This is by far the best photographer around. He was great to work with and very patient with my little one. I was more then satisfied with our beach session and had a very fair price.I also had more then enough print out copies to give my family and friends. My family has been doing business with Artistic West Photography for many years and will continue to go back. I would refer him to anyone for any occasion. Thank you Basel! read more

Time to Shine is the best! I am very happy with Majed and his work. He did a amazing job at my daughter's sweet 16 party. He is very talented. We did some of the photo shoot in a limited spaced room yet Majed worked his talent and was able to capture beautiful pictures. He is very professional,patient and kind hearted man. I was also very happy with his quote! I will refer Time to Shine to all of my friends and family. read more

I would recommend Basel (the owner) and his team for any wedding! We had to postpone our reception due to COVID but still wanted professional photos of us at the courthouse and Basel made it very easy and memorable. He followed all the CDC guidelines (masks at all times, social distancing, etc) The photos came out soooo great! We told him we wanted to take pictures at Laguna Beach and he already knew the perfect photograph spot! He's been doing this for 40+ years and it shows. A great photographer hands down!!! BOOK HIM NOW if you want him because he does get booked up. read more

I've had my wedding done through this company and by far I am so happy with the results and the timing that was delivered. They are the only ones who can fly a drone indoors and shoot it all continuous in 4K. Basel is great and sincere photographer read more

Best Photography and Videography experience ever! I was amazed by the amount of passion and detail they put into editing each and every photo, and video turned out great too. There was nothing to complain about and everything was perfect as is. Mike is very professional and took the time to listen to all the specific details I asked for and he delivered. He's very easy to work with and has the best prices around. I shopped around before I booked him, he gave me the best prices. His taste in video and photos is very modern and I loved all of them.

I highly recommend Time to Shine Photography. I have been using their service for several years and I'm yet to be disappointed. They are always on time, professional, and best of the prices are very reasonable. Photos and video quality is world class with top of the line equipment.

Thank you Time to Shine for making my memories last forever! read more

Majed was an outstanding photographer. I hired him for a family wedding and we ended up using him for pictures of my GF and I. Turned out I actually knew his family and he knew some of my friends! Small world! Anyway Majed was beyond professional and reasonably priced in my opinion. The entire night he was non stop recording and taking pictures, his work ethic was phenomenal! At the end of the night I saw him take a 10 min break and that was the only one he took the entire day! That's what you call a hard worker! I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again or refer him to family and friends! read more

Excellent. Just excellent. This guy knows how to shoot photos and make them have that something special to remember. Very pleased with the work done. He was able to incorporate our ideas into the photo shoot and make our dream pictures come to life! read more

I definitely recommend Mike for anyone who wants a professional photographer. His work is amazing and he is very detail oriented when it comes to the photos he takes. Everything from the lighting, accessories and timing of the project is spot on. He takes the time to listen to what you want and does exactly what you need. You will not be disappointed in Mike's work. read more

This review is for Mike and Time to Shine, videographer for my July 2015 wedding. I'm super late in reviewing, but I still would like to express my sincere appreciation for Mike and his work. I remember calling him late one day to get a quote expecting to get a voice mail, but he answered! We soon met in Riverside, he answered all my questions, and I booked right away. One of my favorite things about Mike and Time to Shine is how easy it is to communicate with them. Since our wedding was mostly a do it yourself type wedding, I really appreciated vendors that were easy to work with! He was also very flexible and understanding as things were a little disorganized and busy. Mike was calm and super efficient! These are precious memories and it's evident that Mike cares greatly to honor the special occasion and to capture the wedding as best as possible. Thank you for the lovely memories and hope to work with you again!! read more

I used his services for a bar mitzvah and was very pleased with the service. He was on time and very courteous. Pictures came out great and we were happy with the end result. Definitely recommended. read more

Very disappointed!!!!!! He didn't focus on me and my husband he was to worry about taking fish eye photos of everyone else and not focus on what mattered which is me and my husband the bride and groom!!! We didn't get any pictures of just us maybe only 2 and you could see the guest parking lot and cars and we had a nice golf course wedding but when picture time came he was to busy taking pictures of everyone else!! Not only was that disappointing but the pictures we got were pixelated bad!!!! He didn't give us the original pictures he edited them black and white and we never got the colors ones we didn't ask for him to change it to black and white and fish eye look we just wanted our regular original color picture and now we will never get this day back and can't take our pictures again!!! It is very sad that our memories won't be seen!! Wish we could have nice pictures that were bad and some of just me and my husband!!! We contacted him and still almost two years later he hasn't mailed us the original cd without his edit of black and white and fish eye look that he said he added in for us when we didn't even care for that!!! Overall bad service!!!! I wouldn't recommend him at all!!!!! Maybe he learned from our wedding which seem to be one of his first from his experience we had!!! read more

We hired Mike for our wedding and we were not disappointing. Mike and his team were very professional and delivered with their high work quality. They showed up early and worked well with everyone involved. Mike was very flexible throughout the process and was always easy to deal with. The video team caught many beautiful natural shots and did an excellent job with the video editing. I would highly recommend Time to Shine Photography for anyone in need of a high quality video/photo professional. read more
