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!

She puts you at ease, and makes the shoot fun. She's phenomenal with kids. She'll find your best angle. And you know when someone emanates GOOD VIBES? That's Susan for you. Just a really decent human being with a crazy talent for photography. We've shot with her twice and would do again and again. Cannot recommend her enough. And talk about VALUE. Very affordable and fair pricing.

She was prompt and friendly with my responses and was very accommodating to what I wanted. We had family travelling from all over to join in the celebrations. The actual party was in March while COVID was unravelling all around the world. Even with all the uncertainty at this time, Julia came to our home and spent 3 hours taking photos for us. She took great photos which I will treasure for the rest of my life.

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!

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!!

Almost two years ago, Tomasz led a team of photographers to capture my wedding, for roughly 10-12…read morehours. He didn't do our engagement photos, but we met up to discuss our suggestions and ideas, and he also provided some input when we shared our concerns about lighting at the ceremony. He captured our moments beautifully, both at the ceremony and reception. We also spent a few hours taking photos with our wedding party at some specific outdoor locations, in which he and his partner followed in their own vehicle. The quality of his photos were great, and he was fun to work with. When we weren't sure how to stage ourselves for a photo, he'd offer some guidance. During our reception, he displayed a slideshow of the moments he captured througout the day, and I thought that was a nice touch. We spoke little to each other throughout the day because I was confident in his ability to photograph all that was going on. His style is appropriate at various times, where he is able to capture the mood during the more ceremonial moments and at dinner time when everyone was more relaxed. He provided us with all the photographs at the end, and a beautiful coffee book that I still look at to remind me of that day. Gives me butterflies every time I look at the photos. One photo that I think illustrates his talent and creativity is where he photographs my wedding shoes by hanging them off my parent's tree in their front yard. My very own shoe tree!. Ask him to show it to you :)

He isn't just a photographer, he's an ARTIST!!!! He has an eye for perspective, lighting and also makes the whole experience enjoyable and comfortable. I just can't get over how amazing the photos turned out. Talented, patient, creative...not to mention they are the NICEST COUPLE EVER. Our photos turned out better than we could have ever hoped! Maik captured every single moment and detail of my dad's big day perfectly. We had SO MANY great shots from that day - I don't think there was a single photo we didn't love. I can't say enough great things about this photographer. My entire family is just in awe of your talent! You captured every moment in such a beautiful, natural manner. Looking at the photos makes me feel like I'm reliving every aspect of that day. Nirvana Photography Studios is also competitive in their pricing. I HIGHLY recommend them. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! YOU DESERVE 10 STAR!!!!

They are a husband and wife team, are so flexible and easy to work with, the whole family was pleased with them, and they delivered a beautiful product.

They even sent separate thank you notes to me and my sister-in-law and the pictures arrived quickly in a lovely matching custom wooden box and USB stick. Very prompt with correspondence and photo delivery. We can't wait for our other sessions and are happy we've found a great, affordable photographer in Vancouver! We'll surely be using them again to photograph our own little one who is on the way.
