Michele Q.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Eljay for both our engagement photos and our rehearsal dinner, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Our engagement photos turned out so stunning that we proudly displayed them at our wedding. He captured beautiful moments at multiple locations that are incredibly special to us, including the Pasadena Courthouse, our home, Disneyland, and the restaurant where we first met--Shakey's. What truly sets Eljay apart is his professionalism, laid-back nature, and flexibility. He helped guide us with our poses in such a natural, relaxed way, making the entire experience feel effortless and fun. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he's also affordable and willing to travel, which made the experience so convenient for us. We also appreciated that he provided both edited and raw images, giving us the freedom to use them however we'd like. Eljay was very responsive and friendly throughout the entire process, making us feel comfortable and at ease. His demeanor and attention to detail were exactly what we were looking for in a photographer. On top of that, he has a photobooth business that we're excited to use for our next party--hopefully soon! We will absolutely be booking him again for future photo shoots. Highly recommend!

EM productions' services are so great! From photoshoots to photo booths to even audio guest books! Eljay is so professional and responds back fairly quickly with a flexible schedule. His work speaks for itself and I will always book with him for my future events!

I recently had my graduation photos taken by Eljay Manabat Productions, and I am super happy with their services. They were very professional throughout the process, and their fast communication made everything even easier. They were flexible with their availability and it was easy to find a date for the shoot. They recommended locations for the photoshoot which I really appreciated because I didn't know of any. The photo session was relaxed and fun, and I received the digital edited photos shortly after. I was very happy with all the photos! If you're looking for a talented and dedicated photographer for any occasion, especially graduations, Eljay Manabat Productions is the way to go! 10/10 def recommend!

I am so grateful of the entire experience and happy with how our family photos turned out! I chose…read morethe premium holiday in-studio and outdoor package. It began with a virtual consultation with Nadine and Sofia to go over the details of the photoshoot and next steps. Since I am pregnant and also have two boys, I wanted the photoshoot to be special by capturing our growing family. We decided on a maternity and family holiday photoshoot, which included variety of backgrounds and outfits. The next step was scheduling a in-person fitting prior yo the shoot to try on a few dresses. Sofia put together a styling sheet and provided suggestions on what to wear for my family to coordinate nicely. Sofia also provided a timeline on the day of the shoot, which was very helpful. As a busy pregnant working mom, the best thing about this entire experience was getting professional hair and makeup done at the studio! Shoutout to artist Veronica for making me feel and look my best. I have done two sunrise family photoshoots in the past, and I absolutely do not have the energy, time, or desire to get ready on my own. I also had a maternity in-studio photoshoot done last year, I had to go get makeup and hair done in two different places, then drive an hour, which by then my curls were no longer holding. Not at Sachiko Studios, they will take care of you from beginning to end, and you will feel fresh. After getting hair and makeup done, we did a quick maternity photoshoot session. My family met us at the studio and we did the holiday photoshoot. The in-studio photos of our family portraits turned out lovely. For outdoor shoot, we drove to Bradbury's Bridge, which was about 15 min away. I loved the fall and natural backdrops. Having the option of doing an outdoor photoshoot was great because it captured our active kids candidly. Nadine was so great with my kids! She was able to capture my youngest looking happy and all smiles. She rewarded my oldest for being good at following directions.

Finally came to a place in my business where I felt like I needed some professional branding…read morephotos. My business is ALL me and I needed help capturing what I do to launch on my website. My photo session included hair and makeup by one of Nadine's stylists, Quendy (highly recommend!!) and wardrobe! That really helped because my closet consists of leggings and sweaters lol. We did 3 outfit changes, Nadine shot some of my products, and action shots with a model. Nadine made the whole experience very comfortable and fun for someone who is *really* shy and prefers to stay behind the camera. I love how my photos came out and excited for another photo session in the future!

We are so grateful for your professionalism, attention to detail, and the level of care you put into every shot. Your experience truly shows. One thing we really appreciated was how direct and clear you were with instructions. You guided us on exactly how to pose, where to place our hands, and how to position ourselves so the photos looked natural and elegant. Because of that, we felt confident the entire time and never felt awkward in front of the camera. Another amazing feature was the live cam viewing option. Being able to instantly see the photos you were taking gave both us and our guests so much excitement and reassurance. Every picture looked incredible, and it really showed us that we were working with a true professional. We absolutely love that we could immediately view the moments you captured. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further. Emil's attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to make couples feel comfortable are truly superb. Highly recommend!

My husband and I were surprised with how good the photos turned out. Owen guided us on poses, so do not worry if you don't have any experience in front of a camera like us. I appreciate his attention to detail (notifying us of stray hairs, etc.) and he was respectful for my family who wanted a group photo. Not to mention, he's really humorous with his pop culture references; that definitely broke the ice and allowed us to be more at ease. I also want to highlight that he works incredibly fast and presented the finished products just a few days after our shoot! Thank you, Owen, for capturing these special moments for me and my husband.

He knew what we were looking for and took pictures of everything, food, guests, the venue. He directed all of the family photos and wasn't afraid to tell people to fix things for the sake of the pictures. He had my kids taking their monstrous load of stuff out of their pockets and even had me "suck it in" to get the right shot. Quick delivery of the photos and was cool enough to just give us all of the picture for the event. Highly recommend....

Janice has now captured newborn photos of both my daughters, and choosing her both times was a…read moreno-brainer. Two years apart, and both sessions were equally beautiful, fun, and everything I could have hoped for. What sets Janice apart isn't just her incredible eye for a photo - it's how genuinely present and thoughtful she is with my whole family. She was extremely patient and gentle with my newborn, and made my two year old feel completely at ease by leaning right into all the toys she kept eagerly showing off. Watching that connection unfold was honestly one of my favorite parts of the session. She even welcomed our two dogs without missing a beat! Having everything done in the comfort of my own home made it that much more special, personal, and stress-free. We absolutely loved having these milestone moments captured in our own space, surrounded by all the things that make our family ours. If you're looking for someone to document this fleeting, irreplaceable season of life with care, artistry, and a whole lot of heart, look no further than Chasing Hiromi. These are photos I will cherish forever. Thank you, Janice :)

On top of that, she even snuck my husband and me away for a few private photos, which I didn't expect but absolutely loved. Janice was wonderful at directing us without making anything feel stiff or awkward. She made the whole session feel easy and fun, and the kids stayed engaged the entire time (a small miracle). The photos turned out beautifully, and we genuinely enjoyed the process. Also, the turnaround time for delivery of photos was even faster than she estimated. We can't wait to work with her again and would recommend her to any family looking for someone patient, talented, and great with kids (and pets!).

This event was incredibly important to me, and I wanted every detail to be just right--and thanks to D'Arcy, it was! I had seen her booth at other events, including a New Year's party in Ventura at the same hotel where I hosted my celebration. After seeing the quality of her setup and the fun it brought to guests, I knew I wanted to work with her. From the very beginning, D'Arcy was amazing. We started planning weeks in advance, discussing backgrounds and design ideas. I shared my vision with her, and she brought it to life beautifully. Her communication throughout the process was prompt, professional, and reassuring--she was always quick to respond and very easy to work with. On the day of the event, she arrived a few hours early to make sure everything was set up perfectly. She also made sure my guests knew how to use the booth, which ran smoothly all night. I received so many compliments on the quality of the photos and how fun the experience was. I highly recommend D'Arcy's photo booth for any special occasion. She is creative, reliable, and truly passionate about what she does. I will absolutely be using her services again. Thank you, D'Arcy, for helping make my birthday celebration so memorable
