Booking and payment were super easy online, and communication was excellent the whole way through. We told him we got married 25 years ago on a beach somewhere on the Nevada side of South Lake Tahoe (the exact spot is still a mystery!), and when he suggested Zephyr Cove Resort Beach, we knew he was our guy. I'll admit I was more nervous than my husband, but Daniel immediately made us feel comfortable. He's easy to talk to, fun, and knows exactly how to guide you through natural poses without anything feeling fake. We were laughing (actual laughing tears!) the entire time. We had the best time. We just got our proofs back, and I am beyond thrilled. His work is beautiful!! We started at 5pm and he got all the best of the area! Unreal!! You 'd never even know it was one of the windiest days ever! I can't wait to see the full gallery. If you're in the South Lake Tahoe area and need a photographer who's talented, personable, and genuinely cares about your experience, Daniel is the one.

We definitely plan to work with him again in the future!

Both my husband and I are not natural at posing for photos, and Holly did an amazing job at making us feel comfortable and making the photography fun. She played music and we had drinks and it felt way more like just having a good time than posed photography. Holly fit into the wedding perfectly, and knew how to capture all of the right moments. After the wedding, several of our friends told us how much they enjoyed Holly and how her vibe was perfect for our event. We've also seen a handful of the photos already, and they are PERFECT! Thank you Holly!!

He was easy to communicate with, flexible with short notice, and showed up right on time. Martin has a laid-back style, which worked well for the atmosphere we had. He moved around the venue without being intrusive and captured a solid variety of shots--some were great,, others more candid and casual, which actually helped show the vibe of the event. He posted the photos quickly to his website, which made it easy for us to share with our team and guests. I appreciated how simple he made the whole process--no hassle, accepted electronic payment, and delivered as promised. Martin was dependable and professional without being stiff or overproduced. I'll definitely keep him in mind for future events and would recommend him to others looking for someone reliable who knows how to blend into the scene and get the job done.

I repeatedly hear that they've never seen wedding photos as spectacular as ours, but that's merely because they haven't seen Annie's other wedding photos!!! :) When I think of wedding photos, I generally think of stale, static photos that are easily interchangeable by switching out the bride and groom, a few flowers, and colorful dresses. Annie's photos don't fall into this category! She is not a "wedding photographer" the way you generally think of wedding photographers. She is a brilliant photojournalist who will generously apply her artistry to your wedding. After first discovering her work, I can't stop looking at her pictures! I'm addicted to her blog to see all she's doing. They say a picture's worth 1000 words. Hers, on the other hand, leave me speechless!!! Check her out at http://anniexphoto.com

We didn't have to stress or think about a single thing when it came to the music because we fully trusted him, and he delivered beyond our expectations. Erik was always available for us, making time for check-in meetings, texts, and calls. He answered all of our questions and made sure to ask us the important questions so nothing was missed. That extra level of communication gave us so much peace of mind leading up to the big day. On the wedding night, he had an incredible ability to read the room, get the party started, and keep the energy going all night long. Our dance floor was packed from beginning to end, and our guests are still raving about how fun the night was. His professionalism, talent, and personality made him such a joy to work with, and we're so grateful he was part of our big day!

Even before our wedding, Erik was easy to communicate with and had a meeting with us to go over everything to ensure our wedding day went perfectly. Erik kept the energy up all through the night. Everyone said our music was great and the lighting added such a fun vibe to the dancing. Erik's attention to detail is amazing. Before we did our grand entrance into our first dance, he came up to us to ask how long we wanted to do our dance for. My husband and I knew we didn't want to do a long first dance, so Erik suggested a specific dance move to indicate that we're done. It was perfect! We are so glad we went with Erik and Epik Entertainment for our wedding. He was the best DJ and emcee! 1000000/10 recommend Epik Entertainment for all of their entertainment needs!!

Weddings are expensive and an investment, so I expect to get a good return on it. At the beginning for our engagement pics all was cool and I feeling confident about using her services. My wedding was kinda still during the height of covid, but everything seemed to be going well until the week of my wedding when I rec'd a text from her that she was not going to be able to shoot at my wedding bc she wasn't feeling well. I obviously was upset bc my contract was with her, but I had to be understanding of the situation too. What I didn't like was I had to trust a colleague of hers (Heather) who I had never met and didn't meet until my wedding day to take the best pictures possible. She did mediocre, and didn't capture very many couples pics nor family pics. (So glad I had relatives and friends who brought cameras. Most took better pics than the paid photographer, but I didn't pay them, I paid Kindred Souls for quality pics). She kinda rushed through our main pics and all the outdoor pics are hideous. Amber stated though she couldn't shoot my wedding, she'd do the editing, but she was sooo hard to get a hold of regarding status of my prints and just communication PERIOD! My wedding was in September and I didn't get my photos till mid December. I'd say I'm patient, but 4 months is ridiculous. When I sent my favorites back to her for editing I advised her they were not the clearest they could be and were too dark and to reedit. Here we are at the end of February and I still haven't heard back from Amber. Truly UNprofessional, poor customer service and a bad look on this business. They don't have to worry about me referring ANYONE to them! A waste of almost $1800, sigh.

Summary: Great experience, family friendly, accommodating, funny, high quality, will use again…read more Shoot photos can be seen here: http://www.daniellehankinson.com/edgelake-family-reunion-photos.html Our extended family has spent a week each summer at Kings Beach since 1986. It took us 26 years to realize our own attempts at family photos didn't capture the experiences the way we wished they did. My wife and I decided to get a professional pictures taken this year. We came across Danielle's website and were attracted to her work with large families as well as being a local to the kings beach area. As soon as we met Danielle, we knew it was going to be a good fit. Her humor was very similar to ours, and she knew how to apply the right amount mixed with direction to keep the process flowing. Our family covered 4 generations, with ages ranging from 84 to 18months. She was able to limit the impact and movement to the older folks while providing a treasure chest of little toys to entice the little ones. The pictures were painless, even with a group 20+ pale, squinty eyed people! After the shoot, approx 4 hrs later, Danielle returned with a projector, screen and ipad to review the photos and let us make our choices. It was so fun to sit around with the family and see the final product. This was a no pressure consultation and there was no upselling. We chose to go with a digital package allowing, us to share with the large family. We had to promise to get them printed (anywhere) eventually so they could be enjoyed and looked at every day. We continuously get complements on our photos. We also get some disbelief thinking that pictures that good can't be real. "There's no way that background is real", "That's not REALLY at Tahoe, is it?" I can't say enough good things about Danielle. She was a perfect fit for our family and I highly recommend her. As our kids grow (3 and 1.5 now) we'll definitely use her in the future.
