Why haven't I written this review yet? We met for an engagement/family session in November and we…read moreabsolutely love Amanda. The vibe was chill, we had gotten lost and were late and instead of being pissy she used the time to scout the perfect location for our pictures as her original stop had been damaged by the fires. She made us laugh, we got great pictures, we had a good time. I actually came on here to get her number again to arrange our next family session and our wedding session (life happened, we had to postpone ‍) Pictures were returned quickly too, and in an easy online gallery that I was able to share and print from. Awesome, 100% recommend.

We have had the pleasure of working with her several times before so hiring her to do our wedding this June was a "no brainer". She was very attentive and worked efficiently before and during the entire event. Her kind nature and sense of humor helped our entire wedding party loosen up for after ceremony/pre-cocktail pictures. We gave her a list of "must have" shots which she made her priority and offered great additional ideas for other posses and candid shots. She provided a wonderful photo booth with props for our wedding reception that everyone enjoyed. The pictures were great quality and printed immediately for our photo album guest book. It was a great way to provide fun favors for our guests. Carrie's energy was so upbeat. Even our vendors got involved, it was great!

When I saw Derek's work, I knew he was the one who thought outside the box, and he had a vision beyond what I could even imagine. Derek was always responsive and prompt in our interactions, and on the day of the shoot, Derek was so much more than I expected. He was friendly, professional, and kind, which made me feel comfortable as I was very nervous. The final results were breathtaking, and I couldn't believe it was me in the pictures. Derek was timely in delivering my gallery and was fair in his pricing. I would highly recommend Derek for any of your photography needs. I am looking forward to working with him again soon.

My wife and I discovered Patrick back in 2023 when we were searching for a photographer to shoot…read moreour engagement in Yosemite Valley (a place that holds a lot of special memories for us). Patrick's work immediately stood out to us because it was clear that he was able to capture not just his subjects but the landscape in a way that suggested intimate knowledge and even love for the nature of Yosemite. So, we had high expectations for his ability as an artist going in, but we were pleasantly surprised at how well we vibed with him as a person, too. Patrick made our day-long photoshoot easy and fun, and really brought out the joy of our engagement. And of course, the pictures were stunning. When we decided to get married in Big Sur two years later, our first decision (after the location, anyway) was asking Patrick to shoot our wedding. Patrick wasn't just our photographer but also our partner in planning to make sure we captured not only our special memories, but also the rugged beauty of Big Sur. The final photographs are beyond anything we could have imagined. Patrick's pictures were not just visually impressive - they were emotionally resonant. We will treasure our pictures and the memories we created with him for a lifetime. If you are looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also a wonderful person to work with, I cannot recommend Patrick Pike Studios highly enough. He is, simply put, the best. If you want photographs in Yosemite, you should work with him, and if you can convince him to work somewhere else, you should do that too. I guess we have to start thinking about where we should drag Patrick for a five-year anniversary photoshoot...

Toni has done many shoots at Yosemite NP, so she knows the best places for photos.. she even knew of some out of the way spots where we could get away from the crowds, which was great. We are so happy with the beautiful photos she gave us! What a great way to remember this sweet time before baby #2 arrives. I highly recommend her to anyone traveling out to the Fresno/Yosemite area in need of a photographer!

They captured so many incredible moments and surprised us with some priceless ones of our families that we cannot even thank them enough for the brilliant photography!!
