Our best decision
I hated wedding planning. It gave me anxiety and acid reflux. But choosing Justin as our photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding. Besides getting married to the love of my life (I love you, Dan), choosing to work with Justin was the best decision I made.
I read on a post somewhere, a long time ago, that choosing the right photographer was one of the most crucial decisions of wedding planning. Memories are wonderful, but unfortunately, they’re fleeting. Photographs are forever. First, we need to talk about the photos. He DELIVERED. He surprised us with an incredible selection of previews within hours of our engagement photoshoot (Does this man ever sleep?) and within a few days of our wedding day. I swear I didn’t even see him at all during our ceremony, but somehow he ended up delivering so many incredible photos from incredible angles. My husband and I have asked each other “how did he even get that shot?” many times while looking through the pictures. He captured our day in an even more beautiful light than I remember it. My family has always hated photos of themselves, but when Justin’s photos came in… I have never seen everyone upload so many pictures so quickly onto their social media. I think my dad may have changed his profile picture 3 times while clicking through the wedding album.
Now we need to talk about Justin as a person. Professionally, he is so incredibly detail oriented, but also very go with the flow, which is so very important. He showed up to our getting ready spaces to “feel out the vibes” and help out with anything he could. For some reason, our wedding and Harry Potter Day coincided, and Potterheads kept trying to crash our wedding… Not on Justin’s watch. He very graciously shooed them all away. Not a wizard nor witch in sight. And at the end of the evening, Justin helped pack up all of the decorations, and made sure that everyone was safely on their way home.
I also feel like I need to review Justin as a friend. He’s a genuinely kind and funny person. 12/10 friend. Responds to all of the dumb gifs, memes, and videos I DM him. He would be a 13/10 friend, but I took off a point because he couldn’t simultaneously be our wedding guest and our wedding photographer.
Pro Tip: Ask Justin to dance at your wedding. His knees might give out, but he puts on a great show.I hated wedding planning. It gave me anxiety and acid reflux.

LOLOLOL this might be my all time favorite review - so thank you for something so heartwarming, but also real, honest, and funny. I LOL'ed while reading this.
I'm sorry you had to have your wedding on Harry Potter Day - at least it was memorable :P
I'll just keep this short and say I really enjoyed every part of your wedding and glad to have been part of it (even the epic dancing). I just want to become best friends with your parents lolol. My heart is full -

We love justin!
Justin is absolutely incredible! Throughout the entire session, he had my fiancé and me laughing and smiling non-stop - Justin's fun personality made the session enjoyable! His talent as an artist was evident as he continually guided us to the best spots and poses. His ability to capture candid moments was amazing! He was not only professional but also incredibly kind and engaging, there was never an awkward moment. Getting to know him during the session was a pleasure, and we are beyond grateful for how incredible the photos turned out!

Great experience with a wonderful photographer!
Justin was amazing to work with from beginning to end. He was responsive to our emails and was quick to set up a virtual meeting so that we could both meet and get to know each other. We could tell he understood our vision from the get go.
During our micro wedding photoshoot, he arrived early and did a full scan of the location to make sure we got the most optimal lighting and angle. This was the first time my husband and I ever took photos together so Justin's jokes and guidance really helped us. He made us feel so comfortable during the photoshoot which showed in the final results; we have so many candid photos that we love!
I would totally recommend him to anyone that is looking for a hard working and fun photographer!Justin was amazing to work with from beginning to end.

100/10 Would Book Again
Justin captured my husband and I's special day so beautifully. He made taking the photos so much fun, so we were super comfortable with him and that showed through the photographs. We had a very specific aesthetic we were aiming for and he absolutely nailed it. Justin is also so professional, he sent us a sneak peek of our photos ONE day after our event, and sent us the full shots less than a week after!!!
We are so thankful we went with Justin to capture our day, and will be booking Justin for any of our photography needs - definitely recommend to anyone that needs a photographer for wedding/engagement/elopement pictures/ any special events.Justin captured my husband and I's special day so beautifully.

Engagement Photos in Washington, D.C. with Justin
Justin is absolutely AMAZING at what he does. My fiancé and I can’t recommend him enough! His communication and planning is 10/10. We let him know the locations we wanted to shoot at and met him day of the shoot - he jumped right into guiding us through the session (we had no idea what we were doing, but Justin made us feel so comfortable). We laughed through the entire shoot! Justin is very personable and friendly.
Justin sent previews of some photos the SAME day we did the shoot. We were in love with the previews! Shortly after, we got our full portfolio - to say we are obsessed is an understatement. All of the photos are beautiful, and Justin perfectly captured us. If you’re looking for a photographer who makes you feel comfortable, is great at communicating, and delivers stunning photos - look no further than Justin.Justin is absolutely AMAZING at what he does.

Awesome, Attentive & AMAZING
Justin is the BEST!! He not only made us feel incredibly comfortable but also helped us break out of our shells, pushing through insecurities to capture gorgeous photos. Working with him was a true pleasure, and we consider ourselves lucky to have had such a talented photographer for our engagement session.Justin is the BEST!!

10/10 - would recommend to any couple!
Justin was an amazing photographer for our elopement (just the 2 of us)! We zoom chatted with him before booking him, and we loved his vibe immediately and knew we would be comfortable in his presence to fully express all of the romantic, intimate, and silly parts of our relationship. He did a fantastic job with the details, including flagging 5 days in advance that our elopement date would be rained out, so that we were able to immediately reschedule for 2 days later. He expertly laid out the train of my dress, helped me fix my hair, etc. and also touched up the photos afterwards to fix little things. He did a great job guiding us with suggested poses while also capturing our spontaneous candid moments. It was a very fun and relaxing photography session , and the photos turned out amazing -- perfect lighting, composition, etc. 10/10 would recommend him to all couples!Justin was an amazing photographer for our elopement (just the 2 of us)!

Fantastic Experience
In a nutshell: fantastic photos, both posed and unposed. We highly recommend Justin --- hurry up and book him!
We hired Justin to be our wedding photographer in DC, and we are incredibly grateful that we did. Here are three qualities we think stand out.
- Incredible photos
We ended up with a huge set of amazing photos — posed, candid reactions from the guests, details of the venue that we didn’t even notice, and more. Usually we’d expect just a few great photos. We have more than we can count! He managed to capture every aspect of our wedding day and left us with so many stunning shots, it’s hard to choose favorites.
- Super organized
He arranged our outdoor photoshoot at amazing spots with sufficient buffer time as we moved between locations. He collected info about the venue and our ceremony plans beforehand to optimize the lighting, perspective and angles for the photoshoot. He reached out to us a few days before our wedding about his detailed plan, and was clear with expectations on when we'd receive our photos.

Incredible Experience with Justin
Justin was the first vendor that we booked for our wedding- before the venue, before anything else and it was probably the best decision that I made in the entirety of our wedding planning. Justin was such a pleasure to work with from the start and went above and beyond to make sure that my partner and I were comfortable in the run-up to the wedding and on our wedding day (which is saying a lot, because my partner hates taking/being in pictures). On the wedding day, Justin was even more incredible than I could have imagined. He made us both feel at ease the entire wedding, making us laugh and seamlessly capturing amazing pictures along the way. All night and since the wedding, we've had family and friends tell us how incredible Justin was- his easygoing, friendly demeanor made an already really special day even better and we are so grateful to have him as our photographer. The pictures he captured are stunning (no surprise given the work we'd seen of his before) but I was blown away by the candid moments he was able to capture that we will cherish forever. Again- I can't recommend Justin highly enough and will forever be grateful for both the way he was able to capture the best moments of such an important day and for him being such a wonderful person.Justin was the first vendor that we booked for our wedding- before the venue, before anything else and it was probably the best decision that I made in the entirety of our wedding planning.

Justin is the G.O.A.T.
Justin was an absolute blast to work with. His photos included a perfect balance of posed shots and candid shots. He worked with us to develop a plan and was able to execute that plan while allowing us to go with the flow and enjoy the moments. Justin was my favorite vendor to work with throughout the whole process - very personable and friendly.Justin was an absolute blast to work with.

The absolute best
My husband and I agree - Justin was the best choice of our wedding!
On our wedding day, Justin was more than just a photographer. He was a calming presence, helping to fix (multiple!) broken dresses, and pinning on flowers when no one could figure them out, and so much more! He went above and beyond, and not just with how amazing our photos are. He also got our photos back in record time!!
He shot everywhere from within a hotel, church, to our reception - and every photo is as beautiful. More importantly - Justin has the unique ability to capture the feeling of a moment with his photos. He did exactly what we wanted which was to capture amazing photos of our day - without us feeling like we are spending our day on photos or posing.
We are so lucky to get the relive our day and engagement photoshoot through his photos!
Bonus: My mom raved about Justin all night and continues to rave about him.My husband and I agree - Justin was the best choice of our wedding!

If you're looking for an outstanding photographer, look no further!
From the moment we first chatted with Justin, we knew we were in capable hands. His professionalism, creativity, and passion for capturing special moments were evident throughout the entire process. He’s just the best!
Prior to our wedding day, Justin came to a walk-through at our venue and made us feel super comfortable before we even started taking photos.
On our wedding day, Justin was more than just a photographer; he was a calming presence and a supportive friend. We did a small ceremony with just the two of us, our officiant and Justin - and he was the perfect addition to our day. He captured all of the details and moments that truly reflected the joy and love we felt.
We aren’t exactly models so we weren’t sure how we’d do in front of the camera. Justin went above and beyond making us feel comfortable and genuinely have fun taking our pictures. From emotional to lighthearted, the photos we received exceeded our highest expectations. He managed to encapsulate our day in a way that we will cherish forever.
He played an integral role in making our wedding day unforgettable. We cannot recommend him highly enough to any couple looking for an exceptional photographer who also happens to be a super cool and genuine person.
Thank you, Justin, for making our day come to life in the most beautiful way possible. Your work is a gift we will treasure always.From the moment we first chatted with Justin, we knew we were in capable hands.

Justin will capture the essence of your moment
It was a pleasure having Justin take our photos. Our families and friends interacted with him and thought he was fun and professional. Justin is well-known throughout the wedding community, and he worked super well with the vendors at our wedding. Justin arrived promptly at the venue and stuck with the timeline from the beginning to the end. He was understanding and listened to our concerns and questions. Weddings can be a little hectic, and Justin was patient and flexible. He captured the subtle and grandeur details of our unforgettable day. My husband and I enjoyed each beautiful photo he took. We highly recommend Justin! There is no doubt or questioning behind his work.It was a pleasure having Justin take our photos. Our families and friends interacted with him and thought he was fun and professional. Justin is well-known throughout the wedding community, and he worked super well with the vendors at our wedding. Justin arrived promptly at the venue and stuck with the timeline from the beginning to the end. He was understanding and listened to our concerns and questions.

Incredible Photos
Justin is amazing at what he does. He was very easy to work with because of his great communication that he had with us. He made sure to understand what we wanted from the picture first. He also made suggestion that enhanced our experience and how the photos turned out. Viewing his gallery on his website and instagram help my wife and I decide on him as our photographer, because the quality of pictures were simply amazing.Justin is amazing at what he does.

Thoughtful and exceptional photographer
Justin was an absolute gem to work with. We used him for our engagement and wedding photos. He immediately puts you at ease given all the formality of photography which yields incredibly authentic photos. His personality also lends itself to some pretty awesome photos of the guests throughout the day. He was able to roll with the punches of the day and really proved himself to be the utility vendor for our day. Highly highly recommend.Justin was an absolute gem to work with.

Joanie! You did it! You championed through it all and still made it look effortlessly (at least from what I noticed!). Thank you for being incredibly accommodating and being flexible with the changes! You are a rock star -

Justin is the mvp of any wedding!
If you are looking for a top tier photographer for you special day, look no further!!! Justin's level of talent is simply unmatched and he's the guy you need.
Where should we even begin?! He really is a hero when it comes to all of the vendors you deal with during the process. Their contribution to making your wedding successful is dependent on whether they decide to go above and beyond, and we can confidently say that's exactly what he did. We were hoping that the uniqueness of his initial work that we came across would also shine through on our day and he DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT!
From the first moment we met with Justin, to him being the last vendor to stick around to help us clean up after the reception, he has been such a joy to be around and work with. Justin was all for meeting us at the venue for a walk-through and afterwards he stuck around for a glass of wine to chat and get to know us a little more. We greatly appreciated him getting a feel for who we are as individuals, as well as a couple. He has such a lovable personality and he really makes an effort to depict that same love through his photos. He has great attention to detail and is great with doing both candid and posed photos. His level of professionalism, adaptability, and organization of his work is second to none!
Even though the weather was not on our side for our ceremony, he was still able to help us capture the amazing scenery and ambiance that we fell in love with at our venue. He took plenty of candid photos at the reception and it's like you can actually feel the energy through the pictures! He was moving all around the room with so much passion that you almost forgot that he was taking pics of everything going on. ALSO, if you ever get a chance to watch him break it down on the dance floor you'll realize... JUSTIN CAN DANCE!!! 10 out of 10 for his dance moves for sure.
If we could leave a rating higher than five stars we would most definitely give him the highest praise... and then double it. The preview shots were high quality and wholesome and we will be giving him a shoutout to everyone we know! We hope to work with him again in the future!

LOLOL this is my favorite review - hands down! Thank you for all the praise, but I am just honored to be in your presence. I was definitely worried about the rain, but honestly, you two handled it effortlessly and I loved spending every minute with you two (and your friends and family). I am so happy that I could be part of your day! Ya'll are the best -

Creative, fun and very talented photographer
Justin was wonderful to work with, professional, thorough, creative and fun! He made the experience seamless and several guests at our wedding asked for his info for their own future photography needs. The photos were beyond gorgeous! He truly has an eye and natural talent! I am obsessed with the style he brought to our wedding photos! I am already trying to find another wedding photo op to hire him again.. maybe family photos!Justin was wonderful to work with, professional, thorough, creative and fun!

Two words: hire justin!
I cannot sing his praises enough. We decided to go with Justin as our photographer because of a few main things: his reviews were awesome; his portfolio shows his strong, artistic eye for the big dramatic shots; and he also captures the smaller in-between moments that are often missed in the excitement/chaos of the big day! His communication is next level - whether via phone, email or in-person on the day of. He has such a fun and warm demeanor. He gets you hyped during the shots, and can also rally & direct family members during the chaos of family portraits 😂 I am so happy we hired Justin, he was worth every penny and more. We have so many beautiful photos of our day that we’ll cherish forever. THANK YOU, JUSTIN ❤️❤️I cannot sing his praises enough.

Justin is the BEST!
Justin is the absolute BEST - hire him and know you have made the best decision! Our wedding photos are incredible - I am obsessed, I can't stop looking at them (although a little sad too that it is over...but so happy we have so many amazing memories captured). Justin is incredible - his ability to be in so many locations all at once blows my mind - especially at the Cathedral, and how incredible we were able to get shots that are otherwise off limits?!?! I also love all the moments of real emotion on everyone's faces - amazing moments I would have never known happened! I can't thank him enough! Also he made the day fun and was super helpful especially during the moments that didn't quite go as planned - someone even asked if he was my wedding planner!

Alexis! I'm so happy to have been part of your wedding day! I'm glad we did the site visit together so we could find the spots prior to the day and also get to know your coordinator. MVP - definitely the coordinator at the Cathedral - as she allowed me to take a few photos while the ceremony was going on. I'm still swooning over your sunset photos! Thank you for making time to do those as well! LOL - I'll be your wedding planner, hype man, meteorologist, whatever you need! Much love and gratitude! -

Justin is the GOAT
I first saw Justin's work when someone I knew posted their engagement/wedding photos on Instagram, and I was immediately drawn by how beautiful each photo was, his mastery of working with light, and how you could literally feel emotion emanating from the images. This was almost 3 years before I had to look for a wedding photographer, and when I was starting my search, I knew that I had to reach out to him to see if he could work with us for our wedding. By the time we had our engagement photo shoot with him, it was so clear that he was an incredible artist. He knew exactly how to give us direction to make every photo special, and he was also so much fun to work with and to get to know. He was such a great presence to have on our wedding day, made everyone feel so comfortable, and documented the day perfectly. When we looked through our final photos, it felt like we were reliving the entire day and then some, since he captured so many details that we did not get to appreciate among the craziness of the day. He is a consummate professional who responds rapidly to any emails/questions and returned our final portfolios in lightning speed. We cannot recommend him enough.I first saw Justin's work when someone I knew posted their engagement/wedding photos on Instagram, and I was immediately drawn by how beautiful each photo was, his mastery of working with light, and how you could literally feel emotion emanating from the images.

10/10 and BEYOND!!!!!
Justin is incredible. He is exactly who you want for your wedding (or any event for that matter). He is incredibly responsive, a great communicator, and extremely professional. He is SO quick, knows exactly what he’s doing and what looks good, will help you pose when you feel awkward and has fun energy to help you relax. On our wedding day, he went above and beyond. Our guests LOVED him, he was so fun to be around, and only added to the party. And finally, the photos are breathtaking. They tell an amazing story, the lighting is perfection, and the shots are as creative as they are authentic. He’s amazing and he doesn’t know it but will be photographing the rest of my life’s events :) Your photos are forever, and he is who you want capturing that!Justin is incredible.

Can't say enough great things!
Justin is the best. We originally booked him for our March 2020 wedding in DC, which we had to cancel at the last moment thanks to a little global pandemic, and he stuck with us all the way through to our May 2023 redo in Philly. He was so easygoing despite the switch to a new city and new venue and made us feel comfortable the entire time. He's a pro. He knows all the right questions to ask, how to get the shots he wants, and how to make people feel good in front of the camera. Honestly, we had a great time just hanging out with him on our wedding day, where he truly was a one-man machine. We couldn't believe how many shots he got, honestly. We'd recommend Justin to anyone.Justin is the best.

Would 100% Recommend!
Justin Kunimoto was our wedding photographer at Brookside Gardens in MD. We were referred to Justin by a friend and we were impressed by the quality of his portfolio and photography style. We immediately clicked with Justin during our first video consultation. Justin efficiently created our proposal, which included a timeline detailing all of our photo requests. During our walkthrough at the venue, Justin had a great eye for the best places to take photos and helped us create a plan for our wedding day. He even offered to take extra photos before and after his scheduled time slot. On the wedding day, Justin went to the venue in the morning to double check on photo locations with the best blooming flowers and even came to check in with us at our hotel while we were getting ready. He was supportive and made us feel comfortable during our wedding and shared preview photos with us the next day! We were pleasantly surprised to receive our photo gallery with a very quick turnaround and were very pleased with the outcome. We would 100% recommend Justin for any professional photography needs.Justin Kunimoto was our wedding photographer at Brookside Gardens in MD.
