One of the firs things I did in the wedding planning process was search for photographers. To me,…read morethe photography was one of the most important parts because I want to have these pictures forever and be able to relive the day. I had a very specific idea of what I was looking for - I wanted the pictures to tell a story. I found Michael's website as I was searching, and his work immediately caught my attention. I was really impressed with his style, as it was exactly what I was looking for. Michael was a joy to work with! He was always very helpful with answering all of my questions and working with us in every way possible. And he never got annoyed with my millions of emails with just ONE more question. LOL. He was on time on our wedding day, and was super flexible! I was getting ready at a salon while my husband was at a house getting ready, and he made sure to be able to be at both places to get pictures of us getting ready. We had a very large wedding party, 21 people to be exact! As well as a ton of family. He worked so well with everyone, and getting all of the pictures that were important to us. It definitely took longer than I had anticipated with so many people, but he was so patient with me asking for this picture and that picture, it all worked out! We are super happy with our decision to hire Michael. He made the whole process easy and we cannot thank him enough for that!!

We worked with Daniel for our first professional photo shoot to celebrate our 25th wedding…read moreanniversary. He was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Booking and payment were super easy online, and communication was excellent the whole way through. We told him we got married 25 years ago on a beach somewhere on the Nevada side of South Lake Tahoe (the exact spot is still a mystery!), and when he suggested Zephyr Cove Resort Beach, we knew he was our guy. I'll admit I was more nervous than my husband, but Daniel immediately made us feel comfortable. He's easy to talk to, fun, and knows exactly how to guide you through natural poses without anything feeling fake. We were laughing (actual laughing tears!) the entire time. We had the best time. We just got our proofs back, and I am beyond thrilled. His work is beautiful!! We started at 5pm and he got all the best of the area! Unreal!! You 'd never even know it was one of the windiest days ever! I can't wait to see the full gallery. If you're in the South Lake Tahoe area and need a photographer who's talented, personable, and genuinely cares about your experience, Daniel is the one.

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.

We felt at ease with them from the beginning, and it was obvious that they knew how to work with large groups (like ours) with many young children (seven little ones under age 7). While the primary goal was to obtain a full group photo and a grandparents-with-grandkids photo, Sandra and Josh also took photos of each individual family with their children plus candids of the little ones wandering freely through the meadow where the photoshoot took place. The photos we now have will forever be a reminder of a fabulous week that our family spent together in the Lake Tahoe wonderland. We are grateful to Sandra and Josh for documenting this special time for us.

We could not be more thankful that we chose Corey to photograph our special day. He is incredibly talented, and really knows how to photograph not only people, but he captures the beauty of nature, and specifically Lake Tahoe, so well. He has an eye for the right poses to get the best shot, but also is able to capture really fun candids. He is also SO fun to work with and very down to earth. I am going to miss working with Corey, and would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

I found Gabriel via Wedding Wire and ended up booking him for our wedding in Reno in January 2017…read more It was a destination wedding so we weren't able to meet face-to-face prior. However, after having a call with him, coordinating via email, and face timing, we were confident in having him shoot for our wedding. It was the absolute worst weather in about a decade, but nonetheless, Gabriel showed up on time with his assistant and got right to work. He took some gorgeous photos and I think it wasn't easy to work with us because our room was so messy from pre-partying the night before, the guys were all over the place and nowhere to be found at times (not their fault, our timeline wasn't accurate) and everyone was so busy working on last-minute wedding stuff. It was a very stressful day due to Atlantis hotel being SO unhelpful - but that's reserved for another review! Let's talk about Gabriel here. He had a creative eye for photos and worked quickly. We got some beautiful shots that took little to no time setting up because of his experience. The only hiccup we had wasn't Gabriel's fault. We didn't take proper photos with each table. I think that was on the DJ to announce it and he never did. Neither did our coordinators or anyone else. I wish we had done so earlier because no one was on that, which is a big part of your photos. However, Gabriel was nice enough to stay back a little bit longer after we begged him to go around and take a photo with each table and he did. We received our photos in a very timely manner. At around 2 weeks, we were able to view them online. At 3 weeks, we received a beautiful flash drive with all 1400+ photos in there. Thanks, Gabriel for working with us and being so good at what you do.

What an amazing wedding photography experience! I highly recommend Gabriel Radu for your event…read morephotography needs! First off, I planned my entire wedding out of state. The most important vendor to me was the photographer and trust me, I did my research, pages of it. I looked on every wedding website, through pages of reviews and stumbled upon Gabriel Photography. He didn't have many testimonials but his website displayed some beautiful shots that aligned with the talent I was looking for - picturesque, romantic and dreamy. I was a little suspicious because he was so affordable (wedding photography typically runs upwards of $2k and Gabriel was well below the average cost). I called him up and we hit it off immediately. He was happy to listen to everything I was looking for and interested in knowing more about my fiance and myself to get a better overview of what we desired. Upon request, he allowed me to view additional galleries of weddings he had shot recently. He was also more than happy to meet me (45 minute drive for him) when I booked a trip back to California to tie up the loose ends before the wedding just so we could meet in person and talk! Gabriel is so friendly and willing to make any and all of your photography needs a reality! He really has that eye for beautiful shots that cannot be taught. My wedding ceremony was unplugged (only Gabriel was allowed to take pictures) and he did a fantastic job capturing every single moment! Not only that, he goes above and beyond what is contracted! Not only did he take the EXTRA time (we were contracted for 6 hours) to make sure every shot was captured, he even helped taxi some of the bridesmaids to the venue last minute! The cost of his service includes ALL of the high resolution edited images he takes and an online gallery. We ended up with over 1400 amazing pictures!! The online gallery of images was ready almost immediately after our wedding and the flash drive was in our hands less than a month after! The photos speak for themselves but I am a true advocate for Gabriel Photography!
