The first thing I noticed about Tiffany was her speed of response and how accurate she was in describing what she did, how long it took, where to do it and what it cost. Then came the emails and the texts with examples and a to-do list. I was to send her pictures of myself in outfits - and she commented on each one with her professional eye and we chose three. She was also incredibly flexible on where to shoot. On the day of the shoot, I was incredibly surprised at her eye to detail, willingness to take a million shots, constant change in her own positions and the ease with which she made me feel at home. It did not end there. A week later, I had a zoom apt with her that blew me away. I wanted to buy all of them but decided on five. Just excellent work! Tiffany is amazing - I am hoping soon I can get my entire team's shots with her. Thank you Tiffany!

She made my husband and me (at 35 weeks pregnant!) feel comfortable in front of the camera, and her creativity and expertise gave us some truly remarkable images that capture the love, beauty, and tenderness in these important moments in our lives. If you get the chance, work with Tiffany. You'll be so happy you did.

After a quick phone call to go over the details, he immediately jumped into action and made the entire process stress free. Shaun captured our proposal perfectly and delivered absolutely stunning photos that exceeded every expectation. On top of that, he sent us sneak peeks the very next day, which made us even more excited to see the full gallery. Throughout the experience, Shaun was professional, patient, experienced, and attentive to what we wanted. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured every special moment beautifully. If you're looking for someone who is passionate about their work, I can't recommend Shaun enough. I would absolutely hire him again!!

Not only were the photos amazing and captured our love perfectly, but she kept our timetable on point and was super helpful with keeping the day on track. She's super fun and sweet and overall just great to work with. When I look back at my wedding photos it reminds me of what a special day it was. She captured memories that my brain was too overwhelmed to register in the moment, that might've been lost forever if I didn't have the photographic evidence. I will cherish these photos forever

She captured our wedding perfectly, and set the mood and tone for the entire event. She was extremely professional and made it so easy to keep on a timeline so we didn't have to worry about anything that day. When I look back on my photos the joy of the day radiates out of them, which is incredible to capture in a single picture! She made the photo taking process so easy, even though my husband and I aren't big photo takers and is just a wonderful human who is so easy to work with. The next time we need any photos in the future I am definitely calling upon her. I'm at a loss for words for how happy I am with our photos, and just cannot recommend her enough.

We were initially planning a March 2018 wedding, before finally settling on September 2018. Holly was great and very flexible with us changing dates around. I met Holly and her husband Bruce before hiring them - they left a great first impression, they are full of energy, professional & great people. Holly photographed our engagement photos in an unconventional way. My now husband was coming home from a 6 month deployment on a submarine & I wanted to have a photographer there and have those as our engagement pictures since we had gotten engaged right before he left on deployment. He came home from his last deployment in May 2017. Holly was very accommodating with our situation and not knowing a lot of details ahead of time due to operational security. The photos turned out beautiful, and we even got shots with my husbands family that was visiting from out of town. Holly made everyone feel comfortable and got through the pictures in a timely manner! Fast forward to our September 2018 wedding, I had sent Holly inspirational pictures that I wanted re-created on our wedding day & she made sure that we got them all! Holly and I had a phone call about a week before the wedding to discuss family shots and not to miss pictures, she provided lots of great suggestions along with taking my ideas into account as well. Holly was prompt on our wedding day meeting the ladies at the hotel and got to shooting straight away. I knew that Holly would blend in just fine with the moms and girls, she's professional yet personable. Bruce usually shoots with Holly on wedding days but he had a family accident and was unable to attend. Holly provided a wonderful substitute photographer - Derek of Derek Chad Photography. He was a wonderful addition and blended right in. You could tell that they had a great connection as photographers and worked well together! Holly and Derek were both extremely accommodating on our wedding day - they were available to us when there were group shots we wanted to get, yet they made sure not to miss all the details. The turnaround time for our pictures was phenomenal, I was in awe of how fast Holly returned the photos to us, she had the photos to us NINE DAYS after the wedding! I've heard of some people having to wait months, I'm very impressed with the turnaround time and the quality of Holly's photography! Holly was familiar with our venue and our getting ready location, the Coronado Community Center and the Glorietta Bay Inn. We were running a bit behind on the wedding day - Holly ensured that we were still able to get in all of the pictures and navigated Coronado like a pro! We are so pleased with the final product & the delivery of the product! I can't wait to display the photography around our future house and share with our families for the holidays. I hope to work with Holly in the future for all of our photography needs! Holly is professional, attentive to detail, and always energetic - you can't go wrong with booking Holly for any photography needs!

My husband was so thrilled and thankful for the service we received. Not only did she travel to my getting ready location, but she also followed us to the venue where she proceeded to take more shots of us. While I have known Erika for a few years, I can guarantee my review is certainly not biased, for I am extremely picky about professionality and quality of the work I am paying for. Erika and Hannah teamed up to capture the "money shots" (our first looks walking down the aisle) and any other shots we wanted to take. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Erika and Hannah were enjoyable to be around, remained professional, and stayed for several hours to capture my entire day. You will not be disappointed with Erika and her team. She is a perfectionist and a true artist. Some moments are not possible to capture with the naked eye. She uses her artistic vision to capture these moments so you can have them forever. Again, she is someone you want to capture your special day. You will not be disappointed with her service. "If you want someone completely professional who you won't even notice at your wedding while she's working, and can take amazing shots, then she is the photographer for you. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone having a wedding or other events or family portraits or whatever. She is versatile with her craft so there's no way you won't like her or her work. She is definitely going to go far in her career, so book her while you can." - Jacob Pinkney (my husband)

There are several packages to choose from depending on your budget. We chose the full download option and also for some additional photos to be edited. We are so excited to print them on canvas and update our family photo wall! Photos with family can be stressful but with Dom, it was easy and fun!

I don't have enough wonderful things to say about Lauren. As a photographer, as a person, as a…read morebusinesswoman - she is fantastic! She never seemed intrusive during our wedding, yet she managed to capture all of the best and most intimate moments with all of our favorite people. She arrived early as I was still getting my hair and makeup done, so she just scoped out the property to find great places as backdrops. She kept the wedding party (a wild bunch) laughing and involved, which we truly appreciated. As if her wonderful personality on the big day wasn't enough , once we got the photos - HOLY CRAP! She's a magician. She captured everything I wanted and more and the photos are stunning. I told my husband it's all downhill from here. If you're able to book her, DO IT. You won't regret it.

She has a great fun vibe that makes her blend right into the party! **What I know brides care most about - Lauren delivered four sneak peek photos THAT NIGHT and ALL of our photos within two weeks of our event!!!** * Lauren made sure we got all the photos and poses I had requested but was also creative and fun directing us to do additional poses that we LOVED! * Lauren was incredibly flexible - we pulled her in so many directions and she worked with any location, lighting or number of people we threw at her! * Lauren was GREAT with lighting! Night time, sunsets and low lighting -- especially with high energy events -- are hard to capture. Lauren did a phenomenal job, she is truly a talented photographer. I will say that the colors in the portfolio photos are almost all crisp, clear and bright. Our photos include more that are a muted palette but still with good contrast that is artsy and beautiful, but good to be aware of. Likewise most of our portrait photos turned out being wider shots, rather than as many closeups as on the portfolio. Just another point to be aware of. Overall Lauren did a phenomenal job capturing our fun, gorgeous, romantic evening. I would absolutely request her again!

Ksenia and her assistant captured the most beautiful day of my life perfectly. Her photos ranged…read morefrom soft and dreamy to bright and radiant, which was great because it summed up the whole experience. One of the reasons we wanted to hire Ksenia in the first place was that her prices were almost bizarrely affordable in contrast to anyone else we looked at. Once we saw her portfolio, we were sold. She is very nice and friendly and seemed sincerely enthusiastic about the whole thing, which is nice because it helped things feel even more special. The only thing that I would say is that I wish I had been more direct with telling her what I wanted because there were a few shots I would have liked to get in and didn't ask for them because I was too overwhelmed with the day. I am sure she would have accommodated whatever I wanted. But that's more about me than anything else I LOVE my photographs and there are so many of them. When your biggest issue is which ones to pick for prints, it's definitely a good thing.

**This is the first review I've EVER written on YELP**…read more Where do I begin, Ksenia was GREAT! We used her for our wedding day, May 25, 2013. While researching photographers, we wanted some one reasonably priced, but quality too! We emailed back and forth through numerous messages, and then met in person to discuss the vision for the wedding day. It was obvious that Ksenia was no novice. I was slightly concerned that on her website there were no African American couples, and maybe that would prove to be an issue. But after speaking with her, seeing her albums, and get a sense of her shooting style, we decided to go for it. BOY, ARE WE GLAD WE DID!! Ksenia was a complete professional, and took AMAZING shots of our day! She captured the emotion, excitement, happiness, and fun the day incorporated... but most importantly she captured the LOVE! I can't stop looking at our pictures, and showing them to ANYONE who will look! In our package, an album is included, which we should be getting in the next couple of days. Can't WAIT! :-) We highly recommend Ksenia.
