Hiring Erich as our wedding photographer was truly one of the best decisions we made for our big day. From the moment he arrived, Erich brought such a warm, positive energy that instantly put us at ease. He is incredibly professional, yet so personable -- the kind of person who feels like part of the celebration rather than someone working behind the scenes. Erich captured everything perfectly: the emotional moments, the tiny details we didn't even realize mattered, and all the in‑between candid shots that now mean the world to us. His eye for lighting, composition, and timing is unreal. Every photo looks like it belongs in a magazine -- vibrant, romantic, and full of life. What we loved most was how effortless he made the entire experience. He guided us when we needed direction, but also let natural moments unfold beautifully. Our family and bridal party were impressed by how organized he was without ever feeling rushed. And when we saw the final gallery... wow. We were blown away. The images are stunning, and they perfectly tell the story of our day from beginning to end. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, reliable, creative, and genuinely passionate about his craft, look no further than Erich Chen. We'll cherish these photos forever, and we're so grateful he was part of our wedding. We will be contacting Erich for all future photo sessions to come! read more

Erich did an incredible job with our engagement and wedding photoshoots. He made it fun for us and it felt like we were just laughing and hanging out with a long time friend, and the pictures came out amazing because of that energy too. He also really knows the best places to get great pictures in LA and is also open to any of our ideas and finds a way to make them work and look good. Would highly recommend Erich to anyone and we are planning to ask him to do all of our family photoshoots in the future! read more

I forgot how I came across Erich's website, but we were extremely fortunate to hire him as one of our first wedding vendors. He worked with us on the engagement shoot, our tea ceremony, and wedding day -- all the photos turned out remarkable. It was important to us that Erich was aware of our outfit choices and details along the way. They are images we will remember for the rest of our lives! In particular, we love how the candid shots really captured precious moments of interaction and particularly the smiles among family and friends. Erich's technical sensibility was impressive and he knew how we should pose. Since we are similar in height and size, Erich knew what to do. Everything felt right and we felt comfortable. Though we got tired towards the end of each session, he was always there to keep our energy up and the photos do a remarkable job of showing his ability to capture a feeling. He knew how we should be framed and some of the best photos he captured were ones we felt awkward posing in but we never doubted the vision! He also came with referrals for a videographer, which we were so lucky to have found through his help. They made a great team and worked well together. read more

Go with Erich, I promise you won't regret it. When you work with him you can tell he has so much experience because he asks you silly, random prompts to elicit the most honest, pure reactions. My husband and I did our engagement shoot with him and were soooo pleased with the results. We, admittedly, are pretty awkward in front of cameras but Erich made us feel so comfortable. We just got our wedding photos and our jaws dropped. We had a sense of overwhelming joy, nostalgia, and a little bit of sadness because the day passed by so quickly. We'll have these photos to cherish forever. I can't thank Erich enough for what he's done for us!! I have a mini gallery in my dining room of Erich's photography and artwork - we are huge fans of him, through and through. read more

We feel so lucky to have been able to book Erich for our wedding in June just because we know that he's in high demand and is always busy. Well, we know exactly why he is so busy - he is extremely talented and professional! The way that Erich was able to move so smoothly through the ceremony and reception to capture posed and candid photos of us, guests and details. One thing I'd like to point out is Erich has a natural talent in making us feel comfortable and capturing the moment! He would ask us prompts that really made us laugh and just have a wonderful time shooting. He was also very efficient in taking the many group photos after the ceremony - groom side, *prompt*, great smiles, *click, click, click*, bride side... It was very impressive. The photos came back within a few weeks and the post-production was great! I definitely recommend Erich for any event you want documented to perfection! read more

Amazing! Gorgeous! Fun! Yay! - I really can't find the right words to describe how incredible our experience was working with Erich as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos. He's not only a pro with years of experience (and it shows in the quality of his work) but also delightful and fun to work with. Highly recommend doing an engagement session with him first, so by the time your wedding comes around you're practically best friends. Who text each other about the Clippers. True story. Honestly, for whatever your photography needs are, he is your guy. He will make sure you are taken care of, look good and enjoy yourself. He'll help you pick out outfits, knows how to get the right lighting at golden hour and can make your decision of picking a high traffic, under construction intersection photo location in Inglewood look AH-MAZING. Also true story. I feel so fortunate to have been able to work with him. So if you're looking into booking him, just DO IT! read more

Right off the bat 11/10 would recommend Erich to be your photographer. Don't even hesitate, just do it. We were looking for a wedding photographer and we discovered Erich through our day-of coordination from Ah, Love Events (Helen Hong). What was important to me in our vendor selection was how well I *clicked* with each vendor. From Erich and I's first video call, you could tell that he knew his craft, was very professional, and genuinely wanted to capture our special day the way we saw it. Throughout our time together, Erich was timely in responses to our questions, receptive to our feedback, and helped two very camera-awkward people capture some amazing moments. We had the lucky experience of shooting our engagement photos in Tokyo! Here we both got a feel of how photo+couple worked as a unit (I will always recommend the engagement shoot with your photographer. It's worth the money to get a preview of how your wedding will be). I personally have a hard time with the thought of being as a direct photo subject. Erich's direction style is a mix of how-to pose (which is what we desperately needed) and conversation prompts to capture our genuine expressions (which is what was most imps to me - big ugly smiles). By the end of the night I was much more comfortable and kept telling We had such a fun time doing a nighttime shoot and will now forever have photos to commemorate such a special trip for us. Bonus - we used a bunch of those photos as decorations around our wedding! On our actual wedding day, it rained and we had to pivot last minute to our rain plan. Erich and his second shooter Jackie were incredible, both standing the rain as the rest of us stayed dry under the awning for wedding party photos. Throughout the night, they were calm, professional, and honestly I didn't even notice them around after we were done with formal photos (In the best way possible!). They were blended seamlessly in the crowd capturing all the little moments that were so impt to me. When we got our previews the next morning (and so early in the morning too!) I literally was tearing up at how much I loved them already. Our friends and families are obsessed with the previews and we cannot wait till our full collection is finished! We look forward to working with Erich in the future to capture our next big moments! read more

While looking for a photographer, we came across Erich! We're so glad that we did. He's really amazing at what he does and his passion for photography really shines through. His style of photography is very distinct. It's unique, and candid, which we love. Erich was personable, professional, responsive, and understanding! He was simply an amazing person to work with. We've never taken photos like this before, but he put us as ease with his "ice breakers" and by the end of the shoot, we were comfortable, laughing, and ready for more photos. At our wedding, everyone loved Erich. He was calm and collected and kept everyone smiling and laughing with his questions and sense of humor. If you're thinking about booking Erich for your next event, you won't regret it! read more

Erich did an absolutely amazing job documenting our proposal. He set up a beautiful flower heart that I proposed in with a rose peddle path and tiki torches that looked straight out of a movie. He got every single moment of the proposal captured flawlessly with a perfect sunset lighting background. What a fantastic job. read more

Our experience with Erich has been amazing. He did our engagement shoot and our wedding, and he was everything we could have hoped for and more. He was so good at eliciting and capturing genuine emotions and moments. The engagement shoot was so fun! And I was amazed by the intimate, fun, and action moments he captured at the wedding. He has an amazing eye! Highly recommend!!! read more

Erich is incredibly talented. Great eye, beautiful retouching, friendly and easy to work with, and knows how to get everyone comfortable in front of the camera. We received so many gorgeous photos from our reasonably modest backyard wedding and he captured not only the big moments (coming down the aisle, first kiss, recessional, cake cutting, etc), but also amazing candid shots of us getting ready and our guests at the reception. I was also worried that Erich had to work around some challenging direct sunlight, but it was not an issue for him at all. I highly recommend Erich!!! read more

Erich Chen Photography - Such a happy moment! - Event Photography Near Me

My first wedding and Erich captured it so beautifully! Utmost professional and the pictures are breathtaking. Highly recommend if your goal is to have pictures that will give you all the feels when you see them. We opted for 2 photogs for our very intimate small wedding and chose an individual package that reflected our needs. I had followed Erich's work on Instagram for awhile and I knew he was the photographer for us and he didn't disappoint. It was exactly what we wanted. I would recommend him with no hesitation! read more

I don't normally write reviews as you can clearly see by my lack of any previous ones on here, but I am beyond excited my first one is for Erich! Before you read any further just do yourself a favor and hire him, you will not regret it! We had Erich shoot our engagement and wedding photos both of which turned out amazing, we literally couldn't stop sharing them with family and friends. The biggest thing that stood out to me about Erich occurred before we even decided to go with him. During our first Zoom meeting rather than getting into a sales pitch (like many others we talked to) of packages he offers / how he works/ his shooting style etc. he took the time to really get to know us. Our story of how we met, things we enjoy doing together, our backgrounds, families, and much more which instantly established a level of comfort that made our decision a no brainer. Headed into the engagement shoot my fiancé and I were nervous just thinking about posing in front of a camera for 2+ hours however those feelings quickly disappeared once Erich began working. He asked us silly questions about each other and seriously had what felt like an unlimited number of prompts for us to talk about which made the whole experience so much fun. He truly does a great job making you feel comfortable which helps with those lovely candid moments he is so great at capturing. We couldn't wait to work with him again on our wedding day! He made everything seamless and easy for us, capturing the magic and energy of our special day. We could not believe how beautiful the photos were, mostly because we couldn't believe that was us in them! He does a great job making everything fun and lighthearted while still capturing all the important memories and all the ones we couldn't be a part of. I loved being able to see our wedding through his lens as we obviously we note able to be everywhere at once. There we things we were bound to miss however looking at the photos, seeing our family and friends having a great time instantly transported us back into the moment. Erich, thanks for making us look like cover models and for all your hard work. I cannot recommend him enough, choosing Erich will be the best decision you make! read more

We are so incredibly thankful we were able to have Erich as our wedding photographer! We chose Erich because he is simply SO talented. His eye for photography is unmatched and his skill is apparent compared to many other wedding photographers out there. It's easy to take cookie cutter, cutesy wedding photos - what's actually difficult is taking timeless, classic, editorial-style wedding photos that will last through the decades. Erich does this brilliantly. We were impressed by Erich's professionalism, among many other great qualities. Erich is personable, kind, understanding, and open to our ideas. Erich listened to our style/wants/needs and combined it with his expertise. The end result was the photos of our dreams and then some. Our family, friends, and wedding party complimented Erich even until this day, as even they noticed how awesome he was! We cannot recommend Erich more. In a saturated market with endless options for a photographer, Erich is a diamond in the rough. Thankfully, you won't need a magic genie to book him - you'll just have to book him before someone else does! :) read more

If you need a photographer, Erich is the guy! My work friend recommended Erich when I was in search of a photographer for my wedding. The whole process with Erich is super smooth. We had Erich shoot our engagement and wedding photos. He's super fun to work with. He captures very candid photos which is something I absolutely love. Through the whole photoshoot, he would always asks us silly questions. I think that makes my face less stiff. read more

Erich is such a pro! My husband hates the camera, but Eric made him feel so comfortable and actually made it fun. He gave great direction for our portraits and family photos, and he did an amazing job of capturing everything we hoped for in such a stylish manner. He has a true gift and knows how to capture precious moments and candid reactions. Our wedding guests told us they enjoyed going through his photos because it really took them back and helped them relive our wedding. We were also blown away by his turnaround times. He sent us a sneak peak of our photos immediately, and about a month later, he sent us the rest of our photos in an easy to navigate album. As you'll read in many reviews, he's truly the best! read more

I was first introduced to Erich when he captured moments from my friends' wedding, and they were so pleased with his pictures and service that they highly recommended him to my husband and me. After an initial phone call with him, we knew right away that he would be the perfect photographer for our forest wedding -- and we were right! Erich was such a great person to work with, and he captured such great photos from our wedding day. We're grateful for him and his work -- and would highly recommend him to anyone! read more

Look no further, because you just found your photographer! We are truly speechless with Erich. He is one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning. Let's just say that once we received our photos, we cried of happiness and literally his photos will be the best way to re LIVE the moment. He is truly amazing, talented, funny, and professional. I met him through one of my good friends who used his services for her wedding and from there, I instantly knew I wanted to use him for our special day. He's easy to work with and you can truly see and feel how passionate he is about his work. I 10000% recommend him, I promise you will not regret it. We're obsessed with his quality photos and we truly hope we can work with him again in the future. He's so comforting to work with - it's like hanging out with a really good friend (lots of fun, laugher, and great energy!! We're so very satisfied. I also want to say that Erich is like a ninja. I've been to plenty of weddings and some photographers get in the way of guests' views and Erich is not this. He can capture all the best moments from a distance. When looking at some of the our photos, I think to myself, damn where was he standing when he took this?! He is so talented and really knows how to use his camera and work his lens! He also brought his second shooter Jackie and she was also amazing! They both work perfectly well together and really took care of us bride and groom! They both have such a great artistic eye and just know that you will be in great hands. It was truly a beautiful night and were so grateful for Erich. Thank you so much for capturing our wedding day! read more

Erich Chen Photography - Event Photography Near Me

Man, this is going to be a hard review to write. Not because there is anything bad (because there isn't) but it's difficult to write all the many great things about Erich and how beautiful his pictures are. My girl found Erich through another couple that Erich shot with and she loved the pictures. As we were planning our wedding and assembling our dream team, she showed me Erich's work and it was an easy sell and an immediate yes. Little did I know, that was the tip of the iceberg. We first had to meet Erich which we did first through a zoom and there was already chemistry. If you don't know Erich, he has a really chill demeanor but he is as upbeat and positive as anyone can be. We started talking about common interests which made it easy since we both like basketball and after the small talk, we were able to tell him what we were looking for in our photos and our photographer, all of which Erich hit on. We already know we wanted Erich and it was up to him to accept which he did and we were excited that the photography portion of the wedding was done. As the date got closer to our wedding date, Erich stayed in touch and always kept us up to date with what his ideas were and also was flexible with whatever we needed. As a couple, we wanted to have our engagement photos shot downtown and around the city and Erich was able to find the best spots. He also made the photoshoot fun making us laugh when we least expected it and making sure we were posing as he wanted based upon the time of day and background he had. On the wedding day, Erich and his fellow co-photographer (she was wonderful and I can only remember her as J as we called each other only by our initials) were not only professional but went that extra mile and then some. We had photos shot throughout the day and the wedding and it never seemed like the photography team were tired (even though I know they must've been exhausted). The charm of both photographers shined when we had to take photos with the wedding party and to this day, anybody who has seen our wedding photos have gushed about how great they look. My last thing to add was my favorite: Erich pulled an audible long after he was done shooting. During the party portion of the night, Erich saw a shot that he had to take and he quickly grabbed his camera and got a "in the moment" shot which we are so happy he did. Huge thanks to him and Lady J for taking the best photos of our big day, one that we will cherish forever and one where we knew we made the best decision picking Erich Chen and his fantastic photography and team. Do yourself a favor and get Erich to take pictures for whatever event you have, it'll be worth the memories you'll get to cherish later on. read more

TL;DR: Just hire Erich, you won't regret it. I saw that he already has a plethora of amazing reviews, and I can only echo what has already been said. I'm quite picky when it comes to photos, and style is a personal preference, but Erich's coloring and shot composition is top-notch. He was a great resource when it came to planning elements of our wedding, always quick responses with honest, professional opinions. For us, he advised against using glow-sticks as a substitute for sparklers in our grand exit (our venue deemed sparklers a fire-hazard), and suggested using bubbles instead. Looking back, we are so glad we asked, as the results were phenomenal. Another thing, this man is a master at prompts. The rapid-fire prompts really helped us loosen up during our couple and wedding party photos, and made the overall process so fun and comfortable, even for the hates-center-of-attention me. As mentioned in other reviews, Erich is extremely professional. The week leading up to our wedding, Erich had a sore throat and was very transparent and cautious with the situation, including offering to find a replacement photographer in the event that he couldn't take photos for our special day. Thankfully it turned out to be just the common cold rather than covid, but this type of honest communication and integrity when the rubber meets the road really makes Erich stand out. It's rare for someone to only have 5 star reviews on Yelp, but I am confident that our experience was only one of many shared amongst those that hired Erich. read more

My wife and I hired Erich to photograph both of our weddings and do our engagement photos, and the entire experience could not have been better. From Erich's sincere attention in getting to know our personalities and relationship dynamics to his professionalism in putting us at ease during portrait sessions to his command of everyone present when directing for photos to his talented and creative artistic eye, Erich was an amazing photographer and really helped to capture incredible memories to last a lifetime. Full disclosure: I already knew Erich as a casual friend through mutual circles, but we interviewed him with the same rigor as all of the photographers we contacted when we were first looking. What really first won us over was when, during the interview video call, Erich helped plan our engagement shoot that we had been struggling with ideas over, going as far as to literally storyboard it and be agreeable to an afternoon and evening shoot in the desert at a site that held sentimental value for my wife's and my relationship. Despite the very high heat on the day of the shoot, Erich helped put us at ease and had fantastic and fun cues and prompts that elicited our quirky and not-too-serious nature, resulting in photographs that were ridiculous and touching and epic. We were one of the many couples who had to postpone our wedding due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but we wanted to have a small civil ceremony on our original wedding date anyway. Erich captured our beautiful day with a masterful and experienced touch, helping arrange our small group at our "impromptu" ceremony site and following up with some creative and marvelous portraits after the ceremony. On our eventual big day, Erich and his second shooter, Lauren, were both amazing, keeping everyone relaxed but organized and capturing all of the beats of the day, from the serious to the silly. Erich's professionalism also showed in his planning and scouting of our site prior to the wedding, which helped brainstorm great photography sites for different moments in the schedule. But Erich also wasn't afraid to call an audible and take advantage of great photographic moments when they arose. All of this added up to an amazing wedding experience with Erich. We are so glad that he could capture our big day(s!), and we would and have highly recommended him to our friends. Thank you, Erich!! read more

Erich is AH-MAZING! Such a great photographer! My now husband and I decided to go with Erich as our engagement and wedding photographer because he seemed so much more personable than the other photographers that I had reached out to. He was professional, very easy to work with, and I just loved the work that he posted on his portfolio and Instagram. He set up a first initial meeting with us to get to know us - like how we met, what our interests were individually and as a couple, and what our personalties were like - and he came up with ideas to incorporate into our engagement session. For our wedding, he also went out of his way to check out the venues beforehand. When it came to taking pictures, he really put us at ease with his calm demeanor and subtle humor. Because of that, I think he was great at taking natural, candid photos, which is a plus for us because my husband and I (especially me) are super awkward when it comes to taking pictures. :P Erich had a quick turnaround with the photos, and I didn't waste any time sharing the photos for my friends and family to see. I just loved how the pictures came out for both the engagement session and the wedding. I would highly recommend Erich to my friends and family. read more

Erich was amazing! We hired Erich shoot our engagement photos and our tea ceremony. The photos turned out fantastic! He was really able to capture emotions perfectly and I feel like I'm back in the moment when I look at the photos he took. He was so fun to work with as well. He asked us silly questions to capture different facial expressions. He was also great a posing and angling us when needed. We could tell he was super passionate about his work when he started getting excited as he was taking the photos. I've already referred him to my brothers and a few friends. I would highly recommend him! read more

On the search for a wedding photographer during the pandemic, we never dreamed that we would have been able to score such an amazing photographer! We were so fortunate to have booked him last minute after our first photographer was on the fence about things initially. I mean, we had originally wanted him as our photographer awhile back (pre-covid), and I guess things work out for the better! Erich is a very easy going photographer who made everyone in the wedding party feel comfortable and less awkward (which is something I tend to do in pictures). He knows how to make everyone not only feel comfortable, but also look great in the photos. Erich also took great candid photos. In addition to great photos, he was provided us with a timeline of when the editing would be completed (roughly a month) and gave us some sneak peaks which I posted ASAP huehuehue. Erich is a wonderful photographer who I would highly recommend to friends and family. I can't wait to use him in the future! read more

My partner and I hired Erich for both our engagement and wedding shoots. Erich was very professional and made us feel instantly at ease and comfortable. We didn't feel nervous at all and had a fun time. We appreciated how he got to know us before the shoots and asked us our opinions and ideas and what we were looking for. During the shoots, Erich got excited about cool shots and it was wonderful to see his creative process. He had an eye for interesting shots and he was thoughtful about the best time of day for lighting, the colors in the background etc. We highly recommend him and would definitely hire him for future photo shoots. read more

Erich was so fun to work with and we love our engagement and wedding photos! I found Erich on instagram and really love his style. We reached out to him and he immediately set up a zoom to get to know us and our background as a couple. Doing an engagement shoot was great for us (we weren't sure about one initially) as we got to spend more time with Erich and get comfortable. We are definitely a little awkward in front of the camera and Erich made it easy with his humor and calm presence. Erich and his second shooter Jacquelyn were awesome on the day of our wedding and were able to capture all our family photos and special moments without it feeling rushed. He sent us some sneak peek photos that night and all of the photos about 1 month after the wedding day. I would 100% recommend Erich to anyone looking for a great wedding photographer. Thank you again Erich! read more

Erich was the most amazing photographer we could have ever asked for!!! We had worked with Erich as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos. His has this amazing quality of making you feel comfortable especially if you haven't had much experience doing photoshoots. He puts in an effort to get to know who he's photographing, asks fun questions, and makes you laugh. On our big day, he was so thoughtful, patient, and efficient - he scoped out the venue, found great spots to shoot, made sure we were on our timeline, and was able to effortlessly organize group photos. He captured everything we wanted for our big day and so much more, and we are forever grateful. Highly recommend!!! read more

Hands down, best photographer EVER. I can't begin to tell you how amazing Erich is - and we are so happy and honored he shot our engagement photos as well as our wedding. Me and my now husband always feel awkward posing but Erich directed us in a way that made our pictures come out so natural and we had SUCH a blast shooting with him. He's efficient, pays attention to little details, and really cared about getting to know us as a couple prior to the shoot. We had problems deciding on which locations to use for our engagement photos but Erich asked us a few questions and gave us amazing suggestions based on where we first met or where our first date was. His style is exactly what we wanted, and he definitely has an artistic eye! We received our wedding photos back last week and everyone loved them - especially us! He really captures the moment and we got to re-live our wedding day. Thank you to Sadaf and Erich for giving us moments to remember for the rest of our lives :) I'll be in touch when we add to our family ;) read more

Erich Chen Photography - Event Photography Near Me

Not going to lie, both my wife and I were completely anxious and nervous about having our pictures taken on our wedding day, more so than getting married. We had already decided to have a civil ceremony at the courthouse, just the two of us and the judge. I wanted to commemorate the event with at least some photos of us, so I reached out to a photographer from my friend's wedding who, due to being unavailable on the day in question, referred me to Erich. After getting in touch and discussing the details we waited for the day to come. Erich met us on the morning of our wedding about 30 minutes prior to the time we had to go in and was great at getting us to loosen up a bit. We spent the next two hours with him snapping away during the ceremony and afterwards, and by the time we were done we were having a great time which included being firmly asked to leave a Pottery Barn. Erich was great at getting us to pose and relax and enjoy ourselves. It helped that he was very outgoing and easy to talk to and get along with. By the end we were hot and tired and really looking forward to seeing the finished photos. A week later we received the link to our photos, and they were great. I'm glad I made the decision to hire a photographer for this and very happy we ended up working with Erich. read more

Erich was recommended to me by another photographer who was unable to perform their photographer duties for my special day.

You will not regret hiring him on your special day. Thank you so much!! read more

Let me start off by saying I am quite particular about photography style and editing. We were on a mission to find the perfect photographer that had that romantic, natural and candid style we liked and someone we could feel comfortable around.. After speaking with numerous photographers, we finally found Erich! At our initial meeting, I felt that he was really down to earth and personable. Erich also has a great sense of humor too which is a plus! He really wanted to get to know the both of us as a couple and individuals. He did a great job capturing us during our engagement shoot and wedding. His experience as a photographer really shows with his ability to direct and guide us for the perfect shot. Because let's be real here, we're not the most photogenic people. During our engagement shoot and wedding day, Erich went above and beyond to get us the best possible shots because the weather gods were not on our side. Nevertheless, our engagement and wedding photos both came out amazing! We've received so many compliments about our photos and how everyone really liked him as a person as well! He is truly an amazing photographer. Thank you so much for everything Erich!! read more

Erich is AMAZING!! His photos are so beautiful and perfectly captured the romantic garden party vibe of my wedding. I also love the warm and joyous mood of his edits. We were able to take full advantage of the golden hour and ugh, I can't stop looking at the photos. He was also my photographer for my engagement and I've got to say, Erich really knows how to get wonderful and genuine photos from awkward subjects. My husband isn't a fan of photo taking but Erich made the process easy and painless for him, and looked much less stiff than he usually does. Would recommend Erich a million times over!! read more

My fiancee and I sought multiple photographers and requested quotes from Wedding Wire, Yelp, The Knot, and even looked for photographers from two wedding expos around the LA/OC area to try and keep the wedding costs down and also to find a quality photographer who could capture the special moments of our engagement photo session as well as our big day. There were photographers out there that used too much Photoshop or made the photos too unrealistic, but that is not Erich's style. We finally settled on Erich Chen Photography because his photos are bright and natural looking. We liked his funny personality, and was a good value as well. We had also previously seen his work at other friends' weddings, and were comfortable with his photography style. On our wedding day, Erich and Alyssa did such a phenomenal job. We started with the first look shots, then wedding party shots, couple shots, and also individual shots. Erich and Alyssa were so quick at getting us ready, prepping us with fun things to do, and all of the photos turned out great. At the ceremony, because we did not have a videographer, we relied on the photographer to get the whole moment and feelings captured in pictures and Erich was able to get all of it. At the reception, even though we had a winter wedding and the sun went down quite quickly, Erich's photos came out bright and crisp. We were extremely happy with the photos that day and couldn't ask for anything better. Our friends and family were ecstatic on how well the photos turned out, capturing the fun and happy and positive energy that day. read more

Erich is really good in what he does. I was very satisfied with his professionalism and talent. My sister and I were impressed by how he captured many precious, candid reactions that are forever memorable. He was a pleasure to work with and I'm glad that I chose him to be my wedding photographer. I was satisfied with the style, lighting, and quality of the photos. Today, I received the personalized wedding box with the usb drive, photo prints, and a card inside. I was blown away by the classy style and high quality of the box and the items inside! Thank you, Erich, for making me VERY happy! THANK YOU, Erich!!! read more

We are so happy we were able to get Erich to shoot our family photos. We actually wanted him to shoot our wedding photos back in 2014 but he was already booked. When looking through his portfolio I loved how he was able to capture those candid shots and how natural all the pictures looked. I also loved how easy it was to work with Erich. I was very indecisive on the location and Didn't really know what I wanted. He gave us some suggestions and worked with us on where to shoot. When we met with him he made it so comfortable and not awkward at all. He was also doing everything possible to make our daughter smile and laugh. The end results were amazing. We are so happy with the pictures! read more
