Kyle was truly great to work with on my proposal photoshoot. He was already experienced with the…read morelocation I wanted to do the proposal and was able to offer helpful advice on how to make things go smoothly. He listened attentively to my vision for the proposal, which was to have the moment feel as private and candid as possible. He was able to deliver on that perfectly by staying hidden and shooting on a zoom lens from far enough away that my girlfriend (now fiancée!) didn't even notice he was there until well after the ring was on. In the remainder of the time we had booked him for, he guided us through a session with various different poses and lighting, and we got some really dramatic and memorable shots! Finally, Kyle worked really quickly to get us our edited photos, and we were even able to opt for a selection of the photos to be delivered the same day so we could use them to announce the good news to our family and closest friends. Thanks so much for everything Kyle!

He's a lovely person and a 10/10 photographer. Highly recommend

Mattie was my top choice for photographer when I was researching who I wanted to hire to take…read moreportraits of me and my chosen family for my 40th birthday. She was always super responsive, and on the day of the service, she knew all the great angles and spots to capture some great memories. Her pricing packages were fair, and her work was incredibly exceptional. I got the package with 15 downloadable images, but I bought 10 more! She just captured so many beautiful moments that I couldn't decide on just 15 images. Mattie was great, friendly, and obviously an expert at her craft. For any future photography needs in the desert, I am definitely hiring Mattie again!

What can I even say about Mattie that isn't already absolutely clear from her work?! She's…read moreamazingly talented, of course. The person behind the camera is also just an absolute pleasure to work with. She helped make our engagement & wedding photos a breeze, and was always the perfect balance between professional and like a genuine friend. She fulfills her commitments and is demonstrably dedicated to the service she's providing. She was up-front with costs of photo packages which was a breath of fresh air when planning our wedding. We would highly recommend Mattie to anyone looking for an incredible photographer. Forever grateful, Mr. & Mrs. Kohn-Levine

Sydney is top notch…read more She works with her clients to ensure they get what they want within budget. While she offers many packages she is able to create custom packages as well to fit your needs. I was was worried that we werent able to get a good photographer based on our budget, and I know that photographers are part of the most expensive aspect of a wedding because of quality. But everyone I had looked at prior, would have charged me DOUBLE for HALF the time if not more. Sydney understands and works hard to give you what you want. She is professional, but also fun. She obsesses over detail, and loves to be creative. She is prompt with communication and answering any questions you have. I opted for a boudior photoshoot to gift my husband with on the day of the wedding, Sydney Drove all the way to Los Angeles and shot a very classy and tasteful spread at a very cool studio. The whole ordeal took about 2 hours and the photos where flawless. When the wedding came around, Sydney drove all the way up to my wedding venue in Los Alamos, which is about 4 hours drive from her office location. And her travel fee was affordable too. I can't believe this girl. She brought her bff Natae to shoot videography of the event. Natae was a sweetheart and another badass whom I felt completely comfortable with. Time flew by during the wedding, and my husband and I were pulled in so many directions by the Coordinator and guests. Sydney would not leave until she felt she captured as many photos of us as possible. She refused to allow us to not have more choices. So she waited until we had a chance to get some more photos! I have never heard of any photographer who would stay behind to make sure everything possible could be captured. She wanted to be sure we were happy, and is so detail oriented, she wouldnt leave until she was satisfied with the photos taken. Its only been about 2 weeks and I am already getting sneek peeks of the photos. I am obsessed and cannot wait to see the rest! I 100 million percent reccomend Sydney Contois Photography and Videography to capture your special day.

BRIDES BEWARE!!! The precious memories of our family members' wedding have been robbed. Literally,…read moreafter thousands spent to capture their nuptials and more than a seven-month wait period, they have no photos of their special day. Not only are calls and messages ignored, but other reviews suggest this photographer is putting other couples through a similar hell. The next option is a legal action, which could be easily avoided and resolved by sending the pair a flash drive. At the end of the day, the newlyweds just simply want to have what they paid for, memories that cannot be recreated of their wedding day. Please take this into serious consideration before hiring this photographer.

We were done shooting in a little over an hour, with a toddler (huge win!). Jacey showed me one photo on her camera the day of with no edits and I just knew they were gonna be gorgeous. We had the photos within a week and we were soooo happy, I cry looking at them. I 1000% recommend Jacey, she makes you feel comfortable, it felt like we had known each other prior to meeting ha.

She was extremely thorough and professional in helping him plan the time of day with the best lighting and location within the park as he is from out of town. She captured the entire proposal from a short distance away (she was taking photos of the landscape/nature when we arrived so it would be a surprise!) and took lots of posed shots for us too - you can trust her to help you with all the details. I love the candid shots, close ups, and her ideas for poses, and the pictures of the scenery that she included. She sent us two "sneak peak" photos that very same night to share with our family and friends, then a video collage and the full gallery a couple weeks later. When I saw the whole gallery, I was so moved - she captured all the emotions of such a special moment for us and allowed me to relive it and for that I am so grateful. I will treasure the photos and memories forever. We could not have asked for a better experience, thank you Noemy!
