During the shoot he made us feel totally comfortable and kept the experience fun and relaxed. He knew all the best spots around the location and helped us get such beautiful shots.

We definitely plan to work with him again in the future!

We worked with Daniel for our first professional photo shoot to celebrate our 25th wedding…read moreanniversary. He was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Booking and payment were super easy online, and communication was excellent the whole way through. We told him we got married 25 years ago on a beach somewhere on the Nevada side of South Lake Tahoe (the exact spot is still a mystery!), and when he suggested Zephyr Cove Resort Beach, we knew he was our guy. I'll admit I was more nervous than my husband, but Daniel immediately made us feel comfortable. He's easy to talk to, fun, and knows exactly how to guide you through natural poses without anything feeling fake. We were laughing (actual laughing tears!) the entire time. We had the best time. We just got our proofs back, and I am beyond thrilled. His work is beautiful!! We started at 5pm and he got all the best of the area! Unreal!! You 'd never even know it was one of the windiest days ever! I can't wait to see the full gallery. If you're in the South Lake Tahoe area and need a photographer who's talented, personable, and genuinely cares about your experience, Daniel is the one.

She is accommodating with regards to timing and location, and is a master at her craft. What is paramount to us, and what truly sets her apart, is her ability to bring out our natural smiles. Some people (especially younger kids) have a tendency to grimace when you ask them to smile, and she's able to elicit genuine and warm expression from all of us. Pro tip: Contact her as early as practical for your photo sessions. She's in high demand and books up quickly.

John, the videographer, was able to bring to life the feel and esthetic of our venue. The video is layered in such a creative way, shot in an interview style to capture the emotions of my husband and myself but also our bridal party. It is fun and playful but still kept it incredibly sincere. I couldn't be more satisfied! Isabelle, the photographer, sent me the most beautiful romantic photos I've ever seen. Really gave us that perfect twilight that we (well... I) had always dreamed of. The two of them make an incredible team and I can't wait to watch how their careers progress! Thank you both -The Grassmanns

I cannot say enough great things about Westfall Visuals! They handled both the photography and…read morevideography for my wedding this month, and the entire experience has been incredible from start to finish. First off, the team that showed up on the day of our wedding was amazing. They arrived early, were professional, and immediately got to work. They made sure we captured every shot I had envisioned, while also bringing their own creative ideas to the table--and those ended up being some of my favorite moments from the day! Even though I've only received my sneak peeks so far, I am already blown away. The quality, the vision, and the attention to detail are all exactly what I was hoping for and more. Knowing that everything is then edited by Isabelle Westfall herself gives me even more confidence that the final product is going to be something we'll treasure forever. If you're looking for a wedding photography and videography team that is professional, creative, and truly invested in your day, I highly recommend Westfall Visuals. I cannot wait to see the full gallery and video!

Weddings are expensive and an investment, so I expect to get a good return on it. At the beginning for our engagement pics all was cool and I feeling confident about using her services. My wedding was kinda still during the height of covid, but everything seemed to be going well until the week of my wedding when I rec'd a text from her that she was not going to be able to shoot at my wedding bc she wasn't feeling well. I obviously was upset bc my contract was with her, but I had to be understanding of the situation too. What I didn't like was I had to trust a colleague of hers (Heather) who I had never met and didn't meet until my wedding day to take the best pictures possible. She did mediocre, and didn't capture very many couples pics nor family pics. (So glad I had relatives and friends who brought cameras. Most took better pics than the paid photographer, but I didn't pay them, I paid Kindred Souls for quality pics). She kinda rushed through our main pics and all the outdoor pics are hideous. Amber stated though she couldn't shoot my wedding, she'd do the editing, but she was sooo hard to get a hold of regarding status of my prints and just communication PERIOD! My wedding was in September and I didn't get my photos till mid December. I'd say I'm patient, but 4 months is ridiculous. When I sent my favorites back to her for editing I advised her they were not the clearest they could be and were too dark and to reedit. Here we are at the end of February and I still haven't heard back from Amber. Truly UNprofessional, poor customer service and a bad look on this business. They don't have to worry about me referring ANYONE to them! A waste of almost $1800, sigh.

Summary: Great experience, family friendly, accommodating, funny, high quality, will use again…read more Shoot photos can be seen here: http://www.daniellehankinson.com/edgelake-family-reunion-photos.html Our extended family has spent a week each summer at Kings Beach since 1986. It took us 26 years to realize our own attempts at family photos didn't capture the experiences the way we wished they did. My wife and I decided to get a professional pictures taken this year. We came across Danielle's website and were attracted to her work with large families as well as being a local to the kings beach area. As soon as we met Danielle, we knew it was going to be a good fit. Her humor was very similar to ours, and she knew how to apply the right amount mixed with direction to keep the process flowing. Our family covered 4 generations, with ages ranging from 84 to 18months. She was able to limit the impact and movement to the older folks while providing a treasure chest of little toys to entice the little ones. The pictures were painless, even with a group 20+ pale, squinty eyed people! After the shoot, approx 4 hrs later, Danielle returned with a projector, screen and ipad to review the photos and let us make our choices. It was so fun to sit around with the family and see the final product. This was a no pressure consultation and there was no upselling. We chose to go with a digital package allowing, us to share with the large family. We had to promise to get them printed (anywhere) eventually so they could be enjoyed and looked at every day. We continuously get complements on our photos. We also get some disbelief thinking that pictures that good can't be real. "There's no way that background is real", "That's not REALLY at Tahoe, is it?" I can't say enough good things about Danielle. She was a perfect fit for our family and I highly recommend her. As our kids grow (3 and 1.5 now) we'll definitely use her in the future.

Both my husband and I are not natural at posing for photos, and Holly did an amazing job at making us feel comfortable and making the photography fun. She played music and we had drinks and it felt way more like just having a good time than posed photography. Holly fit into the wedding perfectly, and knew how to capture all of the right moments. After the wedding, several of our friends told us how much they enjoyed Holly and how her vibe was perfect for our event. We've also seen a handful of the photos already, and they are PERFECT! Thank you Holly!!

When we hired Ashley, we got so much more than just a photographer that takes brilliant shots…read more Ashley was so incredibly helpful and crucial to the success of our event. She went above and beyond by acting as, not only our photographer, but our coordinator and scheduling assistant. I was genuinely so relieved to find out how professional and on top of things Ashley was. She guided my wife and I through every step of the way. One of the coolest things about the process was the day-of schedule Ashley generated; this was so helpful in pulling everything together and getting all the vendors on the same page (something my wife and I were probably incapable of doing ourselves). Hire Ashley if you can! 10/10

Each time we take photos, he gets them back to us promptly and gives us ALL of them- and without a logo stamped on them. Bill will be our photographer for life!

I repeatedly hear that they've never seen wedding photos as spectacular as ours, but that's merely because they haven't seen Annie's other wedding photos!!! :) When I think of wedding photos, I generally think of stale, static photos that are easily interchangeable by switching out the bride and groom, a few flowers, and colorful dresses. Annie's photos don't fall into this category! She is not a "wedding photographer" the way you generally think of wedding photographers. She is a brilliant photojournalist who will generously apply her artistry to your wedding. After first discovering her work, I can't stop looking at her pictures! I'm addicted to her blog to see all she's doing. They say a picture's worth 1000 words. Hers, on the other hand, leave me speechless!!! Check her out at http://anniexphoto.com

From the very beginning, he communicated clearly and consistently throughout the entire process, which made everything run smoothly. He arrived early and took the time to carefully set up the space in the home we rented. He turned the place into the perfect photo space. What stood out most was how he handled an unexpected weather shift and asked if we wanted to reschedule but we had to proceed. He adapted seamlessly instead of letting it be a setback, he embraced it and captured a beautiful portrait for our family. He's incredibly attentive, creative, and artistic. Truly someone who cares about the details and paying attention to all the little things. He made sure every family member felt comfortable and made sure the whole family looked great. He captured amazing images both indoor and in the snow. We also received our photos much faster than expected, and the results exceeded our expectations. Thank you Ciprian. Highly recommended Lake Tahoe Family Photography!
