We were so blessed to have Joey Ikemoto Photography shoot our wedding. After looking through his portfolio, I loved his sense of style and design. Sam and his partner were so professional and fun to shoot with despite both of us being camera shy. We just got a look at our preview photos, and they are amazing. It's comforting to know that when we look through these photos, we can relive every amazing moment!!! -

We have nothing but praise for Joey Ikemoto Photography. They made the wedding schedule planning and coordination very easy as the studio was easy to reach whenever we had questions. On our wedding day, Kevin and Jonathan captured our wedding so beautifully! They were professional, attentive, flexible, creative, efficient, and an absolute joy to work with. They helped organize and position everyone nicely for the group shots and helped us coordinate wonderful couple photos, all while keeping us on time. We love the results and definitely recommend this studio for other couples to be! -

We hired Joey to shoot our wedding and it was the best decision we could have made! Joey personally shot our wedding in July 2024 with his son Jonathan. Both of them are very professional and knew the perfect places to get great shots!
We got our photo gallery a month after our wedding date with over 3,000 pictures!! -

Joey is attentive and very professional. He made us feel very comfortable the first day we met. He is quick to judge what needs to be done based on the situation. The staff that Joey works with are also friendly and professional, and it was great to see how hard they all worked. Joey's professionalism and bright energy kept us going. Needless to say, the photos turned out great - we were blessed with great weather on our wedding day and we love how clear and bright they turned out. We have no regrets in choosing Joey as our photographer, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. -

Joey and team are the best in class for wedding photography! They provided excellent customer service and delivered the highest quality artistic products. Joey was extremely professional and knowledgable and highly organized in helping us prepare for capturing all our desired photos of our wedding day. We worked together on a detailed timeline and he executed against our list and made sure all artistic wedding shots were completed. Joey is a real pro and we choose him for his reputation of working with our venues and knowing of their standards, requirements and schedules which really kept us on track. His team was able to turnaround a preview of photos within 2 weeks and we were very pleased with viewing the starters! I highly recommend him for his wedding work especially if you are having a wedding at Wayfarer's Chapel. Thank you Joey and Kevin and team for helping us collect memories of our wedding day! -

Sarah Sent on 05/09/2023Amazing Photography Team
Joey and his team were absolutely amazing! They were punctual, funny, and hard-working. Before the day of the event, Joey and his team were quick to respond and flexible. On the actual day, Joey got everyone laughing with his sense of humor and was prepared with bubbles for the young ones. The pictures also turned out spectacular with many beautiful and creative shots of the wedding ceremony and reception and the team definitely put some elbow grease into getting those shots as they helped hold down and readjust our wedding dress in the wind for the best photos and went above and beyond with their photography equipment. Definitely recommend! Couldn’t have asked for a better vendor! -

Cathy Sent on 04/29/2023Best photographer - Joey Ikomoto
Joey Ikemoto and his team were amazing. He had great suggestions and ideas and was really helpful as we finalized our plans. He knew the best places to take pictures and got the best from everyone. My daughter's wedding was at Wayfarer's Chapel and the pictures were stunning - both the posed and the more candid. So glad we chose him as our photographer. -

John Sent on 03/06/2023Unbelievable 5 star service!
Absolutely 5 star service and personality to match!
We didn't have a wedding planner and were coming from out of town so we had to rely on the expertise of Joey and his assistant. We were married at the Wayfarers Chapel and before the wedding we already knew we had nothing to worry about as he knew exactly what the time constraints would be and exactly where we needed to go. He made sure we got pictures of everyone we wanted and brought us to some beautiful places at the perfect times to make our wedding so memorable.
Joey was fun and made us laugh and smile the entire time along with all of our guests at the reception and our photos were absolutely gorgeous!
Choosing Joey was the best decision we could have made and we have zero regrets, and countless fond memories to cherish. -

Nima Sent on 01/16/2023One of the best decisions we have ever made!
We had a wonderful experience working with Joey and the team. By looking at their portfolio, we knew that we wanted them to be there on our special day so badly! And we are glad that they had availability. Jonathan came out on our wedding day and did a magnificent job! We also had Joey for our engagement session. They are professional, on-time, easy to work with, and fun! We are hoping to continue working with Joey in the future! -

We decided to run with Joey for our wedding photographer and he did not disappoint! After reviewing his photo gallery beforehand, it was clear he had the technical skills to take great photos. During the photoshoots, he was decisive in our shots and provided excellent direction/feedback when needed. He was a consummate professional through and through and it shined especially with his sense of time management. Joey is detail oriented so I expected us to be on time with the photoshoot schedule, which was at several different locations prior to the ceremony. What I didn’t expect was that we would be ahead of schedule! Watching Joey operate during crunch time was impressive. He had a clear vision for each shot/location and executed without hesitation, all while dealing with challenging lightning conditions at times. We appreciated arriving to the ceremony venue earlier than expected so we could take a beat to re-group. Another significant aspect we noticed was his overall presence. Joey was just a joy to be around. He was incredibly friendly and personable which resonated with many in our wedding members and guests. Ultimately, he allowed us to feel comfortable in the space which undoubtedly contributed to a better photo for everyone. Overall, we had an incredible time with Joey and we think he enjoyed our company as well. We highly recommend Joey for your photography needs. We had very memorable experience with him and couldn’t imagine hiring anyone else for our wedding day. -

Tiara Sent on 12/02/2022A Wonderful Experience!
Joey was phenomenal! Our photos came out amazing, and he made all of our guests and bridal party feel welcome. He's so organized and easy-going, and he gave clear directions for the posing, which was helpful. I loved that he wrote up a timeline for us so we always knew where we were supposed to be and when. We actually ended up 15 mins ahead of schedule by the time we arrived for our wedding thanks to his planning, and my wedding planner was so impressed! I'd absolutely recommend him if you're considering a photographer. Also, his assistant was nice too, very friendly and considerate. Five stars all around! -

I found out about Joey through my venue. My husband and I met with several photographers and Joey was the one that we felt the most comfortable with. My husband does not like taking pictures! Joey got him to smile and relax during our engagement pictures. When our wedding came around my husband felt comfortable being around him and the camera. He was professional and fun! He did an amazing job with my little nephews and our flower girl. He engaged with all of our guests and made them feel comfortable in front of the camera. My guests are still talking about Joey and our beautiful pictures. Tracy was super helpful throughout the process and was easy to communicate with. I highly recommend booking him and his team! -

Joey did a wonderful job at our wedding. He kept the mood light so we felt relaxed on our big day and did a great job at interacting with us and our guests. The photographs turned out amazing and some look like they are from a fairy tale. He has a great understanding of what looks good for a photograph. We would absolutely recommend! -

Natasha Sent on 01/07/2022Joey Ikemoto Photography is absolutely the Best!
Natasha and I wanted the best photographer for our wedding. We did a lot of research, read tons of reviews online, visited several studios in the area, but when we spoke to Joey Ikemoto and saw his work at his office we didn't have any doubt! Joey Ikemoto Photography is absolutely the best in the business! We were very impressed by their organization, professionalism, experience, attention to details, and way of working. We had so many questions, but Joey and his assistants made the wedding run so smoothly, and we had a lot of fun with them in the process! We love our photos and the way Stacy put them together in the album at the office. We definitely suggest Joey for any special event! -

We really enjoyed our experience with Joey, first from our engagement shoot, then later for our wedding day. He met with us before the wedding to discuss his ideas and plan out a detailed timeline. We got married at Wayfarers which was hectic because you only have 2 hours on the grounds, 30 mins of which was the actual ceremony. Given the extreme time constraints, Joey maximized the amount of photos he could get in the time he had. You could tell he is an expert photographer and had Wayfarers memorized like the back of his hand! There were photos that we wanted that didn't end up being taken, but that wasn't because of Joey; it was due to the limited time we could be at Wayfarers and also a limo that didn't show up on time after the ceremony. Bummer for us but the photo previews were beautiful! Joey knew photographing 2 brides wearing dresses with long intricate veils would be even more challenging given the time constraints, so he brought on a second professional photographer, Henry, at no additional cost to us to work with him to make sure our day went as smoothly as possible. We would highly recommend working with him for any special occasion! -

Seriously cannot say enough great things about Joey and his team! They are all so wonderful! We met with Tracy and Joey two years ago to plan our wedding which was supposed to happen in 2020, but thanks to COVID got postponed. Joey and Tracy were speaking with us the whole time and suggested other great vendors which we did go with and the team they suggested just made everything so much easier! We even did our engagement shoots with Joey and will probably do more in the future. We got their photo booth addition which was so fun, they had so many props out wedding guests loved it! Joey and Joanna were our photographers for our wedding day and from what we’ve seen posted in their blog the photos were amazing! We can’t wait to see the full gallery of photos. They were able to make us candidly laugh and knew all the perfect lighting and areas to capture. They were the most prepared team in our entire wedding and really helped us envision our perfect day. Joey, his entire team, and the vendors he suggested really made our wedding the best. -

Seth Sent on 09/01/2021Joey's the best!
Last month, I had the privilege of working with Joey for a wedding at the Maxwell House in Pasadena (I'm a wedding DJ). I had already known about (and admired) Joey's photography before meeting him, and working with him at the wedding turned out to be just as inspiring. His professionalism, positive attitude, and passion for photography were evident throughout the entire wedding. Joey's great with people, and when he organized the guests for a group photo after the Ceremony, it was clear that the guests had fun working with him as well. If you have any doubts, simply look through the photos on Joey's website and you'll see that his attention to detail is nothing short of stellar. I'd trust him with the photography at my own wedding, and I'd highly recommend checking him out if you need a wedding photographer yourself! -

We are so happy we went with Joey and his team for our wedding! From beginning to end, we felt very taken care of and he really knows what he's doing. He has an amazing eye for detail and our photos could not come out more perfectly! The memories he captured for us will last a lifetime! He is the absolute best to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! -

We hired Joey to shoot our wedding and could not be happier. He has decades of experience and it shows everywhere (except on his face and in the energy he brings to the job). He was a great asset to the planning of the day and brought an artistic spontaneity to the photos. I would definitely hire him again. -

My husband and I both knew how important it is to have stunning photography to capture a wedding. Therefore, we chose the talented Joey Ikemoto to photograph our wedding & reception because his photos are AMAZING! Joey was extremely flexible in working with us through COVID restrictions. Plus, he was extremely professional, personable, and kept the jokes flowing which put everyone at ease in front of the camera. You can’t go wrong with Joey and his team. We are beyond happy! -

This was one of the best decisions we made. In addition to taking the most beautiful photos, he also put my (now) husband and I at ease during the engagement shoot and during the wedding shoot - and taking couples photos was not something we were used to doing. Working with him was so easy and he literally printed the wedding photo samples I had on pinterest and used them for reference on the day of the wedding. The only advise I would give is to know the kind of shots you want taken so you can discuss them in the prep meeting. So Amazing!!

Joey and his team are amazing and we can't thank them enough! They were wonderful to work with and made our wedding day go so smoothly. Much to our surprise Sam and Jonathan had quite a few tricks up their sleeves to keep my 11 month old son's attention for the photos as well! All the images they captured came out absolutely gorgeous and went above our expectations. We're so happy we chose them for our big day! Highly recommend this photography team!!! -

Joey's team was really professional, creative, accommodative and funny at the same time. They were super familiar with great photo spots and times of the day in Point Vicente to achieve the highest quality pictures.
We highly recommend Joey's team to couples who are looking for recording their special day in a special way. -

I am so glad that I selected Joey Ikemoto as my photographer! While I was having a Planning Meeting at Wayfarer’s Chapel, Joey was highly recommended, and I can see why! Once I was shown some photos of his work, I knew I had to ask him to capture my special day. He met with us to do our engagement shoot and help us plan a timeline for our special day. We got married at Wayfarers Chapel and had our reception at Le Foyer in North Hollywood. Joey knows the chapel so well, that he created a very specific timeline that worked perfectly on our wedding day (photos of us getting ready, at the ceremony site, photos of us at the park and beach, and reception)! Joey was so organized, and kept me laughing the whole day. He even got a smile out of my husband (which is rare, so I’m glad he photographed it)! All of the photographs came out beautifully. I highly recommend Joey Ikemoto Photography.
