Holly and Bruce did my engagement and wedding photos. They were so fun to work with…read more My fiancé and I got a referral for them through our wedding planner. Our main concern was we needed a photography team that was just as excited about our same-sex wedding as we were. After visiting with 3 potential photography companies we knew Holly Ireland was the most fun and of course had the best style to their photography. During our engagement session I think we worked them for the entire time we were entitled to. Three different locations all over San Diego County. Never once did they complain. Finally, for our wedding, they worked their butt off and produced photos that were beautiful and Instagram worthy. Being "customers for life" Holly shot our Christmas photos as well. She was great with kids. I can't wait to work with them again.

While planning a quick family getaway to Carlsbad this summer I was lucky to discover Holly during…read moreon-line searches. I knew immediately that she was the right photographer for our group by her friendly responses and her expert shoot location recommendations. She exudes positive energy and happiness and truly made our shoot FUN! I look at our pics and think we all look relaxed and genuinely happy and a big part of that was Holly's laid back but professional demeanor in managing the process. You can't go wrong having Holly behind the lens A+++ experience!

There aren't enough words of praise in the English language for Shaun of Top Shelf Photo! We were…read morelucky enough to find him on Yelp for our engagement photos, and in mid-November of 2024 he braved the chill of Palomar Mountain to take spectacular photos of us. Nonstop compliments from friends and family, and received much quicker than anticipated. Once we got into wedding planning, Shaun was the obvious choice for our photography needs. Along with his second shooter Jess (Jessica Christie Photography), he again knocked it out of the park. Couldn't have asked for more perfect photos. On a more personal note, Shaun is the above-and-beyond type of person to take the absolute best shots possible. Like, fixing the boutonniere on my suit himself for the exact right angle, or gently shoo'ing away stinkbugs while helping my wife to re-tie her wedding shoes type of person. His passion and dedication for his craft are inspiring, and I guarantee if you don't love being in photos as a general rule (like myself) he will absolutely put you at ease and make it look like you've been modeling all your life. Thank you for everything Shaun, from the bottom of our hearts.

My surfing teacher (Nick Fowler, I've reviewed him too) was really good at keeping me focussed so that the photos Katie took are 100% comfortable. Katie was really friendly before and after the shoot. She did some amazing editing work on the photos and had them ready very quickly. I would recommend Katie to anyone seeking a friendly, experienced photographer with a unique (flattering!) photo style.

He is great to work with and will make you feel at ease and enjoy your time taking photos. He was very responsive in setting up our photo shoot and helped collaborate on locations that would make it less stressful for us. The turn around of the final edits was quick too! I also felt the photo packages were reasonable. We cherish our engagement photos- they are still my favorite photos of us, and we are excited to use our new headshots on our website! We'll come back in the future for family photos!

His calm demeanor, incredible attitude and patience with our crew was a winning combination. Greg made everyone--young and older--comfortable in front of the camera, and captured the most incredible moments because of it. Before we even got the pictures back, we had feedback from our families about how wonderful it was working with him. Within a few weeks, we received a file with all of our photos. While clicking through each of them, we were able to relive the most amazing day creatively captured one beautiful frame after the next. We were amazed with the angles of the photos throughout the church, smiles he coaxed out of our flower girls, and the candid moments he snapped. Thank you, Greg Cali!! I would highly recommend The Cali Life Photography and look forward to working with Greg and his team again!

I don't want to write something generic and say her work is amazing (it is all of this), but it's more than that. She is warm, caring, accommodating, honest, and patient. Having these qualities puts you at ease and allows you to enjoy the moment which results in unforgettable photos. We've never regretted or been unhappy with what she produces. Year after year we are excited to take our annual photos with Eri and Folklore Photo. My kids (typically kind of shy) warm up to her quickly so that the pictures bring out each and everyone's best qualities. Lastly, there were delays with our prints (out of her control) and although we were ok with this, she drove a very far distance to personally drop off our canvases to avoid any further delay. I almost didn't want to let everyone know how great she is because I want to keep her all for myself hahaha.
