I think a previous review put it best when they said Frank was a Master Artist…read more I called on Frank for a pretty difficult assignment: a senior photo for a yearbook picture. Sounds easy enough. Cut to my kiddo who is a fantasy writer, in the Creative Writing Conservatory at Orange County School of the Arts. Not the usual kid, not the usual school, and a usual photographer was not going to do. I looked and looked for a photographer who could handle alternative imagery (I don't know how else to put it). Not to mention, my child is also autistic and shy and does NOT like photos taken, so that was going to be a hurdle as well. Another photographer, who's opinions I respect, recommended Frank for the job. He kindly took us on with very short notice as the deadline was rapidly approaching. We had the BEST time at the session! He made my child extremely comfortable with his warm personality. And he knew exactly the "feel" we wanted for the photos. His wife was also there to help and she was so kind to us. The whole experience was enjoyable. And the photos! They were incredible, and really captured my quirky kid's passion. We are blown away at how good they turned out. I would recommend Frank to anyone and don't hesitate to ask him for the unusual. He's extremely good at understanding your needs. I'm already thinking about senior prom pics!

If I could give Hector a 10 star rating, I would! He's amazing! I love ALL my wedding pictures. My…read morehusband and I hired Hector after he photographed my sister in laws wedding in 2016. When I saw her pictures I was blown away, so we had to hire him for our wedding in April 2017. He really has an eye for photography and what works best with your location and most importantly the couple. He is also very respectful of what what you want and never over stepped his boundaries with moments I didn't necessarily want documented. I appreciated he took as many pictures as we wanted with family and guests; and also appreciated that if he saw a location or moment for great pictures he would let us know. Overall I will definitely have Hector capture our milestones from now on and highly recommend him for anyone looking for amazing professional photography.

He takes so many photos, even if only half the shots were great, you're talking about hundreds of fantastic shots. Of course, far more than half are good 2. He is culturally sensitive - if you're having a Latino, Asian or other cultural wedding, he does his best to ask questions, understand your event and make sure to capture the theme 3. He shows up early and really thinks about the environment and landscape 4. He posts his pictures very quickly and allows you view them quickly 5. He offers you very good packages, and you can have as simple or complete a package as you want. I picked him for my wedding and I am extremely glad I did. I highly recommend this company for your event.

Samuel Lippke is truly an AMAZING photographer. I knew I wanted something different when shopping…read morefor our wedding photography and when I found Samuel's wedding pictures, I immediately knew, I just had to book him! Unlike boring, stiff posed pictures, his pictures were very real, natural, and provided a unique perspective. The trendy term for his photography style is "photojournalism"- the pictures are alive and tell a story. Samuel is one of the best wedding photojournalists and talented one at that- he can really use natural light and his photography skills to generate a genuine art from your big day. On our wedding day, Samuel made us feel comfortable and at ease- toward the end of our event, we didn't even notice him taking his shots! He was so stealth and quick! Then, everyone was absolutely amazed at the photos from the wedding slideshow that he has put up for our viewing pleasure toward the end of the event (with his same day edits). They were really cool! Everyone kept asking for pictures right after we came back from our honeymoon. A couple weeks after our big day, he sent us a beautiful wedding slideshow that included even more pictures along with some really nice, romantic music selections. I think I watched it at least a dozen times on that day! We are going to have a very hard time picking which ones should go into our album... we just like too many of them! With that said, if you're shopping for a photographer for your big day, do your research and pick a good one. Definitely do your homework and pick the best you can afford! I truly believe that wedding photographer is the single most important vendor that you'll need for your big day... Our wedding day passed by so fast and pictures are the only way we will remember it... we are so glad we got to know Samuel and even my now-husband agrees with me! :)

Can't explain enough how grateful I am for Samuel! I needed website photos for my business and have…read moreno experience with photography so I reached out for help. Samuel made me feel comfortable the entire photoshoot (which says a lot) and took the greatest photos! He has an eye for the perfect shot and is so easy to work with.

Joseph Pesiri was our photographer for both our wedding and engagement photos and both times he was…read moreamazing. Not only did he do the photos but also passed along many tips and tricks to help with the entire wedding process, which we used several of his ideas when planning our wedding. During both events Joseph was open to whatever photos we wanted to take (I was able to squeeze in a cheesy prom looking photo with the wedding party) but he made it extremely easy to take beautiful pictures with his guidance and eye for detail. Through this whole process, Joseph was always available through call, text or email. He was always quick to respond to any of our questions. Overall he is a great person to have as a photographer he really gets to know you and incorporates that into what pictures/poses would work best. During the wedding we got many compliments about how the interactions between us and him felt like he had known us for years. Overall Joseph is amazing person that will truly help you not only with the photography but also with his many years of experience can relive some of the anxiety of planning such an event. He is great to work with and is extremely accommodating throughout the whole process. He is able to turn a very important and stressful event into something that can be accomplished with both his personality and experience. If you are looking for a photographer I highly suggest Joseph Pesiri.

Joseph Pesiri is not only one of the best Photographers I have ever worked with but one of the best…read moreoverall vendors I have ever worked with. He was our wedding photographer and we couldn't have wished for anything better. He was completely helpful and accommodating during the entire process; from booking, to planning, to the day of the event and even after our wedding was over. First of all the initial meeting with him was great. He had a lot of information examples and work to show us which we liked. He was very nice and has a great sense of humor which made planning our wedding that much easier. He explained everything to us in a very easy way and was more than willing to answer all of our questions. In our first meeting it was very obvious that he has tons of experience and great advice to give. The day of the event was even better. My bride and I both have large, loud, active Hispanic families. Lol. So we were a bit worried that trying to get everyone organized and attentive enough to get the pictures done was going to be hard. Furthermore our church only gave us 20 minutes after the ceremony to get all the pictures done. Joseph said, "leave it up to me and we will get all the pictures you want" He was right!! He was not shy around our 2 crazy families and was able to handle them like he was one of us. He was bold and assertive and that was exactly what we needed. We asked him if we could add a third location of picture taking at my brides house and he said, "sure not a problem". Like I said - super accommodating. He swung by and took a set of pictures that my wife really wanted to have with no problem or hiccups. The rest of the pictures were done at a park by the water in Long Beach. Joseph did a great job of incorporating our surroundings. My bride and I both love the sea and he made sure that all of our pictures had that feeling of being by the water. He had great picture ideas and concepts which made our pictures so much better that we expected. The rest of the wedding went without a hitch. He got every single shot we had hoped and planned to get with him. He told us that being able to tell a complete story of the day was the most important thing in shooting our wedding. He went about and beyond in doing so. He even stayed later that we had planned just to make sure he got all the shots he needed. Also, let's not forget all the cheesy jokes he told our wedding party... we laughed at him but he got what he wanted - which was our attention. I completely recommend Joseph Pesiri to anyone needing a professional photographer. He is a delight to work with and an all-around nice guy. Every time my wife and I met with him we felt so much better about our planning. He help relieve much of the anxiety and nervousness that goes along with planning a wedding. He is such a nice guy that I personally wanted to have a beer with him and hang out. LOL. Keep up the great work Joe! Gabriel Cordova and Celia Cano Wedding Date: 03/28/2015

When we met with him virtually to discuss goals and expectations, he was attentive and enthusiastic, offering suggestions to make the process go smoothly. On the day of, they worked as hard as possible to capture the spirit of our wedding, working in tandem with our photographer, Larissa Bahr. Together, they did a great job of being everywhere yet not in anyone's way or blocking a view. By the time the reception was in full swing, we barely recognized they were there, yet they were; capturing the dancing, the emotions, and the celebration of the evening. The result? A perfect final product. We have watched our wedding videos so many times now, and it has been the best way to relive our emotions, see other people, and overall relive the day again. Such a gift! We would hire them again in a heartbeat.
