Hired Gor for wedding invitation photoshoot and wedding ceremony, my fiancee was late around an hour or so because her make up artist took too long and Gor waited for us and didn't make us reschedule, he guided us very well in how to pose and found the best lighting since it's already dark and we missed the sunset. Got the pictures in google drive the next day, we were impressed with the quality of the pictures. Fast forward to the wedding ceremony, Gor got there to the church a few minutes early, and took a whole bunch of pictures, we again got the pictures the next day. Super happy with his service, thank you Gor. read more

I would give this business zero stars if I could. Paid $10,000 for my wedding video and photo. Didn't get any of my photos even and when I asked for it he wants to charge me $500 just to search and send me the link. Worst customer service and dishonest people. You are better off with ANY other video or photographer than these fools! read more

I booked Royal Gor for my professional headshot and couldn't be more happy with how the photos came out! I wanted a natural semi casual look that was versatile and he was able to capture that! He suggested the Griffith Observatory and I just loved the background details so much! I'm going to share some of the photos for reference. Can't wait to book him for the holidays! read more

Royal Gor Studio - Casual natural headshot at Griffith Observatory - Videographers Near Me - Burbank, California

I love love the feel of the studio and Royal Gor's work! Royal Gor has done photos for two of my friends engagements and weddings and I must say the photos were phenomenal!! He has a great eye, is professional and super easy going.. something rare you find in this industry Gor and his team make you feel right at home and extremely comfortable, which I think many photographers lack. During an all day wedding there never was a dull moment with him and his crew. They attended to very detail, gave great direction and made the shoot very enjoyable. I highly recommend him for any occasion!!!! read more

Avoid these people by all means, very unprofessional, rude small group of people. When grandfather will be editing your videos and pictures you guess what the products will be. Their service is also extremely expensive. Their equipment are very old as well. We were ripped off. Avoid them by all means. read more

So unfortunate that every time I look back at my wedding photos I'm left feeling upset and disappointed. Gor's dad the main videographer was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we were happy with the results of our wedding video. Sadly, the quality of our photos and the service was so bad that it sunk this review to 1 star. Gor is a very rude and unprofessional person. On the day of the wedding, we had to constantly send someone to find him to remind him he has to come take pictures. My husband and I have 1 good photo of us together from our wedding day. We have zero usable photos with our parents. I wanted to print a canvas for my grandmother as a Christmas gift, and I just went in the files because I made the mistake of thinking that my husband and I have a photo together with my grandmother, whoops, we don't have one! We felt as though the other photographers from their team were far more dedicated and did a much better job. A couple months after the wedding, after we played cat and mouse in actually retrieving our photos, and after the "edits" were done, Gor doesn't even have the audacity to come out of his office to give us the product. He drops the USB of our photos in his mailbox, outside his door, and that's where we have to pick it up from. Mind you, he's sitting in his office just steps away I'm not even going to get into the rude text messages he sent my husband when we were trying to get proper edits done on the photos. This is just a tiny bit of the horror that was our wedding photos and what a mistake it was booking this guy.. steer clear of the disappointment and the thousands you'll drop and book someone else for your special occasion. read more

A wedding dream-team! Two teams of photographers and videographers spent an entire day with our bridal party going to five different locations. Professional attitude with amazing results. Here is how/why we chose Royal Gor and we are very happy with our decision. First Impression: Having to deal with a dozen or more vendors for an Armenian wedding, you come to realize Armenians don't have any customer service, to us Armenians thats normal, but when we walked into Royal Gor studio we were acknowledged right away. Clean studio represents clean work. Met with the team and their work by far was better than any other vendor we had seen. Our second visit, we knew Royal Gor would be perfect. Professionalism: On the wedding day the entire team wore matching Royal Gor outfits, simple black on black clean cut, nothing distracting. Gor, the team lead, wore a suit and tie. Thank you for wearing a suit and tie to my wedding. I've been to a wedding that the DJ has a big display infront of him with his DJ name, the photo/video team members are wearing big logo T-shirts and the singer after a few songs gives plugs to the vendors, looks like reality tv show. Quality: I am not saying this because it's my wedding, but I can put my brothers wedding photos (other vendor) next to my best friends wedding photos (another vendor) next to mine and you can honestly tell the difference. Quick turnaround and it came in a nice package. Presentation is key! Price: We didn't do the traditional 24-hour wedding which most Armenians do. We explained our wedding itinerary to Gor; the places we wanted to go, things we wanted to capture and our budget. We were pleased with the price and the flexible payment plans. We honestly saw 8 other photo/video vendors before going with Royal Gor, don't sacrifice the only memory you will have from your wedding day. Overall: The hardest vendor to pick for our wedding because it was the single most important part, more than the flowers and more than the dj. The best vendor I dealt with. After the wedding most of my family members were saying how nice the photo/video team were. THANK YOU ROYAL GOR STUDIO!!! read more

Just got back home from my photo shoot with the family, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. We purchased a good deal online for a one hour photo shoot and when you get to the location, it's actually at a warehouse-type place. But don't be worried, it's really cozy and comfy inside, and great for a private photo shoot session. Gor took really great shots of our little girls and of our family during the 1 hour - if you have young kids, it's a good idea because you know they can't stay patient for too long. Definitely beats the crowd at JCPenney, and photos are professional, crystal clear, and just priceless. read more

I've waited close to 3.5 years to write this review. It's going to be a long one so stay with me. My wife and I contracted this "studio" to be our wedding photographer in May of 2013 for our wedding in October 2014. We finally got our album in July of 2018. Here's the story: After he took our money, he literally disappeared. Initially, he provided our pictures in a web format so we can pick our favorites and choose the album layout. Upon going through the pictures, we noticed about half of the pictures at the park and ALL of the pictures from the church ceremony were missing. His explanantion was that his hard drive crashed. We waited a few weeks and he uploaded some of the pictures. We were satisfied with what was there so we decided to move forward. We submitted our album and it was time for revisions. This is where the s--- hit the fan. He and his "team" became wholly unresponsive. It took weeks to months to get a single text message from him. He continously said that there was a family emergency, computer issues, or that he was out of town. My wife and I accepted that we may never see our album completed and our money was lost, along with the priceless memories. We moved twice and bought a house eventually and we finally decided it was time to contact him again. I sent texts literally daily asking what was going on with my pictures to what seems like a dead number. Eventually, I got fed up. I'm a web designer, so I did what I knew how to do best. I put up a website in January of 2018 with a timer of how long it's been and a contact form and I started blasting his social media and leaving reviews on various sites. He responded within two hours threatening a lawsuit, and he said that if I dont take down the reviews, I'll never see my album, but still no word about when it would be finished.. After a shouting match, I had enough and went to his studio in Burbank where he completely avoided me and my wife. We finally got his father's number and gave him a call, telling him the whole story. He seemed sympathetic to our story initially, however, that went awry very quickly. When we spoke to him in February, he claimed that his son will no longer be helping us and that he would take care of the album and we would have it 15 days after we submit our final designs. We submitted our designs and approved the final version in March of this year. Once we did, he claimed that we would have our album in 15 days. When the 15 days passed, he said that he saw our contract and that we requested an Italian printed album and that it would take an additional month. We were patient and waited the month. Once the month was up, and still no album, we found out that their credit card was declined and the album was never submitted to be printed. We called and asked him to submit it again. When he said he did, my wife called him and asked for proof that the order went through. At this point, the father BLEW up and started yelling at my wife for calling him a liar and that he cant wait to prove that it was our fault for our album taking as long as it has. When time finally came to pick up the album, his son finally called me. He told me that we had a $500 balance (which we did) then he asked if I had the money. I told him I do, and he asked me to send him photo proof before I went over to pick up my property. Knowing if I blew up, we'd be in a shouting match and this would drag on further. Being so close to the finish line, I bit my tongue and I went to his fathers home. He provided me with the sub-par album and apologized. If you're considering this studio for any photography, or ANY service the provide. STAY AWAY. They will take your money, they will do shoddy work, they will frustrate you, they will ruin your memories, they will cause fights between you and your partner. I cannot wait for this business to go down and dissolve. If there's any question about any of this story, I have every single text message and email sent and received saved. Gor will inevitable write back and call me a liar (he's done so in the past to other reviewers) but don't take my word for it. Ask me and I'll provide you the texts/emails. DO NOT HIRE THIS SHAM BUSINESS. Go to kris kan, JJ, or any other photo studio out there that will do better, timely work. read more

Hidden fee. Think twice before bringing your photos in for archival conversion at Royal Gor. ..................................................­.......................................... UPDATE: One of the owners, Gor G responded to this review (see below if it's still live or if he hasn't edited it) by suggesting I mistakenly reviewed the wrong company, and that I likely meant to review another business called "iPreservedit" which is in the same Burbank building as his. I looked up this "wrong business". It does indeed share with him a building in Burbank, "Suite 100 A" vs Royal Gor's "Suite 100". If you look at the Groupon offers (still online) they both list a second office, in La Crescenta-Montrose, in the identical suite 277. Coincidence? The Groupon page for the offer I purchased listed his company: "Royal Gor Studio". I was also able to find more recent Groupon pages for this other business iPreservedIt with nearly identical offers--from the same photos to the same language. AND, and here's the kicker, the same royal-gor-photography URL, just with a -3 or -4 added to it: /deals/royal-gor-photography = Royal Gor Studio. /deals/royal-gor-photography-1 = Royal Gor Studio. /deals/royal-gor-photography-2 = Royal Gor Studio. /deals/royal-gor-photography-3 = iPreservedIt. /deals/royal-gor-photography-4 = iPreservedIt. I understand his motivation for coming on here to publicly pretend that this negative review is an innocent mistake about the "wrong business", but it's shady. When I walked my photos in his door, the place was called Royal Gor Studios, not iPreserved It. And the owner I met, whom I mention in my review below, is this very same owner--Gor--who commented below. He's the guy who hid a fee until I drove out to Burbank and arrived in his desk, and he's the guy who claimed that the fee was listed publicly when it clearly wasn't. So... the review stays. ..................................................­.......................................... I purchased a $75 Groupon for Royal Gor to archive 500 photos at 300dpi. I drove out to their location in Burbank to drop off the photos. The owner told me then that he would charge a fee because the photos were currently organized into photo albums, rather than delivered to him in a box or bag. If this is the policy, then disclose it. NOT when someone arrives, but when a customer is evaluating whether to pay for your service. There should be clear printing SOMEWHERE, ANYWHERE that he will charge you 10¢ per image. At 500 photos then, the real cost adds $50. $125 not $75. One of the owners, who was at the desk, said that there was small print somewhere on Groupon to this effect. This isn't true. It wasn't true when I purchased, when I drove out to deliver the photos, nor is it true now. Before writing this review I searched again. This fee is not mentioned on Royal Gor Photography's website, nor on Groupon's deal. To be clear, these were not photos stapled or taped into albums. Nor hard to get out. Many were under thin archival plastic, while others were within those little corner holders. I am glad to pay someone to do manual labor like this: removing photos, keeping them in order, and replacing them may be time-consuming work compared to not having to worry about their order. I would have been happy to pay what amounted to a $50 fee if Royal Gor hadn't hidden this fee. But they did. And their owner is being disingenuous to claim it's written somewhere when clearly I could show him on my phone, that it was nowhere on his Groupon offer, nor on the Groupon page listing the original offer. I expect companies to be up-front and public about a service charge. read more

The headshot I got was the most beautiful photo ever taken of me! Gor was masterful with the lighting and I received my proofs very quickly after the photo session. The studio atmosphere was very serene and relaxing and Gor was very professional, accommodating and kind. He even helped me carry my wardrobe in and out, I wish there was a way for me to post my photo here so you could see how phenomenal his work is! Thank you Gor. read more

I hired Gor for photography and video for our wedding. Gor and his dad Khorn are absolute pleasure to work with. They were easy going, flexible, and very pleasant to work with. It's has been only a week since the wedding and i have not received photos yet. However Khorn took some with his smartphone and texted to me the next day and even with Iphone photo you can see a vision of a true artist. Before the wedding we had engagement photoshoot and I could not be happier. I would definitely recommend them. They are worth every penny. I would recommend an informational session with Gor prior to hiring him. He spent an hour with me at his studio going over different Video and Photo options. When I left his studio I contacted 7 more photographers. A month later I was back to Gor because he is simply the best! read more

I have had the honor of working with Royal Gor for many years now. Royal Gor has been to our salon several times to shoot our brides and their wedding parties getting ready for the big day. We love the crew and their skills. Their photography captures every detail of our work, which is what we love most. Not only is their photography phenomenal but also their videography. I love their editing. Every photo and video shoot is different and unique in its' own way (very hard to find such creativity). They are truly a company that cares about quality, not quantity. The moment my brother proposed, we immediately went to Royal Gor to book them for the wedding. Unfortunately, they were already booked. We went ahead and changed the wedding day to make sure Royal Gor Studios will be capturing all the precious moments of the very special day. If that does not describe how amazing their work is, I don't know what else will. I highly recommend this company for all your photography and videography needs. read more

Just from my experience I can tell all the positive reviews might be fake. The whole team is unprofessional in their photography skills, not to mention their editing skills. The final product would look decent if a high school photography student presented it, but if you're paying thousands for that level of work, it's highly unacceptable. During the event, no moment was captured, rather the photographers would all see a moment they missed and force people to act out the scene again, so that an image could be captured. This became very frustrating and made the entire event a headache. What's more, the final product has unacceptable issues and again this is not ok for the thousands of dollars that were requested. I do not recommend hiring this team for any of your photography needs. read more

Hi Christina/Gor, Words cannooooot even tell you how excited I am to have picked you guys for our video/photo crew. EVERYTHING from the beginning to the end was incredible. Thankkk you soo muchh for all that you guys did for us that day. Every single moment was captured by the entire team. My family, friends and coworkers are even talking about how great you guys were. Running around after us the entire day. I had sooo much fun during the entire wedding. We built alot of funny memories together and I'm soo glad you guys were there for us. Christina has sent me all the images and I love them so much!!! Thank you all who spent 14+ hours to capture everything. read more

Picking up my gorgeous wedding albums, and they are absolutely stunning! Loving these mini albums that Gor got for us too--so special! We had Gor do our pre-wedding shoot last year, and the shots came out so amazing. He has a real vision and is an artistic genius. Our wedding day photos came out great too, but Gor wasn't our photographer and I noticed a difference in the work. I highly recommend booking IN ADVANCE and making sure you secure Gor as your photographer if you want absolutely stunning photos. Can't wait to share these mini albums with our family and friends, very happy with how everything turned out. read more

I just got back from my photo shoot for my 1-year old daughter. If you have kids, you know how energetic they can be. Gor was patient, friendly, and encouraging. My daughter and I had so much fun, and that's what I had asked Gor to do...take fun pictures. I look at the pictures he took and I can see the soul of my daughter singing in them. Thank you Gor for these awesome pictures. I got more than I expected and I will be back. read more

My husband and I hired Royal Gor for photo and video for our wedding day. From the moment we went in for our consultation we knew we had picked the right team for our big day! The team at Royal Gor is an absolute pleasure to work with. They are extremely professional and flexible. We can't wait to see our pictures!! read more

Well, I grew up in a photography studio: my father's. He was a commercial photographer, but whenever we had free time he would put me in front of the camera and snap a few shots. I also was his unofficial "assistant" which usually meant I had to lug some heavy sack of photo lenses for him on shoots. So Im not calling myself an expert here, but lets say Im familiar with the photographic process. Gor was great, very easy going personality and demeanor. I took my 15 month old active toddler, and he very patiently worked with us for an hour. Common sense tells you that its hard to hit a moving target, and she was that, but Gor managed to get some great shots of her. It was a great first experience for her, and hopefully we can go back and get some family portraits next time! Thanks, Gor! read more

WORST PEOPLE TO WORK WITH !!!! Didnt even show up on our wedding day after we paid them everything in advance!!!!! THEY LAST MINUTE TOOK ON ANOTHER JOB BECAUSE THEY WERE A " high profile" family.... they sent over a bunch of INTERNS THA DIDNT EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING!!! THANKS TO YOU PEOPLE MY VIDEO AND PHOTOS SUCK!!!!! Never have I met such greedy and unprofessional people!! They ruined the most important parts of my wedding! Our mistake was paying them in advance, had we known they were such liars we would have taken every penny back!!!!!!!!! read more

I had an in-studio photo shoot last Sunday. It was a Groupon gift from my sister as a baby shower gift. I am seven months pregnant and Gor was able to get some great shots of me and my large belly. Several of the shots were of just myself and I took some with my husband. Lianna (makeup artist) did a wonderful job with my makeup - it looked great in the pictures and I kept getting compliments on how good my makeup looked the rest of the day. I will definitely use Royal Gor Photography services again - most likely right after the baby is born! read more

Beyond amazing customer service! Very friendly! And Ofcourse they did an amazing job at my event! Could not have asked for a better photographer! read more

I just did my head shots at Royal Gor and they did a great job. They were very professional and easy to work with. You guys did great!

Royal Gor Studio is incredible! They have amazing creative vision and are very passionate about what they do. I am so thankful to them for paying attention to every detail on our big day. The most important aspects of your wedding are your photos and videos because that is what is left in the end. Thank you for capturing all of the moments that flew by right before my eyes! read more

See all

Gor has been my families video and photo guy since 2003. His done my wedding, my kids christenings and family photo shoots. His pictures are perfect and the friendly service unbeatable.!! read more

We have been to quite a few consultations but nothing like this one! When we walked in we were personally greeted by Gor himself and were told to filled out a short contact form in the waiting area and then asked into his studio. Once in his studio the detailed consultation began. Without us even asking any questions he answered every question we had and would have probably had later. He went into detail with every tiny aspect of his process, showed us many sample photos, videos, photo books and anything else you can imagine but most importantly gave options for everything to fit our personal budget. By the end of it we felt like we had taken a course rather than a consultation and learned sooo much. First impressions are everything and this was nothing short of perfect! read more

Love his work! Very professional and the pictures come out great! Take it from someone who looks bad in every picture!!!!!!

Just got done with an amazing photoshoot with Royal Gor! He made us feel very comfortable and made the process fun.....I highly recommend him for all kinds of shoots and occasions! read more

Perhaps the most unprofessional experience you could have. I bought a Groupon coupon alleging that they were a professional tape to DVD transfer establishment. They did a shoddy job (not even labeling the DVD), were rude and didn't even keep regular business hours making it difficult to even pick up the finished product. The experience was enough to make me cancel my subscription to Groupn and write a review (which I have never done before) informing the public as to what a dreadful experience this was. I'm sure that any other work of any kind that they do would be equally disapponting. Hope that anyone that reads this are forewarned and stay away. read more

I had a really bad experience with a previous wedding photographer & video crew from my cousins wedding. (Won't mention any names) & to be honest, I was expecting the same from this company because from that day on I just assumed all wedding photographers are rude & expect you to act like you've been trained to know exactly what you have to do without them telling you. Of course, I was wrong. REALLY WRONG! Royal Gor & his professional staff were so friendly & easy to work with! I realized how the camera crew can make such a huge difference in your bridal parties mood. Their friendliness & easy going personalty made it so much easier to pose & feel good about doing it! they knew exactly what pictures & video shots they needed to take but @ the same time, they wouldn't get upset or give you attitude if you asked them for a particular shot. They were very understanding & didn't expect us to get things done right the first time. I mean, I can go on & on about what a great experience I had working with this team but you get my drift. As for the pictures, I've seen a few from their Instagram & FB account since the wedding was only a couple of days ago. but the ones on IG & FB look FABULOUS!!! I can only imagine what they will look like when they're ready! Thank you Royal Gor & your amazing team for making my brothers wedding day an even better experience for me & my family! read more

Had a great shoot with my 7 week old. Gor was wonderful and took amazing pictures better then I expected. Can't seem figure out which is my favorite. Gor was very patient with us & the baby and happy to let us change her outfit more then 3 times. Will be back for more pictures and would recommend to anyone in need of photography. read more

He maybe a good photographer but I would not recommend you use him for scanning photos. Mine were completely washed out to the point where large portions of the images were completely white. The originals were brightly coloured. read more

Royal Gor has been our family photographer and videographer for well over a decade now. We have hired him for our wedding, my husbands 30th birthday, my son's birthdays, and have had many photoshoots in his studio. I cannot begin to explain how much he amazes us with his work every time. His creations are timeless and his ability to capture our precious moments have blown us away. Our wedding was in 2005 and the quality was absolutely amazing. I have compared our wedding video with others from the same time, and none of then compared up to Gor's work. The quality was so clear and the work he put into it was very detailed. He managed to perfect every detail we asked of him. If there was anything I wanted changed, he was more than happy to change for me. Our love story video clip still shocks people with its originality and we cannot explain how thankful we are for having Gor give us the ideas for it. I highly recommend Gor for any photography and videography needs. read more

Wow, I must say most of the time I never bother to go online and post reviews on things (restaurants, other foods, clothes, services, etc.) even after I receive follow up emails from the merchant asking for feedback... However, Gor doesn't even need to ask. He and his wife, and his dad were nice and pleasant during our family photo shoot. They were very patient with my kids. We had a great time, and lots of pictures to show for it! Very pleased and satisfied! I would definitely recommend anyone to Gor and his talented team =) read more

I had the groupon deal for photo restoration and was extremely happy with the service and results - as I gave them over 300 VERY OLD and odd sized photos to scan and restore. I also had them make a few large prints from the restored photos and they came out beautifully. I definitely recommend their photo restoration and print services. It was a strange groupon to buy since I had never tried anything like it and had immediate buyers remorse (as I often do with my impulsive grouponing problem...can get real bad sometimes), but now I have 300 family photos (some 100 years old) restored and saved digitally - really a priceless purchase! read more

Very nice pictures in their website, but they need to work on friendliness, and professionalism. Very rude owner; I was shocked and bummed nearly crying after hanging up. I bought a special deal that you seen on groupon or amazon for this shop a few months back. When I tried to schedule the appointment for the 1 hour shooting session for my baby boy they would not give me a session on any reasonable time frame other than on their slow mornings. As a working mom it is too difficult for me to take time off from work just to go to a photo shoot session. read more

Definitely 5 stars. It's as good as it gets! I was so worried how my videos and photos are going to come out (since I'm a very picky person) but Royal Gor studios handled it very professional. They know their job! My photos came out incredibly beautiful and fun and the same thing with my videos. I liked the fact that they talk to you first to get to know you and see what kind of taste you have and what you are looking for in your photos/videos. I think that's how professionals should work. Excellent job guys! I do recommend everyone to get their services for sure. They will do more than you have asked for. Thank you guys soo much!!! read more

Royal Gor is an amazing studio, they are such a great warm and friendly business to work with. They are above and beyong professional and have creative ideas. Especially living in San Diego, we don't have ANY Armenian photographers/ videographers...as soon as my Fiance and I met Gor we both knew he would be the one taking our photos for our special day, without a doubt! He had so many wonderful ideas and up to par on technology ( I was blown away). I recently took my engagement photos and they came out AMAZING, I can't wait for my wedding day. read more
