Bom Photography

I first met Paul with my mother- he was highly professional, showed sample albums, talked about his style and approach to photography, and explained the whole process thoroughly and patiently (in English with me since I'm more fluent in English and also in Korean with my mother who is more comfortable with Korean). He was also very gracious about adjusting the plans to meet my budget. Communicating with him was easy throughout. The day of wedding, he and his associate made it so effortless AND FUN for everyone (me, husband, family, wedding party) to pose for the camera. He really knew how to use the lighting in the environment (inside and outdoors), background, angles, and so on to capture the most precious moments. He and his associate also went around our venue to find the most beautiful places. They helped everyone feel comfortable and gave quick posing tips throughout. We didn't have a videographer, but Paul brought his 360 camera to capture essential moments in video. The execution was beyond perfect. Everyone was highly impressed by their professionalism and talent. Our parents could not stop raving about them. The only difficult thing has been picking photos for our album out of +1000 amazing photos. THANK YOU!

oth the engagement session and the wedding this past May. Not only is he able to capture the moment's beauty, he works diligently to create a lasting memory that really made our day a special one. I would like to command his professionalism, patience, and work ethic that shines through a busy day. On both engagement session and our wedding day, he went above and beyond to produce the photos that reflect our wedding vision. I am looking forward to working with Paul for our future occasions. Thank you so much!

s, I went Bōm Photography since I was liked Paul's vision and artistic stylist. I appreciated his very prompt, courteous and professional demeanor. Very accommodating and fulfilled our needs beyond expectation. I did not intend to go with a Korean speaking photographer but it helped out so much especially with many of my family and parents' friends. Paul and Caylena worked well with the crowds and giving direction without it seeming awkward or intrusive. Very patient when dealing with some dramatic family members too. Was helpful when drawing out the day's timeline and answered lots of questions I had. I was very happy with my decision to go with Paul and his team. I can't wait to see the pics!

d had a great attitude that made us feel comfortable throughout the entire engagement photo session / wedding. His pricing is fair and he's willing to work with you in creating a custom package that best fits what you're looking for. His pictures are composed beautifully, and always come off very natural. We had a great time posing for you - thank you for capturing all our special moments! Highly highly recommend!

NYC. They were with us taking pictures before the ceremony, during, and after, through the end of the reception. They captured ALL of the family and friend shots we needed, and also so many creative, artistic, and romantic shots as well. I didn't realize how lovely they would be until I saw them. Paul really has a great eye for a beautiful shot, and we have so many photographs that are far beyond your typical "wedding photo". Paul's patience, professionalism, skill, and artistic eye were all deeply appreciated. Everyone who has seen the wedding album LOVES the photos. His photography is highly recommended, and I will certainly hire him again in the future!!!

nd and I love their hands off approach at capturing genuine interactions rather than staging photos. Paul and Sumee are a beautiful couple themselves and a pleasure to work with. They are professional, quick to respond, and very helpful. We were a bit nervous for our engagement shoot, but Paul was great at directing us to get the perfect shots. It was the same on our wedding day. Paul worked great with our videographers to tell our story the best way possible. Our wedding was gorgeously captured. They will be photos we cherish forever. We can't thank you enough! Love, Jasmine & Peter

fficult to find a photographer for our wedding because we are incredibly picky, and I dabble in amateur photography, so I have incredibly high standards for both composition and technical execution. However, Paul’s work speaks for itself, but it also tells a story. The photographs move you, they elicit an emotional response and show you something that likely escaped your eye on the magical day. Paul’s photographs are unique, his technique is flawless, and his creativity is unparalleled. He captured moments that happened in a millisecond and such moments made all the difference. BoM photography is a husband and wife team and both were incredibly easy to work with. They are also incredibly likeable, polite, professional and obviously passionate about their craft. The engagement shoot with them was a lot of fun and we noticed how quickly Paul uses the environment around him to capture something truly original. On the wedding day, they were there early and left late. I felt like they did not stop shooting the entire time that they were there. In the end we got photographs that were beautifully edited, and captured our special day in all its glory. The editing is incredibly detail oriented. Each photograph (1700 total) was edited with meticulousness and care. It is probably the only time that I see a photograph and do not have a craving to start editing the image in RAW. They are this good.

is staff are absolutely amazing. Paul has always been super responsive with his emails and I appreciated so much the teams' work. They seriously had to be all over the place for my wedding. I highly recommend BOM. I couldn't believe how many photos they took and all of them are so beautiful. Really glad I chose them :)

e comfortable and that everything was simply PERFECT! We previously had a horrible nightmarish experience with a different unprofessional company (see my other reviews) so we were certainly blessed to find Bōm Photography. They are a very skilled and creative team, and the photos were STUNNING. The quality of the photography really speaks for itself. If you are looking for reliable and professional photographers to beautifully capture those precious and intimate moments on any special day, then you definitely want to book this team!

ate some of the revisions. They were more than willing to accommodate majority of the contract revisions. So we assumed after saying "YES" in being available and "Yes" to several of the contract revisions, we assumed they were ok in doing our wedding. So on August 21st we sent a final email to confirm the last amendments and setup our engagement photo session and sign off on the contract officially and put our reservation deposit down. Paul responds - “Hope you had a good weekend. Unfortunately I am no longer available to photograph your wedding.” Now I am paraphrasing - but he essentially decided to take a vacation that week of our wedding date.. HUH? So after a month later he decides to take a trip to Europe during our wedding date, but didn’t decide to tell us till August 25th. We sent the first email for availability - he said "YES", not after the second time when we sent in a entire list of contract revisions "mostly yes", and definitely by the third or fourth email - he then waits to tell us after a month later when we are ready to sign off the contract he is going to go on a family vacation, which I totally understand but right at our time? He then recommends one of his friend’s to us as a backup! He wouldn't respond to my emails immediately and definitely did not return my calls except to tell me he was in meetings and then finally writes an email explaining further his reasons why he is unable to do my our wedding! I believe this is completely unprofessional and I haven't dealt with a business who says "YES" I am available but changed his mind a month later after going through contract revisions.. I would NEVER recommend this photographer to anyone since Paul wasted my time stringing us along and then telling us No after a month later going through hours of revising the contract and assuming his availability!! He responds in telling us he is taking a family vacation which I totally understand but he had to take it during exactly this time?? Something does NOT add up and I am extremely disappointed and upset that he wasted our time when we could have spent time with finding a photographer who would be truly available and not back out after going through contract revisions!! What kind of business does that? I will be filing a BBB complaint with regards to this situation! AND IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE OUR EMAIL COMMUNICATION I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO SHARE IT!!

only met on location shortly before the ceremony but the results have blown us away. Paul managed to switch between two cameras and capture over 500 photos in two short hours and they are more than we could dream of. He was very flexible, willing to go to all our desired location and we got all the shots we wanted in the designated time. He was driven and active and did not make us feel small, just because it was only an elopement. Most importantly, he figured us out very quickly - when y husband did not like a suggestion for a particular pose, Paul quickly figured out what style we are looking for and managed to stick with it the rest of the time. Paul is amazing and we are very thankful we found him.

nd portfolios of photographers in hopes of finding one to capture our most special of days. I immediately saw creativity, emotion and skill in BOM’s photography that was not present in others. I made contact with Paul and Sumee, a husband and wife team, and we arranged to meet with and discuss our photography needs. We were working within a budget and BOM was accommodating and able to tailor a package for us. Quickly impressed, we soon booked BOM to shoot our wedding. Paul and I corresponded with each other periodically during the months leading up to our wedding. He was always professional, responsive and involved. We were provided with client-side access to his website, where all our documents were readily available. He also provided a template for a wedding timeline, which was very helpful to us. The day of the wedding, Paul and his assistant photographer were fantastic! They were professional, eager, and diligent. Not only a pleasure to work with, but they also worked well with the other vendors at the venue. BOM Photography kept a low profile and adeptly adapted to any changes. The quality of photography speaks for itself, BOM Photography succeeded in expressing something intangible...the essence of our wedding day. My wife and I treasure these photographs as tangible keepsakes that we will love for the rest of our lives. Most certainly, money was well spent! BOM Photography is definitely the best!!!

o shoot our engagement photos in Brooklyn, and did a great job for our wedding. The couple photographers arrived the make up studio early in the morning and stayed with us until the end of the reception. After the wedding, we received all the original pictures and a online blog which our families who live far away can always go back to enjoy the pictures. I got a lot of compliments about my wedding photos.
