    at Rancho Palos Verdes
    Paul L.

    They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If that proverbial expression is true, a good photographer is worth a THOUSAND GRATITUDE. Before reaching out to Kwon, we browsed through many different galleries by different photographers. Some great and some not so of our taste. Eventually, we narrowed it down to two vendors. Initially, what we liked about Kwon's work was the natural emotions shown in the photos. He has a subtle feel for capturing your biggest natural asset, and we were hoping that same type of work would carry over to our engagement and wedding shoot. We selected two locations, Mission San Juan Capistrano and Victoria Beach, for our ENGAGEMENT shoot. Kwon did a fabulous job guiding us on how to pose, smile, and exaggerate our looks. From mid-afternoon to the break of sunset, he was working in every angle possible to get the best shots. Of the two, my favorite photography site was Victoria Beach. Something about photography during sunset makes the mood romantic and beautiful. Our wedding venue was in Rancho Palos Verdes, and we could not have picked a worse time than the day of our wedding. Unfortunately, gusty wind from the ocean made the setting challenging to shoot and the evening to be frigid cold. However, Kwon braved the condition and delivered impressive photos for our day. I am so glad that we went with Kwon and undeniably with NO REGRETS as our photographer for our special moment.

    We just had our wedding this past April and booked Kwon for both our engagement and wedding photos and we were so impressed by his work! We opted for a package deal including engagement + wedding photos with a second shooter for 8 hours day of. For our engagement shoot, it ended up raining so we had to cut our session short but Kwon was so understanding and offered to reschedule another session whenever we were available at no additional cost. Our engagement photos were stunning and I was so thankful we had Kwon directing and posing us. My husband and I are terrible at posing since we tend to feel unnatural, but Kwon made the entire process so much easier and much more comfortable. For our wedding day, Kwon was able to capture every moment perfectly. We are absolutely in love with our wedding photos. He was able to capture all of the little details and memorable moments. Not to mention, we got our photos less than a month from our wedding day, so quick! He is super responsive, very friendly, and just amazing to work with. Thank you so much again, Kwon!

    Kwon was our wedding photographer this past February, and we could not have asked for a better experience. We were a bit nervous because we didn't have our engagement shoot with him, so our wedding day was the first time we met him in person. Kwon was super friendly and easy to get along with! He arrived early, got set up, and started getting to work immediately. He made us camera-shy people feel very comfortable in front of the camera. He gave clear directions and suggestions for poses, including a lot of fun and creative ones! He was also very good working with my awkward Korean parents and even made them laugh candidly for many of the photos, which came out beautifully :) Kwon also knew which moments to capture during the ceremony & reception, so the coverage of the photos was amazing (even while working as a solo photographer!). Kwon delivered sneak peek photos within two days of our wedding, and provided the rest of our wedding album in less than one month! We are obsessed with how all the photos turned out. Thank you, Kwon!!

    When we first met Kwon over video chat, we already felt comfortable communicating with each other and we knew that it would be a great fit for us to have him be our photographer for our engagement shoot and wedding day. From the beginning, Kwon had been informative and helpful in providing us great options to take our photos for our engagement shoot. We were definitely nervous at first since we are not great at posing and taking pictures. Kwon was very professional and experienced and knew all the right poses and angles and just super easy going to make us feel comfortable during the whole process. On the wedding day, Kwon and his assistant were punctual and ready to go with the timeline of photos and even provided great suggestions for how we were going to do the first look and photos during reception with the everyone. He was well liked by all of our family and friends and the outcome of the photos were beautiful. We were on time and even had a little break before the ceremony. We are happy and satisfied with the excellent service and professionalism he provided and would highly recommend to anyone out there!

    Kwon was an amazing photographer for our wedding. He accommodated us and was super flexible during Covid. I had a coworker who had him shoot her engagement and wedding and she referred Kwon to us! My only regret is not doing our engagement photos with him... We visited his office in Fullerton and he gave us a rundown of the different packages and his work. We decided on a package that we wanted and reserved the date for our wedding. We had a small ceremony and he captured all the moments. We didn't have a videographer but Kwon captured every detail (even the play by play of the tears rolling down my cheeks! haha!!). Even if you don't have a separate videographer for your wedding, Kwon will capture every special and important moment as if you're not missing anything out! We were so happy with how our pictures turned out. We're hoping we to have Kwon shoot any future photography services like our future baby's 100 day birthday! Thank you again Kwon for everything and being so accommodating. We really appreciate having you shoot our wedding!

    As always.. Kwon was AMAZING to work with. This was our 2nd time. Our family photos came out more beautiful than I could have imagined. He worked so hard to make our kid smile & laugh w funny noises, bubbles, etc. It's a very difficult job trying to do that for 2+ hours but the photos show the work. I'll always come back to Kwon for all my family photos. He asked for my timeline for photos and I told him I'd like to send out holiday cards in time. He did his best and delivered when he said he would. Man of his word. :) See you in a year along with the entire fam!

    Kwon was wonderful and patient for our daughters first birthday party. Our cranky little girl did not smile once for him, but he did such an amazing job capturing candid moments from the party. He was attentive to record precious moments with our family, friends and even our fur baby! Definitely recommend!

    Kwon was highly recommend by the church I had my ceremony and I'm so glad I took their advice. Kwon was absolutely professional, kind and went above and beyond! My party commented how kind he was and he definitely is. Thank you Kwon for the amazing pictures you took of me and my husband, you deserve every positive review here.

    We can't say enough great things about KWON!! We just got our photos back and we are obsessed. We definitely got more photos back than we hoped for and loved every single one. He was able to capture all the details we wanted! His edits were so light, airy and romantic. Kwon was very professional and arrived on time on wedding day. He was great at directing us and telling us how to pose. We can tell he is a perfectionist and wants to get every detail right. We was so nice and friendly! He kept us on schedule and the day went by so smoothly. Overall we had a great experience with Kwon and would definitely recommend. He exceeded all of our expectations!! XOXO

    Irin Studio Photography - 100th day studio session

    Irin Studio Photography

    (328 reviews)

    You know a photographer seriously wants to capture the best pictures of your baby if they want you…read moreto come back when baby is fed, well slept, and happy. For some reason things just didn't align well with my baby's naps and feedings that day so it was hard to manage a tired baby but they managed to get real good photos of my baby and the family. My baby didn't really smile much yet but they were still able to get smiling pictures of her too. Very professional and works so hard to get the best pictures. I was truly grateful for this studio and loved my experience. Also the picture quality was amazing!! The backgrounds were cute and the clothes were so adorable too!! The price point is reasonable and I'd say cheaper than some others for a better quality. I think the turn around time to receive the photos were faster than we expected too. Truly appreciate working with this photographer. He really seems to love what he does and we are blessed with these amazing photos!!! Couple things to note/tips: 1. Go when your baby can smile. Yes after their neck strength gets way better too. My baby still can't really smile yet and she's 4 months old. I really wanted to push having 100 day photos when she was 3.5 months old so neck strength and expressions aren't expected. 1a. Also go when your baby is well fed, pooped, rested, good condition, etc. makes a world of difference. 2. They give you a looooot of photos to choose from. Be prepared to be pleasantly overwhelmed with photos. If you get decision fatigue then ask your spouse to help. Cause I loved getting the full gamut of photos. 3. They have a wardrobe but if you want your baby to wear something specific, bring it! Their wardrobe is pretty cute tho and fits with their backgrounds. 4. They have set backgrounds to choose from in their studio. The backgrounds are really cute but if you're looking for something specific, unique, tailored to you, the studio setting might not be for you. But tbh all 100 day, dohl, event photos basically look the same...so I would think it's odd to expect something different. I've seen tons of beach engagement pics. Tons of dohl pics with the same backgrounds and balloons. So why complain about a studio pic with similar styles and backgrounds or lack of variety? You're already the unique and different baby/family. So there's that. 5. Bring a toy or something that can get your baby's attention. I realized belatedly my baby likes to stare at herself in the mirror. She also likes her little fox doll. If your baby has a preference for a toy, perhaps being prepared like that will help with the experience! 6. Match your clothes with your family and partner beforehand. Clothes, accessories and shoes too so they look cohesive in the photos! Belatedly realized my husband's shoes didn't match any of our family's and my son's also seemed a little too bright. Oh well. Overall I loved the photos! Thank you again for the awesome and kind experience!!!

I reached out to him on Facebook Messenger and he was very responsive and flexible in helping me customize a package that worked for my wedding day. Since I planned my wedding without a coordinator, he was very helpful in giving suggestions for the timeline. He showed up promptly and caught so many AMAZING candids as well as posed shots. He gave clear and specific instructions on how to pose and helped rally people for photos which was very much appreciated throughout the hectic day. He delivered more photos than I was expecting and they're GORGEOUS and allow me to relive my wedding day! If you're on the fence about getting videography - DON'T BE!

We first came here for my baby's 100-day photoshoot (full set), and we were extremely pleased with the results. The photos were beautifully done, timeless, and very high quality, which is why we didn't hesitate to come back again. We recently returned for my daughter's 2-year-old photoshoot, and this session was particularly challenging because she's currently in a strong stranger-danger phase. Other studios actually turned us away, but White Photo Studio was the complete opposite. The photographer was incredibly patient, calm, and understanding, and allowed us to take over two hours so my daughter could slowly get comfortable. There was absolutely no rushing. The photographer tried different approaches--introducing multiple toys, giving my daughter space and time, and eventually using bubbles, which finally helped her relax and open up. That level of patience and experience with young children truly made all the difference, and we ended up with photos we absolutely love. The studio itself is very spacious, with a wide variety of beautiful scene setups and props. They also have an amazing selection of high-quality baby dresses and accessories, which made styling effortless and elevated the final photos even more. If you're looking for a studio that genuinely understands children, respects their pace, and delivers beautiful results, White Photo Studio is absolutely worth it. We're so grateful for the care and professionalism they showed our family and will definitely be coming back again.

The parking lot is consistently busy, so finding a spot can be a hit or miss. Ambiance/Environment: The studio is located inside the AR Gallery. Once you enter the AR Gallery, you'll see the studio on your right. They have an extremely small space with two rooms. One room features white walls, and the other room features colored backgrounds. There's many props from headbands and hats to chairs and stools and more! Some props can use a cleaning, but you can't really see it in the photos. Service: I decided to do a walk-in, so I didn't book an appointment or prepay online. They only take walk-ins starting at 11:30. They're not busy on weekdays but busier during the weekends. I completely forgot his name, but the worker that checked me in was nice, efficient, and knowledgable about the offerings. They provide a large screen with gridlines, lighting, and a small remote. They'll give you a timer, so you'll know exactly how much time you have left during your session. Studio Session & Photos: I chose the 5 minute session with the colored background. You'd choose two colors out of five options. Since I chose the colored walls, let the worker know when you're ready to switch colors. They'll pause the timer, switch the background, and continue the timer. The small remote is easy to hide in the photos. The lighting is perfect, and the photos came out amazing! Pricing: All details and prices are on their website. It's easy to book an appointment online. Since my birthday was three days away, the worker gave me a 10% discount. They also offer other discounts. All details are listed on their website. Highly recommend this studio!

Some backstory...Imagix/Michelle has done our yearly photos for our son from ages 1 to now 5. (See my past reviews). From somehow capturing a perfect moment from our perpetually moving blur of a son (ages 1-3) to patiently instructing four 70/80 year olds on how to hold their aforementioned 4 year old Tasmanian Devil grandson last year, Michelle is a magician/artist...I always leave the photoshoot stressed from the chaos Hurricane Daniel (our son) leaves in his wake....But every year we come back to look at the proofs and are amazed at Michelle ability to capture "lighting in a bottle" . This year was no different. Fortunately we survived the terrible 2's (...3's....4's....) and thanks to time, maturity, and the opposite of gentle parenting, our little Daniel, though far from perfect, is manageable. But we didn't want to make it too easy for Michelle, so we threw in another variable. After a recent canine cancer scare, and recently learning from Google that all dogs, however loyal and cute, unfortunately have an inescapable life, span, I somehow convinced my beautiful but camera shy wife that this is the year we do a family photo with our dog. Some more backstory, if you read this far, our Yorkie, Libby, loves us but HATES the rest of the world. She spent the entire hour photoshoot in perpetual scowl and Volume 11 non stop bark. One week later as she always does, lighting in a bottle perfection. I looked at the proofs with amazement. Our son, we expected....she's done it every year, but how she made a loud perpetual yapping bark into a impossibly cute smile is above my skill set. But I think her greatest feat is how she lessened the "he must be rich" looks gap between my wife and I. My wife is easy, even me with my amateur Android skills, it's hard for her to take a bad picture. Michelle mastery came with how she elevated me to "he must be funny" looks gap level. So why the tear? We loved one of the pics so much we purchased a large framed canvas print to hang on our living room wall. My 85 year old happened to be in town for his grandsons 5th bday so I asked him for an helping hand hanging the picture. I figured he has these family portrait hanging at my childhood home. My brother and I with our full head of hair and my mom shoulder pads captured the 90's to a tee...but what I always remember is the "proud" look my dad had on his face. A look of accomplishment shouting "look at me world and all that I love and created". Watching my aging dad struggle, listing to my aging dog bark in a locked room to protect my dad's ankles, I was suddenly reminded that time, as much as you want to hit pause, always moves forward. It's a good idea to stop and smell the roses, or in this case, look at the snapshot/memories/moments and take it all in. After my dad handed me the leveler and I put away the hammer, and I looked up....and yeah....I had that "Dad" look
