I love Byron Roe Photography! I recently started a business and needed some pictures for my…read morewebsite and blog. We had a photo shoot in downtown San Francisco and captured some amazing images...I still get compliments on them to this day. I found both Byron and Wendy extremely easy to work with, professional, fun, and most importantly, the images were awesome. Their wedding shots they take are really cool, and although I'm not engaged, they would be my first pick when I decide to get married. I also looked that their behind-the-scenes video on the website which was really neat to see...it gave me a good idea about what a typical photo shoot was like and what they're all about. Two thumbs up!

In addition to their incredible talent, they are also super friendly, down-to-earth, and flexible to work with. They listen and respond to our requests and questions promptly. Seriously, can't say enough great things about them! Hire them and you won't regret it!

From the start, he was very responsive with booking the best date/time and location for our family events. He provided a great list of beaches for me to review and choose from. We traveled to Hawaii with our 3yo and one grandmother so wanted to capture this family memory, especially the bond between my daughter and her grandmother. Mark answered all of my questions/concerns and gave me confidence we would capture a special day. He was amazing to work with during the session especially given our NOT easy 3yo who was tough to capture. He documented so many special photographs of our family and they are beautiful. He was brilliant and VERY patient working with our 3yo and cannot thank him enough for this. Pictures were also delivered faster than expected or stated in the contract. ***Major kuddos for his patience with out daughter and family. Overall--EXCELLENT and will book another session if returning to the Big Island. Thank you Mark!

TLDR: Hiring Star Production DJs was my biggest wedding regret. I wanted to leave my own wedding…read moreearly because I was so embarrassed about the DJ. Spoiler: They don't actually mix music - they just press play on a Spotify playlist/control the volume. It all started with the fact that I couldn't get anyone to talk to me until the week of my wedding. I chased them down a few times leading up, when I finally got connected to Jim aka "JIMBO" about three days before the event. I had some interesting/unique requests (it was a multicultural event, so needed to mix music from 2 different countries) that I wanted to clear by and hear the perspective of a professional DJ/mixer. When speaking to Jim, it felt like he was not listening to my requests or questions. He talked over me and just kept saying "how easy it was going to be." I had to just give in at some point and hope he got the gist of what I needed, but I obviously still had reservations after our call. It turned out I was right to have them. At the wedding, he disrespected my father when he asked for basic things (like, "it's getting to be dinner, please let the guests into the reception space, who are older and need to sit down"), instead Jim only wanted to listen to my mom, who was naturally busy and couldn't always be on deck to answer his questions or give direction. Jim didn't interpret any of our social cues correctly - he cut off the dad/daughter dance after about 30 seconds...even though it was really emotional and clearly we needed more time. (The crowd literally boo'd when he cut us off and my dad was like "not yet!") Jim routinely interrupted our most special and intimate moments, like when my now-husband and I were catching a moment just the two of us "backstage." He just waltzed in and started talking about his wife ... like bro, we're trying to just have a moment here? Also, the equipment he brought was plain faulty. Music stopped playing at multiple points in the evening. Dave, his manager/owner of the company, tried to pass this outage off as a "memorable moment" when my friends jumped in to sing and cover up the awkward pause. As if we had a choice when the music blows out mid chorus. Most of all, I was disappointed that there was no mixing involved--THIS is what a DJ does! Instead, Jim just stood there for 2 hours and pressed play on a Spotify playlist that I made. He didn't have a mixer or a turntable, he didn't do any remixing, dropping, transitioning, or anything else. I could have done what he did -- and charging more than 1,000 dollars for that is just unjustified. Leading up to my event, I spent hours filling out the online form that was provided and purposefully wanted to schedule and intro call way in advance to ensure my bases were covered. I also wanted to know about their mixing capabilities in advance (turns out there were 0 capabilities). And when I asked Jim about where his mixing equipment was the night of the wedding, he basically said, "oh I don't have the software for that, it's too expensive." When I raised this to Dave, he was like "your music requests were fulfilled." Sure man - but I didn't just hire some guy to press play and monitor the volume dial! My 5-year-old cousin could've done that. At the end of the day, it is not just about playing the songs I asked for--that's the literal bare minimum. On top of this, I had to frequently prompt Jim to make announcements about dessert, etc. Very annoying. Again, it just felt like we all had to work veryyy hard to keep the momentum going during the dancing portion of the party, which I was looking forward to. Lots of our guests can vouch that Jim was sub-par. We all started to feel the need to leave my wedding when we had 2 hours still left in the venue! And that's just a damn shame. When I raised all of the above to Dave, he provided 0 recourse. So do yourself a favor and hire someone else.
