My husband and I live in the Bay area and got married in Long Beach, so we had to do most of our wedding planning from a distance, which makes it hard to choose vendors. We got extremely lucky when we found Lightbox.
Michael, Jocelyn, and their team are truly caring and made us feel like family. Their professionalism and customer service are impeccable and excelled far beyond our expectations! We had a two day wedding (Khmer and Western) and they were there for us every step of the way!
Invitations: Jocelyn was so patient and helpful as I went through every single invitation design they had. She helped me find the perfect one. Not only did they have them ready way ahead of schedule, they had hand folded all 200 of them and placed in them in the envelopes for us!
Engagement Photos: We had engagement photos taken in their studio as well as an outdoor shoot that lasted the entire day to ensure that we had both quality and quantity photos to choose from. Michael and Kevin made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera (I usually freeze up) and helped us get creative and fun with different poses. We never felt rushed. They enlarged our selections, provided custom framing as well as a signature frame for our guests to sign at the wedding.
Khmer and Western wedding Photos: The team had to have taken 10,000 photos at the very least. They captured every single smile, laugh, and moment perfectly. It's an understatement to say that this team has endurance. Our guest even commented on how impressed they were by our photographers! What was great was that we were given all the pictures electronically and allowed to choose the ones we liked to be printed out and organized in an album for us. They also provided a flesh mounted album, which was designed beautifully!
Wedding Favors: The Lightbox team also took pictures of my husband and I with all the guests at our venue, had them printed out and handed to all our guests as wedding favors by the end of the night. Wow!
Videography: We sat down to watch it for the first time the other night The final product blew our minds! Not only did the team capture all 20 hours of the events, they edited, added music and even created a 15 minute highlight trailer on blue-ray discs for us.
Looking back, the wedding flew by way too fast and I always hear people say how much they regret either not having a good photographer or a videographer.
We were lucky to have both. Their hard work, attention to detail, calm presence, and technical skills truly captured the essence of our wedding and preserved the memories of such a special whirlwind event for us. We are forever grateful and highly recommend them for any occasion. read more
