So-Min Kang Photography

My husband and I met Justine almost a year before when we were visiting the area, that first meeting we knew she was the one. She was friendly and warm, which made us feel very comfortable choosing her for our big day. The day of the wedding her and her associate were great, both were very friendly and really worked hard. They really captured our special day. they took so many great candid photos (my favorite). When we got our photos back, we could not be happier! Looking back months later at the photos we are very pleased that we choose her to capture the day! Definitely recommend her to any couple!

job capturing our big day. Justine was never in the way or intrusive but still managed to capture the entire event beautifully. She is a gifted photographer and an even better person. We will definitely hire her again for more events.

uce vintage-like photos that weren't over-posed. She met all our needs and then some. She has a very special quality about her photos that are journalistic, and she captures the essence of you as a couple. If you want photos that are fun, truly memorable, well composed, minimally touched up, beautifully vintage and tell your story - then she is perfect for you. She also offers very reasonably priced packages, which come with a lot of extras. Most photographers charge outrageous prices for very little, but she is fair and reasonable. She is responsive, was on time for all events, and extremely accommodating when things didn't go as planned. On the day of the wedding, she was professional and took care of everything. You barely knew she was there outside of formal photos. She got our photos to us very quickly and we couldn't have been happier with them – we didn't have one issue. She's so incredibly nice and relaxed and just has fun with you. I believe we have found our photographer for life and we highly recommend Justine. You won't be disappointed!

ecial moments and make a memory that will last forever. Both our engagement and wedding pictures turned out wonderful with so much detail and very high quality. She is very creative, talented and professional. She is a pleasure to work with. She puts a lot of time and thought into her work. If you are looking for a wedding photographer look no further!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

scouted out the venue. She handled herself impeccably throughout and was great at putting together the staged shots and even better at the candid ones. The resulting pictures were brilliant. We are so pleased with how she captured our special day and we have the important memories immortalised for the rest of our life.

dly. When we met with her prior to our engagement shoot, she listened to what we wanted and we knew right away that she was a perfect match for us. She was VERY punctual and timely--she even arrived at the engagement shoot location before we did to scope out the place. For the wedding day, her second photographer stayed with my groomsmen and me during the getting ready portion and she got every detail that I wanted to see in the pictures. In the reception, both Justine and her second shooter were very approachable and always ready/willing to take pictures when we requested--not only from us, but from our guests too. Another important detail about her service was her flexibility. We booked Justine about 11 months prior to our wedding and by the time we hit our wedding month, our times changed for the day. Justine was more than willing to add an extra hour, as she booked the day for us. Overall, great photographer and very professional. Jess: The photography for my wedding was literally number 2 on my list of important things right after the venue. I scoured websites for a photographer who didn't use the same cookie cutter wedding poses/engagement shoot locations. I was referred to Justine by a good friend who also used her as her wedding photographer. What I loved most about her pictures is how natural they were. For our engagement shoot, it felt like my husband and I just spent a couple of hours at the park, all while Justine was capturing beautiful scenes using the lighting to her advantage. She is a true artist in every form of the word using her environment as inspiration. For our wedding, her and another photographer (equally as amazing!) captured so many beautiful moments during the getting ready portion and ceremony. She took a shot of my grandfather at the reception (that my husband and I love) that could definitely be hanging in an art gallery somewhere. I loved that my reception pictures were natural, candid, and showed everyone having a great time...not just on the dance floor but special moments at the guest tables too. Halfway through the reception, she carefully borrowed our wedding rings and got some great shots of them hanging on our wedding cake topper, which was one of my favorite pieces! I was so happy that we had pictures with every single guest and she left no detail out. Family (biggest critics sometimes!), friends, and coworkers, all had nothing but great things to say about the pictures and we are so happy with our memories. Thank you so much, Justine! We hope to utilize your services for future special events ;D

rst, Justine is so kind and warm. Her amazing personality put us at ease, which made being photographed so much easier. From our first meeting, we knew we wanted Justine to do our pictures. We're relatively awkward in front of a camera...supermodels we are not. We specifically looked for a photographer that would focus more on candid moments than posed photographs. Justine delivered beyond any expectation we could have imagined! We did both our engagement session and our wedding photos with her. Justine came up with two really great locations for our engagement pictures. We threw her two ideas...a music store and some "outdoor green space." She found the most perfect vinyl record store in Fort Lauderdale, and a nearby park. We felt super awkward at first, however Justine's calm demeanor put us at ease very easily. She encouraged us to be ourselves and took care of the rest. The result was stunning engagement pictures that needed minimal editing, and were natural and true to us a couple. Little did we know, our wedding pictures would be even better! We received our gallery today, and cried and laughed as we looked through the 1100 images she edited. 1100! We couldn't believe how many fantastic shots Justine got. She captured moments that most photographers would have missed, and some that we even missed in the hustle and bustle of the wedding day. We laughed and cried as we literally got to relive our wedding day through her incredible photos. While we did do some traditional photos (couple portraits, family, wedding party, etc.), the majority of the photos are candids throughout the ceremony and rest of the day, and they are AMAZING! We only wish we could express in a review how fantastic Justine really is. She is professional, respectful, wonderfully creative, and discreet. She is super helpful (she even helped me create a day of timeline, based around the time for photos). We got so much more than we hoped for in hiring Justine, She captured the emotion, importance, and love of the day like no one else could have. We've already recommended her to friends for their wedding. She delivered on so many levels. Consider yourself lucky if you are able to hire Justine!

o work with. On the day of our shoot, there was a big storm and Miami was flooded. Because I was only in Miami for the weekend, I couldn't re-schedule. Justine and I just went with the flow until the rain let up and made the best of the situation. The pictures turned out fantastic and I'm very happy with the results overall given the situation! Would highly recommend!

r meeting with her we felt sure we were going to have the most beautiful pictures. The engagement session was the first success. She was patient and helped my husband feel comfortable with the poses. She listened to any concerns we had and made sure she got the poses I had requested. From the engagement session to the wedding day, she was prompt to reply to all my emails. On the big day she was early and ready to go! Once again her calm and professional demeanor helped me relax. Now that I have the wedding pictures I can honestly say I am 100% happy with them.

we planned to have our ceremony at a specific time, as the sun was about to set. One of the shots we have is of all of our guests lined up on the pier and Justine captured every single one of them. As per our couples photos, we did not "pose" she captured every moments raw, from emotional first look to our fun send off. Overall very happy with the results of all images and Justine's professionalism on our big day.

y not disappointed. Justine is the sweetest person, and she was so lovely to work with. She was always very responsive to my emails- which I appreciated. Additionally, for our engagement photos I had sent her a bunch of photos that I liked, and she tried to reproduce each one. She gave us our wedding photos with a very quick turnaround time, and we were very happy with the results. We would recommend Justine to any bride out there that is looking for quality photos for good value. Thank you Justine! Love Bonnie & Erik.

ting with Justine for the first time, to touching base multiple times before the wedding, and to the day of the wedding, Justine exceeded our expectations. On the day of our wedding, Justine was prompt and on time, and was so easy and laid back during the whole process. Our guests raved about how attentive and awesome Justine was. And did I mention the photographs came out absolutely AMAZING. Justine got us our online album within 2 weeks, earlier than promised, and had our digital copies on a usb mailed to just after. We couldn't be more happy with Justine for capturing every magical moment of our special day!

f the information I requested, without pressuring me into making a decision right away. Other photographers made me feel like I needed to make my decision on the spot and send a deposit because "they booked up quickly." Justine was so sweet! I was living in Ohio at the time and I was a bit nervous to book our photographer over the phone without meeting in person. However, Justine made me feel so comfortable and was flexible with scheduling our engagement session for a date that we knew we would be visiting Florida. We met Justine for the first time when we shot our engagement session and I instantly knew we made the right decision! She was very laid back and gave my fiance and I the freedom to just be ourselves in front of the camera. She also gave great tips for how to stand, posture, etc. which was so helpful. The turn around time is amazing! We had our engagement photos ready for viewing before we returned to Ohio. The quality of her work is outstanding! My fiance and I were thrilled with every single photo. For our wedding, Justine brought a second person to help shoot the wedding. I highly recommend going with a second shooter if the bride and groom are getting ready in different locations. Amanda was the second photographer and she was wonderful, too! I forgot to mention...Justine is based out of Miami and she happily traveled to Boca Raton and Boynton Beach for my wedding at no extra charge! Justine arrived early to my mom's condo where the girls were getting ready and had already mapped out the area near my mom's building where we were going to take the group photos. She has a wonderful eye for lighting and backdrops. The entire time we were taking photos, both before and after the wedding, I felt relaxed and not rushed or annoyed. I've been in weddings where the photographers seemed so intrusive, but Justine was very easy going! Justine and Amanda captured our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception so beautifully. My husband and I received a flash drive of all of the photos, which were edited absolutely perfectly, about 2.5-3 weeks after the wedding. I couldn't believe she was able to sort through and edit all of the photos that quickly, but it just goes to show how talented she is and how much she loves her job. Going through the photos was the best thing. It felt like we were reliving the night all over again! As the bride and groom, you are always being pulled here and there and so you miss little things throughout the reception. Viewing the photos allowed us to feel like we experienced the wedding a second time, as guests! My husband and I are so happy with our wedding photos. I highly recommend Justine Kang for her work and her positive and sweet demeanor. Not to mention...the value is the best in South Florida! Her prices were more than reasonable and she was very accommodating with all of my requests.

r!

h she was very professional, kind, warm, and extremely helpful. I contacted her maybe two months or less before our wedding and thank God she was available! She asked about the details of our wedding and what we were looking for and made a package that fit in our budget. Justine also did our engagement photos and helped us with some suggestions for locations, which we took. We had our shoot in the Wynwood district and they came out exactly how we wanted them. We received so many compliments. My husband and I are not big photo taking people, so we didn't know what to expect, but Justine is just so patient, warm and friendly and she made us feel really comfortable during the shoot and helped us out with how to stand, pose, etc. She is also extremely efficient; we received our edited photos within two weeks of our engagement and wedding shoots. Most friends I know had to wait several months to see their photos from other photographers, so we were blown away by how quickly and great they were! Justine is super punctual as well. For both sessions, she showed up early and stayed to get those last round of photos at our reception. She shot a ton of photos! Looking through them, it's hard to believe that she didn't have an assistant with her because she captured everything from our wedding day. We can relive the whole experience and just have so much joy looking through our photos. We actually played music from our wedding when we were looking through the album and got a little misty eyed remembering the day. She did indoor and outdoor shots, the family photos, and a lot of candid shots which we both loved. I can't say enough how happy we were choosing Justine! She is fantastic and we will treasure our photos forever. Move her to the top of your list for photographers. In fact, don't even bother making a list. She is wonderful and I cannot recommend her any more highly. Thank you Justine!!!

le, she answered all of our questions. We met her a couple of months before the wedding to explain her the type of coverage we were looking for. Both me and my husband come from divorced families so we did not want the "photo moment" to be an issue. Justine was great with all that. She made sure we got all the family pictures the way we wanted them. She was all we expected and beyond. In a couple of weeks or gallery was ready and a month later we got our albums. And she gave us a reasonable price for all that. I would strongly recommend her. We received many compliments from our family and friends.

gain - highly recommend!

d be the one to capture our day! Justine is the utmost professional and a remarkable artist behind the lens. Her no pressure, in the background approach is simply amazing! A seamless experience... Justine captured the essence of our wedding with such vivid rich photos with such emotion and character that my wife is still tearing up every time we look at them! We expected a professional of course, but Justine Kang far exceeded our highest expectations. We will be hiring her again for certain! Thank you Justin!

wer a call/email and meet me when I was in town. She arrived exactly on time and did an amazing job despite heavy winds on the beach. The other reviews are right on- you will get your photos in a matter of a few weeks...and they will be gorgeous! We will definitely be hiring Justine in the future for family pictures. Look no further!

g the huge decision of choosing a photographer a simple task. We are so very impressed with your work from our engagement and bridal shots, to your ability to capture some of the most precious moments of our wedding. We also appreciate the way you handled yourself during our wedding and reception, doing everything in your power to lead and direct our bridal party without adding any undue stress. Most of all, we appreciate you making yourself available to help us fulfill our dreams in being able to exquisitely capture the most important day of our lives. Also, i want to extend my appreciation for being so patient and helpful with putting our wedding album together, which again demonstrates your personality and the abilities to go above and beyond. You are an amazing photographer and all the service you have provided has been worth every penny.

e is very easygoing and knows how to work well with a couple in keeping us relaxed while having fun. The photos were beautiful and honestly didn't need editing as she is very talented in spotting where the best lighting is. Now that was just for our engagement pictures! :) We booked her for our wedding day as well and she was incredible working with many more people(wedding party and families). She captured every detail, took hundreds of pictures and was very prompt in sending us the gallery to view online as well as sending us all of the high resolution photos quickly. They came out even more beautiful than the engagement pictures and it is difficult to choose which ones to hang on our walls. From a man's perspective, she gave great direction without being bossy or condescending and kept us at ease throughout both the engagement session and the wedding day. She made sure to capture memories from every angle without you even noticing she was there. We would highly recommend her and are so happy with her services!

s some real talent. She always makes you feel like the camera isn't there. She is very flexible and doesn't make you feel rushed. Her work is great with exceptional quality without being overpriced. My husband and I couldn't have had a better photographer to share these special moments with.

done. As far as our wedding day Justine was always there to capture those amazing moments. When everything was said and done we received our pictures in a timely manner never having to contact her to remind her. I Definitely would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy photographer.

lear that she would work with what we wanted, not what she wanted. That is so difficult to find in a photographer; so many of them have a vision in their head that they want to carry out no matter what the bride wants. Justine was extremely professional and responsible the entire time, patiently listening to my bridal concerns about the timeline of the day of the wedding. She was very flexible in offering to stay longer than we had originally signed up for, and the guests raved about her. She blended in perfectly with the crowd and made people feel comfortable in front of the camera. She had the prints available for us within two weeks. It was wonderful working with her and I am grateful that she was part of our special day. I would definitely recommend her to future brides!

imate moments as well as fun, candid shots. We absolutely loved all of the photos and we will forever be amazed at how beautiful our wedding day looked. Justine is very friendly, professional, and extremely talented. Thank you Justine for a lifetime of memories, the quick turn around time on the photos, and the bamboo flash drive was a very nice finishing touch! We highly recommend Justine to capture your special day! Minh & Charles Chu

elmed by the priced packages I kept running in to, but I leaped for joy when I found Justine. She was professional quality, immensely creative, and provided an hourly rate, which is genius in this business. I was even more impressed when I met her. She has a quiet, professional confidence and is very kind and gentle as she instructs. She caught the BEST moments and we are overwhelmed with the beautiful options. It was like living my wedding for the first time as I looked through my gallery! Photography is the most important thing once the wedding is over because it is your first time taking everything in. The day is so busy and overwhelming, I would remember nothing without the photography. I made the best choice in a photographer and we are truly blessed to have worked with Justine.

. My friend recommended Justine to us and we checked out her website to get a first impression. We liked her pictures and contacted her to have a get together. We were looking for a photographer who we can "trust" and "like" being around :-) .... and we found her! She was lovely and we, our families and especially our guests were well taken care of. The pictures are natural, taken in perfect backgrounds (she suggested different backgrounds and poses) and caught at the "right" time!!! We have so many great laughing pictures with my friends & family and I am so happy that I can remember them all. I was so excited and busy on my wedding day that I could not experience my beautiful friends and wedding location. But looking at my pictures makes we smile and happy!!! They are perfect and we will always remember our special wedding! Thank you so much for all your hard work and great pictures Justine!!! We had a blast with you!!! All the best, Your Mr & Mrs Hwang

essional and personal service! Thank you So-Min! You've been great and the pictures are amazing! Sascha

strate my vision, both our personalities and our love story... She brought my illustrations and vision to life, with attention to detail, while still including some uniqueness to each photo. She was very creative in capturing beautiful/sensual moments that complimented our theme.She knows how to get your good side lol. The prints were nicely/professionally edited, converted and printed. We were very satisfied with the end results and are trying to schedule her for other events; wedding, maternity, kids etc. Thanks again Justine...

al shower! When we were looking for a photographer, we wanted not only someone that took great pictures but someone that we got along with. Justine has an awesome personality - we were laughing the entire time (she felt like a friend from the moment we met her!). She has a way of making you feel so comfortable around the camera that you almost forget it's there! We were absolutely blown away each time we received our proofs! Justine has an eye for detail and is able to capture the subtle moments. The way that she uses the natural sunlight to set the mood of the picture is priceless. I know that my husband and I have found our photographer for life!!

me we would have the digital prints in two weeks and exactly two weeks from the day she said it we had them. And more importantly, they're beautiful! I've been getting compliments from everybody I show them to. She didn't miss a moment. I highly recommend her to all brides!

e else we looked at, which is exactly what we wanted. Since it was a destination wedding we didn't meet Justine until the day of, and she was everything we expected. Very professional, yet outgoing which made everything so much easier. We have a tough crowd to work with, but she was calm and accommodating throughout the entire day. We couldn't be happier with our photos and the album. I highly recommend Justine for any function, and I'd like to thank her for the wonderful job she did at our wedding.

for my wedding. I found Justine through The Knot and after reading the reviews, I flew down to FL to shop for a wedding venue and met with Justine. She is absolutely the sweetest and friendliest person. I am 110% satisfied with the quality and professionalism of Justine's work. She kept in contact with me for months before leading up to the wedding and after the wedding to update me. Responded quickly to all emails/calls. As any nervous bride, I wanted my photos to come out beautifully, and Justine did just that. The price for the amount of great work she does is more than fair. It came out better than some of my friends who paid tens of thousands of dollars for a tacky album and prints. Now that my wedding is over, I have all these beautiful photos to enjoy. You will not be disappointed. If you have any questions regarding anything, she will be honest with you and give you the best options possible. She is the best! from liz & dan

went off with out a hitch. We got some beautiful photos both before and during the ceremony. Justine did a great job of managing the photo time so we didn't miss out on our wedding day. We had sparklers at our wedding and those photos were exceptional.

quality and perfection. I always loved the artistic touch korean photographers have. My husband is korean and his sister's wedding pictures had the same artistic touch as Justine's pictures. Well, we decided to have Justine do our engagement session and I love how the pictures came out. Justine is very professional and creative. She really cares about her clients and is just not money hungry like other vendors out there. She is also patient and delivers as promised. Her prices are totally worth it. You will love her! Thanks Justine!

r, she is also soooo sweet!!!! We strongly recommend Justine to capture your special day!

easure to work with from the first time we contacted her about our wedding. She was so helpful in customizing a package that would fit our needs. During our engagement shoot she was flexible and patient, making us feel comfortable around the camera. On our wedding day, she was helpful, patient, and friendly with us and our families which helped us all feel relaxed. Thank you Justine Kang Photography for making our special day even more memorable! Overall, I have enjoyed working with Justine Kang Photography. She is creative, professional, and talented.

down to finalize wedding details) and was immediately captivated with her. Justine defines herself not only as a photographer but also as a photojournalist. She will take the staged shots for you at your wedding but will also look for those hidden moments that make amazing pictures. We just got our pictures recently and I can say without the utmost hesitation that they are BEAUTIFUL. Justine did an amazing job, as she would put it “documenting” our wedding. I actually cried at some of the pictures, as did other members of my family. There is no doubt in my mind that we made the right choice in having Justine as our photographer. She was extremely professional, very caring and has a very creative eye. My husband and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a photographer.

ery nice first impression! At my wedding she was like a ninja!! She was all over the place getting pictures. She was up in chairs. Every where i looked she was there. I was VERY happy with the pictures. They came out perfect. She shot pictures of things i did not get to see. I would recommend her to any bride!! Thanks Justine for making my wedding day memories perfect!!

balancing what we wanted, what our family wanted, with what she thought would look good for the pictures. She worked hard during the wedding to get all the important shots and capture everyone...most amazingly, Justine does this without you hardly noticing. We got the pictures back pretty quickly and loved them...so did our friends and family. She got our style down just right. That was the best part of looking at the pictures. I recommended Justine to a co-worker who was planning her wedding around the same time as me. All around, the 4 stars are very much deserved.

ide us in order to obtain beautiful yet let us be ourselves in order to capture who we are as a couple. She was very fast, which is excellent because what bride doesnt want to see pictures asap. And the quality and amount was amazing. I look at my pictures every day. I would definately reccommend her to anyone. Thank you so much!

resting way. Her eye for backgrounds is amazing! My husband and I went to St. Augustine for our engagement photos and Justine found places to take pictures we had never thought of. She is just an incredible photographer and artist and I can say, you WILL NOT be disappointed. Justine is so calming, kind, and sweet. Her nature makes you feel welcome, confident and comfortable. Our wedding pictures captured our day PERFECTLY! Everyone who has seen them so far has cried, laughed and relived the day. We just love her work so much!!!! Thank you Justine!

and her rates were good. The pictures themselves were just lovely. She did a good job capturing the event. Overall, I would recommend her to anyone!
