Amazing, professional, great sense of humor

He does a very professional job. The pictures turn out absolutely beautiful. Ken, is prompt to all locations. He takes him time to make sure all your important shots are taken. Ken, will meet with you as often as you need before the big day. He will make sure you don't forget any shots you might not think of. Most important he makes it fun taking all these pictures.

Engagement Photo

My fiance and I had a wonderful experience with our photographers, Ken and Lynzi. Ken met with us a week before to scout memorable places for photos and asked us questions to get a feel for the types of pictures we wanted for the special day. He was so open to shooting whatever we wanted and had such great suggestions for pictures as well! Loved the variety of photos and the quality was excellent! The photos are absolutely stunning. We got our photos back in 6 days! AMAZING.

Non traditional Wedding on a Budget

I cannot possibly say enough positive things about Ken. My husband and I planned our wedding in a relatively short amount of time with a limited budget. From the very beginning, Ken had excellent communication. He interviewed both my husband and I to gauge what we really wanted. I had to e-mail him several times to get clarification or to make an additional request. Ken never seemed bothered by any of my requests. He even went so far as to visit our ideal locations beforehand in order to recommend the optimum location for pictures to capture our nontraditional wedding. When the day of the event finally arrived, he was prompt and efficient. With about 30 people in a small venue for pictures complete with children running around, he kept the focus on my husband and I and made the process of formal pictures as stress free as possible. He followed us to our reception spot and captured some beautiful candid shots. The final pictures we received were simply stunning. His final edits made the colors pop. There is no doubt in my mind that if/when we need professional pictures, Ken will be the first phone call I make!

An A-1 Photographer!

Ken captured the most amazing moments at my 2nd Wedding Reception/Dance Extravaganza! He's friendly, patient, and definitely knows what he's doing; as I said, it was a dance extravaganza with a lot of people and a lot more movement, and he managed to capture ALL the movement with practically no blurriness! I totally trusted his expertise that night, and he 100% delivered! Thank you so much for capturing such a special day, Ken!

Great service and Highly Quality Product! One less thing to worry about when you work with AwestrucKen!

AwestrucKen came out to our kickboxing studio to take individual and group shots of our staff in action. The results were fantastic and we use the pics to help promote our studio, in hiring ads, and more. I would use them again and again!

Excellent experience! You will love your pictures!!

"I have worked with Ken on my photo project for a professional website. I have had a great, fun- relaxed, professional and friendly experience doing that. Ken has an in-depth knowledge, passion for photography and an easy going and friendly personality, that made completing my project enjoyable and successful. I did already recommend Ken to few of my friends and will definitely use his services in the future. The quality of my pictures were amazing and I already have had many compliments about my new website. Thank you Ken!!"

Highly Recommend!

Ken of Awestruck photography is an amazing photographer. I trusted him with my 'family portrait' with my beloved dogs. They were probably one of his toughest clients, being non English speaking, and non human, but his patience and perseverance paid off, and he got the photos! I treasure each of the pictures he took, and have one hanging on my mantel because the photo is that good!!! I would trust Ken to capture any of my life events, and I'm so happy that I had the opportunity to work with him.
Highly recommend!!!

Consistently Impressed

I have worked as a model for AwestrucKen Photography on two separate occasions, and both times I've been consistently impressed with the experience and the results. Ken has fantastic vision for shots, and is unafraid to play around with different techniques and directions to achieve the best result. Even more than that, he is comfortable to work with. Each time I have anxiously awaited the final shots, and I have never been disappointed with the outcome.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
