Jose and Cynthia drove out to Marathon key last minute to do a photo shoot for us today. We are at…read morethe Faro Blanco resort ( Hilton curio) and they were very kind to accommodate us last minute and drive all the way out ( for a fee) for our maternity shoot. I was definitely a little nervous going into the shoot, not knowing what the expect and the weather was a little windy too. We were also not familiar with the resort yet to know what were some good photo ops etc. Jose and Cynthia made us feel at ease right from the get go - they were somewhat familiar with the area and were quickly able to scope out and arrange for great photos. Jose did a lot of work behind the lens while Cynthia sweetly directed us, while also taking some very specific stylized pictures. We did at least 5-6 different spots at the resort, with clear and easy direction from Cynthia. They continued to show us their work on camera as we went through the shoot, chatting and joking with us, making us feel at ease. Their composition skills for photos are excellent, with a keen eye on lighting, props etc. I obviously haven't seen the final product yet, but given our excellent experience with the couple, I would highly recommend them. What we saw of photos on their camera, I have no doubts the photos will turn out good. Their service definitely comes at a premium price, but I think it's totally worth it

The search is over, you found the best photographers ! I…read morewas looking for photographers in the area when I found them on the internet, after reading reviews online I decided to contact them . I proceed with booking them for the following reasons : - Very professional & communicative via text messages - Multiple packages/pricing options to fit our needs & budgets - Extremely accommodating with our busy schedule and desired location The day of the photo shoot , other than being (and i quote my kids) : " a really nice couple " . - They made us feel comfortable - They made it fun and dynamic - Loved their patience when dealing with the kids and our crazy dog - They switched us to multiple locations, suggested poses , worked with us finding the best lighting & scene & checked with me during the process After the photo shoot : -They responded to my questions about updates in the process -The waiting period was 7 business days, as promised The only request I had was: make sure that out of all the pictures we get one good family portrait where the dog isn't looking crazy and the kids look decent ( might sound like a simple thing but trust me others photographers have failed miserably at this ). Villas Channel delivered ! I got more than one good portrait , I got the best family photos hoot we have had !

Carlos and the team take the time to get to know you as they truly pride themselves on their customer service. Setting the expectations from the first call, providing timelines, setting future dates, exploring photos and video options - they genuinely invest the time in YOU. By the end of the call, you feel relaxed because you know you're in great hands. I had asked Carlos to capture the moments rather than staging photos, best decision! Their attention to detail and knowledge are worth every penny. Trust me - they are incredible. We used Carlos for the photo and video :)

I could not be happier with my decision to hire Jose and Jess! One of the most important thing for…read moreus was to have a really great photographer, and so I did a lot of research into the photographers. From the first moment to the last, working with La Vie was an outstanding experience. -First, the actual reasons we hired them---the photos! I loved the style of the team from the get go. Jose and Jess capture the most important moments, but they also take candid shots that speak volumes about the day---more than any portrait could. The photos are also beautiful, in an artistic and journalistic style that I loved. Technically La Vie also knows what they are doing---after looking at countless photographers, La Vie were the only ones who captured even low light photos with grace. We got some gorgeous pics back and I am so happy with the result. -Second, professionalism - The team are true professionals. From the first to last moment, La Vie were super professional. I had a lot of questions throughout the process of hiring the photographer and Jose and Jess spent quite a bit of time answering my questions, always professionally and patiently. I also asked for certain things to be negotiated in the contract and Jose and Jess took all my requests seriously and respectfully. At the wedding they were on time and even stayed a little later as we had some problems that caused the wedding to be delayed. Everyone commented on what pros they were. -Third, fun attitude- This last one is less important. It wasn't on my list of requirements to work with a fun team. But Jose and Jess brand themselves as fun and creative---and they are. And it makes the whole process much more enjoyable. PS: So impressed was everyone with La Vie that my wedding planner put them on their list of preferred vendors after working with them on my wedding! Def recommend La Vie Studios for beautiful, artistic photos and a stress-free experience.

I hired Liam for a virtual wedding and he ruined the event. On August 15th, 2020, Liam's coworker…read morearrived at the venue to video the ceremony on zoom. He did not bring camera equipment instead set up a 9 inch iPad on a tripod. I supplied three videos to be played during the ceremony, the rest of the wedding was live interactions with the officiants. From the very beginning it was a complete disaster. The videographer recommended we start five minutes late to allow people to get in the waiting room, so we did. The first 15 minutes was a video I supplied Liam. for some reason, Liam's coworker muted the video and turned on the iPad's mic, so the guest listened to 15 minutes of idle conversation as the video played. When the ceremony begin, unmuted guests could be heard having conversations as the officiant tried to speak. Repeatedly, the officiant asked guests to mute their microphones. It never happened. Each time a guest made a noise the screen would go black and show the person's name and then would return to the ceremony. Liam was the host of the zoom function and should have had control of all microphones. He did nothing to silence the talking, as a result the service was lost to chatter and background noise. Liam also controlled entry into the wedding service. He left 40 guests in waiting room, none of which ever made it inside. 100% of the feedback was bad. The following day Liam sent me a copy of his work at the wedding and it was unwatchable. When I asked for a refund for services he certainly did not provide, he immediately edited the video and blamed everyone from the officiant, zoom, me and location for the disaster. He even stated had I purchased a more expensive video package from him the quality would have been better. When I asked if he would highlight my wedding on his website he said, "No". I'm aware a zoom event is never going to be the quality of a videotaped presentation. I knew that when I hired a "professional" videographer. What I didn't expect was getting someone who knew nothing about Zoom or virtual events. Liam started the event late, muted the videos, allowed guests to speak freely throughout the service and blocked 40 people from attending the wedding. He considers what he did , "good work"... I'd hate to see his bad work! I have attached a YouTube away to my wedding video made by Liam and you can decide for yourself. https://youtu.be/AjG_bpZL4us

LONG review, if you don't have time to get through it, just BOOK them NOW!…read more Review for: Wedding Photography by Liam Team: Photography: Liam Crotty and MJ; Video [conventional and drone]: Antonio Ceremony location: St. Bernard de Clairvaux, a.k.a. The Ancient Spanish Monastery Reception location: Fogo de Chao, South Beach Miami Services rendered: -Photography: ceremony venue, ceremony, guests, cocktail hour, group photos, bride + groom portraits, reception venue, arrival and cake cutting -Videography: [drone footage] of the venue, special bride + groom shots (worth it), [conventional video] ceremony coverage (2 angles), candid video footage used in highlight video, video snippets of the cocktail hour. Antonio is excellent, both at capturing and editing video. Deliverables: -USB with raw video footage (we paid a little extra for this, we feel it is important to add to our family archive). -On the same USB as above, all edited photos. -On the same USB as above, the highlight video (shot and edited by Antonio). Cost: very reasonable! Review, written by the bride: We were married in early August, and it has taken some time for us to find the adequate words to say "Thank you" via our review of their services to the Liam Crotty team for their exceptional coverage of our very special day. Our first contact was made several months before the wedding, and Liam was there on the phone with me making arrangements, confirming dates, locations and services personally. Of course, the Office Manager was instrumental as well, and made sure that we had everything we needed in place (with regards to photo and video) on our wedding day. There were detailed planning calls, to make sure that we knew what group photos we wanted, where we might want them at the venue, all the details. Liam's team made sure no question was left unanswered. Initially, we had booked one of the staff photographers and videographers, and at the last moment, we were told that Liam himself was available to capture our wedding day. We didn't think about it too much, we said "Yes!", paid the fee required to have Liam join us on our day, and waited for our day to arrive. Wedding Day: Marco arrived early to the Church, and MJ made quick and great work of getting some excellent shots of him before the ceremony. Two of our most cherished photographs of the day were of him and his Mother, and him and my Grandmother. MJ captured the venue details as well, beautifully. I didn't notice photographs being taken of me, or the videographer capturing the walk - that is how discreet the Team is. Only specific moments were paused, ever so momentarily, to capture really excellent shots (key shot, when exiting the Church, is stopping halfway down the aisle, with guests and everyone beaming, and having another kiss - this is a great shot, which we hadn't thought of, but now wouldn't want to live without!). During the cocktail hour, the group photos were handled by Liam - and again, the experience that he and his Team has, it really shone bright here. Liam kept me calm, all while capturing the (literally) dozens of group photographs which we required (it was an incredible list of around 50 group photos, with different permutations of the guests). Not only did he capture wonderful photos, he kept me calm! After the group photos, we went for a stroll, groom + me and Liam + Antonio, to capture portraits of us. They are a very creative team and if you engage their services, let them loose! We ended up with incredible shots of us + the venue - one of our favorite is the one under the gargantuan tree outside with the dark moss, and of course the drone footage of us walking the grounds. We had photography done at the reception (Fogo de Chao) as well, of the venue + cake cutting + candids. I am running out of space! Character limits are awful. Delivery of photos+videos (high definition!) was very fast and secure, as well. Excellent service all around, start to finish. Book their services now! THANK YOU Liam Crotty Photography for capturing our day.

I needed some headshots for my art show and he came to my studio and worked with me to get me what I wanted and needed. I couldn't believe how good I looked in the photos but he said he still needed to touch them up. I always hate when photos look over done from touchups but was very happy when I got the photos (which he rushed to me to meet my deadline) to see that they looked natural and made me look even better. He is so gifted and talented with that camera and truly I don't know how he was able to make me look that amazing. I fully recommend him and couldn't think of hiring anyone else.

"Love at first sight"…read more If you are reading this review, you are probably wondering why the title? Well, that's exactly what happened when I stumbled across one of his pictures on social media. I immediately went to his profile, and I was completely in love with his pictures. I was blown away. I did not read his reviews online or did not know anyone who could have recommended him to me. I booked him right away for our engagement/10-year anniversary shoot and that same day I wasted no time and booked him for the wedding as well lol. He was the first one I booked even without having a venue or anything else. As I went to my vendors for the wedding when they asked who the photographer was everyone spoke incredible things about him, about his talent, professionalism, and how amazing he is and to think that all of this started based on one of his professional pictures on social media. His pictures were unique, artistic, and completely different to what you see out there, which was exactly what I was looking for. Then, once my husband and I meet him "we fell in love" lol literally. What's not to love? He has a great personality, approachable, professional, funny, adventurous, and cool. He is easy to work with and a true artist and a creator of magic with his lens. He truly loves what he does. However, it is the experience and service he provides to all his clients that are the most important for him. Which tells you a lot about who he is not only as a photographer but as a human being. Also, his staff is incredible. On the other hand, I must mention I am a (little) difficult to work with (lol). Picky, critical and I see everything, even the smallest details. The day of the shoot I was a bit nervous, but he made me feel comfortable, we were laughing, making jokes, and talking about life. Miguel made the experience unique, and unforgettable. It was our 10th year anniversary, and he even had a beautiful gift for us (engraved which I love) that I still have in our room. I cannot wait for our wedding. I am going to need all the laughs, I can get to calm my nerves lol. But most importantly, he will be by our side capturing the most incredible memories and sharing with us this special day. Your favorite and hottest couple (lollllllll) Yenny & Rudi

We did an engagement session in two different locations and Miguel and his assistant were very professional and consistently tried to make us feel comfortable all while listening to our ideas. He was very good at guiding us through the different poses. At our wedding, Miguel and his team took so many good shots before and during the wedding.
