Frank J Lee Photography

ts. The final photos were nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend him to anyone since our experience with them was nothing short of exceptional. You could tell how happy he was to take our photos throughout the shoot which showed us how passionate he is. I will book with him in the future again

ents, we met Frank Lee. Frank was absolutely amazing from our first email communication with him. His passion for his craft and care for his clients were so apparent in every communication. We hired Frank for our September 2022 wedding, and are so glad we did. Not only are our photos amazing, but the entire experience with Frank leading up to our wedding day was incredible. His creativity and artistic talents were apparent in every photo he took. His organizational skills, professionalism and ability to make friends and family who did not like taking pictures, comfortable, made the entire process fun and easy. Frank's ability to capture special moments allows us to relive our special day, every time we view our wedding album. Thank you Frank for your genuine care and personal touch that was clear and felt, with every interaction. I would whole heartedly recommend Frank.

nk was amazing to work with, from his communication to flexibility, I wouldn't change a thing. I wish we would have known him when we needed a wedding photographer because our experience with him was night and day from the last photographer we worked with, in the best way. You won't regret your decision to work with him or trust him with your most important moments. Thank you, Frank! We are so blessed to have been introduced to you and your team.

le family loved his kind energy and attention to detail. He even brought the photos I wanted to take on his phone so he could pose my husband and me. We had a short ceremony, but I did not even see him moving around a whole lot which is nice because for me a photographer that runs all over makes it hard for family and friends to enjoy the ceremony. He, along with my sisters and MoH made sure I got all the family photos I wanted and solo photos. Although we did run out of time for portraits, which was not his fault, he still took many beautiful photos, and I am planning to hire him for an additional photoshoot for my husband and me. He is extremely sweet and I 100% recommend him to anyone who wants gorgeous photos and a kind human behind the lens.

iring a photographer was feeling comfortable and Frank nailed it. He's easy going, patient, and we laughed through most of our shoots - he really captured our love and we had a blast taking pictures with him. The photo quality is amazing and we are SO happy with the number of different shots/locations. Frank is willing (and excited) to go above and beyond. His excitement rubbed off on us, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the entire experience. We will certainly be hiring him for any future photo shoots we have!

eally enjoyed what he was doing -- he loved taking the photo shoots and that joy and passion really overflowed to everyone. He always showed us some of the photos he took out of joy, and that made the process so fun. Looking at the actual photos, we could tell that he really has a gift of making every background count, choosing the right angle and light, and making a beautiful scene even in very normal everyday backgrounds. We absolutely love his photos. He was also very professional about his commitments - he came to all the site visits with us a week before the wedding to check it out even though they were quite far from where he is. We are so thankful for him, and even my parents loved him! Frank is really great.

ing to know Frank and he was easy to work with. We were both a little awkward and nervous about engagement photos, but Frank made us feel comfortable throughout the process and we ended up having a lot of fun during the shoot. At that point we knew that the wedding photos would be easy. Added bonus, Frank's price points are good for the Bay Area.

amazing qualities, but I will try. He was incredibly responsive to all inquiries and made me feel reassured throughout the entire wedding planning process and on the wedding day. He arrived on time (often early) to every event, completely ready to go. He was utterly professional in his conduct throughout the entire event. What's probably most special about Frank, though, was his pure joy and helpfulness, which he exuded at all times. He was so friendly with all of our guests, and truly felt like a part of the party. We recommend that you hire Frank now! :)

o work with. We are so glad that we chose him to capture our special day. He was punctual, met with us beforehand to make sure he understood expectations, and afterwards helped guide us to create a beautiful photo album. I would not hesitate to hire him again if I had another special occassion.

ld contort his body to get that ONE shot and he would not stop until he got it just right. Frank has a calming energy about him. This helped me as I am not especially comfortable in front of a camera. But his patience and supportive attitude helped me to relax. He is also incredibly patient with uncooperative family members, always calm, professional, and polite. I can not imagine a better photographer to hire for ANY special occasion. We were incredibly lucky to hire him and we plan to use him in the future for other events.

us feel so comfortable. All of our family members and guests could not stop raving about how great his energy was! The pictures turned out BREATHTAKING and we got them in a timely fashion. If you need an amazing photographer for your next event, Frank is your man!

it! My fiance and I had an engagement shoot with Frank last week. We just received our photos, and we love them! Frank took us to a busy park in the middle of downtown San Jose. At first glance, I was doubtful that it would be a good background, but he looked around, found amazing spots, and made it look simply magical. Frank has an eye for incredible composition, and was able to direct our poses and expressions so that we looked great in every shot. He showed us what he wanted us to do and helped us achieve the looks we wanted, and he explained his reasoning for his directions each time, which was so helpful. Frank was energetic and excited and professional and "on" during our whole shoot, and he made us feel comfortable and glamorous. Even though we are unaccustomed to being in front of the camera, by the end of the session we felt great, and our pictures show it! People have been absolutely LOVING our photos -- friends have said they're the quality you'd expect to see on a magazine cover. Thank you, Frank!! We will cherish these photos forever!

ather owned a photo processing business for 20 years so I've developed an eye on what good photographs are. It was important that my photographer loved photography. He/she should not be in the business because it is lucrative. This is important because camera technology nowadays makes any novice look like a professional. My sister's wedding photographer was exactly that. She had a nice camera, but she had no recommendations of lighting and did not "control" the crowd. You want an aggressive photographer that will gather your friends and family for the shoot. She was not very good and the pictures showed. I'm also old school, and wanted a photographer that has fundamentals from print film days. Frank Lee Photography puts all of these concerns to rest! Some photographers I interviewed made me feel like I was in a car dealership. It was much like a discussion of a sale/contract & terms. There are also others who are a bit arrogant. One photographer even said, "you get what you pay for you know.." That kind of attitude. To some extent, I think that is true, but not always. Or...."I'm not available, but my partner (2nd tier photographer) is and we're going to charge you the same price" Really? I had one photographer who contracted out the shoot and he's there only to edit the pictures and collect money! In my opinion, the photographer should always be the editor. When I interviewed Frank, it immediately felt right. He was so enthusiastic about his craft and photography. He has international and big city experience. It is very important to be well versed in diverse cultures and surroundings. I asked him about his style and he answered it spot on. He said he likes to capture the raw emotions, unedited. Good photographers look for these opportunities. They don't need you to pose to get you a good shot. It might sound like an obvious answer to some, but common sense is not so common. I wanted the raw emotions captured and a good photographer need to see the opportunities before they develops. I love Frank not because the things I've already mentioned, it is because of the little things. For example: - He visited the venue the day before the shoot to familiarize himself with the surroundings and the agenda - He had his partner pose and mimic the steps taken by the wedding party and the bride - During our engagement shoot, he suggested to keep shooting because he was having such a good time shooting us! (even though we were dead tired) - He was flexible on payment and never felt like he rushed me for payment. He trusted me. - He controlled the crowd. - He was prompt in replying. In this review, I wanted everyone to see how crazy and picky I am. =) Perhaps it'll convince you to give this man your business. Frank is an excellent photographer, loves his job, easy to work with and reasonably priced. Now that I'm married, I look forward to working with Frank on future family portraits. Thanks Frank!

weddings in 8 years. He was very professional and accommodating during our time working with him, and he was very open in sharing with us prior albums of his work. Frank was the only one of our vendors who came for the walk through of the venue in advance of the wedding, and he diligently scoped out areas he could use for different shots. Frank was also helpful and patient in incorporating our edits after we received the photos. We loved Frank because he was experienced, encouraging, positive, and accommodating throughout the process. We had no idea how to pose for professional photos, but Frank was very enthusiastic in giving us direction, making it a fun experience. Thanks Frank for all of your help capturing our special day!

saw a dozen portfolios at wedding expos and met with a handful of photographers, but after seeing Frank's work, there was no question who we'd go with. First and foremost, I would say that our photographs turned out very well. Frank has a good eye. We had a large wedding (200+ guests) which can be challenging and a lot of work. The lighting that Frank used, captured group shots really nicely (not dark in background, not washed out, etc.) I think we managed to get a family picture with about 75 guests which was pretty cool. Aside from quality of the photos, it was a pleasure to work with Frank from start to finish. He was always very responsive to phone or email. We met with him twice; once before booking him and again closer to the wedding. He was very accommodating with scheduling. Meeting with Frank for our second time, it felt more like hanging out with a friend than having a vendor meeting. Frank has a calm and relaxed demeanor (which is especially appreciated during the chaos of wedding day!) Not exactly liking being the center of attention, I felt very comfortable being photographed by Frank and his partner. Some of my family commented that he's the best wedding photographer they've ever seen! They appreciated that he showed pictures throughout the day. Frank is nice guy, who truly loves the work that he does and provides great product.

a huge plus for us]. On top of that, he produced AMAZING work. The lighting was carefully manufactured in all settings (Frank is a true expert) resulting in photos that were superb. Some of the comments from our friends: • "Wow this looks like a fairytale cover for a book!" • "Oh it looks like the cover of a romance novel, beautiful and romantic" • "Amazing photo. Such great use of light. Fairytale." On top of that, we received our photos in what seemed like record time. Thanks again Frank! -Elyse and Tony

quite a bit of commercial work), and it clearly shows through his work. Frank’s photos have a beautiful, genuine aesthetic, often with a unique point of view. Frank is also easy to work with, accommodating, humble, and one of the nicest people I’ve met. We first did an engagement photo shoot with Frank in the Berkeley Marina. He was flexible with the time and place. Frank showed up early with his assistant to scope out the area for good photo opportunities. My fiancé and I are quite awkward in front of the camera (not big picture people!), but Frank made it easy and fun for us the entire time, directing us as needed and giving us refreshing ideas on various sites and poses. We never felt hurried or rushed. When we received our engagement photos, we were thrilled at how beautiful and natural they turned out. I loved the pictures so much that I also referred my brother (who was also getting married the same year) to have Frank do his engagement photos. My brother and his fiancé were also super happy with their photos. The day before our wedding, I ran into Frank at our wedding venue, a small local winery and vineyard. He stopped by on his own time (I didn’t even ask!) to check out the property and make sure he got a good feel for the place. True dedication to his work! On wedding day, Frank and his assistant arrived at the vineyard in the late morning to take pre-ceremony shots. It was a full day, as we had a Chinese Tea Ceremony, Western Ceremony, and dinner reception. We had many attendees, given a large extended family and even our beloved little chihuahua dog! Frank easily navigated through the wedding chaos and delivered stunning pictures of the ceremony and reception. There were beautiful backdrops: giant oak trees, lush green vineyards, a pre-dusk glow. Frank captured each moment and person in its most natural form, sometimes delicate, sometimes serious, and sometimes humorous. To top it all off, Frank created a beautiful high quality leather bound photo album that he sent us a few months after our wedding. There were even 2 mini albums to supplement. Frank is one of a kind photographer. Frank truly loves his profession and exhibits a genuine gratitude for being able to work in a field he is passionate about. You will be amazed by his photos – please don’t hesitate to book him!

was happening. When we explained our vision to Frank, he completely understood and boy did he deliver! We were we so pleased with the results. Moreover, Frank was a delight to work with. So professional, accommodating and courteous. He put all of us at ease while capturing all of our special moments.

l we had the great fortune of meeting Frank Lee. We were taken back by his gallery posted on The Knot and we’re excited to know that our wedding date was available! Frank agreed to meet us and that just sealed the deal. Not only did Frank’s portfolio show his technical precision with the camera, but there was also a very whimsical touch to every image. Everything we saw was like something out of a glamour magazine, however it told a moving story and we knew that was exactly how we wanted our special day captured. Needless to say both the day or our engagement photos and our wedding day with Frank went off without a hitch and we could not have asked for more perfect results. Frank went out of his way to travel to us for the first meeting, engagement and wedding and just went above and beyond by getting prints blown up for the wedding and delivering several shots right after the wedding for our holiday cards. I can not stress how fortunate were to meet Frank. We made a lifelong friend and will definitely be hiring him for other important life event photography. Also, a big shout out to his second shooter Jeremy who delivered the same quality from another perspective. I highly, highly, highly recommend Frank J. Lee photography. Thank you again Frank!!

asm he expressed when showing us sample albums he took. I can immediately tell that this is a photographer who loves what he is doing, and that's important for taking the perfect photos. Our engagement photoshoot lasted for a whole warm afternoon, but Frank was energetic from the beginning to the end, the level of professionalism he showed was unparalleled. I'm normally not feeling comfortable in front of a camera, but Frank was able to make me enjoying the photo shooting! A full day shooting of wedding was always tiring on top of the excitement, but Frank and his partner Jeremy stayed with us from early morning till the very end. Not to mention the number of perfect photos we got, there are many more of them which I know will give us chills many years from now, for the every precious moment Frank captured for our big day. Me and my wife are still feeling unbelievable that we chose Frank as our photographer, for the amazing job he has done for our engagement and wedding. Moreover, we are even more happy that we met a new trustworthy friend.

ofessionalism and optimism make every other bumps on the wedding day much more tolerable. Among the few photographers we interviewed, Frank was the most friendly, flexible and honest about the cost. He customized a package for us to accommodate our schedule and budget. We met with him twice in person before the wedding (I believe he drove up to SF from the San Jose area both times). He gave us a lot of suggestions, ranging from locations for wedding photos, photoshoot timeline to makeup style. During the photoshoot, he showed good control of the situation but not pushy. He took care of the coordination among him, his assistant, and the videographer team, while my (now) husband and I just focused on having fun! Because our wedding day started early with lots of photoshoot, we originally told Frank that he can end his shift by 9pm according to the 8-hours package we booked with him, even though the reception is not yet over. However, he surprised us by volunteering to stay until the end, and chatting with some of our guests who're into photography.

o locations for our engagement photos and it was 100+ deg outside; we were out there for hours and frank took his time to make sure he got the right shot. Most importantly, he made the bride look incredibly. On the day of our wedding, it stormed like crazy but Frank is so good at what he does and so creative, he still produced top notch photos. He made it all look so easy and so good - a true professional. I would recommend him to anyone for any kind of photo shoot. - Groom I loved working with Frank! He is so positive, funny, and professional. We felt very comfortable throughout our engagement and wedding photo shoots, and he was able to capture some really great natural shots. He cares a lot about quality, and he sets the bar high for himself. He's not someone who will be watching the clock or hurrying you along to complete the shoot. He takes that extra step to get the job done, and get it done right. I highly recommend him! -Bride

rofessional that we have had the pleasure of working with- hands down. We have received countless compliments on our engagement and wedding photos and are absolutely thrilled to recommend his services. We especially appreciated Frank's attention to detail, consideration of our requests and genuine candor and interest in our lives. Thank you for everything, Frank, we can't say enough how much we loved working with you!!

as a vision with each shot, and makes it seamless to follow him. Thanks Frank for helping us make memories for our special day a memorable one! We definitely love the outcome!

he craft! We could tell right away he just wanted to do great work and contribute to our vision. He totally came through! The day of the wedding was much more stressful than I imagined. Luckily, Frank and his crew showed up (on time of course) and took care of everything they needed to take care of. I was not one bit worried about the photography aspect of the wedding. They also made me feel so comfortable and eased some of the stress with their support. In my opinion, Frank does not charge nearly enough for the quality of his services. He's in it because he loves his job, values the relationships, and cares about one's special day. He is truly caring, kind, and patient. We highly recommend Frank and know that you will not regret it. Thank you Frank and Jeremy. You made our day great and we have wonderful, lasting memories that we will always be thankful to you for. - B & G

his photos are amazing! We absolutely loved our engagement photos, and then we now love our wedding photos as well. They came out better than we could have imagined. He's so creative and had so many different ideas for different locations to take photos and made sure the lighting was just right. We now have so many photos that we love and want to blow up to put on the wall. We would love to use Frank and his team again in the future, and would definitely recommend him to others!

e would pick him again!!

ur photographs turned out beautiful. He truly captured the essence of our wedding as well as special moments among our family and friends. We highly recommend Frank and his outstanding team.

t in different lighting situations. Frank's breadth of work shows his skill with not only lighting, but capturing the type of shots everyone wants with minimal to no interruption to the flow of the event. His second shooter Jeremy was also excellent and they were both a pleasure to work with. (They also shot our engagement pictures).Many of our guests and FB community commented on our beautiful photos. Frank and his team made us look great - so worth it!

g day since he knew we would be crunched for time on the wedding day to find the best spots for the pictures! I recommend him to all my families and friends without any reservation! Thank you, Frank!!

efinitely look stunning and straight from a magazine. I would highly recommend Frank to anyone!

disappointing shoot. When I found Frank I knew right away he was professional. He was quick to respond, went above and beyond to make scheduling convient, knew exactly what we wanted for the big day and made everyone feel comfortable! To top it all off he delivered the edited photos 2 weeks earlier and they are more then amazing. I honestly am one of the most particular women I know, I drive my husband crazy but when you find someone who meets your standards~ you jump for joy! So grateful for these memories, I'll cherish them forever and I will always highly recommend this guy!!! 🙌

rk from other photographers, we finally decided to go with Frank because of his excellent work, his can- do attitude and customer service skill. Being a very picky person, I have high expectation on his work and have had lots of requests through out the pre-wedding section as well as the wedding day. I received lots of complements on our wedding photo as well as the wedding album. He transformed all my vision into a real life fairy-tail where the picture speak itself. By looking at the picture, everyone thought that we have our wedding at a fancy venue instead of a Chinese Restaurant. Frank had done such an amazing job on our wedding photo and has been very patient with us. I'm so glad that we chose Frank as our photographer over others photographers.

rom guests stating they have never had a photographer actually engage with them and say "look at the pictures it is amazing!" after he took pictures of my guests. He is professional, passionate about what he does, easy to work with, and produced some brilliant pictures. The lighting that he uses and how he makes the pictures absolutely flawless and bright is a real talent! Frank also did my engagement pictures in May 2015 and we went to Jack London Park in Sonoma. I could not have been more pleased with the way they turned out and his creative idea to go to the park in the first place. The equipment he uses and how he understand the lighting is gorgeous. They came out exceeding my expectations and I will use him for every event I can! He is extremely well priced and an album is included in the package I picked. I will choose 40 pictures and he will create a beautiful album for me and my new husband. I am very glad I found Frank and would suggest him a million times over :) THANK YOU FRANK

s very professional, took a lot of time researching the area for the perfect spot for pictures. Our album is filled with great moments!

ng your wedding day goes by so fast and as a bride you are so emotionally enthralled that you don't really pay attention to what is going on around you so having a professional photographer is a must. Frank J Lee and his team were such a pleasure to work with not only were they professional they are passionate about their work. I interviewed a couple of good qualified photographers and came across Frank J. Lee Photography online, I saw his work and I was IMPRESSED to say the least. My Wedding Planner and I scheduled a meeting right away and I knew instantly Frank J. Lee was the photographer I wanted to hire for my wedding photos. Frank has such a warm spirit and you immediately know he is passionate about his work. My wedding guest were so impressed with his personality. Frank was so courteous he truly understands how important weddings are and his work is an example of that. Let me tell you my Wedding photos are everything I imagined and much more not only are we pleased but we cannot stop looking at them. Our wedding photos look like they were shot for a high end magazine and sometimes its like looking at scenes from a movie. The phot 0s were so great my husband decided to take the photos and create a slideshow with music and we love to show them to our family and friends when they visit us. So many of our friends have complimented not only the quality but the creativity of the photos. The photos are so spectacular my husband and I are having a difficult time trying to figure out which ones we want to have for our Wedding book. I found Frank close to the wedding day but I had enough faith to purchase the package which included engagement and wedding photos with book due to his work I previewed online . We are taking are late engagement photos with him in the future and I can't wait especially after seeing my wedding photos. Frank J. Lee is someone you can entrust to capture every special moment on your Big Day.

h Frank because he is very sincere and patient. He listened to our requirements, which were a lot! He gave us lots of professional suggestions. We had a wonderful time in engagement shooting, that Frank took my husband's weir idea and made it happen! At our wedding, Frank and his two assistants spent almost the whole day with us, taking so amazing pictures from different angles. And then he did trash the dress with us! I personally thought this is the most worthwhile money we spent during the wedding. Frank is also flexible in schedule, for trash the dress session, we rescheduled for at least five times that I almost feel shameful and guilty. But Frank is totally cool with it. By the way, he himself is also a very charming artiest!

he right decision, he made us feel very comfortable on the day of our engagement shoot. We loved his overall enthusiasm and it helped keep us going the day of our engagement shoot since it was quite a long day! There were a few factors like the cold weather and extreme windiness, but Frank worked with all of these factors and was able to get us such great and memorable photos from that day. Frank and his team on the day of the wedding were also so wonderful. We had expressed the types of shots we had wanted to capture the day of our wedding and we were more than happy with the final product, we love our wedding photos! He uploaded them after only a few weeks and it was so much fun to look through them and remember all of the fun memories we had made from that day. We just received our wedding album from Frank and it was incredibly beautiful and each photo we chose to incorporate into the album really captured our special day well. Thank you so much Frank!

alent is undeniable, but it's actually his spirit and personality that brings his service to the next level. He is so genuine and passionate, and it was just a pleasure working with him. I can't say enough good things about Frank and his team. All I can do is refer him to friends/family and hope to see or work with him again in the future!

particular and difficult taste. His experience doing commercial shoots really shows through in the staged shots for engagement and with the wedding party, where he takes advantage of the environment and you looking your best to make artful pictures. The glamour photos from our engagement shoot that he printed and matted always get compliments from our guests. Put together your best outfits, pick a few interesting places around town with Frank, and he’ll make you a magazine cover several times over.

t and wedding that look like they belong in magazines. My wife and I met Frank three years ago at a wedding fair. We looked at the work of many photographers, but Frank's work really stood out to us. We were so impressed that he was the only vendor we knew we wanted when we decided to have our wedding three years later. Thank you for the the amazing work Frank!

very accommodating as I wanted to do photos outside near the hotel prior to the wedding and we got some really beautiful pictures. Throughout the entire day he and his assistants were very professional, made sure to listen to any photos that I wanted, and was always around for all the wedding events throughout the night. I was very pleased with the pictures he took, and he even sent me a few earlier than the delivery time so that I could use them for the thank you cards. I would highly recommend him to photograph your wedding!

oth of the Session. He was also able to work a price for us and with what we would want and what we need. My husband and I would be having Mr. Frank again for our Family Photo session after we have our baby in January! I strongly would recommend him to our family and friends if they ever need a photographer!

th candid and staged, is evident in the photos he took. The pre-wedding, ceremony, and reception pictures truly captured our beautiful day. After our ceremony, Frank photographed my husband and I in the wooded area outside the church and by doing so, he turned a seemingly average location into a work of art. Not only are the photos amazing, but Frank and his team are an absolute pleasure to work with. We are so happy we chose Frank as our photographer and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
