Amazing work! My husband and I were in need of a photographer for our wedding. During our engagement I had researched many photographers and had sat down with a handful. I hadn't found the perfect fit for our wedding. It was very important for us to find a photographer that we clicked with and felt comfortable. This is because we knew we would share one of the most intimate and special days in our lives with the photographer. We met James at the Bridal Expo in Del Mar. Although I had attended the prior Bridal Expo. I was determined to find a day of planner and a photographer. I had set my expectations high and wouldn't settle for anything less. I immediately fell in LOVE with Jame's work. My husband and I sat down with James in person and had booked him. James made us feel comfortable during our wedding. I never once felt that someone was lurking over us and taking pictures. Our pictures came out amazing! I would book him again if I ever need a photographer. He is the best! I would refer James to anyone looking for great experience and most importantly amazing pictures!

If you want the BEST photographer and the most creative photos, you must work with James at Masterwork Weddings! His work is amazing. My husband and I are extremely happy with our engagement and wedding photos. We learned about Masterwork Weddings through our friends who had also used James for their wedding. All of the photos we saw were amazing! I highly recommend working with James and his team. They will work so hard to capture the most important moments. Masterwork Weddings was hands down the hardest working vendor I hired for my wedding day and the one I am the MOST pleased with! Thank you so much James for everything!

One of my many favorites by James!

James is a true artist! He's just amazing to work with, creative and accommodating. My husband kept whispering to me during our pictures at our wedding: "these photos are going to be amazing!" And they truly are! Thank you James! You are the best!

We hired James as our photographer for an outdoor wedding on Coronado in May, and we cannot say enough great things about how wonderful the photographs turned out! He worked with us on a timeline, planning for special shots, and lighting well before our event, and then made sure all photography went without a hitch on the big day. His preparation and gentle demeanor made working with him such a pleasure! I've already recommended him to friends and family for their special events.

I feel really lucky to have found James as my wedding photographer. As a bride, I was looking for somebody organized, easy to work with and would be good at shooting an outdoor beach wedding. I highly recommend James as a wedding photographer. He was such a pleasure to work with during my wedding on 2.27.2016. He was very organized and helped us plan our group shots so we could maximize time. Thanks James for capturing my beautiful sunset wedding photos on the beach. 5 stars.

There are not enough words to describe how truly WONDERFUL and PERFECT our experience was with…read moreAllie (and team). I knew from our first intro call that we were going to be a great match for wedding photos and the whole process leading up to it. Allie is so positive, reassuring, professional, and has the absolute best energy. We knew we wanted someone who we vibed with extremely well seeing as neither my husband nor I are models and aren't the most comfortable in front of a camera. Allie made us feel beyond comfortable and we had such a fun time every time we got together with her that every photo looked natural and perfect in turn! We did our engagement photos with Allie first, and with fires in So Cal we had to re schedule last minute. We're not local so this meant another trip to San Diego, but Allie was overly accommodating and did whatever was needed to make it work for us. She tracked weather patterns and adjusted on the fly to ensure we got the perfect beach photos we were hoping for! We talked and laughed the whole time I had no idea how many photos she actually got, come to find out she got a TON of absolutely perfect looking photos!! We were so beyond thrilled. Leading up to our wedding day, Allie was in touch with us to build timelines, photo lists, and discuss our vision. In terms of vendor support she is seriously top notch and was always available to us. On our wedding day, Allie brought the same infectious energy and positivity we had received from her all along and that made SUCH a huge difference in our day! She made us feel like royalty, so relaxed, and kept us smiling and laughing the entire time. Both film and digital pictures turned out UNREAL and we have never been happier with photos of ourselves! Allie is one of a kind and her work is the most stunning art I've ever seen. We are so thrilled to have met her and been given such magical forever keepsakes from our big day, I cannot wait to work with her again for future life events. Not only did we find the most perfect wedding vendor in Allie, but we found a forever friend as well and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. You will not regret working with Allie and I am so thrilled we found her and were able to have her with us throughout this journey! ALLIE YOU ARE THE BEST IN THE BIZ!!!!

From the very beginning, Allie was incredibly easy to talk to. Right from our initial phone call,…read morewe got such good vibes and just knew she was the real deal. In fact, she was the very first vendor we booked -- and every single vendor we hired afterward had nothing but amazing things to say about her. That reassurance made us feel like we were in great hands. I originally found Allie on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her photography style. The way she incorporates film and edits her digital photos to match gave her work such a timeless feel. We got to work with her for our engagement shoot, and she instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She guided us through poses with such ease, and we're so grateful because the photos turned out absolutely beautiful. On our wedding day, Allie and her team were a total joy. They brought the energy, the direction, and the professionalism. Our entire wedding party couldn't stop raving about how seamlessly she managed the photos and how confident she was behind the lens. We truly can't wait to see our wedding photos, because if they're anything like the experience we had working with her, they're going to be incredible. Thank you so much, Allie, for everything!

Five stars doesn't do Something Pleasing any justice. Six stars?!!?!…read moreBasically, Chris is amazing and makes everything look beautiful. He is ridiculously patient (like...ridiculously patient). I am not super easy to deal with and I had no idea what I wanted my shoot to be like, but Chris asked me some questions about what I like and don't like, and I felt super comfortable around him which makes a HUGE difference. Chris gives great direction and also loves to work with the personality of the client, which results in natural-looking, beautiful shots. He is also terrifyingly talented. HOW is someone so talented? Seriously, if you haven't yet, go check out his website (http://somethingpleasing.com/), and then contact him and find a reason to get a photoshoot. Chris is so creative and intuitive, and I love that he has a direction he can take the shoot based on the client and the place, but he also allows the client to have the freedom to do what they want to. Special story: I LOVED that Chris noticed I was a little uncomfortable at the beginning of the shoot (because I am not used to having all these pictures taken) and so he stopped us for a second when we got started and we prayed (he knows I love to pray) and he said something like having this shoot be something we can make together (he sounds like such a sweet-talker). I love how he works with the client and it truly makes a huge difference in his shoots. Basically, I refuse to have anyone else shoot photos for me because I have been spoiled by the best. Go ahead and do the same.

First of all, I just want to say he is an excellent photographer! We had a wonderful experience…read morewith him. He make us feel very comfortable and relaxing while he took our photos. He start by spending time playing with our kids, therefore getting to know them to bring down that initial barrier. My kids were having so much fun playing with him, and that's when he captured all the cutest moments. Throughout the whole process, he was very patient and professional because he has a little boy of his own as well, so he knew how to deal with kids. He is very smart that he understands what you want from the photo shoot. He is a very easy going person that he'll try his best to accommodate you. What I like about him is prompt, straightforward, precise and good at seizing the moment. He really has a gift in photography. His finishing products have a very simplistic feel, the emphasis is always on the people, nice and simple, that's what we wanted. I would definitely have him to shoot our family photos again soon.

First off, I'd like to specify that this review of Jerry is not only as a client (which I am) but…read morealso from the perspective of another photographer. As a photographer I know who to hire for events and I hired Jerry. Now the reason that Jerry photographed my (much) younger sister's Bat Mitzvah is precisely because Jerry is amazing. Notice that I didn't say "amazing photographer" (which he is). I left that statement hanging with just the word "amazing." That's because Jerry also happens to be a wonderful friend, father, and all around human being. I will actually challenge you to find someone nicer. And yes, he happens to be a fantastic photographer and a total gearhead. I think in selecting a photographer for something like a wedding you should look at how talented the photographer is. Absolutely you should like their images. BUT you should also get a sense for how enjoyable that person is to be around and how honest that person is. This is a person you will interact with a lot. Really a lot sometimes. Your photographer is probably the person you spend the most time with on your wedding day (sometime more than your new spouse) and is the vendor that you will probably have the longest relationship with. Really think about that. I wouldn't typically be so hyperbolic, but in this case it's true: Jerry is the nicest guy I know. If you like his images then you have every reason to hire him.
