A friend recently got married and chose Chris Hall Photography to do the official wedding…read morephotography. We first met the photographer, Justin, when they did their pre-wedding photos. He was so friendly and approachable and even had us bystanders get involved. He's such a fun character and he made the bride and groom happy and relaxed. That's how it should be for wedding photographs. When the wedding day came around, he was so on the dot with the photos. He captured so many hidden moments. There were times when I wondered if what he took would look good, but when it came up on screen during the reception, I was completely and utterly blown away. He captured the pure essence of the day. Love. It was a windy day outside and he made that work to his advantage and took some of the most creative pictures I've seen. He has amazing skills and professionalism and I highly recommend him to others who are looking for a fantastic photographer.

I recently attended one of Paula and Leigh's photography workshops at That's Me Photography. I got…read morea steal deal (via Scoopon) for just $39. It was a three hour course covering aperture, shutter speed and composition. During the workshop, which ran for three hours, Paula and Leigh answered all of my questions with gusto! They provided free nibbles and wine throughout the evening which I thought was a nice touch. When the evening concluded all of the attendees were provided with information on other courses/workshops offered at the studio and free advice from the hosts following our training. I was really impressed.

To get film prints done in Brisbane is hard enough. Finding a place that still uses a proper light…read moreroom and has staff experienced and skilled enough to use it can be near impossible. Allchromes single-handedly managed to get me through most of my University photography unit because of their dedicated and extremely helpful staff. And they have a student discount! Just walk in with whatever photography problem you might have, like oh I don't know, forgetting if your film was colour or black and white, and they will gladly help you out. Prints can be done in any range of sizes, it's usually cheaper to get them copied onto a CD and printed later if you are just hosting them online, but nothing beats that feeling of getting a few prints back you can hold in your hands.

Morgan photographed our wedding and his photos are some of our favourite memories from the day…read more We've admired his work for a long time and so booking him in was one of the first things we did when we settled on a date. His photos are genuinely works of art, and he captured so many special little moments that I wouldn't have thought to ask for but have become some of my favourite shots. On the day he was professional and hard-working, but also super friendly and relaxed and basically exactly the kind of guy you want to have around. We really can't recommend him highly enough!

What a fabulous experience! We have a blended family and the owners just loved our 3-year-old twins…read moreand even had toys to hold while they were snapping away getting a host of candids - the style of photos we love most. This couple seem to really get into it! They certainly gave us 100% + and were very patient in getting a good range of photos for us. As first-time customers to a proper studio setup, we admit to being impressed. Mary took care of all the little details and loosely set up the photos - our kids did the rest by just mucking around. From the shots we saw in the back of the camera, we can't wait to see our favourites on the big screen. Overall - very impressed. My husband even enjoyed himself - amazing!

We had a photo session booked with Peter the owner and photographer and Mary his assistant and wife…read moreat 10am Saturday for our 4 young children. We arrived at 10.10am for the shoot and Peter confronted us screaming that he had waited 1/2hr and time was money. I calmly explained that we were 10min late (because we had to stop for my 3 year old to go to the toilet) he continued to rant that time was money and if the shoot wasn't over quickly he would just give us our money back. He then angrily directed his wife Mary where to place our children who were quite subdued by his aggression. He then screamed at my kids who were being so impeccable in their behaviour that if they were not absolutely still he would get in his car and drive away and mum and dad won't get their photo. My husband and I were quite shocked and in hindsight wish that we did not continue with the photo shoot. I work in customer relations for an airline and have NEVER heard or seen anyone behaving in this unprofessional, disrespectful and rude manner towards a person. I strongly suggest you don't use Peter at Sheldonlea for a photography session. He made an experience that was meant to be a celebration of our 4 children very harrowing for us and we regret using him. To say the least the smiles in the resulting photo of my children (that I picked up today) are forced as the experience was very unpleasant for our family.

Shaun took our wedding photos in 2013. There was a large variety of photos, and he captured all the…read moreones we wanted. The photos all came on disc which made it simple for us to combine with guests' photos in an album. He was really easy-going and organised on the day.

He's been my Yelp photographer for over two years and I've loved seeing his photography skills have grown each time he's shot one of the events. With venues and style of shots changing with each event, being able to work with a photographer as versatile as he is means I can stress about one less thing when in event-planning mode. Without sounding too much like a Danoz Direct infomercial, I'd happily (and have done so) recommend him to anyone wanting a someone to capture their event whether it's a corporate style shindig, wedding or rock concert. The best thing about a photographer like Andy is he works with you. Yes, you're paying him because he's got the mad skillz with the DSLR, but he understands that, for example, in professional events there's often a set of "must have" shots. With a simple list sent pre-event I always know those shots are taken. His prices are reasonable and quality of shots is always more than I could ask for!
