Bo Shim

work at first sight. You are so friendly, organized, talented, flexible, and experienced! We truly appreciate your time and also your team starting from the morning all the way through the night! Thank you again for making our wedding so special!!!

hectic day. Would highly recommend working with her1

is highly professional – communication was easy and she was very flexible when working with scheduling and locations. Having her shoot our engagement let us get to know her and her style, as well as for her to get to know us and our story. The rehearsal dinner had a very different setting than the wedding, but Bo was flexible, unobtrusive, and sensitive to our family dynamics and how best to capture our paebaek ceremony. On the big day, Bo expertly guided us through different shooting locations to get the most out of the light and the amazing backdrop of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Bo takes amazing care to capture the fine details of everything – whether it’s the flat lay, emotional moments, or lively dancing. Her second photographer, Chester, handled my getting ready photos, and I can honestly say they were some of the best photos of me I’ve ever seen. We made a decision early in our wedding planning to not have a videographer, and we have ZERO regrets. She works quickly and efficiently in any setting, and can turn around amazing photos in record time. Bo’s photos made us look our best on the first and most important day of our lives together. We are eternally grateful for her ability and passion for photography. Thanks to her, we and our families will be able to cherish these moments forever! -Lindsay & Dmitriy

ur special day. Bo has a very special ability to capture candid, real moments during the day as well as being extremely talented at portraits. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding, and we will cherish the memories she captured for us for the rest of our lives.

h. She gave us guidance on portraits, timelines for the wedding day, and had such good energy throughout the entire wedding day. We felt so comfortable around her as she took stunning portrait photos of us and our family and friends and candids (that we were excited about!). We received a beautiful set of photos just days after the wedding and then the complete collection within 2 months, which is an incredible timeline! This is so important as we anxiously awaited our pictures for the great memories. Her level of communication is outstanding - we received responses within minutes at times and every single question was answered to make us feel calm and ready for our big day. Her work is truly a masterpiece and you want to work with someone who gets you and sees your vision from the very beginning. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

ing the day through the photos, which perfectly captured all of our favorite moments. Bo has such a keen eye and made so many incredible artistic decisions that made our photos really special. Everyone that we've shown them to has asked us the same question, "How are you going to pick?" We are so appreciative of the hard work that Bo and team did to make our wedding day so special. We will treasure these photos for a lifetime and can't wait to have an occasion to have Bo take photos for us again!

vice for brides: pick vendors whose work you love, yes, but pick people with a lot of humanity who will stay steady no matter what happens on the day of your event. Bo and her talented team were all of these things -- she fit right into the day, asserted herself when it was necessary, and didn't try to twist us into all kinds of overly posed shots. Both the quality of her work and the experience of working with her was 5/5 and I would recommend her to any bride looking to capture beautifully staged details and natural, candid poses, edited meticulously and professionally (yes, the quality of the editing also REALLY matters and this is a talented photographer AND editor!) Thank you, Bo, for photographs that we will cherish for many, many years to come.

ork with! Highly recommend for any wedding or family photos.

re incredibly pleasant and professional. We met Bo at the wedding of friends, and we were impressed with her style and attitude immediately. I cannot say enough great things about Bo. Best money we spent for the whole affair. Pictures can last a lifetime, and I'm so glad we had Bo to take ours. As a bonus, Bo entered some of our photos in Martha Stewart Weddings, and we were lucky enough to be featured.

the camera, and there's no one else we'd rather spend our entire wedding day with. She is an expert at capturing candids and all your emotions—you barely even notice her presence during the ceremony & reception, and then she sends you the best photos you'll ever see. Truly 10000/10. Bo is the best!!!!

s for itself! She always captured the soft romantic moments which I loved. Her edits include a few black and whites which were thoughtfully chosen and special. Amazing to work with, professional, talented and thoughtful!

arts wedding photographer to be - meticulous, flexible, and thoughtful. She exhibited these qualities time and time again. Not only during the wedding, but also during our engagement shoot, the planning process, as well as well after the wedding. Our wedding (like so many others) called for many pivots and obstacles due to the pandemic. Bo handled them gracefully and flowed in and around a HECTIC and CHAOTIC process like a breath of fresh air. I won't speak to her photographs - her portfolio speaks for itself! Photos last a forever and milestones such as weddings are once in a lifetime. Do yourself a favor and hire someone who understands and values that! You will find that in Bo Shim. P.S. We plan to work with Bo for future non-wedding shoots. How often do you find vendors who make you feel that comfortable in front of the camera? :)

rrent previews of our wedding photos have already made us cry countless of times. We simply cannot believe that those two women are us. You, and your staff, pay such attention to detail and made us feel so comfortable during the 8 hours we were together. We could not have our wedding any other way, we are so happy to have shared our intimate day with such a humble human but with such passion for her craft. Thank you for everything and we cannot wait to see all the beautiful photos!

perfect shot, and wow, does she know her way around light! We had the absolute best experience working with Bo. She made us look beautiful and feel comfortable, and she captured all the sweet, loving, fun and silly moments of each day as well as the most gorgeous detail shots. Bo also was responsive to emails in the months leading up to the wedding, and she got us back a sneak peek of last weekend's wedding within days, even with her very busy schedule. Her work is impeccable, and she's a pleasure to be around to boot. If you're considering working with Bo, don't hesitate to reach out to her. I can't say enough amazing things.

with daylight, and Bo worked so quickly and thoroughly, to keep us on track and get every shot we wanted. Her and her team even helped round up both sides of our extended families to get all of our family photos in before our cocktail hour so we could enjoy the party. The photos themselves are absolutely STUNNING - one is more beautiful than the next and I will seriously cherish them forever! I highly recommend Bo and her amazing team - they're the best!

ment where me and my husband look the best (especially portraits). She also captured some of the most beautiful/touching candid moments during our wedding which is super special. Also she has been so kind and flexible as we were one of those covid planning couples. I highly recommend x 100000 !

a wedding, she also captured so many little moments that are just beyond special to us! She is also extremely organized, calm and lovely to be around which trust me, is very important on your wedding day! We hired her to capture our Friday Welcome Party and Wedding Day and hands down, best decision ever!

another. I don't love getting my picture taken, but Bo made me feel so comfortable and gave me the exact amount of direction I needed to feel natural and beautiful.

andled everything with grace. She was the first vendor to check in with us when our final wedding date was approaching. She basically helped us plan photoshoot timeline which made it a lot easier for us to communicate to other vendors. On the wedding day, Bo and our videographer worked seamlessly together and truly brought our vision to life. She is incredibly talented and captured so many beautiful moments and we can’t stop looking at our photos. If you are here because you like the soft/romantic style of her photos, look no further – she is a dream to work with!

photo. We got married during COVID and our wedding plans changed at the last second and she still made herself available and drove out to Stony Brook, NY to capture our day. She was a pleasure to work with and I am obsessed with our wedding photos. If you're looking for high quality, beautiful work, go with Bashful Captures!

elped me feel like we had nothing to worry about in capturing our day. She is extremely flexible with planning + executing complex schedules on the day. She also provides really great recommendations and advice for your special day that only comes with experience and skill. I would fully recommend her to any of my friends.

o reach out and book Bo after reviewing her portfolio online and her photos on social media. From our initial correspondence with Bo up until our wedding day, she was extremely professional and prompt in addressing our questions and concerns each step of the way. She made herself readily available for several phone calls to discuss details and review changes before our big day. Bo has such a bright and warm personality that made us feel very comfortable having fun and being ourselves during our engagement photoshoot with her. Our wedding day could not have been a more beautiful and exciting celebration with her presence. She is so talented in capturing the most precious moments and helping turn them into beautiful memories. Our photos from both our engagement photoshoot and wedding were truly stunning! For any other couples that are seeking an engagement or wedding photographer, we would highly recommend Bo!

professional. I actually almost missed her email at first among the many vendors who I emailed. I had talked to many awesome photographers, but I always felt like something was missing. Once I went back and asked Bo for a gallery, there was no way I could hire anyone else. Her photographs are just at a different level. Each photograph in her gallery was taken and edited with absolute thought and care. There was a certain element of cohesiveness and natural light. I love the way she composes her photos and takes advantage of natural lighting. Bo brings a huge level of passion into her work and it shows. I find her photos incredibly timeless, and I know we’ll look back at them with lots of joy and love. About 2.5 months before our wedding, COVID-19 hit and we were forced to postpone. Bo helped us through this hurdle with grace. As is evident by her other reviews, Bo is incredibly professional and responsive. I never worried about how she would be able to take lead on the day of the wedding, which is incredibly important. She took the most beautiful photographs, even with the weather being uncertain that day. My family all commented how amazing she was, and how she was able to keep everyone calm. We are so grateful for you, Bo!

was great as well. If you book with Bo and Bashful Captures, you will be making a great decision

ut she managed to stay patient with us the entire time, giving us direction that made us feel comfortable. The pictures also came out absolutely amazing. I love her photography style and have heard so many compliments on our photos. I would recommend Bo to anyone in need for a photographer, even if it's not wedding related.

ed out that we immediately reached out to her for our engagement photoshoot in Central Park and Dumbo. Having worked with Yun twice in just a few months, I can’t say enough good things about her - she is professional, courteous, sweet, and always goes above and beyond to ensure she gets the highest quality photos. She gave us enough space and room during the photoshoot to capture candid shots, yet also managed to direct her shots when needed. Would without a doubt recommend her to our friends and family and anyone in need of a photographer!

te and book Bashful Captures!

pleasant to communicate with and paid close attention to detail throughout the entire process.

. So we were very happy when she became available to shoot our micro-wedding. In the lead-up to the event, she was always so responsive, so friendly and warm. She even gave us tips on decor and photography locations around NYC (I'm convinced she knows Central Park like the back of her hand). She managed to capture our love and affection for each other in such a natural, candid way. We would 100% recommend Bo for couples photography sessions & weddings!

planning process and finally meeting on the day of the wedding, she made us and our wedding party/family feel super at ease throughout the day while taking photos and capturing all of the special moments! Our wedding was initially supposed to be in July and we ended up having it in October (due to Covid) and all along the way, she was super flexible and understanding and helped us to keep calm and guide us through the wedding day photo schedule and process! Thank you, Bo!!

of our wedding, she was very professional and produced very good work. Our first experience with her was during our engagement shoot, and from the way she directed the shots we could tell that she knew what she was doing and that she puts the best effort into making sure she will take the highest quality photos possible. In the end, they came out amazing, and we were very satisfied with her shots! Not only that, she is very easy to work with, responds in a timely manner, and delivers you the photos very quickly! We would highly recommend Bo to anyone who is looking for someone with a lot of talent and experience!

orn shoot. Bo is incredible, not only because she is so talented, but she makes you feel so comfortable when being photographed. during our ceremony and reception she and her assistant got wonderful shots, but I wouldn't have even known they were there. they were both extremely professional and unobtrusive while getting the most beautiful photos. thank you so much for capturing our perfect day!

PERFECT day that we had. Her use of natural light made our photos feel unique and different from the wedding photos we had seen of our other married friends, and from other photographers we had looked at during the vetting process. During the planning process she was extremely easy to work with, and understanding too! We were both in really busy work periods leading up to the wedding and were unable to fit in our engagement shoot so she was great in working with us around that. I do wish we could have fit that in as I know the photos would have turned out amazing! During our day, her and her assistant were fantastic, and just a pleasure to be around while they captured our special day. Barely anyone even noticed them taking photos at our church ceremony! Our one request was that we could enjoy most of our cocktail hour, and they were able to stay on schedule and get all the bridal party, wedding party, and family shots in before then, so we could mingle with our guests. We didn't get a videographer and I am actually really glad that we didn't pay for one because when I look at our wedding photos, they perfectly tell the story of our special day. I can't thank Bo enough for capturing our wedding day so elegantly and I hope I get to work with her again in the future for another special life event. I highly recommend her to all bride-to-be's!!

in person because we loved what we saw. We were very drawn to the artistic style of her photography and the attention to details. In terms of wedding planning and execution, she was always accessible via phone call, text or email and responds very quickly. At no point were we ever concerned or worried about Wedding Day because she follows a very organized and detailed schedule that even allows her to arrive early to begin shooting. We would totally recommend Bo to anyone looking for a photographer! You’ll be obsessed with the final photos <3

bsolute pleasure to work with! I can't say enough great things about Bo!

our photos. She keeps in constant communication with you and is quick to answer any questions or concerns you may have which is helpful in making the wedding process a whole lot less stressful. Prior to meeting Bo, my husband and I were worried how our photos would turn out only because we’re the most awkward couple ever and cannot for the life of us pose properly for photos, but she made the whole process so fun and relaxed that any smiles or laughs she captured were all truly genuine! Our engagement and wedding photos turned out so so beautiful – better than we could have ever imagined. All our friends and families were raving about how beautiful they all came out. We even had friends who had already gotten married comment on how they wish they booked Bo as their wedding photographer instead because of how gorgeous our photos turned out. How crazy is that?! I mean… I would have felt the same way if I didn’t have Bo as our wedding photographer too! So many people have reached out to us about her services and we can not recommend her enough! We honestly have no regrets and would totally book her again if we could do it all over. My husband and I feel so lucky to have had her for our wedding and have nothing but great things to say about her. She’s truly amazing in all aspects and we’re forever grateful for her work.

ible in adjusting the contract after life got crazy and we weren't able to squeeze in our engagement photos. On the day, she was incredible. She knew exactly where to go, was calm throughout when everyone decided they wanted group photos after the ceremony and ate into the sunset hour. She and her assistant worked seamlessly, was never intruding, and took gorgeous photos and I will forever be grateful.

oking at her website and Instagram, I was really interested. A lot of wedding photographers that we were looking at had a darker, moodier look and we really wanted a light, happy, bright look to our photos. After talking with Bo and looking at more of her work, we knew we wanted to go with her. Bo and Eileen were our two photographers on the day of the wedding - they both and such a calm, professional, yet happy vibe that made us and our wedding parties feel excited yet calm and taken care of. Bo's direction was perfect - helpful, direct, but friendly and not too "pose-y." We were a little behind when it was time for family photos (not their fault at all - our flowers were late which held up some of the portraits), but Bo and Eileen called out and took photos quickly and efficiently. We have a large complicated family so it was a lot of people to wrangle! We got our preview photos two days after the wedding and they are beautiful. I can't stop looking at them. I would highly recommend Bo & Bashful Captures to any of my friends getting married! She was truly wonderful and I can't say enough good things.

important to me) Photography was one of the most important details for me in terms of my wedding, she was very helpful going over the timeline with me, which was super helpful. So in the beginning I didn’t want to do a ‘first look’ because I thought it would take away any special feelings my husband will have if he saw me before, but after meeting Bo it was one less wedding detail I didn’t have to worry about, she advised not only it won’t take away any special feelings, it will ensure more intimate photos of us together. I got married 8.18.18. Bo & her assistant showed up & went right to work, they were very easy, friendly and calming to me, the day of. My fiancé & I were kinda clueless when it came to posing for pictures for our big day ( didn’t want to look stiff) nor did we want our pictures to look to ‘cookie cutter’ but after some helpful coaching from Bo... it was all good. 🤗

st for our pictures. We absolutely loved our engagement photos and we blew them up to display at our wedding. We spoke several times before the wedding date to go over the details so I didn't feel lost in the process. Bo and her 2nd shooter were amazing on my wedding day! They came early to the hotel we were getting ready at and captured all of the pre-wedding moments with my girls and separately with my husband and his groomsman. It was a long day! Pictures at 3 different locations but Bo was super supportive guiding us from shoot to shoot. The USB with our pictures were delivered to us in a beautiful glass box. Bo did an amazing job at capturing so many genuine, natural smiles and laughs between my husband and I, not the posed/forced looks I was afraid was going to happen. The pictures also have a consistent airy and romantic feel to them, love that you can tell that each photo is professionally taken. I hope to work with her again!

ackage to my needs and budget, and her photo gallery and blogs are gorgeous so I booked her right away. My husband and I are not great with pictures and don’t really enjoy taking them, but I booked a session for engagement photos so we could get some practice. I’m so glad I did! In our 1 hour session, Bo had us walk around Central Park, it was very easy and relaxed and she got some great shots that we used for our save the dates. On the day of the wedding, Bo was a dream. My bridesmaids wished they had booked her for their weddings, too! She has an easy and way about her that’s calming, even on such a hectic and high pressure day. She truly captured the stunning venue, and took a wide variety of both staged and also so many candid moments throughout the night. I feel so grateful and lucky I was able to work with Bo. Having a great photographer is so important, and I’m so happy I have so many beautiful pictures to remember the day, the memories and to make me smile. I feel like I really did something right hiring Bo! I would recommend her to ANY bride in a heartbeat. :) XOXO

ersonally knowing anyone who used Bashful Captures before. Bo was extremely professional, and her style was EXACTLY what I envisioned for wedding photos. Months prior to our wedding, we had multiple phone conversations about the style and types of shots we wanted to include. On the day of our wedding, Bo’s team moved quickly to capture all of our desired shots (plus more). I expected to receive our photos about 5 months after our wedding, but I was pleasantly surprised to receive them after only two months. She sent me a beautiful glass box with rose gold trim that perfectly matched our wedding theme. The box contained a handwritten thank you card, usb stick, and a huge stack of prints - DID NPT EXPECT THAT AT ALL! I was so impressed with the quality of her photos, thoughtful package of photos, and timely delivery. I only wish that I lived closer to the NY area so that I can use her again for future events and recommend her to others. Thank you, Bo.

oft, and romantic. She was available to meet and has had many years of wedding photography experience which is evident in her work. I spoke to several other references who all loved working with her and had nothing but great things to say! After my wedding day this past May, I would definitely have to agree. Wedding days can be stressful but I was so grateful to have chosen Bo as my photographer. Throughout the whole process, she was highly responsive and available to answer any questions/concerns I had. Thanks to her organization, she helped me put together a wedding outline to detail the days events. She was sweet, calm, experienced, flexible, and really spent the time to walk us through the day. Her professional demeanor really put us at ease and we really had a great time being photographed so the pictures came out really natural. I HIGHLY recommend her for anyone. We really LOVE our wedding photos and cannot ask for a better photographer!

on I made. She took both my engagement & wedding photos and I can't wait to book her again for the future! Highly recommended!

nd airy. Bo's photos captured all these qualities and more. She was very helpful throughout the process and made sure to make a list with me of moments i wanted to make sure to capture on my wedding day. On the wedding day it did get a little hectic, but Bo was so professional and detailed. Later on I was worried certain moments weren't caught and I couldn't even remember if I took solo shots outside! But Bo was able to quickly turn around preview photos for us within a week of our wedding and i was relieved to see that Bo did get solo shots and detailed shots that I forgot about. Everyone who has seen our preview photos has raved about them and said how they look like a fairy tale. I can't wait to see the rest but had to give Bo at bashful captures a raving review for her work.
