Hi my name is Aleah. About a week ago I was having a…read morepretty rough day and decided to throw on something comfy clothes and head down to the beach to read a book and relax my mind. I just recently moved to San Diego from Las Vegas about a month ago so you can say the beach is where I like to be to escape and let my thoughts go free. Out of the blue, I was approached by a lovely, warming, and beautiful photographer named Deborah. She was so kind and sweet and informed me that her model had just canceled on her about an hour ago and was wondering if I would want to do a FREE photo shoot for the fun of it! My first response was "well oh my gosh, I have no makeup on and I'm in sweats." Her response was "You are beautiful." I have always dreamt of modeling but never thought I was pretty enough. Deborah thank you for capturing this picture of me in my natural beauty. We are all beautiful and we need more people in the world like Deborah to remind us. I can't thank you enough Deborah for flipping my bad day upside down. If you are in the San Diego area and looking for a photographer don't hesitate to reach out to Deborah. She will let you be you, and be so comforting through the entire process. Thanks for trusting me and believing in me Deborah. I manifest more moments like ours in the future.

The Best Wedding Photographer You Could Ask For!!…read more Cean made our big day, the most memorable day of our lives together! My wife and I could not have been happier with the pictures and experience that Cean & his assistant gave us. Our wedding day had a huge monkey wrench thrown in, when our ceremony got rained out. Cean was on the ball and made the most of it. Which of course set my new bride at ease! He made us feel like celebrities, walking through the vineyard and around the grounds, taking awesome shots together. Everyone at the reception commented on how much they liked Cean, he had a great sense of humor and knew how to wrangle everyone around. After so much anticipation, the email link came in to see all of the photos from the wedding, our hearts melted once again as we relived our special day. I was shocked at how well they captured our emotions. I could not have asked for a better photographer. Thank you Cean!

Cean is a true artist. We hired him to photograph our wedding in 2011. I cherish the moments he…read morecaptured of us on our wedding day and of our guests. He has since continued his magic by photographing our family as it's grown to two kids and dogs. He has also photographed our extended family. He is wonderful with kids, making them laugh, and highlighting their personalities and individuality. I am lucky to call him my friend now after all these years. I would recommend him to anyone who to showcase the lives in your life

The first time I met Chadwick was onsite at a styled photoshoot. We had a small window of time and…read moreI had a very long shot list. He was so quick to adapt and understand my product shot needs and we worked through the shot list efficiently. Chadwick went above and beyond curating images and getting shots of our products that weren't included in our shot list. He crushed it. If we had an extra moment, he was moving things around and working new angles. He worked so quickly and made the most of our time together. We hustled through the photoshoot, but we also connected on a personal level and talked about family, friends, covid pivots, fasting and so much more. And we had fun! I'd highly recommend Chadwick to any company that needs to expand their portfolio or create new content on their website and social channels. We had about 15 products and received over 300 beautifully edited, high quality images. My experience working with Chadwick was professional, efficient and such a blast! Thank you!

Chadwick and Jenika shot our engagement photos last year, and our wedding this past June. I have to…read moreadd my voice to the rest in saying just how comfortable they made the two of us awkward, kinda photo-shy, not overly fond of being in the spotlight people feel. They were great on the business aspect as well. They hit all of the deadlines they gave us, were very organized and communicative, and were flexible when we wanted to adjust the package we were booking. We were planning our wedding from overseas, so all of these things really helped us feel like we were in good hands. During the wedding they built a really great rapport not only with the two of us, but with the wedding party and guests. They're both super positive in a very genuine way: lots of compliments and jokes that make it feel more like a chilled out hang session with your partner (that just happens to also be a photo shoot). Jenika and Chadwick felt as though they were a natural part of our wedding, rather than sticking out like some wedding photographers. (So much that most of the guests assumed they were our friends who just also happened to be the photographers!) They really added to the sense of positivity we wanted at our wedding, and the photos we got back are absolutely gorgeous as well.

"Photography is an art of observation. It has little to do with the things you see and everything…read moreto do with the way you see them." ― Elliott Erwitt, Photographer A QueEighty8 Photography session is more than sitting for pictures. It is a relaxing professional experience. Our family has had the pleasure of working with Q for years and have worked with him for 3 family sessions since 2014. He has a charismatic style that makes a positive connection with everyone from toddlers, to teens, to mature adults that makes everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. I have attended other Q'd up events and noticed that there is no one who can "see" the perfect shot that renders the beautiful memories he creates. I wish I'd known him 30 years ago when we married. Since then I have learned that you can save money on a lot of things for a wedding; food, cake, music, flowers etc. but don't skimp on the photos! Photos last forever!

First things first,if you're thinking about booking Q and reading through the reviews for a sign,…read moreTHIS IS YOUR SIGN!! From start to finish, Q has been very professional and created an experience that felt personal. Everyone doesnt like being photographed(me)but, Q will create a chill and welcoming environment that will make you forget it's a photoshoot.Not sure about sizing? Dont even worry about that,he will show you in person prints and or canvases so you can get a feel for what you need. The zoom photo consultation was so quick and easy.There were no hidden fees,and no time delays with our photos. Infact, there were so many options, it'll be easy when we come back for more prints. If you're worried about whether or not he can photograph that melanin just right, peep the photo. There are even more examples of his talent on his instagram page. What are you waiting for!?!

We had family come into town this summer and we wanted pictures of the whole group/cousins/…read moregrandparents & cousins etc. Christine came to the beach and was able to take awesome pictures of 17 people, in various groupings, all under one hour. She was able to get teenagers to smile and look cute as well as capture the personalities of the adults of the group. My cousin was thrilled with the pictures. She often gets professional pictures taken every year for her holiday card. She said this was the least stressful photo session taking ever, and thought that she had some winners in the group of images Christine sent to us. Christine was able to deliver 114 images to our group one week after taking the pictures. Great turn around time. I wish that I could have her make me look as good in real life. PS... Once again, I didn't post the faces of the people because I want them to remain anonymous, but Christine does a great job getting natural facial expressions. Check out her website for more pictures.

We did a shoot this summer on the beach for the four of us: two adults and two kids ages 13 and 9…read more Christine was amazing to work with! She is fun and you can tell that she absolutely loves what she does. She was miraculously able to get the kids to open up in front of the camera, which resulted in photos that truly captured their personalities instead of those "canned" smiles that look so stiff. On the contrary, Christine was able to get our shy 13 year old laughing, smiling and doing ballet jumps, while our ham of a 9 year old was appropriately animated and enjoying himself. The beach location Christine chose was beautiful and versatile: we walked along the edge of the water, we sat on the rocks, we stood near the tide pools, we splashed in the small waves. Even though it was a fairly overcast evening, Christine was able to work with the light to make us look good. I've had a bit of experience with various photographers and I can honestly say that working with Christine was really fun. If you're looking for a photographer for a family photo session, seriously look no further!

I reached out to Untethered Together last minute after my originally booked videographer fell…read morethrough and I am honestly so glad the other person bailed. Becca was quick to respond and super friendly. She laid out exactly what the final products would be for the hours I requested and they are extremely reasonably price which is such a welcome relief when planning a wedding. They are a husband/wife duo, which is great because you can have her stick with the ladies and him with the boys prior to the ceremony if you're not doing a 1st look (we did not). For roughly 5-6 hours they provided us with 2 videos, 1 of the ceremony in full and one 'highlights' video - this one is about 5-7 mins and is super fun! Shows parts of getting ready, guests mingling, parts of the speeches & reception shenanigans. Not only are the videos extremely well done, but they REALLY captured the best moments of our special day. If anyone reading this is on the fence about getting a videographer for your wedding, you would be doing yourself a disservice to not do it. As I am sure you have heard for everyone how fast the day goes by and it really truly does. There are so many things that I didn't remember until we watched the videos! Being able to hear each other reading our vows out loud, with all the emotion of that day is unbelievably special (it made both me and my husband laugh & CRY). Pictures are of course extremely important for keeping memories of that day with you forever, but being able to watch & hear all of the special moments is something truly priceless. On a more personal note, our wedding was a bit unconventional in our vows/gifts/speeches etc. I was a bit concerned that our vendors wouldn't get it, or that we might make them uncomfortable with our humor but Becca & Dennis were SO GREAT. They totally got us and I could tell right away they were a perfect fit. I very highly recommend you book them for your special event!!

Be careful! When something seems too good to be true like a "affordable videographer", chances are…read moreyou're taking a risk that you're not calculating in the cost. We booked untethered together and provided a deposit to secure the date and they cancelled on us because of their nephew's graduation. A deposit secures a date, any professional business would treat a deposit as such. At the very least they returned the deposit and provided some time between cancelling on us and the wedding date but I was incredibly disappointed. They were one of the few options we had based on our videography budget. Their website speaks of a mission to offer videography to all and I bought in to the hype. They didn't call or email. They sent a message via wedding wire, didn't even have the professional decency to speak to me. So very disappointed.
