We loved having Amber as our wedding photographer! Amber was incredibly easy to work with:…read moreresponsive, organized, and genuinely enjoyable to be around. Having her husband, Brian, as our videographer was an added bonus. They worked so seamlessly together and made my husband and me feel completely at ease all day. We actually had fun taking photos, which is something I never expected to say. When we received our gallery, we were blown away, not only by how beautiful the photos were, but by how quickly she delivered them. The quality exceeded our expectations, and we truly felt like we received an incredible value. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, and makes the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish, I can't recommend Amber enough. Looking back, choosing her was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Amber was absolutely incredible!!!! She got all of the shots I asked for and made the day so easy…read moreand fun!!!!

Sharon did a great job on our wedding photos back in March!…read more We were with Electra Cruises and they provided us with their preferred photographers. I looked through their website and we chose Sharon. She knows the boat very well, the locations, the lighting, the whole process...Admittedly, a wedding on a boat is very different, more different than I expected, on a boat from a wedding at a regular venue. If you have chosen one of the boats, please make sure you find an experienced photographer with your venue, whichever boat it is. Sharon was very good at communicating beforehand. She sent me a questionnaire to fill out to learn more about the wedding. Every time I sent something new to her, she would send me back with an updated plan. I thought that was very assuring for a bride to know exactly what we were expecting on the wedding day. The day of, she was very professional and she would direct us how to pose for our pictures. As you know, people freeze in front of cameras. Thanks to her, we had fun and also good photos. One thing that was really impressive was that she was good with kids and our little puppy. She knew how to get their attentions, well of course other guests as well. Overall, we enjoyed our wedding day and our wedding photos with Sharon and her assistant. We would recommend her, especially for those events on Electra Cruises.

My husband and I got married on the Athena through Electra Cruises. I wanted another photographer,…read morebut he wasn't available, he referred Sharon Pulcino. It was my second wedding, so we didn't need a lot of photos, just the sunset, pictures with the kids and our families. I chose Electra's basic pkg. I should have seen the RED FLAG when Sharon told me the basic pkg was for "FILM" not digital photos. She said if I choose the basic pkg, she will take a few rolls of pics and hand me the film at the end of the wedding. If I wanted the FILM processed and scanned, it will cost me an additional $200. I told her I didn't realize photographers were still using film. She said she will do digital if I wanted to pay an additional $100 and she would "process them." I called Tabatha at Electra about this. She said their photography package does indeed state "film photos," but it was a very old form they just hadn't updated. I also called a couple of photographers on Electra's list and NOBODY uses film anymore. Tabatha spoke with Sharon. Sharon responded to me with an email saying "I'll go ahead & create a special package for you. 200 photos on CD with light processing for Electra's basic package price - no upgrade charges." I explained to Sharon the main reason I wanted to have an evening wedding was to capture the sunset for our photos. Unfortunately, she didn't capture any pictures of the sun setting behind us during our portraits, but she got a couple of shots of our guests. I received the wedding CD after the wedding with an email from Sharon stating "Electra's package is a download & burn only...digital has an amber cast on facial tones that needs to be corrected. Also I noticed blacks need to be lower in some photos. Properly process all the files $250." According to Sharon, the "processing" she previously mentioned "is only to convert to JPG"!! She's right, our pictures did have an amber cast on facial tones and some pictures were dark! This woman is outrageously shameless! She is constantly trying to extort people for more money and taking advantage of people wanting/needing good pictures for a moment you can never recapture!! I contacted the other photographers on the list and asked if they "process" their pictures before giving them to the customers. They all said absolutely! They adjust the lighting and process all the pictures. They said not doing so would be handing over an incomplete product. I called Electra and got the runaround from Jason the manager. He had an attitude like he couldn't care less and basically told me I got what's described in the package. After explaining what the other photographers said, he finally said he would contact Sharon for a special favor and ask her to "process" the pictures. Well, Sharon sent me another disc. She wasn't even professional enough to use a new one (cost 5 cents?). It had somebody else's name scratched off on it. I almost cried when I saw my wedding pictures. Every single one of them had a blue hue/shadow to it. She didn't fix them, she made them worse!!!! I called Jason at Electra again. He was extremely rude this time and told me he did everything he could. I guess once Electra has your money, you're kicked to the curb. I finally told him I was going to write a bad review about Electra, he argued that they had nothing to do with it. I told him Creative Vision Photography was their vendor and I would have never used them if Sharon Pulcino wasn't on their list of PREFERRED vendors. He changed his attitude and told me Sharon should have known better, she worked for Electra as a wedding coordinator for many years.......He said he would "pay" Jerry Kelly (the photographer I originally wanted to use) to fix my photos. Jerry did and they came out so much better!! I hope you read this about my horrible experience before choosing your photographer.

I chose to have professional hair and makeup there at her studio before, which I also highly recommended. For my session we walked around downtown LB and she helped me come out of my shell and show my personality in my photos. I got a little taste of what a celebrity might feel like, which was super fun! The final photos speak for themselves and I couldn't be happier.

From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, which was especially helpful since neither of us had done a professional photoshoot before. Chelsea has an incredible eye for lighting, composition, and natural moments. She gave us just enough direction while still allowing us to be ourselves, and the photos turned out even better than we could have imagined. She captured our personalities and the excitement of such a special milestone perfectly. Beyond her talent, Chelsea is kind, professional, responsive, and genuinely passionate about her work!! The entire session was fun, relaxed, and something we'll always remember in Laguna!

It's May 2024. Finally feeling better about who I see when I look in the mirror and ready to use my…read moreremaining sessions, I emailed Camryn - no response. I texted her the following week - still no reply. The same person who was all "Hey girlfriend" in my texts in 2021 now sent a cold, canned email from her CRM: "Per our agreement, your sessions are good for one year." And she needs to stay "true to her business policies." She offered a 45-minute mini-session in her studio as a consolation for the two remaining three-hour sessions at my location (a $3k value), or she wished me well. It felt patronizing and dismissive, a stark contrast to the supportive figure I believed her to be. Let's go back to February 2021. When I first met Camryn, I was impressed. I liked her energy, and she seemed genuinely dedicated to supporting female entrepreneurs, so I was all about supporting her business. Our Zoom call was promising. Camryn outlined the package: four three-hour sessions for a $6k investment. We discussed my website launch, the shots I would need, my wardrobe, and more. However, there was no mention of session expiration--neither on the call, on her sales page, nor in any of our subsequent emails or texts. Trust me, I went back and checked to be sure I wasn't crazy. Instead, it was tucked away in the fine print of her HoneyBook contract, sent when she collected payment--a detail I missed entirely. Had I known the sessions had to be used every 90 days over the next year, I never would have purchased such a big package. As a busy business owner, new mom, and wife, I can't commit to photoshoots every quarter. Seriously, who can? I had my first session in March 2021 and another in April 2021 with my team. The pictures were great, and the website launched. For the time being, I was set. Later that year, I had a baby, gained weight, and dealt with some major postpartum blues. The last thing I wanted was to look at a camera for a while. Camryn sends marketing emails almost weekly. Yet she never sent a single reminder about the expiring sessions, which would have been a decent thing to do, knowing I had two unused sessions. Not one, "Hey girl, it's getting close to a year. Let's get you scheduled." Nope, nothing. Nada. Instead, she acted like Groupon, waiting for the deal to expire so she could take my money without delivering the service. I understand having policies, but when you offer a service with such a high investment, you should remind your clients of expiring sessions. If you have to bury it in your fine print and never speak of it directly, that's a problem. I'd never treat a client the way Camryn treated me. If she had said, "You know, I'm swamped for the next three months, but if you want to pick a Tuesday in the fall, I can help you," it would have been a different story. Be careful when choosing Camryn. It's not about finding a photographer who will tell you if you have camel toe or food in your teeth. I want to work with a decent human who treats their clients with empathy and respect. Unfortunately, that's not Camryn. If life happens, she will stick to her business fine print and hope you go away.
