I can't believe the treasures Gene uncovered from our past--then meticulously indexed them so we could easily view them in folders on the drive. There is no way I'd risk mailing these priceless tapes to some nameless faceless person I found on the web. I handed my tapes to Gene in person, and I knew he would take great care of them. Thank you, Gene. The video and audio files that you recovered did indeed provide us an heirloom to pass on to the next generation. I would highly recommend Gene to anyone who wants to preserve their memories.

Ryan is basically a magician!!! Our photos came out not only beautiful but also full of life and…read morejoy. Going through all the photos made me teary-eyed, laugh, and immediately wonder if it'd be weird to use our wedding photos as bedroom wallpaper (my s/o convinced me this was a no-go, haha!). Ryan is not only obviously an incredible photographer, but he's ridiculously fun to work with. Hours before our ceremony, we needed to change venues which I worried would ruin the day. Despite the haze of anxiety and panic, Ryan had us all laughing and feeling present and excited! He's fun and knows exactly what he's doing, which made everyone feel at ease. I'm notoriously awkward in photos, but with Ryan, I just felt comfortable and ridiculously stoked! Okay, one last thing about why you definitely need to book Ryan is he's extremely fast! We weren't expecting our photos until at least a month after the ceremony, but somehow two nights later I got a very happy surprise that they were done (like I said, he's a magician)! I feel so grateful that we had such an amazing photographer capture our special day and will forever use Ryan for any other special events!

OH MY GOD. STOP READING THESE REVIEWS. Your search is over and just book Ryan already!…read more I was initially drawn to his style because he can capture "in the moment" shots. The small looks and giggles between the staged shots. He was able to capture all of that. One of my favorite things about my photos was that he was able to capture my guests' genuine reactions during the wedding. He truly can rock the momemt. So talented! He knows how to pose people in small, medium, and large groups. He'll remind guests if they need to button any jackets to get that great shot. He knows how to incorporate the background so he isn't just taking pictures of people but really the entire environment. There is great balance in the photos. He was extremely flexible the day of. We had minor schedule changes and he just went with the flow. I am SOOOO grateful he was able to photograph our big day. THANK YOU RYAN!!

I highly recommend Joel to be your family photographer!

When I got to the end of the gallery I was so sad, not because there was something missing, but because I wanted to keep going!

We knew we wanted to get married in Joshua Tree Park, but neither of us knew the park well. Ryan was able to guide us to a beautiful location that was exactly what we were looking for. He has a great eye for photography, the pictures are stunning. He captured a grand landscape perfectly and still made all the shots feel very personal and intimate. We could not be happier with how they came out, and are thankful to have such amazing reminders of our special day.

BRIDES BEWARE!!! The precious memories of our family members' wedding have been robbed. Literally,…read moreafter thousands spent to capture their nuptials and more than a seven-month wait period, they have no photos of their special day. Not only are calls and messages ignored, but other reviews suggest this photographer is putting other couples through a similar hell. The next option is a legal action, which could be easily avoided and resolved by sending the pair a flash drive. At the end of the day, the newlyweds just simply want to have what they paid for, memories that cannot be recreated of their wedding day. Please take this into serious consideration before hiring this photographer.

She explained that her videographer was unwell, but reassured me that she could do both jobs. However, she arrived an hour late and promised to deliver the pictures within 7-8 days. It has been over a month and a half, and I have not received any updates yet. After reading other reviews, I am even more worried. Some people reported waiting for six months without any response from Sydney. I might have to take legal action to retrieve my payment, but I remain hopeful that I will eventually receive my pictures and video. I am starting to question if this business is legitimate. I advise potential buyers to be cautious.

I remember our initial phone call about a year before our wedding date. Nikki wanted to know what was important to me. I was honest and told her that photography was number one, and then videography was right behind it. She was so respectful of that, and reassured me that she had excellent communication and coordination with photographers on wedding days--and I will tell you, this was proven true on our wedding day. Nikki was great at reminding me when we needed to discuss important aspects leading up to the wedding. She was patient and thorough. On the day of the wedding, we really enjoyed having the ladies around us. Like photographers, your videographers will spend most of the day with you. I felt like Nan and Nikki worked so well with our photographers--they captured such beautiful footage, and they are so skilled at their craft. You want to surround yourself with friendly and professional vendors on your wedding day, and those are two qualities that describe Nan and Nikki. Our finished product was delivered to us right on time, and we love it. The video is timeless, and I know we will be so thrilled to continue to enjoy it on anniversaries to come. We highly recommend Classic Filmworks to capture your upcoming wedding!
