Kamilia Shin photography

Kamilia was selected as our photographer because we share lots of beautiful, light and airy pictures which was exactly what we hoped for for our wedding. We interviewed her via FaceTime . She seemed really new and really unsure but her work looked really good so I told my fiancé that I really wanted to go with her.

I had some concerns with Kamilia . She didn’t seem to be well known so I just wanted to make sure that we weren’t making a poor choice . She texted me accidentally one time thinking I was a woman who had her husbands phone number and got angry with me (awkward but not a big deal).

The reason for the negative review is because she chose to cancel our wedding . We had paid her in full, we never canceled, we have only ever inquired about the cancelation policy and she decided that based on that one question (which is pretty normal considering the current Covid climate), that she would cancel .

This is so unprofessional. I even replied to her email canceling our wedding letting her know that we are NOT canceling our wedding. She was unwilling to even have a conversation about this and never gave us even the option to discuss it over the phone.

I say, although her pictures are beautiful, do you really want a photographer who will just up and cancel your special day? I am in shock. I am upset and stressed.

I have included her reasoning for canceling below. She just had a fear we could cancel . She didn’t have a personal matter. She chose to throw a huge stress at us because she simply wanted to.

This is not professional and I do not support vendors who do this to brides. Please beware. It’s not about the money. We only have a few monthes until our wedding and very few photographers are available for our date.

So upsetting

When we got engaged, we had zero questions on who will be our wedding photographer - Kamilia was our first and only option.

She captured all our emotions throughout the day and went above and beyond to deliver the best results. Our family members who live overseas and who couldn’t attend the wedding all said that they felt like they lived this day with us because of these photos. Thank you, Kamilia! You are truly the best!

Kamilia was very pleasant to work with throughout the planning process and on the wedding day. She is very kind and flexible. We would definitely recommend her. The photos are beautiful!

Thank you so much for all your hard work.
Kamilia has been a pleasure to work with from our first meeting to the last. She didn’t make my husband feel awkward in photos since he generally does not like the camera haha! The engagement photos, boudoir, getting ready, and wedding day photos are absolutely beautiful, everyone loves them. Your attention to detail, thought, time and care you have put into this is incredible. We could not recommend Kamilia enough. ~Cherry & Bill

We had to postpone our wedding in Thailand due to Covid but we decided to have a mini ceremony on our original date anyways. We were so LUCKY to have found Kamilia as our photographer. She beautifully captured all the important moments, pictures with all our guests while social distancing, and even photos of people who attended via Zoom! It really meant a lot to us to have these moments captured for us to keep and remember how we made it through together even during tough times. My husband is also a photographer and he can be quite picky and technical but Kamilia understood and more than delivered everything we requested.

Trust me, if you book this incredible woman, you will not be disappointed! She is so passionate about what she does, with a journalistic style, has a way to capture everything, all of the energy, the love and emotions of the moment, and transfer it through to her photographs. Kamilia is so lovely and sweet and fun to work with, everyone that attended our wedding loved her! We have shared our album with numerous people, and everyone has been blown away by her art. Having a covid wedding with minimal guests, people that were not able to come have said they feel the joy of the day by looking through our photos. Just absolutely stunning, we could not have asked for a better person to work with. Thank you so much Kamilia, we look forward to working with you again!

Just got a preview and photos look amazing! Sweet woman and very accommodating. For sure worth the price!

Kamilia captured my pre-wedding shoot/civil wedding ceremony beautifully. I picked her after coming across her IG and seeing her timeless, light-filled photography style.

She was able to capture my vision of having a classy, romantic shoot. She made my husband and I comfortable throughout the shooting process, guiding us through various poses and ensuring we covered poses that I
previously sent as inspiration.

Kamilia was a pleasure to work with, her bright personality made us feel at ease. Her pictures came out just as I dreamed! I am so happy she was able to squeeze us into her schedule, she even shot us just a couple weeks before she gave birth! I wouldn’t hesitate to book again with her in the future!

We booked Kamilia quite far out from our wedding (almost 2 years) and at the time she had a very bright, cozy, up-and-coming photographer style which my wife and I both LOVED at the time she only had 400 followers and was definitely growing! Over the two years unfortunately (for us) her style changed to more editorial and less "real world" style. Working with Kamilia was a great time, the photos that we did get were great, I was however disappointed that my photo shot list was not followed (I got less than 1/2 of what I sent to her as mandatory photos) and felt like a bit of an inconvenience for asking for specific photos the day of (which no bride should have to worry about on her wedding day). We were also wedding number 3 or 4 that week so she just seemed burnt out and not present. I also had some very important moments such as mother daughter photos and couple photos (we are a same sex couple) where one of us isn't looking at the camera, or we are posed super funky so it just looks uncomfortable but we still got those photos and they were the only one of that moment. Seemed like she was looking at more of the photo as a whole and less of the people in it. For someone super focused on the little details I would give them an 8/10 for what we were wanting but overall she has beautiful work. As long as you communicate what you want ahead of time, and understand her style of work you will not be dissapointed!!!

Kamilia is a fantastic photographer and is clearly passionate about what she does. We loved her style of photography and her ability to pose us and give us directions. Her communication was top notch throughout the whole process. We did our engagement and wedding photos with Kamilia and couldn’t be happier. Please book with her! You absolutely won’t regret working with her.
