He was already experienced with the…read morelocation I wanted to do the proposal and was able to offer helpful advice on how to make things go smoothly. He listened attentively to my vision for the proposal, which was to have the moment feel as private and candid as possible. He was able to deliver on that perfectly by staying hidden and shooting on a zoom lens from far enough away that my girlfriend (now fiancée!) didn't even notice he was there until well after the ring was on. In the remainder of the time we had booked him for, he guided us through a session with various different poses and lighting, and we got some really dramatic and memorable shots! Finally, Kyle worked really quickly to get us our edited photos, and we were even able to opt for a selection of the photos to be delivered the same day so we could use them to announce the good news to our family and closest friends. Thanks so much for everything Kyle!

Our experience with Kyle was nothing less than spectacular. This is only the second time my husband…read moreand I have ever been professionally photographed, and Kyle went out of his way to make the experience fun, and relaxed. His outstanding photos capture exactly how my marriage feels to me. He was a kind and professional sport, despite us being late, and even helped pull spurs out of my dress. His knowledge of lighting and of Joshua Tree National Park made the shoot feel easy, though there is no doubt in my mind his years of experience and research have made it feel so effortless. He knew all of the best spots to take us. Beyond his talent as a photographer, Kyle is a great conversationlist. As a former park ranger, he is well versed in plant and wildlife, and has a particular affinity for whales.

I dont have enough good words for Ashley. From the first moment of our initial consultation I knew…read moreAshley was going to be the perfect photographer for our wedding day. We spent the first 30 minutes just chatting so she could understand what my vision for the day was and what was the most important to capture. I wanted a few very specific things (that included leaving our venue for 45 minutes) and Ashley was not just on board but had suggestions to make them better. After this she provided clear pricing tiers and I felt like I had so much autonomy in what I was paying for. Throughout the planning process Ashley was a great resource and she pivoted many times tk make sure we had everything captured before the ceremony started. Then came the wedding weekend. And Ashley outperformed even what I was expecting. We opted to have her at our rehearsal dinner and I cannot recommend this enough. Having her getting to know the key players in our wedding day was so helpful. All of our family and friends talked about how much they loved getting to talk with her and get nice family portraits during this time. I have attached a few photos from our rehearsal dinner (which we got back about 2 weeks after the event and it only took about 2 more weeks to get all the wedding photos) as well as a photo of the poloraid book we received day of ( GET THIS getting to have this to look at the next day was one of our favorite memories of the weekend) as well as some photos she had taken on her phone that I received right away. Ashley truly is a world class photographer and if I could do it all over again I would go with her in a heartbeat.

Sydney is top notch…read more She works with her clients to ensure they get what they want within budget. While she offers many packages she is able to create custom packages as well to fit your needs. I was was worried that we werent able to get a good photographer based on our budget, and I know that photographers are part of the most expensive aspect of a wedding because of quality. But everyone I had looked at prior, would have charged me DOUBLE for HALF the time if not more. Sydney understands and works hard to give you what you want. She is professional, but also fun. She obsesses over detail, and loves to be creative. She is prompt with communication and answering any questions you have. I opted for a boudior photoshoot to gift my husband with on the day of the wedding, Sydney Drove all the way to Los Angeles and shot a very classy and tasteful spread at a very cool studio. The whole ordeal took about 2 hours and the photos where flawless. When the wedding came around, Sydney drove all the way up to my wedding venue in Los Alamos, which is about 4 hours drive from her office location. And her travel fee was affordable too. I can't believe this girl. She brought her bff Natae to shoot videography of the event. Natae was a sweetheart and another badass whom I felt completely comfortable with. Time flew by during the wedding, and my husband and I were pulled in so many directions by the Coordinator and guests. Sydney would not leave until she felt she captured as many photos of us as possible. She refused to allow us to not have more choices. So she waited until we had a chance to get some more photos! I have never heard of any photographer who would stay behind to make sure everything possible could be captured. She wanted to be sure we were happy, and is so detail oriented, she wouldnt leave until she was satisfied with the photos taken. Its only been about 2 weeks and I am already getting sneek peeks of the photos. I am obsessed and cannot wait to see the rest! I 100 million percent reccomend Sydney Contois Photography and Videography to capture your 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.

For years I…read morehave been in search of the skill set in a team of people just to find that Matthew Mitchell is the devine jack of trades. A true gentleman from the communication to appointment setting, to being a guide for every step of the way, I was allowed to just "be ". A dealer in Beauty, his make up chair is full of good conversation, deep client consideration, and really bringing out the inner beauty with the perfect lipstick hue. I was amazed to see such a transformation, and he really explained why and how he did the things he did as a goodie bag of knowledge to take home with me. I had brought many accessories, but he also provided, from the look board to final fits- Matthew brings vision to life! He instructed me to bring a Bluetooth speaker so I can play my music and it really helped with my comfort in finding my flow when in front of his lens. He made sure that I stayed hydrated and did frequent check ins, also his studio is centrally located, but has all the privacy. We were shooting for hours and each look gave new excitement. When I first got on set I've requested a mirror, and he just looked at me and asked if I could trust him a bit first, and let me tell you I'm glad I did. As he was shooting, he was conscious of the lighting, the drapery, and didn't just click away, studied me as a subject and guided me on poses to consider. His instructions were clear and there was absolutely no guesswork. And after each session, he would let me take a peek at the viewfinder, and I can still recall the squeals of excitement As I was finding a hard time recognizing the super model in frame! But that is truly the magic of Matthew Mitchell, he is a wizard. There are many photographers in this world, but the gym and diamond quality that Matthew Mitchell is brings the meaning to a whole new level. He had many stories from his vast résumé through Hollywood in the world of celebrity, but you don't need to have a big blockbuster in movies to achieve the same look and feeling, and that is a Mastery of Matthew Mitchell. He will find your inner celebrity and let you shine, and post photo shoot, he provided high resolution photos promptly. And ladies and gentlemen I am billboard ready, if you have been looking for quality and an all in one type experience look no further because Matthew Mitchell is here to show the way. I can't thank this man enough, these photos are the investment I've needed and I'm glad I made it.

My friends and I were staying at the Highball House and recently saw that the owners (Grace Helbig…read moreand Mamrie Hart) had their auras read. I was super interested so looked into it and decided to book someone from Soulglow to come to the house and do our aura photos. You can also book an appointment at their studio. Contacting them was pretty easy through their website, and they were pretty quick to respond at first. I did have some delays in hearing from them throughout the scheduling process, but I think the owner was traveling. I actually stopped in to the studio to check in the day before, and we got everything squared away for our time slot. Natasha arrived at our house and got everything set up. She just needed a room that could be fairly dark and enough space for the camera and a little bench. Then once the group had their photos taken, we gathered in the living room and she interpreted them for us. This experience was honestly so incredible. I know some people might think it's "woo-woo" nonsense, but the readings were so accurate and spot on for everyone in our group, it blew my mind. I loved hearing more about each of our auras, which were all different. We each got our photo, a guide that talks a bit about the different colors and what they mean, as well as a special crystal based on the energies in our photos. I would absolutely love to do this again someday! It was such a special experience for our girls' weekend.
