We had such a great experience working with Emil for our wedding! He photographed both our pre-wedding couple's shoot at Pasadena City Hall and our wedding ceremony and reception, and we're so happy with the photos. From the beginning, Emil was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. Neither of us is particularly used to being in front of the camera, but he made the experience comfortable and natural. On our wedding day, he did a wonderful job capturing not only the important moments, but also so many candid shots of our family and friends genuinely enjoying themselves. Looking through the finished gallery and seeing how happy everyone looked brought back so many great memories from the day. We also really appreciated how accommodating Emil was with the specific photos and ideas we wanted to capture, while still using his own experience and creativity throughout the day. We ended up with so many beautiful photos that we'll be able to look back on for years to come. We're very grateful to Emil for helping us document such an important time in our lives and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding or special event. Thank you again, Emil! read more

We can't thank Emil from Gasparian Photography enough for capturing our love so beautifully. Thank you, Emil (@gasparianfoto), for your incredible work! 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! read more

Emil saved the day! Honestly in every way. He first agreed to book me one day prior [super lucky] my brother had a quick wedding because he had little time to come home from deployment. The wedding was very intimate and we didn't have the time to plan ahead. Emil literally made booking with him so easy. The day we meet for the wedding everyone was really nervous since it was the first of our family to get married. He broke the ice and made everyone start enjoying and having fun. He was very helpful on how to pose and gave us great tips and guidance. Even went out of his ways to help us find a great location from the chapel to have different views of backgrounds. Everyone was extremely happy already with his work and then pictures came so fast and every single one was amazing. So yes I highly recomend him, found loyal clients with us thanks Emily. Can't really post any face pictures out of respect for my brother but will post some of the others he took time in detail. read more

Wow! I am so happy with the photos Emil took. We had a backyard Quinceañera for my daughter with lots of family and friends from out of town. He captured not only beautiful shots of her and her court with the backdrops, but beautiful candid shots of everyone and everything he noticed to create memorable moments. Plus, our photos were available on livestream for guests to view throughout the time he was with us. Emil was so accessible and easy to work with. He truly made every effort to capture what was meaningful to us. I'm so glad he was able to capture the moments of this special day. read more

Booked Emil for our son's baptism and cannot recommend him enough. His experience and professionalism was evident immediately. He showed up early and already knew the venue. We were able to take all the pictures we wanted without being rushed. This was a public setting so timing was of the essence as others were also trying to take pictures at the same time. We were able to get ours in before it got crowded and without people in the background. He also made suggestions and was able to show us pictures in real time so he guaranteed the shots we wanted. Also we received our photos the very next day. Very impressive and would absolutely book Emil again. read more

We took 5-10 minutes to go over the vision and inspo photos, and Emil was able to put my vision into the photos. He was very fast in shooting and showed us every photo and asked us for feedback. He's a great listener and was able to shoot what we wanted and not what he thought was "good". The post edit only took 2 days as well.

This photographer has excellent expensive equipment, nice studio. But his skills in photography are poor, low, photos are horrible, underexposed, oversaturated. I think because of that he says "I don't give any guarantee" when he takes your money. He says "I'm just shooting, it's not my problem after, if your task you came to me with gets solved or not." My task was extremely simple, headshot and full body with certain requirements, almost passport photos. This photographer with his expensive stuff couldn't manage even with almost passport photos. They are were not accepted in my application - out of requirements. He didn't solve the simplest task, my goal. His answer is "I've done shots, it's not my problem were they accepted or not". I have to notice, before shooting day I provided him requirements and my goal - photos for online application. If you have an important event, be careful, you will pay and there is no any guarantee or responsibility that you'll get result that you expect. For free - you can try, be or not to be. read more

Gasparian is a great photographer. I like the fact that when he takes pictures they are immediately avaliable online and can be viewed immediately after its taken. He also did a mini photo shoot for me at the wedding I participated in as a brides maid. I was not even the bride but he took out his time to take those pictures and added special effects. He has a great personality and renders great service. I 100% recommend him. read more

I needed corporate professional headshots done for an upcoming conference with a super quick turnaround. Thankfully, Emil at Gasparian Photography was there for me! He was super responsive and helpful when I reached out for a quote, and had very reasonable prices compared to some of the other spots I was considering. He got me in to the studio right away and sent me my pictures by the following morning. Emil was very friendly, professional and patient. I felt at ease during the shoot and Emil asked me questions and gave suggestions along the way to make sure I was getting exactly what I needed. The pictures turned out great, and now I'm just having a hard time picking my favorite one for the conference. Would definitely recommend! Thank you, Emil! read more
