Justin was rude and unprofessional. I didn't like how he talked down to me. There's a big lack of professionalism and customer service on his end. I don't recommend him at all. There are tons of other talented photographers who are humble, gracious and know how to treat their customers. read more

We booked Justin Element and his team for videography for our May 2020 wedding, which ended up getting postponed twice. Luckily, they were so easy-going with the postponements and were available for those dates, so we didn't have to look elsewhere for another vendor. My husband was very impressed with their video editing styles that we knew we had to book them. I loved their photo editing styles as well, but our venue already provided us with a photography team, so we ended up opting for an engagement session add-on as a compromise. Justin was so accommodating and patient with all of our questions and requests, and was easy to work with! We ended up having our engagement session July 2020, in the middle of the pandemic and everything was still closed. Crazy enough, we just went back to the same area recently, and my husband was surprised how it was completely empty when we had our shoot there. Justin got us our pictures back pretty quickly, and they turned out amazing!! I was a little tired from all of the running around, so I didn't look as nice later on during the session, but Justin did the best he could, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome!! Our wedding ended up being in September 2021, and before our big day, Justin had a meeting with us to go over everything and answered any questions that we've had. He was well-organized and helped eased our worries! On the day of the wedding, we met Justin's team: Marvin, Christopher, and Dominique. They were amazing and shot anything and everything that they could! We loved that we were able to see the raw footage because some of the moments captured were very memorable to us! We opted for the same-day edit, because at the time we booked them, we were going to show the video during a banquet reception (that got canceled due to the pandemic), so they worked endlessly trying to edit to be able to showcase the video at the end of the night. The video turned out very well, and even our DJ, who has editing background, was very impressed as well! My mother in law loved it so much that, for weeks after our wedding, she was still showing it to everybody she knew that couldn't attend the wedding. We got our Extended Highlight film about a month or so later, and absolutely loved it!! Thank you so much Dominique for shooting and editing our videos!! My husband loves her editing style and were glad to hear that she was able to come out and edit our video! Thank you Marvin and Christopher for your cinematography skills and capturing all of the memorable (and not so memorable) moments! It was so nice to have one last "goodbye" to this amazing team at the end of the night, when most of our vendors and guests have left! Seriously, I couldn't have asked for a more better videography team than Justin Element's team. Thank you for being part of our big day! Last but not least, thank you Justin, for shooting our engagement session! It was an amazing shoot that we'd never forget, from your lovely assistant/wife, to those painful blisters from the heels that I wore halfway through the shoot; it was all worth it! The outcome came out so beautifully that we have some of them printed on canvases and are displayed around our home! Thank you for all of the coordination for that shoot, as well as with your videography team for our wedding. All in all, this team is A-MAZING and I'd highly recommend them if you're looking for photo/video for your engagement/wedding!! My husband, to this day, still raves about Justin and how he wants to hire him for photo shoots! We haven't come across anyone else who's so talented and creative as Justin (and his team)! read more

THE BEST TEAM! We hired Justin Element's Videography team pre-COVID for our original wedding in March 2020. We've all heard the story of postponed weddings so I won't go into too much detail but Justin and his team were AMAZING. So professional, understanding, and completely flexible! We changed our date a billion times (exaggeration) but his team was behind us 100% of the way. Fast forward to August 28, 2021. We FINALLY had our wedding (well, anniversary - microwedding was held in 2020). Marvin, Divesh, and Enoch were the dream team! They made my husband and I, and our whole wedding party feel so comfortable in front of the camera and heeded to our every whim (funny TikTok, veil in the wind, table greetings, etc.). They helped us feel more relaxed throughout the day with their jokes and funny senses of humor. Such wonderful men and we are so thankful to them for making our bad*ss wedding highlight! We love it so much! I highly recommend Justin Element and his team for your next event. You won't be disappointed!!! read more

Justin Element and his team are no doubt one of the most organized, thought-through, and enjoyable teams to work with. We planned a micro-wedding during the pandemic, so most of our requests weren't very conventional, we wanted lots of candid shots. We are happy to say that we have amazing pictures that we will cherish for years! Justin was very attentive and went above and beyond to prepare and get some ideas for the big day. We got married at the Ritz Carlton Santa Barbara, Bacara and the team was able to capture such beautiful shots. The entire team is fantastic to work with and made us feel very comfortable. The photos came out beautifully, and was sent to us in a timely manner. Highly recommend purchasing the digital album,too! read more

Justin's videography team is hands-down THE BEST!! Leading up to the big day, Justin was extremely responsive, organized, and ensured he fully understood our style. On the day of our wedding, Justin's team was phenomenal. My husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera, but his team made it so much fun and effortless. They truly felt like family by the end of our wedding. When we received our wedding video, my husband and I were beaming from ear to ear. They did such an amazingly at capturing our special day! To be able to relive our wedding, feelings and all, through a video is truly a special gift. We cannot thank Justin and his team enough for this treasure. read more

Justin and his team are AMAZING!! My husband and I met Justin back in 2011 at a Clara C concert and, in true businessman fashion, he eventually pulled out his business cards so that we could take one. We were immediately impressed that he had a variety of business cards with different wedding pictures as backgrounds. This was so cool and innovative to me and I always kept this in mind as the years flew by, even though I didn't really have marriage on my mind. As we began to plan our wedding, we were actually about to book my husband's friend as our photographer, but she ended up being busy on our wedding day. Justin and his business cards instantly came to mind and I proceeded to reach out to him and he was still available! We actually met with Justin to go over everything and we ended up spending 3-4 hours just talking to him and his fiance about a lot of non-wedding things! The pricing was a big portion of our budget, but we were confident that Justin and his team would be completely worth it! We swapped out our engagement session for a pre-wedding photography session which I wore my wedding dress to and were able to use the pictures throughout our wedding banquet. It was such a beautiful and personal touch to our banquet! Justin has a creative eye and pushes you outside your comfort zone to capture the perfect image. He is also is very responsive and professional! Exactly the type of person you want running the show! Especially since this is one of the few things you'll walk away with from your wedding. The photography and videography work speak for themselves - they're obviously AMAZING! What you can't tell from pictures and videos is the A-team service and the fact that they're all connected to communications to coordinate every part of your day. read more

Justin Element Photography - Downtown Anaheim - Magical! - Photographers Near Me - Anaheim, California

We had the pleasure of having the crew of Justin Element Photography shoot our wedding. Credit to them since it was a monumental task to shoot our large wedding with multiple things going on throughout the morning and night. All of which they handled with aplomb. They were very easy going and a lot of fun to work with and felt right at home with our wedding party. Several weeks later the photos we got back were stunning. Justin and Kevin pride themselves on having a keen eye for lighting and it really shows on our Wedding Photos. I will happy to refer them to anyone for photography needs and will be returning anytime I need a Photographer. read more

It was such a pleasure to have the crew at JustinElement involved with our wedding. Justin took our engagement photos and Wedding photos. Kevin shot our wedding video (amazing). Justin will give you the shirt off his back...literally. He wanted to get a shot of us on a bench and took of his shirt to lay on the bench so we wouldn't get dirty. Engagement shoot...got us to loosen up. Wedding shoot, they brought an army of six and managed to stay unobtrusive. Not to mention the fact that everyone is young, energetic, and at the same time respectful, and of course creative. I hope to involve these guys once we get to maternity photos, baby photos, family photos, and whatever else comes up in the future if they'll have us! We loved our vendors, but loved the team at JustinElement the most. Justin, Kevin, Gaby, Glenn, and all the rest. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts! read more

Justin and his team are amazing!! Justin met with us multiple times prior to our wedding, making sure that he understood what we wanted and discussing various ideas/schedules. He was always happy to meet our requests, even if we were maybe a bit picky. Communication was always clear, and he was happy to take as much time as we needed to coordinate everything. Then on the big day, we had Justin and Glenn for photography, and Marvin for videography. All 3 of them were such fun people to be around -- which is so important, since they were by our side for nearly the entire wedding day!! They laughed and socialized alongside our family and friends, taking pics/video the whole time, and making sure we were comfortable in front of the camera. Then after the wedding, they got all the editing done ahead of schedule, and we are so happy with how the photos and highlight video turned out! So much content, too. Justin has a very bright and creative style that's a bit different than most wedding photographers, but it was exactly what we were looking for. And the raw footage is fantastic as well! There's a LOT of it, and you need to be patient when sorting through, but there were some real gems in there. It's such a special feeling to be able to relive so many candid little clips from our very best day. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. read more

This is a videography review, although I have no doubts that their photography is on point as well. My wife and I fell upon JustinElement Photography through my wife's sister (and Maid of Honor), who knew of Justin from college. We had been looking for videographers for our wedding and to be quite honest, we were not sure about JustinElement. They were actually our second choice, but after seeing some negtive reviews and seeing first-hand the kind of customer service our first choice was giving our cousins, we opted for JustinElement and we should have had them first on our list from the get-go. Our wedding was in the SF Bay Area, and Justin and crew, based in LA, could only meet with us via video conference. After some email correspondence (that was very prompt), we scheduled a he initial interview turned into a 2+ hour long brainstorm and chat session. We learned that Justin was booked for photography already on our date, and the had a new lead videographer, Dominique (or Dom) would be taking care of us. At that time, she had not had too much practice at Same Day Edit videos, but would have had about a dozen under her belt by the time our wedding came around. We were anxious, but optimistic. Thank goodness for Dom! There is definitely a reason her title is "videographer-senpai!" Dom is a pleasure to work with and accommodated our every request. Honestly, we were pretty harsh at first, saying we did not like her editing style and preferred a more simple, less indie approach. She admitted it was a bit hard to adapt at first, but we could not have been happier with the final result. Dominique was super easy to communicate with on emails and on Skype and the same is true of her crew. Speaking of her crew, we need to shout out Ilja, Lou and Chad who were our shooters for the day. Ilja and Chad were with the groomsmen and Dom and Lou were with the bridesmaids. I have nothing but great things to say about the crew. From what I saw, they worked brilliantly in conjunction with our photographers. They were all friendly, but professional. It was clear they were all excited about their work, dedicated to the creative to the end. Thank you again to Justin, Dom and the whole team! You helped make our wedding day so much more magical! -Cheryl and Nick (at last!) Final note: if you don't believe me... just watch: https://vimeo.com/142790774 read more

If you are looking for a videography team for your wedding, LOOK NO FURTHER! Dominique (Justin's lead videographer) is amazing! She really pushes her creativity and talent in her wedding video edits. She is also so nice and professional to work with via email and in person. I had the pleasure of also getting to work with Justin at my wedding and our wedding party loved him! He was so fun and personable. We had the best time working with this company. It felt like we invited friends to our wedding..! read more

You can't go wrong with Justin Element and his team!! We had photography/videography and we can't wait to see both! We literally just got married last Sat. They were on time, and professional! With having 7 bridesmaids, 7 groomsmen, parents, and 3 pairs of primary sponsors, jr. bridesmaid, and a ring bearer, in our wedding, they had so much patience with us. They knew all the good spots for photos around our venue. The entire team were so easy going and not to mention funny! They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I can't compliment them enough! You would have to see for yourselves! You won't be disappointed! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Justin Element for both our small and big wedding celebrations. We could not be any happier with all the amazing pictures that they took for both events. Justin and his team are so easy to work with and so much fun to be around. Because of our unique situation of having two weddings, Justin created a customized package for us that fit our budget. He even went out of his way to shoot an engagement session for us despite his busy schedule and without us asking him to do one. Justin has one of the most amazing abilities to find those special moments in a crazy, hectic wedding day and somehow catch it perfectly on film. We have so many beautiful pictures that we can't even begin to decide which ones to enlarge. All our family and friends have asked about Justin, and we are absolutely happy to recommend him to anyone who is looking for a fun, creative, and professional photographer. read more

The moment we saw Justin's work 4 years ago, we knew we wanted to hire him. And we are so glad we did. Justin was so professional throughout our entire wedding planning process. He went above and beyond what a photographer should do. He's so amazing, quick to respond to all our questions and concerns (this is so hard to find in a vendor cause I think all vendors are shady).. And he's just all around a nice guy and easy to work with. If you look at his photos and wonder why all his bride and grooms look so happy and easy going.. It's cause they are! When we worked with Justin it was easy and FUN. And he really captures the moments... Even if it's difficult shots or a difficult situation, Justin will find a way to capture the best photos. He is worth every penny. For all the future brides out there... Hire a photographer that is easy to work with and has the best quality work. And that's Justin element!! read more
