We hired Evan for our wedding at Piedmont Community Hall in Oakland and he did a great job. He…read morearrived on time, set up everything nicely, and was very sweet to all of the guests. His props are of great quality and very fun! We got a shimmery gold back drop which looked amazing, and I have to say that the machine he uses is extremely high quality, and the lighting is perfect! Taking photos with all of my friends and the bridal party using the photobooth was one of the best parts of the evening! Evan is incredibly responsive, and he'll work with you on your budget. Guests have the ability to email themselves the photos once they are finished, and Evan will usually post up the photos on the DNE FB page after the event is done as well. I would highly recommend DNE Events to anyone who is looking for photobooth services for their event!

The photobooth was a VERY big hit and was very professionally run. Evan was able to keep the party flowing with music he seemed to intuitively know would keep the energy level up. He was very good with the teen group but I also think would be highly skilled at Djing events for any age group. We loved our Evan experience and I'm sure you will too.

Ok...I rarely give 5's. Or...I try not to anymore. Something about someone who constantly gives 5's…read moreis a little strange to me. Like, I expect to meet this person and they're just ridiculously hyper all the time. Squealing at every little thing. I digress. Too much. I give PhotoBeats a 5, because they are great people, and work very hard on making sure you have great memories for your event. My organization booked them for a gala, and it was a blast having their photobooth out. Both children and adults (non-profit youth agency, of course our gala's going to have children!) enjoyed posing and taking pictures at their booth! Each shot allows for 4 different pictures, and you have about 5 seconds to run around in a new pose. Quite amusing to see grown-up's playing a mini-version of a Chinese Fire drill (minus the car). They keep all those pictures in a file that you get at the end, so you can be a part of memories you weren't a part of. I've been to other booths where the screen was so sensitive that just walking in will start the darn thing. Umm...I don't need to have a photo of my friend's butt as we're walking in the photo area....mmmkthanks! Clearly, I like the booth the best. They also have excellent photographers, running around documenting your event. After the photos, they must pour hours into editing and making sure nothing is out of place. Like, for real. If there's even a brown leaf in an otherwise brilliant green tree, they'll get rid of it. They have a DJ you can hire to do music at your event, and afterwards? Yeah, photobooks and other keepsakes to remember whatever event you hired them for. Oh, and did I mention they're affordable? Usually folks like to charge an arm and a leg (or torso) for the convenience of having so many services in one place. PhotoBeats? They know how to be competitive AND professional!

We finally got our photos. My husband contacted the owner after my failed attempts since August and…read moremy brother's follow up calls. Thankful and glad we received the link to download. We saved everything as quickly as we could. My husband was told that the owner was away on medical leave and had thought he sent the info out beforehand. For the stress and worry, I would suggest shopping around for a photo booth vendor unless it's not a big deal whether or not you get copies of the photos. However they did have the best pricing so perhaps we got what we paid for.

I found Sarah early in the wedding planning process, after searching for photos taken at Lake…read moreMerritt. I loved the idea of the lake as a backdrop for our couples portraits, but I felt like it would be best to find a photographer who was already familiar with its various features and angles. When I found Sarah's portfolio I was delighted and immediately knew I wanted to work with her. This was a fantastic decision and I would unequivocally recommend her as a wedding photographer. We spent 12+ hours together over the course of pre-wedding couple portraits, rehearsal picnic, and the day-of. I didn't think ahead of time about how much time that is to spend with a stranger, but after a very short time she didn't feel like one. She's warm, cheerful and professional. She gave excellent direction, while still working to keep shots very natural, and very willing to take our input throughout the process. She was easy to communicate with by phone and email, her business info was well organized and it was easy to handle contracts, etc. I found her prices to be very reasonable for the quality of service and product, and I really loved the photo book she put together at the end of the process.

Seriously the greatest photographer you can have on your side for your engagement photos and…read morewedding photos. Sarah herself is such a genuinely kind and amazing person, truly an expert in her work. She made us feel so incredibly comfortable during our photoshoots, and we truly enjoyed her. Of course, her work itself is simply incredible. Whenever we saw her finished shots of us, we were so blown away. Many times we were like, "OMG is that us?!" Or, "WOW, that doesn't even LOOK like the same place we were at." Sarah has this ability to make her subjects and backgrounds look epic or incredible, or basically all the amazing adjectives you can think of to describe a photo. I have received numerous compliments from friends and coworkers saying how impressed and how much they loved how all our photos came out. Props to her associate photographer, Doreen, as well. She photographed our wedding day alongside Sarah, and she was also such a delight to work with and to have by our side. So much talent in Sarah and Doreen. A HUGE thank you for everything. You won't regret booking Sarah.

We invited Jennifer to photograph us at City Hall last summer, and we can't say enough positive…read morethings about her work! It's hard to put words to one's quality of work sometimes, but there's no need for words in this case because her images speak volumes! On top of her endless talent, she's also super down to earth, which helps camera-shy people like myself feel comfortable in front of her lens. We got the images back very quickly and had the hardest time figuring out which ones to frame because each moment was so beautifully captured. All in all, Jennifer does beautiful work! We highly recommend her.

She sent us the prints for downloads- not one bad photo! I would HIGHLY recommned Jennifer to anyone for any event any time!

Sure enough, they were on time for my daughter's birthday, and handled all of our CRAZY kids with calm, patience and professionalism. Having a photo booth provided an extra dimension of fun and captured memories of the party. I didn't do too much shopping around with other vendors, but when I told a family member about the price of our package, she was almost shocked at what a great value it was. Thank you Sunshine & Van!

Highly recommended.

I HIGHLY recommend Arthur to anyone looking to book a photo shoot! We will definitely be booking another session with AM Photography once our twins arrive. :)

He set up at the ceremony site, cocktail hour, and reception - all for a great price! On top of that, DJ Roy is the most personable MC I've met. If you give him the freedom to be creative and run the show, he can get your guests to laugh AND on their feet to dance. To be organized, DJ Roy provides a planning template you fill out to detail your event timeline and music selections. He provides music suggestions and is open to you sharing playlists with him. DJ Roy is extremely responsive via email and text, showing that he cares deeply about making the client happy. Although it wasn't required, he attended a venue walk through with me to get a feel of the land before the wedding day. On the wedding day, he arrived 5 hours prior to the ceremony start time to get an early start on set-up. I greatly appreciate vendors who go above and beyond to ensure the big day goes smoothly. Thank you, DJ Roy! I hope to work together again!
