My photo session was only meant to be an hour long but he took more time to make sure he took lots of photos that I would like. I did the photo session just because with my bf for no special reason. So the out come of the photos were fine with me. I probably wouldn't use him for my engagement photos or wedding. Until he got more experience.

Thank you Andrew

Chantel is the ideal photographer to work with. We've had limited experience with photographers…read moreoutside of quick studio portraits, and Chantel has made it impossible to ever want to go back! I remember past sessions in the picture people and jcpenny studios, and highly regarded photographers my siblings have used for their weddings - but I'll be honest, none of those times was as comfortable and relaxed and fun as when Chantel Hunt shot portraits for our family. I think that is the key to a successful photo shoot - for everybody in the pictures to have fun and be relaxed. Chantel did not rush us or have us even mindful of the time - We had no clue of the time lol. Many shots were taken - many poses and variations of who was in the shot. We shot at 2 different locations: in the open field where the mustard flowers were blooming and in the almond orchard. Beautiful. Chantel was able to take the most beautiful photos in both locations and in all of the different situations. After the session we were super happy, unlike our relieved and overwhelmed feeling when we had pictures done in the past lol. It was such a chore before, but because of Chantels personality and care and relaxed vibe, mixed with her knowing exactly what to do for the different poses and situations, it was a breeze for us - an absolute breeze. Chantel is a true professional, disguised as the sweet person you know and love, that is easy to talk to and is easy to be around. Needless to say, our photos are the absolute best we've ever had done. Perfect shots, perfect editing, perfect moments, perfect setting - All delivered in a short amount of time and currently being arranged and hung up in our home. Thank you so much Chantel for the great experience and the gifts The Rosal Family

I've been meaning to write this review for years but have never gotten around to it. What I have to…read moresay is Steve has photographed me and my siblings since our graduations. He's done senior portraits and most recently he did my wedding. Avalon is truly the best in the business. He always delivers stunning photos in a reasonable amount of time. But I have to say the "Crown Jewel" of Avalon is their reliability. Steve was LITERALLY hit by a car on the morning of our wedding.....and he STILL CAME TO PHOTOGRAPH IT! If a car accident won't stop him from doing his job to the best of his ability then nothing will! 10/10 Recommend Avalon.

Best wedding photographer ever. During my search for a wedding photographer, I called several…read moredifferent photographers in the area. Steve at Avalon struck me as extremely knowledgeable, as he was able to answer my barrage of technical questions with ease and confidence. It was clear that he has been doing photography for a very long time and really knows what he's doing. At some point, I had a phone conversation with another wedding vendor in Chico that made me call and book Avalon immediately after I hung up. This wedding vendor asked which photographers I was considering, and when I listed Avalon, she said that she had gotten married herself just the year before, and hired Avalon to do her wedding. As a wedding vendor in the area, she is familiar with many of the local photographers, and said that Steve is the best. So I called him right away to book him. I am VERY happy I did so! Steve at Avalon did my engagement shoot and wedding photos. For the services he offers, he is very affordable. The other photographer, Alicia, who helped shoot the wedding, also did an amazing job. They are both extremely kind people, and very professional. They had lots of tricks to get people to smile and laugh genuinely, and captured so many sweet and funny candid moments. Also, I can't say enough about the lighting--the lighting in the photos was incredible! They knew exactly where to position everyone down to the inch in order to work the setting to the best advantage. I have gotten so many comments from guests saying, "Wow--your photographer was so good!" or "They really knew what they were doing!" I've attached some examples of the amazing photos that Steve and Alicia took. Thank you so much to Avalon for capturing my wedding so thoroughly that we won't ever forget a moment of it! I can't wait for my next excuse to hire you again!

I hate to be submitting this review because I enjoy supporting local artists. However, I'm…read moregenuinely at a loss on what other avenues to take. The goal of this review is to protect others from getting into a similar situation as my current--this photographer, Aurora, owner of Wild at Hart Imagery, having photos of me (and my friend) and not releasing them or responding to any form of communication. Not to mention the paid sitting fees, the time, the energy, the outfits, and the gas it took to drive to Magalia. All things I was willing to pay in exchange for high-quality photos. Unfortunately, Aurora didn't hold her end of the bargain. SHE NEVER SENT THE PHOTOS -- I was ready to pay several hundred dollars to have her edit the entire session of photos. Please execute caution before booking this photographer. Her website looks professional, and her photos are pretty -- her communication skills are sub-par, and, it's likely, you'll never see your photos. I wish I'd been warned, so consider this my warning. My heart is broken, these photos marked a milestone and were very sentimental to us, and unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to fix it. I have nothing to capture that moment in our life because Aurora decided we weren't worthy of communication and receiving our end product. It has been 5+ weeks since our photoshoot together -- maybe Aurora will see this review and finally respond to me.

I came across her when I was expecting my daughter in 2020, I loved her style, communication & she was the most affordable photographer, also I didn't have to pay extra to print or post my photos ! So far she's done my Maternity, newborn, sunflower mini, fall mini, Valentine's Day mini AND a mommy & me session. She will be my go-to for engagement & wedding photos in the future. I've never had a bad photo from her even with a screaming newborn! Best part? SHE TRAVELS. Want photos in a different state ? She's your girl ! Thanks for everything over the last year & 1/2 Brey!!

Thankfully Brey was available and extremely helpful and assisted me through the whole booking process, it felt like I was working with a dear friend the whole time. I've never booked a professional photographer for an event before so I was bit nervous about the whole thing but she made me feel so comfortable and taken care of in the weeks prior and on the day. She arrived to the city hall location early and was ready to take photos right away, she caught great images of our small group of guests arriving, small moments here and there and wonderful portrait shots of both me, my husband and the whole group together at the ceremony, later at a local park and then at our small reception dinner. She didn't mind driving around the the city a bit to our 3 different locations and kept a positive and friendly attitude the whole time. The images she took of us as a couple are just amazing. We look so happy and in love, she made us feel so at ease the whole time. I can't wait to share the memories for years to come and with our friends and family who couldn't attend. She's very aware of the types of poses required for a great looking wedding album. I just received the images yesterday, earlier than expected and I'm just blown away by how good we all look! The hard part is picking which prints I want to put up on the wall. I can't imagine sharing our day with a better photographer, thanks Brey!
