I can’t say enough amazing things about our wedding photographers Iburi Photography!!! They have been amazing since our first meeting. There was no extra stress from them when we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid, Akari traveled to Ithaca, NY for our engagement pictures with no problem, and then on our wedding day they were absolutely amazing 💕. Then all the little things they have done while we were working with them down to giving our wedding photos and thumb drive in the beautiful wooden box. If you’re looking for a photographer for any reason I can’t say enough positive things about them. Oh and one more thing our wedding photos turned out stunning and they really captured our day perfectly!!!

We loved having Akari and Shin for our wedding. They were absolutely phenomenal. I'm looking through the sneak peek and still wondering how they managed to be everywhere taking photos while seamlessly blending into the crowd. From getting ready to first look through the ceremony and reception, they captured everything so well (my new sister in-law is already asking them about their availability for her wedding). They were so kind and thoughtful the whole day.

If you are looking for an incredible to capture your big day book Iburi Photography now. Akari’s work is incredible and she brings such a positive fun energy. She kept us laughing and having fun throughout our engagement shoot and wedding day. I literally could not imagine our wedding day without her there. I had no fears at all about our photos I knew they would be amazing. They brought my husband to tears when he saw our sneak peeks. Thank you Akari!

We recently hired Shin and Akari for our wedding in New Orleans - YES, they travel!! They are the kindest, coolest, most creative, and professional photographers. So easy to work with, flexible, and passionate about their craft. I cannot wait to work with them again! <3

I’ve tried and am convinced there’s no way to fully capture how amazing Iburi Photography is without writing a full novel so strap in lol. I’ll start with the fangirling, we worked with Akari and not only is she insanely talented, super sweet, and all around an amazing human she’s very much the type of person I would pay to be my best friend given the chance because she is so fun to be around! I seriously love this girl and feel like we’ve gained the coolest friend, which as hidden benefits of hiring a wedding photographer go I feel “unlocking secret friendships” has to rank pretty highly. My husband and I are both awkward introverts but felt so comfortable during our engagement shoot with Akari, it honestly felt like we were all just hanging out. That energy carried through our wedding day as well and brought a lot of comfort to anxious moments! She was somehow everywhere all at once, never missing a moment and our family and friends loved her just as much as we did! Logistically, working with Iburi Photography was a dream as well! The communication was unparalleled, any questions we had were answered quickly and completely, pricing was transparent, meetings were regular, all important information and documents were in our profile on their site, she worked seamlessly with our videographer (Brad with Journeymen Studio!) and it was all so insanely impressive! And the photos truly speak for themselves! The passion and the pure skill are undeniable, as many words as I’ve written here could never be enough to describe the awe we felt in seeing these photos. There was a level of anxiety for me in being a plus size bride, I don’t often see people who look like me represented and have a great deal of confidence issues as a result- but I have never in my life felt as beautiful as when I saw these photos. I see myself with kinder eyes, I see myself the way my husband sees me every day- and that alone is priceless. The way she captured the love between us, between our loved ones, the romance, the silliness… it was nothing short of pure magic. I wholeheartedly recommend Iburi Photography with every fiber of my being (and I’m not just saying that because Akari is #bestiegoals)

I cannot speak more highly for what Akari and Shin have managed to build. Them being skilled photography is honestly second to the ease at which they are able to make others feel comfortable during their photoshoots. Her passion for capturing special moments all while doing so in a casual and stress-free manner makes Akari a must consider if you're looking around for wedding photographers. Also, the studio is absolutely fantastic.

Dama & Erin

I cannot say enough about how amazing this duo is. From engagement photos to our wedding, they have been nothing but the best. They answered any questions we had and made our 2020 wedding perfect even with a venue change in the mix of COVID chaos! Our guests were truly amazed and how many photos were taken and how genuinely sweet and happy they both were to capture our day. I would recommend Iburi Photography to anyone ~ our photos are STUNNING!! We will definitely be using them again for future celebrations.

Lauren & Nick

If you love in the beautiful in the moment shots as well as posed, Akari is amazingly talented and makes it a fun easy experience. Both our engagement pictures and wedding we're perfect. The dancing photos blow your mind. She is the coolest person you'll meet, hard not to have a good time with her.

Jeff & Amber

Iburi Photography are truly the best! Their passion, dedication, and sheer love for what they do enables them to capture all the greatest moments of your wedding and shines through every picture. Their photos will allow us to remember our wedding forever! Highly recommend them hands down!!!!!!

Ryan & Lauren

I used brother/sister team Shin and Akari for my wedding photos, and I can't say enough about them. They are accommodating, fun, sweet, and most importantly so artistically talented! My engagement photos came out wonderful. I wasn't even going to have them done, but they come with the package, and I am so glad I did! They were such a joy to have with us on our wedding day. They accommodated every photo request and kept us running on time! Thank you for everything!!

Scott & Mary

Love this brother sister duo! These photographers took pictures at my cousins wedding and did SUCH an amazing job! So funny, so pro, so quick! No long drawn out photo shoots! Loved it HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Nikki (bridesmaid)

We are BEYOND happy with the talent and artistry this dynamic duo provided during our engagement shoot and wedding day. Not only are both Akari and Shin masters at their craft, they are also incredibly comfortable to work with and easy going. They were like a part of the family during the reception in terms of their class and grace, while their professionalism is top-notch. We are IN LOVE with our photos which capture our energy and relationship so perfectly xo

Alyssa & Mark

We can't wait for Akari and her brother to shoot our wedding. She has such a great personality and it shows through her pictures. We are excited to use them as our photographers for both our engagement session and wedding day!

Lauren & Kevin

They were with us all day and were amazing to work with!!!! The photos turn out better than you could ever imagine!!

Kailey & Cody

The Iburi team is simply amazing! They really listened to what our vision was and made it all happen! I can't even put into words how thankful we are for them, they made the day stress free and really helped with moving things along. Shin and Bella are very talented and we love reliving our favorite day by looking at the most beautiful pictures!

Liz & Dennis

Akari is the best in the business, and I would recommend her for ANY event! She is not only an amazing photographer, but she goes above and beyond to ensure that you have everything you need. We cannot thank her enough for sticking with us and providing us with amazing memories on multiple occasions. Choosing Iburi Photography is a no-brainer!!

RyanMarie & Tyler

Akari and her team are incredible! We couldn’t be happier with them. Her photos are phenomenal and she knows exactly how to pose us to capture great shots. Her personality was the best part of the experience. She and Will easily fit in with everyone, kept everything going smoothly, and even felt as our own personal coordinators at times. I can’t recommend Iburi enough! Book them, you won’t be disappointed.

EJ & Jessie

I have been blessed to know Akari since my freshmen year of college and she has always had the eye and ear for art as she is an incredible photographer and also a musician on the side. As time goes by and technology advances, she continues to grow with it and perfects her craft. Above all that though, her personality is perfection. The best combo of bubbly, professional, funny, and intelligent that you could ever ask for in a person. I hired her recently to take on the task of photographing my beloved dog Copper who isn't super comfortable around new people, and she still managed to get some snaps that perfectly encapsulated his goofy personality. I could not have been happier with the results. I promise if you hire Iburi Photography, you will never be disappointed.

Mel & Mike

Akari did some amazing photos of my two daughters a few years ago. I was so happy with the results that I asked Akari to also do my older daughter's senior portrait. Once again, the results are incredible. Akari is professional, personable, and has a really good rapport with the people she photographs. Plus, the prices are great! Forget all the other photographers you're considering. Iburi Photography is the way to go. I promise you that you won't regret it!

“My gosh, the real deal. Just absolutely incredible all around. Love you guys .

Justine & Justin

She is so wonderful, helpful, enthusiastic and extremely talented! She perfectly captured the day from start to finish! We would highly recommend their service.

Liz & Chris

Akari was an incredible photographer. Captured beautiful moments for us to treasure always. Thank you so much! They took their time with us posed us well and had very quick turn around time for us to get our photos. Thank you again! You are all awesome.

Melissa & Tyler

“Wedding: HANDS DOWN, The best photographers I have ever met in my life. They were amazing. In every aspect. Akari had so much advice for everyone when it came to the whole getting ready process. She knew exactly what to say when things weren’t exactly going correctly. She saved the day a couple times and made sure the bride was well taken care of. Shin was hilarious! He did his thing while all of us girls cackled and destroyed the room as we tore through things to get ready. He listened to us all so well and made sure we captured all the moments any of us could want. The both of them together were by far the most patient people of the night I’d say. The drinks were flowing right after the ceremony and we had to be an IMPOSSIBLE group to work with. But they never showed frustration and always laughed along with us. I also have to say, these were the quickest wedding photos I’ve ever seen done. I know they got all the amazing shots everyone wanted, too. There is nothing worse than spending hours and hours and hours on taking wedding photos when everyone wants to eat and dance and do all that. It felt like we were out there for maybe 45 minutes. It might’ve been a little longer, I guess that’s just how much fun we were having! I can not recommend them enough! Please look no further and book them as your photographers, RIGHT NOW.
