Ken Pak Photography

We hired Ken as our engagement and wedding photographer based on positive reviews and accolades we saw elsewhere, and we have to say that he absolutely deserves all the praise!! Ken was super down to Earth, took the time to get to know us as a couple, and of course provided us with the most amazing photos - both classic photos and also more unique and memorable shots that I think only he could produce. My favorite part about working with Ken is that he has a way of entertaining and bringing out genuine laughs out of those that he works with so that the smiles in all the shots are truly authentic and real. The videographer even told us during our wedding that "this man is a legend." We couldn't have been happier with Ken, and we highly recommend him to anyone.

We absolutely loved working with Ken because he cares deeply about his product and his clients.  For those who aren’t used to getting their photo taken, it can be uncomfortable and tiring; however, Ken made us feel relaxed, comfortable, and energized because he brings so much joy and passion to what he does.  Our guests are still talking about how Ken just dove right in, even taking people’s phones and teaching them how to take better pictures!  We had no idea that a photographer could help make the wedding day even more enjoyable, but that is exactly what Ken did.  And then when we got his photos, we were completely blown away at how amazing they were!  He knows which photos to make black and white, when to add effects to accentuate movement, and how to make people shine.  His photos are full of creative angles and lighting, which is exactly what we wanted.  He is truly an artist who sees opportunity and can beautifully capture emotion and moments.  We had to postpone our wedding twice due to COVID and he was very flexible and easy to work with.  We are SO glad that we chose Ken Pak Photography and would highly recommend Ken!  Thank you so much, Ken!

The best way to describe our wonderful experience with Ken has almost nothing to do with his incredible photographs. (yes the photographs were beyond our expectations, absolutely stunning, creatively shot, and looked better than a Vogue shoot.) First, you spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day- that means that the most special moments between you and your spouse will include another person - Ken had us laughing ALL day and he made us have fun as we ran around the city taking our photos. We had a wonderful day because he made us feel comfortable around him, we felt happy having him be part of our day, and he literally felt like a family member. Speaking of family members, my 75 year old immigrant mother who is incredibly hard to please and who was a little on edge that we were having a non-denominational, non traditional wedding could not stop talking about Ken for weeks after the wedding. She said he was one of the best parts of the wedding. That day had been so emotional for her and she said Ken making her and all of us laugh during photos made her happy. So yes you should hire Ken because of his incredible photography talent but more importantly- if you want to spend one of the most important days of your life with someone warm, happy, and lovely that will make you, your spouse, and your family laugh and smile…. It’s Ken.

Hire Ken Pak Photography! The engagement, wedding morning getting ready, the ceremony and reception photos are some of the most beautiful, animated and fun photos we have ever seen! To say they were outstanding would be an understatement! There are no words adequate. They are art! Ken and his team, Nony and Eunhee, were everywhere but never interrupting or interfering with the flow of the day. So many guests stated how much they enjoyed them! Thank you so much Ken, Nony and Eunhee.
As the Mother of the Bride, I have relived and retold many stories about our daughter’s marriage. It was one of the happiest weekends of our lives. The wedding ceremony was held at Dahlgren Chapel, on Georgetown Campus, and the reception was at Sequoia DC in November 2021. At the end of each retelling I close with, “I would not change a thing.” I must give credit where credit is due.

There are not enough ways to describe how amazing it is to have Ken Pak as your wedding photographer; I feel truly lucky to be able to say he was there. From the very first time you meet him, you know that he is not just any other photographer. He shines in the untraditional and fun, and ever picture we have received conveys so much more than the pose. He cares about your story and wants to be part of it, and highlight it through the pictures. My husband and I are very awkward in front of a camera, but he made it fun and I truly will cherish all of the pictures Ken captured.
The main thing that jumps out at me in the pictures is the joy Ken managed to capture. A lot of that has to do with how comfortable he made us all feel. Ken truly felt like a part of the wedding and reception and I cannot picture doing it over again without him right there!

To say that Ken is simply a wedding photographer would be a lie; when you hire Ken for your wedding, you get the Ken Pak experience! Ken's photography is in a league of its own. With Ken as your photographer, you will not have wedding photos; you will have a work of art commemorating your special day.

Everyone loved him! My husband and I, our guests, the hotel staff, the people on the street walking by the hotel - I mean EVERYONE! It is impossible to not be in the best mood when you're working with Ken. Over a month after our wedding, our guests are still raving about how cool Ken is!

Ken knows how to be present and how to be part of the background; he is the consummate professional and an incredibly gifted and talented photographer. We had a morning wedding, and even at that early hour, Ken's energy was boundless. If you haven’t had your wedding yet, DEFINITELY hire Ken as your photographer. If you already had your wedding and didn’t hire him, well...just get married again and then hire him!

Ken is AMAZING!!! He made our wedding weekend! He has such talent and captures the most amazing photos and moments. Ken traveled so far to get to our venue and had such energy throughout the weekend! Not to mention, he was so responsive and understanding when we had to postpone our wedding. Highly recommend !!

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!

There aren't enough words to express how happy we are with Ken Pak Photography. He was recommended by our wedding planner and we loved his work immediately. Meeting him in person only made us want to work with him more. He has wonderful enthusiasm and it shows in his craft. We did both an engagement session and wedding photos with him. He is a great candid photographer (along with the typical portraits of course). Ken is able to capture the mood of what he shooting. Whether it is emotional, playful, light, or dark--whatever it is, he is able to capture its essence, which really makes him stand out. He has a sharp eye and can catch even the smallest detail and turn it into something wonderful. There were times when we were not sure what we were doing, but he guided us along, and if you trust his process--you won't be disappointed!

Ken was also very accommodating--especially with our rescheduling due to COVID-19. We also had a few more components to capture including two ceremonies, the dinner reception, and a surprise trolley tour. So we were a complicated bunch, but Ken rolled with it. We are very grateful that he was able to capture all these moments and more.

Ken also provided a fast turn around time. We shared them with friends and family and they were all delighted!

For us, choosing a photographer was one of the most important components of our wedding since we knew we would be cherishing these photos in the future. Ken Pak did a great job and we highly HIGHLY recommend him.

Ken is amazing! Initially, we weren't going to have a full wedding photographer because we had a very small wedding, and 15 photos were included with the package we chose. With that said, our friends gifted us with Ken for our photos because they knew we would look back and wish we had more than 15. In a nutshell: I'm speechless. Ken was SO great to work with! Our pictures turned out beautifully and he was genuinely such a fun photographer to work with. When I look through these photos (over and over, btw), the pure joy and happiness shines through in his work. On top of our beautiful photos, my family couldn't stop talking about how amazing he was, and how they'd never had such a fun wedding photo experience in all their years! I'd recommend Ken to anyone!

Ken is incredible! I've never met someone more excited and passionate about taking photos! He is an extraordinarily gifted, creative, and artistic photographer. Ken and his second shooter Nony captured our day wonderfully, and our wedding photos turned out absolutely amazing. Ken played around with different colors and lighting, and we love how it turned out; the photos are so fun to look at! I would highly recommend Ken Pak!

We were fortunate enough to have Ken Pak Photography do our engagement and wedding photos! I have so many wonderful things to share here... Ken Pak was outstanding to work with in so many ways, and his work is every bit as impressive and awesome as he is! From our first meeting back in 2019, to postponing our wedding, then changing our venue 2 months out, Ken was gracious and flexible at every turn 2020 threw our way. You can look at his website or social media and see what a unique and talented perspective his work has, but what I want to highlight here is what an amazing person and professional he is. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had with our photographer and how hard he hustled all day and night to capture every moment. You cannot believe how hard Ken and his team work, you will feel like he is everywhere all at once (but never interfering with your event). Once we got our nearly 3000 photos back, we can confirm, Ken and team must have been in the floorboards, swinging from the rafters, and somehow invisibly hiding in all the small, quiet moments. From a value perspective I feel like it's worth mentioning that those 3000 photos were all beautifully and fully edited, ready for digital posting or large print with no "proof" or hoops to jump through. He does a great job engaging with everyone, making you feel comfortable, and pulling emotions out to capture all the fun and sentimental moments. Your wedding day will fly by, there will be things you miss or wish you had paid close attention to. A great photographer is worth your investment because they will capture the whirlwind for you and your family to relive, reflect on, and enjoy for years to come! Just go with Ken, we promise you, your family, and all your guests will be glad did!

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding that Ken and his team photographed back in 2014 and his photos, by far, have been some of the best that I have seen. When I got engaged, I knew that I wanted to have Ken as the photographer for my wedding. Even when our big plans were changed due to COVID-19, there was still no question that we wanted Ken as our photographer for our mini ceremony. Throughout the wedding day, Ken and his team were prompt, professional, and fun! What really stood out to me during that day was their boundless enthusiasm and creativity while taking our photos. As my husband and I look through our photos, we continue to be impressed at how artistic and creative the photos turned out to be and how he was able to take a simple background and turn it into something beautiful. Ken and his team were also able to capture all of the little details of our wedding in a fun way and also all the sweet candid moments we had. Ken and his team did an amazing job and our wedding photos turned out beautifully. I would highly recommend Ken and his team to anybody looking for a high energy, fun, creative, and artistic photographer!

Ken is so easy to work with and really takes time to get to know you
