Holly and Bruce did my engagement and wedding photos. They were so fun to work with…read more My fiancé and I got a referral for them through our wedding planner. Our main concern was we needed a photography team that was just as excited about our same-sex wedding as we were. After visiting with 3 potential photography companies we knew Holly Ireland was the most fun and of course had the best style to their photography. During our engagement session I think we worked them for the entire time we were entitled to. Three different locations all over San Diego County. Never once did they complain. Finally, for our wedding, they worked their butt off and produced photos that were beautiful and Instagram worthy. Being "customers for life" Holly shot our Christmas photos as well. She was great with kids. I can't wait to work with them again.

Holly was the first vendor I hired - over a year and a half out from our wedding, before we even…read morehad a date set! We were initially planning a March 2018 wedding, before finally settling on September 2018. Holly was great and very flexible with us changing dates around. I met Holly and her husband Bruce before hiring them - they left a great first impression, they are full of energy, professional & great people. Holly photographed our engagement photos in an unconventional way. My now husband was coming home from a 6 month deployment on a submarine & I wanted to have a photographer there and have those as our engagement pictures since we had gotten engaged right before he left on deployment. He came home from his last deployment in May 2017. Holly was very accommodating with our situation and not knowing a lot of details ahead of time due to operational security. The photos turned out beautiful, and we even got shots with my husbands family that was visiting from out of town. Holly made everyone feel comfortable and got through the pictures in a timely manner! Fast forward to our September 2018 wedding, I had sent Holly inspirational pictures that I wanted re-created on our wedding day & she made sure that we got them all! Holly and I had a phone call about a week before the wedding to discuss family shots and not to miss pictures, she provided lots of great suggestions along with taking my ideas into account as well. Holly was prompt on our wedding day meeting the ladies at the hotel and got to shooting straight away. I knew that Holly would blend in just fine with the moms and girls, she's professional yet personable. Bruce usually shoots with Holly on wedding days but he had a family accident and was unable to attend. Holly provided a wonderful substitute photographer - Derek of Derek Chad Photography. He was a wonderful addition and blended right in. You could tell that they had a great connection as photographers and worked well together! Holly and Derek were both extremely accommodating on our wedding day - they were available to us when there were group shots we wanted to get, yet they made sure not to miss all the details. The turnaround time for our pictures was phenomenal, I was in awe of how fast Holly returned the photos to us, she had the photos to us NINE DAYS after the wedding! I've heard of some people having to wait months, I'm very impressed with the turnaround time and the quality of Holly's photography! Holly was familiar with our venue and our getting ready location, the Coronado Community Center and the Glorietta Bay Inn. We were running a bit behind on the wedding day - Holly ensured that we were still able to get in all of the pictures and navigated Coronado like a pro! We are so pleased with the final product & the delivery of the product! I can't wait to display the photography around our future house and share with our families for the holidays. I hope to work with Holly in the future for all of our photography needs! Holly is professional, attentive to detail, and always energetic - you can't go wrong with booking Holly for any photography needs!

On top of that, he sent us sneak peeks the very next day, which made us even more excited to see the full gallery. Throughout the experience, Shaun was professional, patient, experienced, and attentive to what we wanted. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured every special moment beautifully. If you're looking for someone who is passionate about their work, I can't recommend Shaun enough.

Tiffany Allen Photography was the perfect match to bring this vision to life. Tiffany responded promptly and scheduled a consultation right away. She encouraged me to create a vision board and send her any images that inspired my vision. I met with her a week prior to the photoshoot at her studio, and I was absolutely blown away. The aesthetic was beautiful and exactly what I was looking for. Tiffany is an absolute gem. During the session, she made me feel comfortable and confident. I was able to relax, listen to her direction, not overthink each pose, and have fun! I was mostly impressed by how well she worked with my three-year-old daughter. She was so welcoming and patient, which allowed my toddler to warm up to her right away, making the experience enjoyable for the both of us. I could not be happier with the images. They are absolutely STUNNING! Tiffany did an amazing job capturing my vision. The photos are so much more than just a pretty picture. Rather than overly posed or a ton of props, her style is simple and raw, which really made the difference in truly displaying the relationship with my daughter and the love we share. I will cherish these photos forever. I cannot say enough good things about this photographer - her personality and professionalism, the overall experience, and the final product - she is the best! I will most definitely continue to work with Tiffany Allen Photography in the future and recommend her to anyone!!!

The first thing I noticed about Tiffany was her speed of response and how accurate she was in describing what she did, how long it took, where to do it and what it cost. Then came the emails and the texts with examples and a to-do list. I was to send her pictures of myself in outfits - and she commented on each one with her professional eye and we chose three. She was also incredibly flexible on where to shoot. On the day of the shoot, I was incredibly surprised at her eye to detail, willingness to take a million shots, constant change in her own positions and the ease with which she made me feel at home. It did not end there. A week later, I had a zoom apt with her that blew me away. I wanted to buy all of them but decided on five. Just excellent work! Tiffany is amazing - I am hoping soon I can get my entire team's shots with her. Thank you Tiffany!

I selected True Photography to shoot my engagement photos and wedding day. We had Pauleen as our…read moremain photographer for the wedding, with Myro as the second photographer. Both Pauleen and Myro are incredibly talented and professional photographers. Pauleen helped make us feel entirely at ease in front of the camera with her directions and constantly hyping us up. On our wedding day, she knew all the best photo spots at our venue and was able to get us a wide variety of photos for our couple's portraits. Myro did a fantastic job getting photos of all our guests during the cocktail hour. We had several guests compliment how friendly he was and how many people he captured. In the background leading up to our wedding day, the True Photography team helped put a photography timeline that aligned with our wedding coordinator's timeline. This helped ensure we got all the photos needed included first looks, couple's portraits, family portraits, etc. No special moment was missed by the team throughout the wedding. From first looks to dancing at the end of the night, we the full story of our wedding day captured!

True team helped us create a thorough timeline while offering suggestions/clarification so we knew what to expect and see the vision! Alex, Sheryl, and Dillan were assigned as our wedding day True team! Alex kept us on track with getting important photos and staying within the timeline. Alex was clear on posing directions and had such a calm demeanor/communication style that helped me feel reassured. Sheryl was our second photographer who captured the best candids and fun moments (e.g. one of the groomsmen had his shirt off and I didn't know until we saw the photos! HAHA). Dillan was here, there, and everywhere to get the best angles for our first dance, games, and guest reactions. Looking at our photos, I'm floored with how beautiful they turned out! The wedding day came and went like a flash, but now we have sooo many photos to remind us of the happy and heartwarming moments from that day. Excited to see how the videos turn out! Highly recommend considering True Photography & Video!

I reached out to a friend of mine who also does photography and she provided me with a list of photographers she would recommend. I told her I wanted the photographer she would use for her own pictures because I valued her opinion. She said without a doubt, select Leigh Castelli. I sent my daughter the links of all the photographers, and she too selected Leigh, so, we moved forward with booking. We had no idea what to expect, only that my daughter wanted her session at the beach. We met Leigh there and she had already found a few places she wanted to take pictures. The scenery, the lighting, and the moments she captured were absolutely perfect! She seemed to have a natural way about bringing out my daughter's personality immediately. She spent nearly two hours all over the area capturing shots I would never have imagined. I didn't have to worry about a thing; just let her do her work, and that's exactly what I needed. That evening she sent us a sneak peek of the photos and within a week I had the entire digital download available for me to make my selections. Leigh Castelli Photography was everything I hoped for, and much more. I'm so thankful to have found her to capture one of the most precious events in my daughter's life. Thank you, Leigh! I will definitely use your services in the future and will recommend you to everyone.

She and her assistant were fun, able to laugh with us - and at us (we have an interesting entourage of friends and family). They were also unobtrusive when need be (during the ceremony, first dance etc.) Basically, they were like picture taking ninjas. We are nothing but grateful for the hilarious, and amazing moments they captured at our wedding. In fact, we have so many great photos, it's made choosing which ones to frame and make an album with extremely difficult. (I may just have to use all of them).
