But I liked a lot of his photographs long before I even realized who he was. Later, I had the chance to be one of his subjects a few times, and cannot say enough good about the way he works with people. As nice a person as he is excellent as a photographer. Efficient, funny, pleasant, artful, humble, craft-driven.

Julian's photographs and portraits are among the most skilled and beautiful I've ever seen. I've…read moreseen his wedding photography, his personal portrait work, and his surveys of a particular subject, and it's all superlative. I can't say I have the world's most recognizable face, but once Julian took a photo of me, put it on a magnet (with other photos) and distributed them to a whole lot of people. His work is so distinctive that years later, I still run into people who say, "Wait a minute, don't I know you? Hold on, you're on my fridge!" That's pretty much entirely due to the skill and flair with which Julian brings out the interesting, the unusual and the beautiful in his subjects. I'd recommend Julian in a heartbeat for any portraiture or event photography -- he has a professional eye and a kind touch such as I've never seen before.

He captures the vivid colors and textures of nature; his images speak thousands of words. You can almost hear the wind blowing, the leaves stirring, the birds singing.

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!! Clifton Photography, was hired in 1983, to take pictures at our…read morewedding and he did a wonderful job back in the day, and has kept up with the trends of photography technology to be the BEST in the North, East, South and West. I highly recommend Clifton. If you want professional quality photos for that special moment he is the man to contact. He is professional, spiritual, personable, experienced, and humble. When my Grandmother celebrated her 100th Birthday I called Clifton immediately, because I knew he could and would get the job done beyond my expectations. I am so very happy to have such a wonderful photographer I can trust to be there and capture such magnificent memories.

Rendy Lai Photography

There are so many self-proclaimed "professional photographers" these days when choosing a…read morephotographer for your special occasion, it can get a little confusing. You don't know if they're credible or if they're really good or how long of an experience do they have? So many questions. Rendy has a lot of experience working with different types of people with different needs and wants. He understands that every individual is different and he adjusts himself according to his clients needs. He makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and he has the patience and understanding that some people are just not as comfortable getting their pictures taken or being in front of the camera. Yet he still manages to capture beautiful pictures each time. It's because he builds that photographer/client relationship first and you start to develop a trust in him and his work. I loved the way our family pictures turned out. From the composition to the angles to the lighting. I loved the way he captured the warmth and love in our family. The restaurant where we took our pictures at had a private back room and the walls were made of wine bottles. Rendy was able to use this as our background! It was amazing! Everyone complimented on our pictures. They loved how they turned out. I definitely recommend Rendy for anyone that needs a photographer for their wedding day, engagement, baby pictures, etc. He's always willing to work with you and listen to your needs and guarantees a professional result.

I recently attended a client's retirement party and could not help but notice the photographer…read more This is not a good thing. To my mind, a photographer should take great pictures, be nearly invisible and be professional. Meatloaf said "two out of three ain't bad," but it is bad when you are a photographer and cannot accomplish two of the three. Let's start with the positive; the man takes nice pictures. I was able to view some of the pictures on his camera's screen and Mr. Dennis obviously knows his business. Unfortunately, doing the job you are paid to do was not enough in this instance. He was hardly invisible. In fact, he acted like one of the invited guests and was always in the way when anyone else attempted to take a shot. During the guest's speech he stood dead center and I wondered why he did not use the zoom function. Perhaps his greatest flaw was his lack of professionalism. I have absolutely no problem with a man looking at or even gawking at my girlfriend. Admittedly, my opinion is not unbiased and my girlfriend is beautiful and has great stems. She is also extremely shy and does not flaunt her looks in any way. Mr. Dennis could not take his eyes off of her and at one point walked over and said "I am taking you home with me." He then took about twenty pictures of her nonstop. My first thought was to slap, not punch this "want-to-be-Frankie Beverly-look-alike in the mouth" but after he saw my face he quickly regrouped and said "let me get a picture of the two of you." Dude, learn to be professional and stay out of the clearance section when shopping.

Stephen Flynn Photography

Photographers who produce high quality shots are a dime a dozen…read more But photographers who make a photoshoot feel like magic, who evoke something special within you that you didn't even know you had, and who capture your essence onto "film" in a way that you had no idea was possible... well, that's Stephen Flynn. Myself and my company continually re-hire Stephen for our events as well as personal photo shoots because he delivers absolutely stunning photographs AND he makes us feel like Kings along the way. Stephen is a man who knows when to stay the heck out of the way but still somehow manages to raise the energy of every room he enters. I can't speak highly enough of Stephen. He is a joy to work with. If you want run of the mill photos go hire a run of the mill photographer. If you want magic hire Stephen Flynn.

Stephen has taken beautiful photos of me for my business at an affordable price. I'm so glad he…read moreexists!

After interviewing several photographers, Eliot was the best person for the job... to capture a day's worth of memories to be shared with family and friends for a lifetime. He was very knowledgable, professsional, and friendly. After our engagement photo session, we were very pleased with the outcome. He took over a thousand photos in just a couple hours. Even more amazing was the outcome of our wedding photos. We have received so many compliments on them and the album turned out just the way we wanted it. Eliot worked with us through countless hours to get each page laid out just right. We look forward to using Eliot again for our family portraits in the future. You can tell he's truly passionate about what he does. Many thanks Eliot!

Albert REALLY loves what he does, and that shows in his energy, his ideas and his enthusiasm. He had a great idea, which was to come to our rehearsal the night before, which was very odd sounding at first but is now our absolute favorite part of the wedding video. we would never have thought to capture our rehearsal, but in the end it was the absolute best part because it was just us - no make up, no worries, just us having fun with our family and friends. Thank you!
