Sam is the BEST. The only guy I trust to take my personal and business photos. His photos are…read morehonest, not overblown or fake. I've used others and just can't use anyone else at this point. He's been taking my photos for 7 years in a row (I do them annually) -- Also, his sessions are very relaxed and not as "set up" as some photographers so... his process allows for more better and representative photos. Highly Recommend!!

If you're in need of professional head shots, use Sam. Period. He's easy to work with, has great…read moreexperience doing corporate shoots, and blends professionalism with a creative touch. Communication was seamless from start to finish. He was quick to understand the style I was aiming for and provided great direction. During the session, Sam really showed his expertise and made the whole process enjoyable. His demeanor and personality put me at ease in front of the camera and resulted in great shots! The turnaround time was quick, and the quality was excellent. I'd highly recommend Sam for anyone who wants a set of professional head shots that don't look like everything else out there.

Working with Dipan was everything I could ask for. We've hired photographers for our wedding,…read morehousewarming, while traveling internationally, etc. and nothing comes close to the attention to detail and patience that Dipan displayed during our session. Our two doggies were highly anxious and a bit distracting but Dipan knew how to work with them perfectly all while capturing the dynamic I had expressed I was looking for. I'm looking forward to receiving the photos but the previews he already shared look incredible. These memories will last a lifetime and we look forward to working with Dipan to capture future milestones.

My husband and I worked with Dipan for our wedding, and he was fantastic to work with…read more He and Carissa were both there to help take photos of us getting ready at the hotel, getting married at the chapel, and then celebrating at the reception. They were punctual, efficient, professional, and just a wonderful team to cover everything at our wedding. It worked out really well because Dipan was with the groomsmen as they were getting ready while Carissa was with us (the bride + bridesmaids), so that even though we had less than an hour for getting ready shots, they managed to get everything we needed. We had gotten married at Wayfarers, and if anyone knows about that venue, it is that the chapel has a lot of rules/time limits. Dipan is one of their recommended vendors, so we were grateful that he knew the rules well and knew exactly when/where to take the pictures so that we wouldn't miss a thing. Dipan was also great in telling us how to pose since we asked for + needed a lot of direction. He also has a very calming presence so that we didn't feel stressed or nervous while posing. All the photos turned out AMAZING and we really could not recognize ourselves because the photos were just so good and beautiful. Dipan is truly wonderful to work with, and we would recommend him for any wedding or event!

Tim is amazing! My husband and I traveled to California to get our engagement pictures taken by…read morehim. It was our first time getting our photos taken by a professional and we are more than happy it was with Tim. He made us feel so comfortable and made the experience fun. It ended up raining on our scheduled day, but that didn't interfere with anything at all. Instead, it created a core memory. We loved our engagement photos so much that we hired Tim to take our wedding photos in Las Vegas! He had a team of 4 travel to Vegas to capture our special day with photography and videography. I'd recommend Tim to anybody and everybody. My husband and I are forever grateful for him for capturing our most favorite days :)

Tim did such an amazing job with our "headshot" shoot, which included professional headshots &…read morefun/silly poses. He provided recommendations on different poses and kept the atmosphere of the photo shoot fun, positive and lighthearted. I had to submit a professional headshot to my company's marketing team to upload to our website, so once I received the photos from Tim- I was able to select the best one (which was hard to do because they all looked great!) to turn in for the assignment. My boss even complimented my photo and told me that it motivated him to take new photos for his pic. Thanks for an amazing shoot, Tim!!

Hiring Ellie as our wedding photographer was the best decision I made while planning my wedding!…read moreEllie is so sweet and made us feel extremely comfortable while taking photos. My husband and I never know how to pose for photos, but at our request, Ellie provided detailed instructions for recreating the poses I wanted to capture on our wedding day. I recommend Ellie to anyone who will be your biggest cheerleader the day of your wedding and capture the loving, romantic mood of the day.

Ellie is an amazing photographer! We did a 20 minute mini session with two toddlers! It was…read moreincredibly chaotic, but somehow Ellie managed to create beautiful, editorial-like photos for us. She was very sweet the whole time and made everyone very comfortable in a short period of time. The process of getting the photos back was very quick! She is also very communicative with any questions! Definitely booking more shoots in the future with her.

If you're looking for a photographer, look no further. Jae is your man. If you are even considering…read moreJae, email him now because he books faaast! I mean, look at all his reviews. They are literally paragraphs of praise. You know when you've been looking forward to something for a really long time and you wonder if it will live up to your crazy high expectations? And somehow those expectations get blown out of the water? That was my experience with Jae. I've been following his work for over 5 years, knowing that whenever I got married, he had to be the one to photograph it. When you know, you know, right? I knew he was gonna be the photographer in our wedding before I even knew who I was getting married to! I reached out to Jae about 3 months before our wedding to find out that someone was already asking about our date. I asked for a consultation meeting for the very next day and booked him on the spot. Jae told me he got even more requests for that date in the coming weeks. So again, pro-tip: email her now. photos, it looks like people posed to fit a specific shot... I feel like with our photos, you can really see our personalities shine through. Because of that, we will cherish these photos forever.

On an unseasonably warm day in February, we met up with Jae at a park near downtown that we never…read moreknew existed despite living in the area. Jae was early to our son's 100 day photo shoot and had already scoped out the area. In fact, he braved sitting under the blazing sun to reserve the best bench seat for our photos. He worked quickly and naturally and made our entire family feel at ease. We then drove to our second destination for a quick shoot at a local downtown restaurant. Jae hopped in an Uber and met us at the restaurant where he proceeded with another shoot for about 30 minutes. Within two weeks, Jae emailed us the photos via his website where we had a chance to select 10 photos to get retouched. We were quite pleased with the photos. Within another two weeks, we received a link to the photos on his site where we were able to download color, B&W, and the retouched photos. Jae's service, courtesy, value, and skills make him a great hire for any of your photography needs. Our family certainly plans to hire Jae again for our photo needs.

If you're looking for a great senior photographer, Marcus is your guy! My pictures turned out even…read morebetter than I was expecting and I can't wait to send out my graduation announcements. He started out by setting up an appointment to get my hair and makeup professionally done in a salon. Then I was surprised to find out we were going to a vintage boutique where Marcus and the owner helped style me and let me borrow some clothes and accessories for the shoot! I feel like I got much more out of it than what was listed on paper as far as outfit changes, locations, and shoot time because Marcus really just wanted to make sure i had plenty of amazing, diverse shots to choose from. High price for high quality and it is so worth it.

Marcus, the results speak for themselves. I truly have nothing but the highest praise and…read moreappreciation for our awesome photoshoot. Organizing and capturing our team headshots and group shot was huge. You were not only professional and superbly talented, but you were fun to work with too. You always had a smile on and you really seemed to be having fun and enjoying the day along with us. Wow! Oh, and the fun shots of the team in DOMO hats were epic! Thanks Marcus. We highly recommend Marcus for anyone looking for a high-quality portrait photographer.

John Yao is the man! I've been following his work for almost 10 years (ew, did I just say that out…read moreloud?) and I knew I wanted to use him for my wedding photos even before I started dating my (now) husband. In fact, he was the first vendor we reached out right after we got engaged until we realized soon enough we should probably book the venue and date first ... We booked him for our engagement and wedding shoot and had a great experience! First of all, it's unhuman how he responds to emails within 5 minutes regardless of whether you email him at 2pm or 2am. It's true what everyone else says about him making you feel really comfortable at shoots. John's extremely professional which makes it extra funny when he'll drop in something super random like "give me a sexy pose" during a shoot. On our wedding day, he showed up early and led us and our bridal party through all photos - we didn't have to think about anything, just went with his flow. There was one hitch with the location I chose for our bridal party photos but John managed to find another great spot quickly on campus before we even had a chance to leave the first one. I also want to mention John had his first baby the week prior to our wedding. I figured he must at least be exhausted but he was on top of it throughout our whole wedding day (and not to mention even before, he was responding to our emails as he was getting ready to go to the hospital for the delivery of his first born??) Anyway, my point is John is committed and you can count on him! My husband and I are so happy with the way everything turned out (John delivered the photos early too!) and couldn't have asked for a better photographer.
