If you only read one line from this review, please read this;…read more Kelly and the team are the best photographers in the business and you should absolutely hire them. Encor previously shot engagement & wedding photo's for my brother-in-law's and the pictures came out absolutely wonderful, so we decided to also go with them for our engagement and wedding photography needs. They made the engagement shoot extremely easy, providing a list of recommended shooting locations and even scoped out the perfect area for us based on our request. On our wedding day we were worried as heavy rains were forecasted. The team did a great job of scouting out the area and giving us plan B's and plan C's in case we needed alt shooting locations. The photography was amazing and did a great job of helping us keep our energy up while keeping everything relaxed. The photographers were so creative with different lighting effects and camera angles despite not being familiar with the new wedding venue we chose. We feel they certainly got the best photos possible and were great with making accommodations for requests during the ceremony and reception. We received a few sneak peeks of our photos and are absolutely blown away so far! We couldn't be happier with choosing Encor and would encourage anyone that is looking for the best possible team and pictures to utilize them!

Thank you Encor Studio for taking all of our beautiful photos for our wedding! We loved them all…read moreand I can't stop looking at them haha It was such a pleasure working with the Encor team. Kelly and tony were kind and followed up with my timeline I had created with my day of coordinator for the wedding and leading up to the day they were great to work with. They also did our engagements which we loved since we feel like we could be awkward but they were wonderful for our reception. I will cherish all these photos I have with family and friends and we can thank them enough for spending a 14 hour day with us. We can't wait to see our video from the best day!

I am blown away with their service. I was able to meet with them many times before my wedding days…read more(2-day wedding) to plan out in detail. They listened to all my requests, took beautiful photos efficiently, communicated with me, and really took the time to make my photos beautiful. All while giving me an affordable package. Ryan is very easy to work with and so is the rest of his team. I requested that they blend in the background and they were so flexible with me when things didn't go right. They also arrived to every event on time and ready to go (I had my wedding in corona and reception in orange county) I'm so lucky I went with them for such an important day in my life. I highly recommend them for any event and photoshoots.

Ryan showed us how to do and patiently take another one if we don't see it beautiful. He listens to us when we want to change locations. We're really satisfied with his work.

Khoa is super professional and super friendly! His work is beautiful all around. I would recommend…read morehim to anyone looking for a great artist!

I discovered Khoa shortly after I got engaged in 2019. I was scrolling through Facebook & saw on my…read morefeed that a college friend had posted some engagement photos. I saw Khoa was located in SoCal, but I was located in NorCal. I emailed him inquiring about his accessibility to the DLR (we are huge fans). He responded quickly and scheduled a video consultation. Meeting Khoa in person for the first time on the day of my engagement shoot was absolutely perfect. My then fiancé and I basically spent the entire time riding rides, eating, laughing, and having a good time. We felt so comfortable around Khoa and I couldn't believe how well we all got along. I hired Khoa this year to do my "minimony" aka small wedding ceremony photos. I remember as I sat in the chair for my hair & makeup, he brought us all some food in case we were hungry. Super thoughtful and sweet. We did encounter a few hiccups in the engagement & minimony shoots, but they shouldn't be a focal point of this review because Khoa DELIVERED. He created beautiful memories with amazing quality. We even ordered a 40" x 60" HD sublimation print of one of his shots and hung it up in our living room. It is absolutely breathtaking. Art. It's taken me so long to write this review because I can't really put into words how much I've enjoyed Khoa's work professionally, and most importantly, how well my husband and I connected with him!!! Khoa is everything I've hoped and dreamed of in a photographer. He is compassionate, hard-working, and creative. He's quirky, friendly, funny, stylish, and reminds me of an Asian Johnny Depp. Don't hesitate to hire him - you'll be in good hands. And if you're lucky like me, you'll also gain a good friend.

Wow, where to begin? Ok - starting with the general photos and vibe. When browsing for a photo…read morevendor, I'd been seeing a lot of airy pictures or color that was orangey - meh. I wanted something that looked like the cover of a romance novel. A romantic vibe. During this journey, we were introduced to this Lin and Jirsa (referred by a venue I think? Not quite now). Fast forward - I had an amazing experience with Juliana for our engagement photo shoot. Honestly, I wasn't even going to do the engagement photo shoot but the more I looked at Lin and Jirsas photos the more obsessed I got. Once you commit, you fill out a questionnaire and they even ask for inspo photos, good AND bad which I thought was cool! I'm so so so happy that Juliana will be with me on my upcoming wedding day. She was really great at coaching poses, which I was super nervous about. She showed photos in real time. Might I add, it's absolutely fascinating what settings on a camera, and someone holding a lighting stick can produce. The photos she showed me in real time looked like the magic that was produced in our viewing album! She was receptive to feedback about how I felt about myself in pics. Me: "My arm looks skinnier but when my hand is on my hip but I don't want to look like I'm trying to be skinny and have the same pose so like um, I don't know what I want." Juliana "I got you! Let's try this!" No hesitation. She also was very purposeful with the photos she took. She wasn't aimlessly snapping her camera with hopes of a good one - she was intentional and thoughtful. Julianas personality was great - engaging, funny, thoughtful. Her lighting assistant Diana (I think that was her name, so sorry I don't quite remember!) was super easy going too and took the direction of whatever vision Juliana had. The support team that emails you is very nice and efficient. I feel bad that I've not gotten back to them nearly as quickly as they replied to me! The original beach we selected Victoria Beach, ended up having super high tide so when we got there, she immediately had Plan B, no time wasted. When we got to the beach, we really wanted a picture with this seal we saw on a rock (from a safe distance of course so as to not bug). It looks like CGI but she got the pic!! She was climbing over rocks and really putting in effort to get good shots! At the end of the shoot I spontaneously wanted to get in the water and she happily snapped some shots and they came out great! (Visible in my post here). If you have any thoughts or concern about the cost or if it's a good idea - ITS THE BEST IDEA, do it!!! Before I ever saw their site (well, stared at it for hours) I never knew this was something I would want, or feel comfortable with. If you're getting married and are unsure because hey, weddings are insanely expensive, remember that your pics with live forever. So just commit, enjoy the process, and look forward to being absolutely in love with the magic this company creates!

I've literally been following Lin and Jirsa on Instagram YEARS before I got married because I just…read morelove their photography and style so much! I almost didn't go with them because they were slightly out of our budget, but my amazing husband convinced me to just book them because he knew how much I love their work! I'm so glad he did because I'm OBSESSED with how nicely our pictures turned out! From initially reaching out for a consultation, to our engagement pictures, and finally to our wedding pictures, everyone that I have been in contact with at Lin & Jirsa has been very professional and responsive. I don't know if we just got lucky, or if the studio manager knew who we would get along with, but the photographer we were paired up with was PERFECT for my husband and I. Our photographer Nick did both our engagement and wedding pictures, and he made the entire process feel so effortless and fun! He was extremely easy to talk to and was incredibly funny, but also good at guiding us on how to pose for the pictures. We truly could not have asked for a more perfect photographer for us. The experience we had working with the Lin & Jirsa crew on our wedding day was nothing short of fantastic, and I am beyond satisfied. The only thing that's slightly a downside with choosing Lin & Jirsa is the long turnaround times with pictures. Our engagement pictures took about 9 weeks to get back, and our wedding pictures were quoted 10-12 weeks, and we got them back pretty much exactly at 12 weeks. I definitely think it was worth the wait, but I definitely had to force myself to try to not think about the wait LOL Overall though, I am incredibly pleased with the final product (picture-wise at least, I haven't gotten our video back yet!) I love Lin & Jirsa's editing style, how vivid the colors are and how crisp the photos look overall. I feel like the current trend is airy/faded, which I don't like at all, lol. Lin & Jirsa are one of the few companies I've found with that style, and based on our highly positive experience, I'd definitely recommend them :)

From the very beginning, we knew Foto.Love was something special. After our first meeting with…read moreChris, we were completely at ease. His professionalism, transparency, and thorough communication set the tone for everything that followed. He walked us through the process so clearly that we didn't even need to ask many questions--he was already one step ahead. It was clear from the start that Chris and his team were invested in making our wedding day not just beautiful, but truly unforgettable. On the wedding day itself, the two videographers sent by Foto.Love were absolutely phenomenal. They captured every magical moment with such artistry, yet they were so discreet that we hardly even noticed they were filming. Every shot was thoughtful and meaningful, and their presence added to the calm, joy-filled energy of our day. After the wedding, Chris once again delivered with clear and supportive communication, giving us honest timelines and updates during the editing process. He was also incredibly patient as I chose the perfect music for our films--he truly wanted everything to reflect our vision. Now, thanks to the Foto.Love team, we have not just one, but three stunning wedding films that are nothing short of spectacular. They are flawless, cinematic, and emotional in all the best ways. Every time we watch them, we are transported back to the best day of our lives. I would relive our wedding in a heartbeat, and Foto.Love is a huge part of why it was so perfect. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Chris and the entire team, for capturing our love story so beautifully.

Giac is so easy to work with. My husband and I aren't very comfortable in front of the camera, but…read moreGiac made it very easy and fun. NTG were our photographers for our engagement pictures and wedding. From the beginning, Giac was a great sport. I wasn't going to do engagement pictures, but saw these photos of White Sands National Monument and thought it would be the perfect setting for engagement pictures. Who would be down to go to another state and backpack through sand dunes? GIAC that's who! The pictures turned out better than I could have imagined. They were one of the highlights from the whole pre-wedding process. engagement pictures: http://www.ntgphotography.net/juliean/ On the wedding day, we had a very full schedule (4 ceremonies and a reception) and Giac was energetic through it all and never complained. Giac settled our nerves by getting us into fun poses and it made for some genuine, candid pictures, which I love. Throughout the whole process, Giac was very easy to communicate with and had worked with many of our vendors before to make sure the entire day went every smoothly. He was very personable and easy to work with. It made us and our guests very comfortable and that showed in our photographs. wedding pictures: http://www.ntgphotography.net/julian/ I could never thank them enough for the amazing work that they did!
