Booked One Week Before the Wedding

From Colleen

“They exceeded every expectation… We booked just one week before my wedding day and they provided the whole experience, plus some!

They were in communication from 5:30AM, sending GPS location updates and even a photo so I wouldn’t stress…

We had sneak peeks fast, raw photos to choose from, and the finished edits in a week. They even delivered extra edits as a bonus.

Booking last minute, I wasn’t expecting much, but they made me feel like I booked them a year ahead.”

Her final thought says it all:

“Who could live up to Stephanie & Son?”

Son & Stephanie Le

We’re Son and Stephanie photographers, partners, and storytellers based in Southern California. Last Minute Photoshoot started as our way of slowing down a fast world. We believe connection is everything, the glance between two people, the quiet laugh, the moment before the “yes.”

Our vision is simple: to connect with people one photo at a time. Every shoot, whether planned months ahead or booked last minute, is an opportunity to remind ourselves and our clients that life isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence.

Through our lens, we aim to capture truth, emotion, and connection the kind of moments you can feel years later.
