about.

Pearl Lee Photo is a photography studio founded by Pearl. She collaborates with local photographers, friends and other vendors in the wedding/event industry.

Pearl's journey began as a local photographer, capturing the essence of life in neighborhoods across Seoul, New York and New Jersey. What started as a weekend passion project - photographing families and preserving their cherished moments - soon revealed the profound impact these images had on the lives of parents and families. Inspired by the joy her work brought to others, Pearl expanded her focus to the wedding and private event spheres, dedicating herself to capturing life’s most meaningful celebrations.

Her work draws inspiration from the nostalgia of her parents' wedding album and the soulful rhythms of Elvis Presley’s music (which she and her grandfather spent long drives listening to)…

Pearl is a native New Yorker but lived overseas in Asia for some of her formative years. She currently resides in New York with her husband, their son and two puppies. When she’s not behind her trusty 35mm lens, you can find Pearl defending families in immigration court.
