Jason & Hilary are fantastic. And you should absolutely use them to capture a special day…read more We used Jason for our wedding and engagement photography. We told them that photography was our second priority for the whole wedding (behind venue). We wanted our photos to capture the moments our memories would fade. We wanted them to capture the guests' emotions, the secret moments we shared between all the craziness of our wedding, and we wanted our photos to capture our personalities so that it didn't feel staged, but felt authentic to our relationship. And they delivered. We are so, so happy with our wedding and engagement photos on the beach! Hilary was super helpful on the day - she helped me (Bride) put earrings in because my nails were too long. She helped the boys place their ties in the right spot. She held my dress while we walked so it didn't get all dirty. She was able to predict little needs we all had before we even knew we needed them. Hilary is amazing. Jason is such a magnificent photographer. He loves to capture the world happening around a couple - the trees, the water, the mountains. If you want to feel like you're a lucky human dropped in the middle of a stunning landscape painting, he is your photographer. Also, we got all of our photos so promptly. They were edited beautifully. Jason doesn't over edit and make it feel ridiculous. He left the little realities of me and my husband that make us... Us. And I love that. We'll find a reason to rehire Jason again in the future. And we think you should, too.

We would strongly recommend not hiring Jason Berry Photography. We hired this vendor for our…read morewedding, and we had a negative experience both in terms of the photography product we received and also in terms of the vendor's unprofessional conduct towards us as clients. We were initially most excited for Jason Berry amongst all our vendors, but there were a number of issues, incidents and disappointments. In terms of product, we were displeased with our gallery. His skill is obvious and other albums gorgeous, so we were frustrated and upset to see less than five bridal portrait shots, and all taken in a messy area, in addition to other missing or poor photos. He circulated a survey to us before the wedding, and we identified exactly the kinds of photos we wanted, among other preferences. We selected the "Wedding Collection 3" package for $3200, with 8 hours with two photographers, and we requested the advertised 10% off from the Wedding Wire discount. Part of the package included a "Wedding day timeline and engagement session consultation," yet the photographer was unresponsive and only available to consult while we were driving to Rehearsal Dinner two days beforehand. We exchanged an engagement shoot typically required in the package, and included one extra hour the day-of where we hoped would accommodate for more time to take portrait shots, especially since we explicitly planned the reception to be a five-minute drive from the church. But many photos were un-usable in terms of blinking, looking away, etc. At the reception, he promised us sneak peaks in the next few days. We were excited. We reached out to him a few days after the wedding, but he told us he was unavailable to provide us with sneak peaks that week due to personal commitments. He made us feel like a nag, yet it's the vendor's responsibility to communicate a change in expectation. We later checked instagram and noticed he'd posted photos of us but didn't share or tag us (even though we shared this info in the survey). This leads into our experience with his professional conduct and customer service, which was upsetting and insulting. Out of excitement, we agreed in advance to purchase an album for $850, but based on the issues above, we requested a refund over a phone call. We simply did not have enough of a variety of usable photos in the gallery to provide a selection to him to create an album. (He also initiated but never followed up on scheduling a meeting where we could go through the photos together when he initially shared the album with us.) Jason refused, and he complained it was due to my wife's church's "shitty lighting." Again, the premises were large, he had time to check out the lighting beforehand and come up with the game plan. We suggested beforehand to take portraits at the reception venue, which he said wouldn't be necessary. So, he offered to have us choose "a few frames and canvases" instead of the album. Yet when we did from his website, earnestly spending a great deal of time picking out an equal value of frames and canvases, he chastised us for choosing too many. He provided no guidelines, so we assumed we could choose a selection equal to the price of the album (850). He became very aggressive and confrontational and still chose not to provide us with any direction (e.g. product dimensions) besides sending over 2 file names. We would urge prospective clients to avoid Jason Berry Photography. We did not receive the services paid for or expected, nor were we treated with respect. A photographer could preserve life's most precious occasions. Regrettably, our experience made this occasion more stressful, painful and very frustrating. While it's difficult to write a poor review of a wedding vendor, we feel obligated to share our experience.

I shot with Peter Hurley in NYC about 2 years ago and came out to LA in August of 2010 with his…read moreheadshots. I signed with a manager for one year and a commercial agency for both commercials and print. In about 5 or 6 weeks I booked two national commercials! Then my management thought I should shoot more photos and start working with their photographer to get the "LA look." Lets just say I didn't book for a least 6 months with this "LA photographers photos." I was getting called in for a 45 year old librarian. Definitely not my casting and 15 years off! So I dropped my management and started using peter's photos again. I've booked another commercial and been on hold for 3 print ads and tons of callbacks! He's terrific and worth every penny! I just finished my second session with him and I will never go to another photographer.

If you want the rolls royce of headshots this is where you go! I've shot with Peter 3 times by now…read moreand he is by far the best photographer I know...and trust me this is coming from someone who works with actors everyday at an acting school and I see hundreds of horrible headshots, that they pay over $600-$700 for! What a waste! Peter has an incredible personality, and will without a doubt get the best out of you. He gives incredible direction, makes you laugh in the process, and makes sure you don't have one bad picture. He's not one of those photographers that will click away and hope that out of a thousand pictures you'll have a good one in there somewhere. He refuses to shoot if the shot will not be phenomenal. I recommend Peter ten times over, if you as an actor know this is a business and your picture is your business card then shooting with Peter is a no brainer investment!

I got connect with Iain through a mutual friend on Instagram and his response time was immediate…read moreand I knew right away that he was someone I wanted to work with. Of course it did help that he also loves cats and has a couple dogs. I was glad to find someone who was still hustling and working especially in the midst of Covid. I was able to book an appointment pretty seamlessly and bring in my own MUA the day of. On the day, I was very anxious and nervous because as comfortable as I am in front of a moving camera, for still photos and headshot, I am a deer in headlights. However, Iain is VERY chill and he brings a certain energy and comfortability that helped me to ease out of my awkwardness and get into different characters for my different looks. Within 2 hours, I was able to get 7 different looks and outfit changes which left me with a pool of headshots to choose from. His turnaround time for photos is very quick. I received my raw images at the end of the day. After I selected a few headshots that I wanted retouched, he sent back the edited versions the very next day. The man is quick! FYI: Iain's little studio is in his garage beneath his house in Hollywood. *If you plan on booking with Iain, I highly recommend arriving early as parking can be scarce.**

Iain from IPFM created the best headshots experience I've ever had, and the amount of brilliant…read moreheadshots from the session was quite staggering. As a Headshot Photographer, he really knows exactly how to achieve the industry standards, and the kinds of shots that are going to get you in the room auditioning with casting directors. A lot of what makes his shots standout comes from his first hand experience of being infront of the camera and a working actor. I've done many many headshot sessions before, but Iain brought tricks and methods that I've never seen anyone bring into the studio. He's also very relaxed and creative which certainly helps bring out your most 'real' version of yourself. Cant recommend this unique service highly enough.

Just got my graduation photos from Hiéusz yesterday and I really could not be any happier! I was…read morenervous about taking them because sometimes i can be awkward, but Hiéusz does a great job at making you feel comfortable/natural in the picture-taking process (which i was very thankful for). He helped me figure out poses to do around my campus and even brought confetti for me to use for the shoot. He was super accommodating and spent extra time with me just to make sure he took enough shots! Professional, personable, and funny. 100% would recommend to anyone out there who's looking for someone reasonably priced, but can get the job done.

Asgeir Bollason with Asgeir Fotographica is the BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER and here is why...... Asgeir's photos are crisp, clear, artistic and Asgeir has an incredible way of blending in with the crowd and being non obtrusive and yet he is able to truly capture the "moment" in every photo he takes. Such a wonderful talent he is! I hired Asgeir to take photos of a huge event I hosted in June 2021. Prior to the day of my event, Asgeir was very responsive to me, he listened to me and he was clear and concise as to he could do for me. He communicated very well. Asgeir took some photos of my family prior to the event and I have to tell you......THESE PHOTOS ALONE were well worth it. They say a picture is worth a thousand words....well, as long as Asgeit takes the photos, then yes it is. Asgeir is a true artist. So, if you are serious about hiring the best, then hire Asgeir Fotographica....there is NO ONE better!

My (then future) in-laws had presented my (then future) husband and I a list of about 20 wedding…read morephotographers and it came down to Asgeir. We didn't want anything too cheesy, but just wanted a photographer to capture more of the emotional moments on our special day (as well as some grouped family photos). We had a guest list of about 70 people on Saturday and a guest list of about 200 on Sunday and Asgeir did a phenomenal job on both! The Sunday wedding reception was held in a Vietnamese Banquet Hall in Westminster, CA. It was about 85 degrees that day and my parents wanted basically an hour of pictures before the reception began with family (like 100 people). Asgeir was such a great sport and although probably tired from our wedding ceremony the day before, he did yet another fantastic job on the pictures. He sent us preview pics about two weeks after our wedding (while we were still on our honeymoon, actually). And then we got the pictures back via Dropbox about two months later. TWO MONTHS! My sister had gotten married a year before us and my husband and I received ours before her. I feel like because he's just so good of a photographer, he didn't really need to photoshop any of our pictures. My husband and I definitely recommend Asgeir and hope that when we have children, he can take pictures of them as well! He's just so calm and mellow. It was a real pleasure to work with him!
