My wife and I received services from MoAE Story for our engagement and wedding pictures. We first…read moremet at their studio for a consultation and were very easy to work with and explain our vision. Our first shoot was at San Juan Capistrano for Engagement Pictures. They were punctual, professional, extremely patient and courteous, and guided us throughout the entire day. The photos came out great, a few weeks before our wedding, so we were able to use them in a slideshow at our reception. For the day of the wedding, again they showed up right when expected, with plenty of gear and energy for the long day ahead. They were never in the way throughout the ceremony and reception, but knew exactly when to step in and suggest certain shots and locations. Having shot at the Hacienda in Santa Ana a week or two before was to our benefit as they knew about some hidden spots to take great pics. Within a month we received a TON of pictures on a 16GB Flash Drive and it was great relieving the moments again. We would recommend MoAE Story to anyone looking for sweet yet professional, talented and hard-working photographers in Orange County.

This review is way beyond past overdue. And normally I'd be too busy (lazy) to post a review about…read morean overdue experience, but I must share how wonderful Moae Photography is. Moae Photography took my son O's 1st Birthday photos last year. I wish I remembered his name (Moae's husband)....but it's a husband/wife team of really friendly, talented photographers. To be honest, I don't even recall how I found them in the first place. I blame momnesia. They both met us at Katie Wheeler Library in Irvine on a ridiculously hot day last September. O did not walk back then, so we had to hold that little sucker the entire shoot. And I'll be the first one to admit - my firstborn was/is not the calmest, gentlest, easiet baby. I think he cried 80% of the shoot. Mr. Moae was behind the camera that day. Moae was there to help out. Despite an uncooperative baby and weather, Mr. Moae was so x 100 friendly, patient, kind, and Moae tried anything and everything to make O smile (more like stop crying). They brought all the props necessary and albeit the library is tiny but they knew all the right places to go to for the best photos. Mr. Moae came to O's birthday party a few weeks after this outdoor shoot and he did an amzaing job there, too. I think he stayed longer than he was contracted to and I remember him being professional and friendly the entire time. Now this is where the real review begins.... Since O's first birthday, I had a second baby. Don't get me wrong. Mr. Moae was really good. Our outdoor and party photos came out great. But recently, Moae herself took my second son G's 100 day photos. And I'm just being honest since this is an honest review, but I think she's better than her hubs. (Gawd, I hope I don't cause World War III in their household but being honest never hurt, right?) They are both unbelievably patient and friendly. But I think her photos are even better. So I truly think they (she) deserves a review now. We didn't plan on doing 100 day photos for G. But with G completing our family - our bare walls deserved a photo or two of us. I didn't hesitate about which photographer I should contact. With a tight budget (a new house, another baby...we were getting robbed every month), I knew Moae Photography's prices were reasonable, if not the best bang for our buck. I didn't know it was going to be Moae herself this time around until we showed up for the session. (And my choice to book them was soley based on her husband's work last year, so I'm not lying...he's really great too! **my guilty conscience..) Moae offered a complimentary outdoor shoot along with the studio session. Can I just say - their studio is just too cute! And the package was only for 40 photos but we recently received the file of all of the phtoos and she took waaay more! And the package was really for G, but it ended up being a family photo session, and I'm sure taking photos of four is much more difficult than taking photos of just one 3 month old. This day was stinkin' hot, too! And did I mention, my firstborn O, is not the most cooperative child? As if he needed to prove he's the same boy from last year's photo session, this day, he was just as uncooperative. Not crying this time around but running off, not wanting to sit for pictures, wanting to get into and touch anything and everything in sight. But somehow, Moae was able to capture the most amazing shots. Watching my rambunctious toddler made me tired. I kept wanting to call it a day, but she kept coming up with a different location, different poses, different shots. I coudln't believe how patient and professional she was. Her photos of O make him look like was an angel that day. God is fair, because my second son G, truly was an angel that day. Moae took the cutest photos of G and I couldn't be more grateful. I would highly recommend Moae to anyone out there looking to do a baby/family photo shoot. Her prices are unbeatable. Her studio is to die for. She is so gentle and friendly with the little ones. Most importantly...her work is amazing! I know there are tons of photoraphy offers/specials that pop up on livingsocial / groupon / yelp, but I didn't want to fall for those deals only to get pressured to buy prints or get jipped on limited number of photos, time, and attention. There is none of that with Moae. Without a doubt, I will be contacting her again for G's 1st birthday early next year!

I asked her who would be the best to contact for newborn photos and Hana was her number one recommendation. So I'm not very surprised that everything went seamlessly. She was so professional, punctual, and most of all made you feel so comfortable especially when you're recovering from postpartum. Extra bonus for having great noonchi! She also provided a box of super cute and feminine clothes for mama to wear and so many beautiful swaddles and headpieces to pick out yourself for your baby. It also helps to know she has three kids of her own so she definitely knows how to handle your child with care. Thank you Hana! I can't wait to see how the photos turn out!

They said the turnaround time for photos is normally 3-4 weeks but bc I was pressed for time, they kindly expedited my photos and got them in less than a week right in time for our event. I am grateful!! I think for the price, this place is absolutely worth it for photos. The backdrops are adorable and their clothing selection for babies are great.

The photo studio is located inside AR Galleria (the main galleria entrance was locked on Sunday afternoon so I had to enter through the side door via Cafe Lowell). [Parking]: Easy and free parking in the large plaza. [Reservation]: I was able to call and book a same-day reservation on Sunday. Visitors can also make an online reservation via the studio's website. Upon arrival, I scanned a QR code and signed a waiver before the owner started my 5-minute photo session. [Price]: $27 for 4 physical copies and digital copies to download via email (must be downloaded within 7 days). I did not initially receive an email, but I emailed the owner the next day about the download link and he sent a follow-up email with the link within a few hours (the email was hidden in my spam folder). The email included all the pictures taken during the session. The shop also makes photo keychains ($4+ each). The studio also offers 15-minute and 30-minute self-portrait sessions. [Studio]: While I was here for a passport photo, the studio mainly operates as a self-portrait studio where customers take photos of themselves. This small studio has all the props and camera setup needed to make it happen. [Process]: The owner had me sit on a chair and took 7 pictures. Out of the 7 pictures taken, I was able to choose one for him to print while the rest of pictures can be downloaded via a link in an email. It was more important to receive a digital copy because the US passport renewal process requires applicants to upload a digital photo rather than submit a physical copy. I was able to use one of the digital copies and now that same picture will be on my passport for the next 10 years before the next renewal timeline. [Conclusion]: Overall it was an efficient process and I was able to walk in and out within 15 minutes. However, it would be helpful for the studio to provide additional entry instructions on the website when the main galleria entrance is locked.

I applaud their attention to detail, down to helping me decide what time the appointment should be based on my baby's nap time!

It was a bit overwhelming but the two ladies picked out lovely options for us and we are so glad we took their suggestions because... These photos turned out to be amazing. They had my baby cracking up through the entire 90 minute shoot, which included 4 different outfits - an almost impossible feat for an impatient one year old!
