    My husband and I heard about William from a friend, Lydia, who runs the amazing wedding photography blog, Ever Ours. She recommended him, and after we met William in person, we definitely knew we wanted to work with him. He's very friendly, open, professional, and enthusiastic! The style of his portfolio captured the modern and romantic feel we were looking for.

    We hired him for our wedding day, and he surprised us by showing up earlier and staying later! I should also mention that he took the time to visit the venue beforehand to also get an idea of the space and lighting. On the day of, he knew where to go for the best photos, and it definitely paid off in the end when we got the pictures. Everyone, including the wedding party, felt at ease with him behind the camera and directing us. We had fun all day and this shows too! The photos came out beautiful!

    I couldn't imagine a better experience with another photographer. William goes above and beyond for you, before, during, and after the big day. My husband and I are very thankful that we got to work with him. Thank you for everything, William!

    I cannot rave rave rave ENOUGH about William and his photography package. Will went above and beyond any bride's expectations for both our engagement shoot and wedding shoot. All qualities you want when you are doing an engagement shoot and worried about how awkward you might come across. We quickly felt at ease and comfortable with him watching us 'be in our element' taking photos. He is also very helpful with his own ideas of how to pose. We love the way his colors/edits come out on photos. In general, his style is perfect for us. Edgy yet romantic, Modern, yet classic. Being at ease with him early on in our engagement shoot really helped us to be ready for our wedding. It was wonderful! I continue to get feedback about how amazing our photos look. When choosing our photos for our album, we couldn't stop at 30, 50, or even 100. We wanted the entire CD of images into the book (but that's just silly!). He was responsive, helpful, funny, calm, and nice. I love Will and his work, and wish I could have him on a permanent lifetime retainer. :P

    William was so amazing to work with! My husband and I were referred to him by a friend and I loved his work. William was very professional over e-mails, during meetings and on the day of the wedding. He was very responsive to all my e-mails and made sure that everything would be taken care of on the wedding day. I really appreciated how flexible he was with his schedules when it came time to meetings. It's always nice when vendors work around your busy schedule. William made my husband I feel very comfortable in front of the camera. I also really appreciated the fact that he delivered our wedding photos in the time frame that was stated in the contract! That was very important to my husband and I. My husband and I really enjoyed looking through our wedding photos and we will cherish them forever.

    AWESOME! 10++ He was our photographer for our wedding and he did our engagement photos as well, and I've gotten high praises for them. Being a photo hobbyist, I was very particular with how I want our wedding and engagement photos to look, and William's style was the perfect match! So easy to talk to, he was one of the very first vendors we made sure we book ahead of time. He kept correspondence throughout the year of planning on a constant basis, emailing and asking if we needed help with anything, seeing how we were doing with the planning. During the shoots (engagement and wedding day) he puts you at ease, he cracks jokes and captures that moment of you laughing and just having a good time. It was blast shooting with him. I think what sets him different from all the other photographers out there is, he really takes his time to get to know his clients, he builds that rapport early on with you. I am not kidding when I you tell after your first meeting with him, you feel like you're talking to an old friend. And that helps because then you'll feel more comfortable in front of that camera. And I could not agree more with the prior review, He does go above and beyond what he is expected to do. And that shows you how much he truly cares in capturing that special day for his clients.

    Our wedding was 2 weeks ago, and I cannot wait to see our photos! will definitely book him again for future events! Maternity photos and family photos *hopefully crosses fingers*.

    Here are some of the photos from our E-session with him http://www.williamkimphotography.com/blog/?p=4600

    Will was such a great part of our wedding. He was so helpful and made us feel so comfortable every step of the way. If you're looking for a great photographer who will go above and beyond to capture the perfect picture Will is the way to go! Planning a California wedding from New York was quite a challenge, but Will was so accommodating and put me at ease every step of the way. We love love love our photos and are lucky to have made such a great friend along the way. Thanks, Will!!!

    After seeing Will's work from our friend's wedding, we instantly reached out to him and met with him first before contacting any other photographer's we knew of, some even being close friends. Not only did Will's unique style trump all the other's work, his price was better also. Will is by far the most easy going and personable (while extremely professional) photographer to work with. Once you see his work, you will never look at other engagement or wedding photos the same again, simply because others now look just mediocre, cheap and generic or for lack of words, "just like the rest."

    Will has an eye for creativity that other's lack and is by far the best in his field, but you'll never hear it from him being so humble, as he simply let's his work speak for himself. Not to mention, he doesn't over-charge and under-deliver like many in the business.

    I'm as picky and OCD as they come and I completely was comfortable going "hands off" because he's that good not to mention he'll get back to every single petty inquiry that bride's and groom's have within less than an hour.

    I would highly recommend not just taking my review (since you have no idea who I am) but looking at his work and then comparing to others.....it will DOMINATE.

    We had the honor of having Will photograph our engagement session and our wedding day. My husband and I are the most awkward photo takers. But that didn't stop Will from taking the most amazing and beautiful photos of us. Will is so easy to get along with so he was great at helping us feel comfortable. He gives the right amount of direction to capture the perfect shot.
    Will picked an amazing place for our engagement shoot and, needless to say, the photos were stunning! I was a bit worried that our wedding venue would be challenging to take photos of since it's surrounded by tall office buildings and has a corporate feel. But Will still managed to get amazing shots.
    Throughout the entire process, Will kept in close contact and went over and beyond our expectations. Will is extremely talented and his love for his job truly shines through his work.

    William is AWESOME. When we were shopping photography vendors, we saw several talented ones - Alice Hu, Henry Chen, etc. But I remembered Will did a great job for our friend a few years ago, so I decided to reach out to him. The way my wife described it was beyond just his talent with photos. the way he worked with you. See - William is very personable, his focus is making sure the couple is comfortable and in their own element, and he lets it flow from there. He provides examples and suggestions, but he never pushes you to do something you normally wouldn't do. In many ways, he just enhances the magic of the relationship.

    From a logistics standpoint, William is VERY easy going. We originally had one contracted e-session. Unfortunately because of delays of our own fault we were only able to pull off a few short minutes. Even though it was our fault, William insisted on meeting with us again for a second shoot because wanted to ensure we got it JUST right.

    On the wedding day, he created so many magic memories. But what made it even cooler was that he worked so that you didn't even notice he was snapping photos. These candid's of joyous moments were captured through the night.

    Will is a blossoming artist and I highly recommend you at least meet up with him to see if he is a fit for you. He was for us...and now we always recommend him to others.

    Thank you, Will!

    Photography was a huge priority for myself and my husband. I knew we were in for a huge headache because my husband is very, very picky about photography and pretty much disliked every wedding photographer's blog I showed him.

    William Kim was recommended to us by a few friends who had used him as their photographer. We really liked what we saw on his blog and decided to meet him. William was easy to get along with right from the get go and his enthusiasm was great!

    We loved our engagement session and our wedding day pictures. Who we are were captured very well! All our friends and family had the nicest things to say about our photos. He made it really easy for us to relax in front of the camera. He provided great guidance and really made the whole photo process very enjoyable.

    He is truly a professional and he provides a very high quality level of service and product. There are so many photographers out there but he stands out and I look forward to seeing his business continue to grow! We look forward to working with him in the future for our all our photo needs.

    We booked William for both our engagement session and wedding due to his beautiful work and affordability. I couldn't justfiy spending a fortune so he was a happy medium. Our engagement photos came out great and we even used a photo for our invitation. We received so many compliments. It set the tone for the day of. We displayed our favorite photos during the reception and eveyone loved it. William was extremely responsive to our needs which was very helpful. I did not have to reach out to him at all but instead he always followed up with me which is super important when you have a million things to manage as a bride. William also came early and stayed late during my wedding to make sure to capture all of the special moments which meant a lot to me. What I love about him is that he's very artistic, laid back, loves what he does and is a very good photographer. Definitely my best vendor at my wedding by far.

    Will was awesome!! After searching far and wide through many photographer's portfolios and websites, we decided on Will. His work seemed to grow on us every time we looked at his photos. He truly has a fresh, new eye through his camera lens. We loved his vintage and timeless classic style of shots. We really felt comfortable with him around us and at times, directing us. There was an overflow of his passion for photography in his actions and his dedication to his art. He was very prompt responding to our e-mails or voicemails and went out of his way to make sure our day was captured right. I would recommend Will to anyone without hesitation.

    I had researched countless photographers online when I was planning my wedding. I knew I wanted the best photographer to capture the most important day of my life but at the same time I knew I had to find someone who can work within my budget. What made William Kim Photography stand out was the quality of his work and his portfolio was some of the best I've seen yet his price won't break your budget. He is very professional and was always prompt to respond to my questions or concerns. An example of his professionalism was that he was able to hand over our engagement photos alot sooner than normal because we needed pictures for the reception. I was surprised that although we got them much sooner the quality of his work was not compromised. William really cares about his clients and it shows. It was a great pleasure working with him and his team. I would recommend William Kim to those looking for a talented and professional photographer.

    When deciding on a photographer, make sure you pick one that the both of you are very comfortable with. Choose one that will work with your needs and the kind of pictures you're looking for.

    Will was very open, easy going and friendly. He was very kind with his words when asking us to pose. He made us feel very comfortable and made the session fun and a breeze.

    Will has an amazing way of looking at things. He can capture emotions and allow you to "re-live" that exact moment in time when you look at your pictures. He is a very artistic photographer and his pictures are very original and creative.

    We really enjoyed working with Will and love all his pictures. His work are of great quality and such wonderful work of art that you can enjoy for endless years to come.

    Thank you so much Will for being a part of our wedding and capturing the most important and happiest day of our lives.

    William was such a great photographer. We heard about him through a friend, and thought we'd give it a shot. We made one phone call and the date was set. I don't know anyone who is more friendly and easy going than William, but his professionalism in service and product is by far the best I've seen. He knew exactly what we needed to do, how to stand, where to look, and our wedding photos came out beautifully! Thanks again Will!
