I must of rescheduled 3 times, I felt so bad but Calder was so cool and made it work. One of the bedrooms was not ready for photos.... Calder digitally removed all the scattered items and the room showed well. What I love the most about his work is that he does not over enhance the photos. That is a huge pep peeve for me. Over enhancing photos is a disappointment for people when they are shopping for homes. I love the quality of the golden lens brings ! Thank you guys for always making my listings shine and a HUGE THANK YOU FOR YOUR FLEXIBILITY! I highly recommend them for your next project!

He is THE BEST and for the value, he is excellent. He works with many of the top agents all over San Diego. One thing that sets him apart is the fact that I always have some teaser photos immediately so I can start the syndication for my listings and then within 24-48 hours I have amazing edited photos which my sellers are always amazed at. The twilight photos blow everyone away and make the listing landing photo stand out. He is very collaborative and if you happen to have your sellers around before or after the photo shoot, he is very professional. In addition, I have used him for homecoming, prom, and graduation photos. I have a long-standing relationship with his team over 7 years and he is on time and has quick turn times.

We love Cece, she is extremely good at what she does, she's so professional and went above and…read morebeyond to make us feel comfortable at her in home studio. My newborn was NOT having it and was crying and fussy the whole shoot yet Cece was so patient and idk how she did it but every picture she shot looked so perfect. I specifically chose her because her portfolio was full of so many creative and unique poses that I hadn't seen elsewhere, she has so many props, outfits and accessories to choose from. We loved her work so much so that we went back for our sons first birthday shoot and were not disappointed. We loved every unique and fun shot she planned, I told her what I wanted and this woman delivered. You will not be disappointed!

Absolutely loved my daughter's cake smash pictures!…read more Everything from the consultation, the shoot and ordering was so stress free and easy. Cecelia is a very kind-hearted lady and her photos all came out beautiful. She's the only photographer my 1 year old would smile for & actually liked. On the day of the shoot I didn't have enough time to put makeup on and was so insecure but she made me feel proud to go natural. The shoot was so fun that even my husband enjoyed it. Check out her website to view more of her beautiful work! I was convinced right away and was so happy to have her capture a big milestone for my babygirl.

We are eternally grateful for the Fate Studios Team!!! We did our engagement shoot with David and…read moreloved everything about his energy and passion that is definitely necessary for photos when we tend to feel awkward behind the lens, but he makes it so fun!!! Never a dull moment and always laughing and good vibes! So we knew they were the right people to shoot for our wedding day! David, Kaye, Jerome, and Germaine were so fun to work with on our wedding day. They brought their kindness and patience, as I can only understand how long of a day it can be but they were troopers all day and kept us motivated! Makes me want to get into photography because of them!! You can tell how well they work as a team, along with communication and being flexible with anything and everything! I hope they know the energy they all exude will flourish with all the love in the photos and videos felt that day! THANK YOU GUYSSSSS!!! See you for the maternity photoshoot HAHA! ;)

The Fate Studios team was truly amazing! David, Jerome, and their team of photographers and…read morevideographers are true professionals. My wife came across them on Yelp! and we hired them to do the photo and video shoot for my parents' 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary. Mind you, we hired them less than a month before the actual event. David and Jerome took the time to do a phone call with us and walk through the entire itinerary of the day from the ceremony at Mission San Diego through the entire reception at the Gaylord Pacific. I really enjoyed working with all of them. They were so kind, warm, and detail oriented. I can't say enough about Fate Studios and how they made this event a truly memorable event! I also pitched an idea to Jerome about doing an AI video of my parents, describing their love story and how they met 50 years ago in the Philippines. Jerome has years of experience as a filmmaker in the Philippines and has worked for one of their large TV networks there, so he's a pro. I was nervous that we wouldn't have enough time to take this video from start to finish, but Jerome assured me that he could deliver. We presented the surprise AI video to my parents after we showed their slide show and the crowd was truly mesmerized! Many of our guests told me that the AI video was an awesome concept. But let me say that David, Jerome, and their team were awesome! I feel as though I gained some friends for life. The second I met them in person it felt like I had known them for a long time. They also knew how to get my parents to take pictures. You know, once you get older the excitement for these kinds of things is not the same as when you first got married :). So if you need a great team of folks who just make you feel at ease with a big event, look no further! Fate Studios is an amazing team and I encourage anyone who is looking for photographers/videographers to give them a call. They are well worth it!

My husband and I met with him weeks before our wedding to discuss the setting of our venue, about our guests and he also wanted to know about us and how we met It was really neat for a photographer to want to get to know us before our big day. The day of our wedding we felt like Eric was already a friend of ours. We both felt comfortable with him around. He was on time and ready to go! We didn't have to direct him in any way. He was professional and friendly! He was patient and willing to go with the flow when needed. He made sure to capture every moment of our big day, priceless! A week later we received our photos, simply AMAZING! We couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out! So much detail in every shot. the color/lighting/poses were beautiful. The candid photos were classic! I highly recommend Eric DeSerra for your next event:) (did I mention he is affordable as well:)

This is our fourth time hiring Eva to be our photographer and once again she totally killed it!…read moreWhen we booked her through her website (which is totally easy) we saw her beautiful photos that she had taken at Sunset Cliffs in San Diego and decided on that location. Eva sent us a location at Sunset Cliffs for us to meet her at and we were able to find her easily. She had all kinds of cool spots at Sunset Cliffs for us to take photos. Our photographs came out incredible!! I am beyond thrilled by the results. Trust Eva's instincts, she will make your pictures come out so stunning. Eva is so pleasant to work with. She makes us feel so comfortable and at ease. We constantly recommend her and are always asked who takes our Christmas card photographs each year. We look forward to booking her again next year.

Hector is nothing short of amazing. It was a week before our wedding when our original wedding…read morephotographer cancelled. What bride-to-be wouldn't be panicking?! After reading numerous photographer reviews and looking through several galleries, one very in particular caught my eye. I contacted Zouls Photography. To our advantage, Hector was available and willing to capture our wedding day! Almost instantly, we were in contact and Hector wanted to know more about my fiancé (at the time) and I. We spoke on the phone multiple times, developing a friendship! He asked us questions individually to prepare for a more personable shoot. When we met for the first time on our actual wedding day, it was as if we've known Hector for years! He is so warm and welcoming. As the bride and groom, our day was a little hectic- from mingling with guests, to our first dance, cutting the cake-- and everything in between. I was quite worried I wouldn't get the shots I wanted. But guess what! Hector topped my expectations AND MORE-- all behind the scenes. Each time I look at our wedding photos, I am reminded of how special our day was. My husband and I get to relive each special moment through our beautiful photos! One year later, my husband and I are expecting a little miracle. I had no doubt in my mind that I wanted Hector to capture our maternity shoot! I contacted him and we set a date. Our maternity shoot was definitely more intimate, as it was just my husband and I-- plus Hector (whether you've just met or you've known him for years) makes you feel extra comfortable and beautiful! I didn't think my expectations could be blown out of the water and that I would ever see a photo MORE beautiful than my wedding day. Wrong! Yet again, Hector did a fantastic job! Looking through our maternity gallery, I am speechless and I cry tears of joy.

All my guests commented on his amazing energy and work-ethic. I am extremely grateful to have had him shoot our wedding. The photos are breathtaking and better than we ever imagined.

It turned out, for me and my now wife, to be lots of fun and best of all, we received photos that we will enjoy for the rest of our lives. Thanks again Hector!

I just had a maternity shoot with Celi & oh my goodness I am in love with the photos!…read more With an almost two year old we had a rough morning.... I didn't think any of the family photos would be usable :P my daughter is not one to pose and stay still. Celi was so kind and brought blocks for her to play with. She loved them & they helped to distract during the shoot. Celi's patience and flexibility with us put me at ease as we took some solo photos, some with just my husband and I, and family shots whenever our daughter would sit still. Great turn around time with the photos as well. Often times you hear it could take weeks for other photographers to have them ready. Thankful to have Celi capture this time as we grow into a family of four!
