John and Max were so easy to work with! As a busy working bride, I didn't always have the time to keep detailed records of all of the conversations that I had with the many vendors. No need with the Mills...they had everything organized for me. Max was so responsive to any emails or questions that I had.
On the day of the wedding they were early, helpful and so kind to our wedding party. They were so unobtrusive during the ceremony, they left us all wondering if they had even taken any shots in the church! Not to fear - once we received the proofs it was evident that their wonderful work had captured all of the most important moments of our day.
Too often, vendors stop responding to you once they have your money in hand. Not the Mills! As we are reviewing our proofs for our album, they have been helpful and timely. Their business is supported by word of mouth endorsements, so they take customer satisfaction seriously. Their hassle-free approach to their work makes working with them a pleasure.

John and Max did the photography for our wedding at Verandas in Manhattan Beach this past Sept. They were a pleasure to work with and made our wedding day even more special.
They have a very personal approach to their work that is truly genuine and sincere. They listened to our needs and were extremely nice and easy to work with. Our pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous!
We had a lot of fun taking the wedding and engagement photos.
We did our engagement session at LACMA, and had the best time taking pictures by the light post sculptures. The pictures turned our very contemporary and fun. Just our style!
We are very happy with the beautiful wedding pictures, are so exited to see our album in the next few months.
We strongly recommend Mills Photography!

John and Max Mills photographed our wedding at La Venta Inn this past summer and it was a wonderful, stress-free, and high-quality experience. We strongly recommend them!!!
After an initial consultation, we opted to do a �get to know you� session a few weeks before the wedding; just some casual pictures at some of our favorite L.A. haunts that we could share with friends and display at the wedding itself. (John and Max can create wedding-day displays for you, or they can release the photos to you in time for you to create your own displays at the wedding.) This was a very relaxing afternoon without any set formulae�whenever an opportune moment arose, they snapped a picture, all the while casually strolling along with us and, as the session�s title suggests, getting to know us a little. John and Max are a couple with excellent chemistry and great senses of humor, and they work so well together�this session captured some beautiful photos and, perhaps more importantly, it made us feel as if we were in good hands for the big day! Shortly after the GTKY session, a cd arrived in the mail with all of our pictures, to do with as we pleased. (Never in this process did we feel pressure from the photographers to buy the fanciest package or spend more more more�John and Max do incredible finishing work and they offered us plenty of beautiful packaging and framing options, but they also appreciated our budgeting, and were very considerate and classy about catering to our modest needs.)
The wedding-day was handled with professionalism and unobtrusiveness. On a day when there�s so much to remember, so many small details to sweat and so many deliveries to time, it was a tremendous relief to see John and Max arriving exactly when they had promised. Before lots of guests arrived, they took some gorgeous venue/flower/table pictures, captured some candids of us getting ready, and, generally, warmed up without being in anyone�s way. Then, right on schedule, they commenced with the very long list of family photos we�d concocted, managing to get them all finished before the ceremony was set to begin. Once the event was in process, they somehow managed to capture every key moment without us even sensing their presences, and, for those special pictures we�d asked them to coordinate (such as a whole-group photo with flower-tossing), they got the job done respectfully and quickly. As the night wore on, they had us do some terrific bride-and-groom photos around the venue (showcasing their familiarity with the site and its staff�an invaluable asset!) including some breathtaking sunset pictures. Needless to say, when the cd of wedding photos arrived in the mail, we were extremely pleased!
All in all, the experience with John and Max was entirely positive and we hope others will benefit from our recommendation.

Being a teacher I had the summer off to do my research and prepare for our wedding. I interviewed a variety of photographers and did MY homework on various vendors. Their photographs are what first caught my eye; remarkable shots with beautiful back grounds. I saw their website and was impressed, but it wasn�t until someone recommended them that I decided to call. I met with John and Max and was instantly at ease by their personality, very easy to talk to and understanding of our needs.
We have been so pleased with John & Max throughout the process. They were very familiar with the property, which made the photos an easy and quick transition between the wedding and reception allowing us more time with our guests. Most importantly, our photos came out fantastic! Their creativity shows in our photographs and is truly an art. They have an eye for capturing the perfect photo at the right time.

max and john are very serious about their craft and they are true artists. We got a great price, and they spent hours with us making sure we were completely satisfied with the photos. They gave us a variety of perspectives, and their editing tools are magic. Mostly, aside from the great compositions and amazing photos, I was really thankful for the amount of time and care they put into our wedding. I got so many compliments from my friends and family and am so happy with my choice. Thanks guys for your patience: max, you are so kind and sweet; and john you are soooo talented !!!!!

It is my pleasure to tell you that our experience with Mills Photography was so outstanding that the entire evening I marveled at their ability to photograph every meaningful moment. Their special talent was to have the guests feel at ease and they became a welcome addition to the festivities.
We just received our pictures and marvel at the beauty and style of each masterpiece that was created by this very talented team. In addition to capturing beautiful candids, their creativity is particularly obvious in a number of staged photos that are not only fun to look at but especially memorable as they were accomplished so smoothly and expertly by these two extraordinary people.
We are grateful that we chose John and Max Mills/Mills Photography to photograph our wedding. We are thrilled with the results and I would heartily recommend Mills Photography as they have shown how much they are dedicated to capturing a joyous and tender showcase of this most memorable time in our lives.

John and Max were a delight to work with. My husband and I are very pleased with how our pictures turned out. We could not be happier! We received multiple compliments from our family and friends as to how pleasant it was to work with our photographers. John and Max guided our group pictures with ease. We will definitely refer The Mill's to our family and friends. We will look to John and Max for all of our photgraphy needs in future!!

JOHN & MAX, WHAT A PAIR. SHOULD CHANGE THEIR NAME TO TEAM MILLS. THE BEST VALUE WE FOUND NOT ONLY IN PHOTOGRAPHY, BUT AS PEOPLE WHO OPENED THE DOOR TO THEIR HOME TO TWO LOVE BIRDS LOOKING FOR A GOOD PICTURE TAKER. JOHN GAVE US LOTS OF IDEAS WHILE MAX KEPT HIM IN LINE. LOL!! J/K MAX DID A WONDERFUL JOB WITH THE ALBUM. THEY ARE THE BEST.

At our wedding venue, we noticed several photographs by John and Max Mills and they were beautiful. We met the Mills and they were very friendly and professional. It was great to actually meet the photographers for our wedding versus having a company select one for us. The Mills were so flexible and accommodating with our package. During our engagement photo session at the beach, they spent a substantial amount of time with us and the pictures turned out beautiful. Our guests raved about our the sign-in book. At the wedding, we hardly noticed the Mills but they were able to capture all the great moments. They knew our family member's names and were so polite to our guests. Our wedding pictures were wonderful. We had a difficult time narrowing our selections for our album because there were so many great pictures. Thanks John and Max!

Within three minutes of meeting John and Max Mills, you begin to wonder if you'd rather just invite them to your wedding as guests, because they are extremely friendly, down to earth, real, and for lack of a fancier word, cool. Then you remember you went to see them about photography and if you do, then you have made an excellent choice. John and Max are professional, creative, not-intrusive, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Make sure to ask about their "Getting to know you" session which you will do before the wedding, which helps what is an already easy bond and gives you an example of what a joy they are to work with. We barely even noticed them at the wedding yet all of the most important moments were captured. Their prices were significantly less than others we had talked to and they are easily worth 10 times what you will pay. This is a no brainer. All you need to do is meet with them once. We were so happy with our wedding photographs and album that we are already talking to them about taking baby pictures for us. Wedding planning can be hard, so make one part of it easy - go see John and Max!

John and Max were fantastic!! From the moment we met them, they were so honest and kind. They did everything they could to make our wedding day perfect. Our photos are amazing and they are very easy to work with. On our wedding day, they did not overwhelm us at all with the cameras and being too close. We can not say enough about how professional they are and how great our proofs and photo book turned out!

It has been two years since our daughter's wedding at Palos Verdes Country Club in July of 2007. Every time I look at the stunningly beautiful wedding album by John and Max Mills, I still get chills! I am so glad they were the photographers! Every wedding has a very special moment that hopefully is captured by the photographers! We had many of those moments and John and Max captured all of them . . . the solemn, the whimsy, the breathtaking, the funny - everything! They were professional and yet down to earth . They went above and beyond and it shows in the the photographs! I would highly recommend them!!

What a treat it is to work with John and Max! I would highly recommend having them take black and white engagement photos and create their signature book. We used this for our guest book, and it's one of our favorite wedding momentos.
John and Max are wonderful to work with...extremely professional, yet funny and caring. They will treat your wedding day with as their number one priority, and put you at ease so you don't have to think the photo details, but rather just enjoy the day. We were so happy with our photos, it took forever to select our favorites for our wedding album. Max is truly talented with designing wedding albums, and i know we'll enjoy ours for our lifetimes!
