If zero was a possibility I would give a zero. Just don't book with this guy! Photos shouldn't take more than 3-4 weeks for AT LEAST the unedited version. read more

Yelp review I am not one to typically leave reviews on here but this is well deserved. My husband and I got married September 4, 2022. We found Julian through social media and as a young couple (myself in nursing school and my husband new to his Air Force career) needed quality wedding photos without costing a complete fortune. We met him last year for our engagement shoot. No red flags at all. Julian and his wife at the time, Lacey were great and our engagement pics turned out beautiful. Leading up to the wedding, there were some red flags that alarmed us and we quickly reached out to Julian. As he publicly shared on his Instagram that they were going through a divorce , things turned messy real quick. Julian called me at 3 am, breaking the client vendor relationship. As if I was going to help him with his family issues. Then my husband and I noticed that he was going live on his Instagram account. He was publicly sharing his divorce, and what looked like drug abuse. We understand that people go through troubles, and we quickly asked him if this would affect our wedding. He reassured us that everything would be fine and that he would be at our wedding. After us after several meetings prior to the wedding, we were reassured that everything was fine and that he had everything under control. He was even posting that he was working on other weddings, and what looks like no problems at all from the outside. The wedding day came, and he showed up an hour late may I add. The most important day of my life, and after giving him a list of photos that I wanted, it was not met. The location that I got ready at and the venue were about 15 minutes apart and Julian left way before I did and wasn't there to get photos of me getting my dress on with my mom. For that matter, I don't have any pictures with my mom at all from that day. On the day of, I was telling him what pictures to take. He had no sense of control over the wedding. We also took sunset pictures which ultimately ended up being in the dark because he had us an hour behind schedule. He kept sneaking away for "water" breaks in the parking lot when pictures needed to be taken. We had plenty of water and drinks for him to have yet he kept escaping to the parking lot. Time goes by after the wedding, and I still have never received sneak peaks and to this day, I haven't received sneak peaks. I start confronting him asking for dates of when I will receive my stuff, and all of a sudden his laptop was mysteriously hacked into. He has gone live on Instagram at random times in the middle of the night, showing his altered mental state. Finally my husband and I had a chance to talk to him on the phone and he said that he was getting his laptop fixed. My husband asked if we could receive the raw photos because it was in the contract and we didn't want to risk anything happening to his laptop again. He agreed but I had to purchase a $80 hard drive and drive four hours total to another city to meet him to get my pictures downloadied. My dad and I planned to meet him at a local Starbucks and he showed up over an hour late. After sitting in a Starbucks for six hours, I patiently waited for my photos to download onto the hard drive. He told us that by October 3 we would have sneak peaks and by October 13th we would have the final result of photo and video. That date came and it was pushed back even further. Then we were told by October 17 at 6 AM we would have sneak peaks and by October 26 we would have the final result of everything. Those days arrived, and still nothing in our possession. We have called him , texted him , social media messages, countless of times and no responses at all. We were scammed. I called my bank to file a claim and no luck. Julian is posting on social media that he has money and is collecting more deposits from new clients when he hasn't even helped his past clients. The heartbreak that my husband and I have gone through from what would've been the best day of our lives is now ruined, because those memories will never return. Like I said, we are a young couple and my husband lives in another state serving our country while I complete nursing school. To dress up again in our wedding outfits and pay someone else to take our photos is just not ideal (and definitely not the same). We have special pictures with our grandparents and parents and other family members that can never be done again. Julian is stealing money from innocent families and getting away with it. Despite going through personal struggles, we expect honesty and communication. We just want our edited photos and video. This is what we paid for. Julian does beautiful work and for our engagement shoot he was great to work with, but I do not recommend him to anyone because I do not want anyone to go through what we have gone through. Here are just some screenshots of the conversations and the ignored messages that I've been sent. read more

I can't even begin to tell you how fantastic Julian and Lacey are! We met them at the beach where we were going to be married and immediately made us feel very comfortable and even more excited about the big day. One thing we needed for sure was for our video to be edited on short notice for the reception a few days later back home in Las Vegas. Julian promised it wouldn't be a problem and we had it in two days in time to show family and friend ls at the big reception. The pictures and video turned out amazing, we couldn't be happier with them. If you're looking for really good people who are dedicated to giving you the best effort they have in every moment they capture, you will find it with Julian and Lacey at paint a perfect picture. read more

This business is not only unprofessional but it is a complete SCAM! The photographer could not provide his own transportation on the wedding day, and when he arrived he arrived wearing only a vest NO SHIRT. This is a formal wedding and he shows without a shirt. It has been over 2 months and he continues to ignore messages/phone calls and refuses to provide even the raw/unedited footage. DO NOT BOOK. read more

RUNNNNN! DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT HIRING HIM! This guy is a complete scammer!! He's super unprofessional and does not reply to any messages or abide by the contract. This guy showed up to the black tie wedding with no shirt on, underwear showing and still had the nerve to ask for a ride to the wedding venue the morning of the event. It's been almost 3 months and have yet to receive any photos or videos. Do yourself a favor and don't book him! read more

Sadly, I was so excited to work with him, my sister referred him and I would see everyone being happy with him, but when it came to my wedding, I should have known he was A NIGHTMARE, 1. I told him my father had passed away and he kept asking for father daughter pictures (before the wedding) I had to keep reminding him he had passed away and it was still a touchy subject. DURING my wedding he not only showed up wearing WHITE, he also kept asking for my dad, my makeup artist even got annoyed after she heard me remind him 5x my dad passed away, all he would say was "oh yeah I forgot" She had to keep redoing my makeup as he kept reminding me. During the ceremony he took our pictures but like I was annoyed I just wanted to eat and meet with my guest / family and he kept pulling me away for more pictures after we took almost 2 hours taking them after my ceremony. I was told only him and his wife would be there , which I was totally fine with! I only allowed a limited amount on the kids allowed at my wedding and he brought his daughter which his wife was supposed to be there to help with the pictures but was too busy babysitting. Whatever I'm a mom I understand. Once my wedding was over he asked for the remaining balance. Which I had asked him to send me a fake invoice saying I was only paying 900 not 1500 because my father in law was offering to pay , I knew his limit was 900 so I was going to pay the rest, so I told him to send me a real invoice with the real balance (the 900 was so my father in law wouldn't try to pay more, I felt bad and this "photographer" claimed I was trying to scam him UHM SURE.) anyway he tells me my pictures will be done in a week and my video in 3 weeks. 4-5 weeks pass and still no pictures , so I asked for my pictures after a week of asking he sends them. He kept telling me how he wasn't at a real home and his wife and daughter and him were staying at his brothers because right now they didn't have a home and that's why he brought my 3700$ package down to $1500 cause he had no bookings and really wanted to book with me. I felt bad and I hired him, I mean who wouldn't take a 3700$ package for 1500$???? RIGHT? Great deal!! WRONG you get what you pay for, my wedding was Oct 16 I didn't get my video until January 6th (around there) and that's only because I told him I was OVER IT I wanted my stuff! He told me I was unprofessional and rude because I didn't want to wait 2 more weeks ?????? He said I was impatient ? I was waiting over 3 months. I'm ok if you're constantly txtn me and telling me "hey I know I said 3 weeks it's now been 1 month I need more time" cool that's fine but when IM THE ONE calling and txtn and sending messages on instagram DM asking for them ?????? That's different! He starts telling me how he finally got a home and is trying to move - like that's not my problem I'm very sorry but I want my stuff , then he sends me my stuff saying "you get what you get and I should be billing you for the complementary USB I sent you" WHAT????? No one asked you for that cheap box with your logo on it!!! Keep it !! I finally got my video, GUESS WHAT??? NO DAMN AUDIO!!!!!!! My ceremony has no audio and I have no video of my music of everyone walking out to, we picked the music for my dad, and his excuse was "it's in slow motion there's no audio" like I WAS VERY SPECIFIC ON THIS MUSIC!!!!!! I'm so disappointed !!! I'm not even mad, it's just a thing I won't get back to relive ! He asked me to post my pictures which I gave him permission To post me and my husband then he posted my step kids when I had told him that their mom was not ok for them to be posted and he posted them, after she told me to please have them removed I asked him and he told me no! I told him she would have her attorney send him a cease and desist letter he started going off on me "is this a threat?????" Like sir please remove the children off your page. Oh did I mention he also didn't get my sisters toast (maid of honor) on video ! He also cut the best man's speech in half. He's great for pictures but communication and video he feels entitled. We all start somewhere but he doesn't like to think he's a beginner. He just started doing weddings and it shows. My sister has known him for over 3 years I think so I know his work. I added pictures to the review to show read more

Where do I start? Due to COVID, my husband and I decided at the last minute to take holiday photos for our family Christmas and New Year cards. We reached out to Paint a Perfect Picture asking if it was possible to have the photos edited in time. Once they assured us it was possible, they quickly picked out a gorgeous and sentimental location for us. Lacey did a fantastic job providing props and music which made our shoot look and feel magical. Julian did a phenomenal job at making our family feel at ease (including our pup). Overall we had so much fun and the pictures were delivered even earlier than we expected! read more

I cannot rave enough about the Paint a Perfect Picture Team! I've done several photo shoots with Julian and it's always a great experience! Especially when it comes to my daughter taking photos, she acts shy at first but that never stops Julian from still getting amazing shots of her! He is super patient, manages to make us laugh and we just honestly always feel so comfortable! read more
