I am so glad I hired Adam for my surprise proposal to my girlfriend. Living in SoCal and having…read morenever been to Monterey/Big Sur, I planned my whole proposal based on google searches, reddit threads, and word of mouth. Being a Big Sur/Monterey local, Adam provided extremely helpful insight and feedback for my proposal. He definitely helped relieve a lot of the stress during the planning phase of my proposal. On the day of the actual shoot, the day-of jitters was overwhelming at times, but Adam's energy and demeanor was very centering. He was patient and gave my new fiancee and I space to calm ourselves, and also knew when to take charge and guide us with our poses. He also had amazing and creative ideas for how to pose and brought us to local, reclusive spots to take intimate photos. Best of all, Adam always had a smile on his face and he made us really think like we were supermodels walking the runway haha. If you're going to do any photoshoot, especially a proposal or engagement shoot, in the Big Sur/Monterey area, I would highly recommend getting Adam!!

We met prior to talk through the plan and he mapped out my route to propose. I was given a personalized website with all the details. He is very responsive, we had sneak peek photos the same night!

From the moment we met Chris for our engagement session, we knew we had made the right choice…read more Neither my husband nor I are naturally comfortable in front of the camera, but Chris made us feel relaxed and like ourselves. By the time our wedding day came around, it felt like having a friend there with us. On our wedding day, he captured every moment so effortlessly. He somehow managed to be everywhere at once while never making us feel like we were constantly posing. Looking through our photos, we get to relive the emotions of the day all over again. Every laugh, every tear, every little in-between moment was captured so beautifully. And then, somehow, he delivered our entire wedding gallery just one week later. We were absolutely blown away--not only by how quickly we received them, but by how incredible every single photo was. Chris is unbelievably talented, professional, and genuinely such a joy to work with. If we ever need professional photography again one day, he'll be the first person we call to capture those memories too. We truly can't recommend him enough.

Jeannette just completed a family photo session for us, and the work she did turned out…read morebeautifully. I purchased a gift certificate from Jeannette for these family photos, and when it took us (our fault, not hers!) 2 years to finally schedule the session, she was more than happy to still honor the gift certificate, and extremely patient throughout the entire process. During the shoot, she encouraged us to be ourselves, she took time to scour the beach we were at for different and interesting backgrounds, and she ensured that we had every single different shot and combination that was important to us before we departed ways. She surprised us with a preview of the photos 1 day later, and had ALL of the photos in our hands in under 2 weeks! Not only can you trust that Jeannette will take beautiful pictures, but also that she will respond to emails, phone calls, and ALL of the other little (but important) details. I would absolutely recommend her!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Cat! My husband and I met Cat during our amazing…read moreengagement shoot. During this experience, we were able to capitalize on the natural fall beauty in Burlington, Vermont and Cat captured every sweet moment we had together. My husband and I were not used to being photographed but her sweet demeanor and fantastic ideas made it an unforgettable experience. I used several of the shots from our engagement shoot for our save the dates and put them on our wedding website. Cat was able to get the photos to us really quickly and we were floored by how beautiful they were and loved the variety of shots we had to choose from. I even framed several of the engagement photos and used them to decorate our barn at during our wedding reception. When it came time to our wedding, Cat made our experience even better than I could have imagined! I knew my wedding day pictures would be amazing, but what absolutely surprised me were the special moments Cat captured. From the loving way my husband and I looked at each other at our first look to my dad dipping me on the dance floor, Cat captured all of the moments that made our wedding unforgettable! Cat not only documented these incredible moments, but she also used her artistic eye to photograph every inch of our beautiful barn wedding. She documented each of our meticulously planned wedding areas which meant the world to me, especially because some of the details were gone before I even saw them, such as our delicious donut wall that was eaten up immediately! Words cannot express my gratitude for Cat and her incredible eye. The photos she took will be hanging on the walls of our home forever!

We were so impressed with his professionalism, his jovial…read moreand "yes and" attitude, and ability to capture the most beautiful and intimate moments during our shoot. As two people who have never been professionally photographed, my husband and I were amazed by what Jason could capture behind the camera. His use of light, suggestions for poses and timing, and his creativity really captured the zeitgeist of the day. Jason made us feel at ease throughout the entire shoot: working with him was like working with a friend. He was friendly and down for anything: locations, poses, or horses (!!!). We had a hiccup before our shoot-- a natural disaster threatened our original photoshoot plans. Jason was communicative and flexible: we were able to navigate our hiccup together and create something beautiful together. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to capture the true joy in love, we highly recommend Jason. The memories he created for us will last a lifetime, and we are beyond grateful for his incredible work!

We had a large group of 19 people. Jason was so easy to work with and made everyone very comfortable and at ease during the shoot. He was great at coordinating every shot taken and as you could imagine dealing with adults and children made it a little difficult at times. Jason orchestrated each photo as a true professional he is in his craft. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone wanting to have photo's taken to capture those precious once in a life time moments. If the times presents itself again and we're in the area and need photos taken I wouldn't hesitate to contact Jason once again. Jim Hunihan
