Reviews With Photos

Michele Q.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Eljay for both our engagement photos and our rehearsal dinner, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Our engagement photos turned out so stunning that we proudly displayed them at our wedding. He captured beautiful moments at multiple locations that are incredibly special to us, including the Pasadena Courthouse, our home, Disneyland, and the restaurant where we first met--Shakey's. What truly sets Eljay apart is his professionalism, laid-back nature, and flexibility. He helped guide us with our poses in such a natural, relaxed way, making the entire experience feel effortless and fun. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he's also affordable and willing to travel, which made the experience so convenient for us. We also appreciated that he provided both edited and raw images, giving us the freedom to use them however we'd like. Eljay was very responsive and friendly throughout the entire process, making us feel comfortable and at ease. His demeanor and attention to detail were exactly what we were looking for in a photographer. On top of that, he has a photobooth business that we're excited to use for our next party--hopefully soon! We will absolutely be booking him again for future photo shoots. Highly recommend!

EM productions' services are so great! From photoshoots to photo booths to even audio guest books! Eljay is so professional and responds back fairly quickly with a flexible schedule. His work speaks for itself and I will always book with him for my future events!

See all

We were expecting our first child and I knew I wanted a natural childbirth experience. Both my…read morehusband and I agreed that we would be more comfortable with having a doula present, who could help us navigate through these unchartered waters. After researching and speaking with many doulas, we decided to go with Jana. She was extremely professional, organized, knowledgeable, and most importantly, listened to what we wanted and even asked us questions that made us think about aspects of the birth we had not considered. At our first visit, she gave us a very comprehensive overview of what to expect and how to best prepare for the big day. When my contractions started, we were in constant communication via text and phone. She immediately recognized that the baby was not in a favorable position and was causing me immense pain. She suggested exercises and positions to try and get baby to turn. At the hospital, Jana worked very well with our nurse and was our advocate and spokesperson when we needed her to be. She was prepared with snacks (juice can only go so far) and other comfort items like a vaporizer with essential oils. Throughout the almost 12 hours at the hospital, Jana struck a balance between knowing when to step in and suggest positions to my husband and I, when to back off and let me do my thing, and when to push me to drink or rest. Having someone we trusted there to help guide us was invaluable, especially in allowing my husband time to get food or rest. Without Jana, I wouldn't have had the natural childbirth experience I wanted. The week after my son was born, Jana followed up to check in on us and also stopped by for a visit. It was re-assuring to have her there to answer any questions and be a resource for us first time parents. I strongly recommend her doula services and she will be my first call if we decide to add to our family!

I can't express how thankful my husband and I are to have Jana as our doula. My husband was…read moreoriginally doubtful about spending the extra money but was so impressed with her at our delivery that he told me after that "she was worth her weight in gold. From our first initial consultation, Jana provided a wealth of information and lent me books. Due to some complications, my Drs recommended inducing me early and Jana was flexible in being there for us. During my labor, Jana helped me with the excruciating back labor. She braided my hair, gave me back pressure and helped my husband in supporting me. Because of Jana, we were able to have the best birth experience possible.

I had high hopes for this videographer based on the experience he reported and the sample videos he…read moreprovided prior to me contracting with him to complete several short videos to be housed on my business website. Unfortunately, my experience was a total disappointment. Mina promised professional-quality work but delivered something that felt more like that of a student or novice in the field. Ultimately, the final product was of such poor quality that I was left with no other alternative but to completely reshoot all the videos with another unaffiliated professional videographer. Specifically, the final videos contain extensive sound skips, awkward transitions, and overall poor editing decisions. Even with repeated requests for these matters to be resolved in editing, Mina has consistently reported he believes he has provided an exceptional product and has no further contractual obligation. Although his contract states it includes "comprehensive editing to create a polished video," he advised he would not provide additional edits (repeated and inappropriate stock images, a typo to my business name, and extensive audio issues) unless I paid an additional $350. Not only was this cost undisclosed, but the edits I requested should have largely been resolved by him prior to him presenting me with any final product. Mina's unprofessionalism was additionally problematic throughout the project. On the day of the shoot he arrived 45 minutes late, compromising the natural light available. Additionally, he was 15+ minutes late for the 3 additional meetings where he presented his work. At best, this was just a blatant disregard for the value of my time and the investment he has in his own professional image. All in all, this was a very frustrating and disappointing experience. The project has been a total loss for me.

Chris is the definition of professional, and the quality of his photography speaks for itself…read more Chris was kind enough to come all the way up to San Francisco to shoot the Rehearsal Dinner Party, Wedding, and Reception for my wife and I, and I cannot say enough good things about everything (but I'll try). Chris is the consummate professional. We touched base via phone several times leading up to the wedding, where we discussed all the particulars of the venue and what we were looking for. That said, he has enough experience to know what to look for such that we didn't have to provide a ton of direction as far as what pictures we were looking for. Chris also rolls with the punches. We made the decision a month before the wedding that we wanted pictures of our Rehearsal Dinner/Party, and Chris graciously accommodated, even on such short notice. The day of the big event, Chris was kind but direct, getting the shots that he needed in a very efficient manner, which was important as we had a time limit on our ceremony venue. He has an incredible eye for detail, and the pictures that resulted are a testament to that. I wish I had more diverse ways of saying how great he was, but you'll just have to take me at my word -- if you're looking for a photographer, wedding or otherwise, you can do no better.

We stumbled across Chris's work after searching through our venue's previous photographers, and I…read moream so glad we had the chance to work with him for our wedding! He is highly communicative, fun to talk to and was an absolute professional for us in our engagement shoot and wedding. I write this review even before receiving our entire wedding portfolio because of how much fun we had working with him. He has an attention to detail that shines in his photography that you don't see very often in a lot of wedding photography nowadays, and as someone who feels very camera shy, he made me feel absolutely beautiful in the photos he's shot so far. Thank you Chris for all your hard work, I cannot recommend him enough!

We hired Greg for an Association Conference at the Langham hotel in Pasadena, in October 2016 - a…read more3-day event, with about 300 people attending, consisting of educational sessions, keynote speakers, awards ceremonies, fundraisers, and an exhibit hall. We have been the event planners for this conference for the past 8 years, our photography budget is not large, and we have struggled each year to find a photographer who is affordable and knows how to shoot conference events. Greg is the photographer we have been waiting for all these years. He responded quickly to our quote request, with a detailed and very reasonable quote. When we met him for the first time, about 30 minutes before he was to begin shooting the conference, he was friendly, smiling, and seemed to know exactly what we wanted and made us feel that he would deliver. Throughout the 3-days of the conference, Greg was always prompt in showing up (even early), he seemed to be everywhere at once and always around when you needed him. After the conference ended, we received the photo files within just a couple of days. The photos are BEAUTIFUL. Greg managed to get multiple, excellent shots of everything and everyone. This is the first time in our 8 years of handling this conference that we are 100% happy with the event photos. The icing on the cake is that Greg has a winning personality. He is funny, engaging, knows how to make people smile and feel comfortable. We would not hesitate to recommend Greg and GV Photography, and we are very much looking forward to working with him again for our 2017 conference!

They were creative with taking different shots throughout the wedding and we had a great time with them. We left for our honeymoon the next day and turnaround was so quick that we got our photos when we were still on our trip!

Need I say more? We hired both Kelly and Erin as the second photographer. Erin is also very talented and she was able to take some shots of the Ojai mountains (we got married at the Red Tail Ranch) with another lens--very well executed plan. We also splurged and asked Kelly to create a book of our wedding, which we adore--we just knew it would take us a year to find time to do it on our own, and it was fun to get it back in time to show family and friends over the holidays. We could not be happier with the photos Kelly took.
