It's been a couple of months since my fiancé and I have taken our engagement photos. This review is…read morelong overdue but here we go. I love, love, love the photos Tri took of us. He is so creative, patient, and makes you feel so comfortable because my fiancé and I had no idea what we were doing. Tri is super accommodating and originally we had scheduled our appointment on a Friday but the weather was horrible and raining. He was the one to suggest changing the date to make sure we had the best lighting. Our photo shoot was taken at Crystal Cove in Newport Beach. He gets your photos back to you pretty fast less than 2 weeks. I so would have wished to have been able to have him photograph our actual wedding but we were lucky enough to have him shoot our engagement photos. Thank you again Tri! I will definitely recommend him.

They went above and beyond from start to finish. They scouted locations before the engagement shoot and even did a water shoot the day after the wedding. Stylistically they get it. There is an eye for art that goes beyond knowing how to work a camera. We received both sets of photos really fast and everyone has LOVED the leather-bound photo book that TUgether created using our wedding photos. I can't imagine our wedding experience with a different photographer. TUgether is as good as it gets!

We found SHMILY on yelp, and planned to take pre wedding photos in June 2020. We contacted them…read moreover email but they preferred wechat. Due to COVID we did have to reschedule for an unexpected time, and the company was very flexible. We had our photos taken in July with Frank, Annie, and Ethan. They were very professional, and kind. Frank (the photographer) really has an eye for the way the natural light works in every setting. You can really tell he loves his job. Annie was the make up artist, and help me select a dress. She was so sweet! Ethan was the photographer assistant and he was joyful to work with. There is a slight language barrier, they spoke Chinese but everything was communicated well. All the photos turned out amazing. And we had such a good experience! We recommend it to anyone in the area to take their prewedding photos with them!

My husband and I found Shmily after months of debating whether to go back to Taipei for our…read moreengagement photo shoots (with more considerations now with Covid situation), and we just finished the photo shoots yesterday!! It was well planned by Frank(photographer) and his wife Annie(make up artist), to capture the most beautiful moments we had in the bay area! Frank did lots of research and prep for the shoots, from iconic SF downtown to the scenic Muir Woods. he captured every moment so well! I was able to see some of our pictures and they were all breath taking! Annie is hands down one of the most amazing make up artists! she played such an important part of the whole experience as she listened attentively to what I'd like to look like (I showed her some pictures of the vintage look, and she used her "magic" and everything turned out gorgeous and beautiful!),and doing anything she can to make sure things move smoothly! Thank you Shmily Photo, especially Frank and Annie, who have made yesterday one of the best memories I will always look back and savor! Highly recommend this team to my family, friends, and anyone who's looking for high quality and unforgettable photography for a life time memory :)

I've never hired a professional photographer before; in fact I hate having my photo taken at all…read morefor the most part. Besides those childhood modeling sessions my mom made me do, and a class portrait, I have zero experience with dealing with photographers and pretty much run from the camera, unless I have control and it's on my cell phone. So, when our wedding came around it was not me who wanted to have a photographer, but my groomzilla. I got a lot of quotes, which literally blew my mind. I'm not spending $5,000 plus on photos from one day. We had a backyard wedding in West Hollywood with only 14 people so take a hike with your ridiculous prices. That's when I came upon LA Budget. You had me at budget. If we wanted to spend $100,000 on a wedding we could have, but I'm not that type of bride and I'd much rather go on trips, buy a house, etc than waste money and debt on one day. We were running really late the day of our wedding, about an hour behind. We were only worried because of the photographer who we had hired for 2 hours and wasted the first hour because it took longer than we thought to set everything up that day. Anyways, Angela arrived and was very chill and not phased. She took photos of our guests and the set up while I was still running around with 2 feet of wet hair. She was patient and I finally got it together. Our ceremony was all of 10 minutes and then she took group shots of our families, etc. She stayed about an hour or maybe a bit more which was fine because we were going to sit to eat. A week later we got our photos on a link online and you can download them directly to your computer and have them printed or share as you wish. I think a lot of the price charged of other photo companies is for the editing and printing of photos. You can find printers in LA all over the place or this one I found in Wisconsin and have used for years who are awesome and super cheap and fast. I am pretty critical of my photos so I'd say all but a few I hated of myself, but we got a lot of great shots of our families and friends and our dog. All in all, it was a great deal, Angela had a great attitude and for us I couldn't imagine having an overbearing photographer in my face all day and night so this was just perfect for us.

They were affordable and quick to respond. I had no trouble getting in contact with LA Budget…read moreWedding Photographer and they were always courteous when I spoke or e-mailed with them. Alexandra was very polite and professional and we were pleased to work with her! The photos turned out well and we received all of the full res photos via Dropbox shortly after coming home from our honeymoon the following week. There were over 1000 photos and a few hundred great shots to put into our wedding album! There were a few edited photos but most were raw images. I could edit them myself but the quality of the raw photos are good enough that I don't really need to. The lighting at our venues was tricky as it was a particularly bright, sunny day and we had most of our photos done outside (and the inside lighting wasn't very good either), but I think Alexandra did a good job even with the lighting being the way it was that day.

Choosing a wedding photographer was probably one of the more difficult decisions we had in planning…read moreour wedding. Based on our research and referrals from friends, we decided to go with Ciirca Pictures as our wedding & engagement photographer this past November 2015. We could not have been happier with the results, and we are glad we went with Ciirca. Husin has been a pleasure to work with. He really took time to listen, genuinely get to know us, and understand our style. With our hectic itinerary for the wedding day, Husin made sure he was familiar with the agenda, and was there to capture every moment of our wedding. The assistant photographer that accompanied Husin during our wedding was also very talented, and took some wonderful shots of the groomsmen. The Ciirca team also worked very well with our videographers. Husin is professional, organized, reliable, has great communication, and most importantly...he has a great vision! The turnaround time was also quick and on-time. Our wedding photos were delivered to us in a beautiful custom wood-engraved flash drive. Husin also created a beautiful wedding album for us with all of our favorite pictures and moments from the wedding. We're happy that we chose Ciirca for our wedding. We will definitely cherish these photos for a lifetime, and know we'll enjoy looking back at these beautifully captured moments.

Ciirca has been our personal family photographer to us! From post wedding, maternity, newborn, and…read morefamily portraits..I have never hire anyone else since i knew Husin.

I hired WhiteStrobe to take candids of me and the guests. My sister (the creative one) put together a photo back drop last minute and that worked out great. Bill was AMAZING! Truth be told I hate getting my picture taken but I always felt comfortable and at ease with Bill. He arrived early and ready. He took pictures of stuff I would have never thought of. He got some great shots of EVERYONE! I am not sure if I looked great in ALL the pictures or if he only sent me the ones I looked great in but I was very very happy with all of them. He took a picture of me and my dad that I will treasure for the rest of my life. I used one of the pics for my holiday card and people went nuts over it. I recommend everyone to have a professional photographer at the parties they want to remember. I HIGHLY recommend Bill and WhiteStrobe. I never Yelp review but felt Bill's professionalism, talent, and work deserved it! If I can figure out how to add pictures I'll add some.

Our 2-hour session started on time, we drive around to multiple locations and the stops were planned efficiently. His lighting assistant was on it as well. I'm glad he got in each location within our agreed upon time frame. We received two polaroid's the day of, our sessions pictures in 5 days, our print outs and digital SD in the mail a few days after that. Jonathan NAILED It! So many friends and family ask us who did our shots! I am so happy with the outcome and truly adore the funky, raw vibe Johnathan captured. Great talent, and totally fun to work with, plus fast response via text.

My husband and I found Vu Photography through Yelp. We chose to book Thomas because we really…read moreliked the photos on his website and his photo packages were affordable. We found cheaper photographers, but their photos were not nearly as nice. We really liked Thomas' modern, photo journalistic approach that made it look like a beautiful moment captured in time instead of a forced pose. He has a level of skill that you would normally find in a more expensive photographer, yet he charges a reasonable price. We decided on an engagement session at the Disney Concert Hall and neighboring areas. We had some ideas of our own that Thomas put his own spin on and made them even better than we could've imagined! My husband and I aren't used to having our photos taken and he was very patient with us and made us feel comfortable. The photos turned out so beautiful and unique! We got a ton of compliments on them! For our wedding, Thomas and his team were early and did a wonderful job keeping up with everything. His photos captured the excitement and happiness we felt and we're really happy we have these photos to look back on. I think your photographer is the most important thing you can invest in for your wedding, because after the day is over, you'll only have those photos to look back on. Thomas was a great investment for us!
