We do not recommend this photographer for a wedding event…read more Found Ryan Shiver on Thumbtack. At the beginning Ryan was kind of responsive and easy to work with. We talked about the pricing and what points of interest at the wedding we wanted shots of. I gave him a list of the timeline of photos via the telephone. A basic wedding checklist for photographers. Bride walking down the aisle, Actual ceremony, Bride and Groom with their respective parents, family, etc. On the day of the event he arrived on time. Was friendly and engaging with the guests. Ryan would disappear at certain times. When it was time for the dinner, the DJ announced the Bride and Groom to serve their food. Then the parents, wedding party, etc. etc. Well Ryan was in line right behind the first two parents. The 5th person on line. He was told (as well as the DJ) he was welcome to dinner after all of the guests had served. So that was quite rude and unprofessional for him to be at the head of the line. One of the worst things is his Overcharging us for an extra hour. He stayed at his own will, not approved, and he had the nerve to double charge us. He told us if we didn't pay that charge, we weren't getting the photos. We discussed the charges with him and he went back and forth with bad math. He sent various emails with old information and math errors. Next make sure you have a "printed" list of the shot selections. Ryan was told in our phone conversations what shots we wanted. He never took photos of the Bride and Groom and the Grooms parents. Not a single one. Nor did he take any photos of the Grooms immediate family, etc. Additionally, the ceremony photos were okay. Could have been much better. Ryan must not have taken good notes during our conversations because what was discussed was not included. If you decide to go with this photographer, have everything written. Make sure you keep an eye on him. As I mentioned earlier, he would disappear. When he was done, he just left. Not one word. No one even knew when he left. Book with caution.

As you all know there's a lot of competition within the Photography world. Their vision is the keep it afordable and to make you look great! Michael Kelley is the founder and the photographer I worked with and he made me feel like I was a model and so comfortable and at ease. I'm reaching an age where I want to have pretty portraits to look back on before I get all wrinkly and old. The day we decided to shoot was a perfect day in July. Time was close to sunset, which Michael Kelley mentioned is the best lighting. We picked out the locations, I had on one outfit and Michael made it FUN! I'm no where near being a model, so posing and holding the pose was not easy, but with his skills he captured a lot of my natural self expressions. He even used REAL FILM! I was very impressed with his skills and how the pictures turned out. I'll be scheduling another session with him soon. He might even be the Photograher for my Engagement, Wedding, and my Baby's first birthday! I think he even does head shots for all you actors out there. I just placed my order for my prints and I can't wait to see it in poster size! Thank you Dexterwashington Photography for doing my portraits.

Please note that this is NOT a review on behalf of the US District Court in San Francisco, but my…read moreown personal opinion and experience as an employee for the US District Court who commissioned Dexter Washington Photography for several US District Court events. I was fortunate to find Dexter Washington Photography on Craigslist in 2011 and having reviewed their impressive online portfolio, I was satisfied that they would do due justice to the three Federal Judges we were inducting in three separate official court ceremonies; I was not disappointed, and neither were any of our Judges. Michael Kelley is an outstanding photographer, a friendly and professional person in general but more importantly, an efficient individual who understood the needs of the Court and was willing to work within my specifications and strict Court guidelines. He made sure to check out the courtroom and reception venues in advance so that he would be familiar with the space and of course, the lighting provided there for the best possible results. He made himself available to all our Judges, their family and guests who sought out personal portraits. Our events were so large (up to 700 guests) that he had the foresight to schedule a second photographer at no extra cost to the Court. His photography packages are a great deal and the online web page he provided to all the guests so that they may order prints online is extremely user friendly and convenient. If you're looking for a professional, Dexter Washington Photography is a great choice.

I've been meaning to write a review of Colson for awhile now - he's done quite a few of my friends…read morewedding and engagement photos, and every single time he shoots a couple that I love and adore they immediately become "the most adorable couple of all time" when I see the photos! He doesn't do events quite as often anymore but he's also been the photographer for a handful of charity events I've both attended and organized. Just recently, Colson did a family portrait session with my parents and brother in San Diego and it was (as expected) another 5-star experience. My family was so happy with the photos and my parents now have an awesome canvas above their fireplace that, as my mom put it, really captures our spirit! My parents were generous to gift a set of crystal cubes to my brother and me so we could have something for our respective apartments. Colson is just the best. Having these photos was really special for my family and I'm so lucky we were able to get him to fly down to SD for the day!

I got engaged in December of 2009. Like any other girl, I had a vision of what I wanted, what it…read morewould be like, the dress, shoes, hair etc. So in that I started planning like a mad woman, I was on a mission. In that I needed to stay within my budget, but just because I have a budget doesn't mean that I should skimp out on great vendors. In that I found myself researching on line for hours and sometimes days! Finally I came across this yelp review for Colson. So I clicked on his website and fell in love with his work. That's when reality hit me and said, Ok if his work is this good it must cost an arm and a leg if not a kidney at least! But nope, I was wrong. So I immediately emailed this talented man and had to set something up with him. I met with him in the fall of 2010, in that, my wedding would not be until two years from now. Either way he agreed to meet with me. We chatted, and chatted, and chatted some more. I left that meeting feeling really happy and excited that I had found the photographer to capture one of the most important days of my life. We first wanted to do a trial run with our engagement pictures, after numerous scheduling conflicts, which I apologized for, but he was super patient and understanding about it. We meet up in May at Santa Cruz at the Boardwalk. I really love the 1950's so I decided to have a 50's theme engagement session. The location was perfect. Colson had great ideas and very patient since I have never been really comfortable in front of the camera. In the end we were really happy, pleased, excited and in love with the images Colson produced. We can't wait to have him shoot the wedding. I also plan to do a Trash the Dress session which I'm super excited about! Ya'll should check him out! Like Now....................Go!!!

My husband and I were very particular in who to choose for our engagement and wedding photographer…read more We filtered through a bunch of photographers and Daniel was the best in terms of style and pricing. Daniel is very professional, detail-oriented, and very easy to talk to. You can tell he has a lot of passion for photography and really cares about his clients getting the shot/look over being strict on the timing laid out in the contract. Onto the photoshoot, my husband and I were really nervous about how to pose and not look awkward however Daniel quickly helped us loosen up. As we took more and more photos, we knew how to pose and it got really fun that we didn't want to stop. Daniel really goes out of his way to even do a venue site tour if he has never been to your venue before. He will help look at your bridal suite and around the venue to give you advice regarding space and lighting. This was huge for us because the original room we had was way too small. We upgraded to a bigger room with more lighting and this allowed us to have a smooth wedding day. Daniel is also very punctual, hard-working, and prepared. He always arrives early and is very communicative which is a plus! He runs around to help capture the special moment for you and even prepares so many things such as a bubble gun for the signature look, placemat for your wedding flat lay, and adhesive suction hook to hang your wedding dress. I was just amazed how thorough and thoughtful he is. Shoutout to his wife as well. She is Daniel's assistant who does all the close up shots and puts in just the same energy/work as Daniel. They make the perfect duo! It's unfortunate that he does not have that many reviews/followers on his social media accounts because his work is truly amazing! If you are planning to get your photos taken, I highly recommend Daniel.
