Whether it was Mal helping my wife while she was getting ready, or Alex helping close the tent walls during the reception and so much more. And none of that was their responsibility, but it certainly made a huge difference! We had so many people tell us just how awesome they were! When it comes to photography, Alex and Mal are hands down the best of the best. During engagement photos, they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and had the most creative ideas for what would make the best photos. The same goes for our wedding photos and video. All three of them were very punctual and organized on our wedding day. At times, I felt they were doing more to keep everything on schedule than our wedding planner. Just like the engagement photos, the wedding photos blew us away with how amazing they turned out. Alex and Mal will always be our go to photographers for any future family events or needs! If you are able to splurge a little, definitely have Alex partner with Jorge for the videography. You will not be disappointed, and every dollar will be worth it! The video was amazing and we watched it over and over again the first week of getting it. Thank you all so much for an amazing experience.

Vanessa was patient with our young girls, enthusiastic and helped make sure they were comfortable while she was taking their pictures.

I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

The photos are beautiful. Maybe a little over edited but beautiful nonetheless. The issue is cost…read more Get pricing for absolutely everything and ask questions before you book. Of all the professional photos that I have had taken in the past 10 years, never have I not been given the digitals (not expecting them to be free). None of my friends or family have ever not been given digitals either. Trust me, I asked all of them because I felt like I had been taken advantage of. It's 2022 people. Everyone likes to post high res photos to social media and make their own albums. No one wants to post a pixelated image with a giant logo on it. Posting high quality photos or making your own album will not be an option for you if have photos taken here... unless you pay thousands of dollars (not joking) and maybe they will throw in the digitals (what I was told). If you are looking to pay an arm and a leg for paper copies only, this is the place. Also you will have to go back to the studio twice (once to review and another to pick up the photos). The photos are beautiful, and clearly the photographer is talented. IMO a review of their business model and cost of doing business should be a priority for them if they are looking to retain customers.

IP goes above and beyond to satisfy each client! I have called or emailed Karen ideas I have had for my daughters birthday shoot and she exceeded all my wildest dreams! Buddy recently framed a series for us that impressed my husband so much he changed where we were going to put it because he wanted it to be a focal point in our home! I'm blessed beyond measure to have such a wonderful group of people capturing memories for a lifetime!

3 reviews 2 minutes…read moreago I "won" a boudiar package at a bridal show and decided to do the shoot. I had the option to upgrade, but told the employee I scheduled with, a few months before the shoot, that I wouldn't upgrade. I was straight forward with the employee. I was told no worries to come do the shoot. So I scheduled and was excited. Upon arrival, I was hounded to upgrade and mocked for not upgrading. I was told I "would regret" not upgrading to another package and that they had never had anyone not buy a package. Chris, the photgrapher, went from being polite when I was a paying/upgrading customer, to rude and pushy when I adimitly stated that I would not be upgrading my package. I decided to continue becuase I had a $75 deposit that was riding on me staying. So I stayed. The pictures took 15 mins instead of the hour that I was told I won. I was told in email that I would get my money back, abiding by I showed up and did the shoot. At the end, I was informed that I wasn't getting my money back becuase they would never do my shoot on a Saturday. Again being told how out of the norm everything was and that they were going out of their way to accomindate someone who wasn't buying a package. I demanded the return of my money and was told becuase of the email that I had, that stated I would be getting my money back, I would get my money back. The whole experince was awful and I will never come back here again. Brides if you "win a package" don't do it. It's bad sales gimic as prices aren't explained until you arrive and it's a sticker shock. I am not in anyway shape or form saying that their prices are too high. I'm saying that if you don't research costs associated with boudiar sessions or have never considered or thought about doing this, it'll make the experience that much more uncomfortable. I thought this would be something fun and free, considering I'm spending so much on our wedding and was told I won a free session, for my fiancé and instead turned into a shaming fest and battle. Don't come here thinking you won a "free package". The only thing that is free is the shame you feel leaving because you didn't upgrade your package.

Not up to expectations. I went in for a business head shot and specifically stated I did not want…read moreto be overly photoshopped. He said I will simply look like I do on my best day. I got the pictures back and went from my 50s to my 20s - NOT what I wanted. He even removed my mole which is part of me. I don't want to be unrecognizable from my picture when I walk in the room for an interview or speaking engagement. To top it off, I still had time left on my photoshoot when the next customer walked in. She was invited into the same room as I was while posing for my shots, and it made me uncomfortable to have an audience. I will not go to this photographer again. BTW the review incorrectly shows me as San Francisco, CA. I am in Concord, NC. I cannot correct this so I am not sure why it is doing that.

She did our engagement photos in the Outer Banks and we were thankful she was eager and excited to travel for us--we had so much fun. She did such a great job of balancing between letting us have candid moments and helping direct us with our poses. She made us feel so comfortable to be ourselves. The results were stunning. I had my bridal portraits at her natural light studio in an old, historic building with exposed brick and it was the perfect vibe. She did so well with capturing the mood I wanted. For our wedding day, she handled our big rowdy bunch with so much grace and patience, bless her! Everyone loved working with her and we can not wait for our final gallery. Her work ethic, passion for photography, and her love of love/families is so apparent in her work. If I could give 10 stars I would. We have found such a gem in Jessica and can't wait to book her again!!
