Toyo Miyatake Studio

We chose this studio for our son’s high school graduation photos and they turned out beautifully. Alan is the consummate professional — he answers his emails promptly, takes his time in the studio to get the best shots, develops the photos in a timely manner, and his pricing is fair. He will work with your ideas and offers his expert opinions as needed. As a bonus, Alan is fun and has a great personality. The Toyo Miyatake name has always had the best reputation and it is gratifying to see that Alan has kept up the excellent standards started by his father and grandfather.

My husband just came back from this studio and keeps raving about this place and the owner/​photographer, Alan. Alan helped my husband (who was very nervous at the beginning) relax and have a great time shooting. Everyone at the studio was also friendly. Great price for the great value. Definitely recommend this place above all others!

Beautiful photos from a wonderful photographer. It was great working with Alan. He is very professional and does a great job. We were so pleased to have him help us take our family portraits. Although the photos are more expensive, he was upfront about the pricing (no hidden fees) and he tried his best to work with our budget. In the end, we received the best studio picture ever! Before my siblings moved away, we took family photos every year at various different studios, so we have definitely been to over a dozen different studios. Toyo Miyatake is probably the most expensive one, but when we saw the quality of the photos, it was obvious why he charged more. In the end, we are very happy to have chosen Alan this year to capture our memories.
Thank you for everything, Alan!

Alan’s dad did my high school grad photo about a b’zillion years ago. Alan did my wedding some 35+ years ago. He’s been taking photos of my kids/​family since. He also comes to my school where I teach to take photos of the students annually. He is an upstanding professional who also volunteers/​contributes in many ways to the community.

Just worked with Alan on a wedding luncheon yesterday. As a wedding planner, Alan was so easy to work with. Went with the flow, showed up early, got all the photos done on time, really calmed the couple and the guests during all of the shots, and was there ready to shoot every time something was happening. I could tell right away that he’s been doing this for a long time.
There’s definitely a sense of calmness and professionalism with Alan that I think helps clients relax and enjoy the moment. I really hope we can work together again!

My granddaughter and I just took a portrait… we had a great time and the picture came out great! Loved the quality and the service. Great with children.

This photographer – Allen is a pro in every aspect. I highly recommend Toyo Miyatake Studio when it come to professional photography. His Mother In Law – Mae Masumoto was surprise and happy we had chose her Son-​In-​Law to do our wedding photos. Memories are a life time; and, in this case – it’s no exception. Thumbs up! A++++

LOVE this place. The owner is VERY friendly, and the workers here always greet you with a smile and everything. My brother’s basketball organization (Monterey Park Mustangs) always come here for their team picture every year (with like roughly 20 teams in their org) and Toyo Miyatake gives us all a great group discount rate. Everything here is done to perfection, and the front is very welcoming and beautifully set up for you to sit and wait. They have plenty of different props to incorporate in your pictures, too.
Everything here is very elegant and high quality. They even give you an option of retaking your picture over and over until you find the perfect one that you like the best.
I’m wid it.
