Made our Wedding Day INCREDIBLE!

I have nothing but incredible comments to say for this husband and wife pair. They were so professional, so kind, so caring, and have a true appreciation for their art. They truly cared that we had an incredible time while taking photos, made sure we were comfortable with wherever we went, and took absolutely beautiful photos. This duo knew the venue like the back of their hand. This made us feel completely at ease and went with their direction on every location and shot at our outdoor wedding (something that is not easy). Their style is so romantic, dreamy, and picture perfect! Their eye for this art is so appreciated and we CANNOT wait to see the rest of our beautiful photos from our perfect day. Oh, and hire them for BOTH photography/videography! I have heard horror stories about the videography getting in all of the photos or vice versa. This was never a worry I had with this couple as their chemistry made their flow/working around each other so perfect. I could not recommend Koman's more!!

I had Koman for my wedding photographer back in May. They were very easy to work with and the instructions they gave us were really easy to follow. My husband was very shy in front of camera; however, Marlene and John made him looked very happy and natural in all of the photos we received. Koman Photography captured both my childhood dream and the spirit I've desired for my husband and I, and all my lovely guests. Their frames mesmerized me and left me speechless. Defintly worth every penny and recommend to all couples that are looking for good photographer.

After seeing John and Marlene's work, we knew that they were the best out there, and we did not waste anytime to go knocking on their door. They are very good at what they do, very professional, and yet very easygoing. They made us very comfortable, and made sure to make our sessions fun for us. All we could really say when we saw our photos was WOW! The photos were so beautiful! We really did enjoy working with the Komans and we cannot wait to see the rest of the wedding photos! Thank you so much John and Marlene, you guys are amazing! - Melogie and Ryan

Marlene and John are incredible! I fell in love with their pictures online and then fell in love with them and their photography!!! They did an amazing engagement session for my husband and I. It gave us an opportunity to practice in front of the camera. The photos were amazing! They made us feel so comfortable! It was so much fun being in front of the camera on the wedding day. They are incredibly friendly, professional and talented. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone in the future!!!

John and Marlene at Koman Photography are great at what they do! We used them for our engagement session and our wedding and the pictures from both came out amazing. We are so happy with the photos they took and cannot wait to receive the album they are putting together for us.

Marlene and John are the DREAM TEAM. Booking them was one of the best decisions we've ever made. First, our engagement photo session was flawless. They are artists and so talented at what they do. They met us in Venice for the first half of the shoot and then drove all the way to Malibu to shoot more on the beach. Leading up to the big day, they were always available to answer any questions we had. On our wedding day, despite the fact that it was in the middle of July in LA, it was raining! Not only were Marlene and and John so calming, they offered to give us another opporunity to shoot photos if these one's didn't come out how we wanted them. They love each other and they love their work and it really shows. We are so thankful we had them capturing this moment for us. Highly highly recommend!

LOOK NO FURTHER. That's right, you have just found the most amazing wedding photographers EVER. I must admit, I am not so easy to please & I was more than impressed with the Komans. From our first meeting they made sure to answer all of our questions and were really easy to get along with. Throughout our communications they were always very professional, super sweet, and very prompt in every reply. And of course, their photos speak for themselves! They're commonly featured on StyleMePretty and you could be too! They use soft natural lighting and make sure your photos have a variety of shots, romantic, classic, natural, posed, whimsical, fun, wide angles, close ups, you'll have so many beautiful shots to choose from... That will be your biggest problem! My bestie told me when she got her photos back (by another photographer) she only had a few she liked. When we received our shots, it was quite the opposite! Marlene and john work so well together that they capture you looking your best! And they're such a pleasant and sweet couple themselves, it's really easy to be natural and sweet around them too. We truly felt blessed to be working with a team who truly have passion and pride in their talent and hard work. We absolutely love love love all of our photos and I couldn't recommend anyone else to any of my besties! Even when it rained on our wedding day, we missed some shots that we wanted outside, but we were still happy with the photos we got! They were amazing! As if the Komans weren't already our new best friends, they offered us a free post session to make sure we had even more shots together!!!! They really are the greatest and I'm sure you'll agree. This is the day you want to capture so perfectly, and the Komans will do that for you.

I cannot say enough GREAT things about the Komans!!! As soon as we had found their site and saw their beautiful photos, we knew we just HAD to use them!!! We were unable to meet Marlene and John before our big day since we were planning our wedding from across the country, but as soon as we had met them it felt like they were old friends to us. They both made us feel so comfortable on a day that can be so busy and nerve-wrecking. They gave us so much direction that we didn't have to worry about anything except having fun!!! Because our wedding was so small and intimate, we were able to spend a ton of time taking photos and some of our most memorable moments were hanging out with them. I also love that Marlene and John will show you the photos as they are taking them, so you know exactly what you look like...I am not kidding when I say that it looks like their photos have already been edited when shown on the "preview" screen. These two are true artists!!!! Not only are Marlene and John talented and professional but they are so kindhearted and funny as well. We will recommend them again and again!!! These two are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
