We hired Will to photograph my son's low-key casual wedding. He was fantastic!…read more First, he was the most responsive of all the photographers we contacted. He discussed with the couple and was happy to work with their plans and what they did and didn't want, and very thoughtful about the photography options with great suggestions. He was a super nice guy as well. The day of the event he was professional, very flexible in the face of lots of cooks in the kitchen, clearly knew what he was doing, and really nice to work with. He knew how to compose shots and make them look great. But most important, the pictures came out wonderful! Finally, his fee was completely reasonable and appropriate to the occasion (unlike other photographers we contacted who said they had a minimum wedding fee whether or not it was a large, standard wedding event). I would say he exceeded expectations, and made it a super comfortable low-stress process. I would 100% hire him again!

When I needed to hire a photographer for my day job, I gave Wil a call. We needed a photographer to take stock photos for use on our website and had only a week to set up the shoot involving about 40 teenagers. He was quick to respond and was able to handle the demands of my colleagues and position the kids for some great photos. I recommend Wil for any kind of photography: weddings, special events, parties, and commercial photo shoots.

That same afternoon after the photoshoot, he sent us "raw" photos, which to me, looked edited- SO GOOD! I was not disappointed with any photo. He is worth flying out to any state to take photos- WORTH IT! I am so lucky we found Sam, and I am 100% confident in partnering with him for future photos. He has a confidence and humbleness to him, which made him a pleasure to work with. He has a wide range of photography skills, from headshots to operations, to B Roll. He has an artistic approach to capturing the true essence from our first creative meeting. Thank you Sam! You rock!!!!

Allure West Studios has a class on digital photography for beginners, which requires the student to…read morebring a DSLR, a pad and pen/pencil, and the manual for the camera (you don't use it--I don't know where mine is). My wife bought me the class as a gift. The gift was a nice surprise, since I had been talking about wanting to learn more and to stop using the "auto" mode on my camera. I was afraid of the manual mode. Prior to taking the class, I researched the studio a bit, and I have to say, I was a bit skeptical since most of the reviews were overwhelmingly positive. There's a reason for it: the class was excellent. The class is around 3 hours (ours went a bit longer than that) and is made up of only several people. Our class size was 5, which was nice. It allowed personal attention and removed any fear of asking questions. There is a short break in the middle, and that break essentially split the class into two 'parts': (1) a general overview of photography; and (2) how to use the manual mode. The first 'part' was a general overview of photography, equipment, and the reasons why having quality equipment results in quality pictures. Jung, our instructor, explains with great detail why the choice of equipment, namely the flash and lens, is so important. He also took several photographs in the class to show before and after results of using the flash incorrectly versus using the flash correctly. I have learned just how important lighting and a quality lens are to pictures. The second 'part' was an overview on how to take pictures and involved a light hands-on activity with the camera. Jung explained the four basic settings of manual mode. He explained: (1) what each setting does to the picture; (2) when to use each setting for the particular subject; (3) how to correctly adjust each setting; and (4) in what order to adjust each setting. He provides many small tips and tricks to avoid purchasing superfluous accessories. He also makes sure each student is using the correct settings, so no one is left behind. Jung offered several recommendations for entry/amateur-level lens and flashes. These recommendations were nice, because I know if I go to a big box store, or even many local stores, the salespeople only want to sell equipment. Jung had no ulterior motives. He was not selling anything; he just wanted his students to take better photographs. He lets you to contact him after the class to ask questions, especially regarding the purchasing of new equipment. He will provide advice not specific to one brand, which is helpful since the Internet is full of people with conflicting opinions (i.e., Canon is better.. no, wait, Nikon is better.. no, wait..). All in all, it was an excellent class, and I look forward to taking his Level 2 class sometime in the near future.

I was just at this studio to take an intro class on using my digital SLR. I paid for this class…read morethrough an Amazon Local Deal, so it was half off for me (knowing the value of the class, I think I would be okay paying full price for follow-up classes in the future). The camera I have has been both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because it has potential to help me take great photos, but it's a curse because I have no idea how to use it -- well, didn't have any idea of how to use it before this class. Now I'm well on my way! Jung taught the class and he was great. He keeps the class sizes small so that plenty of questions can be asked and he is great at explaining things. He's breaks down the process in a very logical way and you leave with a great set of foundation tools to start taking photos with your digital SLR. He is generally very knowledgeable about not only photography as it relates to taking photos, but also was in terms of being able to use and recommend equipment -- in both professional and amateur price ranges. He was able to show each student how to change the settings on their particular camera, so that was super helpful as well. I'm looking forward to practicing the techniques Jung taught by taking more photos on my own and hope to be back for the more advanced classes.

We initially selected Mike Allebach of Allebach Photography to take some photos of us for our 20th…read moreanniversary with the thought that we would have a beautiful framed photo as a result. What we envisioned and what we ended up with was literally a million-fold better - and that is not an exaggeration. Mike spoke with each of us separately prior to the shoot and then we set a time and date for the shoot. Mike suggested the Philadelphia Art Museum during the 'golden hour' at the end of the day. I cannot even begin to tell you what a fantastic time we had with Mike and the actual shoot was an amazing experience full of fun and laughter. The photos were taken all around the Art Museum and Schuylkill River area and while it was a busy crowded day; Mike managed to frame the shots so it looked as if we were the only one there. Many have asked if we cleared the area for our photoshoot because of Mike's skillful photography. The resulting images were also amazing and instead of one framed photo, we ended up with a beautiful 6 foot collage of photos printed on metal that is now a prominent art installation in our home. We also ended up choosing fifty (50) - yes, FIFTY - of the images Mike shot that day for our collection. Mike absolutely did a fantastic job and created amazing works of art out of two ordinary people who have been together for twenty years. Everyone who sees the photos and knows us always says that the photos are "absolutely you guys". I should mention that we are a gay male couple and Mike was very comfortable with us as we were with him; he is very easy to work with and truly one of the most laid back photographers I have known - and I have known many. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mike Allebach to any straight, gay, trans-gendered or any other flavor of person for any photos they may want from boudoir to personal to professional. He is truly an amazing and gifted artist/photographer.

I was definitely vibin' to my girl RiRi playing in the background while me and my man just kind of got into each other and Mike allowed (and helped guide) us to make some magic happen in front of the camera lens. If you're looking to do a boudoir shoot by yourself or with your guy, gal, or polynamorous mates... DO IT! I loved every second of the shoot and the final photo album. Def had me feelin' myself haha! Can't thank Mike enough for a great and unforgettable experience! His IG: @couplesboudoirguy

He gave me multiple options of several different scenarios and I was able to use the images that best fit my needs.

His work is commendable and he was very easy to work with on this campaign effort. I would highly recommend John and plan on hiring him again for future efforts.
