I was a little nervous going in, but they made me feel completely comfortable and confident the entire time.

I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, but she guided me through every pose with patience and expertise.

Lesson Learned: Nothing in life is free…read more I recently won a giveaway through Sylk Marti Studios, which advertised a free photoshoot valued at $1,500 on Instagram ad. I thought it was an amazing deal and a unique experience, so I signed up and "won" their Luxury Boudoir Giveaway. The prize included professional hair and makeup, a 2-hour creative portrait session, expert posing direction, a prep guide, magazine-quality retouching, and $750 worth of artwork or credit toward additional artwork. Before booking, they called to get to know me and asked me to create a Pinterest mood board. At the end of the call, they required a $250 "fully refundable" booking deposit. I asked how many pictures the $750 credit would cover--only two, at $375 each. That was shocking. My photoshoot was on April 20th. I brought my outfits to the studio and was shown an album of their high-quality photos. Individual portraits were $375 each, including a digital copy and printout. When I asked if the $750 credit included printouts, I was taken aback to learn it only covered 2 DIGITAL copies. Allie did my hair and makeup, and while I enjoyed her company, I usually do my own makeup and wouldn't have minded doing it myself. The photographer, Mercedes, reviewed my outfits but seemed unimpressed since they didn't include much lingerie, despite the prep guide saying lingerie wasn't required. The session took place in a room with a few sets and backgrounds, but the energy was lacking, and the experience felt awkward. Mercedes was sweet, but I didn't vibe with her, making the session less enjoyable. The viewing appointment on Zoom on April 26th was also awkward. They showed a slideshow of favorite shots with dramatic music, then asked me to rate each photo as "Love it, like it, or leave it." Knowing the $750 credit only covered two pictures, I liked a few and left the rest. After another round of choosing, I selected my top two pictures. When it came time to refund the $250 deposit, they deducted $76.88 for tax, which was not what I had in mind. So, I essentially paid $38.44 for each DIGITAL picture, making them the most expensive pictures I own. The claim that the deposit was fully refundable felt like a blatant lie. After the viewing appointment, I waited for an email from the production manager, April, with the link to my photos and my refund. Communication was poor, and I had to follow up multiple times. It took almost two weeks to get any response. When April finally sent the link on May 13th, it didn't work. She promised to fix it and text me when it was ready, but, of course, she never did. The next day, I had to email again for a working link and reset password. Regarding the refund, it was initially sent to the wrong account due to a mix-up with another person's profile. They had no idea until I pointed it out. After correcting this, April finally refunded the correct amount of $173.12 the next day. I knew it shouldn't have taken 5-7 business days because Chase Bank processes these things quickly. Overall, this experience was long, frustrating, and not worth the advertised value of $1,500. I'm still upset that they taxed the 2 digital photos supposedly valued at $750 (which they aren't because I'm only getting the digital copies, not printouts). If I had known I wouldn't get my full $250 refund, I never would have bothered with this so-called "experience."

We had the honor of having Andrew photograph our wedding weekend in May. He started off with the Chinese rehearsal dinner at Yank Sing and also photographed our Wedding day which comprised of a morning "reveal" shoot, Chinese wedding tea ceremony, Persian Aghd and reception at the Golden Gate Club. Does that sound like a lot of work....YES! Andrew, did it all with a nice demeanor and a smile on his face, we really could not have asked for more. While I was interviewing many photographers, my in-laws and parents were a little concerned that certain moments and shots would not be captured by someone who may not be as familiar with both cultures, but after I met Andrew I didn't think anymore of it. I looked at his portfolio and knew that I could trust his style and eye for capturing the important moments. In fact I was reminded by my family to send him a sheet of must not miss moments, but of course with everything going on I had forgotten, no worries, Andrew got them all and even MORE than we could of thought. He truly captured the essence of our wedding and told a beautiful story of love, joy, laughter, celebration, family and culture all preserved within these photos. I will forever cherish them and am grateful that Andrew was there to capture them. Thank you Andrew! You must must must Hire Andrew! He's a PRO and a blast to work with.
