We were referred to Jenn Tai by our wedding planners. We spent $4,410 for 6 hours of wedding day…read morecoverage with 1 photographer. Our photographer was Kelly Bowie. From the moment Kelly arrived at our wedding it felt like amateur hour. Even though we met with her in advance of our wedding and sent all the details in writing, she "forgot" pretty much everything we discussed. For example, Kelly forgot to bring the list of family groupings for the family photos. Kelly also forgot that we needed seating for disability accommodations during the family photos and chose a location that required our elderly and disabled guests to walk down a hill and then stand outside in the August heat for almost an hour with no place to sit. Additionally, during the ceremony Kelly's presence was very distracting. We were in a small greenhouse with multiple entrances where she could have easily walked around the guests to get from one point to another but instead she walked down the aisle and in front of our guests multiple times during the ceremony. If it's possible, when we received the photos we were even more disappointed in Jenn Tai Photography. There was a real lack of attention to detail that was visible in the photos and that you expect a professional photographer to be aware of. For example, in several of the photos you can see phones visible in pockets, hand sanitizer clipped to belts, etc. Also, some of the key photos were overexposed and as a result faces or images were so light that detail was lost. We brought a lot of these issues to the attention of the company owner, Jenn, who did her best to address our concerns during post-production editing. Jenn's customer service was great and we know that she worked hard to try to correct the issues. Thank you, Jenn, for doing your best to fix our photos. Overall, we're still not happy with most of our wedding photos, but thanks primarily to Jenn's post-production work we have a small percentage of wedding photos that we love and will cherish.

WOW! There are not enough words to properly explain and gloat about how wonderful our experience…read morewas. Jenn was the highlight of our wedding vendors. We interviewed a handful and felt an instant connection. Not only is she super professional and great at what she does, she makes being photographed fun and easy! She photographed both our engagement photos and our wedding. For our engagement photos she made both of us feel super comfortable not only in front of the camera, but also packing on the PDA at Sculpture Park lol. The photos were fantastic and really did capture who we are as a couple! Fast forward to our wedding. She was super organized, able to keep our family in line (it can be like herding cats) but most importantly, she was super inclusive to all of our family and friends. Our photos are beautiful and candid. Looking at them makes you feel like you were there on the day. We will recommend Jenn to all our friends and family and continue to use her as our family grows! Did I mention she's also hilarious. You'd be doing a disservice to your event not to hire her!

If you're on the fence about newborn photos, just do it! We are over the moon with how our…read morephotographs turned out. The session was seamless, we just had to worry about getting there and the rest was handled for us entirely. I felt relaxed as our newborn was handled with care and slept for almost the entire session. You can see the years of experience that Julia has come through with her professionalism and ability to capture the moment perfectly. These photographs will be treasured for years to come and can't be happier with having hired Julia Christina Photography! Highly recommend them :)

Julia is exceptional! There was a lot of uncertainty right before my due date (baby came sooner…read morethan expected), but she was incredibly kind, supportive and provided the flexibility that I needed. We had the best experience at the newborn shoot - Julia took care of EVERYTHING which was so wonderful for this sleep deprived first time parent. My husband and I completely trusted Julia with baby the entire session - she was so good with him! Of course, photos came out absolutely perfect. Would highly recommend Julia - such a talented and genuine human being!

My husband and I originally planned to have a large wedding next year but last minute decided to…read morejust have a small (20 people) low-key beach wedding. With everything being quite last minute, we didn't plan on having a photographer at all but while doom scrolling on instagram on night I came across one of Calvin's ad's. I went to check his profile and really fell in love with his previous work (and our mutual love for Japan). It fit both my husband and I's style perfectly (not overly saturated or exposed like many of the basic photographers in Hawai'i). I decided to reach out just to see what the process might be like to hire him. During our first call Calvin provided us with a ton of information on locations and best lighting and it really showed how passionate he was about photography. I think pretty quickly into the call we knew that he was someone we'd definitely get along with. He was also just great with responding to our messages in a timely manner throughout the whole process. Going into the experience, my husband and I were both were pretty relaxed. I think we just knew that Calvin would do a great job because we felt so comfortable around him. He honestly blended in so well with everyone that we hardly noticed him at all throughout the day. With all the chaos of the wedding day it's hard to know how the photos will ultimately turn out but as soon as we saw the edited photos we couldn't stop looking at them! They captured the day so well and were more beautiful than we could've ever imagined. We're honestly so grateful to have gotten the chance to work with Calvin on our special day and can't thank him more for doing such an amazing job. Highly recommend you reach out to him for your proposal/wedding/elopement photos!

From our first meeting at the wedding show until she said goodbye on our wedding day she was fantastic.

This is our 3rd time working with Daniel (twice for family photos and the third time was for our…read morewhole wedding!) He was WONDERFUL from start to finish. He is very quick at snapping photos, which is perfect for families with squirmy kids. His artistic style feels very candid - capturing the moments of walking, talking, etc. with minimal staging! He also has a keen eye for capturing the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest; knowing when to place us behind draping tree leaves, or in a field of tall grass, or with a lush forest line behind us, etc. These distance shots will certainly make beautiful large-print canvases! He is the perfect fit for couples who want the scenic beauty of their environment captured alongside them. Great work Daniel!!!

We worked with Daniel for our son's two month photoshoot. Daniel is an amazing photographer and he…read morewas so easy to work with. His family is adorable and they were his assistants. I loved how his baby daughter tried to cheer up my son who was particularly cranky that evening. We loved his photos and they turned out to be exactly what we wanted. He was super nice throughout the evening, despite how grumpy our baby was. Daniel and his wife were very nice to my parents and my parents were extremely happy about how their photos with their grandchild turned out to be. I think this is the first time that my parents have ever been part of a photoshoot and they loved it :-) We highly recommend Daniel and we will definitely be working with him in the future as well.

She captured me in the most authentic way, with beautiful light and shadow that felt effortless yet polished. Masha was also super professional and helpful from the start. After I shared a few inspiration shots, she suggested the best location, time of day for lighting, and even gave me quick wardrobe tips that made everything come together perfectly. On the day of the shoot, I was dealing with a severe skin rash and worried it would ruin the results. Masha was patient and thoughtful, and her careful retouching made the images look flawless. I deeply appreciate quality and good taste, and I completely trust Masha's eye. I couldn't recommend her more for anyone seeking photography that combines artistry, professionalism, and care.
