One of my most memorable photo shoots – Joy and Ryan’s destination wedding in Kauai, HI.

Amanda and Ryan
We had a small immediate-family only destination wedding. We had a friend take pictures. When we got home and saw the photos we knew that we had made a mistake not hiring a professional wedding photographer. A friend of ours had used Greg Bumatay for their wedding and we loved their photos. We decided to do a re-shoot with Greg. He came up to LA on a Sunday and we honestly got the most stunning, romantic photographs. I was thrilled with all levels of service – the photography was obviously amazing but Greg’s professionalism, easy-going nature, and quick follow-up made it a truly pleasurable all-around experience. We will happily hire Greg in the future.

Greg did a phenomenal job on our wedding pictures and so I called him again for a photoshoot with my son. Once again, I’m enthralled of how the pictures turned out. Greg is easy and fun to work with. He is also very patient and playful. I truly recommend Greg Bumatay for all types of events.

RJ Bautista
He has done our wedding and just recently did a photoshoot with our brand new child. His work is top notch and was a pleasure to deal with throughout the whole entire process. Just from our wedding alone we had several friends use him as their wedding photographer.

Karly Rufi and Branden Gabel
An unbelievably artistic, professional, fun and enjoyable photographer. I don’t believe there are any other photographers out there that can even compare to Greg’s photographic abilities. You know that the instant you meet him he will be a joy to work with, and that he truly does have a passion to ascertain perfection and to remain the best. Then you get your pictures back……and…….he shocks you again!!!! His pictures will astound you, take your breath away and put you back in the moment as if you were there one more time. Having said that you would be a fool not to use Greg:)

After seeing Greg Bumatay’s website and blog, we had incredibly high expectations and he more than exceeded them. He was, without a doubt, our favorite vendor and the best money spent for our wedding. The pictures are vivid, artistic and beautifully composed. When I saw the first images from our wedding, I teared up because Greg captured meaningful moments and details in ways I could have never imagined. To top it all off, he’s a pleasure to work with. We really enjoyed having him and Neil as a part of our big day.:)

Greg Bumatay is an incredible wedding photographer. He brought his artistic eye to our wedding and put our entire group at ease, which resulted in amazing photos! We’ve had so many people tell us they look like they came out of a magazine. We had so much fun working with him that throughout the process, my husband kept saying we needed to do this again! We can’t thank him enough for making the day as relaxing and enjoyable as it was.

Kathryn Dubman and Michael Mueller

Chiara Njoo and Vincent Ko
I started looking for a wedding photographer for my former roommate and got to thinking ahead. I had seen Greg’s website and once I found his blog, I literally followed his every adventure in wedding photography. Six months later, when my fiance (now husband) and I got engaged, I knew that we needed to make an appointment with Greg Bumatay. We booked with Greg for our wedding and we absolutely love the way he works and the results! I kept saying that I stalked Greg for one year (six months before my husband and I even got engaged!)… Greg is not only fun to work with, he is also creative and very encouraging! He really has a way with people and was able to take my fiance and I out of our “shell” during our photoshoot. He was also a good sport while taking our family pictures (we had almost 70 people in one family picture)! During and after our wedding, we kept getting compliments for choosing Greg! My Dad absolutely loves the pictures and the entire family can’t wait to see the finished album:)

Shannon Webb and Adam Bonner
We loved our pictures, they were outstanding. We’ve gotten so many compliments and had so many people comment on how great our wedding photographer was. His style was exactly what we were looking for. Beyond that, Greg was just a really nice person and enjoyable to work with. We would definitely recommend him to others, and in fact we have to other friends who are getting married!

Elizabeth Balicki and Todd Langus
Absolutely!!!! Greg Bumatay is one of the best wedding photographers I’ve come across. He is professional, creative, cute and has a great sense of humor!!!

Greg Bumatay is very easy to work with and has a lot of great ideas. Everyone we showed our pictures to were very impressed. We are so excited to have him doing our wedding pictures next month as well and would recommend him (and already have). I LOVE pictures and I am always the one to have my camera on me. With Greg, there is no need for me to have my camera, as he captured all of our moments!

Kasia Bieszczad and Dan Berlau

Greg Bumatay was fantastic and we have gorgeous photographs!

Greg Bumatay and his team are a dream to work with!

Sophia Seng and Josh Root
Greg was a delight to work with as his professionalism was just as i hoped. He took command of the photo shoot when he needed to and he disapeared into the crowd to get those casual shots. I was truly impressed to see him ALWAYS looking for the next creative and artistic shots. My Wife and I were excited from the day we signed with Greg Bumatay and they did just as they promised. Thanks Greg, Josh Root

Nicole Cangey and Bill Richardson
The thing that i liked about Greg Bumatay was that he knew how to make us relax and just be ourselves.  He made the day go by nice and smooth and i love the fact that he catches the candid shots.

Jocelle Liong and Harry Hu
Greg Bumatay has been a great wedding photographer. He is easy to work with and very professional. Our wedding is less than two weeks away and we’re both excited. Greg has been on top of things and has informed us of his photo plans for that day in advance. We had a great time getting our engagements shots done, where Greg was very creative in his style. We highly recommend him.

Elizabeth Green and Joshua Davis
We havent even had our wedding (its in 26 days) but our engagement session with him was great. He is super easy and nice to work with! Im looking forward to our wedding pictures
