Before attending my first Yelp event this year, I was already searching for a photographer to…read morecapture some glimpses of my life when I'd celebrate becoming 40 in Oct. Adam was the guy at every Yelp event I went and I watched him at work and the results of his unique perspectives of people, life, events, etc. Though cautious whom I befriend on Facebook, I didn't hesitate to send him friend request because I get to see some of his works, especially enjoyed the ones of his adorable daughter. Choosing him among 4 candidates to take my celebratory photos was not a hard decision and he did a perfect job. My friends who own the Pilates studio where the photo shooting took place said they had paid more $$ for less quality work. I am so happy to see the better than expected captures he took of me and it will be always a fond memory!

You know that socially awkward photographer at weddings?? Well Adam isn't one of those!! I did my…read moretime as a Wedding Coordinator for Marriott and I've seen my share of them! You know what I'm talking about, the ones that are too timid to get a good shot to the ones that setup their tripod in the middle of everyone's view. Adam's skills are truly a talent, he doesn't stay in one place trying to setup the right angle and get soooo artsy that he misses the great moments that are happening around him, he finds the best of both worlds. Let's face it, some people are naturally photogenic and well... Some might have a face for radio. Adam has the ability to capture people as if they were posed. The shots are in the moment but look as if the person was staged, so the ugly cry face or weird angles aren't something you have to be worried about seeing on Yelp. Mr Perfect Personality! He's fun and energetic, it makes you want to take snap some shots of him, which I've done at every event that he's been at. However, he wants to capture people doing what they're doing, not yelling at them to look at him. If I could redo my wedding I would have hired him. We can t go back in time, so make sure you keep him in mind for your future events, I know I will!

We had a phenomenal experience with Michelle today. We booked the newborn session which also…read moreincluded family photos and sibling photos. She is professional, extremely pleasant and friendly. She is SO patient. My newborn was wide awake before the shoot started and she took her time...(2 hours or more) helping me get the baby to sleep (mixture of me nursing and Michelle swaying/singing to baby). Eventually baby fell into deep sleep and we got excellent, I mean excellent pictures. For the moms out there, Michelle has everything you need. She even thought of things that I never ever ever thought she would have (for example: a boppy pillow for nursing, space heater to keep newborn warm, white noise on blast to help soothe infant !). She is so very thoughtful. Michelle is a down to earth professional and I wish we could have had this experience with our first baby. Or even for our wedding or maternity photos. We found her late, but better late than never! She did just move to the area from washington earlier this year. The price is affordable for all the detail and time she takes with her clients. I would do this again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Michelle!!

We had a very easy Zoom meeting with her to discuss our vision and plan for the day. We were glad to secure our date with a reasonable downpayment. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, we had an additional call to finalize details and key shots we hoped to get. The day of, Talitha came with an incredible team who worked together seamlessly. They clearly are very experienced working together to efficiently manage lighting and we had a second-shooter as well. Many people commented how professional the team was. The initial photos we have seen are gorgeous and timeless treasures. We are beyond thrilled with these memories being captured so artistically. The communication with Talitha was efficient and comfortable during the whole experience. The pricing is very clear on the website as well which made planning easier. We would highly recommend this photographer to anyone, and especially to same-sex couples who want to work with someone who feels like an ally.

Making sure all the vendors are set up and everyone has everything they need as well as making sure you have everything you need is A LOT. Talitha really captured the evening and all of the beautiful big and little moments throughout. We were already huge cry babies during that day, but when we got a preview of the portfolio, it was like we were transported and the tears started flowing all over again. I cannot express how eternally grateful we are for how the pictures turned out! If you are on the fence, don't be. She's the one. Thank you for everything, Talitha!

The good, the bad, and the review…read more.. We used Kevin's for our wedding in September of 2014. They are fairly expensive, but we wanted to splurge on pictures because we felt they were very important. We got a lot of great pictures, don't get me wrong. However, we got zero close up face photos and zero pictures of our hands with our rings. Overall, the pictures that were taken were great, and a few were very exceptional at the Botanic Gardens. I did have to tell the photographer, (not Kevin) that we were "for sure" doing photos from across the water (this is the reason we chose Kevin's in the first place) even though he disagreed with me about it at first after our ceremony and during our couple shoot. I'm so glad we did because these turned out to be our favorite pictures of the day. Maybe he traded any close up pictures for across the water pictures in his mind time wise? He could have been stressed about time since we were running behind schedule. I will definitely take the blame for that one, though I'm sure most weddings run slightly behind schedule. I am disappointed that I don't have close up face pictures of me and my hubby on our special day. Also, I'll I don't have a traditional picture of our hands together with rings. I was hoping for some more artistic touches and special, quiet, romantic, serious moments. There were no plays on black and white with one color in the editing or anything like that. However, the across the water pictures are absolutely EXCEPTIONAL. I have mixed emotions about this review. Both exceptional photos, yet some missed moments also. I'm sure it's nearly impossible to remember everything in a limited amount of time. A HUGE plus is that the photographer was very kind, fun and made our bridal party and family feel relaxed... Especially during the reception. As a tip for any wedding photographer, I would definitely write down the EXACT photos you want in advance so you aren't left without something that's important to you. It's something you won't think of on your special day and you rely on the photographer to call most of the shots. There is stress on the photographer as well, so some things can just be forgotten. We didn't get to meet with our specific photographer to discuss what photos we really wanted before our wedding day. I did chat with him over the phone, but I should have been more proactive about meeting with him in person. Overall, some very exceptional photos and a good experience.

Once we got the proofs back, we knew this is who we would hire for our wedding. What I really love about Kevin is how daring and creative he is. He ask my husband and I to stand on the ledge of a building for the perfect shot. As nervous as I was, I'm so happy we did it. We ended up with the most iconic wedding photo ever on top of the banquet loft building in downtown Albuquerque (photo attached). I highly recommend Kevin and his team.

I've worked with Eleanore in a professional capacity several times now, and I've never been less…read morethan totally impressed and satisfied. From the moment she walks in the door this woman gets to work, which happens to be one of my favorite aspects of the final "product", if you call a portfolio of an evening such a thing. Eleanore isn't only good at capturing the event itself, she also finds the moments you'd otherwise miss, especially if you're too preoccupied with hosting the proceedings to spot the small stuff. She's everywhere. As far as execution is concerned, she's also exceptionally efficient without jeopardizing the quality of the work. Across the board she's nailed time frames, usually beating deadlines hands down, and typically during the process she'll discover an artistic angle (effect or color or shading) that adds character to the overall work. She always checks with me before proceeding with these editorial efforts, and I've always approved. You'll find her presence quirky, sweet, unobtrusive and professional, and if there are bumps in the road they only occur because she's too anxious to hit life's pause button before a moment is lost forever. We've shot indoors, outdoors, portraits, food, wine, even a murder mystery. The girl is GOOD.

I have never had someone who made me feel so at ease or so beautiful. The pictures we received were a testament to her skill, particularly where my unusual engagement ring was concerned.

I highly recommend her if you're looking for professional, quirky, rapid, professional work that is never cold or sterile.
