George and Sam are just wonderful human beings and amazing wedding photographers!…read more We had an opportunity to collaborate on a styled wedding photo shoot back in November of 2019. They knew exactly what style of photos they wanted. They even collaborated with a make up artist and a florist to make this a special day. We decided on choosing Vivian Creek in Forest Falls as our venue for the photo shoot. An amazing location for that woodland/foresty vibe that they were looking for. They were such natural at posing! I have met quite a few photographers and they are certainly great at what they do but what sets them apart is their duty to their client. They will go above and beyond for their clients. They have my 100% recommendation if you are looking for an elopement/wedding photographer!

We won an Elopement giveaway at the beginning of the year, and we feel so thankful that they were able to capture our amazing day ! We wanted REALLY dark and moody photos, and that is exactly their style ! We chased the sun ( as much as we could, it was a rather cloudy day ), did some adventuring, George even climbed a tree to get some fun photos. Highly recommend them to ANYONE who wants super dark and moody photos, George and Sam are your people !

We found Jason's work on Wedding Wire and then browsed his portfolio on his website and Instagram. We met up for coffee to get more info and were really liked his calm, reassuring personality. His prices were within our budget and very reasonable. Jason's eye for light was the biggest draw for me - you gotta love those golden hour pics! In November of 2019 we booked an engagement session with Jason and we couldn't have been more impressed. When our original plans of shooting at a park fell through, Jason suggested the LA Arboretum instead. We spent a few hours there with him and it was a really fun, laid back time. He made us laugh and kept it comfortable. We were so thrilled when we got the pictures back; we knew we'd made the right choice for our wedding photographer. Fast-forward almost a year to 2020. Covid19 hit and we weren't sure if we were going to be able to hold our small, 30 person wedding. We decide to scale it down to a micro-wedding with just family - 11 people total. Jason was super flexible and encouraging. It was particularly important to us to capture the day with photos to share with our family and friends who wouldn't be there / couldn't make it. Jason showed up on time, was professional and engaging, worked well with our other vendors, and took some stunning pictures. We liked working with him so much we recommended him to our friends for a maternity shoot! We would not hesitate to reach out to him in the future and would recommend him to anyone looking for a great wedding photographer.

Misti was very nice and professional when it came to the planning and showing up for the wedding…read more She took pictures with nice views and distances. Problem was that we discussed prior to the signing of the contract that we would like to have our pictures edited a certain way. More dark and cool, not so shaded and tan/warms. We wanted this cause it would look beautiful with the dark trees of the forest as well as my dark hair against my pale skin. I also didn't want my skin blending into my ivory dress. We gave her 3 example pictures of how we would like it as well. She agreed on many occasions that it would be okay. We also verified with her on the DAY OF our wedding that it would be done that way and she assured us. When we received our pictures 3 weeks later, NONE of them were as discussed and when we told her what we discussed she then deleted ALL of our pictures (about 150-200) from the link and only re-edited about 15 of them to the picture editing we discussed. Not to mention they were done very quickly and just looked really bad. My face looked dark. I was able to download most of them before she deleted them from the link but it's more so a disappointment because it was not what we disused and we can't get this day back. This was suppose to be a really BIG SPECIAL time in our lives. I live with this sadness now. So disappointed. Edit: I have attached our email correspondence and the 3 pictures we asked for the editing to look like and she agreed she could do BEFORE we signed the contract. I also attached the photos she took and edited. Her editing style is pretty, yes but it's the fact that it's not what we all discussed and agreed upon. We were under the impression of at least receiving 50-50 her style and the style we discussed but that's not what happened. At the end of the day my husband and I decided to just take what we got and move forward because it's not like anything will change and there are 2 sides to every story. This review is written because we are hurt and disappointed but it is what it is.

Misti is a lifestyle photographer. Our posed pictures are great, but the photos of us just being silly and enjoying the lake/forest together are so beautiful. She really captured my families love and happiness. It wasn't easy getting our 8 month old to look and smile at the camera, but she was very patient and worked around us. She got tons of great shots. Although she's busy, she still gets your photos to you quickly. For me personally, she does the right amount of editing and filtering. All the photos were cropped perfectly as well (I'm very particular). She truly is an amazing photographer/artist. Our photo shoot with Misti was worth the drive up to the mountains. She's super affordable and worth every penny. She really made my vision come to life and I will cherish our first family photos forever! I would definitely book her in the future for all my family's photos.
