I could not be happier with our choice of Rachel Higgins to do my son's senior portraits…read more From the first moment, Rachel was extremely professional, creative, and incredibly easy to work with. In my son's words, "She is super chill, and I felt comfortable the entire time. She is fun, easy to talk to and she made the day fun." Rachel utilized fantastic angles of my son while also incorporating the landscape of downtown SLO that really brought every picture to life, and all of the final images were amazing! Her use of lighting, composition and her attention to detail were perfect. We absolutely love our son's pictures, and highly recommend Rachel Higgins to anyone looking for someone to capture truly exceptional photography.

Rachel's experience really paid off because she had lots of suggestions and ideas for the photoshoot. And then when our hard drive crashed and we lost all the photos, she made them all available again to us, and with a gentle recommendation to put all the photos on our Google Drive, which I did! Thanks Rachel for everything!

We absolutely love working with Nikkels Photography! Michelle has photographed our family for…read moreseveral years now -- from our annual family sessions to my sister's newborn photos, and most recently our own newborn photos. Every session is such a great experience. She makes us feel comfortable, keeps things fun, and somehow always captures the most beautiful moments, even with a busy family. Our newborn session was especially wonderful. Michelle made the entire process so easy and relaxed, and the images she captured are truly priceless. We're so grateful to have these memories to look back on. We can't recommend Nikkels Photography enough!

She is on the pricier end but transparent with her prices and you're certainly paying for photo quality, professionalism and speed of return. It took her less than a week to get our photos back. I would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

I can't thank Blake and Robin enough…read more I need to find better adjectives, but our wedding pictures and video teaser were BEAUTIFUL, warm and candid. Which is exactly what I was looking for in our wedding photos. Thank you for making us feel special and capturing these beautiful moments. Blake captured some awesome shots of my mother in law who despises pictures and is not shy about dodging the photographer, so he gets an A+ just for that! Thank you for your patience and working through our hiccups, which I'm sure no wedding is short of. Thank you so much for allowing us to incorporate Louie's car into our pictures which was a bit last minute but your team handled it so well and even made us look like models! You and Robin truly make an epic team. Wishing you guys many more years of success. If you are looking for a photographer and/or videographer, look no further.

He made our entire family feel comfortable and at ease throughout the day, which truly shows in the photos. Once we saw the finished images (which came in record time!), we are absolutely blown away! Blake brought our wedding memories to life in the most beautiful way and gave us photos we will cherish forever. We are so grateful and look forward to having the opportunity to work with him again!

Brandi was amazing. We are not from the coastal area so we weren't sure where to go. She gave us…read moreseveral options with so much information (like the way the tide hits the sand, whether it requires a lot of walking or if parking is hard). The site we picked was exactly right thanks to her wisdom and insight! She also helped give us the perfect kinds of shots we wanted by talking it out, having us set up a collaborative pinterest board, and getting to know our family a little before our meet up. Brandi paid attention to every little detail! Even tiny things--like sending our USB tied with a little flower and some Polaroid copies of a few of the best shots. What a beautiful surprise! Also, our 3 year old has Autism and I don't think we've been able to get more than 2 pictures with him looking at the camera. Somehow Brandi managed to perfectly capture him in every shot. We will treasure these photos for life. We were absolutely delighted to work with such a kind, conscientious, and wonderful photographer. We would HIGHLY recommend her for any family or individual photos.

First off, he was able to squeeze me in when other arrangements fell through the cracks. My photos speak for themselves, they are absolutely gorgeous. I received way more photos than I ever imagined.

We will be looking forward to working with you in the future.

Dylan was so nice, engaging, and even asked us if there were any poses we had in mind for him to take. He also asked me if I preferred black & white photos, grainy photos, candids, etc. I thought that was really nice to ask me that because it made me feel confident he would deliver exactly what I had in mind. He sent our sneak peaks to us within 2 days and the rest of the photos within a week. They came out perfectly. Better than I could imagine! I'm so thankful for this beautiful moment and being able to look back on it, thanks to Dylan and his wonderful talents!!

Asia did a great job helping my partner feel comfortable in front of the camera as he normally avoids taking photos. She was great with communicating prior to the shoot and she got the photos back to us extremely fast!

She reached out to me via text a couple hours later, and I was so excited! But then... literally nothing. I followed up with her again on August 2nd, and still no response. I've followed her on Instagram for so long now, and she is so well liked and appreciated. What did I do to deserve the lack of customer service and complete disregard that she doesn't seem to provide to anybody else? In the contact form, I wrote to her about how excited I was for this specific milestone in my life and how I would love for her to photograph it since I've followed her for SO long. She even seemed excited in the text she initiated, so I know I didn't say something wrong. At first I figured she was busy, but then I never received anything noting that she would get back to me at a later time, etc. She does such beautiful work, but I am so disappointed in the way I was treated. As of this review there was still no contact from Asia after initial text. This was very unprofessional and I hope she doesn't do this to someone else in the future.

My husband and I aren't the type to take a lot of photos, which made Patrick and his team the perfect match since they are AMAZING at taking beautiful candids, but they are also so easygoing and funny that they were able to be our selves and get out of our comfort zone. He is highly professional and responsive and turned around our photos super quickly. We would highly recommend Patrick and his team to capture any special moment!

If you're looking for a videographer who will capture your big day and all the precious moments…read morethroughout it - look no further. We knew we wanted a great videographer for throughout the day but also specifically to capture our ceremony and special moments in the reception, as we had a sort of "destination" wedding and many of our family and friends couldn't be there in person. Our photographer recommended Patrick to us and from the very beginning, it was a blast. He worked with us to create a package based on our needs and was very friendly (and funny) from the get-go. When the big day came, we couldn't have asked for anyone better. It was wonderful that he already had a working relationship and rapport with our photographer (Alyssa Flores) so they were a great team already. He and Adam (the second shooter he brought along) seamlessly blended in and managed to capture our special day in such a beautiful and authentic way. And continued to make us laugh all throughout the day too; which is very important and true to us. :) Not to mention, he already had a preview video reel compiled by the end of the day (and was showing me little sneak previews throughout the day too). He then had our full video footage ready to go just days later; it was so exciting to be able to see everything so quickly. I'm so grateful for the beautiful work he did and that we now have that footage so we can relive our wedding day over and over for years to come. Hire Patrick if you want stunning footage and someone who goes the extra mile. He scoped out places to film and take photos with our photographer and we didn't have to give any guidance at all throughout the day (or leading up to it, really); he knows what he's doing and will capture your big day with beauty and ease. Thanks for helping to make our day so special, Patrick!
