He immediately put me at my ease and made the entire process fun, helping me move from slightly awkward embarrassment at being photographed in my underpants to laughing and having a great time. And when I received the photos he'd taken, I was blown away. I've never seen myself as so sexy, confident, and comfortable in my own skin. His photography really changed how I see myself, and I'm so happy with the results. I get compliments on my photos often, but more importantly, if I'm ever having a bad self esteem day I can look at Devlin's shots and remember that actually, I'm fabulous!

We were so lucky to find Devlin to be our wedding photographer. He captured the day beautifully!…read more His phots compositions were both imaginative and intimate. The perfect combo of how a wedding photographer should capture the memories of this special day. His pricing was very reasonable for a wedding photographer and he is incredibly easy to work with. As a side note: Last year I took an iPhone photography class at an Apple flagship store. Devlin taught some basic concepts that elevated the photos I take with my iPhone from snapshots to photography.

Completely Unusable Video - Out of Sync and Horrible Framing…read more I hired Michael Bruner of Brogan Video for a professional live music video shoot at the Pleasanton Fairgrounds. Despite paying a premium rate of $750 and providing more than seven explicit visual examples prior to the shoot showing exactly how the live performance needed to be captured, the footage is completely a disaster. First, the vocals are not in sync with my lips moving. Second, the entire 30+ minute set was filmed exclusively from either the waist up or the knees up. Third, he filmed from the bottom up, creating completely unacceptable angles. For a professional live music performance, this amateur work leaves me with zero usable material for promotional or professional use. I also requested examples of his work for the Ruff Stock Band prior to the shoot, which were never provided. I attempted to resolve this privately by offering a partial refund request to fairly compensate for his travel and time ($150 kept, $600 requested back), but did not receive an acceptable resolution. Do not hire Brogan Video for professional live events.

We used Michael with Brogan Video for our wedding 3 years ago. My husband was reluctant to get a…read morevideographer but my parents and I were adamant about getting a video. THE BEST DECISION WE MADE FOR THE WEDDING!! Michael and his brother, Joe, were so amazing and comforting and supportive! We were nervous about sitting down and talking to the camera but they made it a conversation and didn't even have us look at the camera making it easier. Our video! Words cannot express how the video captured everything- the emotion, the memories, the fun! Ugh, we just celebrated our anniversary and watched our video! I have literally cried every time I've watched it. Michael did a fantastic job on the video and on the day! He has nothing but respect and kindness in his heart!!! I cannot thank you enough Michael for all your hard work and your amazingness!! Thank you to Joe as well!! Hope you both had a wonderful night!!! On top of all the awesome, he created a five minute clip that I could store and show to friends. Ugh! So amazing!

She also helped with my husband's boutonniere and was fun to work with. I'm giving 4 starts because it took a while for the photos to get to us, and Danyelle wasn't super communicative during this time. However, I'm happy with the final product!

I cannot recommend Danyelle. We purchased a package for engagement photos, wedding photos with a…read more2nd shooter, and an album. I will say that Danyelle was flexible with rescheduling our wedding due to COVID, however, we did not have a 2nd shooter on our wedding day and getting the album was a horrible process. I had to endlessly nag and reach out to Danyelle to even get the album. When we finally received it, it was 1.5 years after our wedding (Dec 2023) and was the wrong color. Because it took so long to get Danyelle had promised us a free gift with the album to make it up to us, but we never received anything. When I notified her it was the wrong color, she promise to fix it. It has now been another additional year of me nagging her with promises to get it fixed and nothing in return. I am beyond frustrated and disappointed to the point that sometimes even looking at my wedding photos makes me upset.

The wedding photos were BEYOND beautiful! And I had peace of mind the entire day that all would go according to plan. The photos were gorgeous and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. Curtis truly has an eye for photography and finding the perfect shot. His hard work did not go unnoticed and we're extremely grateful and blessed to have had him as an integral part of our day. I wish him nothing but the best going forward.

We found Curtis through a friend of ours that has used him for several different photo sessions…read more We did a lot of research on photographers and were very nervous about choosing the right one for our wedding. Curtis suggested that we meet with him and take a look at his work and packages. We looked online and also went into his studio space and saw his albums. We loved his work. Curtis was very professional. From the beginning he told us of all the options we had for payment as well as the services he provided. Curtis can not only do very small events but also very large scale elaborate events. I am very organized and appreciated that Curtis took the time to ask all the right questions and ensured that he knew exactly what we wanted. He knew where to be, at what time to be there, and what to bring. He guided us through much of the process and ensured that we were prepared prior to our big day. Curtis was always there to answer all my questions. He was an email away and always answered in a timely manner. We got married at the end of September at 6 p.m. Needless to say we had very little time left with good lighting and it was very windy outside. Curtis did an amazing job with our pictures. He was able to handle all the crazy personalities we had at our event. He catered to us the entire night to ensure all of our family was able to get the pictures that they wanted. Curtis created a large picture for us that we used for our guests to sign (we used it as our guest book) that was absolutely beautiful. He got us several edited shots just days after our wedding and even edited a shot that I wanted to send to my family a week later. He was amazing! We will be using him for our Christmas pictures as well as future events. If you want to someone to help relieve some of the stress of your wedding planning, choose Curtis. You will not have to worry about your pictures. From the bottom of a stressed out brides heart, THANK YOU, CURTIS!

I highly recommend Eugene.

Not only is he…read morea thorough professional and a awesome photographer, he is also calm, thoughtful and very easy to work with. He showed up before time, and we ran late by 10 mins, he still greeted us with a smile and spent the full hour with us. He showed up with two professional cameras and many lenses. Being into photography myself, I can say that his equipment was excellent. He had great ideas on poses and locations, and the shoot was very natural and fun for both my wife and me. Pre and post photoshoot, he was very responsive on both email and phone. He delivered the link with photos only a few days after the photoshoot. The process of getting the photographs was quite simple. All in all, a great experience. We look forward to engaging Eugene in future photoshoots. Thanks Eugene!

** high quality service** high ends equipments**exceptional results!!!…read more Finally; I've been wanting to do a review on this for awhile. back in early and toward the end of 2019 Had two photo sessions with Mellissa, both times I had so much fun. If I could go out to space and collected all stars and bring them back to give for this review I would but yelp max limit 5 stars only! Hahah anyways the whole experience was overall pleasing and I am very happy so many turn out as favorites.. I had hard time picking and choose I just want them all !!! Melissa is knowledgeable and She made the whole experience so smooth especially directing my poses and even gave me advice on outfits to choose according to the themes that I wanted. she know exactly what I want and she captured that moments. I will be going to her all my professional portrait needs. Yelpers I highly recommend for those who are camera shy or whatever your challenges are that kept you from getting personal still live portrait; let Mellissa brings out that moment of you so you can keep and show them off to your grandchildren and great grandchildren or 1000 years from now it might be discovered by alien archeologists.
