Ian Lee Photography

Ian did a great job taking my graduation photos! He made me feel comfortable as he was shooting and even helped with posing so I wouldn’t look so awkward: D. His work ethic is very keen. His ability to capture the right shot and still maintain his professional schedule is superb! He knows his angles, has the right equipment, and even tells you some great spots to shoot at if your spot does not have the best lighting!
Turn around time for the photos were extremely fast and there was a variety to choose from! I would enjoy having Ian taking my photos again for another event! I would highly recommend!

I hired Ian to take family portraits. He was very accommodating and was able to fit us in his schedule on short notice since my daughters were in town from school. He was great to work with and the pictures he took came out great. I would highly recommend him.

Enlisted Ian the photographer in taking action pictures of my dog. The pictures were amazing with the precision and quality you would expect from any good professional photographer. Would recommend him to anyone who needs photos taken. Also has great customer service.

Ian was the photographer for my sister’s engagement party and he couldn’t have been more professional. He was flexible and allowed my family to take whatever photos we wanted, but still had suggestions for more traditional poses. He even helped everyone out with headshots for our LinkedIn profiles! If you’re looking for a professional photographer for a special event, I’d definitely recommend Ian for the job.

Ian is very flexible, professional and good photographer. We hired him for our wedding reception and he worked over time for us for no extra costs! He also sent us a sweet hand written card with the pictures. The pictures were very good and we love them;)

Ian has been a constant fixture for us every year for our kids birthday party. He takes amazing pictures, is very easy to work with especially with kids. I know he will be doing our family events in future too. Looking at all the other 5 star reviews I hope he will still have time for us in future :). He is also from my SJSU alumni :)

Ian is truly an amazing photographer. He shot portraits for me and my girlfriend. Pictures came out great. He’s really responsive and delivers photo quickly. He even gave me a free USB and print. He is talented and definitely worth the money. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a professional and reliable photographer! Thanks Ian.

We book Ian for all my family celebrations! He has been a part of our family events for almost 3 years! Great to work with. I would highly recommend him

My husband and I hired Ian for our twins’ 1^st birthday and he was such a pleasure to work with! Ian is very professional, punctual and just a great guy. We were so pleased with his photos. The birthday felt like a whirlwind and we were impressed how he was was to capture so many great shots of our boys and their friends. Ian did an awesome job and we will definitely ask for his help again for our next big event. Thanks again Ian!

Ian photographed our family of 15 in celebration of our parents’ 50^th wedding anniversary. We started at San Antonio Park and returned to their house to take a few shots around the home setting. We are very pleased with our pictures — getting 15 people, including kids to cooperate is not easy, and Ian was very kind and professional. He captured some really special candid shots in-​between the group shots. We are very happy with the results — the pictures are a treasure!

My mom had been asking for a set of family photos for the longest time, so we finally decided to get them done this winter. We found Ian through Unilocal and the entire booking/​scheduling process was extremely easy and handled quickly via email.
Ian is a sweetheart and fun to work with. I was worried that my parents would be really awkward during the shoot, but I think that overall, we all felt very at ease with Ian behind the lens. I was really impressed with Ian’s ability to shoot from various (and flattering) angles. Honestly, we couldn’t be more pleased with the results! Even my mother, who is usually very critical, said (and I quote), «I have too many that I like».
Pricing is reasonable, we had a huge selection of shots to choose from afterwards, and the turnaround time is fantastic. I’d highly recommend Ian for a Bay Area photo session!

This review is 2 months overdue. We invited Ian to click pictures for our son’s second birthday. He arrived 15 mins before, set up everything and clicked some of the most beautiful pictures before our active 2 year old got messy (again!) :)
He is very talented and he clicked beautiful pictures as he played with the kids. It’s hard to click pictures of little kids (I can attest to that first hand) and get them to look at the camera. But Ian did it so effortlessly while playing with them and engaging with them.
He turned the pictures around quickly and in time. His attitude was very professional. I requested some pictures the same day to share with extended friends and family on Facebook and he accommodated the request and sent us some beautiful pictures.
He was patient if I was busy with guests, as this was a rolling party. It is so important that the photographer blend with the flow of the party (or a wedding) while clicking pictures and Ian did so well. Our guests were totally at ease.
He is a student as well and it is amazing to see such maturity and professionalism in one so young. We would definitely hire him again and highly recommend him to everyone.

Ian did an amazing job!
Given the fact that I was in New York and trying to plan a proposal in Santa Cruz, I had a ton of obstacles to overcome. I expected it to be difficult to find a photographer but I found Ian via Google and these awesome Unilocal reviews. After that, I expected it to be difficult to work with him because of being on different coasts and a majority of experience being in weddings and events. And also, proposals are much more difficult because it’s more of «spur of the moment» occasion… so timing is everything.
Ian was amazing. First off, he was great at responding to e-​mails, texts, and phone calls. Any questions that came about, we worked together in finding a solution. Second, he was extremely prompt about meeting times, and that was super important given the proposal. Third, he was very easy to work with and we took a ton of photos. Fourth, his prices were extremely reasonable for this photo shoot. Fifth, he gave me a personalized USB and wrote me a card.
Ian is a great photographer and I totally recommend him!

My family did a photo shoot with Ian in early June, and at first we didn’t know what kind of an outdoor setting would work well, especially on a day with bright sunlight. Ian recommended the Japanese Friendship Garden in San Jose, and it was a great choice! We met there, and we had one hour to get as many photos taken as possible, in various poses and spots within the garden. My family opted for two sets of outfits. The time we took to change outfits put us slightly over an hour, but Ian was very relaxed about it, and he did not cut off our time at exactly the hour mark.
He took 100+ photos of us and met with us within a week after the photo shoot to give us a flash drive with the photos. I was surprised at how quickly he processed and organized the photos. The pictures turned out amazing! My family picked a few to have Ian get printed and framed — we paid extra for that but I think he has his ways of getting it done cheaper than if you were to print it elsewhere yourself. Ian threw in one extra print of our whole family for free!
Overall the experience was great. With Ian’s professionalism and friendly attitude, posing for the camera was not awkward, and the technicalities of receiving the photos afterwards was very simple and well-​done. I would definitely use Ian’s services for future photo shoots.

been to several events where Ian was hired as a photographer and I must say that I’ve been a fan of all his photos. uses top of the line equipment and for the price I heard he charges, it’s a steal! easy to work with, very reasonable price, and everyone loves his photos, what more can you say?

I hired Ian to take photos at my son’s first birthday party and couldn’t be any more pleased with my decision. Ian was such a pleasure to work with. He is friendly, professional, and always replied promptly to my e-​mails and txts. The photos he took at my son’s party turned out brilliant, super sharp and clear. He captured the full story of the event and I am so happy to have these memories to cherish for years to come. I would highly recommend Ian to photograph any event!

Ian photographed our wedding banquet in December 2012. He was professional and easily accessible. He was open to any feedback and suggestions on what shots to take. I greatly appreciated his fast turnaround time and we were able to get copies of the proofs in less than a month. He also had some nice artistic shots that I wouldn’t have imagined in a crowded banquet room. Thanks Ian for the great work!

Ian did a great job on my Son’s first birthday. The venue was dark but the photographs came out really nice. He took natural pictures of people and captured the moments nicely!

I cannot agree with Tien’s reviews more. That is exactly how I feel about Ian as well. I even have some of his business cards in my bag so I can pass it out when someone is asking for a recommendation for photographer. My wife and I hired Ian for our wedding ceremony and banquet, he is extremely easy to work with, and he is exceptionally professional. I highly recommend Ian for anyone looking for photography service in any occasions! Thank you Ian!

I own a photo booth company and every time I have someone asking me to recommend them a good photographer, the first person I would think of is Ian. I worked with Ian in several occasion, from weddings to parties to corporate events. He is always very professional and easy to work with. His skills are unmatched. You can see his passion and love for photographer in each and every one of his photos. High recommended!
