J Choi Photography, Justin Choi, Bay Area Photographer

Friday, February 11th, 2011

In this life, Justin Choi has a passion for two things: photography and cars. It’s no wonder that he began taking pictures many years ago as a hobby and it has successfully bloomed into his business, J Choi Photography. Today as an automotive photographer for BMW, he has effectively combined his love for cars with his love for photography.

Justin has a great deal of experience and know-how behind the camera, which he takes with him into every new photography job. While automotive photography is his first love, he also enjoys photographing weddings, parties and other special events, capturing distinctive portraits of people, and unique architecture, shooting interior design for Los Gatos homes and real estate throughout the Bay area, photographing new products, and finding a unique perspective of the gorgeous California coast.

As a fantastic Bay area photographer, Justin is our first choice. We have had the pleasure of having Justin as our photographer ever since he took pictures for us at our client Halloween Party a few years ago. Since then he has taken our annual Christmas family portraits, as well as captured all the fun at our Launch Party when we first went live with The Home Lounge website.

While Justin normally services the greater Bay area of coastal California, he is not opposed to going further afield if that special job calls for it. Justin is proud to provide excellent pictures at more reasonable prices than his competitors and turns around the final products quite quickly.

We are proud to call J Choi Photography one of our Preferred Vendors, and now you can see why! You can see more of his great photos on the J Choi Photography Facebook Page.
