Beautiful photos for a lifetime!
SPECTACULAR! I didn’t give too much thought into my wedding photography, was just looking for a portfolio I liked and fit our budget and I’m so incredibly grateful that I stumbled upon Lin & Jirsa. Now, the #1 piece of advice I give to anyone planning a wedding is INVEST IN YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER because at the end of the day all you have are the photos. I think the fact that they are a larger studio (versus 1 or 2 photographers running their own business) works in their favor as make sure their photographers can shoot in all styles or at least match you with someone who can shoot in the style you prefer. Also, they had a very fleshed out process, they had me look through their Pinterest and pin photos I liked to get a sense of my style, a comprehensive questionnaire and included an assistant (for lighting, coordination, 3rd shooter) in their package. Had to wait the full 12 weeks to get the photos back but they were SO worth it! My lead photographer Larry Sandez had such a good eye for framing, positioning, getting fun poses and shot the “light and airy” style beautifully. Thank you so so much, I love flipping through my wedding photos!!! -

We knew from the very beginning of wedding planning that having Lin and Jirsa on our wedding vendor team was a must. The Lin and Jirsa team is extremely well organized and ensured that everything was addressed prior to our events. Their photographer scheduled a call with us to go over our vision to be sure that they got each and every one of the photos we wanted on the day of our events. My husband and I met in the San Francisco Bay Area and we were able to arrange Lin and Jirsa’s team to take our photos in San Francisco. We had many locations scheduled and our photographer Mike and second shooter made our engagement shoot an incredible experience. They even braved the 40mph winds near the Golden Gate Bridge! The engagement photos were absolutely incredible as we anticipated! For our wedding events, their attention to detail was exceptional. They made sure to capture all important parts of our Mehendi/Sangeet, Indian ceremony, American ceremony, and reception. On the day of our events the Lin and Jirsa team were on time and followed our timeline perfectly, even adjusting to an earlier ceremony time so that we could have more time to dance! The quality of every photo is truly phenomenal. I would choose Lin and Jirsa one thousand times over again and cannot recommend them enough. Mike, your work is truly incredible and we really appreciated how you make everyone comfortable in front of the camera. Thank you Lin and Jirsa! -

From the time we booked them to our wedding day, the team from Lin and Jirsa was professional and communicative. On the actual day of our wedding, Nicole, Jason, and their whole team were amazing, patient with our family, and so easy to work with. They even found this out-of-the-way for the night shot my wife wanted. 5/5 would book again. -

We had a destination wedding in California, so naturally, we did A LOT of research on weddings and vendors in the area prior to finalizing. A good photographer being one of the most important vendors, we knew we had to find one that was well reputed, took beautiful photographs and had trustworthy service.
When you search for Southern California photographers, Lin and Jirsa pop up literally everywhere - and for good reason! They have been in the business a long time, photographed countless beautiful weddings and received rave reviews from customers and other vendors in the area. Our experience with them was nothing short of that.
We worked with at least 4-5 different photographers across our 3 days of events (probably more - I can't even remember anymore!), but all of them were experienced and easy/fun to work with. Their pricing is reasonable for how many photographers they provide at each of your events, and the process to book them is also quite simple. We received regular communication from them about creating a mood board and providing more information about us as a couple, but it was also nice to know that we could could trust their quality from the get-go.
Our main photographer on the day of our wedding, Andrew, was really great! We had LARGE group photos, and we appreciated that he did his best to make sure everyone was looking in the same direction, positioned correctly, etc. Indian weddings tend to be chaotic in general, but he and the whole L&J crew with us on our wedding day managed that very well!
In hindsight, I do wish we would have had the same team of photographers for all 3 days of our events, because I think that would have allowed them to get to know as better as a couple and get EVEN better photographs. I also don't think our mood board ended up being reflected in our photos as much as I would have wanted. There are a lot of shots we wanted and didn't get - but there were also some that we got that were unexpectedly beautiful.
All in all, I would say L&J was a good choice for us. Although I would urge couples in the future to clearly communicate about certain shots they REALLY want and try to book the same photographer for all events, we are very happy with our photographs and had nothing but good experiences with everyone at the company. -

Planning a wedding is hard, stressful, and often times overwhelming. Working with Lin and Jirsa is the opposite of those adjectives. From the moment I reached out to make an inquiry to the day they arrived on site-- they were stellar. Their office team is responsive, easy to work with, and informative. Our photographers (Shivani, Lauren, and Pye) were more than we could have ever asked for. Shivani was our ULTIMATE hype girl-- her energy was perfect for my wedding party. Lauren was kind and thoughtful, she even hung back after the reception to say goodbye to my parents. Pye was professional, intentional, patient, and intuitive. Together, they were the DREAM TEAM. I've only seen sneak peeks so far, but I'm already obsessed. My family, friends, and I have been swooning over these, and we cannot wait to see the full gallery. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being the photo team I needed. You far exceeded my expectations.

Nicki Sent on 01/23/2019Lin & Jirsa are the best - especially for a big fat Indian wedding!
We are so grateful to have had Lin & Jirsa as our wedding photographers - everything about them is high quality and very classy. They definitely know how to capture all the emotions, vibrancy, and organized madness at weddings, especially big Indian weddings!
We had Brandon for our engagement shoot at Victoria Beach, for our first wedding event we had Nick, Rabiya, and Angel, and the wedding/reception with Justin, Nick and Rabiya! Selena was incredibly helpful in all aspects of coordination prior to and after the events.
All of the photographers really just make you feel comfortable and yourself, which is what you need on your wedding day! They make sure to discuss certain shots you may want before hands so they can incorporate them into the day. Most importantly, on the day, they were so accommodating, friendly, and if they were expected to be somewhere or capture something, they were always on time doing it. We are so pleased with all the photos we got, and again, are so grateful to have had the team we did! We would highly recommend them to anyone for their wedding!
Also, just a special shout out to Justin, who is such an artistic visionary, and an overall wonderful person - once he gets his mind going on a shot, he will work so hard to make sure its perfect, and it is SO worth it! -

Grace Sent on 09/04/2008I have been so pleased with Lin and Jirsa Photography. I booked them after reviewing a lot of their work on Pinterest, their website and blog. So far we've gotten our engagement pictures back and they are AMAZING! And the booking process has been a lot easier than a lot of other vendors. They are patient and easy and thorough. Instead of me having to ask specific questions, they address many issues that I don't even think about like, how many outfit changes, what time to start, etc...
Our photographer for engagement session is Sarah and our wedding day photographer will be Pye. I am eagerly looking forward to all of our festivities coming up and know that they will just be cherished in print forever. I can't wait. Highly recommend LJP for their friendliness, quality of work and ease of correspondence (especially during this hectic wedding planning time). Anything that makes my to-do less stressful is a 5-star in my book. -

Jessica Sent on 05/18/2016I had a great experience with Lin and Jirsa Photography. Booking them was SO easy and they have so many different packages available to meet your financial needs. Even if they don't have a package that has exactly what you want, they will customize one for you. There is no question that LJP is the best in the industry. They respond very promptly to emails and if there is any issue, they resolve it right away. They truly want to make you happy. Onto the photography itself, Andrew was our lead photographer and he was amazing. He is very artistic and pays attention to detail. My husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera and don't really like to take pictures, so Andrew was very patient with us and made it as painless as possible. He got some amazing shots, but my favorites were the candid ones. Andrew and his two assistants did an amazing job at capturing the moments. We didn't have a videographer, but with the pictures we got we didn't need it. He really told the story of our day through the pictures. Lastly, we got married on Saturday, March 19th, and received all of our images on Friday, April 1st. Less than 2 weeks after the wedding. We technically got married before the busy wedding season, but still they originally told me 4-6 weeks and we got them in less than 2 so I was very happy with that!!!! Anyway, great service, great work, and I recommend them to everyone!
