Working with Max and Cath was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first consultation, we could tell they were genuinely kind, good-hearted people. My partner and I aren't used to being in front of the camera, but they made us feel so natural and comfortable throughout the entire process. Cath went above and beyond her role as a photographer--she helped tie the bow on my dress during our engagement shoot and was constantly by my side on the wedding day fixing my hair, dress, and veil. It felt like having a long-time friend there to support me. We also opted for the same-day video edit, and we were absolutely blown away. We couldn't believe how they captured the essence of our day so perfectly in such a short amount of time. Watching it together was a major highlight of the night and brought so many of us to tears. Max and Cath are true experts and highly skilled at what they do. We can't wait to have them capture our family photos in the future! read more

We recently got married at Green Gables and chose to place our trust in Max and Cath to capture our special day. They did not disappoint us! From the very beginning, Max and Cath were transparent with us and genuinely wanted to make sure our special day was a day to remember. They took time to get to know us and ask us what we were looking for in our photos and thoroughly went over with the details of our wedding once we booked with them. They were easy to communicate with and collaborate with as well! I'm very shy when it comes to photos but Max, Cath and their team helped me come out of my shell and were able to take amazing pictures of my husband and me. In addition, they surprised us towards the end of our wedding and showed us a same day edit video that captured all the highlights of our day. It was amazing how they were able to put together such a fun and heart warming video of our day. I've been to a good amount of weddings and I've never seen anything like this! I can't thank you guys enough for capturing such a memorable day for us. If you guys are looking for photographers and videographers for your wedding, you can stop looking now and choose this husband and wife duo! They are the best! read more

We truly could not have asked for a better photography and videography team than Max and Cat. From start to finish, they were absolutely incredible. On the day of the wedding, they were so quick and efficient with photos without ever making us feel rushed. They knew exactly how to guide us, kept everything on schedule, and still made the entire experience feel natural and fun. What stood out the most was how calming and reassuring they were--there was not a single moment where I felt stressed or worried. They created such a safe, comfortable environment that allowed us to fully be ourselves, which made all the difference. Their experience with cultural weddings was also so important to us, and they handled it flawlessly. They understood exactly how to navigate family photos, the dynamics, and the importance behind each shot--doing it all with so much respect and efficiency. And the turnaround time? Unbelievable. We received sneak peeks within just 2 days, and they were stunning. The same-day edit was beyond anything we could have imagined--beautifully done, emotional, and had our friends in tears. Max and Cat are not only talented, but truly care about their couples and their craft. If you're even considering them, don't hesitate--they will exceed every expectation. read more

We first met the sweetest and most amazing couple when we had our engagement photoshoot. The location is at the beach and unfortunately the weather was not cooperating as it was raining and very cloudy. The couple gladly rebooked our photoshoot date so that we can have better photos and capture the beach. Then the wedding day came, and all the pictures are ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! The photographer/s made us feel comfortable, was incredibly organized, and captured our wedding day perfectly. Every important moment and little detail was captured so naturally. Looking through the photos feels like reliving the day all over again. Our wedding photos are more than we ever hoped for. Thank you for such amazing work! Highly recommend! read more

We booked MaxJunioPhotography for our wedding earlier this year and we could not have been more happy with how our wedding photos came out. Max and his wife Cath were without a doubt one of the best wedding vendors we had. They were so fun and pleasant to work with from our very first meeting and all the way until we received our photos. *Meetings and Communication* Max and Cath really try to get to know you and your vision for how you want your photos to turn out. If you are unsure of your photograph style like we were, they give you a lot of examples of their previous work and see which ones you like. Meetings were easy-going and fun, and they made us feel comfortable, which is important because it made us comfortable working with them and posing in front of the camera during our big wedding day. We were able to email/text them anytime, and they were very responsive. We also asked to have an additional meeting a few weeks before to go over logistics and timeline for our wedding day and they made time to meet with us without issue. *Photos* Our wedding photos came out amazing! We have never really done a photoshoot so we don't really know how to pose in front of a camera.. BUT Max and Cath had super easy and fun prompts for us and our wedding party to make us look natural and not awkward. Again, Max and Cath made us feel very comfortable during the photoshoots and made it a fun experience. We received TONS of photos, and we loved all of them. Good variety of photo styles (vintage, ethereal, glowy, retro, polaroid, gray scale), nicely framed shots that captured the little details as well, excellent post-editing. We got a sneak peek of about 100 photos within a week, and the rest of the photos in a timely manner as expected. *Pricing* Extremely fair and competitive pricing for the quality of work and service we got. Very happy with what we paid. I do want to mention that our wedding was in the winter, so the off-season could have possibly affected pricing. *Other notes* They worked well as a team together to coordinate different photos from different angles, but also worked really well with our videographer team from a different company. I think it's because they have such a friendly and outgoing personalities. The day goes by really smoothly and both photos and videos come out great when the entire media team can collaborate well with each other. We noticed both Max and Cath had multiple cameras on them at all times (main cameras slung over each shoulder, polaroid, and drone controller). They were able to continuously but effortlessly switch between so many of their different cameras really quickly, all while operating a drone as well (you can see what I mean on their Instagram behind the scene/POV posts). So talented! All the different cameras gave us a wide variety of really creative shots. They even handed us cute and memorable polaroid pics that they took of us during the wedding day right then and there. They honestly worked really hard, and were constantly running around to get into position for the perfect photo at the perfect time. They will absolutely make sure every special and important moment is captured on camera. Max and Cath are truly artistic photographers. A few of our wedding guests saw our wedding photos and already asked us about Max and Cath to do their wedding as well. We HIGHLY recommend them, and we will certainly contact Max and Cath again for any professional photoshoots in the future. read more

We've done three family sessions with Max, and we've absolutely loved every single one. From our first maternity shoot to our son's first birthday, and now our anniversary session with both of our boys, there's a reason we keep coming back. Max and his wife, Cath, have a way of making us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and that comfort really shows in the photos. They take their time with each session and are incredibly patient with our kids. Taking photos of a baby and a toddler isn't easy, but they always go above and beyond to make them laugh and enjoy the experience. Max and Cath are so easy to work with, and their amazing talent shows in every shot! We're so thankful for the beautiful memories they've captured for our family :) read more

They did an excellent job for my engagement and wedding photos. Awesome communication throughout the process, would highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing team! Came across their page on instagram and knew they were great but they really blew us away at our wedding. They captured every important moment so beautifully. My family kept mentioning to me after the wedding how amazed they were by the photo and video team. My brother said "where did you find them, they were everywhere and it was like they knew what to do just by looking at each other." I'm so happy we found Max and his team. We can't recommend them enough. read more

We're so glad we chose Max Junio as our wedding photographers! We originally met Max and his wife, Cath, years prior photographing my sister's wedding. We kept them in the back of our minds but we always knew we would book with them. From the first meeting, we knew they were the perfect fit. They made us feel completely at ease during our engagement shoot--even though I was nervous at first--and the photos blew us away. They truly captured our personalities and the emotion of every moment. On the wedding day, they kindly offered us a ride to the reception just out of pure kindness. You can tell they genuinely care about their work and their couples. If you're considering them, do it. You won't regret it--they're incredibly talented, kind, and professional. They take their time to thoughtfully compose each shot, carefully assessing the scenery and lighting, and gently guiding posed and candid moments, all while making you feel like a friend rather than a client. If you're on the fence, don't be. Max and Cath are incredible at what they do, and they truly care about their couples and their craft. We'll be going to them for any photography needs in the future. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Max and his team were amazing. Leading up to the wedding and during the wedding they truly knew what they were doing. They did a SDE video during the wedding and it was a literal dream and my guests can't stop talking about it. Max and his team were very respectful and I wanted someone who directed us and showed us where we needed to go because we are so awkward sometimes. But him and his team were great and his videos and pictures are literally super high quality 4K quality and we can't thank him and his team enough for creating memories I will look back on forever. Thank you Max and team!!! read more

The Max Junio Photography team was absolutely amazing to work with!! From photographers to videographers--they were all great. My husband and I are pretty awkward when it comes to taking photos or just capturing the moment, but they helped us feel so comfortable. They would give us guidance when we weren't sure on what to do/how to pose, but it was still very candid and genuine. All our photos came out so beautiful! Kuya Max and Ate Cath even upgraded our videography so that we could have a SDE (same day edit)! It was so special being able to watch back our wedding day with all of our loved ones. Every time I watch back our video, I get to reminisce all the happy memories of our special day. I can't recommend them enough. I promise you, you won't regret it!! read more

Absolutely the best photographers in the game. They did our wedding and engagement photos perfectly--better than we ever imagined. I honestly never thought my wife and I would have pictures like this, and now we get to keep them forever. Their pricing is a steal for the quality, and their professionalism was unmatched. They also made the entire experience fun and comfortable, which made a huge difference. Can't recommend them enough. read more

On top of their amazing photography, their service was exceptional! They're so friendly and fun to work with, my husband and I are usually camera shy but we felt so comfortable with them - same with our family and friends on wedding day! I would pick them again for future family portraits and events in the future! Thank you Max and Cat! read more

Max and Cath were a dream to work with!, especially in the middle of pandemic. I appreciated they met with us via Zoom prior to booking to talk about their options and how they operate so there were no guess-work. During our engagement session as well as our actual wedding day, they made every second so easy to deal with among the wedding chaos. He made sure to get every angle and every shot so that we can relive our special day as if it just happened. For us awkward folks, they were both so comfortable and casual to be around and they helped with different poses and offered clear directions. These are the type of people you want on your team! Maraming, maraming salamat Max & Cath!! read more

While looking for a wedding photographer I looked at instagram to see the works of each photographers our wedding planner gave me and my fíance. When we saw the work of Max we decided to choose him. The day of our photoshoot my fíance and I didn't know what to do. This was our very first photoshoot. We didn't know what to expect. Thanks to Max and his wife they made the photoshoot fun while being professional. They let us borrow their slippers so our feet wouldn't hurt while we walk along the rocky paths. I knew from that day that my now husband made the right decision into choosing Max as our photographer. Max and his wife Catherine made our wedding day (May 27, 2022) fun and stress free while they were taking our pictures. We (Prince, my husband) & I recommend Max Junio as a photographer for anyone looking for a photographer. read more

Max has been a pleasure to work with for our pandemic micro-wedding. Somehow we were led to him through a network of other photographers, and we have absolutely no regrets with how everything turned out. He really understood and captured our aesthetic perfectly. Everyone said that our photos looked like a fashion editorial wedding. We've recommended him to all of our friends and family, and we can't wait for other opportunities for him to take our photos again. read more

I have been a wedding planner for 888 Productions based in Los Angeles, CA for over 10 years now. I was initially introduced to Max Junio by a fellow vendor in August of this year. I remember working my very first event with him at the Biltmore Hotel in downtown LA on September 7th, 2019. He was one of our freelance photographers for the day and even though I've seen some of his work online, I must admit that I wasn't expecting anything extra ordinary from him that day. I am coordinating that wedding and on that day, he arrived very early, looking very professional and equipped. He was polite and assertive on directing our bride and groom. I don't know how he still managed to set-up lights inside the ballroom and in the Church, given the limited time, but he did. I didn't get to see what he was trying to accomplish that day but when he submitted his photos a few days later, I was completely BLOWN AWAY! His photos were not just great, they were PHENOMENAL, like a gallery of MASTERPIECES for a magazine spread. I'm attaching a few of them for reference. I would probably think that they're done by someone who's been in the industry for decades but NO, I've learned that Max has only started getting into photography business in 2017. Still a very fresh talent. In my line of work, I have worked with HUNDREDS of professional international photographers in the country but one thing that stood out from Max's work is his keen attention to detail. If you look closely into his work, you could see the amount of work and passion he puts into each photo. The way he directs his clients, the way he works with the shadows and natural light, by seeing his composition, you could tell that he's a brilliant artist. I also know how to edit photos in Lightroom and I could tell that this man spends hours in post production. There's no such thing as plain or simple pictures to him, every image has a "WoW" factor, especially with his dark and moody style. You could tell that he has a pretty high standard. I've noticed that he's quite a perfectionist too which totally reflects on his craft. I was totally impressed after seeing his work from that event so I have immediately booked him with some more projects in Southern CA, up until 2021. Since then, my company has officially welcomed him as one of our lead photographers. Overall, I am very pleased with his craft and his work ethics. I can say more praises about him and his service but I think it's best if you go check his website or his Instagram to see his portfolio. They will all speak for themselves. I'll say give Max a shot, have him photograph your special event, may it be a short family session, a maternity or a big wedding event, I can guarantee you that he will deliver something EXTRA ORDINARY and definitely MORE than your expectation. He's undeniably worth more than 5 Stars! read more
