Randall is REALLY good at his job! At first I was a little shy because I am so awkward in front of a camera and dislike the attention on me, but he made me feel comfortable and guided me on how to pose (by myself and with my partner). He did my engagement photoshoot and wedding day photos. He really captured the perfect shots and understood my vision especially with my DTLA skyline photoshoot! He scoped out the space ahead of time. He was prepared and knew exactly where to park (we all know DTLA is chaotic with parking) and where to go . He is VERY efficient and mindful of time. I cant express enough how much I enjoyed working with him and having him photograph my wedding day. He got along with everyone and his energy was awesome! His professionalism and teamwork with other vendors was awesome. He went above and beyond in making sure my wedding day stuck to its timeline. His assistant Ken was also fun to work with and was so fun to be around. I highly recommend Randall for any photoshoot needs. I cannot wait to see my wedding day story through his photos! Definitely will be my go to photographer for the future! Thanks so much Randall!! read more

Wow what to say about Randall...honestly just a huge component for why our wedding season (between engagement photos to the day of) has been fantastic. Here's why: 1. Randall was extremely communicative from the get-go, between being very transparent about costs and showcasing his portfolio, to throughout the day of the actual event. 2. Randall was extremely easy to work with. We are a camera shy couple, just used to taking selfies, and don't love being the center of attention at all. But during our engagement shoot, he handled us with care and ease, coaching us in a way that didn't feel awkward and let us feel natural and have fun with it all. We got some really funny photos out of it (like the piggy back rides) and probably have some amazing photos for the wedding as well. On the day of, with our parents who are definitely not used to photos, he very gently guided them through poses and made sure they felt comfortable as well. 3. Speaking of really goofy photos, he also dealt with our (very) reactive puppy who we had just adopted a few months prior. He had massive separation anxiety when we would leave him in the car, but he liked Randall because he wouldn't bark at him in the car and there was a point where Randall had to hold him on his own to take photos of us and he just waited patiently. So he also got Randall's good vibes. And the resulting photos were amazing with some being the funniest photos we've seen of our little fur baby. 4. On the day of, as my girls and I were running late, Randall went into action mode and went ahead with whatever photos he could get done without us there. In general, we felt more guided by him than our coordinator team tbh. He just seemed very on top of where we were supposed to be by when and communicated as such. 5. He went above and beyond the day of: we brought our own DSLR as we just wanted video recordings of very specific segments vs. hiring a whole videographer. We told him all he had to do was press record. No, this man would carry the camera into different locations to get different shots and made sure the camera was in the right positioning/lighting. He would also fix my train constantly, checked on us throughout the night, and even did another shot mid-way through the dancing portion when the dance floor became more of a conversation zone vs. a dancing section, which then brought the vibe back. Additionally, he took photos of all of our guests individually and as couples along with group photos with us once we arrived. This is all with ONE MAN. Truly, a spectacular job and just nothing we could have asked for more. 6. He also gave us great tips about our mini moon all inclusive that we left for the day after the wedding, so that was clutch. Truly an honor to work with Randall. If we ever do other photo shoots in the future for other life events or just a photo shoot just because, we will not hesitate to reach out to him. I have already verbally recommended him to other friends who I know are getting married in hopes they can have just a great a photographer as him. read more

Updated review: Got married 8/14/22 at Tivoli in Fallbrook, with Randall and Ken as our photographers. Honestly could not have picked better photographers to work with for our big day! Both of them were so helpful and patient with everyone. They even stayed an extra hour last minute to capture our bubble exit. Communication is so fast and easy with Randall and he even gives tips on how to make things go smoother during our hectic wedding timeline. Thank you Ken and Randall! You guys are the best!! read more

Photos turned out absolutely fantastic. He chose great locations and he's very hands on and even fixed my hair (it was windy at the beach), along with giving good directions on how to pose and fix my posture. Very friendly and easy to work with. We never took professional photos before but Randall put us at ease and made it an enjoyable session. Big plus: He was great with our 9 month old baby! He can sense when she is comfortable or not. read more

Randall De Leon Photography - family photo at Laguna - Session Photography Near Me

I mean it when I say that Randall is one of the best in the business. I booked him for an engagement shoot and wedding day and each photo came out SO amazing. We fell in love with the shots but so did our guests. We've received so many compliments on his work and how good he made us look. When it came time to pose, He guided us and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (which neither of us ever feel comfortable in front of the camera). His editing is also top tier. During the planning process, we appreciated how easy it was to communicate with him. One of the things I was most impressed with was he's very efficient so it helped get the most out of the limited time we had. Our families and wedding party also LOVED how he vibed well with the guests and his level of professionalism. He went above and beyond when he gave some recommendations on the timeline and taking pictures during the money dance (which helped us keep it moving throughout the night). Cant wait to book him again for future events! read more

One word to describe Randall is AMAZING!!! Our wedding photos turned out so beautiful. He was so professional and even told us about a beautiful spot to take pictures prior to our reception. I truly recommend Randall for booking him as your photographer. Knowing that wedding planning can be stressful, he made our day super easy for us. He sure does have a plan in place to help the bride and groom throughout the day! He is super nice and super talented from start to finish! Thank you Randall from the bottom of our hearts for catching the best moments from our wedding. I will definitely be using Randall as my photographer in the future! 10 stars Best, Kat & Danilo read more

Randall is one of the most professional people you will ever meet! We've use him a couple times for family portraits and will continue to do so because he's great to work with! He also knows a lot of locations if you don't have one in mind. The price is on point for what he offers for sessions whether it's family, engagements, elopements, baby photos, birthday events, and wedding events. There's a photo location that I would never have ever even thought of and he suggested it for our photos and we were so amazed at how beautiful they turned out! Randall, if you're reading this we want you to know how great of a photographer you are! Thank you for always capturing our beautiful moments in time. read more

My boyfriend, 16 week old puppy Daisy and I had a great experience with Randall at Seaport Village. He has experience shooting couples, headshots, weddings, engagements, grad photos, events, puppy shoots, and even fitness photos. His portfolio is so diverse! If you've never done a shoot before, he provides cues to ensure the best moments are captured, which was super helpful! He shoots in both San Diego and LA, so if you're in either definitely hit him up for any type of photoshoot! Btw his turnaround time is so much quicker than most photographers, which I appreciate. I was able to post our photos asap instead of waiting 3+ weeks :') read more

As one of my maid of honor duties, I had been looking for a photographer for my sister's wedding and came across Randall's profile on Instagram. After looking through his pictures and visiting his website, I knew he would be able to deliver great quality photos. We were not disappointed! Randall communicated thoroughly and was responsive throughout the process from start to finish. He was able to take care of any requests my sister had for specific photo ideas she had in mind. Randall has a great attention to detail, as he was always giving direction on hand placement, fixing our angles, letting us know when a shirt needed to be tucked in further, or making sure that my sister's wedding train was laid out properly. The restaurant where we held the reception at had poor lighting, but Randall was able to find a way to make it work and take beautiful pictures nonetheless. So thankful that I found Randall to capture these memories, and edit them artistically. We'll definitely be using him again in the future! read more

Randall took photos of my family for my grandma's 93rd birthday and it was such a wonderful experience. From the day I booked him he was very professional and communicative, even helping me choose what park we should take the photos at since I didn't know the area very well. On the day of the photoshoot he had to deal with about 26 of my family members including kids as young as 2 and an elderly woman as old as 93 (aka grandma lol). But he handled all of it with grace and kindness and we were able to get really great photos! My grandma said it was the best gift I could have given her. Highly recommend booking him. Thanks Randall!! read more

My fiancé and I were engaged late June of this year and I was contacted by Randall shortly after. To be honest, we each have never experienced being in a photo shoot before, nor did I really know if I even had the right questions to ask. Randall was so patient with me and walked me through the entire process, discussed packages/prices and shared his own content so that I could visualize his style and get an idea of what my own shoot could be. His website is full of an overflowing amount of precious moments he captured from weddings, to engagements, to pregnancy announcements to even graduation events-- you can really feel the love in every photo. His website was very easy to navigate through as well. You can really see Randall's talent through each photo with his attention to detail and his impeccable editing skills. After putting together a contract for me, I signed away and we were ready to start! After showing him inspiration photos and discussing my own style of bright and white tones, Randall was so willing to work with me and even showed me some photos of a recent shoot he did that was similar to the tones I asked for. I appreciated his work ethic and eagerness to match my style. Randall kept in constant communication with me and was always there to answer any questions I had. He's a quick responder too! He suggested a handful of beautiful locations for me and even dealt with any permit inquiries that the location required. During the day of the shoot, Randall arrived earlier than our scheduled time to scope out the location just in case of any unexpected crowd. Although we could not get the exact landmark we were hoping for, Randall quickly had his eye on another section of the beach that ended up being such a perfect spot. I was absolutely in love with it! We jumped right into our first pose. I was nervous about what poses we were going to do for the duration of our shoot, (again, this was my first time) but Randall was so on top of it and gave us direction the whole way through. He had a million pose ideas that came right out of his pocket! I even appreciated him for telling me I had to fix my hair a few times. Ladies, if you don't bring your very own personal assistant, this minor detail is a must! I went into this day expecting the shoot to be somewhat of a little awkward given that I'm usually awkward when I try to pose, however, the photo shoot flowed so smoothly from beginning to end. With Randall's guidance and direction, we walked out of there feeling like professional runway models :) We had such a blast! To top it off, I received the photos, complete & edited, only 2 days later! WHAT?! Amazing. I was so unbelievably amazed at the final product. Randall, thank you so much for bringing my vision to light. You made this experience so blissfully easy for us and we enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you for kicking off our engagement and starting off this journey for us. You are so blessed to be able to create memories that families can hang up on their walls in their home and keep for a lifetime. I know we will :) Love, Coco & Rodney read more
