Koby Photography knows how to make me shine - so you just know I had to do a review!…read more Our Yelp Community Manager - Issabelle - uses chief photographer Ian for most of our Yelp events. What triggered me to write this review? Well after a posting of a recent Yelp gig, a friend remarked to me that I looked like - "Drakes producer" in one of the pics!!! LMAO! Ok do I even know how to play the flute if my life depended on it, to let alone be worthy of being positioned in front of a production board!?! Hahaha! Don't even ask me to rap or sing - especially if you value your hearing!!! Regardless I'll take the accolade & if anyone wants one - my new business card now reads below my name - 'Drakes Producer.' LOL. Ian has the knack for capturing that 'cool factor moment!' He's snapped me so many times & had me looking all GQ! I've said to myself at times about my own pics he's taken - who is that cause wow! Hahaha! Vanity speaking I guess! Ian has worked with Rockstar Energy Drink, Budweiser, Swatch, UberEats, Yelp! Vancouver & many others! He's very well travelled & has taken pics all over the world. From the events I've been to - I've seen the result when the pics come out - he has an amazing ability to capture that precise special moment & the pics glow! Have a look at Ians amazing portfolio - https://www.koby.photography/ As well have a peek at his Instagram - kobyphotography.

Due to Covid, our family wasn't able to attend my sister's wedding earlier this year, but…read morefortunately she was able to have a reception that we could attend this fall! Since we didn't get to get ready together on her real wedding day, I hired Michael to capture some photos of all the sisters getting ready, and I'm so glad I did! It was super easy to communicate with Michael from across the country before the reception, and on the day he was on time, super friendly and easy to work with. He took both candid and posed shots of us, and he has an amazing eye for cool spots for photos. His turnaround time was super fast as well, we had the pictures a few days later! He got some amazing shots (not an easy feat in the pandemonium of the day) and we now have some treasured keepsakes to remember a special day. Thank you again Mike!

My fiance and I are extremely fortunate to have had worked with Emily Nicole. She helped me capture…read morethe surprise proposal I had imagined with her amazing talent. Emily is undoubtedly proficient and passionate about her work, which shows through her pictures! My fiance and I were on a week long trip beginning from Oregon to Washington and finished in Vancouver. Months leading up to our excursion, I was searching for a 'proposal' photographer in the area where we will spend the last couple of days of our trek. I had a specific look in mind, and after going through many photographers nothing matched my vision. At that point I came across Emily's page on here, I was somewhat hesitant from the number of reviews she had, however when i viewed her site, and social media page I was sold! I booked her immediately! Emily was extremely receptive to my questions and suggestions. She helped to ease my mind by sharing her experiences and going through different possibilities which made me feel more comfortable. Since she's a local to the area, she was able to handle everything I tossed at her. Even leading up to the 'huge day', she confirmed my final location and how she was going to set herself up in order to capture the right angles while staying incognito (she wore a black trench coat like Inspector Gadget and had like 3 cameras under it - it was amazing!). Capilano Bridge is a wonderful well-protected park only a couple of minutes North of Vancouver. This was the perfect place for a memorable proposal over their popular 140 meters suspension bridge. After the nerve-racking minute (She said, Yes! What's more, I didn't drop the ring!). She had the two of us model for her all through the park. She made us feel really comfortable by becoming acquainted with us as a team and suggesting the best ways to pose for the camera. Once Emily warmed up, you could tell that this wasn't her first rodeo (whatever that means); she would set up her shots by moving all through the bridges and platforms like a feline, while my Fiance and I remained there thinking about whether she would ever return. Haha, it was great! To sum everything up. We are more than grateful for the opportunity to work with Emily Nicole and couldn't have picked a better photographer to capture this special moment. She thinks about connecting with her customers and thus you feel good and engaged while on the photoshoot. The pictures you get a while later are proof of what an all-around amazing photographer she is! Because of her, we have some great photos that we'll be sharing with our loved ones! Much appreciated once more, Emily Nicole!

Emily was fantastic to work with and provided us with the most amazing photos! My husband and I are…read moreboth very picky with photography and she exceeded all of our expectations. She went above and beyond to make our day special for us in so many ways. She flew all the way to Edmonton to photograph us, found a great second photographer, helped to plan a day-of itinerary, modified her packages to meet our unique needs, gave us guidelines for family and group photos, and helped keep us all organized and on time throughout the day. She gave us such a diverse spread of photos to keep afterwards and the dramatic style of her photographs and editing is remarkable. Not to mention she is super kind and patient. 10/10, would 100% recommend!

Tomasz is simply amazing, said my wife. And that is quite rare from Tracy…read more As a business person I expect professionalism from any person I do business with. Tomasz deliver much more than that - he treated everyone of us as friends and blended right in. He communicated with everyone and brought the most relaxing part of everyone during the wedding. We just saw our first set of photos. They worked well to convey an emotive story, and we felt that we were re-living the wedding again. And that is exactly what I asked for - none commercial but perhaps documentary of what really took place in our weddings. We are now happily waiting for our film. With our sincere thanks, Tomasz. Tracy & David

Tomasz is a fantastic photographer. He did our company photos last year (one of which, I'm using…read morefor my Yelp profile pic currently!). He has great vision and is so friendly and laid back. I was most impressed by his work at a friend's wedding where he had a slideshow up and running during the reception of the photos he took during the day! He's always trying new ways to play with light and photographs. I'd definitely recommend him! Thank you Tomasz for your wonderful work on our business portraits!!

I have worked with Tamea several times in the past few years and I couldn't be happier to give her…read morea 5 star review. Her eye for beauty (even when I don't see it) is amazing. A lot of work these days is over edited, anyone can be a "photographer" with photoshop. Tamea's natural eye makes her photos stand out above the rest. Her personality brings out the best in you and she somehow captures it on film. I am always pleased with the quick turnaround and have never felt like I misspent my money. These photos are some that I will truly treasure forever.

After looking at about a billion websites for local photographers, I chose Tamea Burd Photography…read morebecause I really liked her style and her pictures look like real people, not plastic robots. I booked at the last minute for online profile pictures I needed really fast, and Tamea was awesome about accommodating me. My session was a million times easier and more fun than I'd been expecting it to be. (I was pretty much expecting to hate it.) She's so relaxed and easy to talk to, you almost forget you've paid her to take pictures for you. This is a good thing. As for my photos, they're amazing, if I do say so myself. Because she made me feel super comfortable and didn't force me to do anything I didn't feel happy about - no stupid awkward poses, no fake smiles - for once, I actually really, really like photos of myself. There are cheaper photographers out there, but her prices are definitely reasonable, plus she doesn't charge extra for stuff like black and white shots, which I love. Oh, and she gave me excellent information in advance about how to get ready, which was massively helpful. Overall a great experience and great photos.

Prompt reply when answering questions that you may have about the shoot. The value is amazingly because she gives you all the photos taken during the session, unlike others who charges more but gives you like 25 digital prints. Plus you can pick a location of your choice ! I had a hard time because others didn't allow you to choose. A tremendous value with quality service. I highly recommend Julia!
