I can’t say enough good things about Joe. I had a last minute proposal planned. Things worked out such a way where I only had a 4 day notice to plan something. he was quick in his response to confirm that he was available. But not only that, as the location of the proposal was completely unknown to me - Joe was kind enough to goto proposal location the day before, take pics of it and marked on the pics where I should physically propose to get the perfect shots! While I don’t have the actual pictures that he’s edited, the pics that he took in the phone are also stunning. Attached are pics of how he marked the location for me and a few of the pics that he snapped on my phone. Will update once I have the actual edited pics which I’m sure will be amazing! Thank you Joe for coming in clutch on my last minute surprise proposal!

Joseph was INCREDIBLE. Words can’t say enough. He is a fabulous photographer but also has an adventurous spirit, he’ll climb straight up the 50 ft waterfall to get that amazing shot (or more likely, shots). From the moment we met him, he made us feel completely comfortable. He gives fantastic direction & helped those of us through it who get weird when you tell them to “smile” 😂. Honestly, if I could give 100 stars I would. He was also a really cool person to be around, he made the day fun and always had his next vision/shot ready to direct. He had a 3 hour drive back but kept on taking pictures until he felt the job was done. We’re beyond elated that we found him, he was one of the few pieces that went SO RIGHT on our wedding day!!!

We are absolutely over the moon with our engagement photos! Joseph beautifully captured the scenery of our venue and the overall joy of the occasion. The photos turned out even better than I had hoped.
In terms of professionalism, Joseph was informative and quick to answer any questions we had prior to booking. He was incredibly understanding when we had a scheduling mix-up, arrived early on the day of the shoot, and made sure everything was perfect, despite the hot weather conditions. He even went above and beyond by having us take a break and bringing us water to cool off.
This was our first time taking professional photos of any kind, but Joseph made us feel super comfortable by making the shoot fun and providing specific and helpful direction. We left the session feeling relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.
We wholeheartedly recommend Joseph Choi Photography to anyone looking for amazing photos and a fantastic photographer. Thank you, Joseph, for capturing these precious moments so beautifully!

Joe was quick to respond to my request for a photographer. He came in under budget and followed the direction I gave him for the shoot since I could not be on-site. I was pleased with the final photos.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to introduce myself and get to know the customer's current situation and needs. From there, the customer and I will discuss any important details to ensure that there is no confusion and that everything works out effortlessly.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Ever since I was a child, I took a couple photos with my camera and thought it was the best thing ever. I grew obsessed with photography and my passion for it grew from a hobby to my career.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
There are many people out there who own an expensive camera and automatically think they're professional photographers. The reality is, it takes years of study and practice to develop an eye for what makes a good photograph or video. Be wary of these "professional" photographers that only produce subpar images.
