I got married on July 21, 2018 at Pageo Lavender Farm in Turlock. After booking our venue in April…read more2017, my next priority was to find an amazing photographer who could perfectly capture the emotions throughout our wedding day for my husband and I to remember forever. I researched for hours and started emailing the list of potential photographers I had gathered for quotes and more information. Cori responded quickly, was super friendly and reasonably priced. She offered to meet us in person for a free consultation so we could get to know each other more and show us samples of her work. I'm very much an organizer and planner, so when we met Cori and she pulled out some checklists and worksheets to help her keep track of our wishes and also educate us on how she works, I was smitten! A couple months later, we had our engagement photo session with Cori at Sutro Baths in San Francisco. Cori is so nice and personable - my husband and I are shy in front of the camera and she made us feel comfortable right away. A couple weeks later we received an online gallery of our pictures and were in love! Cori was able to capture our happiness and silliness towards each other perfectly in each picture. Leading up to the wedding day, Cori helped me put together a day-of timeline that incorporated a few elements we had to have - a first look, sunset photos, and a first dance with guests holding sparklers. On the wedding day, Cori arrived at the agreed upon time. Everyone liked her right away and she worked very well with our videographer. About 4 weeks later, we received an online gallery with our pictures. I am thrilled with how each one looks and love Cori's style that fit so well with our venue. I will definitely reach out to Cori again for anniversary, family and maternity pictures when those times come in the future!

Before I even knew Cori was a preferred vendor for our wedding venue, we found her website. Both my…read morehusband and I were very picky about a photographer. We loved her photos and the coloring. Somehow, all of her photos sort of look like they're captured on an overcast day, which I love. We first took our engagement photos and we had both never taken photos like that before so I was pretty nervous and shy at first. She helped loosen us up and we loved a lot of the images from that day! We then really looked forward to our wedding day photos. We not only enjoy our photos of ourselves and our guests, we love the detail shots as well. We'd definitely recommend Cori for any occasion. We hope to have her capture our family photos down the line!

I wish I could understand what's going on with Scott but since he won't respond to my messages,…read moreI'll have to share my most recent experience with him. I found him late in 2024. You can read my review on that encounter in my last review for him. I closed out that review by stating that I was so impressed, that I left a 24-105mm f/4.0L for him to look at. At this point, I don't even remember what was wrong with it. He worked on the lens and got it back into working condition and called me. It's 71 miles from my house to his shop. I made the drive down and in the course of conversation, Scott said that he would be more than happy to sell it for me and could get up to $400 for the lens. That particular lens was the first lens that I bought for my Canon 5D. It was my only lens for at least five years. Needless to say, I did everything with it. When I returned to my local fire department as a volunteer photographer, I added a few more lenses to my arsenal included the Mark II version of the same lens. Since I didn't need the one Scott had just repaired, I asked him to sell it for me. I didn't hear from Scott for quite a while, but the lens wasn't my priority. I do a lot of volunteer work, and I had enough equipment to keep working. I called him in April of 2025 to check status, and it hadn't sold yet. We spoke briefly about lowering the price. I told him I would take $300. I didn't hear from Scott again until August when he said he had a buyer for $275. I told him that $300 was the price that we had agreed on and he said that he would "make up the difference". I didn't fall off from the turnip truck just yesterday. I know that the difference of whatever he sold it for and what I got would be his profit. But I also know that when you are selling something on consignment, you have no right to arbitrarily lower the price without the owner's permission. His "making up the difference" meant that he made less profit. He asked when I would be driving down to pick up the check. I asked Scott to simply mail it to me. Every time, I've visited him at his place of business, I've had to call to let him know when I was close and sometimes, he wouldn't be there. I know as a single person business operation, clients need your time, meetings run long, photoshoots take longer than expected. I figured getting a check by mail would be easier for both of us. In October of 2025, I called for and left a message for an update. January 30th of this year, I called and Scott told me that I should have received the check by now and that he would have to check with his bookkeeper to find out what happened to the check. Yesterday, 3/23, left a message letting him know how disappointed I was with his lack of communication. And so here I am, dropping my five-star rating for him to one-star. Next will be the Better Business Bureau. I may never see my $300 again but I don't want to see other hard-working photographers get taken for a ride.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with Nielsen Photographic was extremely…read moredisappointing. On November 15th, 2024, I brought in a Leica CL film camera that I purchased from eBay that had a broken light meter, but wanted to check if that was all it had. Scott initially seemed helpful, claiming he was certified in Leica/Minolta repairs and found that the speeds were off. He estimated a 3-5 week turnaround for the fix. That timeline quickly fell apart. By late December, I still hadn't heard anything and had to follow up multiple times--calls and texts were ignored. I only got a response after calling from an unknown number. Scott cited a family emergency and poor communication habits, then accused me of being "impatient," even though I was just asking for updates well past the promised timeline. Told me I could pick it up. I asked him to keep it as I was not impatient and just wanted the camera to be repaired. I gave him another month as he requested, but by May and June, I still had no update. My partner finally got him on the phone, and Scott admitted he couldn't get the part or repair it because he didn't have the manual. This was frustrating since I had kept the purchased camera based on his assurance that he could fix it instead of returning it to the eBay seller. Which was no longer an option. He offered to find shops who could help, but never followed through. I picked up my camera on August 1--unrepaired--and he never once provided any leads or updates. When I mentioned writing a review about my experience and how I was appalled by his lack of empathy or accountability, he finally said "sorry," but only about the "situation." Unless you already have a relationship with Scott, I wouldn't recommend using his services. The lack of communication, accountability, and professionalism was unacceptable.

My husband and I enlisted Nicky's photography services to convert color photos to black and white…read morefor a gallery wall. BUT, it was more involved than that, and he delighted in the project to obtain the end result beyond our expectations. Nicky used his hocus-pocus on the originals submitted to him. Because the size of the photos were not all uniform to fit the frames, for several, Nicky had to add to the background. Moreover, after converting to black & white, because some photos did not translate well, to emphasize, for instance, the subject in a photo, he cropped it, with an eye of an expert. Furthermore, as needed, he touched some up by adding an element of interest like making a rainy sky more dramatic or changing a water bottle to a martini glass and other techniques to enhance the photos as necessary-where it made sense. Also, for the frames, he placed the photos in the center of the glass down to 1/16 of an inch-perfection! Nicky is easy to work with. His communication is excellent. His enthusiasm for the project showed up in his work, as the photos turned out outstanding and the wall looks spectacular. To keep this from getting too long, lastly, I'll add that his customer service is bar none superb. I recommend Nicky for your photo needs!
