Jason Q Tran Photography

Do not sleep on Jason - he is amazing! If you are looking for a photographer who has an artistic eye, unique angles, and totally different from the typical cookie cutter lovey dovey photos then Jason is it. Jason also does those classic wedding photos, but he gives you so much more!! My fiance and I just finished our E-session with him, and we are both more than thrilled. My bio has the link to some E-session photos, and I will post more as I receive them. Trust me, you wont be disappointed!!

EDIT: Our wedding has now passed and all I can say is that Jason is hands down one of my favorite vendors! He was extremely professional, and I know our photos are going to look amazing because of him. I definitely recommend him!!

I've been putting off my review because I simply can't find the words to describe how much I LOVED having Jason capture our wedding images. Jason was a last minute, down to the wire addition to my dream team of wedding vendors. But he stepped up to the plate, arrived early and was ready to get down to business. On the wedding day, he kept checking my DOC's time line and moved us along so we'd stay on schedule as much as we could. Jason has the keenest most artistic eye, it's amazing. He'd take shots and I'd wonder how it would look but when I saw the final photos, my jaw dropped. Seriously. I felt like I was looking in a magazine! My thoughts were "That's not us!" I was so overjoyed! He'd also pop up out of no where, snap the shot and be gone. I never noticed him around! My family and friends nicknamed him "The Ninja Photographer!"

Many of my vendors immediately wanted to use his pictures for their own portfolios as well.

If you are looking for "The sure thing" than Jason is your man. You don't need to look anywhere else. His communication is excellent and prompt. I just can't express how much I loved his work. You will definitely see his work published in many magazines in the coming years.

if i could give him 10 stars i SO would BUT were only limited to 5 haha
honestly from the beginning we had NO DOUBT that he would be THE ONE for our wedding day. he captured everything AND more. we are VERY much please with allll the photos. i HIGHLY recommend him to EVERYONE! hehe

Jason is one of the most professional photographer I've ever met. As a bride to be planning your own wedding is not an easy feat. There are so many decisions and one of the most important one next to your venue is your wedding PHOTOGRAPHER. Everyone always stress to NOT skimp out on the wedding photographer and I'm so glad I didn't. Some of my main criteria are artistic photojournalist style, trust worthy and overall a good person. Jason met all these criteria. You should check out his blog www.jasonqtranblog.com, his photos are amazing! Out of all the photographers I've met he was the only one who came prepare with he his own wedding photographer insurance. Everything from our initial meeting to signing the final contract has been smooth sailing. We're so excited for our E-shoot and the Big Day with Jason. I'll keep you posted lots of pics once we get our E-shoot.

We are so thrilled with the wonderful job Jason did! His work is amazing and he is truly a pleasure to work with. I can't say enough great things about Jason. Jason's vision of our wedding by far exceeded our expectations. His work is truly spectacular. I would highly recommend hiring Jason for your special day. He will not disappoint. Thank you thank you Jason!!!

Wow!!! Jason is an amazing photographer who is very laid back and easy going. I looked through hundreds of wedding photography's websites/blogs and didn't find anyone that blew me away. That is until I came across Jason's website/blog. I was so thrilled when I found that he was near by and that he was available for our big day. Jason was the first and last photographer we met with and we just knew that he had to be our wedding photographer. I'm overly picky and my brother who is also an amazing wedding/portrait loved his work also. The one thing I didn't want to cut back on was on our wedding photos and I'm so glad we didn't. His work is superb and he made so feel so relaxed.
He is very professional and super friendly. Look no further and I'm promise you won't have any regrets.

I've had the pleasure of working with Jason for a few gigs and he has also shot for a couple bridal clients of mine. He never fails to impress me with his work... it's original and edgy; the moments he captures in his shots are full of life and color! If you have the chance, check out his website, you'll definitely be blown away by his work. I'm so glad to have met Jason, he's awesome to work with and I would refer him to any bridal client of mine!

Our photos are sensational and capture our personalities as well as the happiness and love that was shared throughout that day by all! I originally met Jason as the maid of honor in my sister's wedding and loved their engagement/wedding pictures so much that it was without a doubt that I must have him for our wedding! I truly love the candid shots, the artistic shots, as well as the romantic side that is captured in them. I would highly recommend Jason Q Tran Photography for anyone that wants their day truly felt through their photos. That is what our photos did for us, they captured the feeling. We can remember the feeling we had (the fun, laughter, love, happiness, thankfulness, etc.) throughout the most important day of our lives. All of our photos mean so much and are so beautiful! Thank you Jason! He is an amazing photographer!

Oh my gosh! Jason is super detailed and professional. You will make the best decision chosing his services. Our pictures are phenomenal, we love Jason! He's even going to do our pictures for our latest addition! Our lil baby...he's the best!

Great photographer, very professional. we have had numerous complements on our wedding pics. I would recommend to friends and family.

Jason is an awesome photographer and I would recommend him anytime. He did my friend's wedding and when I saw her pictures I was amazed. The color just seemed to pop out at you. I knew I wanted him to capture my wedding as well. Once I got my own wedding pictures I was speechless. They were beautiful. I've gotten numerous complements on our wedding pics and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Jason!

I am so lucky to have booked Jason to photograph my wedding! From his online portfolio, we already knew he was talented. In person, he is super easy going, friendly, and professional. We just got the photos back from the wedding a few weeks ago, and they are spectacular. All my friends have said that they are the best wedding photos that they have seen. You only get your special day once, and Jason's photos captured mine beautifully, so that I'll be able to remember it forever.

From the start, we were impressed by Jason's talented eye for genuine moments, commitment to capturing beautiful photographs, and easygoing attitude. He definitely has a photojournalistic style. He took great candid photos of us during the ceremony and of our guests having a fun time at the reception. We found him easy to work with: he listened to our ideas before the wedding, showed up early and got along well with our families the day-of, and turned around the photos and digital images in a timely manner. If you are looking for someone who is friendly, professional, reasonable, and talented, Jason is the photographer you want. Our families and friends will cherish the amazing photos of our wedding day for years to come, thanks to Jason.

At first I was nervous to go with someone I found online, but it was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Jason was easy to work with, very professional, on time and courteous. His work was beautiful, and the price was extremely fair. I'm very happy to write this review and recommend such a great photographer!

Our experience with Jason Q Tran photography was one of a kind. They were very professional, fun to work with and are genuine people. I highly recommend them and we were glad to have them be part of our special day.

Jason is truly a talented photographer and artist that can capture anything beautifully. The first time I met him he was very professional, straightforward, and was never pushy. You can tell he is just a genuine person who is great at what he does. For our engagement photos, traffic held me hostage on the freeway for hours and we had to change our location at the last second, and he was still so gracious and did an amazing job. Everything from our engagement photos to our actual wedding day was captured so so beautifully. Jason and his assistant are really a pleasure to work with.

I am very pleased with Jason's work. He did an amazing job at my wedding and we get complimented allThe time for our wedding pictures! He is the best at his job and is very professional!

After our venue, Jason was the second vendor we booked.My fiance and I had a long engagement since we had been long-distance for more than 8 years, so I had more than a couple of years to "web-stalk" potential photographers.My family is in love with taking pictures and I usually wouldn't be caught dead holding a camera or posing for a photograph.I knew I wanted a modern/artistic photographer for our nuptials. I wanted photos I would be proud to display in an album or on a wall because of the artistry (not just because my husband and I were the subjects). Thus, I began my search on some wedding photojournalist websites and came across Jason Q Tran's webpage in 2006/7?My family is Vietnamese and Jason shares my surname, so I was intrigued with what he could do with some traditional Vietnamese elements--Jason was just beginning to do wedding photography and he had some interesting shots, but our wedding was still in the distant future, so I filed his name away in my brain.Fast-forward a few years later and we were about to finally get married in orange county--lo and behold, Jason Q Tran is now pretty well-known in wedding photography in Orange County (that's what I was told by some of my other wedding vendors). When I re-discovered his portfolio, I was enamored.My fiance and I met with Jason. Once we asked for his availability/pricing, I told him I was not looking at any other photographers, so he'd better be available! His pricing is competitive with other photographers I BRIEFLY considered. He had a contract available at his (very nice) office and even has insurance--extremely professional.I don't know much about artistic photography--but I was in awe of the finished product.Jason is not only an artistic photographer but he is also highly skilled with layouts--the artistic print from our engagement session we displayed for the wedding is so lovely, even the label on our engagement and wedding DVD looks nice!His photo "Q Booth" was one of the best elements of the wedding--far superior to a traditional photo booth in quality. The Q Booth brought out the inner ham/comic in many of the shy elders, thanks to the random props. My only regret was not using it myself with my husband.Last, but not least, Jason knew how to manage working with some of my "overenthusiastic" wedding guests with cameras to ensure he got all the important shots. The man has great patience if he can handle my photo-happy paparazzi family!Jason, his second photographer, and photographic staff were definitely photographic ninjas--I could not conceive how they got some really great shots, but they somehow managed! Even my friends who are professional photographers commented on how fabulous his photos are.Jason is a highly skilled and professional artist--my husband was more excited to look at our wedding photos than me--I've never seen the guy excited to look at any pictures in his life.We look forward to hiring Jason to work with us for other milestones in our future.

Jason Q Tran is amazing. Though we felt a little uncomfortable at first, our engagement session photos WOW-ed everyone. I was so tired on my wedding day, and I looked really tired, but Jason managed to capture some great moments and I can't wait to do our trash the dress session with him for our 1 year anniversary. He was so great, two of our friends who are getting married later this year booked him as well. I love his style. Everything turned out beautiful!

Jason was everything we could wish for in a wedding photographer. He is a relaxed, easygoing guy with a keen aesthetic eye and great photography skills. After screening several photographers, we selected Jason for his photojournalistic style and rave references. He captures genuine moments during the wedding day. Jason is capable of catching the contemporary, fun snaphots and classical portraits. Jason arrived early at our church to scope the lighting and try different lenses. His expertise and talent are evident in our bright, crisp, and wonderful photos. He worked really well with our wedding party and families, to capture the must-have shots as well as the candids throughout the ceremony and reception. The photos really tell the story of our day, and it was fun to work with Jason. He sent us our prints and digital images in a timely manner according to our contract. I recommend him with no reservations and the highest praise.

AWESOME. you have a great personality and professionalism. =) i've already been slathering your name all over nor cal! i'm definitely keeping your number on speed dial

Jason is an amazing photographer and very professional. He is also a very kind individual and very easy to work with. We highly recommend him for any photography needs. He has an eye for the commonly unseen and a way of capturing events and images that truly displays the emotion of the moment. In sum, he is brilliant.

Jason worked with us to create a wonderful memoir of our engagement and wedding day. He customized our photography package and delivered beautiful pictures that captured the love and excitement that we felt inside.

Jason's work is fantastic and even our friends and family members loved the photos and want him to be their photographer for their next event. Jason was professional, very nice to work with, friendly, very responsive, and accommodating to our specific needs and tastes. He offered great advice and seemed to know what we wanted with little direction during the wedding and reception. We spoke several times before the event and he was a great listener and a pleasure to talk to on a professional and personal level. During the wedding and reception, he captured the once in a lifetime moments. Our personalities, emotions, and moods are captured in the photographs. He captures many details in each picture and when I look at the pictures again I see another detail that I missed earlier. In addition, he was discrete and unobtrusive especially during the ceremony...you didn't even know he was there, but when you review the pictures, he seemed to photograph every moment. We received a CD with over 300 high resolution photographs and that was a bonus on top of everything else. We were very happy with the value of Jason's packages especially when you consider the amount of time he spent at the wedding, the commute, the finishing touches on the computer, etc. He treated us like we were his only clients though you knew he had back to back events and kept a busy schedule. We highly recommend Jason!!!

Jason was MORE than we could ever have asked for! He was so amazing and down to earth as well! From the moment he shot our engagement shoot, we felt extremely comfortable with him and his style of photography. We have already received our pictures (only one month after the wedding) and they are wonderful! We get so many compliments on Jason's candid style and processing of the photos. He knows what works and what looks absolutely beautiful! Words cannot express our gratitude toward Jason and all of his hard work!

Jason was amazing! We love both our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures! His pricing is very good, and he did a fantastic job! We are so pleased that we booked him!!

My hubby & I love the Q! His work speaks volumes. Just check out his portfolio and be prepared to be blown away. If you want something artsy/edgy/not cookie cutter, just let Jason do his thing. He is really big on finding good light, natural frames, etc. Our engagement session photos were met with rave reviews. My friends thought that my pictures looked that we were posing for a magazine spread. His pictures were the talk of our engagement party. So for the wedding we just decided to let him & his photographers do their thing, so I'm very excited to see our final product. There were a few traditional family shots that I wanted, which he was more than happy to do.

He is not the cheapest, but he's not expensive either for e-session, album, 8 hour session with a second photographer/assistant. This is what I learned when I checked out photographers: request to look at a full gallery, not just their porfolio. The bad photographers will have a colorful, "edgy" portfolio...but when you look at their real gallery, you can definitely tell the difference. It's especially funny when you compare somebody like Jason's work at the same venue as somebody else. It's worth the splurge! We'll likely use him for future sessions when we have a few kids.

Great affordable LA photographer. Like everyone said, he's very artistic and professional. You can definitely feel his passion for photography.

However, my husband and I wish he would've put more time and effort into capturing the fun moments. Both of us feel like he wasn't the best at modeling us. He kept telling us to close our eyes. He also tends to overphotoshop his black and white photos. In one of them, the outline of my face was actually angular and I looked like a freaking ghost!!

Of all the photographers we interviewed, Jason was probably the most professional but also least interested in getting to know us. He's a really nice guy, but I think the photos would've been A LOT better had he known us better. I would still recommend him to anyone though because he is young and good at what he does. Once he has more experience working with couples, he'll be amazing and probably very expensive!

Thank-you for an amazing job with our wedding pictures! You really did a fantastic job of documenting the event and capturing the emotions of our day. You really have a great skill of not being obtrusive and you got some evoking candid shots along with great traditional shots with the families. It will be difficult to pick which shots to use in our album, which is not a bad problem to have. Also, our engagement shots you took far exceeded our expectations. Thanks for a job well done!

Our client booked Jason Q Tran for her June 7th 2008 Wedding - And I must say it was a pleasure working with Jason. He was very professional and courteous!!! Our client was extremely satisfied!! I have seen some of the photos and they are amazing!!!!

Jason is someone I look up to in the wedding photography industry. I have worked with him in the past and love his style and take on wedding photography.

I absolutely love all of Jason's work. Extremely professional, and he gets some high quality, unique and stunning shots. One of the best photographers I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

Jason photographed a wedding that we did at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. He was amazing! He took amazing shots of everything and really got the ambiance of the space and the great feel of the venue. The couple was really happy, and I recently received a LASEA Award for "Best Wedding Produced" partly because Jason's photos really showed off all the work we did to make this wedding a beautiful success. Thanks again and we look forward to working with you!

Jason is an amazing photographer. He has a background in Graphic Design, so it only makes sense that his artist style and composition transcends to his photos. He's got an eye like no other photographer.Jason is a joy to work with and makes every wedding look like a masterpiece.
