I'm also a bit of a movie addict, which helped me develop a good sense of capturing a story, its emotions, flow, and visuals. Mix that in with my inner tech geek and an eye for detail, and I knew it was my calling to pursue my love for photography every day. Life is a cluster of beautiful moments.
From your baby's first birthday to your wedding day, some of these moments are over before you know it - but they're ones you'll want to hold onto forever.We help you take it all in by not only capturing the memory itself, but the emotion in it. And our favorite emotion to capture? There's no shortage of sun in California, so we try to make the most out of its abundance to give our photos a romantic glow.

Andrew is truly the best photographer I have ever worked with! He is incredibly talented, so easy to work and coordinate with, has an attention for detail that is unmatched and a great sense of humor. He feels like a part of our family now after photographing our wedding, maternity photos, baby shower and my brother's wedding and we can't wait to work with him again in the future. You will be in excellent hands if you choose Andrew as your photographer for any occasion.

Andrew and his team shot our engagement shoot, pre-wedding, wedding and reception.
My husband and I are NOT comfortable in front of the camera at all. But Andrew made us feel so comfortable... we actually had fun during all of our photo sessions! We never expected that. And on top of that, the final products were perfect!
Andrew is really knowledgeable in his craft and takes the time and effort to get the right shot no matter the conditions! He was so patient and attentive to his work during times at our wedding where even I wanted to just quit due to the heat. He will climb rocks and his team

We had the pleasure of Andrew's photography services for our small wedding a couple of weeks ago. We were on a limited budget, but we knew exactly what types of photos with friends and family we were interested in. We worked seamlessly with Andrew and he made it happen in the exact manner that worked for us. He took beautiful pictures, was a great communicator and we got a lot done in a short period of time.
We think very highly of Andrew, his abilities, his style, etc. We recommend him without reservation! Thanks for making it a great day, Andrew!

Andrew was our wedding photographer, and he was one of the best decisions I made for the wedding...second only to my choice of groom ;)
But really, it was incredibly overwhelming trying to choose a photographer when I have zero artistic background. I came across his amazing portfolio with photos that are true to color, pop, and jaw dropping night / sunset photos.
As a couple with no experience getting professional photos done, Andrew made it very easy, natural, and a fun time! He's been in this business for quite some time now, works hard to get you amazing photos, and it definitely shows

Andrew is a photography genius.
My husband and I hired Andrew for our wedding last month and we couldn't be happier with the experience and results.
Andrew is easy to work with, punctual, professional yet also relatable and down to earth. We set up a few phone calls prior to our wedding regarding our expectations and timeline and it was pretty much handled from there - Andrew captured perfect photos of our families, politely gesturing guests to stand straighter with hands in pockets, straight and smiling (not an easy task for a big fat Indian wedding). He caught the most perfect candid

A special shoutout to you Andrew. It was a pleasure working with you for my engagement shoot, pre wedding events, and wedding. You made everything feel so comfortable and always commuted with my husband Kunal and I if we loved the pictures! Thank you for all the memories and becoming our friends during our special time. You were the best photographer we would ever recommend to anyone! Thank you so so much for everything!

We hired Andrew to shoot our engagement and wedding. He was very accommodating and helped us relax during the shoots, and can flex between different styles of photography depending on the look that you are going for in your wedding photos (we liked the "dramatic" style). If you show him pictures of what you like he will make it happen! He is a master of lighting, I had no idea how much goes into it before all this but our results speak for themselves! We love Andrew!

Andrew took our family photos (including all the little kids/babies) and was so patient and great! He was very flexible and accommodating during the chaotic issues that arose from last minute hiccups and we really appreciated that! In the end, the photos came out wonderfully and we're so thankful to have these sweet, lasting memories captured by his skillful eye.

Absolutely worth it! I was referred by a couple of my friends who also use Andrew Kwak Photography for their wedding pictures. Every single one of them, have said that he is amazing, not only in the quality of the pictures but also how nice it is to have someone that you can rely on when it comes to capturing one of the most important moments of your lives. So I decided to try it out. My husband and I met him and we talk briefly and kind go over our expectations and our vision how pictures would look like. Andrew will listen to you and is very accommodating when it comes schedule. I am very grateful

We had some challenges with our wedding photographer. As a bride it was pretty traumatizing and I was completely devastated and in tears when I saw our wedding photos. It was at that point that my husband and I decided to take "post wedding photos." Initially I had some concerns especially from last our experience from our wedding photographer but we knew we wanted to have those timeless pictures that we could look back to even if it wasn't from the actual day. After meeting with Andrew and seeing the photos I was beyond impressed by the professionalism and quality of the images

Andrew shot both portraits for my family and for my engagement/wedding pictures. He was not only super friendly and attentive, but also delivered our pictures very promptly. I am happy to say that we have printed and framed many (if not most) of the pictures that he had taken for us!
I have had worked with other photographers for different events and I found that Andrew's talent, organization, and candor to be exceptional.

Andrew Kwak was our favorite vendor across our entire wedding. I personally thought wedding planning was stressful with so many random things to think about like lighting or chargers (that tbh I didn't care about) - but having a great photographer was something we knew we wanted and needed to invest in. All you have at the end of the day are your photos and we are so glad ours turned out amazing. Not only was Andrew great to work with from a service standpoint (not aggressive and pleasant/chill), but technically he's amazing.
Also - we had a big fat Indian wedding and Andrew has a lot

We were recommended to check out Andrew's work by my sister in-law (Dolled Up By LuLu) as they worked together on several weddings. I'm generally shy, but silly because I tend to feel intimidated to take photos especially by professionals. However, Andrew did an amazing job to make us feel comfortable and helped us be ourselves. He did our entire engagement & wedding photos. I really love how he made sure to capture all the details (wedding invites/programs, reception decor, etc) that we don't always get to enjoy to look at on our busy, but special day. He will give suggestions

Andrew was our amazing photographer for our proposal and he did an amazing job capturing the very special moment! My now husband, asked him to shoot the surprise proposal at a Corona Del Mar beach. I had no idea that any of this was going to happen, or that a photographer was hiding amongst the shrubbery and rocks as we proceeded to walk down to the beach. After the question was popped, Andrew then came closer and took more photos. The photos came out beautifully and Andrew made us feel comfortable the whole time. He captured many candid moments, as well as directed us when we had no idea what
