Undoubtably our best vendor
Don is amazing. I cannot get over how awesome he and his team was. We hired Don immediately after meeting with him in 2019/2020, and he was the one vendor we wanted to ensure we kept when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID-19. We legitimately put a soft hold on a new date for our wedding solely contingent upon Don being available because he is that good. We loved him. He's not only the kindest soul, but he's an absolute expert at his craft. My husband and I could not be happier that we chose him as our photographer. His team is just as wonderful, and they all made us feel so comfortable and happy. We had the best day, and the sneak peeks we've received thus far have blown us away. We love the vision (it's why we hired him!). Don Hwang and his team are absolutely the best vendor we hired and we could not be more grateful for the amazing work that they do. -

Grateful B. Sent on 05/28/2022Absolutely amazing photographer & cinematographer team!
Don is simply incredible! We were referred to him by a close friend photographer, who had heard wonderful things about Don's professionalism, kindness, and artistic ability. From the very first virtual meeting, he was so humble, kind, and professional. It was so seamless to work with him.
Not enough good things can be said about Don and his professionalism, expertise, warm demeanor, and kindness that just shines on the day of a wedding. He truly is one of the people that keeps the day running and on time. He is so experienced in how long different shots will take. He is so respectful of special moments between a couple, and family members. He is also so good with families and of individuals of all different ages and cultural backgrounds. Don was incredibly respectful of the elderly and grandparents and aware of their physical needs. And also connected with young children and was able to get their attention in a playful and skilled way. Even shy family members felt so at ease with him.
Don is a true artist and his photographs are stunning. He takes meticulous care to edit photos so that images are framed perfectly and colors are vibrant. The colors are vibrant and not washed out. The photos are ones that you want to print, frame, and display in your home. Don works with photographers and cinematographers that are artists like him. The wedding video him and his team put together is truly so special, and captures exactly what we had dreamed and more.
We can't thank him enough for capturing in the most stunning ways one of the most special days of our life. He is amazing and we recommend him most strongly! -

Don is an amazing and professional photographer. He definitely knows what he's doing. He also has such a calming voice that you can't help but be calm. We were lucky enough to see the work he did for my MOH's wedding and we are so excited to see our photos. Pretty sure everyone in the family loves Don. -

The absolute BEST photographer you could choose!
Don is amazing! We found him at a bridal showcase, right when I had just given up on the idea of finding a high-quality photographer at a reasonable price. Don met with us on that day, followed up, met with us again in person to showcase his previous work and answer any questions we may have. He was very thorough and took great care to make sure he did the best possible job for us. He pays attention to the small details and goes above and beyond! My husband and I were nervous we would feel a little awkward in front of the camera, but Don put us at ease and captured some wonderful engagement photos. As soon as we got the preview back (so quickly!), I knew I had made the best decision choosing Don.
We ended up having to change our wedding plans due to COVID-19 and decided to have a smaller and casual ceremony than initially planned. Don was so accommodating and helpful. He was able to photograph the day and capture all of our special moments. I can't believe he was able to take so many amazing photos in the span of a few hours. Everyone that we share the photos with comment on the amazing and artistic job he did. I hope we are still able to have our larger reception later on so he can capture that day as well!
I can't say enough wonderful things about Don - his photography is truly breathtaking and his prices are so reasonable! I couldn't believe the quality that he offers and I am still so, so grateful I went to that bridal showcase and found him!
If you are still looking for a photographer - look no further. I will be recommending Don to anyone and everyone I encounter in the future! -

We met Don at a bridal showcase in Long Island. I had already hired a very young duo to do my wedding photography, but Don’s work caught my eye and I knew I needed him and his seasoned expertise on the big day. Don was open-minded to teaming up with the other photographers and ended up being the lead shooter for my wedding — a decision we’re so glad we made. Don was extremely organized and efficient. He ensured all of my priorities were met and did so despite a rushed/stressful scenario since I was running behind schedule that day. Don’s attention to detail was second to none, and I swear he remembered every conversation we’d had in the year leading up to the wedding and made sure to help remind us of pointers we’d asked for help with, like posture. My wedding was just 2 weeks ago so I can’t comment yet on the photos, but I wanted to review his exceptional service while it’s fresh in mind. He was a dream to work with: funny, caring, flexible, professional and willing to go out of his way to get the best shots for us. It was a pleasure seeing him on our wedding day, felt like a friend. We plan to use him again for future life events. THANK YOU! -

Meaghan Sent on 10/07/2020MUST hire wedding photographer! Completed our perfect day!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I first learned about Don's impeccable work from a friend who had hired Don for her wedding photography. Looking at her wedding photos - I knew that I wanted to look more into booking Don for my upcoming wedding.
Fast forward to looking up Don's website - I love how transparent it is! His pricing is very transparent and reasonable especially given the high quality of work he produces. Transparency in pricing is not something I have found looking at other vendors, so working with Don was really a breath of fresh air.
Initially, pre-COVID we were planning to have a large wedding and a couple months before we changed to a small backyard ceremony. Don was very flexible in accommodating our venue change.
Day of - he was also an ABSOLUTE DREAM to work with! My husband and I are not the most comfortable pair on camera, but Don made us feel so relaxed. He captured beautiful moments of our special day of both us and our family. That was exactly what I wanted for our wedding photography, not a bunch of stock photos. All of Don's photos of our special day are just beautiful to look at. He also is very efficient because he captures soooo many pictures so quickly and he really helped the day run so smoothly! I am so excited that he will also be photographing our large ceremony next year.
I cannot recommend Don highly enough! We also booked Amber, videographer, with him for our wedding and they worked seamlessly together. If you are unsure, check out his blog for more of his work. I really also recommend to just reach out and schedule a phone call with Don and you will know what all the other reviewers are talking about and you can just sense his warmth over the phone. He brings that warmth into his beautiful artistic photography! He is a must hire! -

Alexandra Sent on 03/08/2020We Love Don!
From the moment I met Don, I had a feeling he would be our photographer. I met him first at a bridal showcase and requested a quote before I had my then fiancé meet him. His pricing is great for the quality of photography he produces – which is beautiful work. We then met at a Starbucks to go over the contract and introduce him to my fiancé. Don brought samples of his wedding albums to our meeting and WOW – these photos looked like literal paintings. My fiancé was really impressed at the quality and look of his work. To us, the pictures looked like art.
Fast forward to our engagement shoot which was outside in NYC on a freezing February day. Don spent over 3 hours with us walking around to different locations and making us laugh and feel comfortable in front of the camera – event though our fingers were numb haha. He works so fast too because I think it was probably less than a month later we got all of our edited engagement photos back.
In the days leading up to our wedding Don and I spoke frequently about our timeline and photos I wanted him to capture. On the day of our wedding it was so good to see Don. It was like he was a close friend. He really cared about our special day and made sure to get candid photos to really capture the feelings of friends and family. My now husband and I speak about how beautiful our photos came out frequently and so do our friends and family. We are so happy we chose Don and will definitely be using him for future events!!

Incredible photographer
We booked Don for both our micro wedding and recent (bigger) wedding celebration this past July. We met Don at a bridal expo and we were drawn to his incredible work but also calm demeanor. Every couple that has been to a bridal show knows how overwhelming these expos can be with so many people try to get your attention. Don's work spoke for itself and he was by far was the greatest decision we made when booking our wedding vendors.
First, Don was extremely flexible with us when we had to postpone our wedding a few times. He was great at adjusting to any changes that we had to make, whether it was budget, timing, location, etc. He really took the time to meet and speak with us about our needs and expectations. His prep sheets were extremely details so we knew that he had all of the bases covered so we don't have to worry about anything on the day of our wedding.
Our wedding party also raved about Don. His genuinely kind and calm energy put us at ease. He knew how to get the attention of our very large wedding party and get them in line especially when we only had a limited amount of time to take photos after the ceremony. His directions to us and our wedding party were clear and easy to follow. His photos didn't feel staged and everything felt natural. He also made sure to capture the little moments that I didn't event think about, like taking a photo at the hotel where my husband and I met.
Finally, his photos are INCREDIBLE! I wanted our entire wedding to have a romantic feel and he really captured that. He captured our favorite moments but also took a few candid moments that reflected how special that day was for my husband and I. We only have our sneak peak photos right now and I'm already in love with them.
Don was so great that another person from our wedding party booked him for her wedding! I'm an event planner and he truly is one of the best vendors I have ever worked with. Can't wait to book him for future events and family engagements! -
