I saw our friend's wedding video and it made me cry. So when I got engaged, I asked them for…read morereference and they gave me Yale Pictures contacts. I called them right away and we started to work together ever since. They are super responsive. We discussed the style of the video in all details as well as locations and the shooting schedule. On our wedding day, I wasn't nervous at all. Our videographer was a great guy with a good sense of humor! We enjoyed the shooting and we were not tired at all! The wedding film is so impressive! I can't find words to express how delightful am I with the result! You guys did a great job! Thank you!

Daran, the creator of Colored Lion, was my wedding photographer and he was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!…read more I truly couldn't have asked for anything more out of the pictures he was able to capture that day. He did whatever it took to get the shot in 90+ degree heat. He came with fun, creative ideas, and even laid down on a dusty bridge infested with flies to get the most amazing shot of the day...my husband and I on a worn, abandoned bridge, with vibrant green woods surrounding us as the sun set through the trees! Take a look at it on his website. It will take your breath away. Daran even captured my sister in mid air when she did the "dirty dancing" lift with this best man as they made their entrance! Unreal. If you are looking for a wedding photographer or simply a photographer who is creative and willing to do whatever it takes to get that shot, then Colored Lion is the company you need to work with. Daran has a truly natural talent with color. He enhanced the color of my pictures and took them to a whole new level (I seriously didn't think they could get any better). His eye for the aesthetic and passion for color is simply something that cannot be taught. He is the the heart and brains behind Colored Lion. To me, a great photographer has nothing to do with the fancy, expensive equipment someone has or the latest editing tools they have access to. Everyone is a "photographer" now days. Daran, however, is the real deal and I cannot recommend Colored Lion enough!

On the day I proposed to my wife, I knew there was only one person in Austin who could capture the…read moremoment. Daran at ColoredLion worked with me weeks and days before the big moment to give me additional ideas and tell me exactly where he would be and what would make the best setting and best pictures (and calm me down the day of). All of his advice was spot on. He got the photos of a lifetime without us even remembering he was there. We've had dozens of people say it's the best engagement photo they've ever seen. I would use Daran at ColoredLion again in a heartbeat, for any event, big or small.

This is the worst drone service I have ever interacted with…read more Omid is the most immature person I have ever spoken to. I searched for drone services in Austin and Mavrik Pictures shows up. I give the number on the website a call and Omid who sounded like he woke up from a nap picks up. I ask him about his drone services and he asks when I would like to shoot. We schedule it a few days ahead. He says there will be a $200 deposit and he would send me the invoice in a day or two. Two days later, he sends the invoice which I gladly paid first thing in the morning the day before the shoot. My flight from a speaking engagement got delayed by a day and I was at the airport trying to get to Austin as soon as I could to make this shoot. I texted him 3am in the morning. I finally get in town and tried to call him again around 7am then tried at 8am. He picks up, and says he just saw my text. I told him I could power through it but I was exhausted and would like to reschedule. He explodes over the phone, calling me selfish several times, and yelling and interrupting me, telling me he had to drive his team from Dallas (just a reminder that his business and location of business shows Austin), and how he's made "such a big sacrifice" by not asking for 50% of the deposit and using good drones. I got really frustrated and told him that's not how anyone speaks to me, and if we want to reschedule and work together, then we have to speak with each other with respect. He was constantly interrupting me because he knew he misinterpreted the situation and he was in the wrong for not communicating that his team is actually based in DALLAS. Then threatened me to pay the entire fee even if I cancel (even though I didn't ask for cancellation but a reschedule) saying "My team will go to the location and you better be there and if you don't show up I'll see!" Word of advise don't use this service.

Elizabeth and James did a family session for my little family last fall to get photos for our…read moreChristmas cards. We went out to the park at Mueller and proceeded to just play and have fun and Elizabeth snapped candid shots. I still can't believe how great the photos turned out. After the photos were shot and edited, Elizabeth designed our Christmas cards for us and had them printed, all for a very reasonable price. We had tons of people commenting on how great our cards looked! Elizabeth and James are both great to work with - easy going but very professional. Highly recommended!

Truly talented and professional!…read more Elizabeth was cordial and helpful from the start. At our first e-mail, she sent me a sample contract that met the specifications I had asked for the wedding. The price for her and James to travel to Alpine and take pictures for the wedding at a ranch in the middle of no where was super reasonable! She and her husband are truly kind and clearly expert at taking fine pictures that will last a lifetime. Thanks so much Elizabeth and James for capturing our wedding day!

His price was very reasonable and he got the pictures back to us on a cd within 3 weeks. He took over 250 pictures and we get to have them printed where ever we choose. I was very impressed that he dressed professional at the wedding so he fit right in. He is a nice guy and I would choose him again to shoot any function we have in the future.

To understand the value of my review, you have to understand that I *hate* getting my picture…read moretaken. For that reason, I've never head a professional head shot taken and recently needed one when photos of our team were requested for a corporate website. Johnny set up an appointment for myself and my colleagues to get head shots taken this past weekend. I wasn't sure what to expect or even what to wear. He made recommendations on the style of clothing, color based on our individual complexions, and pattern on the material. He even suggested we bring multiple blouses to have options for the shoot. The whole shoot (for me) literally look probably not more than 10 minutes. Johnny was great and funny and made me completely relaxed through the process. He sent his favorite photos of mine via email within 1 day for me to choose from. I chose my favorite of four and by the next day, I had a final version which was touched up for my immediate use online. He literally made a process I would normally find uncomfortable and painful -- painless! I highly recommend him and his work! By the way, I liked the photo so much, I have made it my profile picture on Yelp too.

I have photos taken all over the country and I can say that his were the best of the best (plus reasonably priced). I HIGHLY recommend Johnny for any photography needs.

Tim is not just a great photographer. He is an incredible photography instructor too…read more I have gone through 4 different classes that Tim has taught for a total of about 30 hours of classroom or field training. Every one of Tim's classes were packed with knowledge for hobby and professional photographers alike. As a master photographer, Tim has spent decades learning and sharing what he knows with other fledgling photographers. I highly recommend Tim's classes for anyone who wants to improve their skills. I have made back many times more money in fees that I spent on his classes.
