B I O G R A P H Y

John and Joseph Hong were born and raised in Korea. One of their biggest professional influences has been their father, who was a photojournalist in Korea as well as the owner of a fine-art gallery. Both John and Joseph photographed during their youth; however they both initially pursued careers in medicine. They photographed their first wedding for fun, and realized immediately that documenting life was where their true passion existed. They then resolved to redirect their focus and energy towards wedding and fashion photography. From that point on, John and Joseph have been in a never-ending pursuit of perfection in photojournalism.

Since starting John & Joseph Photography Inc, their wedding photographs have won numerous awards from the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA), and their work has been highlighted in multiple well-known publications. They have also photographed recognizable names, such as NBA players Doug Christie, Chris Webber, head coach Dwane Casey of Minnesota Timberwolves, and Isaac Slade from band The Fray. John & Joseph Photography have since become exclusive personal photographers for Jackie and Doug Christie in both their professional and personal lives. Collectively and individually, John and Joseph are ranked among the top in the nation for wedding photojournalists; John belongs to the exclusive Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association, and Joseph was named the Portrait Photographer of the Year by WPJA.

John and Joseph focus on capturing unique artistic images at every wedding they shoot. This is evident in their consistency of producing high-end products and photos for each and every client. They provide their clients with only the highest quality images, service, and professionalism. Their discreet approach allows you to be comfortable on your wedding day, while allowing them to truly capture the emotions of you, your family and friends.

Thank you, thank you. Words cannot begin to express what an honor it was to have you at our wedding. we had high expectations of your work, but you managed to far surpass them and we are left stunned at how incredible and amazingly you captured our day. More importantly, it was wonderful meeting you and sharing the weekend. You were such a calming presence and kindred spirits, and it is only appropriate that you shared in a special day, celebrating with our closest family and friends. If you ever find yourself in the (cold) Chicago area, please call, as our home is yours. Thanks again for everything. With love, Scott & Seran.

Perry and I just saw our photos - they are truly amazing!! We couldn't be happier w/ them!! Thank you so much for your wonderful work! Hope all is well with you. Thanks again for being our photographers. Yours, Senan and Perry Soriano

We love the pictures! Thanks for all your hard work at the wedding and obviously, afterwards. Several people commented on how great you were, and both Brian and I were extremely impressed- even more so now that we’ve seen the end product! Thanks again for all your hard work! Janell & Brian
We received your album and we totally love it! You guys have such a great vision when you put your books together!! Again, I just want to convey that we are so impressed and overjoyed with the way our wedding photos turned out. We have shared them with so many friends and family members and have received abundant praise for you 2. I also have made sure that any brides-to-be that we know have gotten your information. Thanks again. You've been able to capture the most special day in our lives and helped us to relive the moment again and again! Thanks! - Monika and Lance LaraLin

Oh John - The pictures are AWESOME! :) :) :) Thanks for the ten thousandth time for making our wedding so wonderful - you are fantastic!

Thank you so much for the wonderful pictures. You captured such great memorable moments. As we look through the pictures, all of our feelings from that day came back. You were so easy to work with which made everything so comfortable. Thank you for all your hard work! Cindy & Jae Kim.
Thank you so much. The pictures look fantastic. Linda's relatives saw the pictures and said they should be in magazines. You were also a joy to work with. You did a great job in keeping us calm when things were running late. Also there are couples that are good friends of ours that are getting married in the coming year that we are sending your way. I sure hope they will be fortunate enough to have you capture their wedding. You are awesome. Thank you again for everything. - Linda & Mark
OMG! Wow….the first picture I saw was the black & white 8x10 of me! Stunning! I never looked so good. We received the package late Tues. night thinking it was a wedding gift, boy were we surprised. I think it was about 11pm when we opened up the box. We went through about half the proofs that night and Ed had to tear me away from the box because he knew I’ll have a hard time getting up early in the morning! We haven’t had a chance to look at the rest yet. (Okay, okay……I did skim through the last half when Ed wasn’t looking!) You guys did an AMAZING job. Going through the photos, Ed and I kept asking, “Did you see him take this shot?” “Did you notice the photographers during the ceremony, 1st dance, etc.” We didn’t notice you snapping pictures half the time! My mom is hard to please but I’m SURE she’ll be very happy with the pictures! We’ll probably look through these (at least I will) a million times before we even think about what pictures to put in the album. THANK YOU SO MUCH for capturing this momentous day and for putting up with us and our wacky family and friends! - Maggie & Ed
Hi guys! I just wanted to tell you AGAIN how much I appreciate the wonderful job you did. I am so grateful, so thankful. - Lisa & Gary Blas.
Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures! All the pictures are so precious - they each tell a different story about our wedding day. You took so many pictures that just tugs at the heart..... these are the memories that your heart sees - you put them on film for us. Thank you. - Yoon & Naomi Lee.

John, I must say Ben and I, and our folks, just LOVED looking at the photos! They are just beautiful. We had so much fun, and you and Joey were great. Many of my guests were impressed with you two. And that was before they saw any pictures. Thanks again for everything. Ben and I absolutely loved having you two photograph our wedding. Talk to you soon, Jennifer & Ben Smith.

WOW! I got to take a look at some of the images yesterday while I was at work. I had to stop because I had tears in my eyes when a co-worker walked into my office.

Thank you again! Your work is so beautiful. Thank you for being part of our day, for capturing magical moments, and for sharing your gift with us and our families. We welcome you back to Savannah anytime! - Jennifer & Mario Incorvaia.

A million thanks for all the effort you put into your work. We really are the ones to reap the benefit. Best wishes, Tori & Dave Nunn.
Thank you so much for being a part of our special day! We absolutely love the photographs, they are beautiful! Even better than we expected! Thanks again for everything, you are truly the best! Lisa & Dustin
Wedding Venues Thank you so much for doing such a great job. We have beautiful pictures to remind us of a beautiful day! We appreciate all you've done! - Kaylee & Matt Lewis.
You did a wonderful job! We were very impressed with the quality of your work during our event and even afterwards! We couldn't be more thrilled. I know that we will treasure our photos for a very long time to come! Keep your fantastic attitudes! Very gratefully, Brandon & Jess Lippard.
Thank you so much for the beautiful photos. All of the photos are gorgeous, and they are beyond our expectation. Randy and I are amazed by your work, and we really appreciate your work. - Yoshiko & Randy
Both Steph and I want to tell you how thrilled we are with the photos you
provided. They are fantastic. The moments you captured will now last a lifetime. Thank you so much. We also greatly enjoyed working with you personally. You guys are a lot of fun and we both are glad to have met you. Hopefully, we'll
have a chance to see eachother again at future weddings (we certainly will
be referring you to everyone we can). Thank you again. - Stephanie & John
After seeing the pictures I don't know quite what to say......they are AMAZING. Your style and creative nature captured the most spectacular images imaginable. Greg and I we're both blown away by your work. Being with us from morning to night, the day of the wedding, was a fantastic way to catalog all the day's events. Everyone involved with the wedding (bridal party, guest, and even vendors) couldn't believe how you captured every last detail without being in the way. I hardly even noticed you during the ceremony and not a moment was missed. Not only did we find great photographer's we found wonderful people and life long friends. Thank you so much for your hard work and outstanding professionalism. - Tracy & Greg Miller
Thank you so much! We have enjoyed looking through all of these! You are the best. Thanks again for everything! - Tamara & Damien King.
Adam and I can't thank you enough! You captured the most amazing moments of our wedding day, even the things we never got a chance to see! Adam and I felt so comfortable around you both that we could be our natural selves. Your photos are artistic, inspiring, and will be treasured for years to come. We will recommend you to all of our friends! The best to you both! Sincerely, Shanna & Adam Lofstedt.

Ken and I decided after viewing many of the pictures that they aren't just photos of a wedding. They tell a story. Thank you so much for your efforts at our wedding. We had so much fun! - Avery & Ken Erickson.

Joey, I just wanted to thank you!! You were awesome, you made my day truly wonderful and unforgettable. - Raylynn & Alan Hill.
Thanks so much John. You made my mother's day yesterday! I called her on my way home, and she was looking at the pics for the ga zillionth time! I can't thank you both enough for helping to make it such a wonderful day for us! So many people have told us how impressed they were with you and they've asked how to get a hold of you for their friends/families events. It was such a treat sharing the day with you! Thank you again! - Amanda & Dave Snyder.
Hey! They are perfect!!! I'm thrilled! Thank you both so much. People were really impressed with your creativity at the wedding. Thank you again for your professionalism and all of the great photos. Everybody who has seen the photos raves about them!! - Karen & Kevin Claus.

The pictures are beautiful! You did a wonderful job of catching the smallest most important details---I love the one of us cracking up during the ceremony! ... Thanks, Katie & Ian Stephens.
I have to tell you that more we interact with other vendors during the wedding planning, more I'm impressed with your professionalism. You have by far been the one who has been most professional. I just wanted to thank you for all that you have done for us. Have a great day! Mesi & Dan Parker.
I just wanted to drop you guys a quick note to tell you thank you for being at our wedding - we were very pleased with the job you did! I hope that you enjoyed the opportunity as well. And thank you again! -Heidi & Gus Topete :)

The pictures are GORGEOUS. My mom cried when she saw them. You have such an amazing talent!... Thanks a ton! I hope you had fun at the wedding. I am so glad we have pictures to relive the day... it went by so quickly we noticed later we didn't even take the time to absorb everything... All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you! - Shannon & John Perry.

I would like to formally thank you for all that you have done for us on our special day. The pictures you took from our wedding have far exceeded any of my expectations. Your level of professionalism has made a huge impression on James and I, and the fact that your outstanding service has continued after our wedding day. Your photography is really one of a kind, our pictures tell such a dramatic story of that beautiful day. You are great at what you do! Photography is truly an art and you have mastered it! Again, Thank you. It just doesn't seem to say enough in this circumstance. Best Regards, James & Cassidy Anton.

Congrats though... you have a lot of wonderful pictures to look back on.
