My husband and I are the most unromantic couple and we were originally going to a courthouse to call it a day but decided to have a very small wedding (10 people) as a gift to our parents. I was not very enthusiastic about the wedding but knew I wanted photos. When we met up with Glenn, he was extremely punctual with time and came prepared with information. He is very nice and has the warmest personality. He basically became my hype-man that I didn't know I needed and actually made me excited about my own wedding (seriously). I basically asked for him to show up at the wedding to snap a few photos but he suggested an engagement session and to show up at my house on my wedding day to take some getting ready photos, which I didn't think I needed lol but happy he suggested it cause I love the pictures he took! We scheduled an engagement session with him and communicated with him via email pertaining to our wedding schedule. I'm just so happy with the photos from the engagement and wedding! He basically captured very sweet and warm photos that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

The engagement shoot worked out well and we got the photos after about a week for our Save the Dates. He worked with us and made sure we got exactly the photos we wanted. The same goes for the wedding date. He was very easy and a pleasure to work with. We was also very responsive to any questions we had. We highly recommend Glenn for any photography needs!

Both of our mothers (and our grandma) literally cried when they received his prints as Christmas presents this year. If that's not a ringing endorsement, I don't know what is. John is not only immensely talented, he also goes above and beyond. By the end of our time with him, he felt like more of a wedding guest than our photographer. He takes the time to get to know you, joining us on a camping trip to Joshua Tree before the big day and taking some epic engagement shots. On the day of our wedding, he melted into the background when we needed him to, and led us by the hand when we asked him to. The results of his efforts were a series of candid, loving photographs that get the closest to what we feel like as a couple as I think is possible. Thank you, John. The next time we have something to celebrate, we'll be calling.

Once the pictures were posted to social media we have so many wonderful comments on our 'magazine worthy' photos. He was able to captured our perfect day and I am so grateful I found him! I have nothing but rave reviews and we will continue to use Betwixt for future family photos. Do yourself a favor, and check this guy out-Reese rocks!

Very unprofessional…read more I set up a consultation based on my wedding date being available. They set up an appointment, pushed me back a week for some reason and then gave my desired wedding date to someone else before even meeting with me. I would think first come first serve. Instead its more like 'you're good enough if nobody else comes along in the meantime'. Fortunately for me, I had already decided on True Photography which is in a class of their own and all worked out, but had I not, I would have been left high and dry. I dodged a bullet I guess. Phew....good luck brides.

He knew what shots to get as well as how and where to get them. Sure, we could've had a half cousin's friend's photographer-girlfriend shoot our wedding. However we knew that photographs are important and they would be the one thing that we could look back on to remember our special wedding day. We were not disappointed and Taylor delivered more than we thought was possible. We had a small wedding during COVID but he still managed to transport to the perfect locations to get the best shots. Taylor was always very personable and ensured that the focus was on our experience during our special day. We really appreciated that about him as he didn't pull us away from everything we were doing to "pose" for a picture. He allowed us to enjoy our special day and he was where he needed to be to properly capture everything we did during our special day. It was refreshing to have such a natural experience. We are so happy with our pictures and look forward to showing them to our kids and grandkids in the future. Thanks to Taylor we have timeless photos that we will always be able to look back on.

By the end of the night we didn't want him to leave-- he was part of the family. And the photos were magical-- he really captured the essence of our guests and of us. We will treasure these photos forever. Everything we asked for he delivered on, no problem. Best of all, he was so calming. It helps to have someone mellow (but very effective) when you're trying to herd all of your family through photos. I highly recommend Taylor and hope to work with him again in the future!

Seriously cannot believe how amazing our pictures turned out. The day of our wedding also he was on top of everything! Our whole bridal party was amazed with James' passion for capturing amazing photos! And his communication is definitely on point! You're not left in the dark wondering what's going on with your pictures. He constantly keeps you updated! If you're iffy on hiring him I say JUST DO IT! He's amazing and I promise, you won't be disappointed

He was extremely patient, always answering my millions of questions, and was very communicative making sure that I felt comfortable and had all my answers. What I really appreciated in the weeks before the wedding was that he drove an hour to scope out our venue with my groom and me so we had an idea of what to expect. James calm and confident attitude eased any photography stress a bride would have. During the big day James did an amazing job capturing all the big moments. He was discreet and methodical in his approach. I gave James a list of all the photos that we wanted, group shots, family shots, exc.. and he capture them all. And when I needed him to take a spur of the moment photo, he was there ready to shoot. He made sure that we got all the shoots we wanted before the night ended. One of the best experiences with James was the speed at which we receiving all the photos on CDs. And I loved that he gave us all the large quality files, they are mine to keep and do what I want with. I did not have to sieve through thousands of proofs... I was able to get my photos printed on my own and share them with friends and family immediately!! James gave us amazing photographs that just summed up our wedding day. He truly has a talent for capturing the people, the place, and moment.

I first started looking into getting a photographer for the proposal around 2 months ago right from the get-go after contacting Zariah she was incredibly personable, friendly and professional. I could tell she was interested in making this memorable for us. She actually even met me a few weeks prior to the proposal to do a dry-run through the garden and we picked out the best spots for pictures and where she would be sneakily hiding when I popped the question. The day of I was nervous, but everything turned out as we planned! The pictures turned out wonderfully and we had such a great time taking photos with Zariah. I highly recommend Zariah.

We feel so lucky to have found Carlo as our wedding photographer. He was extremely responsive with…read moreall of our communication, and was very reasonable with pricing and flexibility. Carlo makes you feel at ease during the photoshoot, and there is never any awkward forced posing. He has a huge talent for taking natural, unstaged photos and capturing you at your best moments. We were extremely happy with how the final edits turned out and literally want to share every single one of them. Our friends were also so pleased with our wedding photos, that they immediately booked him as well for their wedding next year. Overall, Carlo is an extremely wonderful person to work with and I will definitely be booking him again for future family portraits/life events. My entire experience was 5 stars all the way, and I highly recommend Carlo Aranda Photography for any event coverage needs!

Now we can look back and say that we are a photogenic couple (while all our personal photos tell us otherwise!). Carlo brings his A-game all the time, every time. He first showed game when we were booking him. We had decided to elope for many reasons, and one of them was the inability to set a concrete date. In fact, we had to cancel and re-book Carlo all in the same week (which he handled with incredible grace). When interviewing him, he emphasized how he likes to tell a story with his photography and he doesn't find himself drawn to fake poses. I was first concerned because all natural can be, well, too raw sometimes. However, his portfolio looked amazing and spoke for itself. It was one of the best I've seen from the photographers recommended to us. We decided we had to book him, and boy were we pleased. At the elopement he brought not only tasteful, masterful skills but also his personality. The guy could be a comedian if he wasn't so enraptured with his camera. Everything flew seamlessly on our day. He made sure we were having fun, staying upbeat, and just enjoying our moments together. We wanted to walk around Balboa Park and he brought us to our favorite spots and also to gorgeous places we didn't think of before. He researches everything and adds excitement to the process with innovative ideas for us to play with. If you want someone who is on top of his work, meets deadlines, brings calm in the middle of chaos, Carlo is your man!

The photos they gave us were stunning. It's so hard to choose just one or two to print on canvas because they are all so amazing. The video was great as well. We didn't have to give them too much direction and they produced an awesome video that we will treasure forever. They were very accommodating and flexible with us. There were some specific photos and video moments that I requested and I also really wanted to use smoke bombs and they were great at making it work. Their pricing is extremely competitive and the value you get is unheard of. I know many engaged couples get scared off from having a wedding videographer because they are extremely expensive, but trust me, these guys will more than likely fit your budget and in 10 years when you watch the video, you will be glad you did. I cannot recommend Ian Harrington Productions more. We loved working with Ian, Adam, Matt and Manny and will be recommending them to all of our engaged friends.

I worked with Ian directly on the contract and pricing for our wedding. Believe me, for the service they provide, you won't find anyone else in this price rage. Not only was Ian affordable, but his professionalism and friendliness set him far above the rest of the competition. I was really impressed when Ian checked in with me 1 month prior to our wedding and offered to meet us on site at our venue. During this meeting, he explained the videography process and day of timeline and helped select some beautiful locations for footage. This really helped us get to know him and feel more comfortable on the actual wedding day when there are a million other things to worry about. We really appreciate this! When wedding day came around, Ian and his team showed up on time, dressed professionally (unlike some of our other vendors), and with positive attitudes! They did an excellent job of keeping us on our timeline and capturing all the important moments incognito. Not only was Ian and his entire team easy to work with, the highlight film of our wedding was more beautiful that I could have imagined! I cried happy tears throughout the whole film! They captured so many touching moments and highlights from our wedding day, and now we have these memories to look back on forever. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
