Adam, the owner of Urban Tripod, is an outstanding family photographer in Gilbert, AZ. He…read morephotographed our family at the Riparian Preserve in Gilbert, and the entire experience was fantastic. Our family tends to be a little goofy and we came in with some unusual requests, but Adam completely embraced it. Instead of forcing stiff poses, he created a relaxed environment that allowed him to capture truly authentic family photos that actually feel like us. The quality of the photos is top notch. The lighting, composition, and overall professionalism really show that Adam knows what he's doing as a photographer. If you're looking for family photos at the Riparian Preserve or anywhere in the Gilbert area, he's a great choice. He also ran the session professionally from start to finish. Adam arrived early, made the shoot fun and easy, and delivered our finished photos in about two weeks, which was faster than we expected. Adam is a great guy, incredibly talented, and someone I would highly recommend if you're looking for a family photographer in the Phoenix Metro Area. We were in Gilbert or the East Valley for our photos.

It's time for a review update as I need to praise Adam for a recent Photoshop edit that he did for…read moremy finish line photo from my first marathon in 2021. Yes, I ran the NYC Marathon in 2021, but just this year did I finally get around to purchasing my finish line photo. After utilizing Adam's Photoshop skills in the past, I reached out to him to see if he could work his magic, and he exceeded my expectations. Attached you will see the before and after where Adam was able to remove three people that were crossing the finish line at the same time as me so now the focus is fully on me which feels super special. And he was even able to fill in the text on the ground that those people were previously blocking which wowed me. I rarely have a good race photo as I haven't figured out how to look photogenic while sweaty and in pain but that is a lesson for another day. Thankfully I have Adam to help me look a little better - I can't wait to order a print of his Photoshopped image to frame on my wall. Thank you, Adam!

We recently hired Lisa to take our family photos. It was long overdue, so I was very excited to…read morework with her and see how they turned out. We were blown away by the finished product! They were everything we wanted, and we are so happy with our photos. She was so fantastic to work with on the day of the photos, too. Our three-year-old was a little cranky, but she was patient and kind and made us all feel so comfortable. We're a blended family, and our oldest is about to move out of state for a job after graduating from college, so these photos were really important to us. Not only did she capture moments we'll cherish forever, but she also prayed over our family at the end of our time together as we head into this season of transition. It was all so special to work with someone like Lisa, who not only shares our faith but is also a master at her craft. We will be returning customers!

Maia is simply the BEST! My Husband and I were supposed to get married in April 2020 right when the…read morepandemic hit. It was such an unpredictable time and Maia graciously worked with us on all our date changes. We definitely felt that we were more than just "business" to her and that she truly cared for us and our big day. She was both our engagement and wedding photographer and both those times she made me and my husband feel safe, comfortable, and brought out the absolute awesomeness in us! I'm definitely the type who's got a lot of insecurities but she made sure to adjust certain things like my hair, clothes, the angles to get shots that she knew I would be happy with. On our wedding day, she got things to move along since we were really behind on time. She knows what needs to be done and is efficient with her time. She was almost like a wedding coordinator to be honest. She also is just ready for anything that might happen. My dress got stained from my flowers and out of nowhere, Maia comes in with her Tide Pen and the stain is gone! Like what??? Not even my bridesmaids were prepared for that! She gave us a sneak peak of our photos the next day so that we can immediately share some photos with friends and family because of course we couldn't wait! LOL The pictures were so beautiful and captured all the moments, big and small. I look at them quite often even a year later and the emotions rush in like it just happened yesterday. The photos she took are priceless to me and my husband. I 1000% recommend Maia to all the couples in need of a photographer. We plan to book her again for future events or maybe just to get really cute couple photos.

To say that Maia is an incredibly talented photographer who captures the purest moments and makes…read moreyour dreams come true is a complete understatement. From the moment we met in our FaceTime call, I knew she was amazing and that I wanted to not only work with her, but have her in my life as a friend. She is extremely responsive and answered any and all questions, and offered to help in any way possible. From my ideas for backdrops for our engagement photos to my dreams for a hiking adventure bridal photoshoot, she listened intently and wholeheartedly to my desires and went above and beyond to bring those visions to life. On the day of our wedding, we gave her a new title of photographer ++++++++++++++ because she helped in any way possible to make sure our day was executed flawlessly. I truly cannot put into words how much I appreciate all of her hard work. And there are zero words to describe the quality of her photos, and the final product blew any expectations that I may have had completely out of the water. Seeing the ideas that I had only dreamed of come to life in her photos was an unimaginable experience. It is still difficult to truly process the magnificent artwork that has she created or us. The memories of our wedding will live forever in the images that she so beautifully captured. I cannot thank her enough, nor can I praise her and recommend her enough!!!

The photos came out absolutely amazing. Justin is such a fun, energetic, social butterfly and I feel that his personality made every single person at the wedding feel at ease. My family and friends complimented him so many times about how awesome he was. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer than Justin. I also loved that he was able to enjoy the wedding as much as we did at the very end! Let's just say it was a pretty epic night and we convinced him to party with us. Obviously no pictures were taken since I urged him not to and to just have fun, only the memories that we will all cherish. Thank you Justin for EVERYTHING that you did that day. We are truly grateful to have you with us on our wedding day.

I met Ben and…read moreKelly about two years ago when they gifted my fiance (now husband) and I with an engagement photo shoot. We also booked them for our wedding on May 24th, 2014 at the Phoenician - and they were INCREDIBLE. They captured every perfect moment, and my friends and family still rave about how genuine and kind the awesome husband and wife photographers were. Because my family and I were blown away with Ben and Kelly, my dad suggested using them for our family portrait this year. My family lives all over the country, so we had a very small window of dates that we could shoot these photos. Ben and Kelly shot our family portrait the morning of Christmas Eve and they were just as perfect as they were on my wedding day, and during my engagement shoot. Yes, they shot my family for TWO HOURS on Christmas Eve. Doesn't get much better than that! If you're lucky enough to book them, BOOK THEM EARLY! They work just about 365 days a year because that's how good they are! If you're a bride looking for photographers to capture your special day, and photographers that will remember you by name, years from now, Ben and Kelly are the ones for you. I am so happy to have found my lifetime photographers!

Ben & Kelly are rockstars! As a planner, it is such a treat to work with photographers who are as…read moretalented, organized, and FUN as these two are. Our clients have all been thrilled with the results. They take the time to meet with each client, go over their wants, needs, likes, dislikes, etc. and really get to know them as a couple.

They are soooo much fun, will do just about anything to get the perfect shot :) We love you B&K and look forward to many more weddings together!
