To all brides, I loved the work that Ken Pak and his team provided. So much so that I cancelled my previous contract with another photographer to use Ken instead losing my $1K deposit to sign up with Ken! I wasn't 100% positive and confident that they'd deliver the results I wanted for this one day and I felt that confidence and enthusiasm with Ken after I met him for our video. When I saw the photography work he did i just had to cancel with the other vendor as his work spoke to the exact feeling I wanted captured in my photos. My favorite thing about his pictures was that he was great ath captureing unique pictures, angles, lighting, moments and the ACTION shots!! I loved his action shots with movement and it told a story. I specifically asked for those on my wedding day and they came out great. The best feeling was that I wholeheartedly trusted he and his team to capture the images on my very special day and I'm still goign throug the 3000+ pictures I received!! Whew!

He was great at making tihngs move along and "managing" those special friends/relatives that were time suckers and distracted us from our schedule.. He'd snap a pic quickly to make them happy and then keep moving.. very clever ;) Especially with our massive amount of family it takes time, patience and a great director to have people moving, happy and orderly. It was sort of hot and humid out that day so we wanted to move quickly!

He takes some posed shots and then lots of candid shots. I loved having his team around me and working with us all day ! I just wish we signed with him from the get go and it would've been less stress to switch to him :)

If you're having a korean wedding he is HIGHLY recommended! He helped greatly with our guests/family and also the korean ceremony vendor whihc was a huge relief.. Honeslty he's a seasoned professional and knows what he's doing so it helps greatly in relying on him to know what's going on. he speaks korean too so that helps tremendously of course :)

I recommend having a list of your must have shots and to provide him that feedback.. I haven't received my video yet so I can't comment on it but I'm sure it'll look great! Ask for custom packages if you need something outside of his out of the box packages to make sure it fits your needs :) Enjoy!

My husband used Ken Pak and his team at VisualSketch for our engagement photos, wedding photos and wedding videography. We LOVED the quality of our pictures and Ken's attention to detail. Literally people who have seen our wedding photos say they should be in a wedding magazine. Ken did a great job! He was so flexible and truly helped us capture our wedding's events at various locations. He was able to capture the beauty of our large cathedral like church (Corpus Christi); however, we also have pictures that make it feel intimate and captured our first kiss, emotion, etc. We have pictures in front of the inner harbor which are gorgeous! Pictures capturing our family and friends with use... the little moments: laughs, a sneaked kiss, dancing, etc. Truly we felt our wedding was captured beautifully by Ken and his team. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Ken to any of my friends or family getting married. My husband and I will definitely look to Ken and VisualStudio someday when we have kids and want family photos.

Ken Pak is a creative genius and was one of the best wedding vendor decisions my wife and I made. His video trailer of our wedding has become a cult classic among our friends and family (my mom has watched it 153 times) and every time we watch it we catch another intricate nuance that Ken captured. Ken is a master of his craft, he is an expert editor, and he is an absolute pleasure to work with. Hire him - you will be blown away by his work.

AMAZING WORK! AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER!

Ken is such an amazing artist! His work is unbelievable.
Very professional and flexible. We had to reschedule many of our sessions prior to the wedding and he was very responsive and flexible. I recommend doing all those trials before the big day so you feel more comfortable with him. He is very friendly too. Everyone who saw him at the wedding thought he was amazing! We will definitely use him again for our special occasions.

MUST USE!! This company is an absolute hire! Our guests even complimented the photographers before the night was over.
There is nothing that we can write that would capture how great Ken is as a photographer, business owner, and artist. He really enjoys what he does, and it is evident in his work.

Pay the extra money to upgrade and include the wedding slide show, engagement photos, and canvas display board. We didn't do the videography (money constraints), but if you can afford it, splurge.

This service is definitely money well spent. We need to wait a couple weeks to see the final wedding shots, but the previews (and engagement shots) were AMAZING!

Thanks!

I LOVED working with Ken for all my wedding photos. We used Visual Sketch for our engagement and bridal pics. They were super easy to work with and all the photos turned out absolutely beautiful. Their style of photography was a hit with everyone at the wedding. They set up a screen at the wedding so all the guests could see the photos that were shot before the wedding as well as photos that they shot through out the wedding day. I highly recommend Ken and his studio to any and every bride looking for a photographer who is easy to work and takes beautiful pictures.

All my guests LOVED all the pictures that were taken.

Ken Pak Photography was AMAZING! Ken and his associates are very talented and easy to work with. My husband and I continued to be amazed by their work and we couldn't be happier with our engagement and wedding photos. You couldn't be any luckier to have them as one of your wedding vendors!!! :)

Ken Pak and his team of photographers were great! I can't wait to see my photos when he posts them online. Ken is very flexible and is responsive. We've had to cancel an Engagement shoot numerous times due to weather and he was always ok with that. On our Wedding day, he was there at the exact time I asked and stayed until the end. We definitely got what we paid for and couldn't be happier.

Ken is the best photographer I've worked with!!! The pictures are top quality, and he really captured each moments artistically! Unlike some typical postures you'd see elsewhere, the pictures are so alive and creative!

He is also fun to work with, we were so at ease and laughed a lot! We did two hours of engagement shooting in old town Alexandria--the best pictures we'd ever had! and he was with us the whole wedding day--more hours than I expected! Ken is definitely a professional!

Overall, I highly recommend Ken, you will get much much more than what you paid for!

Ken and his staff at Visual Sketch Studios are wonderful to work with. His pictures are beautiful and tailored to reflect the personalities of the person/couple, instead of being "cookie-cutter" pictures. Ken has an easy going personality, making an 8 hour photo shoot in a huge wedding dress on a hot day, fun. He gets the pictures up to his site quickly for view. Services and staff at Visual Sketch Studios are just great!

Ken Pak/Visualsketch photography was sooooo good!!!! We got so many compliments of their service. They seemed to be everywhere, at the right moment, taking the best shots, at all times! They were flexible, and professional. I met with about 5 or 6 photographers before making my selection, and I KNOW I made the right choice. My photos were absoutely gorgeous. After receiving them, I did not like the finish I picked out for one of my bigger prints. Ken Pak sent me another copy, with a different finish, at no cost!!!!, plus I got to keep the other one. Visualsketch is the ONLY photographer I will ever use for an event or for professinal pictures. Oh...also..I never got a chance to do my engagment session, however they are giving me a rain check for a later date of my choice. I LOVE THEM!!!!

What can I say....These are the Alfred Eisenstaedt or the Ansel Adams for the new era. An eye for talent...I think so!! My wife and I found Ken with the help of Jade Lee at Kama wedding. Upon initial viewing of their portfolios, we were hooked. However, being the savy shoppers as we had to be within our budget, we shopped the entire local wedding circuit and concluded there is nothing like Visual Sketch. The album design to engagement photos to wedding pictures----phenomenal. Jay was our master photographer the night of the wedding and he took time to not only meet us, but to brainstorm and ask what kind of shots we were looking for. Jay even stayed around later then he needed to in order to capture every last memory for us. He and his team of photographers are second to none! If you�re looking for a great company to work with and professional staff...you have found the place. The absolute best quality and value we have found! Thanks guys!!

If you want personalized service with top of the line quality, this place is perfect for you. We loved their pictures on their website and samples we saw at the studio. Extraordinary photographer, period! Ken, the main photographer, bent backwards and went the extra mile just to get us what we wanted. His team of photographers and videographers sync together and work in the background, they'll be there whenever you need them to take that kodak-moment pictures. They are the best and the most friendliest team we have ever dealt with during our wedding preparation.

Ken and his team were not only professional they made us feel like they were a part of the family. I would rate Ken significantly above average in terms of his quality and skills. His can do attitude, tremendous work ethic and photographic capabilities, together with his strong dedication are outstanding and made our wedding so memorable. His team is engaged and focused and they prioritize tasks well, and can manage multiple assignments and variable workloads with much maturity. He also works well in collaborative group settings and asserts leadership when circumstances or group dynamics indicate the need for leadership. Ken has outstanding interpersonal skills and is sensitive to the emotions, positions and needs of others. Ken made our wedding the best it could have possibly been. We will be forever grateful.
