Nice guy, needed to get an ID photo, and he is able to do it really quickly with nice quality photo and prints within 5 mins. He also accepts venmo which is nice.

If you are still unsure if you should hire Hank Nam and his team - DO NOT HESITATE! My husband and I got married over 5 years ago and we still love seeing the pictures and the video! Not only did we get a lot of compliments regarding the video and photos, the whole day was just smooth because the whole team and Hank were just amazing (I.e., we didn't even notice that they were there). Lastly, I totally was amazed how much he cares about his work. He kept our wedding video over 5 years ago and sent it to me when I needed a copy of it! Thank you Hank Nam! Please keep up the great work!

We took some family photos here yesterday. We brought a family dog with us, so it was not easy for Hank to take pictures, I know, but he was very professional and patient. Amazing experience! We highly recommend.

Finished up my photoshoot with Hank about two hours ago. This guy is a godsend. I'm clueless when it comes to photography. Hank was able to put me in locations with the perfect lighting and would tell me every single adjustment to make to make my pose look natural and bring out the best aesthetics. He know what will make you good and tell you exactly how to pose. Fantastic experience with Hank! Book this man right now!

We used Hank for our wedding and decided to use him again to take our family photos. Hank was terrific and helped choose a location for us nearby that was terrific. He was great with our 18-month year old son and was able to take a wide variety of shots of him in different locations and outfits. Mid-way through session, we were getting tired and Hank was patient and suggested we take a break before starting up the session again. From start to finish, Hank was professional, energetic. We're happy with how the pictures turned out and look forward to using Hank again for our next shoot.

My husband and I decided to go with Blue 22 Photography (Hank) for our engagement and wedding photos. Hank was very kind and professional each time we met with him! He worked incredibly hard and produced amazing photos for us, capturing all our happiest and special moments celebrating with our family and friends. Hank's turnaround time from taking our photos to producing our photos was also as promised. He is trustworthy and his work met all our expectations! I plan to use Hank for any future photography needs. My husband and I highly recommend him!

Oh MAN! Hank is the BEST. I needed him to photograph a marriage proposal and he was brilliant. Firstly, he's extremely friendly and personable. It was infectious! But Let's talk about the actual moment. This was a a proposal, meaning we only had one shot at it. Hank arrived early and set up. We rehearsed with the gentlemen who was proposing and when the big moment came, Hank was all over it! He then took the couple around to different spots to get a little post engagement shoot!

The whole experience was just wonderful. He was prepared even though it was a night time outdoor shoot and he was very professional. The cost was exactly what I expected. I know this review is just a drop on the ocean compared all the other amazing ones but I can't overstate how great everything was!
