I'm extremely disappointed in the unprofessionalism of this company. My daughter recently had her…read morevolleyball pictures taken, but I wasn't able to attend because I had to undergo emergency surgery and was in and out of the hospital for two weeks -- a situation that nearly cost me my life. About a week after the photo session, I called and left a message explaining the severity of my situation and asked how I could still place an order since I wasn't there that day. Despite that, I never received a call back. Another parent told me they experienced the same issue and had to go into the business in person and argue just to be able to order because they were told pictures could only be purchased at the session. That policy was never communicated to us, and we didn't even receive the order form until picture day, making it impossible for me to plan ahead. This same company handled my sons' Little League photos in the past and I never had a problem -- but I also wasn't in the hospital then. I'm heartbroken that I won't have my daughter's volleyball pictures, as I've never missed a sports photo in 14 years across my five kids' activities. A simple call back, a little compassion, or any effort to help would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, due to their lack of professionalism and empathy, I've already shared my experience with a Little League board member I know well -- and it's disappointing that this company will likely lose even more business because of how poorly they've handled this situation.

We had a big team photo shoot. They were obviously in a rush. No setup or regard for poor lighting. Absolutely no effort to ensure good photos were captured. It's like they were using film! This all resulted in multiple complaints from parents. I literally took better photos with my iPhone.

The process was easy and I had my photos in less than a week. In real estate, image is everything and I'm happy I chose to get my headshots done here. I'd recommend anybody who needs a professional headshot for LinkedIn, business cards, websites, or any other use to do a shoot with Gerry. One of the things I most enjoyed is that he helped me go through various poses to find a look that was natural. I'm not used to being in front of a camera but he knew how to make me feel and appear comfortable.

My husband thought they were extremely fun to shoot with as well ! Slavik and his team also captured so many heart warming candid moments where everyone looked amazing which I really loved so much ! My wedding was a little chaotic but without hesitating the crew stepped in to help me while I was arranging decor and having dress malfunctions which meant so much to me and helped my special day and pictures turn out beautifully and beyond my expectations ! I would 1000% recommend them to other couples and want them to do shoots for me again in the future !! :))

She was very accommodating with our location changes, incorporating props, and capturing natural moments. Without a doubt has a passion for photography and takes pride in her work. It was also easy to view our pictures on Pixieset and choose our favorites after the shoot.

In the interests of full disclosure, I was provided my photography session in exchange for my review.

She and her husband split time up that morning so that they can be in 2 places at the same time- where the guys were, and where I was with my bridesmaids. They were really easy to work with, and the photos came back very quickly. She took the time to edit the photos and it was so fun to relive that morning again- she captured a lot of really fun and candid shots that I can't wait to put in my album. Highly recommended and extremely professional- hope I get the chance to work with her again! Thanks Mic!!

I was so impressed, that I had my cousin do her High School Senior Portraits with Persia. Persia took the time to understand my cousins portrait desires and they turned out amazing. She did not take any "traditional" pictures- they were all done in random places in Sacramento. I cannot explain how happy we were with the pictures. Persia is a true professional and you will be beyond happy with her work.

I wanted to share what an awesome experience I had with Ben the photographer!…read more From the initial phone call to meeting in person everything was very pleasant and professional. He expressed a passion for not only his work but also that our needs were met and that he and us were all on the same page as far as expectations. So, without hesitation we hired him on to do our wedding! The pictures came out fantastic! He created an album for us as well as included a digital disc of all of our pictures plus a website that we could share with our friends and family who don't live in the area. If you're looking for a great photographer look no further trust and believe you won't be disappointed!!!!

As good as it gets, and best quality, experience and value for your money!!!…read more All the works - the expertise, professionalism, experience, the cost and the final product - to our satisfaction. With over 20+ years of photography experience, Ben Tran is awesome. This guy is the real deal. He was the photographer for our wedding on 12-05-2015, and we were very satisfied. He works with his wife Shelly, and them working as a team just make things much easier. They arrived early, very well-dressed for the occassion and ready to work the moment they arrived. Ben familiarized and oriented himself very well with the event, location and people for more meaningful picture-taking strategies. Very honest, respectful, patient, friendly, fun and creative. He is very attentive to details and listens to our requests. Everyone at our wedding was very impressed with Ben. Our pictures were ready in less than a week. We had our hardcopy pictures in the album, a softcopy CD and online ecopy. Our event even appeared more elegant than how they were with the way Ben captured our wedding event in pictures. His rates and fees are very reasonable compared to everything else available in town. Truly, quality and affordability combined. Check out their website. I very highly recommend L&B Studios!!! Thank you so much Ben & Shelly.

So it's been over a year since my wedding, and the ladies just posted a few "trash the dress"…read morephotos on Facebook (our session was only yesterday!!) and I might just die from excitement. But I should probably back up to where we left off: To recap, Red Carpet Studios gives you two gals, all day, as many spots as you like, for the day of the wedding. The women are talented and will do their best to capture all angles of your wedding (romantic, fun, wild, endearing, vibrant, etc). And they're fun to be around. I really really wanted to get the photo books for the parents in time for the holidays so that we could present them in person. Monica worked incredibly hard touching up the photos, presenting me with ideas and options. To the point that we were emailing photos and ideas in the middle night! Every time I got a new batch of photos to look at I was always more impressed and more excited. Thanks to Monica's help (& Monica & Stephanie for taking such great photos) the books turned out great!! (for the sake of full disclosure there was a tiny border issue after printing which Monica had fixed immediately. She was willing to do everything to make our experience & the books perfect, and the border thing wasn't even her fault!) Our parents trotted the books all over America for a good three months showing them to everyone they could. Actually i should check my mother purse, the book might still be in there.... Two thumbs up for the small books, now on to our album. I was supposed to pick maybe 80 photos, I think I narrowed our 800+ photos down to about 200. Otherwise, the book planning process was easy; pick a list of photos, send list to Monica, get a full design back. The design had cover options, lay out options, and what Monica recommended. With only 1 or 2 tweaks we were done with the design and our order was off to Italy. What we got back is the best wedding album I have ever seen. This 14"x10" (rough dimensions) leather bound album with a photo as the cover is fantastic. I don't have to do anything, this beauty shows itself off!! I love flipping through all the old photos. Not only did these ladies take fantastic photos of us they captured the people we love. Some of the best photos that I have of grandfather, may he rest in peace, are from this wedding. He was so vibrant at the wedding, and they really captured that. The wedding album is extraordinary. Part of the package we got included an engagement shoot, but instead I wanted to do a "trash the dress" session. A session where we get to take photos we might have been afraid to take the day of the wedding / a chance to wear my dress again!! The past year has been kind of crazy and I really appreciate that the girls didn't pressure me into doing the shoot right away. It allowed me to time to prepare for the shoot, save money for flowers, hair & make-up. My first objective was that the shoot had to involve horses (which I do not currently own) and I wasn't comfortable just renting any old pony out. Lucky for us, the girls have a friend who was nice enough to let us use her horse in the photos. The photo shoot was a grand old day sitting/rolling/laying in the grass, and feeding apples to Dollar (the horse). We had a lot of fun and I was looking forward to seeing photos. I am absolutely blown away by the photos they posted today.. I mean, I have always loved their work, but these pictures take my breath away, and I AM IN THEM!!!!! I hope these girls can tolerate me, because when I need amazing photos I know exactly who to call. I definitely think you should call them too :)
