    Wai Reyes is an outstanding photographer and absolutely lovely woman! My (now) husband and I could not have dreamed of a more perfect fit for our special day! Wai was beyond flexible with our wants, needs, schedule and budget! She is extremely professional and detail oriented -which I love as I tend to carry a "slight" OCD gene when it comes to planning! Anyone seeking out a photographer for a wedding, event or just a simple family photographer could not be in better hands than Wai Reyes'!

    From the beginning, Wai was very responsive to my emails. This continued throughout the entire time she was our photographer. We chose Wai because of the amazing work she produces. She knows how to capture those special moments on your special day. From the details, behind the scenes, candids, and those priceless moments. She was very professional and always on time on any of our appointments with her. I would highly recommend Wai to anyone.

    Wai is amazing and I'm in LOVE with my photos! She is personable, has great energy and I immediately liked her when I first met her. And this totally helps when taking photos! I felt like Wai was someone I could trust - she is great with direction and made our picture taking experience fun and comfortable. She is also super responsive with all of our emails and questions and on the day of the wedding, she kept us on track of our schedule. Most importantly, our photos came out beautifully and she was able to document the story of our wedding so magically. Im in love! I highly recommend Wai to all our family and friends!!

    Booking Wai to shoot our wedding was the best decision we could have made. Her timeline helped to create the framework for our wedding day, she coordinated seamlessly with our other vendors and was a joy to have around. While she is not shy with giving direction that really is whats needed in order to get the best shots from your wedding. We have A-M-A-Z-I-N-G photographs which we will cherish for a lifetime and we are looking forward to using Wai in the future for more momentous occasions.

    Wai is the best! My husband and I absolutely agree that it was love at first sight with Wai. As an extremely laid back couple who had no patience for the typical wedding stuff, Wai knew exactly how to meet us half way. My husband and I are NOT a fan of PDA and she didn't make us take the normal lovey dovey photos. She just let us be ourselves and that is what shines through in every photo. She truly found a way to make us feel so comfortable and produce such fantastic photos. Our parents are very traditional people and Wai found the middle ground for all of us. The pictures were creative, she was so supportive, and she was always professional. It didn't feel awkward having her be a part of our big day because she felt more like a friend than our photographer. She caught the absolute best moments of our wedding! I'm so grateful to have found Wai and will use her for any and all future family photos. We are an extremely tall family (averaging out at about 6'2") and Wai is a little thing, but man does she have a big personality and a great sense of humor. She is part of the family now, even if she does bring the average height down. LOVE YOU WAI!!

    My husband and I booked Wai Reyes about a year before our wedding (date of wedding 7/20/2013). After meeting with other photographers, it was her personality and style that really drew us to her. We first met Wai in a Panara Bread shop, and she was so upbeat and positive.
    For our engagement shoot with Wai was the most amazing experience. My husband and I are really goofy and we do not consider ourselves models in any way. We choose the location and Wai had calculated the best time to meet at our location where the shoot took place. I was blown away at how amazing the photos turned out. From the moment Wai had posted a teaser on Facebook, EVERYONE I knew was talking about the pictures and asking me who took them and more.
    The wedding photos are something that everyone was looking forward to. We had the pleasure of working with not only Wai but a 2nd amazing, talented photographer as well. There were 2 photographers, for 9 hours (I think, we requested an extra hour). Wai and the 2nd photographer were really structured so they kept us on schedule to get all the shots that I had requested before the wedding. I had planned the most beautiful wedding myself and I really think Wai had captured all the hard work I put into the wedding.
    Referring to the scores above, Wai is extremely responsive with emails and calls. She is very professional, and I let her take the lead as a photographer to make the photos and take advice from her about shots/lighting/poses/and more. Value is the most important thing and I believe if you work really hard making the most out of your wedding you should have a proper photographer DON'T SKIMP! I know plenty of brides that didn't leave budget for a photographer and they didn't end up with pictures, some were lost, none were taken care of the way Wai does it. Overall, I Wai Reyes is an amazing professional wedding photographer and I think her style and personality really set her apart from others.

    Thanks Wai! xoxo

    Wai is seriously the best choice you can make when choosing a photographer. in the beginning of our search for a photographer (which happened like the day after we got engaged) I was thinking cheaper is better to fit in our already very tight budget- people kept saying to me go big on the photos its the one thing you will regret not doing & I am so glad we listened to everyone instead of going with a low budget photog. Wai was worth every tiny cent that we scraped together. Wai was the first photographer we met with and we fell in love with her instantly. She is charming, responsive, helpful & most of all she becomes a close friend during your planning process which makes your wedding day feel so comfortable and wonderful knowing you have a serious pro by your side all day long.

    Wai is fabulous!
    Out of ALL the vendors and ALL the people who participated in my wedding.. she was the BEST part about my wedding (well.. we loved our pastor too. )

    She is your wedding coordinator/planner/maid-of-honor/best friend. I couldn't have done anything without her. Thank you!

    My wife's family is very large, Filipino, and a little overwhelming. But Wai did a fantastic job of getting plenty of coverage of everyone and everything. She also really captured our personalities in her photography of both our wedding and our engagement session.

    All and all, great experience.

    My husband and I loved working with Wai and are so happy we chose to have her be a part of our big day. She has a great "can-do" attitude and such a fun personality! And we knew she'd make our photos look amazing, so that was never a concern. Not having to worry about that allowed us to enjoy our wedding that much more. She was the best!

    My wedding was in August. It was a beautifully sunny and delightful day that exemplifies sunny southern California! My family and, now, in-laws came from around the world to witness our joyous event! I found Wai from an advertisement on the Orange County web site and I am very glad to have found her! When we first met, she immediately put me at ease and my fiance was joking that we were like long lost sisters! Wai was punctual and very organized! I was so comfortable with Wai that we asked Wai to be our photographer the same day!
    At the engagement photos, Wai was great at making us feel comfortable! And she diligently found different scenes to take photos from, as we walked along the secluded beach walk. When we got out engagement photos, we were pleasantly delighted at the beautiful photos!
    During the wedding, Wai and her assistant were busy flying left and right taking good photos of the entire wedding event! Wai was very organized during the entire afternoon of wedding photos and she handled the many different scenes with poise. She was always trying to make me feel calm and be comfortable! We appreciated her professionalism and passion for her photography! And we're glad that Wai was able to be there for our day and take so many wonderful photos!

    Wai Reyes is such a friendly person and a serious professional. My wedding ceremony and reception ran on a quick schedule and she made sure to snap all the right pictures and several. Not to mention, my reception venue was outdoors in the night time, and the pictures came out clear and great! Wai Reyes truly captured every moment of my wedding and I look forward in looking back at these pictures with my husband for the rest of our lives. I definitely recommend her as a photographer and am sure you will be as satisfied with her work as we are.

    Awesome!!! She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session that by our wedding day, it felt like she was a friend to us. Wai even helped with making sure we were on time during the day. And her assistant was so good in making sure the parents, aunts, and uncles were also comfortable by making them laugh and enjoy their time during portraits. My husband and I love Wai and are so happy we were able to work with her!!

    Wai was amazing! Everyone at my wedding fell in love with her and her work and everyone is excited to use her for their own wedding! Both our wedding photos and engagement photos were beyond beautiful! She is so sweet, innovative, talented, and will make you feel super comfortable even if you hate having your picture taken! She is also very affordable compared to others which is surprising because she literally takes the best photos I have ever seen! There are not enough good words to describe her she will make your wedding complete!!! :)

    We first "hired" Wai to take photos for our Christmas cards back in 2008. My boyfriend (now my husband) and I decided that when we get married, we wouldn't even consider other photographers and, boy, were we DEAD-ON with that decision! Wai is uber nice and friendly, very professional, easy to work with and always leaves a personal touch. It's never just a client-vendor relationship with her. It's really FRIENDSHIP that's why you can tell with the amount of dedication that she puts in her work. I've recommended her to friends and they were all so glad I did!
    Brides and Grooms out there...look no more for a photographer! Wai Reyes is the REAL DEAL!!!!!

    Wai's work speaks for itself, but aside from that Wai is a great vendor to work with. When we first saw her work, we knew we wanted her. Her photos are naturally breath taking and captures the essence. Wai is easy to work with, on top of things, and meets you more than half way. So far we've only seen the preview and her favorite photos and couldn't be any happier! They really took us back to our moment on our day. We've also gotten many compliments from our friends and family too.

    The minute Kate and I met Wai Reyes @Wai Photography we knew we found our visual storyteller. Wai is not only an established photographer she is a photojournalist and a graphic design artist with a funny, warm and engaging personality. Ok, I adored everything about her! Her work speaks for itself and you will always find the story in her indelible use of art and film.
