DeJohn Photography

It was a beautiful Southern California, December morning.   The Manhattan Beach strand was teaming with locals and tourists.  Driving in from the San Fernando Valley our family could be grouped somewhere in the middle.  Instead of wearing their swim suits our kids had on their holiday best.  This day they were going to have a special photo shoot with the man himself.  They'd been talking about it all week leading up to our meeting.  We walked from the parking lot a very short distance to the sand.  The kids were yelling as they 1st got a glimpse of the man in the big Red Suit.  There he was, much taller than I imagined, and the beard of his chin WAS as white as the snow.  Our 7 year old went right up and introduced himself as our much quieter 4 year old stayed behind.   Mark DeJohn introduced everyone and with a wink of his eye and a twist of his head the shoot was underway.  The kids had so much fun as they each got time alone with Santa, not only to take pictures but also to go over their Christmas wish lists.  Mark was so professional and works great with kids.  We had so many quality pictures that were sent to us on a CD we had a hard time choosing which to have printed and which to use for our Christmas cards.The whole experience was unforgettable for our kids and they want to do it again this Christmas.  Thank you Mark for your creativity and more importantly for saving us from having to visit Santa at the mall!!

We have been going to Mark for years for our family pictures.  His work is amazing and his prices are so reasonable that you can actually afford to keep coming back.  Love getting my pics on a CD and being able to have a photo shoot wherever we want.  His turnaround time is great (which is perfect b/c I always wait until the last minute to book for our holiday picture).  He is professional, creative, reasonably priced and a very sweet individual!

I just opened a yelp account but I've been meaning to review this business. Mark is awesome! He did engagement photos for me. As I proposed to my wife at Shoreline Village in downtown LB, Mark hid and caught the whole event on camera. What great pictures! Mark also did an excellent job on our wedding photos.  Took almost 1000 pictures and put them on a disc for us.  He captured so many moments and hidden gems throughout the venue and the night that we wouldn't have otherwise noticed or captured.  Now we will have these memories forever!  Mark also took some beautiful family photos of us when our son was born.  He got some very cool angles, which I love.  I highly recommend his services! Thanks Mark! More...

Mark DeJohn was referred to me by my future sister-in-law and when I saw some of the pictures he had taken of his other clients, I knew he had to take our photos too.  We recently had our engagement photos done and he instantly made us feel very comfortable.  He had many creative ideas for what turned out to be beautiful photos and was even open to our ideas.  He made the entire shoot a lot of fun and we can't wait to see what he captures at our wedding!

What's the perfect gift for a man turning 50 who has everything he could need or want?  Boudoir pics, of course!I found Andrea here on yelp, and with all of the excellent reviews, I decided to give her a try.  The entire experience was amazing, start to finish.  She arrived at our house exactly on time, helped me pick out which outfits would work, and was very creative with the use of our space.  We took pictures both indoors and outdoors.  I'm sure many women are a bit nervous going into this like I was, but Andrea did a great job of making me feel at ease and confident.  I had a blast!The best thing of all was that Andrea was under a bit of a time pressure because we did our shoot slightly less than two weeks before the big event.  She quotes 2-3 weeks turnaround, but she worked hard and had the finished product in my hands on time.  I really appreciated her desire to accommodate me.End result?  A very happy birthday boy.  He loved the book she created and the fact that we have the disk and he can pick out his favorites to print ourselves.Thanks Andrea!  :) More...

What can I say that hasn't been said already, but I will try. With Andrea you are in great hands. She makes you feel like the most beautiful girl in the world. Like a super, sexy beast. As women who work full time, go to school, take care of kids and family members, try to cook and clean, and comfort everyone else, we can forget how wonderful, sexy, and complex we are! If you ever need a beautiful reminder, please go see Andrea. Through her lens you will be able to understand how beautiful you truly are. More...

All I have to say is AMAZING!!The whole experience was incredible.  We decided to use my uncles house since it is beautiful.  I brought so many outfits, as I really didn't know what was going to work best.  Andrea and I choose the best ones.  I was totally nervous even though I previously knew Andrea.  We started off just getting comfortable with the camera around.  But within a few minutes of her guiding me, I was totally into it.  She made me feel so beautiful and comfortable.  She even showed me some of the photos on the camera during the photo shoot.  When I picked up my book, I couldn't believe that was me in those photos.  The lighting was perfect.  The way that she captured me was fantastic.  There was not one photo that I did not like or would not be comfortable showing anyone. I am so going to do this again in the near future.  Just for me!  They were the best photos I have ever taken and I am proud to show them off!I would highly recommend ANYONE doing this.  Even if it's just for themselves.  It will give you a confidence that you never thought that you had.  Andrea is an amazing photographer and and incredible person.  And she will show you that we care al beautiful in every way....

I heard about DeJohn Photography after reading in the local paper that they were named "Best of the South Bay - Best Photographer 2010" and thought I would check them out for my up coming wedding in 2010.  When I met Mark & Andrea DeJohn I knew right away that they are the dynamic duo of photography!  They took the time to understand the shots I wanted, took the time to know what (and who) was important to us and captured intimate and priceless moments of our wedding.   They are very professional, yet so warm and friendly you feel like they've known you for years. Their prices are totally reasonable and their work is totally incredible!  They got us our wedding photos edited and presented in a CD for review without haste.  We've since taken advantage of their holiday specials for Christmas photos!   We've referred friends and family and they have all agreed that Mark and Andrea are "wonderful"!  I just wish we took our engagement photos with them!   But they did start shooting boudoir shots, that I think I will have to do for my anniversary!  From wedding, family to boudoir... DeJohn Photography is most trusted for my family photos! More...
