As an event planner who has collaborated with Nicole on multiple occasions, I can confidently say…read moreshe is exceptional! She is everything both a client and a planner could want in a photographer talented, professional, calm under pressure, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Nicole is a true creative partner. She has the perfect balance of personality and leadership able to command a room when needed to achieve the shots that matter most, while still photographing in an organic, effortless way that captures the true essence of each moment. Her eye for lighting and angles is exceptional, and her work is consistently artistic, elevated, and timeless. Clients are beyond happy with their decision to book her, and it's easy to see why. Aside from her talent, her turnaround time is incredible. She shares sneak peeks so quickly, which clients always appreciate especially while they're still on that post-wedding high. And planners appreciate as well! Being able to relive such a meaningful day through photos (and video) so soon after the celebration is truly exciting, and Nicole consistently goes above and beyond to deliver galleries as quickly as possible without ever compromising quality. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I look forward to many more events together!! Xoxo

There are not enough words to express how much Nicole Kirshner means to me and my family. She has…read morebeen there to capture the most sacred, life-changing moments of my life from my engagement, wedding, pregnancy announcement, pregnancy, newborn photos, and family photos. Every single time she has given us something far beyond photographs. She has given us memories we will treasure forever. Nicole is the most genuine, loving, beautiful soul. From the moment you meet her, you feel safe, understood, and completely cared for. She pours her whole heart into her work, and it shows in every image. Her photos are not just stunning they are emotional, intimate, and alive. She captures love in its purest form. During seasons that were tender, emotional, and overwhelming, Nicole showed up with warmth, patience, and so much love for my family. These are moments you can never get back, and because of her, we get to relive them over and over again. I will forever cherish the times she has helped my family and the way she has preserved our story. I love her so much and am endlessly grateful for her talent, her heart, and her presence in our lives. Choosing Nicole as your photographer means choosing someone who will treat your memories like they matter because to her, they truly do.

We booked my maternity shoot at 31 week pregnant and our location off the road at a river/hike was near the start to Mt. Baldy. Paul chose the best spot and was a perfect vibe for us cause we are nature, down to earth people. We did about 1.5 session exploring the area on the hike and near the river. Paul was a great guidance in getting us in a photogenic position and to be happy. I believe he captured our joy and happiness in the photos. He had such an eye for detail and color. We had a great experience with Paul and forever grateful for capturing a beautiful moment our first baby pregnancy.

Their talent and eye for shots is incredible; I still can't believe how some of our photographs turned out. He turned a very shy, introverted woman into a model! He and Leanne know how to direct you to make you LOOK GOOD. We had a very long day, with an early morning wedding ceremony, followed by family portraits, then off-location wedding party shots, and a nearly 6-hour evening reception. They both were with us from the moment we got ready to the very end and their enthusiasm, professionalism, and creativity NEVER WANED.

It was a pleasure to work with Justin Kim. After looking through his work on Instagram and reading…read morethe great reviews on Yelp, we decided to choose him as the photographer for our wedding on November 2025 at Five Crowns. We were very impressed by his professionalism and talent. Since we're not used to taking professional photos, he gave clear directions and made us feel comfortable on our big day. Turnaround time for the edited photos was quick and we're very happy with them. We're thankful to have him as our photographer and will recommend him to anyone that asks.

I was referred to Justin by a friend and am confident that he was the best photographer that I…read morecould have booked for my wedding. From the beginning, he was very responsive and communicative about his services, expectations and things to consider for the big day. As someone who was planning her own wedding and did not have a coordinator, I very much appreciated his guidance and wisdom since he has so much experience with shooting weddings! He was very understanding and patient when it came to details regarding my timeline (which I sent to him only a week before the event). On the day of, we were running late in the morning, but Justin showed up early and even kindly stayed 20 minutes later than scheduled to make sure we could squeeze in all the group pictures that we wanted. Also, to both of our surprises, my uncle showed up with a camera, but Justin was very understanding and accommodating about the matter and made sure both he and my uncle were able to capture shots without getting in each other's ways. Justin did such a wonderful job positioning my husband and me for shots. We did not really come with any ideas in mind, but Justin had such a wide array of poses, both direct and candid, that we absolutely loved. He also did such a great job showcasing both of us individually and fluffing my train/highlighting the beauty of my wedding dress! Andrew, his son and the second photographer, was also so sweet and helped make sure the full effect of my veil was captured on camera. I am also so appreciative that they went out of their way and captured some special moments via video for us to have (we did not have a videographer). Overall, Justin and his team are extremely friendly, professional and flexible with the best possible attitude and careful attention to detail. I cannot believe the sheer amount of pictures that I received from the wedding day and how much time it must have taken them to carefully touch up and edit each and every single photo. Most of my pictures were taken indoors, but the lighting in the photos is immaculate. Truly, I am so grateful to have hired Justin and his team for my special day, and I would not hesitate to book and recommend him for any future photography needs.

I am so grateful towards Jennifer Yount and her husband/partner Luke for their amazing photography…read moreskills! She brings the perfect balance of creativity, patience, kindness, and love of her craft, all while maintaining complete professionalism and being firm when necessary to keep everyone on time. Jennifer and Luke are amazing to work with; they made us feel so comfortable from the start of our engagement shoot through the end of our wedding. She is such an expert and so talented that you can place complete trust in her, follow her instructions, and know your photos will be spectacular. It is obvious that she truly loves what she does. We had an initial meeting over happy hour to get to know each other and for her to learn our story. She was always so patient and supportive during our wedding planning process, even with rebooking the whole event twice due to COVID and an unexpected rainstorm on the wedding day. I cannot emphasize enough how much of a stress relief it was to have Jennifer guiding us, our families, and our bridal party through the wedding day because we had complete trust in her expertise and skill. She was like an additional bridesmaid at times; running back to the bridal suite, bustling my gown to avoid puddles, fixing my hair in the wind. Luke also brings extra creativity to the pair; one minute he's next to you, and the next you look up and somehow he's climbed a tree to get a great shot. He was the one who encouraged us to walk out onto the jetty to get some of the most spectacular photos I have ever seen. Jennifer's photos are truly a work of art and encompassed everything we had hoped for to remember our wedding day. She listens to you, follows your style, and makes sure to capture all of the highlights of the day. We got a wide variety of beautiful pictures including the bridal party, first look, more formal family portraits, candids throughout the evening, and many photos of our guests. As with most weddings, the day went by in a flash and I am so thankful I have these amazing photos to remember it by. Jennifer also offers a wide range of high quality products (perfect for gifts!) so you can show off your beautiful day. I cannot thank Jennifer and Luke enough for their amazing work and all of their support throughout our crazy planning process. I can't wait to work with them again when we will be ready for our future family portraits.

The other- plain and simply, high caliber of professionalism, authenticity, and warmth that I've had the pleasure to experience after hiring KLK to work their magic for my engagement and wedding photos at The Ritz Carlton, Laguna Niguel, this past July. Firstly, my fiancé is not a fan of taking any kind of photos (downright hates the mere thought of it), but Paul changed that all for him during our short engagement and wedding photoshoot so that deserves an extra thank you, as I thought that was not possible. And to have many amazing photos to show for the least possible amount of time to shoot is nothing short of amazing, and illustrates the quality of output you would receive from KLK. Not only that, Kristi and Paul are the cutest, most down to earth and friendliest people you'll meet in the industry. We have only received our wedding teasers to date, and they were all outstanding. Can't wait to see the rest of the wedding images which KLK has communicated will complete in the next week or so - we also purchased a custom wedding photo book which we are very excited about! We can't recommend KLK enough and truly made the best choice picking them as our wedding photographers-- simply one of a kind!
