Not only did I…read morelove Kim's personality and wonderful energy, but the photo's turned out amazing for a great price. So happy to have met Kim and her husband and happy that they were able to share our wedding with us. I loved that they were as excited to be shooting at the San Diego Zoo as we were to be getting married there. They loved the animals and it showed in the pictures. Can not say enough wonderful things about them. She came all the way out to Thousand Oaks to do a marketing shoot for me. Those pictures were exactly what I needed and came out perfect.

Dudes, Kim is just SOO awesome, you have NO idea... until you book her that is!…read more Kim's got skills, here you are, just doing your thing, & as she's snapping away, she somehow works voodoo & get's THE AWESOMEST pictures without you even working the camera! And by the way, did I mention how awesome she is? She is seriously, just a down to earth, chill, funny, honest & real person. I mean, how many times can you say on your first phone call to your vendor you spoke for over an hour, of which, the first 30 mins or less was about the actual shoot, the rest was about anything under the sun cuz you clicked (pun potentially intended) well THAT much! You may think... "Nahhh, I'm not photogenic" "Ooo, what about the 50 lbs I gained since high school, do I have to pay for them to be in the shoot too?" "Great pictres are going to cost me AT LEAST a bajillion dollars!" Don't fret, Kim's got this. She will make you look like a million bucks, without having to spend a bajillion of your own!

As evident from her website, her photography and editing skills are exceptional. However, what truly sets Linda apart is the meticulous planning she puts into each session. She goes above and beyond to bring your vision for the shoot to life by leveraging her extensive knowledge of the San Diego area. Whether it's choosing the perfect location, timing the shoot, or identifying the best shooting spots, Linda ensures that every detail is meticulously considered. All in all, I cannot recommend her enough!

It took me over six months for me to even get my pictures and then I made a mistake by referring her to one of my in-laws for their wedding and not only did it take her well over six months to get her pictures but she had to message her 1000 times plus to get her pictures! Then when she's confronted, she wants to act all nice and make you feel that she understands and she's getting them to you and gives you all of these excuses. I confronted her to figure out why she never sent the photo album that she promised due to the lack of time of receiving her pictures and she said well I stop doing photography because she couldn't afford. It Then she says she doesn't do photography anymore and all of a sudden now she does photography again. And when I confronted her that she's doing photography again, she deleted me and blocked me. 100% advice to sue her. So much for being a Christian. I mean she's hypocritical just like all the rest. And no still to this day she has not received the photo album she was promised. Sophia does nothing but says what you wanna hear. And never follow through. What a waste of money.

The morning after someone gets married shouldn't be spent in tears, right? And I'm not talking…read morehappy, blissful tears, but sad, angry tears. Well, that's how I spent the morning after my wedding when my husband and I realized that our wedding photographer FORGOT....yes, FORGOT....to take photos of just he and I together. Wait...I take that back. She took 2 of "just" us: 1 of which lollipops were covering the lower half of each of our faces; the 2nd photograph we were kissing behind a giant lollipop (we had a Willy Wonka themed wedding). After about 2 hours of crying and sounding like a true sailor, I took a deep breath and decided I would not let this prevent us from getting the type of photographs we wanted. If I was able to coordinate my makeup artist, hair stylist, and florist for the same day, it would actually be BETTER. We got married at a friend's home, and although beautiful, there's only so much you can do in someone's back yard. Plus, we would have TIME to get the shots we wanted. A friend offered to be our photographer, and I was able to coordinate hair, makeup, and flowers for 3 weeks after the wedding. About 2 weeks prior to the re-shoot, I reached out to my friend to touch base and didn't hear back. I reached out again, and didn't hear back. I started freaking out because our re-shoot was fast approaching, and I had about a week and a half to find someone. And given our financial situation, because we hadn't planned on having to re-do the bouquet, hair, etc., I needed to find someone who was willing to work with us. I was scrolling through Facebook to ease my stress, when I stumbled upon an album of an aspiring model by Loud Love Photography in my newsfeed. The photos caught my eye. I loved the use of color and how the smallest edit changed the whole mood of the photograph. I checked out the website, and decided I really wanted to work with Sarah. I sent her an email explaining the situation, and heard back within that same morning. She was available, and was very understanding of our situation! We talked about what I wanted out of the shoot, and the vibe I was going for. She totally understood. She was very responsive, both via email and text, which I greatly appreciated. So often I've sent emails to people and have wondered if they've disappeared into an abyss....definitely not the case with Sarah. Her communications put me at ease and I was really looking forward to working with her. Our photo shoot was at Seaport Village, and Sarah was great to work with. She arrived before we did, and helped us carry our props to our first location. Sarah is super sweet and fun, and so accommodating. She wanted to ensure WE had the photos WE wanted, and was open to our suggestions for shots and offered her own as well (which we ended up loving). After the shoot, Sarah said she would send us a teaser but the actual photos, with edits, would take about 2 weeks. We were totally fine with that - I was just happy to work with her and have the opportunity to get the shots we were unable to get on our wedding day. So, expecting to receive the photos in 2 weeks, I couldn't believe it when she emailed me 3 days later letting me know they were ready! I was SOOOOO happy! When I looked at them, I was incredibly impressed. The photos were beautiful...the lighting, the angles...everything. I felt as though she truly captured "us" in the photographs. We're playful and pretty silly and goofy, and that's reflected in the photos. There are 2 photographs in particular which ended up unexpectedly being a couple of my favorite shots from the afternoon: 1 photograph was my husband and I playing around with lobster traps, and the second was the Coronado skyline as seen through the tulle of my dress. So simple, but I would have never thought of that, and I LOVE that picture! Although I still have a bit of steam escape from my ears when I think about our wedding photographer and her "forgetfulness," I can't help but see that as a blessing in disguise. We were able to take the time to get the types of shots we wanted with a wonderful photographer. My husband and I could not be happier with our photos. If you're looking for a photographer to capture those special moments in your life, or even the everyday, go with Sarah and Loud Love Photography. Professional, responsive, and creative...you can't go wrong! I can't wait to work with her again!

We are very grateful for Amanda and highly recommend her!

Scary that this lady is in business. First off, she doesn't respond very well to emails. She picked…read morea random time for us to show up, when we had only agreed on a date. Then once we get there, she says how awful the light is, that no photos will come out. (yes, it had become a bit overcast). But then, she insults my wife's wardrobe! "Is that what you are planning on wearing?" with condescending tone. Then she says "I just don't like it." Really?! For someone who is in any service business that is astonishing Then she says we should reschedule for a different day. She showed us some photos, on her computer from a "good day" and a "bad day". None of them looked like anything better than what you or I could take with our camera. To make matters worse she could not even get our names right (even after being corrected 3 times for each of us!).

I was nervous since I didn't know anything about the photographer but I am sooo happy I did it! Lauren is amazing. She is a very down-to-earth person which instantly put me at ease. She has had a very extensive career both in front of and behind the camera so she knows all of the tricks. I felt Lauren did an amazing job on my makeup (I can only do the basics!). It looked very polished and professional. During the one hour session, we had two wardrobe changes outside and two inside. Cedros Avenue is a cool little street and Lauren was able to find some great places to take pictures. After the session, she uploaded the digital proofs in the same day! I was able to look through them in them at home and send the link to friends and family to help decide which pictures I should go with. Her prices for the digital proofs are very reasonable. I highly recommend Lauren Taylor Photography to anyone. I used her for professional photos but I saw some really great pictures she took of families, expecting mothers, weddings and portraits around her studio. I will definitely use her services again in the future.

Our engagement shoot was the first time I met her, but it felt like we had known her forever. We received a sneak peak at both sessions of photos very quickly. Then when we received all of the final edits, we were blown away. We couldn't believe the magic she was able to capture. Thank you providing us with all the magic memories Valerie!

I decided to take a look at her Instagram and see if her style fit what I was looking for. (Psst. Her Instagram is https://instagram.com/valerielendvay?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) I instantly knew she was going to be great. She had a lot of engaging photos with couples that genuinely seemed to love each other compared to the rigid, stiff wedding photos I was seeing with other photographers. I reached out to her and she got back to me quickly. We chatted on the phone several times before the wedding and she was super sweet and answered all of my questions. She completely understood when I said I hate it when wedding photographers take the floating, "haunted dress" photo. We live a little far from Escondido/San Diego so the first time I met Valerie in person was the day of my wedding. But she made me and my wife so comfortable, it was like we had been friends for years! She was a ton of fun to have at the wedding , snapping photos while dancing with me and my bridal party. She got us our sneak peek photos quickly and I have to say, they are incredible! Thanks for being the most amazing photographer and new friend!
