As a wedding coordinator, I'm always a little skeptical when working with new vendors because you never know what to expect in terms of professionalism, communication, and work ethic. Brandon exceeded every expectation. He was incredibly easy to work with, provided great direction during photos, and helped create a fun, relaxed atmosphere throughout the day. His sense of humor and lighthearted personality made the experience enjoyable for both the couple and the vendor team. From what I've seen on social media, his work is absolutely stunning, and I can't wait to see the full gallery from our event. I would confidently recommend Brandon to my clients and look forward to the opportunity to work with him again in the future.

Myro did a fantastic job getting photos of all our guests during the cocktail hour. We had several guests compliment how friendly he was and how many people he captured. In the background leading up to our wedding day, the True Photography team helped put a photography timeline that aligned with our wedding coordinator's timeline. This helped ensure we got all the photos needed included first looks, couple's portraits, family portraits, etc. No special moment was missed by the team throughout the wedding. From first looks to dancing at the end of the night, we the full story of our wedding day captured!

Though her work online already speaks for how talented she and her team are, some of the most important things that really drew us in were how kind she was, how creative she was, and how she had an answer or idea for everything we wanted and envisioned. As we reflected on our wedding day, we found ourselves constantly talking about how impressed we were with how Brittney supported us through our day, and really paid attention to the vibe we described in our meetings leading up to the day. She provides great resources so that she can get to know you and your spouse, and it's so evident on the day of the event how deeply she takes those details into mind when being present for the day, and even after while curating the final photos! We really felt like she helped create an environment that helped us live in the moment, and it was so special to us. Another thing that really attracted us to her work is how you can feel the essence of each couple she photographs, simply through these images, and we felt that way tenfold when we saw our own photos! She truly was such a joy and so much fun to work with! We just felt like we could be ourselves, and she fed a lot of positive and calming energy into our already fun/chaotic group. She's a wonderful communicator and amazing artist, and you can tell she loves what she does. Thank you for being there for our special day and seriously 11/10 would recommend over and over again!

There are truly not enough words to describe how grateful my fiancée and I are for Son and…read moreStephanie. I had been brainstorming my proposal for months but lacked the structure to actually execute the plan. I always knew I wanted a Laguna Beach proposal and wanted to capture the moment so we could relive it forever. However, living in Southern California, there are so many unpredictable variables like weather, tide levels, and crowd sizes. Realizing I needed professional help, I began researching local photographers. It must have been fate, because my exact Google search was "last minute photo shoots near me," which led me straight to Son and Stephanie Le. Their story and background in professional photography instantly resonated with me, so I sent an inquiry at midnight and within minutes, Son got back to me and we got right to work. Throughout the entire process, Son guided me through every logistical detail. On the day of the proposal, he and Stephanie scouted the entire area ahead of time and even prepared alternative backup options for peace of mind. Thanks to their incredible support, I was able to pull off a flawless surprise proposal and deliver a heartwarming speech, which they beautifully recorded for us! The photoshoot itself was our absolute favorite part. Son and Stephanie made us feel completely at ease, ensuring we got the best photos at the most optimal angles. We had so much fun and genuinely enjoyed their company throughout the entire session. To top it off, they professionally edited our favorite shots and delivered them to us in less than a week! When you partner with a team like Son and Stephanie, you aren't just hiring people who know how to work a camera. You are working with dedicated professionals who will help you execute your dream proposal from start to finish, handling all the stress so you can focus on what truly matters. Bria and I are so incredibly grateful for you both, and we truly hope to see your business continue to prosper!

We hired this company twice for real estate photography, and after both experiences I would NOT…read morerecommend them. Their photography and editing process relies heavily on bracketing, HDR processing, AI techniques, and outsourced post-production, resulting in photos that looked extremely overprocessed, artificial, and nothing like the home. The editing seemed to compensate for shortcomings in the photography itself. If the images were properly captured and processed, they shouldn't require this level of manipulation. Instead, the final product looked fake, with unrealistic colors and heavy-handed edits. After waiting eight weeks, we still couldn't use the photos to list our home. The biggest issue wasn't just the low quality--it was getting anyone to fix the mistakes. The salesperson, Kate, was genuinely kind and promised all the right things in the beginning, but once the project reached production, communication completely fell apart. We had productive phone calls. I sent detailed lists of corrections with screenshots, then received responses saying they were completed. Then, discovered only part of the list had actually been addressed. This happened repeatedly, requiring constant follow-up. Our Matterport and Zillow tours had mislabeled rooms, and an entire back portion of the house was missing from the floor plans. By the time those issues were finally corrected, we had exchanged 43+ emails and dozens of phone calls over six weeks, and each revision still only fixed part of the list. We finally got the floor plans and tours close enough to done. The photos still weren't right. Some were oversaturated, including a completely fake "dusk" shot that was not actually taken at dusk--it had a pink sky added along with a dirty darkening filter that made the street in front of the house look grimy. We were charged extra for that. Other areas of the home appeared smeared from AI processing, while the brass hardware pulls on the primary closet and bathroom were grayed out. The most baffling example: our white walls kept coming back gray. I even requested the RAW files to understand what was happening during the editing process. The RAW files showed that the original color information was accurate--the walls were white and off-white and the colors were natural. The unrealistic gray walls and closets were introduced during editing and no one would fix it. After several weeks of back-and-forth, I asked to speak directly with Cody, the owner and fellow real estate professional, who explained that his editing team had decided to make them gray because a previous property we had photographed with them had gray walls. I was astounded --- he promised it would be corrected in the next round of revisions and he'd get back to me. He never did. I went back to Marylou in production and waited for days. First, she claimed my email went into her spam folder. 5 days later, another set of revisions came back - everything still gray, previously removed shadows were added back in, edits we had updated this far were now gone - back to square one. The low quality photos we received look nothing like these examples shown on this Yelp page. Our first project had similar issues, but Cody had stepped in and made corrections early on so I certainly didn't expect to have this happen again. Unfortunately, the same photographer, Joe, was assigned to our second project, and we experienced the same problems again. The quality issues, unrealistic edits, and need for extensive corrections were repeated by his off shore editing team. The lack of quality control and endless revision cycle were, in my opinion, profoundly unprofessional - especially considering that Cody and his team were all made aware that my husband is the Realtor and that we are selling this home. I'd hate to think this was intentional. This wasn't just an inconvenience. Because we couldn't get usable marketing materials for nearly two months, we missed a critical listing window. We requested a refund due to the proven quality issues and ongoing revisions that were not resolved over 8 weeks of time, but Cody refused. If you're a homeowner or Realtor with a time-sensitive listing, I would NEVER hire this company. We gave them every opportunity to make things right and still ended up without photographs we could confidently use to market our home.
