No doubtat all...5 stars without hesitation! I couldn't have asked for anything more!…read more Popping the question is a pretty nerve racking event. I could have gone with 2 or 4 other photographers, but trust me....you won't be disappointed if you go with David. His professionalism was second to none. He was very detail orienteted with time, place, angles to propose to capture the best lighting. He even drew me a map as I was unfamiliar with the beach where I wanted to go. He replied quickly if I had questions and his attention to detail was fantastic. David was great from start to finish! Don't waste your time seeking out other photographers....thank you David!

David Royal arrived early and was our shadow, documenting our nuptials and reception. He made sure to pull us aside to take advantage of beautiful sunset lighting, got all the requested shots on our photo wishlist (our families were difficult to coordinate, and he remained calm, cool, and collected), and he was even kind enough to give lighting tips to the girl I had running our DIY photobooth. Great guy to work with, and an SJSU alum!

Nick Lovejoy is amazing! He took my wedding photos…read more01.15.16. He posted over 20 edited photos within the same week on Facebook to share with me and I love every single one of them. He was extremely patient with me and my bridal party when we had a couple hiccups during the day. I'm very excited to know I'm getting my photos in a timely matter, that can always be nerve racking for some people when it can take someone months. I highly recommend Nick Lovejoy for any photos, not just wedding. He does everything! Engagement, families..etc. He has also just opened up his new studio in San Juan Bautista!

She had postponed the actual large reception in Southern California but wanted to keep her original wedding date. I contacted Nick after seeing some of his photos on instagram and seeing his positive reviews on yelp. He was very easy to work with- I explained I just wanted to capture this special day and decided to hire him for 3 hours. On the day of the ceremony Nick was on time and totally adapted to a "wedding in a home." He was so easy going and such a pleasure to work with. He jumped right in showing my son in law how to attach his boutonnière. He knew exactly what photos he wanted but also asked us numerous times if there was anything special we wanted. We were hoping to capture a few photos of just the bride and groom at a local park and he was familiar with the park and took some amazing photos of new couple. The turn around time for the pictures was quicker than expected and we were beyond thrilled with his work. By far one of the best features for us was that both my daughter and my husband and I could download the photos separately. This worked perfect as we live far apart. We would use Nick again in a heartbeat!

My husband and I had a small non traditional wedding, and wanted to keep everything light and fun! We didn't want super posed pictures other than with family and David did a wonderful job of capturing how we really are!! He even took us to the beach not far from the venue and took some wonderful photos there! My husband even got to take a photo with his two ladies, his Mustang and me he was very happy about this! David is really nice and my husband and I felt totally comfortable with him! Our pictures turned out amazing and we couldn't be happier! We recommend David to our family and friends and can't wait to have him capture the next special chapter in our lives, when baby comes in the Fall! Thank you David!!

I worked with Daniel to help plan my surprise engagement to my girlfriend (now fiancee) and let me…read moresay - his reviews were SPOT ON. He is absolutely wonderful to work with. He was able to intake my wants for a more private location for my engagement and on near Carmel-by-the-Sea on the beach and he absolutely nailed it. I had a surprise engagement planned where I had a picnic set up (via the service Pillows and Picnics) - Daniel was able to coordinate well with this service to help pick a spot that felt private yet was easily accessible. Daniel was there every step of the way from the planning phase through execution. Daniel then was secretly there to capture the moment and produce absolutely wonderful photos. We then went on a small tour with him to his "secret" areas of Big Sur where we took wonderful photos without the big crowds. Truly working with Daniel made an already very big moment in our live absolutely wonderful with photos and memories to carry with us for a lifetime. If you need a photographer that will pay attention to all the details, be there every step of the way, and produce absolutely top notch outcomes - Daniel is your guy! Thanks Daniel for being part of our wonderful life event With much gratitude - Greg and Mai

My SO had asked for a more intimate, outdoor area to propose at, and Daniel recommended an amazing hidden spot by the cliffsides of Big Sur. Kudos to the amount of coordination, especially when there is no WiFi / cell service in Big Sur, necessitating a lot of planning beforehand on timing, location, backup location, etc. What we most enjoyed about working with Daniel is how natural and fun he makes it - I often feel awkward taking portraits / photos, but I didn't feel uncomfortable at all during the session! He gave some guidance on some poses / things to do, but otherwise we loved how he could just capture intimate moments! Moving to Garrapata Beach, we managed to catch an amazing Golden Hour that translated to some epic photos! Turnaround on the photos was surprisingly quick - we got engaged on a Saturday and the photos were ready by Monday! The photos turned out so fantastically that we decided to not do another engagement photoshoot. Part of the package my fiancée got included a champagne bottle for us to enjoy! Would recommend working with Daniel for pictures in the Big Sur / Monterey area - we hope to work with him in the future for family portraits with our dog!

I met with him in Monterey, California were his home office is. I have to say I did enjoy the champagne service. He has such a sweet office. After looking at few others he is a true artist.

I wanted to have some shots of Master Z and I on the beach. The sunsets are really spectacular this time of year. He does weddings too. I saw all that he has done. I am very lucky to be able to book him for a few hours. I do know that you get what you pay for. He is well worth the fee that he charges. The images are out of this world. If you want to have a great experience with a true professional he is you guy. Very open and honest with what he offers. Very devoted to creating the best shot possible for you.
