Sean was recommended to me while I was wedding dress shopping in Pasadena. I scheduled a meeting, liked his work, and hired him for my wedding. A few weeks prior to the wedding, Sean and I met to go over the final details and get everything set up for the big day. The day of the wedding, Sean and his assistant were on time, professional, and worth every penny. Sean must have walked miles upon miles - he was moving all throughout the ceremony and reception looking for great shots. I loved having him there and really am happy that we hired him. Do not miss out on a photographer who (1) knows what he is doing, (2) is a complete professional, and (3) such a nice guy. He is incredible and you will NOT be disappointed with his work.

I was married in 2017 and Sean was the photographer. He was recommended to my then-finance by a friend whose judgement we trusted. My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Sean at our wedding. He really listened to our requests as well as our questions prior to the wedding and was at the church and ready to go before we arrived ourselves. Sean captured all the right moments and created lovely images of each of our guests as well as of ourselves without any of us being aware of his presence! Besides his obvious photographic skill, Sean has the gift of a calm yet reassuring personality. I never doubted that he had his part of our celebration completely under control. What a blessing!
He ultimately took over 440 photographs and made them available to us on a flash drive. Based on the type of photograph album we chose (and he has many, many examples of beautiful albums of every kind in his studio) he advised us regarding placement of the photos, what kind of enhancements we might like (black & white, added text or different colored backgrounds for example) and sent us proofs of each of the pages before we ordered the album. The album, created in Italy, was sent to Sean's studio where my husband and I picked it up. We were so thrilled with the result that I specifically asked Sean if I could recommend him online.
Use Sean J Mason as your wedding photographer - I promise that you too will be thrilled.

Sean is an amazing photographer. We did our engagement photos and wedding photos with him. He is great to work with and gives you direction. Me and my husband are pretty shy and Sean made us feel comfortable and captured all the right moments. I can honestly say I love every single photo. They look amazing! Highly recommend.

I was married this June and Sean provided the photography for my engagement session and wedding. My husband and I couldn't be happier with him. We're both pretty shy people, but Sean quickly put us at ease and we really enjoyed the sessions. Now we'd like to take family photos each year.

Sean is professional, prompt, and has a great eye. He was responsive to email and quick to answer any questions. And, he was flexible with special requests, like our photo location and desire for specific poses. He provided a great variety of images, including various backgrounds, poses, and effects (black & white, different saturations, etc). During the wedding, he was incredibly organized and did a great job of making sure we got the photos we wanted. And, like the other reviews say, he was like a fly on the wall (completely non-intrusive) during the ceremony and reception. We were also pleased with the photo slide show he composed for our reception. In addition to including our childhood photos, he provided a great choice of music and theme.

When we received our final wedding photo DVD, we held a screening party with our parents. Everyone was incredibly pleased with the results. There was a mix of fun photos, candids, formal family, and artistic shots (my sister said that one segment reminded her of a Chanel add!). We would definitely 100% recommend Sean to a friend.

Sean was the photographer for both our engagement photos and wedding.

Here's the short version of my review: if you want photos that look like they belong in a wedding magazine at a fraction of the cost of what other photographers charge, then Sean is your guy.

Here's the long version of why Sean is amazing.
1. Cost
Anyone who has even remotely started their wedding planning knows that most vendors will sell you hard to buy little extras or upgrade to a more expensive package. Sean is the antithesis of a pressure salesman. The entire first conversation we had with him hinged around our vision for the wedding photography. Then he pulled out a price list, we picked a package, and that was that. Did I mention that his prices are EXTREMELY reasonable? I know this because I compared his services (which are clearly listed with pricing info on his website) to like seven other photographers. Yeah, I did my homework...you are not going to find a better photographer, especially at his prices!

2. Photo Quality
I was initially attracted to Sean's work because it was, well, awesome. When I looked through his portfolio, I felt like I was flipping through an issue of Brides magazine. Every girl wants to look like a model on her wedding day. Sean did not let me down, lol. I got a mix of candid and semi-posed shots (what we wanted) that were absolutely stunning.

3. Professionalism
In addition to our wedding coordinator, Sean was our rock on our wedding day. He helped us stay on schedule, found our best angles, kept me sane... Also, after the wedding, Sean gets you your photos as fast as he can. We got ours on DVD approximately 2 weeks later. Almost all the other photographers I interviewed had lead times in months, not weeks.

I HIGHLY recommend Sean. He gets busy in the summer to early autumn, so contact him well in advance. You will not be disappointed!!

We were lucky enough to stumble upon Sean's amazing photography when we viewed the wedding photos of dear friends of ours. Their photos were so beautiful and it was clear that they had an incredibly talented photographer. After seeing their photos, we never had any question about which photographer we would use. Because we were planning our Southern California wedding from Seattle, WA, we needed our vendors to be flexible and work with us even though we were so far away. Sean communicated with us frequently and our wedding photography truly went off without a hitch. What's more - our photos, the most important element to us in our whole wedding, are amazing. I would highly recommend Sean to every couple that for any occasion. You will not be disappointed!

Sean was great from start to finish. We booked him a year in advance. We accidentally overslept for our pre-wedding meeting and he was able to be flexible and shift things in his schedule to make sure we had our meeting. Day of wedding he was great. He arrived on time and began shooting right away. His assistant was also great. So far from the sneak peaks he sent us on facebook, the quality of his work is high! We look forward to getting our disk next week and we know if our album reflects the albums in his studio, then we will be extremely satisfied.

Sean took the photos for my wedding and we were very happy with the results. You won't notice he's even there at the ceremony/reception and he's willing to go along with whatever schedule/timeline you have for the day. I didn't have the traditional photography time available, but we managed to get great shots in the short time we did have. I also love the fact that he gives your photos in high-resolution format on a DVD. For anyone looking to have GREAT photos and don't want to break the bank, Sean is the photographer for you.

Sean is truly an amazing photographer. He is very talanted and he has a great personality. Our wedding pictures turned out to be stunning! Every shot was done in a creative way. And his turn around time for post production work was very reasonable. And we enjoyed working with Sean. He was fun, hard working and professional. We were very happy with the work he's done for us!
