I discovered Khoa shortly after I got engaged in 2019. I was scrolling through Facebook & saw on my…read morefeed that a college friend had posted some engagement photos. I saw Khoa was located in SoCal, but I was located in NorCal. I emailed him inquiring about his accessibility to the DLR (we are huge fans). He responded quickly and scheduled a video consultation. Meeting Khoa in person for the first time on the day of my engagement shoot was absolutely perfect. My then fiancé and I basically spent the entire time riding rides, eating, laughing, and having a good time. We felt so comfortable around Khoa and I couldn't believe how well we all got along. I hired Khoa this year to do my "minimony" aka small wedding ceremony photos. I remember as I sat in the chair for my hair & makeup, he brought us all some food in case we were hungry. Super thoughtful and sweet. We did encounter a few hiccups in the engagement & minimony shoots, but they shouldn't be a focal point of this review because Khoa DELIVERED. He created beautiful memories with amazing quality. We even ordered a 40" x 60" HD sublimation print of one of his shots and hung it up in our living room. It is absolutely breathtaking. Art. It's taken me so long to write this review because I can't really put into words how much I've enjoyed Khoa's work professionally, and most importantly, how well my husband and I connected with him!!! Khoa is everything I've hoped and dreamed of in a photographer. He is compassionate, hard-working, and creative. He's quirky, friendly, funny, stylish, and reminds me of an Asian Johnny Depp. Don't hesitate to hire him - you'll be in good hands. And if you're lucky like me, you'll also gain a good friend.

We've taken family photos with Kaysha twice and both times the photos turned out phenomenally!…read more I love how both easy going and detail oriented Kaysha is. You always know exactly what to expect at your session and she even provides helpful guides on picking out outfits. Once there, Kaysha immediately puts you at ease and is especially great at working with kids. She gives great direction so all the poses feel very natural and we were blown away at the number of great shots she was able to get at our hour long session as well as 15-minute mini session. The pictures came very quickly with guides about how to print out and download them. Would highly recommend!

Working with Kaysha was an absolute dream! I came to her with a short timeline and a very specific…read morevision of what I wanted for my brand photos. I was in the middle of a rebrand and redesigning my website when I realized it was time to invest in brand photography. I was met with the smoothest client process where I felt taken care of from inquiry to photo delivery. I reached out to several photographers and before I heard back from any of them, I had already had my consultation call with Kaysha and booked my session. That spoke volumes to me and I couldn't wait to work with her! Kaysha was full of ideas for locations and how we could achieve the vision I had. I originally booked the Starting Out package and ended up adding on more time. The shoot flew by and we got so many great shots, I cannot wait to splurge on the half-day session next time. She took the time to understand my business, my ideal clients, how I wanted to be perceived, and how I could illustrate my expertise as a business owner through these photos. Not only is Kaysha professional, experienced and so talented, she comes to the session with the most incredible energy you need to feel your best and get the photos you dream of. I felt so comfortable in front of the camera despite my initial nerves and not knowing how to pose. Kaysha is the hype woman we all need and brought me completely out of my shell! I have truly never felt better about myself, my branding shoot was beyond anything I could have imagined. While I was doing outfit changes, Kaysha shot all of my detail photos. I was shocked to see how much she was able to capture while I wasn't even there when my gallery was delivered! I am eternally grateful for my time with Kaysha, I cannot wait to work with her again in the future!

Sophie was the main coordinator and she answered emails and questions quickly. Communication was thorough. We request Vuong to be our main photographer and we are so glad we did. The wedding packages were affordable and offered more perks compared to other places (such as photo album, printed photo frames to be displayed on wedding day, etc). They even gave us all of our photos from both sessions in jpeg and raw format, so that was a plus. Both days were easy and smooth. I was nervous about posing and what to do, but the photographer and his assistants knew what they were doing and led the photoshoot. They told us what to do, where to look, and what to do with our hands. Everything came out perfect and I highly recommend them!

Vuong and Sophie were easy to communicate with and were very flexible with our busy work schedules and got the pre-wedding photos and large frame picture done in a timely manner. On our wedding, Kim's team helped made the day smooth and were always ready for photos (we were the disorganized party, oops) and were receptive to any ideas we give them. My vest fitted badly because I did not adjust them correctly but once they saw how misaligned it was they helped me fix it and retook the photos before the mistake was noticed. Overall I would highly recommend their team and the videography team as they work nicely together.

Our wedding was only a few hours long but at the end of Ziad had made friends with our family and friends in the process of taking pictures, which just set such a calm and enjoyable mood for the whole event.

My wife and I received services from MoAE Story for our engagement and wedding pictures. We first…read moremet at their studio for a consultation and were very easy to work with and explain our vision. Our first shoot was at San Juan Capistrano for Engagement Pictures. They were punctual, professional, extremely patient and courteous, and guided us throughout the entire day. The photos came out great, a few weeks before our wedding, so we were able to use them in a slideshow at our reception. For the day of the wedding, again they showed up right when expected, with plenty of gear and energy for the long day ahead. They were never in the way throughout the ceremony and reception, but knew exactly when to step in and suggest certain shots and locations. Having shot at the Hacienda in Santa Ana a week or two before was to our benefit as they knew about some hidden spots to take great pics. Within a month we received a TON of pictures on a 16GB Flash Drive and it was great relieving the moments again. We would recommend MoAE Story to anyone looking for sweet yet professional, talented and hard-working photographers in Orange County.

This review is way beyond past overdue. And normally I'd be too busy (lazy) to post a review about…read morean overdue experience, but I must share how wonderful Moae Photography is. Moae Photography took my son O's 1st Birthday photos last year. I wish I remembered his name (Moae's husband)....but it's a husband/wife team of really friendly, talented photographers. To be honest, I don't even recall how I found them in the first place. I blame momnesia. They both met us at Katie Wheeler Library in Irvine on a ridiculously hot day last September. O did not walk back then, so we had to hold that little sucker the entire shoot. And I'll be the first one to admit - my firstborn was/is not the calmest, gentlest, easiet baby. I think he cried 80% of the shoot. Mr. Moae was behind the camera that day. Moae was there to help out. Despite an uncooperative baby and weather, Mr. Moae was so x 100 friendly, patient, kind, and Moae tried anything and everything to make O smile (more like stop crying). They brought all the props necessary and albeit the library is tiny but they knew all the right places to go to for the best photos. Mr. Moae came to O's birthday party a few weeks after this outdoor shoot and he did an amzaing job there, too. I think he stayed longer than he was contracted to and I remember him being professional and friendly the entire time. Now this is where the real review begins.... Since O's first birthday, I had a second baby. Don't get me wrong. Mr. Moae was really good. Our outdoor and party photos came out great. But recently, Moae herself took my second son G's 100 day photos. And I'm just being honest since this is an honest review, but I think she's better than her hubs. (Gawd, I hope I don't cause World War III in their household but being honest never hurt, right?) They are both unbelievably patient and friendly. But I think her photos are even better. So I truly think they (she) deserves a review now. We didn't plan on doing 100 day photos for G. But with G completing our family - our bare walls deserved a photo or two of us. I didn't hesitate about which photographer I should contact. With a tight budget (a new house, another baby...we were getting robbed every month), I knew Moae Photography's prices were reasonable, if not the best bang for our buck. I didn't know it was going to be Moae herself this time around until we showed up for the session. (And my choice to book them was soley based on her husband's work last year, so I'm not lying...he's really great too! **my guilty conscience..) Moae offered a complimentary outdoor shoot along with the studio session. Can I just say - their studio is just too cute! And the package was only for 40 photos but we recently received the file of all of the phtoos and she took waaay more! And the package was really for G, but it ended up being a family photo session, and I'm sure taking photos of four is much more difficult than taking photos of just one 3 month old. This day was stinkin' hot, too! And did I mention, my firstborn O, is not the most cooperative child? As if he needed to prove he's the same boy from last year's photo session, this day, he was just as uncooperative. Not crying this time around but running off, not wanting to sit for pictures, wanting to get into and touch anything and everything in sight. But somehow, Moae was able to capture the most amazing shots. Watching my rambunctious toddler made me tired. I kept wanting to call it a day, but she kept coming up with a different location, different poses, different shots. I coudln't believe how patient and professional she was. Her photos of O make him look like was an angel that day. God is fair, because my second son G, truly was an angel that day. Moae took the cutest photos of G and I couldn't be more grateful. I would highly recommend Moae to anyone out there looking to do a baby/family photo shoot. Her prices are unbeatable. Her studio is to die for. She is so gentle and friendly with the little ones. Most importantly...her work is amazing! I know there are tons of photoraphy offers/specials that pop up on livingsocial / groupon / yelp, but I didn't want to fall for those deals only to get pressured to buy prints or get jipped on limited number of photos, time, and attention. There is none of that with Moae. Without a doubt, I will be contacting her again for G's 1st birthday early next year!

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.
