    Leaving a five star review for our wedding!! Luis did a beautiful job capturing our special day. We…read moregot compliments from everyone!

    AITA!!! We hired…read moreLuis to do our wedding photography last November 23', we had hired him prior to do our nieces Quince so we knew he was on time and worked hard We waited 2 months after our wedding before reaching out for our pictures, he stated that he was almost done with them, to give him til the end of the week, then a few more days, then he got sick. My wife and I are all about family and we understand that things in life happen. We had no rush to get our photos; around February we messaged again, and then around April-May he began posting on his IG, he seems better so we gave him more time, around July we reached out and no response, my wife and I were busy moving and having our life events, so again, no rush. LATE SEPTEMBER COMES and my wife reached out AGAIN, but this time she requested to have a talk about a partial refund, he ignored my wife's email for about a week and responded with something along the lines of "I had already sent you the link, your pictures were done a while back"; my wife and I checked her email, spam folder, text messages and missed calls....NOTHING! He used this email as a reason to not look bad, and to top it off, he sent us over 1,200 pictures, a lot, right? We liked about 5 pictures of us and about 12 of the whole 8+ hour wedding. Most of the photos are repeats. Imagine 1 picture, with an average of 5-7 duplicates and perhaps different filters on them. He had what appeared to be the same picture almost 20x with different filters. I thought we were clear on the pictures we wanted but I guess we weren't because: 1) he didn't capture details from our wedding that we had asked for, like our whole wedding cake, sweethearts table, or handmade chandeliers that a friend gifted us for decorations, 2) the wedding cake and the toppers weren't fully visible, either the cake or the toppers are blurry, not 1 picture shows both just right. This was the same for other wedding details, like our wedding favors. 3) he captured maybe 2-3 events where we were happy to see our guests having fun, we loved those pictures, but the rest seems like our wedding had no "life" in it, which is difficult for a Mexican wedding of 200+ people to not have 4) our church! 1 thing we loved about our church were the colors that the sun rays give off once they hit these beautiful stained glass windows. Idk if he had the contrast too high or if it was during his editing, but there was no color in them! (Which should have been captured because people complemented our church, and I clearly remember seeing the beautiful green, yellow, blue, red light shining through these windows. There were a handful of pictures where he did capture a bit of the red, weren't great, but were nicer) 5) most of our pictures were high in contrast, had no color (we got married at an olive ranch, beautiful green trees, like 2 show the greenery, other than that, they're too bright! 6) he didn't capture a good close up of our first kiss at the church. 7) my wife had apparently insisted on him and made sure he understood that she wanted my first look reaction, which he later tried to stage. I'm not gonna lie, we were probably difficult to work with, he stayed a lot longer than he should've, but I'd like to believe we treated him kindly and fairly. Luis can work a lot better with posed photos, like with graduation shoots, but I would NOT recommend him for candids, weddings, or any big important events that are shot live. We feel like we were his guinea pigs for this wedding shoot. And I have texted, called and emailed him VARIOUS TIMES! Even through social media, IG, and he has not tried to get a hold of us. He has been ignoring us for a long time. I doubt we'll be able to get any type of refund or fixed photos, and we still had our late engagement shoot with him (as part of the package we paid for), but I doubt it'll happen because he does not respond. I wish I didn't have to leave a bad review, I hate to do this, since we got along well the day of, but we could've worked something out. He ROBBED us of some dear memories, I wish that could be an exaggeration, but unfortunately I suffer from a slight memory loss (from a TBI) where I must see proof to remember some things. This is the person you'll be working with if you hire Luis for a wedding. Attached some pictures and I blurred peoples faces to protect their identities. These were some of the common style of pictures he took.

    We cannot recommend Constance enough! After our original photographer did a complete no call, no…read moreshow for our newborn son's photo shoot, we were stressed, disappointed, and worried we'd miss those precious early moments. She truly came to the rescue. Not only did she respond quickly, but she was able to fit us into her schedule within just a few days. From the moment she arrived, she was professional, calm, and incredibly patient with our newborn. She handled our son with such care and made the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable during what can be a very overwhelming time for new parents. The photos turned out absolutely stunning -- more beautiful than we could have imagined. She captured the sweetest little details and moments that we will treasure forever. Her talent, kindness, and willingness to step in last-minute meant so much to our family. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and exceptionally talented, look no further. We are beyond grateful for her and would book her again in a heartbeat!

Really liking her style of photography, we scheduled a newborn photo session with Constance at the end of November with our two week old son. Constance was incredibly responsive and professional. Not only that, she is a baby photo whisperer - she had a bunch of helpful suggestions to help our time together go smoothly. She brought a whole bag of adorable outfits and props, and she was happy to let us choose some of our own outfits, too. For this session we decided to stay home and take photos around our house and yard, and they turned out beautifully. We are so pleased with these special keepsakes! Constance also made it easy to review the raw photo collection after the shoot, choose the ones we wanted, and deliver the final files all online. She also offers large size prints! In the future I'd love to do an on-location shoot with our son in the redwoods of Oakland. I already have ideas :) Thank you, Constance!

    We did a photo shoot with Heather 4 years ago for our son. We loved our prior experience and chose…read moreher for a new born photo shoot for our new born daughter too and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. Heather was incredibly patient, gentle, and so skilled at handling our baby--which made a huge difference for us as new parents. Her studio was warm, calm, and perfectly set up for newborns, with thoughtful props and beautiful backdrops. She has a true eye for detail and captured the sweetest little expressions and moments that we'll treasure forever. What impressed me most was how professional yet personable she was--taking the time to work around our baby's needs while still creating stunning, high-quality photos. The final images are absolutely breathtaking, and I know we'll cherish them for a lifetime. If you're looking for someone talented, caring, and professional to capture your newborn's earliest days, I highly recommend Heather!

    I can't say enough about how incredible Heather is to work with, and how beautiful the results are…read more She was incredibly patient with our newborn, and took so much time and care during the session to create a welcoming environment for the baby and her brother. She worked very closely with us in selecting a flattering color palette and introducing textures that would suit the baby. Her style is very gentle and easygoing; she spends the time to really get to know a family and pays attention to all the details that go into a shoot. When the photos came out, we were truly blown away--they were all so tender and stunning, showcasing not just the miracle of birth, but all the familial love and tenderness. I cannot stop looking at them! We were so delighted that we opted for an album keepsake. I was impressed with how much care and time Heather took making every page perfect, and how she collaborated so well with us. My son is an amateur artist, and she welcomed and integrated all his inputs and built on top of them to create something we will treasure for many years. I wholeheartedly recommend Heather to any family--she is a true artist, and we will definitely be returning to capture more precious moments!

From the moment he arrived, he was constantly on the move, making sure every special moment was captured. He didn't just photograph the big moments--he also took the time to capture all of the little details, from our decorations to the thoughtful touches we spent months planning. Those details meant so much to us, and I know we'll appreciate having those memories preserved. One of the things that stood out most was how comfortable he made everyone feel. Even guests who normally don't like having their picture taken were smiling, laughing, and happily posing for photos. He has such a friendly, easygoing personality that people naturally gravitated toward him. I honestly can't wait to receive the full gallery because the previews alone completely blew me away. As the energy of the party picked up, Luis adapted right along with it. He started incorporating some really creative fisheye lens shots that perfectly captured the fun atmosphere and made the photos feel unique and full of life. He was also incredibly professional and worked seamlessly with the venue staff throughout the evening. In fact, they were so impressed with him that they wanted to add him to their preferred vendor list, which speaks volumes about the quality of his work and how easy he is to work with. Thank you, Luis, for capturing our celebration so beautifully. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer, and we'll cherish these memories for years to come!
