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.

It was stress-free working with them -- they asked me to fill out a page or two about my preferences, we had a phone call a few months before our wedding to meet each other, and then got back in touch about a month before my wedding date about scheduling and logistics. The day of, Danielle and Jared reflected that same easy-going attitude. They worked with my photographer to partner up when it made sense to. They worked really well as a team (they are husband and wife, after all :) ). As a bride, my definition of an amazing vendor is when they're quiet. This might be a weird thing to say, but that's when I know that they're professional and confident, and for a videographer, able to focus on capturing as much footage as possible without getting in the way of any other vendors. We got our videos a few weeks after our wedding and they're SPECTACULAR. They gave us a couple of videos to help capture different elements of the day (highlight, ceremony, reception, and bonus footage). Nothing felt overproduced or undervalued -- they truly hit the mark on showing how our wedding was, representing every element really well. The end result looked natural and reflective of our day. We showed the videos to some family members who fell ill and couldn't attend last minute, and they thoroughly enjoyed all of the footage.

The second photographer, Jenn, she killlled it with all the groom's photos. So many awesome snaps were taken for me to look back on moments I missed throughout the day. Some amazing shots of my guests just enjoying themselves have been my favorite to look back at. Thank you so so much to Pauleen , Dustin, and Jenn!! Also, before Dustin entered my bridal suite, Pauleen asked if it was okay for him to enter, and I think even her going that extra step to ask if he could enter really was so sweet and I am so touched she was so thoughtful. During my big day when I just felt like Mickey Mouse smiling for the crowd, Pauleen and Dustin kept the energy upbeat and kept reminding me to breathe. Loved them so much!! Can't imagine my day without them. We also snuck into the Windmill Food Hall arcade to sneak some photos since we were so good on our timeline and they turned out to be some of my favorite photos!

Chris is extremely professional, very insightful and simply the best at what he does. I appreciated that Chris brought out the best in all of the team members who we chose to put in front of the camera... great coaching for anyone who is nervous in front of the camera!!! The people who appeared to be the most nervous about being in front of a camera ended up having the best on screen presence!!! Chris' editing process was very quick and simple - I was impressed with how little I needed to do in order for Chris to capture the exact message we were aiming for... It's been a long time since I've worked with someone who is so good at what they do... it was a down right pleasure in every regard.

The photos came in the exact time she quoted us but the edits look like pictures taken and edited off an iPhone. Not happy with them. I had to re-crop and edit majority of all photos as best I could as all the edits completely washed out our skin tone, the colors of the sky etc. I asked for the raws so I could just edit them myself from scratch and it's been 2 weeks and still haven't received them. Didn't remind us or inform to take phones/wallets out of pockets so those just look lovely in all our photos **sarcasm**. Book with someone else who knows what they're doing and takes their time on special memories like this. Updating my review! Got some of the raws back a day after making my review, which was nice of her to send as she said she didn't usually do so, but the quality of the photos look like they were taken on an iPhone..it was nice to see some of the photos that didn't come through as finals. Aside from how the photos came out, the one positive was that Anel was easy to communicate with and nice overall!!
