About
Hi, I’m Justin Chee, a photographer based in Los Angeles who specializes in wedding and corporate event photography. For me, photography isn’t just about taking pictures — it’s about capturing real emotion, energy, and atmosphere in a way that tells a story people can feel years later.
I love the contrast in what I do — one weekend I might be documenting the joy and intimacy of a couple’s wedding, and the next, I’m photographing a high-energy corporate gala or conference. No matter the setting, my goal is always the same: to create images that feel genuine, timeless, and intentional.
I approach every project with a calm, creative mindset. I pay close attention to light, composition, and those unscripted in-between moments that often become the most meaningful. My clients describe my work as cinematic, clean, and emotionally honest — a blend of storytelling and precision that reflects who they are and what the moment truly felt like.

I had an excellent overall experience with Justin with Key Captures. He was prompt with reaching out to me. I wanted an outdoor background, and he suggested a local park to me. His fees were reasonable for a head shot. We had set a time and a price. He arrived in a timely manner. He was personable, which put me at ease and improved out outcome of the photos. He selected multiple places within the park to get a mix of backgrounds and light. I received the photos in a timely manner and I was please with how they came out. I posted one of the photos to the website i am on. So, overall it was an excellent experience and i would see book him again for my photography needs.

I contacted Justin three weeks before my LA trip and, he was very responsive! He answered all my questions and allowed me to book ahead of time. Next time I'm in town, I will be contacting Justin again for a photographer.

He was great to work with. He had ton of poses pick out for us to do (which I like, because I thought of only 2). Great direction from him when posing for the the photo. He is a super relaxed photographer which help me be less nervous about taking photos (like I’m i making weird faces worry ). Love the photos I received
