If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further! From our first meeting, Josh made us…read morefeel completely at ease, listening to exactly what we wanted and bringing so much warmth, professionalism, and excitement to the planning process. Our engagement shoot solidified that we had made the right decision. Josh made us feel at ease in front of the camera and our gallery was exactly what we wanted. On the wedding day itself, Josh and his team were a dream to work with. He has an incredible, calming energy that kept us relaxed and organized, while seamlessly managing our chaotic family photo sessions with kindness and authority. We told him we wanted our photos to capture the joy of the day, without feeling too much like a photoshoot and he delivered- he captured so many raw, real moments while also making sure we got the posed photos we asked for. Multiple family members and guests mentioned how delightful Josh and his team were to work with- they provided guidance but had such a calming presence. When we received our final gallery, we were speechless. The photos are stunning, artistic, beautifully edited and better than we had ever envisioned--true masterpieces that allow us to relive the best day of our lives over and over again. Josh's attention to detail, quick turn around time, and sheer volume of amazing shots exceeded all our expectations and we are forever grateful! We can't recommend him and his team enough!

We paid for her 6 hour package and she arrived early to the venue. She capture a great deal of memories that will last a lifetime!! Ally was so kind and professional. I will be definitely working with her in the future for other photography needs. If I could give 10 stars I would!! Thank You Ally!!

Ryan is basically a magician!!! Our photos came out not only beautiful but also full of life and…read morejoy. Going through all the photos made me teary-eyed, laugh, and immediately wonder if it'd be weird to use our wedding photos as bedroom wallpaper (my s/o convinced me this was a no-go, haha!). Ryan is not only obviously an incredible photographer, but he's ridiculously fun to work with. Hours before our ceremony, we needed to change venues which I worried would ruin the day. Despite the haze of anxiety and panic, Ryan had us all laughing and feeling present and excited! He's fun and knows exactly what he's doing, which made everyone feel at ease. I'm notoriously awkward in photos, but with Ryan, I just felt comfortable and ridiculously stoked! Okay, one last thing about why you definitely need to book Ryan is he's extremely fast! We weren't expecting our photos until at least a month after the ceremony, but somehow two nights later I got a very happy surprise that they were done (like I said, he's a magician)! I feel so grateful that we had such an amazing photographer capture our special day and will forever use Ryan for any other special events!

OH MY GOD. STOP READING THESE REVIEWS. Your search is over and just book Ryan already!…read more I was initially drawn to his style because he can capture "in the moment" shots. The small looks and giggles between the staged shots. He was able to capture all of that. One of my favorite things about my photos was that he was able to capture my guests' genuine reactions during the wedding. He truly can rock the momemt. So talented! He knows how to pose people in small, medium, and large groups. He'll remind guests if they need to button any jackets to get that great shot. He knows how to incorporate the background so he isn't just taking pictures of people but really the entire environment. There is great balance in the photos. He was extremely flexible the day of. We had minor schedule changes and he just went with the flow. I am SOOOO grateful he was able to photograph our big day. THANK YOU RYAN!!

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

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!

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.

I dont have enough good words for Ashley. From the first moment of our initial consultation I knew…read moreAshley was going to be the perfect photographer for our wedding day. We spent the first 30 minutes just chatting so she could understand what my vision for the day was and what was the most important to capture. I wanted a few very specific things (that included leaving our venue for 45 minutes) and Ashley was not just on board but had suggestions to make them better. After this she provided clear pricing tiers and I felt like I had so much autonomy in what I was paying for. Throughout the planning process Ashley was a great resource and she pivoted many times tk make sure we had everything captured before the ceremony started. Then came the wedding weekend. And Ashley outperformed even what I was expecting. We opted to have her at our rehearsal dinner and I cannot recommend this enough. Having her getting to know the key players in our wedding day was so helpful. All of our family and friends talked about how much they loved getting to talk with her and get nice family portraits during this time. I have attached a few photos from our rehearsal dinner (which we got back about 2 weeks after the event and it only took about 2 more weeks to get all the wedding photos) as well as a photo of the poloraid book we received day of ( GET THIS getting to have this to look at the next day was one of our favorite memories of the weekend) as well as some photos she had taken on her phone that I received right away. Ashley truly is a world class photographer and if I could do it all over again I would go with her in a heartbeat.

The booking process was seamless and she is quick to respond. Only a week after our maternity photos, we received proofs- way quicker than I expected. She has a variety of package options that can fit into any budget. We booked a petite session with it just being the two of us, and had TONS of beautiful images to choose from-- Which brings me to my next point. This lady is so talented. The lighting and posing were timeless and natural. She knows exactly how to direct you to capture your best angles, and make you feel totally comfortable while doing so. If you are looking for a photographer to capture beautiful timeless photographs of you and your loved ones, look no further. Seriously these are like the photos you see of people thinking, how are they so photogenic? How are these so artistic? But insert yourself in the photo. I definitely hope to book for future family photos once our little girl makes her appearance.

Then she captured our wedding Jul2019 when I was 7 months pregnant and she made me look and feel so gorgeous in all my photos. Recently, we did a small photo shoot for my sons 1st birthday and again she nailed it. She's very easy to communicate with, knows exactly what she is doing, and makes you feel super comfortable during the shoot. Her prices are also very fair and she works with you to get what you want. We love Lianna and hope to book her again in the future. If you are looking for a photographer, look no more!

I will be forever grateful that Melanie at Siren Boudoir came into my life…read more While searching for a Boudoir Photographer as a gift to my now husband on our Wedding Day, I reached out to over a dozen photographers and no one shared my vision nor matched my needs more than Melanie. She was impressively responsive, extremely personable, and exquisitely professional. I had so many qualms and anxieties headed into the shoot that quickly dispersed once I met her in person and we got started. Melanie opened up her beautiful home to me and made me feel at ease. She gave me plenty of direction while still allowing me to share my creative suggestions. She kept to her word on when the initial proofs were to be delivered and I was blown away by what I saw. (My husband was too!) Melanie has a genuine knack for capturing the most beautiful aspects of any woman and putting them on film. I cannot wait to return again to do another photo shoot in a few years (or maybe even for maternity photos when that time comes). Her prices were so extremely competitive (even though she wasn't the cheapest) but the value I received from the quality of work surpasses what I paid. She was definitely not even the closest (as I drove over 1 1/2 hours from Upland to Beaumont) but she was worth the traffic. Thank you, Melanie! You now feel like a longtime friend to me.

Love this photographer! Melanie did such an amazing job showing me at my best! I actually had a…read moresession scheduled with a photographer from a different company but she cancelled on me an hour before my shoot. I was so upset because I spent so much money getting myself ready for the shoot (hair, tan, eyelashes, nails). Luckily, I was referred to Melanie with Siren Boudoir and she was able to take me that same day and I'm soooo happy she did! My pictures came out so much nicer, more polished, and definitely more professional looking than the pictures I saw on the other photographer's website. When I gave my pictures to my boyfriend for Christmas, he was literally speechless! I was so impressed that I recommended her to a friend. My friend went ahead and booked a session and loved it too! Melanie definitely makes you feel very comfortable (which can be difficult if you plan on being a half naked sexy seductress LOL). I love that I look like me in my pictures with the advantage and the best lighting and poses. LOL You will definitely be pleased with Melanie's work. She's not cheap, but you definitely get more for your buck with her. Besides, when you're getting boudoir shots captured, you don't want an amateur.
