In addition to his master’s degree from Professional Photographers of America (PPA) John has  a master’s degree in journalism from University of Southern California and an undergraduate degree in communications from Biola University.  He  enjoys weddings and sees each wedding as an opportunity to take his best photographs. John credits his success to God-given ability and customers who want good photographs.

Associate Photographer Paul S. has a bachelor’s degree in fine art from Brooks Institute of Photography and tied for best wedding print in the state in 2006. He obtained his master’s of photography degree from Professional Photographers of America in 2010.  Paul  was the 2005 Inland Empire Photographer of the Year and was selected as top illustrative photographer in the state in 2008. He is an Adobe Photoshop Expert and a PPA Certified Professional Photographer. Paul limits himself to a maximum of two weddings a month and enjoys photographing weddings with his wife Nancy, who has also studied photography in college. Typically a four-hour  package is required to reserve Paul, with Nancy as the preferred assistant. 

Associate Photographer John M. has photographed at least 1,500 weddings and provided the initial training for studio owner John Kornachuk. John M. has managed a San Gabriel Valley studio for a master photographer and operated his own wedding and portrait studio in La Habra. He enjoys photographing weddings with his daughter Chelsea. 

ASSISTANT PHOTOGRAPHERS:

Often couples ask for a second photographer to be at their wedding.  Assistant photographers are available at the rate of $40 an hour with high resolution digital files included from the assistant photographer included regardless of the package.

Nancy S. first met her husband Paul in a photography class he was teaching at Cal Poly Pomona. Since then they have traveled the world with camera in hand, in addition to photographing numerous weddings together. Hiring Nancy as an assistant is a great way of persuading Paul to take a wedding, as he typically limits how many he photographs.  As a former elementary school teacher and principal, Nancy works particularly well with children.

Samuel Kornachuk starting assisting his father John in 2007 and is a natural with the camera and people.
