I hired Finally Forever Photography to do my recent wedding on 5/16/15. They did our family photo…read moreshoot about a year ago and we loved the work they did and decided to book them for our wedding and videography services. The only word that comes to mind after viewing our photos is AMAZING! They captured such special moments and the true essence of our wedding day! STAFF: The most down to earth people you will ever meet. They take pride in their work. Always available via email when we had any questions. Set up meetings to discuss and go over wedding day timeline and they traveled to my area which was greatly appreciated (because I reside in the IE) It showed they value their clients by going the extra mile. The day of they were on time and ready to work. Professional and clean equipment. Always moving and working hard to get that perfect shot and it showed in the work we received. PACKAGE: We got 2 photographers and 2 videographers. All photos on a file, full wedding video, prints and wedding video preview. All for a great price! The turn around time was quick! We got married and in 2 weeks we had photos to view. Roman, Mike, Bryan & The Finally forever crew THANK YOU for a wonderful job! We have these beautiful photos that will bring memories to last a lifetime!

I picked up a LivingSocial voucher for Dacy Nottingham Photography as he was local to my area and…read morewilling to drive to my home for a foto shoot of my girls. I recently had some issues that prevented me from using the voucher before it expired but Dacy was very patient and accommodating at scheduling the shoot past its expiration date and still honoring the full value of the voucher. My girls (4 and 1.5) were the subjects of the photo shoot and he was very patient with them as shooting little kids can be a bit touch and go. He got some really great informal candid shots of them that were very sweet and he was very accommodating in Photoshopping some background junk out of some fotos for a minimal charge. The pictures ordered and produced are of good quality and promptly delivered. Arriving in time for Fathers Day - the grandparents, god fathers and uncles who received them love them. They were a surprise Fathers Day gift for their father who enjoyed them as well. I am very happy to recommend Dacy for other families and event photography.

Dacy was my cousin Brian's videographer for his wedding a few years back. I remember telling my…read morecousin and his wife that I will be using their videographer when I get married one day. Fast forward to a few years down the road.. My cousin couldn't find the info for his videographer when I was finally planning my own wedding. I was so bummed! Some friends, family and I went to the Pala Casino bridal expo. I told my Mom I really wanted to find a great videographer like the one my cousin Brian had. I passed a few videography booths that I just didn't care for. Finally, I turned the corner and out of all videos, Dacy was playing my cousin Brian's wedding video at his booth. I was beyond excited! I knew I needed him for our wedding. It was meant to be. I booked Dacy that day and have no regrets whatsoever. Our video came back and is more gorgeous than I even expected. I cried watching it. You can tell all the time and effort put into it. And if anyone is hesitant on getting the drone- just do it! The shots are amazing! I want to thank Dacy and his team for doing our wedding. We loved you guys!

Kenn and Lisa photographed our engagement session and wedding in March and I cannot say enough…read moreabout them! From our first meeting we found them to be friendly, knowledgeable, and we loved that they did their best to get to know us as a couple. At this meeting they showed us their work, answered our questions, and did not pressure us AT ALL to choose them as our photographers. We felt really good after we met with them and decided to hire them on right away. Kenn and Lisa were so wonderful when it came to keeping in touch with us to let us know about dates/times/locations for our engagement shoot. We chose two locations in Downtown LA which was AMAZING considering it was such a commute for them. They made us feel comfortable and at ease during the shoot which was important since neither one of us had done a photo shoot before and felt a little awkward about it at first. When they were done, the engagement pictures came in a beautiful package and had several hundred pictures on them. We used these pictures throughout our wedding process and got many compliments on how great these were. A couple of weeks before our wedding, Kenn and Lisa met with us to discuss our wedding day. We went over a rough timeline for the day and they gave us a good idea of what pictures would be shot when. We gave them some additional suggestions and they made sure to include these in our shots! Our wedding day went smoothly and Kenn and Lisa were prompt, calm, and excited for the day. They made sure to get all the standard shots (i.e. posed bridal party photos, pictures with our parents, portraits of us, etc.) but they also made sure to photograph all the details we created for the day. We were so happy with the end result and will not hesitate to use them in the future.

My husband and I looked into their services for our outdoor wedding, and were very pleased from the…read morestart. One of the things we were looking for in a wedding photographer was relevance. Kenn and Lisa definitely have a great understanding about current photography styles and taste, which translates into beautiful photos. What really made the deal for us was the fact that they touch up EVERY single photo, and found ways to work within our budget! We were also very impressed by their professionalism. During our initial meeting, Kenn and Lisa came prepared to answer all of our questions and concerns, and were open to our ideas.They researched our venue and recognized our vision right away. We met a few times before the wedding, and they had a photography list already made -one less thing for the bride to worry about. All I needed to do was go through the list and check off anything we absolutely wanted, or didn't care for. The day of the wedding was a great and fun experience. Neither my husband, or I like to take photos, but they made us feel comfortable and at ease. We weren't forced to do things that didn't come natural to us. Kenn and Lisa also worked so well with our family, and got all the additional shots we asked for. They worked really hard and we appreciated all their efforts especially because it was 110 degrees out! Kenn and Lisa maintained their professionalism even after the wedding was over. I received a few updates from Kenn, and they delivered the photos before the term date. Definitely recommend them!!

Jason & Hilary are fantastic. And you should absolutely use them to capture a special day…read more We used Jason for our wedding and engagement photography. We told them that photography was our second priority for the whole wedding (behind venue). We wanted our photos to capture the moments our memories would fade. We wanted them to capture the guests' emotions, the secret moments we shared between all the craziness of our wedding, and we wanted our photos to capture our personalities so that it didn't feel staged, but felt authentic to our relationship. And they delivered. We are so, so happy with our wedding and engagement photos on the beach! Hilary was super helpful on the day - she helped me (Bride) put earrings in because my nails were too long. She helped the boys place their ties in the right spot. She held my dress while we walked so it didn't get all dirty. She was able to predict little needs we all had before we even knew we needed them. Hilary is amazing. Jason is such a magnificent photographer. He loves to capture the world happening around a couple - the trees, the water, the mountains. If you want to feel like you're a lucky human dropped in the middle of a stunning landscape painting, he is your photographer. Also, we got all of our photos so promptly. They were edited beautifully. Jason doesn't over edit and make it feel ridiculous. He left the little realities of me and my husband that make us... Us. And I love that. We'll find a reason to rehire Jason again in the future. And we think you should, too.

We would strongly recommend not hiring Jason Berry Photography. We hired this vendor for our…read morewedding, and we had a negative experience both in terms of the photography product we received and also in terms of the vendor's unprofessional conduct towards us as clients. We were initially most excited for Jason Berry amongst all our vendors, but there were a number of issues, incidents and disappointments. In terms of product, we were displeased with our gallery. His skill is obvious and other albums gorgeous, so we were frustrated and upset to see less than five bridal portrait shots, and all taken in a messy area, in addition to other missing or poor photos. He circulated a survey to us before the wedding, and we identified exactly the kinds of photos we wanted, among other preferences. We selected the "Wedding Collection 3" package for $3200, with 8 hours with two photographers, and we requested the advertised 10% off from the Wedding Wire discount. Part of the package included a "Wedding day timeline and engagement session consultation," yet the photographer was unresponsive and only available to consult while we were driving to Rehearsal Dinner two days beforehand. We exchanged an engagement shoot typically required in the package, and included one extra hour the day-of where we hoped would accommodate for more time to take portrait shots, especially since we explicitly planned the reception to be a five-minute drive from the church. But many photos were un-usable in terms of blinking, looking away, etc. At the reception, he promised us sneak peaks in the next few days. We were excited. We reached out to him a few days after the wedding, but he told us he was unavailable to provide us with sneak peaks that week due to personal commitments. He made us feel like a nag, yet it's the vendor's responsibility to communicate a change in expectation. We later checked instagram and noticed he'd posted photos of us but didn't share or tag us (even though we shared this info in the survey). This leads into our experience with his professional conduct and customer service, which was upsetting and insulting. Out of excitement, we agreed in advance to purchase an album for $850, but based on the issues above, we requested a refund over a phone call. We simply did not have enough of a variety of usable photos in the gallery to provide a selection to him to create an album. (He also initiated but never followed up on scheduling a meeting where we could go through the photos together when he initially shared the album with us.) Jason refused, and he complained it was due to my wife's church's "shitty lighting." Again, the premises were large, he had time to check out the lighting beforehand and come up with the game plan. We suggested beforehand to take portraits at the reception venue, which he said wouldn't be necessary. So, he offered to have us choose "a few frames and canvases" instead of the album. Yet when we did from his website, earnestly spending a great deal of time picking out an equal value of frames and canvases, he chastised us for choosing too many. He provided no guidelines, so we assumed we could choose a selection equal to the price of the album (850). He became very aggressive and confrontational and still chose not to provide us with any direction (e.g. product dimensions) besides sending over 2 file names. We would urge prospective clients to avoid Jason Berry Photography. We did not receive the services paid for or expected, nor were we treated with respect. A photographer could preserve life's most precious occasions. Regrettably, our experience made this occasion more stressful, painful and very frustrating. While it's difficult to write a poor review of a wedding vendor, we feel obligated to share our experience.

Brian is the best photographer that I have ever worked with…read more My husband and I recently got married and he photographed the most beautiful pictures, capturing each and every precious moment. He works well with your conflicting schedules, travels to where you are, has a beautiful and artistic eye and is full of knowledge. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a great photographer for their wedding. I promise... you will not be disappointed!!

Brian is AMAZING!! I just got married in early September and we found Brian through a friend…read morereferral. We got to know a little bit about his style by doing engagement pics with him. I got so many rave compliments on the pictures from all my friends and family. Wedding day pictures just came back and again I was amazed by the way Brian was able to capture emotion...and even the "posed" pictures didn't look so posed. I also got so many compliment on these pics as well. Another pro is that he's with you all day on the day of the wedding - most photographers quote you for 5-6 hours. My only (small) gripe is that he's a little pricey - but you get what you pay for. My husband and I couldn't afford to get the package we wanted (with album and second photographer) - but we're going to print the pics on our own.

After numerous hours searching for a lifestyle photographer, I finally found Kristin through the…read moreEntertainment book, and I'm so glad I did! Prior to our shoot, she was responsive to emails and messages and suggested a great location - Laguna Niguel Regional Park. During the shoot, she was efficient, professional and creative. I truly enjoyed working with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. After the shoot it took longer than expected to see the photos, about 3 weeks to see the photos (could be the holiday season). I was very pleased with the photos! Would definitely recommend Kristin to anyone! Thank you, Kristin :)

Chris was recommended to us by a close friend who used him for their wedding. We not only hired…read moreChris because of our friends wedding photos (very natural w/o much photoshop) but he was willing to talk business and work within our budget. We had our engagement photos and wedding photos done by him and his team. The day of the wedding him and his assistant were on time, teamed up with our videographers, and delivered very good photos with minimal photoshop. Tips for future couples using Darnall Photography : prior to the wedding let him know the schedule, show him specific poses that you would like in advance, and designate someone to be responsible to position the bride's veil and train.

My husband and I got married just over 4 years ago and to this day every time I think of our…read morewedding I get fired up about the terrible pictures!!! Here are just a few issues that come to mind years later: * HE WAS LATE! - We got married at the Surf & Sand in Laguna Beach and Chris Darnall didn't even show up on time! He blamed it on the fact that he couldn't find parking! That's when you suck it up and valet! Needless to say we got absolutely ZERO photos of myself or my husband getting ready!! (We also got no photos of the dress, shoes, rings, etc) *He wasn't prepared! - He had no idea where to set us up for photos so the entire wedding party was following him around the resort like a herd of cattle. He said he had worked at the Surf & Sand before but that was hard to believe by the way our wedding day unfolded. Total Chaos! *His timing was horrible! - He waiting until after our evening wedding to take our group wedding party pictures. He definitely didn't account for the lighting because the sun was set and all of the picture of our wedding party came out dark! *Unprofessional! - If our wedding day experience wasn't bad enough, when our wedding photo book arrived it was damaged! We let his know the book came damaged and he said he would replace it but never did!!! Whatever you do, do NOT use Darnall Photography for your wedding day! ...You might regret it, just like we do.
