*** Review based on the Groupon deal only ***…read more Recently I need a photoshoot for social poses and discovered Jack Randall Photography via the Groupon deal. [Groupon package]: One hour family portrait session with one 8X10, two 4X6, and 5 low resolution digital images - original price = $430 but Groupon price = $49. Must return to the studio to view the photos or pay $399 to release all digital photos over the phone (no prior notice & only learned about the additional cost few days after the session). Appointment required and must call business number (no email option upon the first contact) to make an appointment (open from 9 AM - 3 PM for scheduling). Customers will need to leave name, email, phone number, and Groupon redemption code over the call. [Caveat #1 - location]: The Groupon deal stated "capture memories at 9 scenic Orange County spots", but in reality the studio only offers 5 locations (Caspers Wilderness Park. Los Rios Historic District, able Rock Beach, Serrano Creek Park, and Mission San Juan Capistrano). Mission San Juan Capistrano requires additional arrangement and an extra charge. Over the call, Studio Manager Kimberly offered beach or park locations as soon as next day or the upcoming weekend & I took the next day option. [Photoshoot session at 7 PM]: I met owner Jack at Table Rock Beach exactly at 7 PM and he was friendly & easy to work with. He instructed me with couple poses and was able to take approximately 100+ pictures in 30 minutes. The sun set at 7:30 PM and we couldn't take any more pictures after dark, so the session ended and Jack said to give him a call in two days to finalize the process. [Finalizing process - additional package & payment]: Unfortunately this is where the miscommunication & blindside on additional cost happened. I called Jack to finalize the process and he said few options are available including paying additional $39.99 to download all digital copies. All I heard is $39.99 and immediately gave my credit card info over the phone. Jack said I will receive a link to download in few hours later and I went out to watch movies. After I came back home, I decided to check my credit card account and to my surprise I saw $399.99 charged to my card instead. [Caveat #2 - pricing]: Jack did reach out the following day after I had left a voicemail and he emailed me the description of the Digital Package which is listed $399 (high resolution digital download + additional free session at a preferred location within 180 days & can be given as a gift + 20% off all custom prints ordered on day of digital package purchase.) Essentially I was paying $49 Groupon deal + $399 for all digital copies for a 30-minute session. [Communication]: Honestly I didn't mind spending a little extra on top of the Groupon deal, but $399 completely exceeded the amount I was willing to spend or else I wouldn't accept the digital package. I was able to clarify the misunderstanding with Jack over the call and found a middle ground solution at the end. [Conclusion]: I reviewed my digital high resolution pictures and they definitely looked very professional, but I really wish the studio can just send out a list of additional pricing options over an email instead of discussing it over a call to avoid misunderstanding. 5-star on quality of photos, 4-star on communication & resolution, and 1-star on Groupon deal with a lack of transparency on additional costs.

The videos look amazing, and my wife and I have been watching them nonstop for the past few days. You can provide your own HDD or SSD for the file transfers, or he can provide them for you. I tossed all the videos into a Plex server and stream them to my 75 inch 4K TV and they all look fantastic. Audio completely flawless and in sync too. Many of them were upscaled to 1080p and both picture and audio are great. If you're into audio/video stuff you'll have some great conversations with him. If not, don't sweat it and he'll take care of everything... you don't have to worry about a thing. Mike is super nice dude, does a great job, and his pricing is fair too. I will absolutely go back if I can dig up more old tapes that need digitizing. Some of these tapes have friends and family members who have passed away and these videos are quite literally priceless to us. You have no idea how happy my wife and I are. Mike if you're reading this, thank you again!!

Marc and company were very communicative and answered our many questions in the lead-up to the wedding. They have you fill out a questionnaire which gets you to think about which style of video you'd like, documentary or cinematic, and which songs you'd like included. We opted for cinematic. A few days prior to the wedding, we were notified that Jessica would be our videographer. She showed up right on time the day of the wedding after verifying which rooms we'd be getting ready in. Jessica was lovely to work with and it helped she also got along great with our photographers (I think she'd worked with some of them before). Right on schedule, about two months later, she reached out to us to let us know that both our trailer and our full wedding video were ready. The videos did not disappoint; they were equal parts beautiful and touching and included several of our favorite wedding songs including our first dance song. It was the right call for us to opt for cinematic; it was very moving to watch our wedding day unfold as if it was a shorter feature length film. We asked for our full video to include the entirety of both of our vows and it was wonderful to have those both captured. We're so happy to have the videos to help us remember the best parts of our wedding. Thank you for your wonderful work!
