I recently worked with Jess when I needed a portrait style headshot for a business I was starting…read more From the moment I walked into her office, Jess was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and informative. Jess explained the process and pricing, and promptly sent forms and contracts that corresponded with our conversations to outline and finalize details. She spent a great deal of time discussing with me what were my needs and exploring possibilities for the overall look and feel of the photo I desired. The shoot itself was SO fun. Jess knows how to put you at ease and also gives direction and has an eye for detail. She'd move a hair that was out of place or tell me to lean forward or shift my weight if a pose I was going for didn't look quite right, etc. She also had a lovely assistant whose kind and easy-going demeanor was a bonus. Jess made this feel like a boutique experience: like I would imagine if going to a "big city" and working with the best in their field. If a photographer can have bedside manner- Jess is a 10! She is obviously technically skilled as well, so to have the full package was a find. She would offer her perspective but would also listen to my feedback and wants without condescension. The final product came out beautiful, and what struck me most about the whole experience was the time Jess spent with me to make sure she understood my needs and could provide photos that would be "on brand" and visually communicate the message I wanted to send to prospective clients. HIGHLY recommend this talented artist.

She was wonderful to work with, very thorough, always works with a contract, responsive via email and phone, and prepared in advance, setting expectations for the experience. She arrived on time and captured the event experience as we discussed beforehand. She was clear about pricing and was able to edit the contract to fit our needs for timing and payment along with a timeframe in which she'd send the photos, which she did through Google Drive. They turned out beautifully and she featured a few on her blog! Can't wait for the opportunity to work with her again!

My company is looking to change up our headshots from professional to more relaxed and we hired…read moreKelly for the job. She was such a pleasure to work with. If you're like me, getting pics completed in a photo shoot like session, I'm totally uncomfortable in front of the camera. Kelly did such a wonderful job in ensuring I felt comfortable and explored different poses. I even saw she does senior pics and my son will be a senior next year. I'm considering hiring her for the job. Located in the Village Gate area. Parking was easy and door 1 was easy to find. Navigating to the 4th floor (door pic attached) was easy as well. Loved the history of the building that Kelly told me about as well as the preserved historic look of the building. Highly recommend.

When it comes to Alec, the only word I can come up with is "wow". Alec was referred to us from our…read moreDJ and we were not misled. When you book with Alec, you get an engagement photo shoot, a save-the-date, wedding shoot, wedding photos on a flash drive, and a wedding photo album. You also have the option to purchase the engagement photo flash drive and any photo prints. From the second the engagement shoot started, you can tell Alec is all about his work. And boy does he love it. He isn't afraid to get on the ground, climb things, juggle 100 items just for the perfect shot. As long as you're willing to work with Alec's creativity, he cannot be stopped. Every photo we have ever received has been absolute perfection. You can see the love he puts into the photos and the editing. Alec is even so amazing at communicating; from the booking to what he wants you to do for the photo. Alec is a man of passion and we know we have a photographer for life.

Don't hire this man if you actually want to remember your wedding in a good light. As a photographer this man uses low f-stops and deep depth to hide the fact he can't compose for shit. But beside that he fucks over brides and never sends photos.

We went with Paul from North 40 photography for our wedding last September and were not…read moredisappointed! Considering we were living in California and getting married in upstate NY, it was almost a shot in the dark. Of course we had checked out the website and instantly fell in love with his style. We got married at the Glen Iris Inn which is inside a state park that has a gigantic waterfall in the background. Paul "threw in" a second photographer for no extra charge because I guess it's a good place to build up your portfolio which worked for us : ) The assistant met with my husband and his friends to capture them getting ready, while Paul came to take pictures of me and my girls. They were both very personable, outgoing and professional. They really took care of us on our big day and did an amazing job capturing so many wonderful moments. The pictures and our wedding album came out perfect!

If there's one thing you should take away from this review - it's that Matt is an incredibly…read moretalented photographer and you'll have no regrets hiring him for your wedding. Read on to learn why! We found Matt after admiring his work on Instagram. We loved his eye for candid moments. And while Matt doesn't like the word "moody", we loved his use of natural light and "romantic" *cough* *moody* photography style. ;) With a background in video/photo production, searching for a photographer was a serious, time-consuming task for me. I had a very specific style of photography in mind, as well as a budget to adhere to. I waited a very long time before ultimately reaching out to Matt (only because he was actually a little outside of our budget) ...but I kept finding myself gravitating towards his work. And after our first call, in my gut I knew - he was who we were looking for. **PLANNING** You don't have to be a bride to know how important communication is when planning a wedding. Matt was super responsive via email (even if it was to tell us he would respond at a later point) and always available to schedule a call when he wasn't already shooting a wedding. After a call to see if we were a good fit, he followed up promptly with a contract, booking form and my own portal to his site where everything would be stored. LOVE IT! Bookmark that shizz ladies... Closer to the wedding, we jumped on a call to walk through his typical shot list and customized it to our day. Matt helped us consider the best ways to utilize him as a photographer, but also gave us a few ideas on how to keep our guests happy while we were off taking sunset photos. CAKE, CAKE, CAKE, CAKE... ;D **PRICING** Matt's prices are obviously subject to change as his fame and talent grow... ;D But brides, I also know how extremely frustrating it is to be looking at photographers (or any vendor for that matter) and not know what anyone charges!! (Know your audience wedding vendors - list your prices!!) At the time we hired Matt, we hired him for a "Partial Day" which included 8hrs of coverage for $3500. He also had "Full Day" (12hrs - $4000) + "Elopement" (2hrs - $1200) packages. And offered a second shooter for $300/$250 for the day. MATT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY! His partial/full day packages also include an "Engagement Session" which I believe is very important in getting to know your photographer. Unfortunately, my husband + I live in San Diego, and so nowhere near Matt or where we were getting married. He worked with us to reflect this in his package, and ultimately fit within our budget. *Whatapro! We also didn't hire a second shooter...and honestly not so sure we needed one. Matt covered a lot of ground. **DAY OF...** Matt came out early to our venue and scouted around for sunset and family shots to put our minds at ease. And as we started to arrive he offered to help with anything we might need. #sweetheart. He knew when to be assertive and give us some much-needed direction and how to fade into the shadows and let a moment play out for that perfect candid. I think the biggest surprise of our wedding day was hearing from all our guests how much they LOVED our photographer. I wasn't surprised by the fact Matt is a sweet guy, we already knew that. We loved him too. But think about that...how many weddings have you been to where you told the couple you loved their photographer? But after reviewing all our beautiful photos, we understand why. He did an amazing job of capturing all the love, joy and beauty that was our wedding day. And we are forever thankful! I feel like I can't possibly capture everything in a review so feel free to message me if any questions!
