish lists. Mark was so professional and works great with kids. We had so many quality pictures that were sent to us on a CD we had a hard time choosing which to have printed and which to use for our Christmas cards. The whole experience was unforgettable for our kids and they want to do it again this Christmas. Thank you Mark for your creativity and more importantly for saving us from having to visit Santa at the mall!! read more

Mark has been capturing my family's most important moments for years. He has done weddings, communions, graduation, birthdays and family portraits for us. He is so easy to work with and we treasure all our memories captured on film. He is very laid back which makes the sessions more relaxing and he is able to capture genuine smiles. I recommend him all the time! After all these years, he is just not our photographer, but a member of our family. Thank you Mark for being a part of our family! read more

We have used DeJohn Photography for our Family Photos, Engagement Photos, and our Wedding Photos. We live in Northern California but Mark's style of photography was exactly what we were looking for so a trip to and from LA was well worth it. Mark's take on a more natural, unobtrusive style of photography made our wedding day a very memorable and unforgettable event. He's photos are fun, candid, & tell your story. Mark really cared about what we wanted the feel of our event to be, and was all around incredibly flexible. The best part about Mark is that he blends in with the mood of the crowd. I noticed that he did not make anyone uncomfortable, brought an energetic style and had a clear focus of excellence the whole day. If he was tired after the flight to Northern Cal and a full day of photography, we never would have known. We have some of the most beautiful and unique wedding photographs I have ever come across. This is not based on the fact that we are in them. Mark is an artist, and a profound one at that. Reflecting back, I could not imagine Mark not being at our wedding. He is simply a remarkable, dedicated photographer. Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to work with Andrea personally but her style and eye for details are superb. Thank you Mark and Andrea for the wonderful memories! Carolyn and Voltaire read more

I cannot recommend Mark enough. Mark did our engagement photos, bridal shower photos, and our wedding and reception photos. Mark is extremely talented. ALL of our photos turned out absolutely amazing. Mark really knows how to capture your special moments. He truly made our wedding day so memorable and magical. Not only is Mark an EXTREMELY talented photographer, he is very responsive, punctual, and truly cares for his clients. Due to COVID-19, we had to make several changes to our wedding. Mark was so flexible and understanding to our situation which made our wedding process so much easier. We HIGHLY recommend Mark and cannot wait to work with him again. Thank you Mark for everything! read more

DeJohn Photography is amazing. Both Mark and Andrea are super talented and have captured some great memories for us. We used them for our engagment shoot and portraits of our dogs. Once we start to expand our family I will be using them for many many more memories we would like to have captured as well, including, maternity photos and family portraits not to mention a boudoir suprise shoot for my hubby. I know that DeJohn photography will always be my first choice when in need of photos! Thank you Mark & Andrea for your amazing work and sharing your talented vision! Shara Ruberg read more

Mark is an amazing person and photographer. He has photographed my family on several occasions and our family couldn't be happier with our photos or the service we received. I am also a photographer and have very high expectations when it comes to having my own families photos done and each time Mark has gone above and beyond in providing us with everything I visioned. I highly recommend Mark/ DeJohn Photography! read more

We discovered the boldest & most talented photographer. Mark's passion and unique vision captured our wedding in a style that reflects us. Our story is reflected in each shot, and we will treasure this moments forever in our hearts. There is nothing he cannot accomplish with a camera & his creative spirit. Mark Dejohn's is amazing . read more

All I have to say is AMAZING!! The whole experience was incredible. We decided to use my uncles house since it is beautiful. I brought so many outfits, as I really didn't know what was going to work best. Andrea and I choose the best ones. I was totally nervous even though I previously knew Andrea. We started off just getting comfortable with the camera around. But within a few minutes of her guiding me, I was totally into it. She made me feel so beautiful and comfortable. She even showed me some of the photos on the camera during the photo shoot. When I picked up my book, I couldn't believe that was me in those photos. The lighting was perfect. The way that she captured me was fantastic. There was not one photo that I did not like or would not be comfortable showing anyone. I am so going to do this again in the near future. Just for me! They were the best photos I have ever taken and I am proud to show them off! I would highly recommend ANYONE doing this. Even if it's just for themselves. It will give you a confidence that you never thought that you had. Andrea is an amazing photographer and and incredible person. And she will show you that we care al beautiful in every way.... read more

I just opened a yelp account but I've been meaning to review this business. Mark is awesome! He did engagement photos for me. As I proposed to my wife at Shoreline Village in downtown LB, Mark hid and caught the whole event on camera. What great pictures! Mark also did an excellent job on our wedding photos. Took almost 1000 pictures and put them on a disc for us. He captured so many moments and hidden gems throughout the venue and the night that we wouldn't have otherwise noticed or captured. Now we will have these memories forever! Mark also took some beautiful family photos of us when our son was born. He got some very cool angles, which I love. I highly recommend his services! Thanks Mark! read more

DeJohn Photography is definitely the best around. They are proffesional, friendly and they have an eye for capturing the best of every moment. I worked with Andrea and she managed to make it easy and fun. I never felt awkward or dumb in my poses. I had Andrea shoot portraits of me for my fiancee and the way she captured each pose was just incredible. I say to everyone that she truly brings out the best in you. She makes you feel beautiful when you doubt yourself. I recommend them for any occasion, Mark and Andrea will capture your heart while they capture the best moments of your life. :) read more

DeJohn Photography is the best around! My husband and I hired them to take our Engagement Photos and we were not disappointed. Mark & Andrea are so nice and friendly. They make you feel at ease and made the experience fun. My husband was a little nervous about "modeling" for the shoot, but they made us both laugh and feel relaxed all the way through. The photos turned out absolutely gorgeous!!! We wanted to hire them for our wedding, but unfortunately the venue did not allow outside photographers. I think our photos would have been much better if we could have hired DeJohn Photography! We have since moved to Denver, but I have already discussed doing a boudoir session with Andrea, next time I visit LA! read more

Mark DeJohn was referred to me by my future sister-in-law and when I saw some of the pictures he had taken of his other clients, I knew he had to take our photos too. We recently had our engagement photos done and he instantly made us feel very comfortable. He had many creative ideas for what turned out to be beautiful photos and was even open to our ideas. He made the entire shoot a lot of fun and we can't wait to see what he captures at our wedding! read more

We use DeJohn Photography for all of our family events. We did engagement photos on location in Manhattan Beach on the beach :) they turned out BEAUTIFUL! We got so many compliments there was no way we were going to go with another photographer for our wedding in Vegas that year. They seriously saved me when I had a makeup dilemma 1/2hr before the wedding. Andrea saved my life that day! I seriously would have had a nervous break down if they hadn't been there when I needed them. Mark and Andrea were more than photographers that day. Our Maternity Shoot in a park in Hermosa Beach was AMAZING. I love how Mark gets these incredible shots so naturally. We truly have so many great memories saved in amazing photos thanks to Mark and Andrea @ DeJohn Photography. They are super nice and willing to try anything :) When you meet them its like you've known them forever. Our little girl is only 6 weeks old now, but I'm definitely booking an appointment to get her infant portraits done soon. If you go with them you won't be disappointed! Quick turn around for digital copies and good prices. read more

What can I say that hasn't been said already, but I will try. With Andrea you are in great hands. She makes you feel like the most beautiful girl in the world. Like a super, sexy beast. As women who work full time, go to school, take care of kids and family members, try to cook and clean, and comfort everyone else, we can forget how wonderful, sexy, and complex we are! If you ever need a beautiful reminder, please go see Andrea. Through her lens you will be able to understand how beautiful you truly are. read more

We have been going to Mark for years for our family pictures. His work is amazing and his prices are so reasonable that you can actually afford to keep coming back. Love getting my pics on a CD and being able to have a photo shoot wherever we want. His turnaround time is great (which is perfect b/c I always wait until the last minute to book for our holiday picture). He is professional, creative, reasonably priced and a very sweet individual! read more

From begining to end Andrea truly is the most amazing person to bare it all to. She made me feel like a million dollars and I am no small girl! She did my hair and make up and made me feel comfortable in my own skin. Her photos captured me in a way that made me see myself in a way I have never before. I couldn't have asked nor wanted for a better photo shoot. Without doubt, I will have her take all my pictures! She does astounding work! read more
