Christina D. Sent on 11/16/2019A photographer who is worth every penny! Don't miss out!
Sean was recommended to me while I was wedding dress shopping in Pasadena. I scheduled a meeting, liked his work, and hired him for my wedding. A few weeks prior to the wedding, Sean and I met to go over the final details and get everything set up for the big day. The day of the wedding, Sean and his assistant were on time, professional, and worth every penny. Sean must have walked miles upon miles - he was moving all throughout the ceremony and reception looking for great shots. I loved having him there and really am happy that we hired him. Do not miss out on a photographer who (1) knows what he is doing, (2) is a complete professional, and (3) such a nice guy. He is incredible and you will NOT be disappointed with his work. -

Nora S. Sent on 12/28/2018Sean J Mason should be your wedding photographer too!
I was married in 2017 and Sean was the photographer. He was recommended to my then-finance by a friend whose judgement we trusted. My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Sean at our wedding. He really listened to our requests as well as our questions prior to the wedding and was at the church and ready to go before we arrived ourselves. Sean captured all the right moments and created lovely images of each of our guests as well as of ourselves without any of us being aware of his presence! Besides his obvious photographic skill, Sean has the gift of a calm yet reassuring personality. I never doubted that he had his part of our celebration completely under control. What a blessing!
He ultimately took over 440 photographs and made them available to us on a flash drive. Based on the type of photograph album we chose (and he has many, many examples of beautiful albums of every kind in his studio) he advised us regarding placement of the photos, what kind of enhancements we might like (black & white, added text or different colored backgrounds for example) and sent us proofs of each of the pages before we ordered the album. The album, created in Italy, was sent to Sean's studio where my husband and I picked it up. We were so thrilled with the result that I specifically asked Sean if I could recommend him online.
Use Sean J Mason as your wedding photographer - I promise that you too will be thrilled. -

Jacky Sent on 09/27/2011Sean was great from start to finish. We booked him a year in advance. We accidentally overslept for our pre-wedding meeting and he was able to be flexible and shift things in his schedule to make sure we had our meeting. Day of wedding he was great. He arrived on time and began shooting right away. His assistant was also great. So far from the sneak peaks he sent us on facebook, the quality of his work is high! We look forward to getting our disk next week and we know if our album reflects the albums in his studio, then we will be extremely satisfied. -

Jessica Sent on 04/26/2011Sean took the photos for my wedding and we were very happy with the results. You won't notice he's even there at the ceremony/reception and he's willing to go along with whatever schedule/timeline you have for the day. I didn't have the traditional photography time available, but we managed to get great shots in the short time we did have. I also love the fact that he gives your photos in high-resolution format on a DVD. For anyone looking to have GREAT photos and don't want to break the bank, Sean is the photographer for you. -

Jennifer Sent on 05/25/2009Hands down Sean was our favorite vendor! Its sooo difficult to find a photographer of such high quality within a reasonable price range in L.A. We were looking for a photographer who could capture beautiful moments, classy pics, who was completely unobtrusive...that was Sean. He is very laid back and puts you completely at ease. I found him when visiting The Ivory Suite (side note: did not buy my wedding dress there but completely recommend. Wife, Gina, is so friendly and professional. Gorgeous dresses!) and sat down to talk to him too. I immediately felt comfortable with him. Our biggest fear was that we would have some cheesy photographer, instead his pictures are simple and classic, amazing! He doesn't try to do too much to them w/ special effects, his pics speak for themselves.
It was very easy to get a hold of him and meet with him. We had an engagement session (highly recommend!), where he got to know us and let us take our time. He knew the type of "look" we were going for and also explored different ideas. I think he enjoyed it as much as we did! The day of the wedding we barely knew he was there. He was very good with my family, which is usually all over the place, especially my 5 yr. old nephew who kept trying to get in all the pics! His asst, Jeremy, was great too! We had both of them all day/night! His packages are VERY reasonable. I say, book him while you can!!

Kelsey Sent on 02/20/2009Sean is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Though we had a very sticky budget situation, Sean worked with us to help add and eliminate things we didn't and did need. He went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make the process so smooth!
Sean is very quick to respond and was super flexible with meeting times. Any concern I had, Sean would settle within a matter of hours. He has a very easy going personality that immediately set my camera-shy self and my husband at ease. He is incredibly professional and yet friendly and personal. The photos turned out so much better than I ever imagined!
The value for what you get is incredible. Obviously Sean is either undercharging or simply still gaining in popularity because he could have charged us four times as much and it still would have been worth it.
If you get his assistant, it is his wife Gina. I worried at first about this since you never know if the assistant will be as good, but Gina got some of my favorite shots. Sean has a great eye and is very good about setting everyone at ease during the day. I felt like I barely saw him at the wedding, but when we got the photos, I was blown away by them and kept saying "Wow you were everywhere that day!". His style was so unobtrusive and laid back that he allowed my day to just "happen" and he captured it all. I love him for that! The album we got from him is of incredibly quality that we will cherish for years to come!
Sean was by far the BEST vendor I had for my entire wedding. I cannot say enough good things and have recommended him to everyone I know. If you have any doubts, seriously just meet with him once and look through his work and your mind will be made up! -

Breanna Sent on 12/04/2008Working with the Sean and Gina was the most pleasant of all of my vendor interactions. From the moment I met with them, I knew that I'd made a great decision. They managed to capture all of our special moments while remaining transparent....amazing. Most of my guest were surprised that they'd even been photographed. My husband and the groomsmen had so much fun that they still talk about their photo session when they get together.
WARNING: It will be harder than you've ever imagined to narrow down your photographs for a book....don't say I didn't warn you.
So here is my grading scale:
Punctuality:A+
Personality:A+
Pictures:A+
Pride in work:A+
Praises: A+
Price: A+
Bet you wish you had that report card! (LOL) -

Nicole Sent on 11/04/2007Sean is such a calm and confident professional. He has a vision and knows how to capture those moments when you don't even know he's around. He will make anyone feel relaxed and comfortable. He is not forceful but knows how to gently guide you in any situation. Check out his web-site and you will see for yourself the quality. He does have album services that make it a bit easier to get those follow-up, complete packages you want.
