Shane Rader was our photographer and he was so easy to work with. The session was literally 15-20 minutes and he was able to capture so many beautiful shots of my two daughters. So many great shots that it is going to be a challenge to narrow it down. Their print pricing is pretty standard to other professional photographers in the area, what is nice is they do offer option to buy the digital files to each of the pictures at an affordable price. Follow them on Facebook and you will be in the know of when they are offering specials. Great photographers!

Our first session with her was our maternity shoot. We almost cancelled due to a storm passing through, but in the end, she convinced us to meet her at Boca Reservoir anyhow. We arrived at Boca to find the most gorgeous June superbloom of Lupin. The storm had passed and the sky was perfection. Yashila captured the most artistic photos for my husband and I. We have gone on to hire Yashila for our daughter's newborn photos and first year family photos. We will continue to use Yashila Photography. She's amazing!

I have waited months to write this review as I was hopeful that Nick would follow through and…read moreresolve things. Unfortunately, that has not happened so I think it's important I share my experience with others who are looking for a photographer for their special occasions/events. We hired Nick to photograph our family for a special trip we took to Lake Tahoe to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday. Nick was responsive when I reached out about the shoot and was very pleasant the day of the shoot. The issue began when we received the photos. One of the most important photos from the whole shoot was my mom with her grandkids, and there are port-a-potties visible in the background of all of those photos. I saw them during the shoot and pointed them out, but Nick assured me they were not in the photos. I emailed him to let him know we were not happy with those photos (I was actually very surprised he would even send them to me like that to begin with), and I asked if there was any way the port-a-potties could be edited out. He was unresponsive. It took four emails over the course of eight weeks before he responded. He was very kind in that email and apologized for the delayed response. He assured me that he would "work to make sure everything is right." That was at the end of September. After two more months and three additional follow-up emails, it seems that he will not be making good on his promise to make things right. At the very least, I would have appreciated him letting me know when I first emailed about the issue that he could not or would not correct it. That would have given me the opportunity to find someone else to help us instead of waiting four months with nothing to show for it. Another thing to keep in mind if you have young kids: He was very kind and patient with our rowdy group of kids, but he didn't have bubbles or anything along those lines to help get the little ones' attention. I've since done photos with another photographer who did that, and we ended up with a better end result.

Working with Nick was an absolute pleasure. He was with us from the start of our wedding year…read morethrough our engagement and wedding photos. Our first meeting with Nick happened to be at a bar so I knew I liked the guy from the start since he knows how to pick locations to meet that will make his customers feel comfortable. Not only was he extremely professional and organized, his prices were far better than many of his competitors. The engagement photos Nick took of my wife, Morgan, and I came out fantastic. Since I had proposed in Virginia City, we decided to take photos there. Nick, being local, knew the locations well, did some extra scouting and was more than prepared for the photo shoot. Not only were the photos excellent, but the day felt more as if we were hanging out with friends taking random photos rather than having someone staging us to take professional photos. Everything felt so natural and enjoyable thanks to Nick and his skills as a photographer. The wedding photos were equally as fun. Nick and his second shooter took thousands of photos at the wedding! Bits and pieces of the whole day were captured and every time my wife has a chance to show them off, she has been more than happy to do so as they are beautiful and a great memory of the first day of our new lives together. Nick is a crafty veteran in photo taking as he instantly went home after the wedding and backed up everything in multiple spots in order to not lose a single image. He had a plan of attack and executed it perfectly. Not only that, as we had our ceremony at a church and there are special rules for how little movement the priest wanted, he made sure to verify exactly where he could be during the ceremony to get photos and not disturb the ceremony. He truly did a wonderful job and we couldn't be more pleased for selecting him to document our beautiful and joyous wedding.

My parents gifted us a wedding videographer as our wedding present, and I can't believe I almost went without one. We worked mainly with Howard who was willing to accommodate us every step of the way. As we were planning our music festival themed wedding, we explained that we were planning a few unconventional activities like having a bounce house, mega-bubbles, and smoke grenades. Howard was impressed with our plans and I felt that he was just as excited as we were about our wedding day. Howard and his team were exceptionally easy to work with. He has a great sense of humor, which helped me relax as I was feeling anxious/nervous because we were a little behind schedule. The entire crew was very professional and more importantly, fun to be around. I saw them running around behind-the-scenes capturing all the moments I missed, which now I get to watch for years to come. They worked so well with all my other vendors and as a team really helping one another out. It can feel pretty awkward to be in front of the camera, but the team works so efficiently and blends so well into the background that everything felt natural. Howard is creative, energetic, and motivated - he genuinely enjoys capturing wedding videography and getting to know the couples. He is a retired videography teacher, so I knew we were in good hands. I truly enjoyed having him and his team as part of our #FestWeddingEver. Our wedding video is absolutely stunning and I am so happy can look back at it and help me remember the little details that tend to fade with time. Howard went above and beyond and provided us several video additions that weren't included in our contract, which I am so thankful for. I would recommend Distinctive Video Productions fully without hesitation to anyone looking for an amazing wedding videographer (which should be every bride and groom. Trust me, you'll want a video on top of photographs)! Watch my wedding video here: https://vimeo.com/303838509

Martin had photographed a friends wedding and after seeing the pictures he took for them, I knew I wanted him to photograph my big day. My husband and I got married in South Lake Tahoe at Valhalla. Martin and his co-photographer Kacie arrived before the wedding party and found some great places to take photos. Kacie stayed with me and my bridesmaids to capture us getting ready while Martin did the same thing with my husband and his groomsmen. Our favorite pictures were the ones taken out on the lawn. They came out beautifully. Martin and Kacie suggested some great ideas for poses and the images the captured were super high quality and look great when blown up and framed. They were also able to capture a fantastic picture of all my bridesmaids on the pier. It's absolutely great, all my bridesmaids bought a copy. Not only were Martin and Kacie great photographers, but they were both very laid back and got along great with everyone at our wedding. Kacie even helped me with my veil since no one knew what to do. If you want professional quality photos from some really chill, cool people, look no further.
