We just received our family photos, and I am so glad we decided to hire Ocean Isle Beach…read morePhotography! Shirley was wonderful to work with from start to finish. She never made us feel rushed and took the time to capture beautiful photos in several different spots along the beach. She was especially amazing with our grandson, somehow getting that perfect smile that we'll treasure for years. Throughout the entire process, her communication was excellent, making everything easy and stress-free. Family vacations create memories that last a lifetime, and these photos will help us relive this special week for years to come. If you're vacationing at Ocean Isle or Holden Beach, don't miss the opportunity to capture those moments with the people you love. Thank you, Shirley, for giving our family such a priceless gift!

I would 100% recommend Ocean Isle Beach Photography! Erica was the sweetest and so patient. The…read morephotos came out amazing and she allowed us to each get multiple photos in various poses. In total we were 6. Erica patiently spent time photographing our grandmother who cannot stand on the sand and sometimes has troubles listening (It was quite difficult to get her to pose!) She was well prepared with bobby pins to make sure any flyaway hairs were not an issue. Erica noticed that my hair kept blowing back so for the pics with my hubby she took me back near the sand dunes where I wouldn't get the ocean wind messing up my hair. The photos look incredible!!!! I am printing them out and keeping them forever. She even took a bonus group pic on my phone in the end. Her rates are very reasonable for the quality and expertise you get with it. Very easy to communicate with her and the links to the photos were received quickly. Overall, I can't wait until next time I'm down in Ocean Isle for my next photo shoot! Thank you, Erica!!!

I had a family vacation planned in Myrtle Beach, where I wanted to get professional family pictures…read moretaken while we were there. I browsed Google searches and came across Ryan Smith Photography. Going through his portfolio of pictures online, I knew he would be a good fit for what we were after... fun, candid, beach, etc. Ryan had great communication from the start through the whole process- about setting dates, payment options, meet up details, parking logistics, processing time, etc. He gave great instructions on where to meet and we followed to the nearby park he suggested. The location was great, offering a mix of different picture background options, in addition to the beach pictures, which was a nice bonus to mix up the pictures we had available to us at the end. We had a group of 7, ages ranging from seniors to teenagers. Ryan was great at suggesting ideas, poses, and what angles to shoot from. He also let us come up with a few ideas to add to the mix of picture options. He was super flexible! We were shooting for probably a good 1 hour to 1.5 hours. Ryan is very personable and made us feel comfortable! You can really tell this by the results of our pictures, where no one seemed uncomfortable or stiff. We all had fun and had a lot of laughs that he was able to really capture for us. Overall I would recommend Ryan and his skills for anyone looking for family pictures, weddings, senior pictures, etc. He truly is so talented and I (and my whole family) were very impressed with the results. Thank you Ryan for everything! I had been wanting to get updated pictures done for so long and I'm so glad we got connected to make it happen, I couldn't be more pleased with the experience or the results!

On photo day, Andrew showed up and seemed to be inebriated. He rallied the troops (all 11 of us) trying to get us excited and open for the upcoming photo shoot. We were all dressed up and excited, so his exuberance, while over the top, wasn't out of place. When it came time to go to the shoot location, he offered to drive one of our young children to the photo shoot in his BMW Z4. We declined since that would be inappropriate. On the way to the photo shoot as we followed him, he almost hit oncoming traffic and trash cans as he swerved over the lines in the road. When we arrived at the photo shoot (the east end of Holden Beach), we walked to the shoot location. He made a negative comment about my dad (he's 74), hit on my mom (she's 76), and cursed in front of our children (5 kids ranging from 8 to 15). He was inflexible and refused requests for poses. Fast forward 4 months and thousands of dollars spent on prints (yes, that is how long it took to see prints). Between the original photo shoot and the prints, my sister and her husband split up. We couldn't hang pictures on the wall with my ex-brother in law, so they were thrown in the trash. What a shame after spending thousands of dollars. We reached out to Andrew hoping he would provide or sell us the high resolution digital images to Photoshop my brother in law out. Andrew was inflexible and would not consider providing them, even though we had already purchased the prints and have more than enough experience with Photoshop to maintain the integrity of his work. He said he would be willing to provide a quote for the Photoshop work, but that didn't make sense considering our experience with image editing. I retried to explain the uniqueness of this uncomfortable family situation, and he let loose. After 10 seconds of him raising his voice at me, I hung up. Goodbye, Andrew. Good luck in your business.

The owner was very responsive at the time and the date and time was set. I then received 4 emails confirming the date and time the week before the shoot. My family took off work, bought outfits, and arranged an entire vacation day altering sleep schedules for toddlers in order to make the most of the session. We arrived to the stated location 20 minutes early only to wait an hour for a NO SHOW photographer. No call, no email - NOTHING. When our time slot hit, I called the company's phone number. That number has call restrictions not allowing the call to go through. We also went to the studio only to find it was a neighborhood home address. We believe this business is a scam. Devastating to have 6 months of planning and preparing for an extended family session, only to have it ruined. Whatever you do, do NOT book with Chloe John Photography.
