So, apparently, Paul Bartels did not like my review. I sent him an email prior to my passing my review and received no response. I believe he is trying to reinvent himself by changing his online name. He now is on FB as Paul Bar! I would definitely NOT recommend him for wedding photography! First, he did not control the depth of field to get rid of items in the background that weren't necessary so that the focus is on the people in the pictures. Also, there are sunspots in the pictures, which were due to his not using a lens hood. He also didn't use a proper filter since there were blue skies that day but the sky looked gray. He took 13 photographs of the hummingbirds around our feeders and took NO photos of the swimming pool, which had colored underwater lights in place for this very special occasion; and the pool looked ethereal. His attention to detail is not what I would have expected from a professional photographer. For example, in the picture of the bride's wedding address laid out on our bed in the master bedroom, there was a pair of flip flops at the footboard of the bed. I don't know if that would have been something he would have edited out or not, since he performed minimal editing. At NO time did I ever convey that minimal editing should be done. I simply requested that we be provided the raw versions (far higher pixels) so that if I chose to do any editing myself, the quality would remain. The only thing I requested of him was to NOT include fake clouds. He assumed I didn't want editing and that certainly wasn't the case. So he was paid to do normal editing, which he didn't do. I also understand that with the wedding taking place at our house, he may have had more difficulty in positioning himself to take the best pictures. Rather than shoot the pictures of the procession from the house looking out over the hillside, he shot from the hillside looking into the house, which made for very uninspired photographs. While I realize that pictures are more difficult to take when it is dark, I believe there should have been accommodation for that with the lighting which he brought and set up. The lighting was not adequate to get the best pictures. read more

Paul really saved us. He came to our rescue when another photographer left us high and dry. He was very professional, on time, honest (no hidden costs), and pictures were just beautiful. He edited them and used some special effects on some of the photos. We will treasure them forever. We definitely will call Paul again for our family photos and recommend him to friends. read more

We just had our wedding a couple of weeks ago and we already have all our photos! Paul had informed us that he had just closed escrow and to be patient with him. We know how it is so we told him not to rush because we wanted him to take his time with our pictures. To our surprise he had delivered all our pictures two weeks later. He had even added color to our black and whites! He did such an amazing job, that I asked if he wouldn't mind editing some others for us. Without hesitation, he was on it!! I highly recommend Paul! He is affordable, professional, creative and quick! He even brought along some cool props! read more

Wow! Call him first and stop your endless searching for a professional. Pick up the phone. All I can say is top notch quality. Paul didn't cut corners anywhere and respected everyone's time that day. He was so natural and seasoned, that he directed the flow of events, suggested poses and had great ideas from start to finish. He made it happen that day and it was great. Would highly recommend him. I wanted to cherish my first-born with memories that would last forever. Needed a photographer real quick for the upcoming baptism and his photo gallery sold me. Check it out for yourself. Paul was super-amazing with my daughter's baptism photos. Crisp, in focus, had new digital equipment, high resolution, supreme editing and fast turnaround. He is very smart, polite, good looking, great manners ,professional and most of all just friendly. He wasn't just on time, he was early and excited to be there to share the moment. Pick up the phone. read more

I'm a DJ who has worked with Paul with two events. He is very easy to work with and brings a professional attitude. A family member of mine recently had their photographer cancel at the last minute. Paul came in and took some great photos and made sure to get all of the important shots needed. Definitely check his website to view his work. read more
