Fantastic Photo Duo
Wira and Joy are such a fabulous team! We were thrilled to have them be our wedding photographers. They captures tender moments, as well as special, hilarious, and all around beautiful parts of our day. They went the extra mile and moved forward with our plans to shoot at the beach, despite rain and drizzle and we ended up with the most gorgeous photos. Thank you Wira and Joy.

Beautiful, Unique and Creative Photos with the BEST Team!
Wira and Joy of Maxwell Studios were an absolute dream to work with! They captured our day so beautifully, but more importantly, they captured us a couple perfectly. Our pictures are so custom to who WE are as a couple and to the overall vibe and style of our wedding, which is hard to find in photographers. Their creative eye and unique style sets them a part from the rest and makes them a top notch team! Wira also took our engagement photos and i was blown away that he was able to capture our chemistry after only meeting us one time. I could not have asked for a better or more positive experience! Working with Maxwell Studios is a 12/10 experience for beautiful photos that stand out from the rest. These are photos we will cherish forever, and I am beyond thankful! Wira and Joy are warm and loving people who truly care about their clients, which is so refreshing and hard find. You will not only love the finished product, you will also love the artists who capture your big moment! Thank you Wira and Joy!"

Amazing Photographers!
"We were so happy we booked Maxwell Studios for our wedding. We had spent so long trying to find a quality photographer in our price range, and the second we stumbled on Maxwell Studios' website, we knew they were the right choice. Wira and Joy were so kind, calm, and flexible. My husband and I were planning our Southern California wedding from Chicago, so we could not meet them in person until the wedding day. However, they made time to facetime with us before the big day. On our wedding day they arrived on time (even though they had to drive all the way up to the mountains in the pouring rain), and rolled with the punches as we tried to make our outdoor wedding work on a rainy day. During the ceremony and reception they were so stealthy, snapping away photos without interrupting the flow of the day. I would 100% recommend Maxwell Studios to anyone who asked. we are so stoked to see the photos!"

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Maxwellstudios Photography (Wira & Joy)!
From our first meeting, my husband and I knew that we wanted to book with them. We met with Wira and immediately felt at ease with him. His kindness reeks through and his portfolio was amazing. As soon as we got in the car to drive home from our initial meeting, we knew we wanted to have him do our photos. Our engagement session was so much fun and Wira took his time and had great ideas for cool photo opportunities. When we got them back, we were over the moon with happiness over them. They were insanely beautiful! We were planning to get married across the country so we weren't sure if we would be able to have them for our wedding. However, after getting our engagement pictures back and knowing what it was like working with him, we knew we wouldn't be happy if we hired someone else. He was so incredibly flexible and patient with us because we changed our venue and dates quite a few times before finally deciding to get married on the east coast. During our wedding day, Wira & Joy captured so many beautiful moments. We got our pictures back in a beautiful wood box- it was so delicately packaged. It was so lovely to receive so many cherished memories in such a nice way. I can't even describe how much I love our wedding pictures. I always cry looking back on them because they were able to capture so many raw and candid moments, especially the emotional ones, and I'm just so grateful that they were willing to make the trek all the way to the east coast for our wedding. I've recommended him to other friends getting married because they are simply the best. If you're on the fence about booking them, just DO IT. You will not regret it. Your pictures will be stunning and amazing, and unique to you!! Thank you for EVERYTHING Wira & Joy!!!

Wira and his wife are a great dynamic duo!
"Much like his brother Hendry, Wira shares the same passion for his line of work. We were laughing, getting great pictures and just enjoying the vibe off each other so well. I don't think there was ever a slight hint of frustration out of anyone, Wira was prompt, professional and engaging. What more could you ask for in a photographer? I highly recommend Wira and we cannot wait to see some of the memories we have captured! "

Absolutely loved working with Wira and Joy
From our engagement pictures to the day of the wedding they were phenomenal. They are so easy to work with and a pleasure to just be around. They made everyone feel very comfortable the entire day and were so flexible with my wants. They were both really organized and their experience definitely shined. They helped keep the day stay on schedule and made sure to capture all of the little details. I have no regrets booking Maxwellstudios photography and would highly recommend them! Photography was my number one most important vendor for my wedding and they definitely delivered.

One of my best memories of the day was when we went and took pictures during the break..
"We want to apologize to Wira and Joy for taking so long to put in our review. If you do not used Maxwell Studios; you might as well not get married. They took pictures of my cousin's wedding. When we first met Wira I told him how great my cousin's wedding pictures were because the pictures seemed effortless. I can't even recall Wira and Joy in the background taking pictures even though I was in the wedding party. They are so professional and so accommodating. One of my best memories of the day was when we went and took pictures during the break. We had our 5 yr old daughter with us and when she didn't want to be in the pictures; Joy went out of her way to watch her and take individual pictures with her. Like I said before, they are so thoughtful and accommodating. We love our pictures of our wedding and could not have imagined using anyone else! I can honestly say I don't have a single bad thing to say about Maxwell Studios!"

Exceptional photographers!
"Wira & Joy shot our engagement photos and wedding photos and we could not be anymore happy with the professionalism and quality. Their entire team worked seamlessly the entire day and even stayed extra time without any hesitations. The photos were delivered in a few weeks; all processed beautifully. If you are looking for a fair, professional, kind, and caring photographers please hire them! My sister, and cousin used them for their weddings as well and they'll be shooting my other cousins wedding this winter!"

Maxwell Photography was absolutely wonderful to work with! They are nice, professional, calm, & efficient. I would choose them again in a heartbeat!!
"I found Maxwell Photography on WeddingWire and I’m beyond happy that I chose them as our wedding photographers. Wira & Joy were such a pleasure to work with. When I met with them they were so nice and professional. They have a very calming presence which was refreshing because wedding planning isn’t always easy. I selected a package that included our engagement shoot, and I fell in love with the photos they took. Wira has a great eye, and helped us throughout the shoot with poses and ideas. He even got some great shots of our daughter laughing that cake out adorable! Everyone complemented our pictures, and it made me that much more excited for the big day!! The day of the wedding they were perfect!!! Wira & Joy seized every opportunity to capture shots of the bridal party, family, and detail shots. They did a great job of covering every angle throughout the ceremony. They even arrived to the venue early to scout for great backdrops. They were very flexible with timing as our even had ran later than expected. The turn around time to receive our images after the wedding took about 3 weeks and they were worth the wait!! Looking through them it’s as if I’m going through the day all over again. I HIGHLY recommend them for all events!!!"

I wanted to make sure I left a review for this amazing team who shot our wedding in August. I found MaxwellStudios while doing an intense search for our wedding photographer. Let me start off by saying that I love photography and it was very important for me to find someone who took photos that I loved. I didn’t want only traditional posed photos, but wanted someone who could capture the moment and blow me away with their work. Once we found MaxwellStudios, we contacted them and set up a meeting with the photographer Wira. I had so many questions and Wira answered them so well and his portfolio was just amazing. Even though he was a little over our budget, we decided to cut back on some other things in order to get him. It was the best decision we made!!! We knew right away that we wouldn’t be disappointed when Wira let us peek at one photo during our engagement shoot. We were just blown away with the pictures we received for both our engagement and wedding pictures. We had 2 photographers during the wedding, Wira and his wife Joy, who were very professional throughout the whole day. They made us feel comfortable and we did not feel like they were invading our space. Their positive energy and their excitement while shooting made me feel happy and at ease that they were capturing great moments. I definitely recommend MaxwellStudios Photography!!!
Could Not Be Happier
"Wira was nothing but extraordinary throughout our wedding process. We met and he showed us his portfolio which had all different types of photography, he catered to what type of photography that we wanted. We did not have a day of coordinator and he made sure that our day went smoothly. He coordinated with our DJ for the dances, cake cutting and bouquet toss, He was not only a photographer but but also helped our timeline to stay on schedule. He stayed longer than he promised to stay and captured some of the most beautiful pictures. I can not wait to see the rest. "

You couldn't pick a better photographer
"Wira was incredible from the very first conversation I had with him over the phone. I lucked out, and was able to book his services less than a week before my surprise proposal. He was very flexible with my plan, which involved me catching a plane from Minnesota and meeting him at Laguna Beach. Wira was very timely and arrived at our agreed location 15 minutes ahead of time, allowing us to use our extra time to find the perfect spot on the beach for the surprise proposal. The amount of attention, care and creativity he exhibited during the photo-shoot was worth every paid minute. After carefully selecting and editing the photos from our session he sent us a DropBox link for our viewing pleasure. Not only did his photos show how experienced Wira is at his craft, but more importantly they told a story. The photos expressed the nerves I had before my Fiancé arrived at the beach. They reflected the raw emotions in that first split second when we saw each other at a distance across the beach. And most importantly, the photos captured the pure joy and happiness when she said 'yes'. If you intend to propose anywhere in the Orange County area, you couldn't pick a better photographer. "

Dream Come True
"It was a dream come true to work with Maxwell Studios. So reasonably priced, yet the product was of the highest quality and captured all the special moments of our day so beautifully. They were so lovely to work with inter-personally, and we couldn't imagine having anyone else there to document the beauty of that day. The pictures themselves are gorgeous, touch-ups were always flawlessly done, and our photo book came out exactly how we wanted. We've already been recommending them to all our friends getting married in the area!! Thank you, Maxwell Studios!!!!!! We are so grateful. "

Wira and his team did a phenomenal job shooting our wedding
"During the ceremony, he blended into the crowd and we never noticed him, which we loved. He was very professional and extremely accommodating when going a little off schedule. He knew his way around shadows and knew how to use the light to his advantage. He did an amazing backlit picture of us as the sun set that looks just magical. We are so grateful for the beautiful picture he took. We highly recommend!"
