We took our family photos with our Australian Shepherd and Kim was patient with Lola and it put us at ease so we didn't stress that Lola wasn't paying attention to everything around her except the camera. Squirrel!! If you want a photographer who will make a photo session go smooth and stress free no matter how small or big your family is (even if your pup is distracted by a bug) then Kim is perfect to capture the memories and moments you'll cherish forever. Photographs are a way of freezing in time a milestone or family memories so we can look back & remember how important capturing those special moments & memories forever, for that I'm so glad we chose Kim to be part of our journey! Thank you Kim! ~The Kolset Family & Lola

From communication prior to booking, during the event and the final product, I was thoroughly impressed by Brittany and Connor's professionalism. Connor was hilarious and really connected with the teens and the guests. He got specific shots I had requested and kept me on a timeline to make sure I would get the best pictures. His work was amazing! Super quick turn around too. I look forward to working with them again.

We've had the pleasure of working with Brittany three times now, and those experiences have been…read moreabsolutely wonderful! Booking is simple and straightforward through their website. We follow their instagram for updates on available sessions and new locations :) Both Connor and Brittany have excellent communication! They always reach out with detailed emails and texts of expectations, weather changes/updates, and important info for our shoots. They're responsive, clear, and make the whole process seamless. From start to finish, everything felt easy, relaxed, and enjoyable. Brittany has a natural way of making us comfortable during the shoot and provides great feedback. They offer a great selection of outdoor locations with beautiful backgrounds and lighting! Another thing we really appreciated was how quickly the photos were delivered each time. We received a link to a photo gallery, and got to choose our favorites from those. The turnaround time was just a few days! We're so grateful for their talent and professionalism, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for stunning, heartfelt photos!

From the short time I was there, they were capturing every moment and angle with intention and creativity. Drexelle offered ideas as they saw fit, and looked for ways to make each shot even better. Not only were they professional, but they were also just pure and kind humans, and so enjoyable to be around! We had little pockets of conversation throughout the event, and each interaction was so easy and effortless. They definitely brought great energy to the celebration. I'd love to work alongside D.

The other- plain and simply, high caliber of professionalism, authenticity, and warmth that I've had the pleasure to experience after hiring KLK to work their magic for my engagement and wedding photos at The Ritz Carlton, Laguna Niguel, this past July. Firstly, my fiancé is not a fan of taking any kind of photos (downright hates the mere thought of it), but Paul changed that all for him during our short engagement and wedding photoshoot so that deserves an extra thank you, as I thought that was not possible. And to have many amazing photos to show for the least possible amount of time to shoot is nothing short of amazing, and illustrates the quality of output you would receive from KLK. Not only that, Kristi and Paul are the cutest, most down to earth and friendliest people you'll meet in the industry. We have only received our wedding teasers to date, and they were all outstanding. Can't wait to see the rest of the wedding images which KLK has communicated will complete in the next week or so - we also purchased a custom wedding photo book which we are very excited about! We can't recommend KLK enough and truly made the best choice picking them as our wedding photographers-- simply one of a kind!

Original Review: I have waited a long time to post this…read morereview as I was still trying to resolve things, but unfortunately neither my wife nor I are ever able to reach Mike, it always goes to voicemail (and the number listed here is not in service). Mike did our wedding over two years ago in August of 2022, and to date we still have not received a final copy of our wedding video. We paid extra for multiple events, in total it was about 15k, and we feel like we made a mistake because we can't revisit the day. Mike did send us the draft video relatively quickly after the wedding, and to date this is the only copy we have. We requested relatively simple edits but never received anything since then and are just unable to reach Mike despite leaving many messages and sending many texts. At this point I don't even care about the edits, just please send us the high quality versions of our videos so we can watch them on our TV, and I will revise this review. 2025 Update: After posting my review, Mike finally reached back out to me and was able to send me a high res copy of our video, along with our requested edits. I've updated this review accordingly. The quality of photography and video done by Mood Photo is definitely great, but obviously communication was very challenging throughout.

We had multiple meetings prior to the wedding, and every time, he was prepared, attentive, and truly on top of every detail. He answered all of our questions, offered helpful guidance, and made sure nothing was overlooked, which gave us complete confidence and peace of mind going into such an important day. On the wedding day itself, he and his team exceeded every expectation. They were calm, positive, and incredibly easy to work with, which made the entire day feel enjoyable and stress-free. They knew exactly where to be, what moments to capture, and how to keep everything flowing smoothly without ever feeling intrusive. Their energy made a huge difference, and they helped make the day feel even more special and memorable. The quality of their work is truly outstanding. Their editing skills are amazing, and the final photos and videos perfectly captured the emotions, beauty, and excitement of our wedding day. Every detail, big and small, was handled with care, and the end results were beyond what we could have imagined. Looking back at our photos and videos brings us right back to those moments, which is something we will cherish forever. Beyond their talent, what truly sets them apart is who they are as people. They are honest, kind-hearted, and genuinely care about their clients and their work. It is rare to find a team that is this skilled, professional, and compassionate all at once. Without a doubt, they are the best photographers and videographers we have ever worked with, and we feel incredibly grateful to have had them as part of our wedding day. We would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an exceptional team to capture their most important moments.
