I hate writing bad reviews but feel it's important to warn other brides of Kate's work. My…read moredaughter's wedding pictures were of very poor quality much were unusable. They were off Center, unedited or cropped. When contacted regarding this problem she asked which one we wanted fixed that of which should very little difference. Personally I think all pictures should have been fixed before being sent out but " nothing". When I attempted to contact Kate again, No response.! We have had to pick through the photos and edit/crop ourselves working with what we have. I'm so disappointed! Brides Beware

If you're thinking of hiring Michelle, this is your sign to do it. I needed engagement photos to…read moresend out to my family, and WOW. It's hard to find photographers who you vibe with and make you feel like THAT GIRL, but Michelle went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. She took her time to nail the angles, and we were walked through a lot of poses to make sure I got what I specifically wanted, which was genuine and candid photos. I especially like the types of photos she makes since they are more on the soft lighting, and the sun was absolutely on our side this day. My husband isn't one to take pictures, and this man was laughing and impromptu-ing like no tomorrow! He definitely felt comfortable to be in front of the camera, and not to mention the beautiful scenery Michelle chose. I didn't know the 152 could look so amazing! Michelle is communicative, has a good turn around time for pictures, and definitely makes sure your vision comes alive. I couldn't choose a handful, so I added screenshots of my most favorite!

I am so glad I hired Adam for my surprise proposal to my girlfriend. Living in SoCal and having…read morenever been to Monterey/Big Sur, I planned my whole proposal based on google searches, reddit threads, and word of mouth. Being a Big Sur/Monterey local, Adam provided extremely helpful insight and feedback for my proposal. He definitely helped relieve a lot of the stress during the planning phase of my proposal. On the day of the actual shoot, the day-of jitters was overwhelming at times, but Adam's energy and demeanor was very centering. He was patient and gave my new fiancee and I space to calm ourselves, and also knew when to take charge and guide us with our poses. He also had amazing and creative ideas for how to pose and brought us to local, reclusive spots to take intimate photos. Best of all, Adam always had a smile on his face and he made us really think like we were supermodels walking the runway haha. If you're going to do any photoshoot, especially a proposal or engagement shoot, in the Big Sur/Monterey area, I would highly recommend getting Adam!!
