We are so happy we found Christina, amid all the options out there. When we decided to elope in…read moreSequoia National Park instead of doing a big wedding, we had high hopes for some beautiful photos - and Christina totally exceeded our vision, giving us stunning photos we cannot stop staring at! We were both so impressed with the way Christina showed off the epic scenery while also showcasing us as a couple. Christina has such an amazing combination of creativity and professionalism. Locking down the date for the wedding turned out to be a hassle due to closures at Sequoia all Spring, yet Christina just planned out several backup plans and we felt so much better. Her expert knowledge of the area and years of experience shooting elopements in the mountains helped immensely as we dealt with the park's uncertainty. She's an expert communicator and planner who can give you an agenda for the whole day if you want, or can be very flexible and accommodating to our own plans. She really cared about our unique ideas and wanted to collaborate. In the end, all her planning paid off and our wedding adventure went off without a hitch! Our photos are truly amazing and authentic to our special day, and I know they're going to bring us joy forever.

A couple of years ago, we went to a wedding where Peter was the photographer. When the newly weds…read moreshared the wedding photos with us a month or so later, we were blown away. We loved the natural style of the photography, and the dance floor pictures were INSANE. Fast forward two years later, and it was our turn to get married. We absolutely did not shop around, we knew we wanted Peter to photograph our day. Peter is awesome, simply put. He arrived on our wedding day a good hour earlier than the start of the contract, just to walk around and snap shots of the premises. He was so visibly excited about the beauty of the location, you could just tell he was really having fun and was excited to snap some good shots. We caught Peter running around snapping candid and thoughtful shots. He seriously captured everything we would have wanted him to capture, and we never gave him any direction of what we wanted photographed! Of course, the dance floor pictures were incredible. Peter has this technique that makes the dancing pictures absolutely come to life. He was also dancing with everyone and just having a really good time. The day after our wedding, so many of our guests were asking about this mysterious bearded photographer who was having a blast, haha! I can't thank Peter enough. I wouldn't hesitate for a second if you're thinking of working with A Fierce Love photography.

Having Peter photograph our wedding was THE BEST decision we made…read more Peter is one of those special humans you come across every now and then -- a stranger who feels like home. His care, joy, and support made my spouse and me (who both feel awkward in-front of the camera) feel incredibly comfortable. The service he provides is incredible. He communicates quickly and clearly, is flexible and warm, and really listened to our desires for the day. He is a master of his art and his experience is palpable, as can be seen in the final photos. We have so much love and gratitude for Peter and A Fierce Love, we could not recommend more!!!

I've known Corey since we were kids. Certainly, I'm biased in his favor, but the reason I keep…read morereturning to him for photography is because he's fantastic. He has an eye for people and settings and the finished work really has a sense of life to it. Just go to his website and you can see he's good. My most recent photography session was extremely important to me: I needed a photo for my book jacket. My book is steampunk, so the clothing and the mood is important. Corey and I talked it over--what I needed, what kind of setting, what I would wear. We did the photos in China Alley in Hanford. The results--wow. It was hard to choose one photograph to send along to my publisher. My past sessions with Corey have also involved my young son, who is autistic. It can be hard for my little guy to focus or smile on command. Corey was very patient and gentle. He even gave my son a job to distract him for a little while, carrying some stuff around, so that my husband and I could get our pictures together.

I was lucky enough to win a photo shoot with Corey Ralston Photography in 2009. It was Fall, so it…read morewas perfect timing for a family portrait with me, my husband and my little dog. Corey was very accessible and it was easy discussing what we wanted--something festive and outdoors for our first-ever Christmas postcard. On the day of the shoot, we met Corey at a beautiful country estate location that he had told us about. We all had such a lovely afternoon with him as he helped us find fun, yet comfortable & natural poses. He even had a blanket prepared, so we could take some shots lying on the grass, while not getting dirty. Corey has a great personality, and it's very easy to open up to him and joke around allowing him to capture your real laughs and smiles--not the overly stiff or phony facial expressions that you see all too commonly at your generic big box McPhoto studio. Now, I don't think it's easy working with animals, but Corey didn't show any signs of frustration, worry or fear when working with our dog. In fact, he captured some really adorable expressions from that grumpy little guy! Now that's a miracle! When we got the photos back, we were so thrilled to see that there were so many good ones to choose from for our postcard! Ultimately, we found one photo that we loved more than the others (it was a hard decision--they were all fantastic!) and used it for our holiday post card. We got a lot of great responses from our family and friends from that post card--one relative even told us that they almost threw it away because it looked like a professional advertisement. Slick! I'm so glad I got to have a photo shoot with Corey, and I HIGHLY recommend him!

She is so positive and outgoing. We booked her right away without a second thought. And boy and I SO HAPPY we did. Our wedding package came with an engagement session. So we met Laurie in Visalia to do our engagement pictures in the blooms, and I have never seen such AMAZING pictures taken of my groom and I. She has a way with people and children, and even my husband really enjoyed our first photo shoot! She is great with communication and has everything organized on a timeline, and even though I was a hour late from our start time, she had the most optimistic attitude and jumped right in and took the lead! All of my wedding party and guest had nothing but amazing things to say about her, and how polite, sweet and upbeat she is! We will be using her for all family pictures from now on! You won't find better, especially for the price! Thank you so much Laura for everything!

Angela Eller photography is phenomenal for newborn photos! After shopping around for a…read morephotographer we took our 2 week old there and the entire experience was second to none. It starts off with a consultation where she shows you numerous examples of her creative photos. She will then work with you as to what elements and poses you were looking to have done. She then presented her price list and package deals. Her prices are very reasonable and once you see the magic she can do with a camera, any reservations about pricing will quickly fade. On the day of the shoot her private studio was very warm and comfortable(might I also add it is a very clean and professional studio). She worked quickly and efficiently through the session and was very gentle and loving towards our baby, he never even fussed once! The sitting area where my wife and I observed everything from was very comfortable and stocked with snacks and drinks. Finally, she will schedule a day where you come back to review the pictures and make your package selections. Seeing the absolute beauty and whimsy she was able to capture was astonishing. We are both nothing short of 110 percent satisfied and will not hesitate to recommend her to everyone!
