We used Duke as our photographer for our wedding and I could not have asked for a better photographer. Duke is talented, hard working, detail oriented, professional, sophisticated, and down to earth. His photography style is what initially drew us to him. He made us look like a high fashion couple on a Vogue cover, which is not our natural aesthetic unfortunately. He was a pleasure to work with and his entire team was also great. Saira was excellent with communication and was always there to help with any questions I had along the way. She responded promptly to all of my emails and made me feel comfortable with the outfit choices for our engagement shoot. You cannot go wrong with Duke, he's truly one of the best in the biz. I am so grateful to have had him and his team there on our special day. He helped me feel comfortable and grounded during a very emotional day...and most importantly, our photos turned out fabulous. read more

For someone who is not easily impressed.............Duke and his team deliver! For our wedding, Duke and his team did both, photography/video. Not only is Duke a great referral source, but he knows how and what he wants for and from you to have the amazing photo's your dream of. I have never seen someone work so hard for an entire long........day!! I don't even recall Duke and his team ever eating during the course of a 10 hour day. This is because there is always someone taking a photo/or video. I also appreciated that Duke is easy but assertivate....I always felf comfortable speaking with him. It was as though he was SUPERMAN........lol..........but seriously, there are a lot of photographers out there but TRUST ME.............there is only ONE DUKE. He is well worth the money and more. Just do yourself a favor and make an appointment to review his work and you too will chose him if he's available. I wish he was a wedding coordinator too.................but that's another story.... One happy happy customer. read more

The best team ever! The best in LA and OC! Duke was the photographer for both my engagement and wedding photos. Words can't describe how amazing him and his team were, I was and still am so grateful for all the beautiful photos they had captured on the most important day of my life. I chose Duke as my photographer after doing a lot research. He's the preferred photographer at the Ritz Carlton, you know what that means- the best! After months of exchanging emails, phone calls, and meetings in person I felt like he's not just my photographer, but a friend, someone I could reach out to for opinions and suggestions. Throughout the process Duke and Saira (his office manager) were so nice and helpful, they were so patient and accommodating. Saira and I exchanged hundreds of emails, she was sweet and helpful, I really appreciated her prompt responses. Fast forward to our wedding day. Duke and his team did a phenomenal job, they went above and beyond to capture those moments. Duke had a cold, but that didn't stop him from climbing the rocks and risking himself falling into the ocean, he took the most beautiful sunset photos of us. Duke knew the venue inside out, he knew exactly where and when to take photos, didn't waste any minute. That's the kind of photographer you want to hire on your big day! I can go on and on about what a great team Duke Images was. Trust me, he is THE photographer for your big day! read more

My husband and I hired Duke to shoot our engagement photos and our wedding (pre-ceremony, romantics, ceremony, reception, still shots, etc.). Duke and his entire team, particularly Hilma and Saira, are exceptional in every aspect of their work - from communication, to work product, to capturing the shot, editing the photos, and producing incredible albums. Duke and his team made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Duke captured the best angles, most interesting shots, and knew exactly how to work each venue we used him at. He was efficient, professional, and knew exactly how to manage everyone. He was patient during all of our outfit changes and made sure that we got every type of shot we would want. His photos are true artwork. We will definitely be using him again. read more

My husband and I loved our experience working with Duke Images for our wedding! What separates Duke apart from others is not only his talent but his vested interest in his clients. He starts with shooting the engagement shoot to get to know us as couple to capture the essence of our chemistry. On the wedding day, Duke brought a whole team to assist! While Duke was dedicated to the bride and groom the whole day, he had a team capturing all the moments we wished we were a part of. The entire team was friendly, professional, courteous, and enthusiastic! Duke and his team really care for their clients. As part of our package, we purchased an enlarged canvas from our engagement shoot to include at our wedding. Rather than dropping the enlarged 30x40 canvas off with FedEx and taking the risk of it either getting lost in the mail before the big day or damaged, Duke personally dropped it off at my house. If that is not treating your clients like family, I don't know what is! Not only does Duke care but also his team shares the same values! Saira, who also has a great eye for detail, reached out to me before my big day and asked if there was any particular vision or inspiration photos I had in mind. They go above and beyond to make your day exactly what you had in mind. On the wedding day, I noticed Saira would whisper to Duke if the slightest detail was off such as if my dress was not fluffed up correctly or if my necklace was slightly twisted. It's truly the little things that make you appreciate how passionate Duke and his team are. Duke's photography is truly breathtaking! Duke's photography was exactly what we were looking for to capture one of the important days of our lives - editorial and elegance. These pictures illustrate the most intimate and important moments of our wedding day. We are absolutely in love with all of our pictures!!! A big thank you to Duke and his entire team!!! read more

Amazing. Pure and simple. His work is like no other. He is the best of the best!!! I was so happy that I was able to join my little sister, Michelle, and soon to be brother-in-law Farid on their engagement shoot! My bro-in-law had talked so highly of him all the months leading to their engagement shoot and seeing it firsthand was AMAZINGGGGG!! First and foremost he truly cares about his clients and getting the best looks for them. He's so patient, and truly has an eye for breathtaking images. I've seen images on his Instagram account, but being there in person was just such an honor. I've seen a lot of photographers and I have to say he's so professional, so eager to make sure that both the bride and groom feel confident and beautiful which comes right through in his images. Highly recommend without a doubt, Duke Images, If you want to LOVE LOVE LOVE your photos- he's the ONLY one I'd choose. CANNOT WAIT FOR THE BIG DAY ON APRIL 27th- I will definitely update my review with his STUNNING art here so that everyone can see him work his magic. He truly knows how to capture all the special moments with his amazing talent. read more

Duke is the absolute best photographer out there! If you want a photographer you can trust and have amazing photos, look no further! I think his photos speak for themselves so I want to share why he is such a pleasure to work with. Duke has so much passion for his photography, he gets you excited about your own photos! Taking photos isn't our favorite thing to do, but somehow Duke made us enjoy every minute of it!He is so into taking the perfect photos, it's infectious! Everyone in Duke's team is professional and such a pleasure to work with! Saira was great! She answered all my questions thoroughly and always in a timely matter! I can honestly say, Duke was one of my favorite vendors at our wedding! It was truly such a great experience to work with him - such a professional, humble, and great photographer! read more

We are still not over how perfect our wedding was captured. Bronson, Saira, and team were so amazing! They were so organized and knew exactly what to capture. They thought of moments that we didn't even think to be photographed. I wouldn't have picked another group to capture my wedding day and I will recommend them to everyone I know. They are incredible! read more

Most amazing photographer ever. He truly has an amazing vision and goes above and beyond to get the shot, but most importantly, he is truly a pleasure to work with. So professional, kind, caring, and hardworking. That goes for the whole team. My husband and I feel so grateful to have been able to capture our engagement and wedding day memories with Duke. I've seen other photos taken at similar locations by other photographers and they just don't have that breathtaking wow factor that Duke has. The album is stunning too. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Amazing amazing amazing... read more

Where do I begin? I just got married two days ago, and I honestly can't even imagine having another person take my photos! Duke is truly one of the most professional, hard-working, and multi-talented person I have ever met! I don't even know if he eats or drinks water in between takes :) He is such a hard worker! He is also incredibly very passionate about his work that it truly shows! Trust me you will be very pleased with your photos!!! His whole team was also very easy to get in touch with, and they even helped me coordinate my engagement photos and wedding ( I swear Duke's assistant Saira was my go-to from dresses, where to shop, makeup artist, hair, etc. LOL)! Almost a one-stop shop for everything! Overall, we are incredibly very grateful! His whole team was creative, talented, and professional. I am so glad to have them capture my wedding day! FYI: He is also one of the most sought-after photographers ever! So make sure to book him ahead of your other vendors! read more

This man is really good at what he does. Duke shot our wedding and was with us for almost 12 hours straight that day. Beyond the high quality of the final images, we appreciated his wit and friendly, low-key vibe and were surprised by the level of energy he sustained throughout the day. One of the best shots he took was an idea he got excited about at the end of the night, when most of our guests were gone and my shoes were off. read more

Duke shot my wedding back in October 2006 and I was very happy with my service and the quality of photos and the album we received. Since then, he has only gotten more talented (I follow his current work via his blog and Twitter). I always forward his information to newly engaged pals. Check out his current portfolio and schedule an interview with him--you won't be disappointed! read more

Duke and his amazing team are superstars! Duke photographed my mom's wedding to my step-dad and our entire family can't imagine a wedding celebration without Duke and his team. After my now husband proposed one of the first calls I made was to Duke. He is highly sought after due to his creative eye and ability to capture pure magic. BE SURE TO BOOK IN ADVANCE. Those behind-the-scenes on like Aaron and Saira also shine brightly! The entire team is hard-working, professional and a dream to work with. After a wedding or once in a lifetime event photographs and memories are some of the few keepsakes. Ensure that your vision comes to life and every detail is captured, hire duke and his team! read more

Let me start by saying that I am EXTREMELY picky and very difficult to please. Duke is hands down the most amazing photographer ever. Duke is a rare because he is extremely talented, very professional, but is also a kind hearted person. I planned my wedding date around his availability, and he went above and beyond to make sure that our photos were amazing. We had an engagement shoot prior to our wedding, and immediately I felt comfortable. My husband isn't into having photos taken, but during our 5 hour engagement shoot, he somehow got my husband to enjoy it. He was so detailed and positioned us in ways to make our photos look amazing. We never had to think of how to look, or what expression to have on our faces, or even what poses to have... Duke was so quick to figure it all out and I absolutely love our photos. On our Wedding day, he was very punctual, and him and his team worked tirelessly to make sure that he could take a surplus of photos for us. He had good, positive energy the entire time, he was extremely organized, and very creative. I felt like he knew the types of photos I was looking for, and he was able to deliver without me having to say a word. I am so grateful that Duke was able to photograph our wedding! And I can't wait to get my wedding album! Thanks Duke for all of your hard work! Desiree read more
