Technology Association of Oregon used Jason DeSomer to photograph two events in 2016 - Oregon…read moreTechnology Awards in May and Party in the Pinot in July. We were blown away by his shots. His images capture the spirit of our events and eliminate the contrived photos that are typical of awards ceremonies and outdoor events. He is extremely professional, and non-intrusive while interacting with guests. He captures the moment at our events in so many different ways we can't quite figure out how he got from here to there in that amount of time - but its impressive. And he provides our photos quickly so we can send them out to our community in a timely manner. In 2017 we booked early to lock down those two events, and two more our Kickoff Party in January and Kickball Tournament in August. When planning events you are always looking for great vendors who, in addition to providing stellar service, make your life easier the day of the big event. Jason DeSomer does this, and I can't recommend his services enough.

Jason was everything I was looking for in a photographer, and more!…read more I was searching for a photographer online and Jason's work stood out to me because he has an eye for great camera angles and subject placement, and his photos were very crisp and clear with great lighting and editing (something I found lacking in many others' portfolios). When I emailed him, his quotes were clear and reasonable, and he outlined everything in detail. I was modeling some outfits for a photo shoot in my house. Thankfully, Jason had a lot of great ideas for posing and I already knew the photos would turn out amazing! (I've done shoots with other photographers where I was given no direction and most of the photos came out awkward or meh). I was very happy with the shoot and the photos I received. I would definitely work with Jason again, and recommend him to anyone needing quality photos!

They were a dream to work with and I'm so glad we snatched them up before they got too busy during the summer! Sara and Dylan have the kind of photography style every couple dreams of - even if the couple has very little idea of what they want or need. They are mind readers and mind blowers. On the day of the wedding, they were Zen masters, making sure to get those precious moments caught on camera and all the while staying in the background and letting my future hubby and I enjoy the spotlight. I wanted to get some sunset photos done during the reception and Sara was on top of it, reminding us while we danced and celebrated the night away. Through their website, we knew Sara and Dylan were good, but we had no idea how fantastic and emotional their images of our special day were going to turn out. Looking at the pictures now, I'm instantly transported to that moment and I can remember everything - the sounds, lights, the buzz in the air and all the emotions running around. It may be an image frozen in time but each time I look at it, I feel it all, over and over again. Their work is timeless, and every couple should have that. If I had enough money in the world, I would purchase these 2 exclusively and have them follow us around, photographing our life, making it look every bit as dreamy and beautiful as we imagine it in our heads. Book them immediately or you'll regret it while you're stuck swooning over their amazing images. Or I'll finally win the lottery and buy them exclusively for myself!

We booked Powers almost a year in advance because I fell in love with their work at the Seattle Bridal Show. It is evident that they want to be sure they met our needs. We took a couple of surveys to help determine our photographic preferences and assign us to the appropriate photographer. Both Natalia and Laurel were super flexible and willing to talk through ideas and contract changes with me. The night of the wedding was a total blast with Laurel and Rachel! Laurel's creative eye was unbeatable! We just received a "sneak peek" of our photos and they are stunning. I would work with Powers again and again because I trust their system, their staff and their photographers - 110% worth the investment.

I hired Powers Studios, and fell for their marketing…read more I had good engagement photos, but I didn't like the wedding photos. I was sold on the extra photographer because their explanation was one would be aimed at us, and one at guests for the same events (to get a fuller picture). Nope, many of our shots were two photographers from different angles. We did their online form and hired them just a few months before our wedding. Somehow they told us the two we selected as our top photographers were available. I kinda feel like it was not true and just propaganda. I just wanted a few photos that I can print and show around my home. I spent $500 after the wedding to take more photos. Also, part of my anger is that my family is latino, and dark skinned. Nearly all of the photos did not include my family. I gave them a list of 4-5 people that were important to us and to get photos (my dad, my aunt). I have one photo of my aunt where she's the focus (she was my mother figure growing up) and she's looking from the side, and I have I believe 3 of my dad. I'm not sure how this happened, but I do have one of my dad that I just love. I asked for about two dozen to get edited one way or another and they tried to charge me just to do that thing you see online where only one color is highlighted in a photo and the rest is greyscale. I couldn't believe the audacity that to do that to just two photos they would charge me. There's free online software, but when you spend around $1k for photographers, you'd think they could spend a short amount of time. Pros: quick turnaround on engagement photos, good engagement photos, friendly Cons: treated me like they were doing me a favor, second photographer was not noticeably adding a benefit, poor photo quality (I'll attach some of the ones they sent me), did not take photos of two of the people I asked to be highlighted, didn't take many photos of the dark skinned people at my wedding. This is one of the most expensive photographers we sought a quote from, so I expected better. In response to my post, Seppi wishes I had reached out to him sooner. I emailed him multiple times regarding not the quality and costs. No offer for reshoot, refund were offered. His response is dose genius. After posting this a coworker told me her friends had the same experience of disappointment with this studio.

Justine is an amazing photographer. We used her for our engagement photos, wedding photos and my…read moreBoudoir photos. We wanted a photographer who could capture our story and could produce vintage-like photos that weren't over-posed. She met all our needs and then some. She has a very special quality about her photos that are journalistic, and she captures the essence of you as a couple. If you want photos that are fun, truly memorable, well composed, minimally touched up, beautifully vintage and tell your story - then she is perfect for you. She also offers very reasonably priced packages, which come with a lot of extras. Most photographers charge outrageous prices for very little, but she is fair and reasonable. She is responsive, was on time for all events, and extremely accommodating when things didn't go as planned. On the day of the wedding, she was professional and took care of everything. You barely knew she was there outside of formal photos. She got our photos to us very quickly and we couldn't have been happier with them - we didn't have one issue. She's so incredibly nice and relaxed and just has fun with you. I believe we have found our photographer for life and we highly recommend Justine. You won't be disappointed!

Briana photographed our wedding in Seattle, and we're so happy with how our photos turned out!…read more While planning our wedding, we were looking for an observant photographer that captured genuine moments with a tasteful sensibility -- Briana was a perfect fit! Briana was a pleasure to work with, and she made a point to get to know us. Generously, Briana included an engagement shoot with the package as well as complimentary gifts and prints before and even after the wedding. And despite being based in Portland, she made the roughly 3 hour trip up to Seattle for our engagement shoot and wedding. Throughout the process, we were constantly impressed by her professionalism and responsiveness. At the start, Briana clearly outlined a roadmap for the months and days leading up to the wedding. And despite how hectic the day of our wedding was, Briana kindly kept us on track while photographing us and our families in various locations around Seattle. We couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out and would highly recommend Briana for any engagement shoot and wedding photography needs!

Sara has been taking my family photos for 3 years now and I cannot say enough how wonderful she is…read more First off, she connects beautifully with my daughter and has from the start (she's taken our photos since she was just under 2, she's now 4) which makes all the difference in truly capturing a little one. She always captures the perfect balance of my daughter's mischief and beauty which is a hard thing to capture when she's running wild through a beautiful park. For us Mamas, these kinds of photos are pure gold and I treasure them. My husband is also a bit of a whiner when it comes to taking family photos but Sara puts him at ease too. We all end up laughing the entire time and rather than some family photo sessions dragging and feeling long and exhausting, ours go by so fast and we have a blast. I'd also like to mention her turnaround on getting the photos back is super fast and she always throws in black and whites for me so we have an amazing mix of color and bw. Every year I send the download link for the photos to my Mom and she insists on writing Sara directly to rave about her amazing work (and my Mom is not easily impressed). I can't recommend Sara enough and look forward to her capturing our family for all the years to come.
