Joey and his team are fantastic! We had a wedding of 500+ in Los Angeles and Joey was attentive, organized and kept all of us laughing. My husband saw samples of his work and kept saying, "He is my pick. This man has a third eye!" Just received the previews of the wedding photos and they are breathtaking. I would recommend taking advantage of the pre-wedding meeting. I wanted a mix of traditional, artistic and candid shots and Joey delivered. Thank you again for capturing the beauty and spirit of our day.

We absolutely loved our experience with Joey Ikemoto and his team. From the first emails, to engagement shot, to the day of, Joey and his team were amazing. Sam, our photography had great suggestions and ideas to make the photo shots easy and relaxing, allowing us to enjoy the moment. They were great accommodating to any last minute changes or add ons, as well as being on top of making sure we got all our important shots in. We were able to get our preview pictures, and loved each and every shot, really capturing the day. Best experience ever!

We were recommended Joey Ikemoto Photography by our venue, The Redondo Beach Historic Library. As soon as we spoke with Joey and Tracy at Joey Ikemoto, we were sold! They were always so organized and answers all of my numerous questions whether via phone or e-mail. We used Sam and his associate Jason for our wedding. We can't explain how perfect and on point they were with all of the shots and being at the right place at the right time! They made our wedding day go so smoothly without any stress about photos. All of our friends even enjoyed their company! Overall, very professional, warm and fun people to work with!

I found Joey Ikemoto Photography by conducting research on The Knot as well as on Yelp. On our wedding day, Joey and his 2 assistants (Kevin and Jonathon) were prompt, organized, professional and fun. Joey kept us on schedule and captured so many beautiful memories for us. We have received rave reviews from family and friends once they saw the photos.

The folks at Joey Ikemoto photography are great! Everyone was so helpful and attentive from our first engagement photos all the way through the wedding and picking out our album. We had a lot of questions and they were there to help us throughout the journey. Sam was the photographer for our wedding at Neighborhood Church and reception at PV Golf Club and he knew the venues well and was able to get some amazing shots. He was excellent with organizing the groups, helping everyone feel relaxed, and even making the babies smile. Overall we had a great experience with Joey Ikemoto!

I booked Joey Ikemoto Photography Inc, for my wedding about 2 months ago. I had my wedding at Wayfarers Chapel and they were the preferred vendors there. I booked them because of their experience at the chapel and the pictures on their website were breathtaking. I received all my photos and I couldn't be happier! You can tell they've had many years of experience. They worked hard to get the best shots, and fixed my dress train for almost every picture. We had Sam as our main photographer and Jordan as the assistant photographer and they were professional, organized and so much fun to shot with.

Look no further, you have found thee best in the business right here, at Joey Ikemoto Photography. My husband first spotted some of Joeys work at Wayfarers chapel. He knew right then and there he wanted Joey and his team to be our photographers. It was the quickest desision he made for the entire wedding planning. Every single step of the process was easy and professional yet ligh hearted and fun. I really appreciated the ease of payment as they were the only one of our vendors who sent reminders, invoices, & confirmations. We didn't think we would be able to afford it but thankfully there were packages based off whatever your budget is. They were worth every penny!!! Even my parents, who are not easily impressed, were ranting and raving about our wedding day photographers, Sam and Josh. I have 10 plus people in my immediate family and Sam did an amazing job with not only my family but with the whole day. We just received a preview of our wedding day and we are blown away! We are so beyond grateful we found Joey and his team, they captured the best day of my life in the most beautiful way. I can't stress how highly I recommend them and we're looking forward to using them for every future occasions!

It's hard to find the words to express how happy and grateful I am to have had Joey and his team as our wedding photographers! Joey is so talented and THE best at what he does! Joey and his team made the whole process as painless and informative as it could be, and were great with communicating with me in person, via phone and email, and answering any questions we had. Joey also did a fantastic job with working with us to come up with a very detailed timeline of the day of the wedding - where we would be at what time, and what and who he would be taking pictures of, etc. I was so impressed on the day of our actual wedding. Joey and his assistant had the Groom, MOH, BM, and I start out at the hotel and then we headed over to the venue afterwards. Joey and his assistant arrived at each location promptly and got to work right away. Joey has such a great eye - he asked us to do so many poses and took so many pictures, and it's like he instantly knew what to do to capture each one. On top of all that, he kept us all on schedule and did a great job trying to get us all to relax and most importantly have fun and be ourselves. He has such a great personality, attitude, and cracked a lot of funny jokes. We received so many compliments from guests about how friendly and professional Joey and his assistant were, and were surprised how seamlessly they moved about to capture every possible moment and every single guest in attendance. We recently received a sneak preview of our wedding pictures and they look absolutely beautiful and unique!!! Each shot is like a piece of art or brings back emotions and wonderful memories from that day. We can't wait to see the rest of the pictures!!!

We had Sam & Daryl from Joey Ikemoto Photography for our wedding last July 26. I would say I love the work they've done. We just saw some of the pictures and they are incredible! To top it off, Sam & Daryl made the whole day photoshoot fun and entertaining. Their personality makes it such a non stressful task for my husband who doesn't like taking pictures at all. I would highly recommend Joey Ikemoto Photography to anyone especially if your wedding is in Wayfarers. They know exactly where to take good shots.

Joey Ikemoto Photography was the best decision my husband and I made! The whole process was easy and most importantly stress free. Their whole team is personable and professional, you can tell they love what they do. Sam and Nathan were our photographers for the big day and they really helped me be calm through it all. We got our preview of the wedding photos yesterday and every single photo is perfect. They are the best at capturing every important and loving moment. I would recommend this team to anyone and everyone for every photography occasion. We couldn't be happier with our photos.

We planned our wedding in 6 weeks and came upon Joey Ikemoto last minute. They came highly recommended and were able to accommodate us despite the short amount of lead time. They were absolutely terrific and lived up to expectations. They were professional, punctual, efficient, and great with all our guests. They were always working and get as much stuff as they could. The results were wonderful. Would highly recommend!!

Stunning - Artistic - Captivating! Honestly, every review on here is spoken from the heart and is the God-honest truth! We loved every moment with these guys - from Joey taking engagement shots in the studio to Sam and Jason at The Wayfarers Chapel. My wife was so nervous about the whole wedding day, and even more so, worrying about looking gorgeous for her soon-to-be husband, family and friends. Sam is a natural and not only made her feel relaxed and comfortable, but shot the most beautiful and natural pictures we have ever taken together. The final pictures are stunning, running the spectrum from artistic on one end to natural and captivating on the other! We give Joey Ikemoto Photography 10 stars - because they made one of the hardest choices in our life, the best decision in our life. Don’t hesitate - Joey Ikemoto books weddings up to a year in advance and there’s a thousand reasons why. All of these reviews - everyone of them is true!

My husband and I were very lucky to have the opportunity to know these guys. Joey, Sam and Kyler are all AMAZING!!! They are suuuuper fun to work with and at the same time, very professional. When I met them for the first time, I was already comfortable and was at ease with them. They are also awesome with kids (2-5 year-olds)!!! And they were so very familiar with the places that we chose--The Portofino Hotel in Redondo and the wonderful Wayfarer's Chapel in Palos Verdes--we didn't have to worry about anything at all. They know what to do and we just couldn't ask for anything more. We love you guys and we look forward to working with you again in the future! Thanks again!!!

Joey Ikemoto Photography has the provided us the best service with a smile! From scenic shots to capturing the perfect moments, Joey is the best!! Joey was even able to make us laugh and smile during our photoshoot but also he was able to get our son's attention and is excellent with kids. All the photos were amazing especially his scheduling, coordination and great experience at Wayfarers Chapel. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and company for our wedding. I would recommend him to everyone I know. - Robert and Jennifer.
