On April 21 I recently got Married at the Redondo Beach and Marina Crowne Plaza, the entire process…read moreof planning a wedding is very stressful. It also seems like every vendor is has their own agenda which further complicates the entire process. This is why I loved the work that Yuliya and Oleksiy did for our wedding, I just got a copy of the pictures and I couldn't be more pleased. All you have to do is a take a look at their web site to see they are great photographers and the work they did for us was phenomenal. I guess as some one who has just gone through the whole process I see value in this review if I can express or share something you can't get from a contract, email exchange the many things you can gleam from the long grueling and painful wedding planning process. This is the one moment of truth item, its the fact that they cared and did the things they had to do to make it a great experience, believe me when i tell you not every vendor cares. The Yuka team was extremely friendly to our guests, they stuck to the letter of the contract and if anything exceeded our expectations. They were so kind and it made the day easy. Yuliya and Oleksiy cared and it showed in the product from the actual day of the wedding up until i just got a copy of my pictures a few minutes ago. Yulia has a great eye, she was able to see locations, opportunities and venues and and take advantage of them and it resulted in great pictures. She has the patience of a saint listening to the various photo suggestions people in the wedding party, in addition to family members. They were devoted through out the whole process and if we have an opportunity we would use them again. Yuliya and Oleksiy also handled my sisters weddings and they both feel the same way I do. If you want to to check one thing out of your list of potential stressful items I would recommend going with Yuka

He showed up on time and took great pictures. My mother in-law loved him and thought he was great. My wife said he was fun and made the getting ready part a blast. He kept everything light and fun. Her words, not mine. He got great pictures of our family and friends. Some my family and friends wish they could forget. Delivered the pictures quickly. I'd say about a week after giving approval on proofs. Like a week after we got back from our honeymoon. Plus an unlimited print release! Full resolution, no strings attached on DVD. Not just a handful of pictures, he gave them all to us! Even setup an online gallery/store that we could send quests to to buy pictures. That was great! Every other photographer we talked to had some issue with giving us the pictures at full resolution on DVD. Makes no sense. That's a big issue for me. I'm not gonna pay for something I already paid for again. They aren't doing anything special. Ordering them from walmart like everyone else. The experience was hassle free. He even got my buddy Tim to smile! I hadn't seen him smile in 20 years.

Alec did our wedding photos and I really wish we had hired a different photographer. Alec did the…read morestandard photos, but was not very creative in guiding us through poses. He did not seem to have a good eye for creative shots. I had to give him creative ideas. And the shots of me and the girls getting ready are almost non-existent. I was disappointed in the length of time it took us to get our pictures, he would tell us one date, and the date kept getting pushed back. we didn't get our photos until 3 months after they were promised to us. It was one excuse after another. And we constantly had to reach out to him, he was not very proactive with this information. After looking at our pictures, I was even more disappointed. Many were blurry and out of focus. It was evident that he didn't take his time with his camera. the worst part is that he only really took one picture of each pose, so if a picture was not in focus, that shot was ruined. Ordering prints and getting our package items was also a disappointing experience. Buyers beware... I'm not sure I have anything positive to say...

There are not enough stars to show how highly my fiancee and I think of Michelle. We booked her as…read moreour wedding photographer, which included an engagement session. We knew the photos would be amazing. What we did not expect was how much fun we would have with our engagement session. To say I was a little nervous and my fiancee "did not want to fake a smile or be posed by someone" is an understatement. However, Michelle made the experience easy and so much fun. There was never a moment that felt awkward or unnatural. Michelle is professional while being welcoming, warm, and comforting. The photos turned out absolutely stunning. I am obsessed with our photos. When you require a photographer look no further than Michelle. She is knowledgeable, knows how to capture the moment, her quality of work is immaculate. Her work shows how much love is put into each photo she shoots. I cannot wait for her to shoot our wedding in less than a year.

LOVE LOVE LOVE them! I went to Ascension Visionary Concepts for my maternity photo shoot and I was…read moretaken aback by the outstanding customer service and professionalism Timothy and Deanne (the photographers) exuded. I went to the shoot completely under prepared. I had no idea how to pose, what type of background I wanted, or what unique touch I wanted to add to make the photos my own. T&D had that completely handled for me (such a breath of fresh air :) They showed me a few different "maternity" poses and had 2 perfect locations already planned for me. Timothy is such a perfectionist in the perfect way. He really knew how to bring out the "Top Model" in my partner and me, who had no clue what to do with ourselves in pictures. The chemistry between Timothy and Deanne was amazing. It definitely rubbed off on us and made our pictures even more beautiful. They are so friendly and the quality of work they give you is just wonderful. I highly recommend them and look forward to working with them again!

Paul at Living in the Buff is one of the best people I have met in life. He is kind, friendly, and…read morewilling to help out whenever called upon. Those qualities and more shine through in his photography. His professionalism and ability to crack a joke to get a toddler to look at a camera and smile cannot be understated. We wanted a quick little session for some family photos when my son was around 1.5 years old. The weather was starting to warm up and we wanted to capture some actual photos of us all that weren't taken with an iPhone. Paul and I set up a quick session for a day/time that worked well with weather and found a nice spot to meet up for photos. I did say my son was 1.5 years old right? So he was not thrilled about sitting still for photos. Paul's ability to grab candid shots, entertain a toddler, and even make the impossible task of capturing a rambunctious toddler on camera happen almost seamlessly. My wife was so blown away with the photos Paul took, she immediately told me we will have to go back and have another session when our son is a bit older. (Plus we have to bring the dog in too) Paul will not only capture the perfect photo for you, but the work he will do to make you feel comfortable, camera ready, and deliver a great product is unmatched. I recommend checking out Living in the Buff for any of your video or photography needs.

I've seen him at many events over the years and been photographed by him on numerous occasions. His attention to detail speaks volumes. I also follow him on his social media- he is quick to get back to his clients and turn-around time for photos doesn't take long at all. I don't give out 5 stars often so I hope that speaks for itself. I'd recommend him, hands down, for any of your photography needs!
