A little about me
Let's be real. My approach is simple: you live the moment, and I'll preserve it. I'm not here to take you away from your cocktail hour or interrupt that catch-up with the friend who flew 2,755 miles to be at your wedding. My photography isn't about stiff poses or forced smiles; it's about documenting the real, unscripted moments that make your day uniquely yours.
I was born and raised in Southern California by two hard-working Korean immigrants. I graduated from Cal State Long Beach with a degree in Political Science. After graduation, I had an "oh shit" moment, wondering what I was going to do with that degree. I decided to pick up a camera, and the rest is history. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me on the golf course, catching a Dodgers game(top deck represent), or trying another overpriced smash burger spot.
If you enjoy my style of photography and think we'll get along, let's work together to create something beautiful. Remember, you only get one wedding day. So let's make it count!
WHAT'S GOOD? I'm GENE.
No BS.
Just photos.
"We eloped in September 2020 and Gene was a rock star through stressful planning and date changes. Not to mention our photos are absolutely stunning! He not only does a wonderful job but is such a pleasure to work with. 2 years later we are still getting compliments from friends and family. Thank you Gene for capturing our special day.”
JORDAN & MIKE
"I had Gene cover our wedding ceremony, off-shots, and post-wedding dinner and THANK GOD we booked him!!! He was so down to earth and kind to us complete newbs in wedding game(it was our first marriage so of course!) and walked us through what we should request him to get the style/image/shots we desire from our special day."
MARI & TONY
"I’m a professional illustrator, and extremely picky when it comes to photos. I love Gene’s composition, lighting, and sense of story. On top of that, he was very patient when we did our family photos. Both my Husband and I have huge families, and it was tough getting everyone together. When we got our photos, he also organizes them into categories which make viewing a lot easier. I highly recommend Gene to any future married couple! Thanks Gene!”
ALEX & ADAM

Forgo tradition. Time to do what you want to do.
