Sharon did a great job on our wedding photos back in March!…read more We were with Electra Cruises and they provided us with their preferred photographers. I looked through their website and we chose Sharon. She knows the boat very well, the locations, the lighting, the whole process...Admittedly, a wedding on a boat is very different, more different than I expected, on a boat from a wedding at a regular venue. If you have chosen one of the boats, please make sure you find an experienced photographer with your venue, whichever boat it is. Sharon was very good at communicating beforehand. She sent me a questionnaire to fill out to learn more about the wedding. Every time I sent something new to her, she would send me back with an updated plan. I thought that was very assuring for a bride to know exactly what we were expecting on the wedding day. The day of, she was very professional and she would direct us how to pose for our pictures. As you know, people freeze in front of cameras. Thanks to her, we had fun and also good photos. One thing that was really impressive was that she was good with kids and our little puppy. She knew how to get their attentions, well of course other guests as well. Overall, we enjoyed our wedding day and our wedding photos with Sharon and her assistant. We would recommend her, especially for those events on Electra Cruises.

My husband and I got married on the Athena through Electra Cruises. I wanted another photographer,…read morebut he wasn't available, he referred Sharon Pulcino. It was my second wedding, so we didn't need a lot of photos, just the sunset, pictures with the kids and our families. I chose Electra's basic pkg. I should have seen the RED FLAG when Sharon told me the basic pkg was for "FILM" not digital photos. She said if I choose the basic pkg, she will take a few rolls of pics and hand me the film at the end of the wedding. If I wanted the FILM processed and scanned, it will cost me an additional $200. I told her I didn't realize photographers were still using film. She said she will do digital if I wanted to pay an additional $100 and she would "process them." I called Tabatha at Electra about this. She said their photography package does indeed state "film photos," but it was a very old form they just hadn't updated. I also called a couple of photographers on Electra's list and NOBODY uses film anymore. Tabatha spoke with Sharon. Sharon responded to me with an email saying "I'll go ahead & create a special package for you. 200 photos on CD with light processing for Electra's basic package price - no upgrade charges." I explained to Sharon the main reason I wanted to have an evening wedding was to capture the sunset for our photos. Unfortunately, she didn't capture any pictures of the sun setting behind us during our portraits, but she got a couple of shots of our guests. I received the wedding CD after the wedding with an email from Sharon stating "Electra's package is a download & burn only...digital has an amber cast on facial tones that needs to be corrected. Also I noticed blacks need to be lower in some photos. Properly process all the files $250." According to Sharon, the "processing" she previously mentioned "is only to convert to JPG"!! She's right, our pictures did have an amber cast on facial tones and some pictures were dark! This woman is outrageously shameless! She is constantly trying to extort people for more money and taking advantage of people wanting/needing good pictures for a moment you can never recapture!! I contacted the other photographers on the list and asked if they "process" their pictures before giving them to the customers. They all said absolutely! They adjust the lighting and process all the pictures. They said not doing so would be handing over an incomplete product. I called Electra and got the runaround from Jason the manager. He had an attitude like he couldn't care less and basically told me I got what's described in the package. After explaining what the other photographers said, he finally said he would contact Sharon for a special favor and ask her to "process" the pictures. Well, Sharon sent me another disc. She wasn't even professional enough to use a new one (cost 5 cents?). It had somebody else's name scratched off on it. I almost cried when I saw my wedding pictures. Every single one of them had a blue hue/shadow to it. She didn't fix them, she made them worse!!!! I called Jason at Electra again. He was extremely rude this time and told me he did everything he could. I guess once Electra has your money, you're kicked to the curb. I finally told him I was going to write a bad review about Electra, he argued that they had nothing to do with it. I told him Creative Vision Photography was their vendor and I would have never used them if Sharon Pulcino wasn't on their list of PREFERRED vendors. He changed his attitude and told me Sharon should have known better, she worked for Electra as a wedding coordinator for many years.......He said he would "pay" Jerry Kelly (the photographer I originally wanted to use) to fix my photos. Jerry did and they came out so much better!! I hope you read this about my horrible experience before choosing your photographer.

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.

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!!

My wife and I started searching for photographers back in late 2016 after we got engaged. Our venue was set in Orange County, and despite living 4 hrs away from our venue, we wanted photographers from that local area. Photography was extremely important to us, but we were on a tight budget so we decided to browse Craigslist in Orange County. As we soon discovered, many of the photographers were reasonably priced, but their style did not match what we desired. Soonafter, we discovered the Martin Fisher Photography ad. At the time, they had only a few weddings and engagement photos posted on their website. However, their artistic style was exactly what we were looking for (candid, emotional, wide shots, close-ups, attention to detail). We first met the photographers in January 2017, we almost could have missed these two. They looked like they were still in highschool yet their level of professionalism felt like they've done this for years. They clearly explained their pricing and photography process to us. They showed us samples of their work that was not posted on the website. After that meeting, we knew they were the right photographers for us. All the photos that they took for us came out beautiful, and they were exactly as we wanted. They shot our engagement in Los Angeles (East LA and DTLA), our wedding in The Hacienda, Santa Ana, and our day after shoot in Joshua Tree. We loved all our photos. They were always up for shooting no matter what location we chose. They helped us pose in order to capture great moments. They got beautiful and emotional shots during the all our shoots. These photographers go above and beyond your expectations. Their photos will last a lifetime for my wife and I. I am so happy we chose Martin Fisher Photography. We recommend them for any occasion, engagement, wedding, day after, and maternity. They are no longer just photographers to us, they have become our friends. Thank you again Alexis and Justin! We look forward to seeing your photographs in wedding magazines!

Review #600! I…read morecouldn't end the year without this review! A handful of friends have used this photographer for their family photos and weddings; and I always loved the photos she produced. I tried to have a friend take my family's photos but our schedules never aligned. It was December and I procrastinated to get family photos for our Christmas cards. My friend just had a mini session with MarieSam and she told me the photographer still had sessions available. MarieSam replied to my email pretty quick and gave me all the details. Our initial contact was on 12/5 and we set up a photo shoot for 12/9. When the day came the electricity in our townhouse complex went out. A few hours before our scheduled shoot, my hair was soaked and I was freaking out. I called MarieSam and she was very understanding and we were able to reschedule for the 15th at Kenneth Hanh State Park. Before our shoot I told MarieSam that we were thinking of bringing our dog with us but didn't have anyone to wrangle him. MarieSam mentioned that she will have her daughter with her that can wrangle him for us! Her daughter helps with her shoots and it was nice of her to offer that. On the day of the shoot our 16 month old son did not want to cooperate at all. All he wanted to do was explore the park. Holding him was a bit of a challenge but MarieSam was so sweet and patient with us. I stared to worry we wouldn't get any good shots but she assured me she did. After our shoot she mentioned it will take five days to get the proofs. To my surprise she had them done in two days! I stayed up two hours passed my bedtime just admiring all the photos. I think it took about a day to narrow down the 20 images we wanted for our package and we got our photos four days after our shoot! I loved working with MarieSam, I really wished she was our photographer for our wedding. Her work is really great and she is very professional. We would love her to capture our family photos in the future!

We have had the pleasure to witness the vibe and feel of MarieSam and Tommy from a few weddings that me and my wife were in. To us, we needed to have that connection or have that feeling that they knew us and what we wanted. After the initial meeting with them, we knew that they were going to be our photographers for our special day. MarieSam is very professional and very attentive to her craft. She goes the extra mile with every detail. Leading up to the months and days till the big day she would send us little reminders and check ups. Honestly, it kind of felt that she was our wedding planner! She is very accessible if you have any questions or concerns through phone calls and especially emails. On the day of MarieSam and Tommy put us at ease. They worked and work very well with our other vendors especially with our videographer. We were very pleased and very happy with the work that they did. And the pictures speak for themselves. We highly recommend MarieSam and Tommy for any occasion! LOOK NO FURTHER! Lol

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.

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!

While initially requesting quotes from other photobooth companies, I was turned off by the sub par communication and unappealing product packages they offered. I almost didn't book a photobooth for our wedding because of the terrible experience. But after speaking with Vibrant Photobooth, I changed my mind and booked them right away. The ease of coordinating schedule, location, set-up, photo design, etc was well worth it. Planning any event can be hectic, but Vibrant Photobooth made things so simple. Their photobooth set up and props were great, and the photo design incorporated our wedding theme and hashtag. Most importantly, the photos came out AWESOME even in a dimly lit outdoor venue.

I waited to write this review until after receiving our wedding photos because I wanted to be able to share exactly what it felt like to look at the moments from one of the best days of my life seen through the eyes of Kimberly. I got them yesterday, and I have looked at all 650+ photos oh, probably a hundred times. I knew in my heart that our day had been perfect, but what I realized as I poured over the photos is that we absolutely, beyond a measure of doubt, had our DREAM wedding. In every way. Kimberly beautifully and perfectly captured moments, glances, love, excitement, vulnerable and tender moments and pure expressions of utter JOY in every.single.picture. I knew it was a great day, but with it being such a busy one, there was no way I was going to remember every laugh, every smile, every special moment. Now I can for the rest of my life. We had a simple, casual wedding and she so expertly photographed it that even as a DIY by two not-so-very crafty people looked like something out of a perfect, dreamy seaside magazine wedding shoot. DAMN she's good! All of her talent, expertise and gift of photography aside, she is just incredible to work with. Her eye for scouting a great spot for group photos, quickly organizing large groups of people and helping to pose us in perfect harmony is unbelievable. She can make anyone laugh, smile and enjoy every minute of it, even people who don't enjoy being in photos! She is warm, funny and a pure pleasure to work with! You can tell that she was born to do this, that she genuinely enjoys helping capture memorable moments and making the day even more special. She helped us find a wedding coordinator, too! This girl knows the industry talent and happily helped us with any questions we had! She showed up early and stayed late. Weeks leading up to the wedding were full of planning and organizing every shot so that we made sure we got any pictures that we wanted. Our engagement shoot to warm us up to the camera was a breeze, too, and SO MUCH FUN! My husband (still love saying that) and I are not super comfortable with being the center of photographic attention, and she eased us into it and made us feel so natural and comfortable...and it totally shows in the photos. I LOVE YOU, Kimberly! Thank you for being the most perfect beyond perfect photographer, a beautiful soul, a joy and a pleasure to work with. And for giving us so many beautiful photos that will be cherished for the rest of our lives.
