Mike Yoon Photo

Mike helped in taking our wedding photos for our micro ceremony. He was incredibly communicative and very responsive throughout the process of securing him as a photographer as well as in the lead-up to the wedding itself; he took truly beautiful shots that wonderfully captured the genuine happiness of that day! We're so appreciate of Mike's hard work in getting photos to us efficiently, just in the way that we wanted them. I could not recommend him enough for anyone looking to help capture an important life event - Mike is fantastic!

Absolutely a pleasure working with Mike. He shot our elopement a while back up in Big Bear and couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out. His meticulous process to get the best shot in a given area was amazing to witness. Will definitely be hiring Mike again soon for another shoot!

We are so happy with how our photos came out!!!! Choosing a photographer was very stressful because we wanted to make sure it would be a good fit. These are memories you will cherish forever! We are so happy and thankful for booking Mike! He's easy to talk to and makes taking photos fun and not awkward! As a couple we had never taken photos together, so there was a learning curve. Mike made us feel comfortable during our engagement shoot so that by the end of that shoot we were camera ready for the wedding! His edits are great and really capture the moment! I would definitely recommend Mike Yoon for your wedding and engagement photos! Also not to mention, Mike made our engagement shoot dreams happen and drove 5 hours one way!!! If that isn't flexible and dedication!

Mike is approachable and professional. I absolutely love our wedding photos. The photos he took not only capture beautiful moments on the day. and also telling the story of the day. If you would like someone who cares about what you like and willing to work with you on your special day Mike is the top choice.

We hired Mike for our engagement photos and could not be happier with how they turned out! We searched through many other platforms but many with the style that we wanted was way out of our budget range as Mike really did offer a lot for how reasonably he was priced for the session. He amazingly finished our photos in 2 days as stated in his turnaround from booking and we were absolutely blown away by how well he captured us even though we did not know how to pose. Will definitely be hiring Mike again for any future shoots, large or small!

Mike was so easy to work with & the quality/styling of the photos was everything we wanted & more. We booked him before the pandemic craziness & Mike was so great in coming along the crazy journey of planning a wedding during a pandemic haha. A lot of our original plans changed fell through & he was super flexible & assisted us in any way he could to help salvage/make our day special. For our engagement photos, we were crazy & decided to do it in Joshua Tree in the heat of summer haha. Thankfully, Mike knew all the right spots to hit, which made the photoshoot quick & efficient. The pics came out AMAZING, worth the sweat. We had planned our wedding for October 2020 & decided no matter what, October 3rd we would get married whether it be big or small. We ended up having a small intimate wedding with just our immediate family on that day, but we also had a somewhat normal wedding on October 17th. Mike was present for both! Leading up to our October 17th wedding, a day & a half before, our venue was closed! By some miracle, we were able to secure a bigger & beautiful outdoor wedding venue within hours of the devasting news of the last venue. Anyways, there were a lot of last minute changes & people/vendors we had to contact. Mike's timeline helped A LOT, it was like the one thing that was consistent & unchanged. We used his timeline to dictate & plan this "new" day, it was amazing. Among the other super heroes who helped save our wedding, Mike was definitely one of them. Overall, his photos are beautiful, he knows all the right angles to shoot (no double chins to be seen), he has a great eye for composition & the knows the right moments to capture. If it's your first time planning a wedding, Mike has a lot of experience with the wedding industry & day of events. We look forward to doing another photoshoot with him for future events :)

Prompt, artistic, and so friendly. He is a true photographer!

Mike has a creative vision and takes the loveliest photos. He was easy to work with, very responsive to our communications, and captured all the little moments of our wedding so beautifully.

I first met Mike at my best friend's wedding when I was one of her bridesmaids. My memory of him was very kind and friendly so I knew for sure I've always wanted to work with him for my own wedding. Working with Mike was incredibly fun! He was very fast at responding to my questions, very chill, very caring, and super friendly which made us feel so comfortable during the photo shoots. He was so kind to carry our outfits during the engagement photo shoot, which we walked couple miles! Mike is quick with his decisions and has great sense for making a picture look great. I love how both of our engagement and wedding day photos came out. He is brilliant and amazing! I highly recommend Mike Yoon as your photographer and you will not regret your decision! Thank you for incredible photos Mike!

Mike and his associate, Dave, were an amazing dynamic team of photographers! I knew Mike for a whole decade ago and he has been a trusted friend and colleague ever since. I always knew that he was a talented photographer for a long time, but finally got a chance to hire him as my personal wedding/engagement photographer for my October wedding a few months ago. Mike is a very talented professional with his strong work ethic, passion, and an amazing eye for capturing images. He went above and beyond in planning and working with me in finding just the right location for our engagement photos, the spots for images and lighting, and capturing the overall atmosphere and feeling that I had wanted. He was also ever so patient with me and husband in making us feel comfortable in front of the camera and giving us ideas/directions when needed. Not only is Mike personable, his passion for photography speaks for itself through his photos, what one can only describe as masterworks of art. He somehow manages combine beautiful scenery and lighting together with the images of his clients to capture the right kind of feeling in every moment. At our wedding, both Mike and Dave collaborated and worked well together with our own hired videography team, especially under a tight schedule and an unforgiving sun. His associate, Dave, was also really easygoing, and he was very flexible with us getting into all these fancy and crazy poses, which made being in front of the camera a lot of fun. He took a lot of our photos during the ceremony and reception, and I'm still surprised until this day how many amazing photos were captured of my friends and family members while playing my silly wedding games. To top it all off, Mike was able to edit and deliver all of my photos from each set within just a few days and his response time is impeccable whenever I had any questions. All the photos came out perfectly, and I could not wait to share them all of my friends and family. Each photo was unique and beautiful in their own way, and absolutely Instagrammable! Hiring Mike as my photographer was the best decision that I have ever made, I love all of my photos and am sure to enjoy them for years to come!

They were very communicative at all times. They listened to what I wanted and my concerns. They also gave great advice and tips. I mean, wow!!!! This was the one section of my wedding I did not stress out about. They already knew when I told them what I wanted in general and they went into detail with all other sections. And without sounding stressed. I highly recommend them. Out all the vendors I chose, they are my top 2

Mike and David did a fantastic job capturing the memories of our wedding. Not only were they able to capture all the ceremony and reception, they were able to capture the social interactions as well. During the wedding, you can easily miss some allotted slot for certain events due to so many things going. They manage to capture everything which is a feat on its own. David was also caring and let me know not to worry so much about the timeline and to just enjoy myself. They were quick with editing as well. It took them 5 days to sort and edit all the photos which is amazing considering how many there were. The composition and lighting were phenomenal. I highly recommend him for any photoshoot or if you would like to capture any moments of your life.

Mike was amazing! We found him through a recommendation from a friend and loved his photos on instagram immediately. My now husband is very picky when it comes to photography because he himself dabbles in the hobby, so it was very difficult for me to find someone who he would approve of and fit within my budget. We even had to add hours about a few weeks before the actual wedding which Mike accommodated without any fuss. His additional hours are an easy price per hour added too, so you can totally calculate your budget and schedule accordingly. Our Engagement Shoot was quick and easy. He was very friendly and we didn't feel awkward at all! And might I add that we received our photos literally 4 days after the shoot! All in a convenient online gallery that we were able to download on the spot. Almost no one we told believed how quickly we got the shots! And to top it off, they were all beautiful! The wedding day we had a few locations that we had to go to, and Mike traveled to each one on his own and was promptly on time and early to each and every location. I was able to provide him a scheduled list of our major shots and he took them all without fail. I didn't have to worry at all on my wedding day thinking about whether or not the photos would come out nice because Mike was on the job! I highly recommend him, and am definitely looking forward to my next photoshoot opportunity to hire him again!

I hired Mike for my October wedding. Mike took some amazing pics at my wedding, so glad I hired him.Mike was great, very easy going and was quick to respond back. Loved my wedding and my wedding pics thanks to Mike :)

Mike was one of our favorite vendors to work with. Not only does his kind soul exude through the day of and our interactions with him, but it is also displayed in his work. His passion for photography and his heart to make sure his clients get the best photos and memories of their wedding is above and beyond. It was a pleasure being able to work with Mike from the engagement shoot until the last moment of our wedding. He is quick to respond and will make sure your day is exactly the way you envision. His work is crisp and has a beautiful vintage style, which is exactly what my husband and I were craving. Very grateful to have found such a talented and patient photographer to work with for my big day. Thank you so much Mike!

Where do I begin? Awesome, awesome, awesome! Our wedding took place in a very sunny, hot, and outdoor Ranch in the middle of the mountains. Mike managed to arrive early and ready to go! He didn’t seemed phased by the heat or location. We honestly didn’t even notice him doing his thing, but in the end he captured all the day’s special moments with attention to detail. He was also very patient with my rowdy family. On top of it all, he got our teaser photos out to us in just 2 days! Also, his photos came out beautiful. We cannot wait to print them and frame to them. I love that when I see the photos, I can relive those moments. His photos are priceless. Mike has a great eye!Hope we have another occasion to have to use him!

Mike was so easy to work with and very accommodating for our rowdy group. The pictures came out amazing! I love the way he edits his photos and had an eye for lighting. Also so prompt in responses, concerns and editing final photos. I trusted all his decisions and had no doubts when choosing Mike to capture our wedding. Will definitely plan of using him for future shoots

Mike was so friendly and a pleasure to work with. He gave his ideas when needed and I trusted his decisions. His photos has a rich tone that caught my eye when searching for a photographer. The quality of his photos exceeded my expectations and I am very happy how they turned out! I am recommending him to all my family and friends.

Mike is professional and creative. He offers quality services at a reasonable price. His package included an engagement shoot, which he assisted us in coordinating. We were so lost on where to shoot and he knew exactly what to recommend. He snapped shots that reflected who we were as a couple and made us feel comfortable during the process. On our wedding day, he was literally everywhere attempting to capture every moment he possibly could. He captured some intimate moments shared with family and friends that we loved. A plus was that most pictures were edited and available to us within a week.

Mike did such a wonderful job for our wedding. First, he took the time to ask us through email what kind of style we would like/poses we would like for our engagement shoot. He was able to edit all the photos in a efficient manner and get all the photos back to us. He was so efficient at shooting and during the whole time and didn't waste a minute! Also, he was able to get the golden hour photos at the beach which I highly recommend. When I printed all the engagement photos out for my wedding, they came out great because the photos were such good quality :) For our wedding, he came earlier than he was scheduled to set up and was so prepared so that we would be on time for our timeline. He was able to get photos of every type we wanted and was able to follow the timeline of our wedding so thoroughly and efficiently. We were lucky because the day of our wedding was a bit overcast which was the perfect weather for photo opportunities! He was extremely efficient and excellent in gathering folks together for our group photos and he even included a fun shot which I enjoyed. He was also very patient with waiting for people to gather together during the group photos in addition to finding the perfect photo spots for the wedding. Overall, I would 10/10 recommend Mike for any photoshoot you would need. In addition, he is a great price for the awesome quality of work that he provides. He also has a very solid personality - easy to work with, talk to, and knows how to do his job well. If you have any photo needs, especially for weddings, do not hesitate to book him!!! You will not regret it!!! :)

Mike is an amazing photographer, extremely professional, friendly, easy going and takes amazing pictures for those especially moments , highly recommended.

Mike was so easy to work with and he has such a good eye for locations to photograph. We were more than satisfied with the outcome of the photos. It was really great to having mike capture our precious moments. I would definitely recommend him to anyone, for any type of photography. His turn around time was much quicker than expected too!

Mike did an AMAZING job! After spending weeks researching engagement photography options, Mike's pricing was what initially caught my eye and was the best value. But after receiving the edited photos, the quality was beyond our expectations! We asked to take our photos at Joshua Tree and requested to have my brothers' restored 1968 ford mustang as part of the shoot. He met us all the way out there and was able to incorporate the car into our engagement photos. He knew all the great location spots to ensure our photos would turn out great! He is very easy to work with and although we were awkward at first, he put us at ease with his personality and direction. Communication was a breeze...Mike was always available via email and text to answer any and all questions. We just shared the photos with our families on Christmas eve and they were BLOWN away at how amazing the photos looked! We have already booked Mike for a future event, our tea ceremony, because we know he will be able to capture all the best moments with our families.

We are so glad we decided to go with Mike as our Wedding Photographer! We had an out of town wedding (at golden gate park in SF), and he volunteered to come out early to scope out the location, so we could get the best shots. We had a family gathering 2 weeks after the wedding, and Mike was able to provide a dozen teaser pictures that we could share with our extended family! We received the rest shortly after. And best of all, the pictures came out great! Thank you Mike for capturing our special day - we couldn't be happier with our pictures!

Mike is definitely the person you want to hire as your photographer. He really went above and beyond and provided excellent service for our special day. I'm looking forward to working with him again. He's not only my go to photographer but a great friend as well. Book with him, I guarantee you will not regret it. Thanks for making my vision of looking like a fairytale princess come alive.

Mike is super talented and has a very unique style of photography! He did our engagement shoot and our wedding photos, and it all came out very nicely. He works best if you have a specific idea of what you're looking for and give him plenty of direction.

I was looking for someone who can deliver a romantic, classy elegance to my photos and my friend recommended Mike to me. He created a rustic and modern appeal to the photos, so I had no hesitation in hiring Mike for the engagement and wedding photo package. The engagement shoot was the time when you first get a glimpse of your photographer’s style. And what I really admire about Mike is that he will not go to the same spot twice for a photoshoot. As in, even if the location is the same place as another couple, he will find a unique spot within that location to make it your own. My fiancé and I did not feel nervous at all during the shoot, taking Mike’s directions on different poses and making us feel entirely comfortable and natural. It really just felt like we were going on a date and there was a discreet third wheel to accompany us lol. Even though it was the windiest day we ever endured during our engagement shoot, Mike spent the entire day with us from 4:30 to 10:30 pm visiting multiple locations in Palos Verdes and then night time shots in Downtown LA. We have to hand it to Mike who was so patient throughout the whole windy photoshoot, we knew we had the right man for the job. Our wedding flowed seamlessly with Mike scheduling our timeline of pictures with the bridal party, family and friends, and first look. He even was so thoughtful and brought me a personal fan, in case it was so hot my makeup would melt. I really am so thankful to have had Mike as our photographer, as he made us feel at ease and calm on the biggest day of our lives. But most importantly, I really love how all my photos turned out so beautifully, how he captured our best faces forward in all the right moments.

One of the most down to earth photographers I've ever met. He is very experienced and knowledgeable in perfecting his craft. I love what he did for our proposal surprise photos..my fiancee never once suspected him shooting any of the candids from afar. Even tho I didn't get a chance to give much direction to him before the proposal..Mike was fully comfortable taking the lead and initiative to create some awesome and memorable moments for us to cherish for years to come. Truly talented photographer..I've booked him for my engagement and wedding for the near future as well. Try him out..he's super friendly.

Mike is such a great guy to work with!!! He makes people feel comfortable and natural in photos, which give you the best shots. And even if you're not actively posing, he takes the best candids!! I've had the pleasure of having Mike work two separate photo shoots: my Engagement and Anime Expo cosplay event! He can cater between super romantic and funny/casual, but yet make both so professional. I loved his photos so much that I'm using one of them as my profile picture here (as of July 31) and I've even commissioned my favorite artist to draw his version of this picture!!! Great attitude, super nice, great quality of photos, and great price. What more can you ask for? He's my go-to photographer.

Mike is truly a talented and remarkable photographer who beautifully captures every memorable moment. He also makes you feel very comfortable during the photo shoots which makes it enjoyable for people like me who hates to have their pictures taken. He is very friendly and makes you feel like you've known him all your life after ten minutes of meeting him for the first time. He has knowledge, experience and talent in selecting backgrounds and having people in certain poses for pictures. He takes his job very seriously and does it with full of passion. Mike does his job well because he has a desire to satisfy all of his customers. He knows he has a high responsibility to capture moments that can never be repeated again in life. It's difficult to find a photographer you can trust in to do that. Mike is definitely in that category and he is actually worth more than what he charges. I would recommend him to everyone.

Loveeeeeeeee my pictures!!!!!!! Mike and his team did such an amazing job!!!!! They were super friendly, very very very accommodating, and flexible w my demands. I'm super camera shy but they made me feel so comfortable being infront of the camera! Thank you!!! Will be calling you for all future events!!!
