She made the whole experience feel effortless and fun and was so good with my little one. You can tell she really puts care into the process from start to finish. Although I didn't end up using clothes from her client closet, it was great to have the option and we appreciated all of Khushboo's expertise on color palettes and what would work best with the setting. We are so pleased with our photos and will treasure these moments forever!

Khushboo is purely phenomenal! She was a joy to work with for my maternity shoot -- a true…read moreprofessional and breath of fresh air. She's very approachable and down to earth, easy to talk to, and provided helpful guidance for posing. She made me feel comfortable and beautiful, and her styling of the shoot was nothing short of breathtaking. She had a preliminary galley back to me within hours of my shoot, and I was taken aback by how stunning the pictures are. There are few times in my life when I've felt more beautiful and empowered, and that's saying a lot for someone 32 weeks pregnant. I cannot wait to receive the final gallery in a few weeks and am so excited to work with Shutter Magic Photography in the future!

The people at the front desk are rude and unwilling to help with extra questions. They only allow appointments to be made online and wouldn't help with scheduling over the phone or in person. The packages are wildly over priced and the customer service over email and phone was surprisingly bad. The pricing is wild. I've never seen such high costs for such below-average work. They get one star for being super fast at their poor work.

Do not trust them to take any of your event photos. They missed capturing the handshake of my…read moredaughter's high school graduation (!!). Due to their limited operating hours, it took me 2 days to get anyone to pay attention and then I had to provide evidence that they missed it (what she was wearing and my own video from behind). Upon recognizing that they missed it, they came back with a "this is a common mistake" excuse. There was no sincerity in her tone or explanation. When I objected with the rationale that this is not a common mistake as schools would not employ them, then the manager put me on hold, came back several minutes later with a softer and kinder apology that seemed scripted (AI?) That sudden turn in her tone did not make sense to me. I asked to speak to or get a call back from the owner and then she got angry and her original tone/lack of concern came out. I will be reaching out to their staff again because as a family owned studio, I expected better. I will be informing the school as well.

Being from the East Coast and 2400 miles from our home, we wanted our annivetsary in Carmel to be remembered forever. Adam not only captured memories that will last a lifetime, but we also gained a friend. Adam is a remarkable person and is gifted to give just the right guidance for capturing the most beautiful images on Carmel Sunset Beach during golden hour. We have worked with multiple photographers in the past, and Adam is a gifted photographer who truly captures moments in time. Let him capture your next big moment. You'll have images you'll cherish for a lifetime!

I am so glad I hired Adam for my surprise proposal to my girlfriend. Living in SoCal and having…read morenever been to Monterey/Big Sur, I planned my whole proposal based on google searches, reddit threads, and word of mouth. Being a Big Sur/Monterey local, Adam provided extremely helpful insight and feedback for my proposal. He definitely helped relieve a lot of the stress during the planning phase of my proposal. On the day of the actual shoot, the day-of jitters was overwhelming at times, but Adam's energy and demeanor was very centering. He was patient and gave my new fiancee and I space to calm ourselves, and also knew when to take charge and guide us with our poses. He also had amazing and creative ideas for how to pose and brought us to local, reclusive spots to take intimate photos. Best of all, Adam always had a smile on his face and he made us really think like we were supermodels walking the runway haha. If you're going to do any photoshoot, especially a proposal or engagement shoot, in the Big Sur/Monterey area, I would highly recommend getting Adam!!

Looking for a wedding photographer?? Look no further, and just contact Anna!…read more We absolutely loved all the photos that she captured for our special day at The Gardens at Heather Farm. She was easy going and kept the photography process simple and fun. She worked with our tight schedule without any stress, even when some things didn't go according to plan (ie. people not showing up at the right spot/time). We truly appreciated how prepared and creative she was, knowing what photos to take and where to take them. And whenever there was a random group photo being taken by a cell phone, she would magically appear and take an even better photo for us. Amazing! We will definitely reach out to her if we ever need photography services again. Thank you so much, Anna!

One of the reasons I initially said "no photographer" to my boyfriend when he asked my preference…read morefor our proposal was that I didn't want a stranger to interrupt a magical moment...

Having him there enhance the entire experience which I previously thought was an impossible contribution And that was before I saw the photos!!! When I look at Naveed's shots I feel the epicness of the experience itself. I understand why he coached us through the "drunk walk" or adjusted my hair -- he was able to translate our feelings into photo form. I'll treasure what he delivered for me and my new fiancé always. This is a rare instance when I regret not using social media because if I did I would use it to gas this man up unendingly. Thank you thank you NVD

If you're looking for a wedding photographer in the Bay Area, we cannot recommend Toan Photography…read moreenough! We absolutely loved working with Toan and his team. From the very beginning, they were incredibly knowledgeable, talented, professional, and genuinely easy to work with. Planning a DIY wedding comes with plenty of stress, but Toan was hands down our easiest and favorite vendor throughout the entire process. Neither of us is naturally comfortable in front of a camera, but Toan has an incredible eye and knows exactly how to direct and pose you. He gave us simple, clear guidance that made us feel relaxed and confident, and somehow made even the least photogenic person look like a natural model. The entire experience felt fun instead of awkward. His photography speaks for itself. The photos are absolutely stunning and capture every moment so beautifully. His work is so strong that the images barely need any editing--they're timeless, natural, and simply breathtaking. Every photo feels like a work of art, and we know we'll treasure them for the rest of our lives. We also really appreciated how honest, flexible, and accommodating Toan was throughout the process. He frequently offered packages and special deals, which we were incredibly grateful for. Booking, scheduling, billing, and communication were always seamless, and we never ran into a single issue. On our wedding day, Toan and his team made us feel completely at ease during one of the biggest and most emotional days of our lives. They were calm, organized, and knew exactly how to keep everything running smoothly while capturing every special moment. His craftsmanship is worth every penny. After working with him, we completely understand why he's so highly rated throughout the Bay Area. If you're considering Toan Photography, don't hesitate--you'll be investing in an amazing experience and memories you'll cherish forever. Thank you, Toan and your team, for exceeding every expectation!

We'll always be grateful not only for the stunning photos but also for the incredible experience they gave us. If you're looking for photographers who genuinely care about their couples and make you feel like family, we cannot recommend Ann & Royce enough.
