    Truly magical!

    It was a wonderful experience having Judy and Gavin as both our engagement and wedding photographers! Judy and Gavin were incredibly fun to work with and highly professional. They spent a lot of time ensuring we had the perfect shots, and the results were absolutely beautiful. We were blown away by how they turned simple elements like a flower or a fence into incredible moments.

    On the day of the wedding, we felt so taken care of and so at ease. Judy and Gavin arrived promptly, expertly directed shots and ensured everything ran smoothly. They made great suggestions and were very receptive of our ideas. Judy’s bilingual skills in Vietnamese and English were also a plus; it was really helpful for communicating with our Vietnamese elders.

    We really couldn't be happier choosing Judy and Gavin as our photographers. We had such an amazing wedding, and to have those special moments captured so beautifully and candidly truly made a difference for us. And for the quality of work and level of service they delivered, their pricing was very reasonable!

    We would choose Judy and Gavin again and again! Would highly recommend!

    BEST wedding photographer to work with!

    Best wedding photographer I ever could have hired! You will not regret booking them! After 8 months of being married, I still regularly look through our engagement and wedding photos because they're so breathtaking and magical. I kind of want to frame all of them, all around my home... is that a good decor choice? Maybe a wallpaper from them all?

    We hired Judy for our wedding in November 2022. There seemed to be so many different wedding photographers, but when I saw a college friend's wedding album from J+G's work, what stood out to me was the way the photos were so beautifully lit (in both day and nighttime). I liked that the website had straightforward pricing, so that couples can tell whether their budget aligns before spending time reaching out or having a meeting. I had a few Zoom meetings with wedding photographers, and Judy's warm, approachable and candid demeanor made it immediately feel like I was chatting with an old friend, not a wedding vendor. My now-husband liked their work the best, and we decided to book them.

    Unfortunately, Gavin wasn't available for our actual wedding, but we did get them both for our engagement shoot. We decided we wanted to visit Vasquez Rocks at dusk with their astrophotography skills, and although they'd never photographed at that location, they were totally game. The family even took a trip out in advance of our shoot to scout the best locations, parking, timing, and all other details so that we could spend our day shooting as much as possible. Judy helped me withy outfit selection in advance, too. Judy and Gavin are an incredible team together, and my only regret was not booking them earlier. One of Gavin's specialties is astrophotography, and he handled the technical aspects of setting up lighting in order to get incredible photos with starry skies. We are not models and didn't really know what to do for professional shoots, but Judy's direction in posing, looking at each other, etc drew out emotions that photographed us looking so natural, relaxed, and in love. The results were STUNNING AF and I can't get over how beautiful all of the images are.

    At the wedding, Judy had helped me put together a timeline for the day, gave me advice and ideas, and brought along a second shooter, who was also extremely nice. She remembered everything I had asked for in advance (and 100% would have forgotten about on my own with all of the wedding craziness), like photos in our cigar lounge and nighttime photos with our candlelit aisle. They directed our wedding party in such fun poses, and made sure that we got individual photos with each one of our wedding party members that captured our personalities and friendships. You can truly see and feel the love in all of the photographs.

    One other thing we really wanted was photos with all of our different extended families during cocktail hour and photos with each table before dinner, and our photographers were amazing at organizing and directing so many different crazy friends and family members (some who were overserved and didn't take direction well) to get through the photos quickly.

    I honestly couldn't be happier with my wedding and engagement photos and am beyond grateful for Judy and Gavin for these cherished memories of such a special day.

    Couldn't ask for better

    We hired Judy and Gavin for a photo and video package for our wedding (which included an engagement photo session), and the service and quality of photos were worth every penny!

    My husband and I fell in love with a remote part of Sequoia National Park and wanted our engagement photos done there. There was an extra travel fee but it was very reasonable. Gavin did our engagement shoot and we had a blast. It was quite an adventure between windy dirt roads, bears and other wildlife but we were so impressed at how willing he was to do what it took to make our photos perfect! I have always been awkward in photos, but Gavin gave us just enough direction and kept us laughing and comfortable, and I'm amazed at how well the photos came out!

    We got to work with both Judy and Gavin on our wedding day, with Judy taking the lead on the photos. She was very focused and professional, despite some of the wedding party showing up late for pre-ceremony photos due to a miscommunication (on my end) about the schedule. Judy was able to adjust and captured everything we wanted, and the photos came out amazing. Judy and Gavin both have an incredible eye and captured so many of our meaningful moments, and I will treasure these images for years to come. Thank you Judy and Gavin!

    Extraordinarily Beautiful, Creative Photography

    As mother of the bride, my advice is once you have a wedding date and venue, immediately find your photographer next, since besides the marriage itself, photos are the only other thing from that day that endures. My daughter and her fiancé were impressed with Judy and Gavin’s portfolio, then during their initial consultation fell in love with them as people. We were all stunned by the engagement photos Gavin took in Malibu, the way he captured their personalities and wove them into photographic artistry. Both Judy and Gavin photographed the actual wedding day at Quail Ranch in Simi Valley, and within 24 hours sent more than a dozen “teaser” photos to us that were spectacular. They are so easy and fun to work with and their photos are beautiful and creative. For a sure thing, definitely contact Judy and Gavin and hope that they aren’t already booked for your wedding date!

    Judy and Gavin are awesome! We booked them for our July 2016 wedding after initially booking a different photographer for our big day. After we had our engagement session with the different photographer, we realized the quality of the photos and the professionalism of the photographers did not meet our expectations for what we wanted on our big day. Judy and Gavin did photo/video at my brother-in-law's wedding the year before ours. Since my husband and I were in the bridal party at that wedding, we were able to see Judy and Gavin and their team in action on their wedding day. The difference was night and day. Judy and Gavin are super personable and professional and made this aspect of wedding planning very low stress. They were able to redo our engagement session on relative short notice - this was around the time when Judy was about 8 months pregnant and wasn't working extensively in preparation for their baby, yet she still insisted on joining us through UCLA and Downtown LA to make sure everything turned out perfectly (which it did!). At the engagement session we realized how professionals work - efficiently and creatively, while making us feel comfortable. Back then we already knew we made the right choice to switch over. However, on our wedding day they solidified that feeling. Weddings are very stressful but they made sure everything on our wedding day went smoothly. We had a large bridal party of 22 people and my husband and I both have large families, but Judy was able to help plan the day's timeline and most importantly she was very vocal in executing it. They were personable with our wedding party and made sure to direct people as needed. We were able to get all of the footage we wanted and it all turned out great!

    They are the best!

    I wanted to find a photographer and videographer that has worked at Padua before. I wanted them to know the ins and outs of the venue and the best areas to shoot. I found Judy and Gavin on the venue’s Instagram and wanted to hire them right away. Judy was so nice and accommodating. They even met in Nevada for our second meeting! During our first call we chatted about work but also a bit about ourselves. I felt like I was chatting with an old friend. I love how prepared they were with everything and made our engagement shoot and wedding so fun and easy. I love all my photos and video. They looked to magical like a fairy tale. It was exactly what I wanted. There is so much positive things to say about Judy, Gavin, and their entire team. I am so glad I got to work with them and hope to have them capture more special moments I’ll have in the future.

    Best Photographer!

    I have seen Judy and Gavin's work for many years. They have the most creative, fun, artistic ways of capturing photos. I knew when I have a wedding someday, I would want them to be my photographer.

    We contacted Judy and Gavin and got a response immediately. They were very easy to contact through phone, email, text messages, and were very accomodating of our schedules when it came to scheduling a meet-up and for the engagement shoot. When we met with them, they were very clear with what they offered. We went with their photos package for two photographers.

    During our wedding and the engagement shoot, Judy and Gavin were wonderful at handling the timeline of events, the order of photos with families and friends transitioned smoothly and efficiently, they were quick to suggest areas with best lighting and locations for photo opportunities, and they made the process very easy for us by directioning us ways to pose.

    They are very quick at providing teasers photos on the same day! My husband and I were impressed!! We were able to access the photos on their website, download them, and share them with friends and families. Within a couple weeks, we received all of our photos.

    I had a phenomenal experience working with Judy and Gavin. They made it very fun and easy for us. All of the photos came out excellent! They have exceeded all of our expectations and really took care of us. I felt I was in trusted hands the entire time. I highly recommend them to all of my friends and family. We will cherish all these photos throughtout our lifetime! We can not thank you enough!

    UPDATE: it's been a month since our wedding and we already got our pictures and our DVD is on the way!!! the pictures are beautiful, all more than 800 of them!!! I don't know of any other photographers that work THIS fast and efficient! WORK WITH THEM, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

    Judy and Gavin were the BEST decision we made for our wedding! We were so lucky to have found them. From the very first moment Judy and I chatted on the phone, I just knew that they were going to be our photographer/videographer! We clicked and talked for more than an hour like old friends. Due to our busy schedule, Judy and Gavin accommodated us and drove all the way down to SD for our engagement photo session, which turned out amazing! Our friends and family could not stop complimenting on how beautiful the pictures turned out and how good they made me look :)

    Our wedding was multi-cultural and up to the very last minutes, there were changes (not from my end but from the parental end) that would make me cry if it was not for Judy who talked me through the stress and helped come up with a timeline that would allow all of our traditions (my hubby is Indian and I'm vietnamese) to be carried out while allowing plenty of time of our pictures.

    The day of was as smooth as one can imagine. Since the groomsmen and my then-fiance were getting ready at a different hotel while I and the girls were getting ready at my mom's house, Gavin and Judy split their times and were able to take pictures of all of us in the prep stage. they worked soooo hard throughout the day to make sure that every important moment was captured yet they were not invasive. Judy, Gavin and Judy's brother, Steven, were like ninjas. Our ceremony was at a Catholic church and the church was very strict on photography. Yet, without us knowing, they were able to take many beautiful pictures without being in our faces or bothering the priest.
    They stayed late into the night for even more pictures. It must have been a 12-hour day for all three and there was always a smile on everyone's faces.
    The way Judy and Gavin worked on our wedding day really shows us how much they love what they do, how much they love sharing their clients' most special day, how well they do their job and how professional they truly are (there was absolutely no drinking on their part during the entire time!).

    On top of all that, they were definitely reasonably priced! Trust me, i did plenty of research, met with quite a few photog/videographers before I met them. they will go that extra mile for you to make sure your day goes as smoothly as possible and your pictures are as precious and unique as you and your future hubby are :)

    The best of the best

    Judy + Gavin did a wonderful job on our wedding photos and video. I would like to present my review in three parts: before (the wedding), during, and after.

    Before: During our initial consultation, it became clear to us that Gavin was truly passionate about his craft. He took time to ask us questions about ourselves and our preferences. Importantly, we were able to tell from that first video call that Gavin's chill, but excitable personality would help set us at ease on the big day.

    During: The whole team was great on the day of. Even when things got somewhat stressful during family portraits, Gavin and team powered through and remained calm, cool, and collected. As we predicted, they were just the kind of people we wanted to have around us the entire day.

    After: Gavin and Judy delivered an exceptional product to us via the pictures and the video. Even more important than capturing the beautiful moments from our wedding, they truly captured the spirit of our wedding and we relive the joy of the day all over again every time we look and pictures and watch the video. We've gotten so many compliments from friends and family.

    We can't recommend Judy + Gavin even more highly.

    Judy and Gavin are absolutely incredible!! We had come across a few of their photos on Pinterest and noticed the JG watermark on the photos which helped us find out who these incredible photographers were. Their photos are very unique and play off light which makes them stand out. We had emailed them and they got back to us immediately. Not only were they extremely responsive, they were very patient and kind as well. My soon to be husband is a firefighter who works days at a time. It just so happened that during the time of our inquiry with JG Photography he was picking up a lot of over time so it took a while for us to get back to them. They were extremely patient and pleasant to work with even before we had booked them!

    A few of the photos I had come across from them I had informed them I was hoping to get done for our shoot, they were extremely honest and let us know that unfortunately some of the locations were on private property and they could not guarantee the photos would be possible. They let us know that we would definitely try to get them but wanted to let us know it may not be possible, I very much appreciated it and still loved their work and were lucky enough to have them do our engagement photos (we ended up getting the photos as well!). The day we booked our photos, it was going to rain, Judy and Gavin were very flexible with us and let us decided whether or not we wanted to shoot in the rain or reschedule but they advised it would be better to reschedule due to it creating colder conditions that may make us look uncomfortable in the photos. (we took their advice and rescheduled and couldn't be happier - it was a gorgeous day without rain)

    Judy and Gavin were extremely friendly, professional, fun, and polite. They take their time and wait for the perfect shot, and when I say perfect, I do mean perfect! They captured all our wants and more! Thank you both very much! So long as their up for it, we will definitely be using them in the future! :)

    We were lucky enough to have the amazingly talented team of Judy & Gavin do our engagement photos, our wedding photos & wedding video! We chose them because they are relaxed but hard working. The quality of their work shows in their photos & video footage. I really liked that they do not pressure you to purchase photos or extras in their photo packages. They are so fun to work with & we are so happy with our photos that we can't stop looking at them. Every time I go through our wedding photos I find new captured moments. Our friends tell us that our engagement photos are some of the best they have seen! They make you feel so comfortable during photos that our engagement session felt like a fun date night for us versus a serious photo session! I feel like they captured our personalities perfectly. Our wedding photos are truly a photo documentary of the evening & we will cherish the memories captured for our entire lifetime! Our wedding video captured our highlight moments of the day & we were so impressed with the song choices that we have watched it numerous times! I'm so glad we chose the video option because we can share it with friends & family to relive the special day. I'm hoping we find excuses to use them in the future!

    And the absolutely best professional photography team goes to Judy and Gavin photography!! 10 stars!!

    Words are not enough to express our gratitude to this amazing couple. They worked with us with patiently. My husband and I are very relieved to have them photograph our wedding. We had the honor of taking photos at our Cambodian Ceremony and Traditional Wedding the following day.

    We hired Gavin + his assistant as part of our wedding package. Judy was amazing at promptly replying to our email and answered any questions we had thoroughly.

    Our Cambodian Ceremony was at parents house and our beautiful wedding, 12/2016, was at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts. Both of which Gavin arrived on-time ready to take photos. He engaged with us very well. Even after the events were over, many that attended had mentioned how much they enjoy getting their photos taken from Gavin!

    My husband and I knew we made the best decision ever. He knew how to capture candids, intimate moments, and most importantly memorable shots. Shots that I didn't know if he got that were important, he was able to pull off more than what we even expected.

    Gavin sent us the photos at good timing, too. The photos truly made us feel like we were happily there again. We can't stop looking at our brilliant and creative photos. The quality of our photos turned out breathtaking. You can tell that Gavin has long years of experience and it shows his talented skill.

    They were very professional and organized! After having them be a part of our wedding, my husband and I will definitely keep them in mind for referrals and future events!

    Thank you Judy and Gavin!! These photos will be in our lives forever and we can't wait to proudly share our wedding story with these beautiful photos to our loved ones.

    If you are a bride/groom looking for a photographer, don't look anywhere else. After interviewing with many other photographers, go with your gut. They were always our #1 choice.

    Judy and Gavin were nothing short of AMAZING! They helped us find the best locations and the best shots, poses, and lighting in all environments. They were very accomodating and easy to work with... it was just like hanging out with long time buddies from the start. The music video they made of the wedding is the most spectacular way to remember our wedding forever.

    Judy and Gavin will go to great lengths to capture the perfect picture. Weather from lying down on the floor, kneeling down on both knees, Judy and Gavin will do just about anything to get the perfect angle. Their photography and editing skills are outstanding. After our engagement shoot, my husband and I were confident they would do a great job during the day of the wedding. We were actually surprised how good the pictures came through. There is no doubt in our minds that Judy and Gavin will provide amazing quality shots. They will make anything, any scene, and any prop look amazing.

    Judy and Gavin captured our wedding day more perfectly than we ever could have imagined. Having to select a photographer across state lines, the only thing we could rely on in making our decision was their website, our conversations over the phone, and their professionalism and responsiveness. I am happy to say that Judy and Gavin Photography more than exceeded our expectations. They are incredibly talented, accommodating, professional, helpful, responsive, friendly, and funny. Once we met them in person, they quickly confirmed we made the right choice in selecting them to be our wedding photographers. They are so easy to work with and made us both feel very comfortable throughout the entire day! In fact, we actually had FUN taking our pictures!

    We requested photos in Santa Monica and also Downtown Los Angeles. Not only did they happily oblige our request, but they are very familiar with both areas and knew all of the perfect spots for amazing photos. They have such a great eye for beautiful shots! We love that our photos do not look staged, fake, or cliché. They photographed such lovely images that truly capture the beauty of our surroundings and the excitement and romance of our wedding day. Both Judy and Gavin are completely dedicated to getting the perfect picture – even lying down on the dirty streets of L.A. and wading into the ocean and fountain to get the right angle and shot!

    We are elated with the photos and everyone that has seen our pictures tell us how beautiful they are and what amazing photographers we had! We concur!

    Judy and Gavin’s kindness, patience, professionalism, skill, and artistic eye are all deeply appreciated as the photo memories of our wedding day will be treasured forever. Thank you SO much Judy and Gavin for doing such wonderful things with our cherished day and for creating such great photographic memories! We appreciate you!

    We have had the absolute pleasure and honour of having Judy and Gavin shoot both our engagement and wedding photos. Their enthusiasm coupled with their expertise made them an obvious choice for us. Our photos are flawless and they captured us exactly as a couple. We love every photo of us! Thank you for capturing some great memories of us!

    These two wonderful human beings were our photographers for our wedding last August. My husband and I found them here online and fell in LOVE with their photos. We met them and knew that they were the perfect fit. They are laid back (but can crack the whip if needed), HILARIOUS, generous, and obviously extremely talented. In their presence I always felt beautiful, encouraged and truly like their friend. For a bride that is stressed about all the little things that a wedding brings, it was so amazing to have two awesome people around.

    During our wedding these two became apart of the family, and still to this day (almost a year later), every one of my family members asks how they are doing and/or still compliment our photos (my mom says hi J+G). Our pictures turned out phenomenal. I wish I could continue to rave about them and their amazingly perfect photos, but just know that if you choose them as your photographers not only will you walk away with two more friends, you will have thousands of clips and moments from your big day that are literally priceless.

    I can not say enough great things about the Judy and Gavin team. Even our guests commented on how well organized they are. We booked them at the beginning of our engagement and because it was such a long engagement, they ended up shooting two of our friends wedding before they got to shoot ours. In all instances our friends gave raving reviews for Judy and Gavin, we were already sure that they would be great but hearing and seeing them in action made us feel even better about our choice. We interviewed a few photographers before them, but once we met them, we knew they were it and didn't bother to speak with anyone else. The biggest thing for us was seeing how well we clicked with our photographers and we knew right from the beginning they are very down to earth and their work speaks for themselves.

    They make you feel very comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. They are very easy to get along with and fun to work with. Not only are they great to work with, they come equipped with all the proper gear to deal with any lighting situation as well as backup equipment.

    One thing I noticed from about them is when looking back at the pictures, they capture all the moments of the wedding however you never notice a lens in your face. It is amazing how they are always at the right place and right time, but are never up in your face so you can enjoy the moment.

    People said when you plan a wedding, you have to prioritize and see which of the wedding component is most important to you; for me, photography is on the top of the list. Naturally, we searched and interviewed many photographers for our wedding. We came across Judy and Gavin photographer through our friend and the rest is history.

    When we first met them for the initial consultation, we clicked right away. We clicked because both them and us love food. As people said, food what binds people most of the time. We also clicked because their photography style is exactly what we look for.... We love the way the pictures came out vibrantly, colorful and clear.

    Prior the wedding, we did an engagement picture with them as well to familiarized each other style and we had fun. Judy and Gavin are one awesome photographers. When you first saw Judy, you will see a sweet lady but, during the action you really don't want to mess with her as she is a ball of fire (and you want her to be that way... Don't you know how crazy a wedding can be?) and Gavin is laid back one who will joke and calm your nerves down.

    A couple weeks ago, Judy delivered the pictures of the wedding and all of them were amazing and we can't asked for better results. We also booked Gavin for the videography portion of it and we can't be any happier with it.

    Thank you Judy and Gavin!

    Out of all the vendors we used for our wedding, we will that Judy and Gavin Photography was the best money spent for the event! Me and my wife loved all the pictures that they took of us for the wedding. Both of them help us be very comfortable in front of the cameras for the group shots and just let us be in our moments for the wedding.

    Thank you for all the wonderful pictures from the wedding!

    Judy Tran is truly an amazing photographer. My husband and I met her and fell in love with her work when she did my sister's wedding in September of 2011. When we got engaged I still browsed trying to find someone better... but it's impossible! We ended up booking Judy to do our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Not only are her and husband Gavin amazing artists.... they truly become your friends. They make you feel so comfortable and at ease which makes for even better pictures.
    Judy is such a doll and will do whatever to take to make her clients happy... it happened to rain on my wedding day, but she had no problem taking her equipment (which should not get wet) out into the rain for an extra couple of hours to get the pictures my husband and I wanted!!! Herself and her brother (assistant photographer at the wedding) were completely drenched and freezing but they captured amazing photos from the couple of sneak peaks we have seen so far.
    I would truly recommend her to anyone who wants a professional photographer who is easy to work with, will go above and beyond to make her clients happy, and that truly captures the happiness of your most important days. I can honestly not find one negative thing to say about Judy, Gavin, or her brother. They are outstanding!!!

    OK, first of all, their website speaks for itself. The photos that Judy and Gavin take are completely and utterly breathtaking. From the moment I stubbled upon it, I knew they were the ones! They were super easy to get in contact with and quick to answer emails, texts, and phone calls throughout our entire wedding process. They were flexible with dates and times for our engagement session (which I highly recommend doing) and super friendly and informative with location suggestions, etc. We met them for coffee before we hired them to get a feel for their personalities, to see their portfolio, and to go over pricing. I really like how they have pricing on their site so that you go into the meeting with no surprises. Hiring Judy and Gavin was one of the best wedding decisions we made! We had a very small wedding, and they were able to capture the love and joy we experienced that day so that we are not only able to cherish the memories, but also share the photos and the MOST AMAZING video with everyone who was not there. I haven't printed any of the photos yet, but I cannot wait to hang them on our walls. Oh, and my husband thinks I'm crazy because I have literally watched our wedding video 300 times...and we just got it a few days ago! Thank you Judy and Gavin for bringing your fun personalities and stellar expertise to our wedding. Your work is magical and we couldn't have asked for a better duo than the two of you. Thanks again, Kristal and Dan
