They were both relaxing, energetic, warm and professional to the entire bridal party, as well as our guests, and by the end of the evening we felt like we had made two new friends. We just received the photos and we were completely blown away with the quality of their work. I feel like the luckiest bride to have had Rueben included in my once in a lifetime event.

Honestly, Reuben is one of the most warmest if not warmest person we've ever worked with. He made…read moreus feel so comfortable and just let us be in our element. For two people who are so shy behind the camera, he made us feel like family and we were so happy we hired him on for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. My whole bridal party told me multiple times during the wedding day, what a great guy he was and how welcoming he was with everyone he met. We wanted to make sure that the person we chose for our photos would be able to capture every moment with just a warm and easy feeling of love. He was the perfect match. He made it really easy to be just us and he captured our family and friends in the greatest of lights and we absolutely loved how all the pictures came out. We honestly can't stop looking at the pictures from our wedding day because it brings back so many special moments that we never want to forget. We are so glad we have all these great photos to look through and show others so that family and friends can see them too. We are so lucky to have found him and so proud to have chose him for our wedding day. The pictures came out so awesome and you will not regret booking him for your special day!

Taylor is an amazing photographer & videographer! She was the second shooter at my wedding in June…read moreof this year & I love the pictures she took! She also made a sweet video of my husband & I that captured a happy moment so well. Taylor was a sweet & lovely person to work with & I highly recommend her! Thank you for your hard work, Taylor!

When I first started wedding planning and vendor research, my husband and I were a little hesitant…read moreabout hiring a videographer because we were having a hard time finding the style and quality we were looking for and were worried we would end up paying for something we didn't love or maybe didn't need. So we decided to invest the time and money in a photographer that was exactly what we wanted. A couple months before the wedding we had heard about Taylor and were continuously being told we would be sorry if we didn't have a wedding video after it all was over. So we chose to have Taylor capture our wedding day & we couldn't have been happier that we did. I didn't get the chance to even meet her before the day of our wedding and I was surprised by how she totally just owned it and made herself comfortable when she arrived. Taylor started with the girls in the morning to get getting ready shots and had a second shooter with my husband and groomsmen, which the shooter ended up having to follow the guys all over to multiple locations. I am a creative professional and could tell every step of the way that they were both capturing great shots and had a good creative eye as videographers/photographers. (I think they both ended up taking some photos along the way as well) I really loved that taylor and her team were able to relax and enjoy themselves while they did their job. The video turned out stunning and everything we could have hoped for in a wedding video. Without even meeting Taylor before hand and getting to tell her that our goal for our wedding was to make sure it was a great time for our guests but also intimate and personal feeling, she was able to capture those feelings in her work and every time we watch it we feel like we are right back partyin' and celebrating our marriage with the people we love most. BEYOND all of that, she ended up sending us a sneak peak shorter video first to hold us off until she got us the full length video, AND sent us some fun footage and shots her and her second shooter got that either didn't make the video or she just thought we would love to have. If you want someone that is more than just an expense on your wedding checklist who you can trust to not only creatively meet your wants and needs but has the ability to bring the experience and feeling of your special day into something you can keep forever, then this is your gal! I also want to note that I was impressed with her work enough that I have almost used her for a couple of video needs in my creative career and 100% hope to use her in the future for videography that isn't wedding videography.

Lorin answered and was available to fit me during my lunch break the same day, awesome! His price for my business profile bio headshot was fair. On my way I realized I did not go through my normal process of choosing the best rating for the most reviews. When I saw that the business had 0 Reviews I was worried. When I arrived at a home I was really worried. Thankfully, after sharing my concerns Lorin informed me this was a new a secondary business to his primary Lorin Backe Photography which had 5 stars. That and the many rooms filled with his beautiful family portraits from his over 30 years in photography was enough to ease my fears. This man has dedicated his life to his passion and was easy to work with. Better yet he had me out of there in 2 minutes and was able to send my the headshots within a day. Needless to say I got lucky and couldn't be happier accomplishing this task working with Lorin. Much appreciate!

As a 40-year professional headshot photographer (and International Hall of Fame, Master…read morePhotographer), I not only appreciate the work of remarkable photography but feel an obligation to tell others when I see it. The work of Lorin Backe of OC headshot exudes the quality of superior craftsmanship, both in expertise and the primary function of a headshot, expression. While every facet of Backe's headshots is striking, his skills shines most in capturing professionals at their very best. This cannot be overstated. The photogosphere is replete with photographers who have mastered the nuts-and-bolts of creating decent exposures but the art of headshot photography requires something extra. This "extra" is where Back exceeds and what makes him my choice for my headshot photographer.

Everybody has their thing at weddings, cake, location, live music, centerpieces, etc. For us it…read morewas pictures and Coba Images turned out to be everything we could have hoped for in our wedding photographer. For others that like to research, and are concerned about navigating the field of photographers, I'll write a longer than normal review. Initial Interview - We met with Cody at his San Francisco office on our third interview of the day. He gave great answers to what makes a good portrait (use of light) and how he uses depth of field. I'm not a photographer, but I do appreciate it, and it was apparent to me from his background, style, and portfolio he would be a great match for us. About Coba - Cody works out of SF, Baldemar out of the OC and Sean out of LA. Despite the different home bases, they work together, we had all three shooting at our wedding. Budget - We, like everyone, were on a budget. Cody worked with us to tailor a package that would deliver the things that were most important to us at a cost that worked for us. Communication - Cody was always quick to respond and easy to get hold of. We never had to worry about anything. Timely - Cody was prompt with quotes, at meetings, on wedding day and in delivering the final pictures. Shooting the Day - Even before people saw the pictures we got many comments and inquiries about Cody, Baldemar and Sean. They were efficient, set up great shots, and present for the moments without being in the way. Their judgment about where to take shots, backgrounds and angles was superb. If you find yourself in a position where Cody says, hey let's stop here for a picture, take him up on it, you won't regret it. Friendly - Cody and Baldemar have a great ability to direct a shot, but let it develop it's own character at the same time. They put us at ease throughout, connecting with our guests, and seemed more like friends celebrating with us. The Pictures - Amazing, beautiful, fantastic are what our friends and family say about them; we love them, but we are biased. As part of our package, we paid for the originals and put together photo books in iPhoto as gifts for our parents and siblings. We had plenty of pictures to customize for each of them and they were thrilled. Hopefully you can see that we were extremely happy with our experience, but I think it's important to have balance in a review too. It took me a bit to think of something, but here are two small points: Pictage Gallery - We went with the online gallery pictage. It looks great, but requires people to set up a log in, and I think prints from the site were too expensive. $15 for a single 4x6 vs. about $0.25 at Costco. Granted there's a quality difference in the prints, which we would pay for. But we liked the idea for aunt's, uncle's, friends etc. that just want a print or two for their collection, at that price it's too high. It's not an issue with Coba, just a buyer beware. More Pictures of People at the Reception - Cody and Baldemar have a great journalistic style. Their images bring to life the story that unfolds throughout the day and beautifully captures great moments and memories. My only minor regret is that we don't have more pictures of the wider wedding group at dinner and the reception. They did a great job focusing on the key players, speeches, dances and got several shots of guests around as well. I wish I had asked them to spend a bit more time getting a shot or two of each table at dinner, but I never communicated that was important to me. Artistic - Above all the rest, the use of light, attention to color was unmatched in their portfolio and delivered in our wedding pictures. Cody, Baldemar and Sean are talented, good people and deliver a fabulous result. We highly recommend them as well.

If there were a way to rate 10 stars, I would…read more I can't say enough good things about Coba Images. Cody and Baldemar shot our Northern California wedding in June, 2009. The entire process from the initial meeting through the delivery of the images was flawless, professional, creative, and accommodating. Cody worked hard to create a package to work within our budget, he spent time discussing what types of pictures we wanted from the day (and what type we didn't want), and he was attentive via email - a super plus for us since we were planning our wedding from across the country. Day of - Cody and Baldemar were essentially invisible to us, yet somehow managed to catch every important shot of the day with creativity and interesting points of view. Portraits came out stunningly and we regularly receive compliments on them - they are natural, laid back, and evocative of the environment and our personalities. At the last minute, we also decided to throw in the photo booth option at our reception. And we are so happy that we did. It was a fun activity for us and our guests and the final product pictures are priceless! These photographers are the perfect combination of creative talent and professional business people. We highly recommend them!

BETTY IS AMAZING I…read moredon't even know where to start. Finding the right wedding photographer was the most important part of planning for me. When I found Betty's portfolio, I was blown away--her work was breathtaking, romantic, and everything I wanted. I knew I had to work with her, and from the moment I reached out, she matched my enthusiasm and made me feel so excited for what came next. Betty flew all the way to New York for our engagement photos, and the experience is one of our favorite memories of our engagement. My fiancé and I were nervous because we're not used to being in front of a lens, but Betty's energy changed everything. She hyped us up, made us laugh, and turned it into this amazing, romantic experience. By the end, we completely forgot there was a camera involved. And the photos? They were stunning. For the first time, we both loved how we looked in pictures. Betty has a gift for capturing genuine emotion, and those photos will always hold a special place in our hearts. When the wedding day arrived, Betty brought that same energy and more. It was such a delight to see her and her husband, José, working together as a team. Having José there added another layer of magic--they're an incredible duo. The day itself was chaotic and behind schedule, but Betty kept us grounded with her calm, lighthearted energy. She didn't just roll with the punches--she made everything feel easy, fun, and even exciting. Somehow, she managed to get every important shot without making us feel rushed, and looking back, I can't imagine the day without her. Within 48 hours, Betty sent us sneak peeks of our wedding photos, and they were so beautiful. I couldn't believe how perfectly she captured not just how the day looked, but how it felt. And now that I've received the full gallery, it has me crying all over again. She didn't just capture our memories; she became an integral part of them. These are photos I'll cherish forever--ones I'll hang in my home and share with my family for years to come. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only take breathtaking photos but also make you feel cared for, celebrated, and confident, Betty is the one. She's worth every penny and more. Betty, thank you for everything--you made our wedding unforgettable and now my husband and I can pose for pictures feeling confident. You really outdid yourself, and more than the photos, you were our rock and helped us get through the stress of that weekend. Riley and I will ALWAYS be grateful for you. I'll miss you but I know this won't be the last time we work together.
