This was definitely the right decision for us!! Daniel knows the area very well & knew exactly where to meet for her pictures. He arrived on time, the meadow was an amazing choice! He captured the light beautifully setting behind the trees but keeping my daughter the spotlight. He was great with hand placement & we were very comfortable with him. And the pictures turned out FANTASTIC! He delivered the sneak peak just as he said he would, followed up with the edited pictures for us in a timely manner. If he were closer to us (we are in Illinois), we would use him for all of our pictures.

Both my husband and I are not natural at posing for photos, and Holly did an amazing job at making us feel comfortable and making the photography fun. She played music and we had drinks and it felt way more like just having a good time than posed photography. Holly fit into the wedding perfectly, and knew how to capture all of the right moments. After the wedding, several of our friends told us how much they enjoyed Holly and how her vibe was perfect for our event. We've also seen a handful of the photos already, and they are PERFECT! Thank you Holly!!

He was easy to communicate with, flexible with short notice, and showed up right on time. Martin has a laid-back style, which worked well for the atmosphere we had. He moved around the venue without being intrusive and captured a solid variety of shots--some were great,, others more candid and casual, which actually helped show the vibe of the event. He posted the photos quickly to his website, which made it easy for us to share with our team and guests. I appreciated how simple he made the whole process--no hassle, accepted electronic payment, and delivered as promised. Martin was dependable and professional without being stiff or overproduced. I'll definitely keep him in mind for future events and would recommend him to others looking for someone reliable who knows how to blend into the scene and get the job done.

I repeatedly hear that they've never seen wedding photos as spectacular as ours, but that's merely because they haven't seen Annie's other wedding photos!!! :) When I think of wedding photos, I generally think of stale, static photos that are easily interchangeable by switching out the bride and groom, a few flowers, and colorful dresses. Annie's photos don't fall into this category! She is not a "wedding photographer" the way you generally think of wedding photographers. She is a brilliant photojournalist who will generously apply her artistry to your wedding. After first discovering her work, I can't stop looking at her pictures! I'm addicted to her blog to see all she's doing. They say a picture's worth 1000 words. Hers, on the other hand, leave me speechless!!! Check her out at http://anniexphoto.com

I can't thank Erik and Franco enough for helping make our wedding absolutely amazing!…read more After having a bad experience with our first DJ, I was feeling stressed and discouraged. From the moment we spoke with Erik, he was so kind, compassionate, and reassuring. I am happy i decided to switch to Epik weddings. Music was one of the most important parts of our wedding, and they completely exceeded our expectations. Our wedding was incredible, and everyone is still talking about how amazing it was. There were so many special moments, but the music truly stood out. I was so happy to hear our guests say they loved the music and how much time they got to spend on the dance floor. One thing that was really important to me was keeping all of the activities and formalities moving quickly so everyone could dance the night away--and that's exactly what happened! Our guests couldn't stop talking about how much they enjoyed the music and how packed the dance floor was all night. The music was so good that, at the end of the night, we even had a few wedding crashers stop by and tell us they heard the music and had to come see what was going on! That made me so happy and was such a fun memory. I wish I could relive our wedding day over and over again, and I would recommend Erik and Franco to anyone looking for an amazing DJ team. Thank you both so much for making our wedding unforgettable!

Weddings are expensive and an investment, so I expect to get a good return on it. At the beginning for our engagement pics all was cool and I feeling confident about using her services. My wedding was kinda still during the height of covid, but everything seemed to be going well until the week of my wedding when I rec'd a text from her that she was not going to be able to shoot at my wedding bc she wasn't feeling well. I obviously was upset bc my contract was with her, but I had to be understanding of the situation too. What I didn't like was I had to trust a colleague of hers (Heather) who I had never met and didn't meet until my wedding day to take the best pictures possible. She did mediocre, and didn't capture very many couples pics nor family pics. (So glad I had relatives and friends who brought cameras. Most took better pics than the paid photographer, but I didn't pay them, I paid Kindred Souls for quality pics). She kinda rushed through our main pics and all the outdoor pics are hideous. Amber stated though she couldn't shoot my wedding, she'd do the editing, but she was sooo hard to get a hold of regarding status of my prints and just communication PERIOD! My wedding was in September and I didn't get my photos till mid December. I'd say I'm patient, but 4 months is ridiculous. When I sent my favorites back to her for editing I advised her they were not the clearest they could be and were too dark and to reedit. Here we are at the end of February and I still haven't heard back from Amber. Truly UNprofessional, poor customer service and a bad look on this business. They don't have to worry about me referring ANYONE to them! A waste of almost $1800, sigh.

It took us 26 years to realize our own attempts at family photos didn't capture the experiences the way we wished they did. My wife and I decided to get a professional pictures taken this year. We came across Danielle's website and were attracted to her work with large families as well as being a local to the kings beach area. As soon as we met Danielle, we knew it was going to be a good fit. Her humor was very similar to ours, and she knew how to apply the right amount mixed with direction to keep the process flowing. Our family covered 4 generations, with ages ranging from 84 to 18months. She was able to limit the impact and movement to the older folks while providing a treasure chest of little toys to entice the little ones. The pictures were painless, even with a group 20+ pale, squinty eyed people! After the shoot, approx 4 hrs later, Danielle returned with a projector, screen and ipad to review the photos and let us make our choices. It was so fun to sit around with the family and see the final product. This was a no pressure consultation and there was no upselling. We chose to go with a digital package allowing, us to share with the large family. We had to promise to get them printed (anywhere) eventually so they could be enjoyed and looked at every day. We continuously get complements on our photos. We also get some disbelief thinking that pictures that good can't be real. "There's no way that background is real", "That's not REALLY at Tahoe, is it?" I can't say enough good things about Danielle. She was a perfect fit for our family and I highly recommend her. As our kids grow (3 and 1.5 now) we'll definitely use her in the future.

She even took the time to learn the names of our close friends and family! The photos turned out beautifully. We were floored when she sent us an 80-photo preview just three days after the wedding. That kind of turnaround, on top of the quality of the images, shows how much care she puts into her work. This wasn't our first time working with Courtney either. She was also our photographer for our engagement session, and having that continuity meant she already understood us as a couple by the time the wedding arrived. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, attentive, and genuinely lovely to be around on one of the most important days of your life, Courtney is it. We can't recommend her enough!
