My name is Max Lee, a Korean-born photographer based in San Antonio and the Chippewa Valley. After five years in the Navy and a stint as an engineer, I traded it all for a camera. I shoot seniors, dancers, families, models, and weddings. I work hard to blend editorial style with authenticity and your unique style. When I’m not behind the lens, I’m mentoring other photographers, playing piano, or perfecting my latte pour.

“Max Lee is an extraordinary photographer and an absolute joy to work with!”
His passion and attention to detail show in every photo he captured from our wedding. From the moment we started working with him, Max was dedicated to making our wedding day perfect! He went above and beyond, not only by having two engagement photo sessions after the weather didn’t cooperate the first time, but also by ensuring my husband could wear his grandfather's cufflinks on our special day. He even captured some video of the day for us! Max clearly loves what he does and genuinely cares about bringing wedding dreams to life. We couldn’t be more grateful for the memories he helped us create and we get to relive those memories because he literally captured every. single. one! Thank you so much Max!😊
