Long overdue this review is. Best photography studio in the universe Catseye Photo Studio is…read more Understood the need for high quality engagement pictures I did not. However, feared much the wrath of my fiancee I did. "Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. " -Yoda The Dark Side and a lifetime of suffering by selecting Catseye I avoided. Ok...trying to speak like Yoda is easier in theory than in practice. The photographers at Catseye are strong in the ways of the camera. My fiancee and I wanted photos that would last a lifetime. Photos to show to our kids when they grow up and remind them that their parents used to be hot stuff...before the burdens of parenthood robbed us of our beauty and youth. The photos I got back from Catseye are so good that I can lie convincingly to my children and tell them that my career as a male model was tragically cut short by an inability to turn to the left. I have a problem with being too stiff...and luckily I didn't have to seek medical treatment after 4 hours. The photographers at Catseye are fantastic when it comes to coaching folks that have never been in front of a camera. They provided excellent direction and didn't give up screaming "Relax!!" even after the 2nd day of shooting. I also got a glimpse of how my future wife would treat me if I were in a vegetative state based on the way she moved me around after she gave up trying to explain what I should be doing or where I should be standing for the camera. I highly recommend Catseye if you're in the market for a one stop shop for high quality engagement/wedding pictures. I was truly impressed with their creativity and attention to detail. They coordinated with the make-up artist and hair stylist to implement the "look" we planned to achieve, screened our wardrobe and scouted potential locations in advance to research lighting and wind conditions, and drew up a battle plan to optimize the number of locations we could shoot at each day. I felt like a VIP from start to finish and I can't thank Catseye enough for my new eHarmony profile pics!

Our family and friends loved the photos. They were even better than we expected. I wish they were located in Seattle as we moved back up here and had our wedding up here. I would have used them for my wedding photos as well! Well worth the money as you get what you pay for!

Finding the right photographer is critical in getting the best photos, and unlike other studios which you go through sales pitch before you can really talk to your photographer, I Promise studio's personalized attention instantly gave us comfort to go with them for a full day worth of photo shoot. Shinling is a sharp photographer who captures great shots, and David is very detailed oriented throughout the entire process, from offering packages, photo shoot experience/expectation, posture coaching, to post sales customer service and follow-up. I highly recommend I Promise Studio!

We had so much fun doing the photo shoot and both of them knew exactly what we wanted and they were very creative in coming up with various ways of telling our story of our bundle of joy who will arrive in just a few short weeks. They are very easy to talk to and they work with what you want and are very professional in coming up with ways to make your vision come true. We can't wait to see the photos and we would definitely use ARKA photography for our next event and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a photographer/videographer.

I absolutely love them and will continue to come to them for our future events!! From the moment we met with them, they immediately spoke to us like we were already their friends. They knew what we wanted and it was very easy to understand the vision they had when explained to us! I didn't hire a wedding coordinator because.. inflation and budgets lolll but at the end of the day, Sahag made me feel comfortable enough to call him and ask him for his advice on how long each part of the day would take in regards to creating an itinerary and making sure we had enough time for everything. I must have called Sahag at least 50x!! Poor guy lol! But he never seemed annoyed, never gave me an ounce of negative energy, he was always willing to help, and never let one call go to voicemail! WOW!! During both our engagement and wedding shoots, I was getting a little cranky with the pains from my heels (I hate heels and I hate the man who invented heels even more!) and they knew exactly how to handle the situation and always made sure I kept a smile on my face! Come to find out, they had also worked on my SIL's christening and her parents wedding! So it's easy to say that they're pretty much family at this point! Lolll These guys work hard to make sure you have the greatest day of your life and they do it so smoothly and make it look so easy!! We weren't even speaking to photographers we hired, we were speaking with friends! I can't emphasize that enough!! We will continue to recommend them to all of our friends and family members! Sahag and Shahe and the videographers (I wish I had their names, I'm so sorry!) thank you for allowing us to have the SMOOTHEST wedding day possible while also being apart of our celebrations! We are forever grateful to you guys and we can't wait to work with you again on our future events!

We met Eddie and Dani (brothers) when we hired them for our daughter's baptism. The photos were…read moreamazing so we decided to have them back for her first birthday, and it was the best decision ever. I was so happy with the finished pictures, each one was unique and beautiful. Sometimes it feels like all the pictures from an event look the same, but Eddie made sure to use different angels, backgrounds, people and moments in the time he was there. To top it off, they're really nice guys and not awkward or bossy. The finished pictures were edited beautifully. These aren't your typical "nice" family pictures, or the kind you think "I could've taken these myself." These are the ones you stop to look at and say, "wow, that's a REALLY great picture."

I've never written a Yelp review before but it is my pleasure to rave about Spantman Photography…read more My husband and I hired Spantman Photography for our wedding four years ago. They were a relatively new company at the time but I had seen their portfolio and it was different--and better--than most portfolios I had seen during my search for a wedding photographer. They had a great eye for taking our engagement pictures. At the wedding, I was very impressed and pleased with how they handled the timing, the personalities, changing venues between ceremony and reception, and capitalizing on what was important to me and my husband. Both Eddie and Dani have a pleasant, and not-at-all intimidating demeanor, perfect for stressful events like taking pictures at a wedding or of a toddler. I appreciated how they asked what was important to us and were able to get different perspectives having two photographers on the job at all times. The pictures were gorgeous and came to us in an awesome book. My husband and I hired Eddie again to take some pictures of our toddler, after she turned one-year-old, at the beach--not an easy task! We have no doubt we will use them again for family photos and highly recommend them to anyone in the Los Angeles or San Diego areas.

Naheed is prompt, professional, thorough and flexible. One of my longtime clients needed a…read morephotographer to cover a business event (summer 2012) on relatively short notice (a bus tour and luncheon for prospective developers and business owners.) I indentified three reputable photographers and sent detailed inquiries to them in the early evening hours (after 6.) Naheed was the first and best response. I handled the pre-event interaction with Naheed; my client handled the post-event interaction. We were both pleased. Naheed: 1) Arrived early 2) Took time to understand the nature of the event and the client's end goals 3) Was professional in person 4) Was professional in communication 5) Was unobtrusive when she chose to be (which helped her get some candid shots) 6) Was flexible about staying for an extra hour (we of course paid for the extra time) when the event ran a bit late 7) Delivered the files sooner than expected 8) Handled all client requests well My same client recently (Spring 2014) needed a photographer again. I reminded my client about Neheedence, and they asked her to take some additional photos for their website and promo materials. When I followed up to ask about the result, they reported equal satisfaction with Naheed's second booking. My client also remarked on her ability to talk to people and put them at ease before photographing them.

I hired her to do a few pictures of me for my blog. My photo shoot went better than expected thanks to Naheed. She was very pleasant to work with and has an eye for what looks good. She offers great suggestions and I suggest that if you work with her, just give her some time and room to get creative. The pictures Naheed took were perhaps the best photos ever taken of me. I highly recommend her if you need a professional photographer.

I needed a photographer for my daughter's baptism in a weeks' time. She was able to accommodate me and quoted me an affordable price. Ailyn and her husband showed up on time to the church and they were very polite and friendly to me and my family. They also had to deal with my daughter who is a huge crybaby lol. She took a lot of different shots of everything and every part of the ceremony including the exterior. The way she edited the pictures is beautiful and simple just the way I asked her to. The website where you download the photos is very user friendly which I really appreciate. Overall I would totally recommend Ailyn. She is super nice and professional and I would hire her again.
