After a local "We do passport photos" shop gave me immediate rejection and my own efforts failed completely, I had Sonia do both my and my wife's passport pictures.

There are absolutely not enough words in the world for how incredible Michele is! I hired her as…read moreour wedding photographer through a recommendation of our vendor, and I couldn't be more thrilled that I did. She is so down to earth, professional, and easy to work with. After I introduced her to my bridesmaids for the getting ready photos, it wasn't until about half an hour later that I learned they all thought she was a personal friend of mine and not a photographer I hired! That just goes to show how warm and friendly she is and how she makes you feel so comfortable and at ease taking photos right off the bat. I also have a knack for taking terrible photos, and told Michele this during our phone call prior to the wedding, and she helped give me tips for posing, etc. throughout the entire day to make sure I was looking my best which I so so appreciated! She really went above and beyond to capture every aspect of the night as well as assisting with congruity throughout the event due to her extensive knowledge and experience with weddings. I truly felt like I won the jackpot deciding to go with Michele as our wedding photographer and can't recommend her enough for anyone else in the area. Thank you again, Michele! You rock!

Kyle was truly great to work with on my proposal photoshoot. He was already experienced with the…read morelocation I wanted to do the proposal and was able to offer helpful advice on how to make things go smoothly. He listened attentively to my vision for the proposal, which was to have the moment feel as private and candid as possible. He was able to deliver on that perfectly by staying hidden and shooting on a zoom lens from far enough away that my girlfriend (now fiancée!) didn't even notice he was there until well after the ring was on. In the remainder of the time we had booked him for, he guided us through a session with various different poses and lighting, and we got some really dramatic and memorable shots! Finally, Kyle worked really quickly to get us our edited photos, and we were even able to opt for a selection of the photos to be delivered the same day so we could use them to announce the good news to our family and closest friends. Thanks so much for everything Kyle!

It was easy and from what I saw on the camera screen the pics are perfect. In the run up to the shoot Kyle was easy to speak to, made suggestions and was generally really communicative. He's a lovely person and a 10/10 photographer. Highly recommend

She is about as good as it gets. Anyone can take a photo, but it takes a lot to be a photographer…read more On top of that, it's hard to find a good photographer. I'll have to make the case that Tawni is one of the best up and coming photographer in Coachella Valley. She is just so easy to be around and makes sure that you feel comfortable as the session is going on. I've hired photographers in the past and the ones that I've worked with are usually "one and done." One of my favorite traits about her is the fact that she's all about capturing the moment as it is. Most photographers will tell you to pose like this and pose like that, but Tawni wants her photos to be as authentic as could be. Go check out her portfolio on her website (www.tawnifiamengo.com) and you'll see what I mean! There's a certain beauty that captures me when seeing a photo that captures a "real" moment instead of a "posed" one. She does everything from weddings to parties to all your other professional photo needs. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend hiring Tawni if you need professional photos done. She'll accommodate to all your needs and will make sure that the photos you receive will be one you'll never forget!

Tawni is by far the best photographer out there! She just…read moreshot my wedding last weekend and she is simply the best! She is patient and kind and has such a good eye!

Gregg is a very talented, creative, inspired and supportive photographer. My son needed to do a…read morephoto shoot for potential modeling opportunities, and Gregg was amazing with him! They pulled together a portfolio that my son can use for a variety of different opportunities: head shots and other pics with plain background, indoor and outdoor pictures, photos with just the right background to highlight the person while providing interesting color, creative reflections, and/or scenery that was interesting enough... yet always brought the focus to the subject. As he worked with my son - who had never been in front of a camera as a model - Gregg provided creative suggestions and supportive feedback that put him at ease. The results were terrific. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the whole process unfold and am very, very grateful to Gregg for his professional yet relaxed approach, generous and timely delivery of the digital photos in various formats and sizes (for emailing or for printing), his work ethic, and just his all-around approachability and genuine interest in my son and our family. Thank you ever so much, Gregg! :)

Sydney is top notch…read more She works with her clients to ensure they get what they want within budget. While she offers many packages she is able to create custom packages as well to fit your needs. I was was worried that we werent able to get a good photographer based on our budget, and I know that photographers are part of the most expensive aspect of a wedding because of quality. But everyone I had looked at prior, would have charged me DOUBLE for HALF the time if not more. Sydney understands and works hard to give you what you want. She is professional, but also fun. She obsesses over detail, and loves to be creative. She is prompt with communication and answering any questions you have. I opted for a boudior photoshoot to gift my husband with on the day of the wedding, Sydney Drove all the way to Los Angeles and shot a very classy and tasteful spread at a very cool studio. The whole ordeal took about 2 hours and the photos where flawless. When the wedding came around, Sydney drove all the way up to my wedding venue in Los Alamos, which is about 4 hours drive from her office location. And her travel fee was affordable too. I can't believe this girl. She brought her bff Natae to shoot videography of the event. Natae was a sweetheart and another badass whom I felt completely comfortable with. Time flew by during the wedding, and my husband and I were pulled in so many directions by the Coordinator and guests. Sydney would not leave until she felt she captured as many photos of us as possible. She refused to allow us to not have more choices. So she waited until we had a chance to get some more photos! I have never heard of any photographer who would stay behind to make sure everything possible could be captured. She wanted to be sure we were happy, and is so detail oriented, she wouldnt leave until she was satisfied with the photos taken. Its only been about 2 weeks and I am already getting sneek peeks of the photos. I am obsessed and cannot wait to see the rest! I 100 million percent reccomend Sydney Contois Photography and Videography to capture your special day.

BRIDES BEWARE!!! The precious memories of our family members' wedding have been robbed. Literally,…read moreafter thousands spent to capture their nuptials and more than a seven-month wait period, they have no photos of their special day. Not only are calls and messages ignored, but other reviews suggest this photographer is putting other couples through a similar hell. The next option is a legal action, which could be easily avoided and resolved by sending the pair a flash drive. At the end of the day, the newlyweds just simply want to have what they paid for, memories that cannot be recreated of their wedding day. Please take this into serious consideration before hiring this photographer.
