I loved that the photos were not posed, but more natural. She had some fun ideas and really worked with the landscape and scenery around us to make our photos even better! We not only used the photos for our Save the Dates, but also on some custom wine bottles for the wedding day! She's so creative and fun to work with and I hope we can use her again sometime soon!

Dan was an amazing photographer and a great guy. He was very responsive with all the questions I…read morehad and was quick to reply. He gave me a few venue ideas, which was used for my family photo's. We had a group of 12 and Dan maybe the shoot not awkward at all. We all enjoyed the creative shoots that Dan took. He took a variety of different group shots and did individuals as well. It's crazy how much he got done in only an hour. I would highly recommend Dan for personal photography's/family photos. If you are looking for someone friendly, professional and overall just a good guy, look no further Dan Rice is your guy.

He was an absolute joy to work with and was really just so much fun! He made us laugh, kept up with the timeline, utilized the lighting and landscape and just kept things flowing really smoothly. I got so many compliments from guests and the wedding party about how great he was. I've only seen a sneak peak of photos, but from what I've seen already, they just look stunning. We will be using Dan for all of our family photos in the future. Highly, highly recommend him! He was the best!!!

Not being from the area, I didn't have a great idea of locations that would be best for photos. James was kind enough to suggest some beautiful places for photos nearby. I am not a photogenic person, but James did a great job helping us look natural and feel relaxed. I can't say enough how much we love the photos. The editing was fantastic as well. James was kind enough to stay with us for more time than we had originally booked to make sure we captured everything we wanted. I can't recommend him highly enough!

What a fun experience! Mom and I decided to give this a go and we both were really happy with how…read morethe photos turned out! Right now they are only allowing one group at a time inside which I appreciated. After one group is done, they sanitize the high traffic touch spots on the various set pieces and all the employees wear masks. I believe there are 8 different sets with my favorites being the promenade scene holding the light post, the inverted saloon, and the seaside sand castle! Brittany R. guided us through the various poses and she was so kind and made the experience so much more comfortable and fun! I'm really glad we got her! With almost every "scene" you'll end up doing two different poses. You give the employee your cell phone so they take every photo using your phone as well as theirs. That way you have all the photos on your phone and then you can pick the ones you'd like to print out from theirs after you finish! After looking at all our photos, there is a slight learning curve to your body position. Also be mindful of making sure everyone in your group is doing the same thing (all looking away from camera or all looking at camera). Even with the employee guiding you on where to put your hands and feet, be mindful of your body position in general and try to keep everything at the same angle/in a straight line. I'm really happy with how the photos turned out, with just 2 photos looking just slightly 'off', one of my solo photos holding the make up chair, and the other was my moms body angle holding the 2 seat bike. Otherwise, the rest were great! This was a really enjoyable activity and great to do solo, with someone else, or as a family/group! It was $25 dollars for a group of two and that came with getting all the photos taken on your phone and then being able to print out an 8x10 of your favorite shot. They also offer additional printing options in smaller sizes like 5x7 for a little extra money if you want to print more out. Worth stopping by!

This is my 1st yelp review, and Justin Grafton deserved every star and more! We're getting married…read morein July and a photographer was one of the most important on our to do list. Someone to take great pictures that will reflect our love and holy union! We heard about Justin and were so glad we that we did! After meeting him we were fortunate to have been able to book him to shoot our wedding! We were happy that it included an engagement shoot day! It turned out to the most amazing and fun day! We arrived expecting a 2-3 hour shoot at the falls and to our surprise we got more then we ever hoped for! Justin came out to the Columbia Gorge from the coast and devoted the whole day just to us! Climbing up waterfalls and cliffs all day like an acrobat treading the high wire of chance, trying to capture the moment of our lives special day. I see now that you don't just take a photograph, you make it. Like a sketch book that camera for Justin was an instrument of intuition and spontaneity! He truly has the great privilege of being both witness and storyteller. We are so grateful for his ability to capture the moment and the true, honest emotion of the day! The pictures he took are breathtaking capturing the beauty of our love for each other, obvious or hidden he found and captured the real us! He takes those great photographs that fully express what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed, and I think that's what taking foots is all about! . Above all, Justin and Sabrina went above and beyond and made our day unforgettable. The connected with who we are and brought out the best in us. It takes great talent and skill to capture that picture that will tell a story of a lifetime, and he can do just that. Our life for this photographer is not a matter of indifference and that is something you don't see a lot of now days. At the end of our shoot we were two very happy customers indeed The great passion and love for what he does is what makes him an artist and master of his craft . Thank you Justin for being fun and silly yet still very professional and responsive! The dedication and experience you bring to the table made us feel very comfortable with trusting you completely. We are so excited about working with Justin again on our wedding day! We are looking forward to all the great pictures we will have to keep forever, to look back on remembering the happiest day of our lives.
