    Sammy is an exceptional photographer who has captured so many monumental important and special events in my family's life! He is so awesome behind the camera and easy to talk to and work with! He is great with kids and we can't thank him enough for all his love, passion, and expertise in capturing our family! Thank you so much Sammy! Our photos are something we will cherish for a lifetime and we owe that to you!

    Absolutely love CTL!!! My family and I had a couple family photo sessions with Sammy and are so thankful for his eye and incredible gift at capturing the heart of photos. Sammy was very patient and made us feel comfortable even when my little one wanted to do his own thing. That was definitely a plus and heart warming for us. We love his passion for people and photography, which shows in his work. Thank you so much Sammy! We feel so blessed by you and your work of art!

    Using Closer to Love as our wedding photographer was the BEST decision ever. From our first meeting over coffee to receiving the final photos, Sammy's passion for photography is shown through every stage of the process. Closer to Love took our love and made it into art through the photos. During our entire wedding day, Closer to Love made us feel so comfortable and gave such a positive energy to the entire event. So many guests and the bridal party even complimented the Closer to Love team. They are professional and bring a fresh and timeless look to the photography! They gave us everything we hoped for and more. I couldn't recommend Closer to Love enough. These are photos that we are going to cherish for a lifetime! Thank you so much!!!

    Sammy was super efficient, very sure of how/where/when to be for the shots! I felt a bit awkward since I haven't had too many photoshoots before, but his confidence put me at ease and made very comfortable during the shoot. Time flew 'cause we were having so much fun! I highly recommend CTL as they are definitely blessed with a gifted eye! Here are some of the photos that were taken!

    I highly recommend CTL photography to all of our friends & family! Sammy did an amazing job with our engagement session & our wedding photos he even added a bonus session with us because he knew we'd like some photos at the beach so he accommodated us. He is very professional, timely, respectful, & kind person. He is also really creative & knows exactly what looks good. He told my husband & me what to do & how to pose constantly because we did not know what we were doing haha! He was so great & patient through everything! He made me feel super stress free on my wedding day. Sammy was so quick & efficient with all of our family photos, leaving both our families super impressed with his work. He definitely left a great impression on them all. Considering how my husband had many weddings in the family before, they had all said Sammy was by far the best & most efficient photographer they had dealt with. Not to mention, he was always reassuring us throughout the day & saying that the wedding wouldn't start without us (when I was running late getting ready). Sammy is the best person for your photos! Very romantic style & has such an eye for good picture opportunities. He also gave us our photos back very quickly which was so nice & thoughtful for him to do! Thanks again, Sammy! You're an awesome photographer & a good friend to Sam & I! Keep up the good & hard work!

    We were referred to CTL by a friend - I saw her engagement pictures and I was blown away by how natural and romantic they turned out. She highly recommended Sammy Cosa, and said she regretted only using him for her engagement photos, and not for her wedding photos. My fiance (now husband) and I met with Sammy at a nearby coffee shop in Fullerton. He was so considerate, and asked us for out coffee orders ahead of time, so we could have drinks as soon as we sat down. That alone spoke miles of his character - he truly cares about making his clients feel comfortable and valued. Right away, Sammy made us feel comfortable, and he did not pressure us at all. There are so many choices when it comes to hiring vendors for your wedding, and so much competition, but Sammy did not make it feel like he was selling himself to us. He spoke so passionately about photography, love, and family - that is what really sold me (2nd to his amazing portfolio, of course). Engagement Shoot - Sammy made us feel so comfortable and he made the process light and easy. He was so engrossed in the process, it made us forget about our surroundings and we were able to laugh comfortably and have fun. He made me feel beautiful! When we got our photos back, we were so satisfied! I couldn't wait for the wedding. Wedding Day Photos - The wedding day, as most wedding days are, was hectic and stressful and I was a ball of anxiety. But Sammy was on time, professional, and courteous. We were rushed, but he still managed to get all the photos I asked for. Sammy and his team were discrete and did not disrupt the ceremony, the speeches, dances, etc. The day flew by, and then we received our photos between 8 and 12 weeks as promised (I think it was around 9 weeks). We were absolutely blown away by the wedding photos, they were exactly what we wanted. I was amazed at how beautifully Sammy captured our special day. I would recommend Sammy to anyone! He was one of my favorite vendors, and I am so glad we made the right choice.

    I'd been following CTL photography for a long time and had always wanted to book a session but they hadn't been local to my area until recently. I was so thrilled to book a family session. Sammy was so professional, encouraging and easy to work with. He had a way of capturing us so organically and beautifully. It felt as if we were on a family outing and he was just capturing us being ourselves together. He delivered a beautiful gallery and I'm so grateful to have had this time documented with my husband and 3 children. Thank you, CTL!

    As a marketing professional, the photography was the single most important part of my wedding. I…read morehad a very strong vision and I desperately needed a photographer that shared that dream. I cannot tell you how crucial it was for me that my pictures conveyed my love for my future husband, my family and friends, but also, that they gave me the gift of all the moments from that day, for the rest of my life. I was very lucky to meet and work with Maggie Grace. She was responsive and communicated very well with me prior to committing with a contract. Securing a rate, terms and conditions was fast and professional and I felt very comfortable with the process. She flew down to Las Vegas to work on this job and I was so excited to have her as there weren't any photographers here that had a portfolio like hers. From the moment she joined us she began working, she did some scouting, reconfirmed her shot list and timelines and made sure she was prepared for the big day. I don't enjoy taking pictures so I was anxious that I would look stiff and uninviting. Maggie gave us all great direction during the photo taking process, she was inventive and relaxed making it an enjoyable experience. After the wedding she delivered all my requested images both via a shareable website with downloadable hi and low res images as well as mailing me a jump drive with all the images as a back-up. I'm obsessed with my wedding pictures, I couldn't be happier and I will be hiring Maggie for all future life events!

We got all of that and so much more when we found Maggie Grace photography. If you're looking for an amazing, award-winning photographer, who is a kind and sweet soul that will make you feel so genuinely comfortable that you cannot resist having fun on your wedding day, Maggie Grace, is the right Photographer for you. Maggie worked tirelessly to capture memories that will last us a lifetime. My fiancé and I have jumped at every opportunity to share these photos and will continue to do that for many years to come. She captured all the important moments, however big and small. Maggie is a visionary and that shows through how she executed her shots and delivered her work. What we got from Maggie is more than incredible photos. We gained an experience. She went through every length imaginable to make sure that we get photos we never dreamt were possible, all while maintaining a fun and energetic attitude. I never knew my fiancé would enjoy taking photos until we started shooting with Maggie. She is such a joy to be around. You don't just get amazing photos with her, you get a rockstar photographer who delivers!!!

    I don't normally leave reviews for businesses, but I absolutely had to for Mayne Frame Photography…read more It wasn't even an option! Brad Mayne was absolutely amazing! Just 2 weeks ago we learned our son was graduating an entire year early! We scrambled to find a photographer who could get the photo shoot done and pictures edited in just a few days. We received over 40 photographer recommendations from friends and family, and all I can say is, it's not easy finding the right one! So many photographers had complicated contracts, ridiculous pricing, and required consultations that take up time and money. Brad at Mayne Frame Photography was the only one that kept things simple and easy to work with. Brad was so kind, and understood the importance of what we needed. Within 48 hours we had a scheduled photo shoot in downtown Boise. Our son got to wear 3 different outfits, and we weren't running against the clock. Brad told us, "we'll just keep going until we get the right shots!" Brad made our son feel comfortable, and within a few minutes our son was smiling and coming out of his shell. Brad made it an amazing experience! To our surprise, Brad had the photos uploaded to his website and ready for review the next morning! We selected 4 photos for our son's graduation announcements, and Greg had them enhanced and edited within 24 HRS!!!! All of the pictures turned out absolutely amazing!!! Not only that, but Brad gives you the digital images and lets you own the print rights. It's not complicated, it's not expensive, and Brad kept us in the loop the entire time! Because of our amazing experience, we will use and recommend Mayne Frame Photography for every single one of our kids and family photos. Brad is a professional, but he's also personal and humble. He made this stressful task, a simple and stress free experience! Thank you Brad and Mayne Frame Photography!

    Frannie and Nichole are both truly talented photographers!…read more I hired them to take photos of my son for his first birthday, as well as, a few shots of our little family; and was very happy with the results. The girls are so creative when it comes to styling their photo shoots. If you have no clue what or where you what the photos to be, they instantly swoop in with props, poses, scenery, etc. For our photo shoot, they attempted to get shots of my son in those faux denim diapers. Quite entertaining to watch! And brought him a piece of birthday cake, so thoughtful! Their style of photography is definitely not traditional, so if you are looking for a photo of you and your kids all sitting prim and proper with collared shirts in front of one of those fake landscape scenes, then this is not the place for you! :) Most know Ampersand for their phenomenal wedding photography, which I have seen and is quite breathtaking. But they really have the patience and spunky character to capture the moment with an impatient toddler too. Photos were very easy to view from a website link, and super easy to order; as well. Very convenient way for me yo share with family and let them decide if they wanted to order any and what size. There were so many photo options, I did get a little confused but Frannie was happy to explain what I was looking at. Looking forward to hiring them again soon! I now have another little one, and am looking forward to his first professional photo shoot, as well as, an updated photo of our growing family.

She has a talent of taking what you say and turning it into a masterpiece. We then booked a branding photoshoot. The pictures turned out absolutely perfect and I was so proud of each photo she took. It's like she was able to photograph my heart and soul. These images have been absolutely perfect for all of my social media, flyers, cards, and emails. Nichole also taught me all about social media content creation, how to caption posts, hashtags to use, scheduling posts, and many other tips and tricks! Nearly a year later, I still have plenty of pictures to use for upcoming posts and content. Such a great value for a new business! These pictures are also the BEST quality pictures I've ever had taken. I have to say for one shoot she was able to deliver so many diverse photo options. If you're looking for a branding photographer look no further, you will be so HAPPY with her work. She is great at her job and super fun to work with! Thank you Nichole for everything you did for me and this dream of mine. You were such an important piece of my business starting up right and I will be forever grateful!
