Both my husband and I are not natural at posing for photos, and Holly did an amazing job at making us feel comfortable and making the photography fun. She played music and we had drinks and it felt way more like just having a good time than posed photography. Holly fit into the wedding perfectly, and knew how to capture all of the right moments. After the wedding, several of our friends told us how much they enjoyed Holly and how her vibe was perfect for our event. We've also seen a handful of the photos already, and they are PERFECT! Thank you Holly!!

We definitely plan to work with him again in the future!

Booking and payment were super easy online, and communication was excellent the whole way through. We told him we got married 25 years ago on a beach somewhere on the Nevada side of South Lake Tahoe (the exact spot is still a mystery!), and when he suggested Zephyr Cove Resort Beach, we knew he was our guy. I'll admit I was more nervous than my husband, but Daniel immediately made us feel comfortable. He's easy to talk to, fun, and knows exactly how to guide you through natural poses without anything feeling fake. We were laughing (actual laughing tears!) the entire time. We had the best time. We just got our proofs back, and I am beyond thrilled. His work is beautiful!! We started at 5pm and he got all the best of the area! Unreal!! You 'd never even know it was one of the windiest days ever! I can't wait to see the full gallery. If you're in the South Lake Tahoe area and need a photographer who's talented, personable, and genuinely cares about your experience, Daniel is the one.

We were warmly greeted by one of the owners, Lisa, who quickly identified our connection to the race based on what we were wearing as we entered. She shared he had family members who had completed the race as well. She was so friendly and kind. Now to the gallery part. The entire place was decked out in Tahoe related art from photography to lacquered Tahoe-related wooden pieces, "Tahoe Fluid Art" by Megan Smith. Lisa was so excited to take us through a tour of everything she had on display. It seemed just as exciting for her to share the work as it was for us to see everything for the first time. Every piece unique and so beautiful. In my lifetime, I've wandered into countless galleries while being a visitor in town but this was the first time I absolutely could not leave without taking something home. Both my brother and I left with a Tahoe Fluid Art piece. For him, a mountain-shaped piece with gorgeous flecks of copper and fool's gold; for myself, a beautifully blue Lake Tahoe piece. These weren't exactly "bargains" (it's not a thrift store), but given how unique the pieces are and that they were created by a husband and wife team with completely different skills, the purchases were well worth the value and heart put into them. There's something to be said about "good" art. We all have our own taste, but when pieces make you feel and help you connect, it's truly something special. We found that here and recommend anyone who is in the area to stop on in for a look. Be prepared to take something home. Oh, they also ship artwork globally so don't hestitate to request that if you are unable to handcarry the artwork home! Trust me, it's so worth it!

From the start his communications were very clear, courteous and kind. He was accommodating and patient with our scheduling needs. Prior to the shoot date, Ryan took the time to visit the property and assess the light quality, angles, shadows and best time of day for taking photos. He made sure he understood our needs and priorities. He is professional and highly skilled, paying attention to the details for best results and taking pride in his work, from start to finish. We could leave the project in his hands and know the photos would turn out right. We appreciated how we were able to work together to select our favorite photos out of the many he took and create our photo shoot package. The pictures are beautiful. All around excellence.

The video is layered in such a creative way, shot in an interview style to capture the emotions of my husband and myself but also our bridal party. It is fun and playful but still kept it incredibly sincere. I couldn't be more satisfied! Isabelle, the photographer, sent me the most beautiful romantic photos I've ever seen. Really gave us that perfect twilight that we (well... I) had always dreamed of. The two of them make an incredible team and I can't wait to watch how their careers progress!

First off, the team that showed up on the day of our wedding was amazing. They arrived early, were professional, and immediately got to work. They made sure we captured every shot I had envisioned, while also bringing their own creative ideas to the table--and those ended up being some of my favorite moments from the day! Even though I've only received my sneak peeks so far, I am already blown away. The quality, the vision, and the attention to detail are all exactly what I was hoping for and more. Knowing that everything is then edited by Isabelle Westfall herself gives me even more confidence that the final product is going to be something we'll treasure forever. If you're looking for a wedding photography and videography team that is professional, creative, and truly invested in your day, I highly recommend Westfall Visuals.

Weddings are expensive and an investment, so I expect to get a good return on it. At the beginning for our engagement pics all was cool and I feeling confident about using her services. My wedding was kinda still during the height of covid, but everything seemed to be going well until the week of my wedding when I rec'd a text from her that she was not going to be able to shoot at my wedding bc she wasn't feeling well. I obviously was upset bc my contract was with her, but I had to be understanding of the situation too. What I didn't like was I had to trust a colleague of hers (Heather) who I had never met and didn't meet until my wedding day to take the best pictures possible. She did mediocre, and didn't capture very many couples pics nor family pics. (So glad I had relatives and friends who brought cameras. Most took better pics than the paid photographer, but I didn't pay them, I paid Kindred Souls for quality pics). She kinda rushed through our main pics and all the outdoor pics are hideous. Amber stated though she couldn't shoot my wedding, she'd do the editing, but she was sooo hard to get a hold of regarding status of my prints and just communication PERIOD! My wedding was in September and I didn't get my photos till mid December. I'd say I'm patient, but 4 months is ridiculous. When I sent my favorites back to her for editing I advised her they were not the clearest they could be and were too dark and to reedit. Here we are at the end of February and I still haven't heard back from Amber. Truly UNprofessional, poor customer service and a bad look on this business. They don't have to worry about me referring ANYONE to them! A waste of almost $1800, sigh.

Summary: Great experience, family friendly, accommodating, funny, high quality, will use again…read more Shoot photos can be seen here: http://www.daniellehankinson.com/edgelake-family-reunion-photos.html Our extended family has spent a week each summer at Kings Beach since 1986. It took us 26 years to realize our own attempts at family photos didn't capture the experiences the way we wished they did. My wife and I decided to get a professional pictures taken this year. We came across Danielle's website and were attracted to her work with large families as well as being a local to the kings beach area. As soon as we met Danielle, we knew it was going to be a good fit. Her humor was very similar to ours, and she knew how to apply the right amount mixed with direction to keep the process flowing. Our family covered 4 generations, with ages ranging from 84 to 18months. She was able to limit the impact and movement to the older folks while providing a treasure chest of little toys to entice the little ones. The pictures were painless, even with a group 20+ pale, squinty eyed people! After the shoot, approx 4 hrs later, Danielle returned with a projector, screen and ipad to review the photos and let us make our choices. It was so fun to sit around with the family and see the final product. This was a no pressure consultation and there was no upselling. We chose to go with a digital package allowing, us to share with the large family. We had to promise to get them printed (anywhere) eventually so they could be enjoyed and looked at every day. We continuously get complements on our photos. We also get some disbelief thinking that pictures that good can't be real. "There's no way that background is real", "That's not REALLY at Tahoe, is it?" I can't say enough good things about Danielle. She was a perfect fit for our family and I highly recommend her. As our kids grow (3 and 1.5 now) we'll definitely use her in the future.
