After mildly panicking, I found Valerie of Tilted Crown Photography. I looked through her portfolio and read about her philosophy as a photographer and decided to reach out. She was super easy to talk from the very beginning! We chatted about what I wanted to achieve from our session and how our collaboration would work for gorgeous photos. I was lucky that Valerie had availability and she accommodated my last minute request--seriously we took my photos the week before I gave birth! We met up, had fun getting to know eachother and enjoyed our time in Old Sac walking and taking photos. I received my final gallery this week and all of the photos are amazing! They captured my pregnancy and incorporated Sacramento flawlessly into this momentous life experience. I especially love the female empowerment that Valerie is able to bring forth in her photos. Even at my most sweaty and uncomfortable, she was able to make me feel sexy and strong as a new mom to be. If you want a friendly and passionate photographer I can't recommend Valerie and Tilted Crown enough!

We met with Luke in Sac the day of our wedding reception. Luke was easy going and great to work with overall. He's a fast worker. He showed us some of the pictures right after taking them. The photos were astounding. For having just taken them, I was already amazed. We shot at 3 locations. It was a pleasure to work with Luke. He really provided some great quality work. My wife and I loved the photos! If you're worried about choosing a photographer, I'd recommend Luke as the process was easy and smooth.

I was surprised that it was never mentioned, the color chooses and just got gray picked out.

From day one, the communication was always on point! They were so fast to respond to me- esp Raymond! I truly felt he was my bestie during the coordinating! From the moment the team arrived, they were on it. They didn't just show up to work; they showed up with this amazing energy that made me feel like they were just as invested in the day as we were. As a bride, there is so much going on, but they made me feel so comfortable and truly beautiful the entire time. They weren't just "vendors" they were like our own personal support system, making sure we were taken care of from start to finish. The video they put together is something else. It is so obvious that they didn't just throw clips together; they really took the time to listen and watch for the parts that actually mattered. Every important moment, every look, and every laugh was right there. If you want a media team that is professional, talented, and genuinely kind people who make you feel like a million bucks, hire them. Thank you, Passion Studios, for capturing our day so perfectly!

We booked him when our baby was just 3 weeks old, and due to my health condition, he generously offered to come to our home--which made a huge difference for us. From the moment he arrived (30 minutes early, by the way!), he was professional, prepared, and incredibly easy to work with. What really stood out was his patience and expertise with newborns. He gave us plenty of time to feed and change our baby without ever making us feel rushed, and he gently guided us through poses so everything felt natural and comfortable. He clearly knows how to work with families and newborns, which made the entire session smooth and stress-free. And the turnaround time--wow. He delivered beautifully edited photos in less than 12 hours, which is almost unheard of. The images turned out absolutely stunning: natural, soft, and truly captured this special moment in our lives. The online gallery was also very easy to access and download. If you're looking for a reliable, talented, and thoughtful photographer--especially for newborn sessions--Raymond is the one. We're so grateful he helped us capture these precious memories with our first baby. Highly, highly recommend!

We're so grateful for their talent and professionalism. These photos are something we'll treasure for the rest of our lives. Highly, highly recommend to any couple looking for someone who truly cares about their craft and their clients.

From the beginning, we were incredibly impressed by his professionalism, talent, and personal approach. Colby took the time to get to know us both as individuals and as a couple before the wedding, which made a huge difference on the big day. Even though he wasn't our photographer, we were so impressed with his work and how comfortable he made us feel that we knew we'd want to work with him again for future events--and boy, are we glad we did! On the wedding day, Colby brought such a relaxed yet focused energy, which made everything seamless. He made the experience fun, capturing all of our most cherished moments in a breathtaking video. We still watch it regularly to reminisce! He also provided us with a fully edited video very quickly after the wedding, along with the most adorable keepsake--a wooden box with a handheld video display inside. It's a memory we'll treasure forever and something we're excited to share with our family for years to come. Fast forward a year, and my husband and I are now expecting our first child. Knowing how amazing Colby was at our wedding, we immediately thought of him for our maternity photoshoot, even though he hadn't done our photography on our wedding day. My husband reached out to Colby last minute to organize a surprise shoot, and Colby was so accommodating--he fit us in that same week! Once again, he brought his A-game, and the photo session was just as effortless and enjoyable as our wedding day. Colby captured this special moment in our lives beautifully, and we received the photos promptly after the shoot. We're absolutely in love with how they turned out, and it's clear that Colby is not only an incredible videographer but also a phenomenal photographer. We can't recommend Colby enough! Whether you need a videographer, a photographer, or both, Colby is the person you want by your side to capture life's most precious moments. We would 100% work with him again and recommend him to everyone we know!

When we had an online meeting, confirmed the dates and even corrected the owner on the CORRECT DATE being March 11th NOT MAY, to which he told us he would fix but now we know he didn't. And we did sign a contract and even paid for the services early. How would we pay for our services and have date saved if we didn't have contract or confirmed booking? Make it make sense. Mind you, we booked/had a meeting in AUGUST of 2023. And yes, a replacement photographer was offered AFTER the wedding had started and our venue was in Benicia. It would've taken them some time to get to our venue with their business being in SACRAMENTO and even IF they would have been able to arrive within 15-30 minutes, they would've missed the getting ready pictures for our bridal party and ceremony. I can't believe this business is trying to pull this stunt about 2 years after the fact to try and save face? This is absolutely disgusting behavior. Again, I would not recommend this business. I'm updating this review since they have changed their response on Google Reviews and I'm setting the record straight.

Then from planning and what I envisioned how I wanted the pics, Emily already had something in mind which was so helpful. Pricing was great and what her packaged offered. Flexible with days and hours was a plus for me since I work. Comes to the day of the pictures, Emily was already at the park setting up and when it came to taking the pictures she was so patient with my son it took him awhile to see what we were doing. Emily went way beyond expectations and I appreciate it so much! Then finally the day came and the pictures were perfect! She provided many for me to choose but I couldn't because I love them all! I will be using Emily photography in the near future and definitely recommend! You will not regret it!

If you're even slightly considering hiring Danielle for any type of photography...DO IT. Hiring Danielle to take my engagement and wedding photos was the single best decision I made throughout the entire wedding planning process. From our introductory phone call to our last set of emails about fixing a (beautiful absolutely perfectly shot) wedding photo (that was ruined by a wedding crasher), Danielle was nothing but friendly, warm, professional, knowledgeable, and all-around delight. A huge amount of our guests commented how kind and unobtrusive Danielle was and how they wished their wedding photographer had been more like her. And I haven't even gotten to her talent yet. Danielle is just a really damn good photographer. My husband and I both don't particularly love having our photo taken and, if I'm being honest, we haven't worn more than sweats in the last 2+ years since we both work from home. Every photo Danielle has taken of us is absolutely stunning and we both felt so comfortable with her during the process. I seriously cannot recommend her enough.
