The photos came in the exact time she quoted us but the edits look like pictures taken and edited off an iPhone. Not happy with them. I had to re-crop and edit majority of all photos as best I could as all the edits completely washed out our skin tone, the colors of the sky etc. I asked for the raws so I could just edit them myself from scratch and it's been 2 weeks and still haven't received them. Didn't remind us or inform to take phones/wallets out of pockets so those just look lovely in all our photos **sarcasm**. Book with someone else who knows what they're doing and takes their time on special memories like this. Updating my review! Got some of the raws back a day after making my review, which was nice of her to send as she said she didn't usually do so, but the quality of the photos look like they were taken on an iPhone..it was nice to see some of the photos that didn't come through as finals. Aside from how the photos came out, the one positive was that Anel was easy to communicate with and nice overall!!

As a wedding coordinator, I'm always a little skeptical when working with new vendors because you never know what to expect in terms of professionalism, communication, and work ethic. Brandon exceeded every expectation. He was incredibly easy to work with, provided great direction during photos, and helped create a fun, relaxed atmosphere throughout the day. His sense of humor and lighthearted personality made the experience enjoyable for both the couple and the vendor team. From what I've seen on social media, his work is absolutely stunning, and I can't wait to see the full gallery from our event. I would confidently recommend Brandon to my clients and look forward to the opportunity to work with him again in the future.

Sergio was on time, very professional, precise on directions, he instructed me where to place my hands, turn my head or where to look etc. He brought facial expressions out of me that I never knew that was there.

We hired this company twice for real estate photography, and after both experiences I would NOT…read morerecommend them. Their photography and editing process relies heavily on bracketing, HDR processing, AI techniques, and outsourced post-production, resulting in photos that looked extremely overprocessed, artificial, and nothing like the home. The editing seemed to compensate for shortcomings in the photography itself. If the images were properly captured and processed, they shouldn't require this level of manipulation. Instead, the final product looked fake, with unrealistic colors and heavy-handed edits. After waiting eight weeks, we still couldn't use the photos to list our home. The biggest issue wasn't just the low quality--it was getting anyone to fix the mistakes. The salesperson, Kate, was genuinely kind and promised all the right things in the beginning, but once the project reached production, communication completely fell apart. We had productive phone calls. I sent detailed lists of corrections with screenshots, then received responses saying they were completed. Then, discovered only part of the list had actually been addressed. This happened repeatedly, requiring constant follow-up. Our Matterport and Zillow tours had mislabeled rooms, and an entire back portion of the house was missing from the floor plans. By the time those issues were finally corrected, we had exchanged 43+ emails and dozens of phone calls over six weeks, and each revision still only fixed part of the list. We finally got the floor plans and tours close enough to done. The photos still weren't right. Some were oversaturated, including a completely fake "dusk" shot that was not actually taken at dusk--it had a pink sky added along with a dirty darkening filter that made the street in front of the house look grimy. We were charged extra for that. Other areas of the home appeared smeared from AI processing, while the brass hardware pulls on the primary closet and bathroom were grayed out. The most baffling example: our white walls kept coming back gray. I even requested the RAW files to understand what was happening during the editing process. The RAW files showed that the original color information was accurate--the walls were white and off-white and the colors were natural. The unrealistic gray walls and closets were introduced during editing and no one would fix it. After several weeks of back-and-forth, I asked to speak directly with Cody, the owner and fellow real estate professional, who explained that his editing team had decided to make them gray because a previous property we had photographed with them had gray walls. I was astounded --- he promised it would be corrected in the next round of revisions and he'd get back to me. He never did. I went back to Marylou in production and waited for days. First, she claimed my email went into her spam folder. Kate caught that, so immediately texted me to make sure I knew it was being worked on. 5 days later, another set of revisions came back - everything still gray, previously removed shadows were added back in, edits we had updated this far were now gone - back to square one. The low quality photos we received look nothing like these examples shown on this Yelp page. Our first project had similar issues, but Cody had stepped in and made corrections early on so I certainly didn't expect to have this happen again. We experienced the same problems again - the quality issues, unrealistic edits, and need for extensive corrections were repeated by his off shore editing team. The lack of quality control and endless revision cycle were, in my opinion, profoundly unprofessional - especially considering that Cody and his team were all made aware that my husband is the Realtor and that we are selling this home. I'd hate to think this was intentional. This wasn't just an inconvenience. Because we couldn't get usable marketing materials for nearly two months, we missed a critical listing window. We requested a refund due to the proven quality issues and ongoing revisions that were not resolved over 8 weeks of time, but Cody refused. If you're a homeowner or Realtor with a time-sensitive listing, I would NEVER hire this company. We gave them every opportunity to make things right and still ended up without photographs we could use to market our home. UPDATE: Cody was not professional enough to return my husband's call -- as if ignoring all these mistakes means his team had done a "good enough" job. You all can see the mistakes in the photos below - it's NOT about 'satisfaction'. You decide if desaturated, AI mistakes are what you want when listing your home. See the silver handle, why can't they fix these simple mistakes?https://projects.truvueproductions.com/listings/019e7f23-2c00-7188-be5d-2443091576d2/download-center#&gid=1&pid=26 Cody NEVER reviewed these photos after asked 3x. Where are the photos from the 2nd trip there?

I knew I didn't want to pose for hours for photos, I wanted to go and enjoy my party and that's exactly what we did.
