When we thought about our wedding photographer, we knew we wanted someone who was not only…read moreincredibly skilled but also easy and chill to be around. We were looking for candid moments and real emotion rather than stiff, staged smiles, and since we'd be spending most of the day with this person, the energy had to feel right--especially for two people who are a bit camera-awkward! Patrick was everything we hoped for and more. He was professional, personable, and most of all, chill--the perfect balance of present without ever being intrusive. He truly understood what we wanted (and what we didn't want): authentic, vibrant photos that captured the spirit of our community without pulling us away from actually experiencing our wedding. We feel so lucky to have benefitted not only from his immense talent as a photographer but also from his understanding of events and his local connections. Thanks to Patrick, we now have a collection of images that feel alive, joyful, and exactly true to the day.

Since this is the first review I'll start by stating that Pho-Co provides event photography,…read morebusiness photography, corporate head shots, website upgrade photos, professional portraits, architectural photography, and high quality video such as animation content, professional music video, web intro video, or 60-second commercials. While 'Studio Time' is their sister company, they also collaborate with many local businesses to provide many services in between. For our wedding we had Patrick. Great photographer who uses a photojournalism style but has the artistic eye to go with it. He uses top of the line equipment, and has no lack thereof. My wife really appreciated how he took control as to not waste time and yet was super friendly throughout. I really appreciated how technically proficient he was and how he worked with all our other vendors at the wedding to make sure everything went smooth. This is a local company trying to mold their business model towards encompassing all of the customers wants and needs. Almost a one-stop-shop so to speak.

Slightly different type of review. I reached out to Danielle to try to book two separate shoots…read morebut unfortunately she was already booked! (lesson learned, its never too early to book a photographer.) I can't speak to her work as a photographer (honestly though, look at her portfolio!) But MAN is she wonderful to work with. She gave me a list of other photographers who had availability and I was able to schedule my shoots. All in all, she could have just said "sorry but I'm booked up." Instead, she took time out of her schedule to provide me with a list of other options. That's five star service. hopefully next time I can book her before someone else does!

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further! Candice is seriously amazing!…read morePlanning a wedding is crazy enough and finding a photographer to capture those precious moments is an important factor. I went to wedding expos and went through tons of internet photos trying to find a photographer. Then one day as I was spending unnecessary hours on pinterest I stumbled upon some amazing photos. From the pin I found a blog and from the blog I found Candice Benjamin Photography!! When I looked up her website, she's local! in Fullerton! Then I watched her little introduction video and just automatically fell in love! We met up with her for a yummy breakfast...and it was set...we could cross one extra thing off our wedding to do list! Photographer....CHECK! We did an engagement session with Candice and it was actually pretty fun! I'm not one who likes to take pictures, but Candice made it feel comfortable and we had lots of laughs. Of course there was a lot of odd awkward positions she asked us to do. But hey, if the pictures turn out good, I'll do whatever she tells me to do! And the engagement shots turned out so pretty. She's really good at chasing that golden light. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/candice-benjamin-photography-fullerton#zA89mkBRNAeKR0XpaYXypA Wedding day ... She came with a whole crew. A second photographer and her super sweet husband, Jay who was helping out. They make a power team. Our wedding day went so smoothly. And the pictures? Yeah we got them in about a week! Amazingly lightning fast! All on a website that your family and friends can download and then you get the cutest flash drive in the mail: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/candice-benjamin-photography-fullerton#vv9LCoRNkWZDMHKwnN-b8A Seriously...I couldn't have picked a better wedding photographer! Super sweet and quirky! Plus she sent us a "married" surprise in the mail... Some wine and chocolates. How cool is that! We did good with picking Candice. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/candice-benjamin-photography-fullerton#MUW9SE10IA_ZEHdK6iNZ_w

um, OMG. can I say LOVE? love love LOVE!!! I was looking and looking and inquiring about…read morephotographers. I got tired. Then my neighbor told me, check out Candice (he was getting married and was using Candice, because his sister who got married years ago used Candice haha), so I checked out her website, and the style that I thought I wanted was thrown out the window and I fell in love with Candice's style. I love her simplicity, clean images with an air of romanticism. You can see the love in all the photos!!! So when I contacted her, she wanted to meet. We met over lunch and my goodness, she's amazingly tall!! LOVE IT! we chatted, she asked about us and we asked about her...and it was a done deal. She was sweet and funny and super adorable. How could I not want her be part of my day?! Throughout the whole process, Candice was available for questions, chats, emails, texts, anything. She is so organized and professional. She gives you advice and tips and expectations and lets you know exactly what to expect. I asked when was the latest we could take our engagement photos because I had wanted to lose some weight, she said a month before. She makes even the most awkward, photo hating people (me and hubs haha) look unawkward and amazing. I left the engagement loc to her and she picked a trail in Pasadena that we haven't been to. She brought along her equally adorable hubby who was so gracious and helpful that day! Candice made the shoot fun and easy...hopefully we weren't too hard of subjects for her. hahah. and, can I say, the photos came back super fast and AMAZING. I wanted to print every one of them out. Then she proceeds to send all the imaged to you on the cutest USB stick along with some printed photos. Wedding day comes (but not without a phone call and some emails and texts about what she needed, which is extremely helpful for me to get everything together so I didn't have to stress about it the day of...and she went through a whole list of what I wanted on the day of...so organized!!) and she was as easy as day one. She captured all the moments, and beautifully too, and got the imaged back A WEEK AFTER. This was amazing since she took SOO many pictures and since my friends and I are still on a wedding high and we were able to all enjoy it and recount all the moments!!! Everyone RAVED about Candice and about the photos and my bridesmaids wished they found Candice when they got married! :) I can't give enough compliments to Candice, her attitude, her professionalism and above all, her amazing talent. I am so happy I found her, and will use her for family, babies, parties, anything I can get her to!! haha!!! Thank you Candice!!! We loved working with you and we can't thank you enough!!!!

Even through email, you can tell that she was eager and excited to do our engagement photos. For two weeks prior to our photo session, I constantly emailed with Julie for ideas in regards to location, outfits, and props. She was very responsive throughout. Together we decided on having the session in Boulder (Pearl Street and Chautauqua Park). Though Julie seemed more comfortable on Pearl Street than she was at Chautauqua Park (I'm not sure if she has done a session there before), most of our pictures turned out quite amazing! We are super pleased with the results! We will definitely be recommending Julie to our friends and family who may need photography services. :) Best of luck in your photography business, Julie!

Julie was great. My in-laws contacted Julie at extremely short notice to shoot my wedding after our…read moreoriginal photographer plans fell through. She was immensely helpful and was definitely one of the least things I had to worry about in the last two weeks before the wedding. She met with me to discuss the particulars of the day and she took it from there. On the actual day, she was prompt and on time and immediately started shooting the process of everyone getting ready. We had a great pre-ceremony first-look shot and even though it was freezing cold outside she kept us laughing and having a good time. I hardly noticed that she was there which was great because she ended up getting some amazing candid shots. I wish we had booked her for longer for all of the reception! I was AMAZED at how fast she got our photos back to us after the wedding. So many wedding photographers take weeks or months to get photos back but we had our first preview shots (via Facebook) in a week. The next week she had them all on her website for us to view and a week after that a DVD came in the mail with all the shots on them. (The DVD came in an adorable case with one of our shots on them, too, plus the date) She sent us a thank-you card too. We were so pleased with the photos and how fast they were returned to us. Julie was pleasant and very easy to work with and really made the big day calmer because she took care of all the "prop shots" (rings, etc) without bugging anybody. Definitely recommended!

Sara did such an amazing job on our maternity photos! We're from Texas and really wanted snow…read morepictures in Colorado. Sara was very organized and captured our vision before we ever even met in person. She provided ample dress suggestions, and made recommendations on accessories and family clothing and provided so many location options. She kept us updated daily on the weather to ensure we got the best pictures. (Very hard to do in the mountains). It was freezing and she had hand warmers I was able to hold and hide in the pictures. She thought about every detail and went above and beyond. She guaranteed her photos in about 4 weeks and they were on time and came out so elegant.

Working with Love, Leon (formerly Krauter photography) was the most stressful part of planning our…read morewedding. We were profoundly disappointed with the lack of client-care, honesty and communication throughout the entire process, even in the delivery of photos. We hired Lauren + Casey because we liked their style, we wanted a husband/wife duo and we wanted Indy locals (we live in Los Angeles, our wedding was in my hometown of Indianapolis). We were happy to hear that Lauren, like us, felt it was important to meet in-person to talk vision + prep before the wedding. We agreed to meet in the June and July months when I was scheduled to fly home to Indianapolis. After hiring Love, Leon and putting down our 50% deposit, we felt that Lauren's interest in us and our wedding ended. At the beginning of June, I reached out to Lauren to set + confirm our first in-person meeting. Lauren informed us that she and her husband (2nd shooter) were moving to Germany at the end of the week and she would be unable to meet until the afternoon before my wedding day. As I probed further, she admitted that Casey was no longer available to shoot the wedding and she had already hired a new 2nd shooter. When I searched for this photographer online, I came up blank. There was no Instagram, no website, no reviews and no verifiable online presence of her work. Lauren supplied us with two private links to photos, but asked me to "trust her on this one" even though she had never shot a wedding with this person. We begged for our deposit back. Because so much had changed, we wanted to go with another photographer and part ways with no hard feelings. She refused to make an exception and informed us that she would be keeping our deposit regardless of our decision. We didn't have the budget to pay another photographer without getting that $1,650 deposit back, so we had to proceed with Lauren and try to make the best of this new situation. Her demeanor on the day-of was good and she handled herself well with our bridesmaid photos. The only thing that struck me as odd & unprofessional was when she asked the Matron of Honor to buy her an Uber home during the reception. After delivering the photo galleries, we noticed that a vast majority of the family and group shots were blurry. The trees behind us were focused, but all of our faces were out-of-focus. I reached out to Lauren asking for sharper versions that were suitable for printing and using in a photo book. At this point, she admitted that she had made a mistake with her camera during our group photo session and she did not have any in-focus photos of our wedding party, the bride's family, the bride + groom's family or my grandparents. I was stunned. I reached out to some professional photographer friends to see if anyone could salvage the images. I received an overwhelming response that this was not a camera setting issue, but rather a fundamental photography-skill issue. A photographer may occasionally slip into back-focus for one or two frames out of a hundred, but anyone who bills themselves as a professional would see this mistake after a shot or two and fix it immediately on-site preventing further blurry photos. They were all stunned to find out that she hadn't fixed it on-location, and further than she hadn't owned up to the rookie mistake upon delivery. She waited to see if we would catch it. The whole thing just doesn't sit well with me. All this to say - Love, Leon added stress to the wedding process rather than alleviating it. Maybe it was a one-time mistake, but I wouldn't recommend taking that risk on your wedding day. If you're a bride or groom who values communication, transparency and an overall positive experience in wedding planning, I would urge you to explore other photographers in Indy. **NOTE: As a courtesy, I let Lauren know in advance that we would be sharing our honest experience on this platform. In response, she offered + provided a 50% refund for the $3,600 contract and apologized as she understands that nothing can replace the fact that these images were not captured. She will "use this as an opportunity to learn and grow."**

From hand to foot placements, she did an awesome job at guiding me through the entire shoot. I honestly do not think anyone else could have done a better job with this. Walking away from the studio I had a huge smile on my face and was so happy with the experience. A few weeks later, I made an appointment for the photo reveal and picked out the pictures I wanted for my album and digitals. This was very exciting and fun!
