Technology Association of Oregon used Jason DeSomer to photograph two events in 2016 - Oregon…read moreTechnology Awards in May and Party in the Pinot in July. We were blown away by his shots. His images capture the spirit of our events and eliminate the contrived photos that are typical of awards ceremonies and outdoor events. He is extremely professional, and non-intrusive while interacting with guests. He captures the moment at our events in so many different ways we can't quite figure out how he got from here to there in that amount of time - but its impressive. And he provides our photos quickly so we can send them out to our community in a timely manner. In 2017 we booked early to lock down those two events, and two more our Kickoff Party in January and Kickball Tournament in August. When planning events you are always looking for great vendors who, in addition to providing stellar service, make your life easier the day of the big event. Jason DeSomer does this, and I can't recommend his services enough.

Jason was everything I was looking for in a photographer, and more!…read more I was searching for a photographer online and Jason's work stood out to me because he has an eye for great camera angles and subject placement, and his photos were very crisp and clear with great lighting and editing (something I found lacking in many others' portfolios). When I emailed him, his quotes were clear and reasonable, and he outlined everything in detail. I was modeling some outfits for a photo shoot in my house. Thankfully, Jason had a lot of great ideas for posing and I already knew the photos would turn out amazing! (I've done shoots with other photographers where I was given no direction and most of the photos came out awkward or meh). I was very happy with the shoot and the photos I received. I would definitely work with Jason again, and recommend him to anyone needing quality photos!

Ara is an incredible photographer, but she is also an amazing person…read more My wedding went side. ways. I mean SIDE. WAYS! LOL Ara was so gracious, kind, understanding, and patient. She is exactly who you want taking your wedding photos - or even just around! - when everything is falling apart. I found her by sheer luck and, as she and I discussed, everything happens for a reason. We will definitely use her for another type of photo shoot in the future. She is a joy and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Here's what I don't suggest you do:…read more 1. Take a photographer's business card, saying you need a professional head shot and will call soon. 2. Wait about 2 years. 3. Call in a frantic hurry because a colleague wants you to provide them with a professional head shot tomorrow to be published with an article. With that as my methodology, I had no right to expect good treatment. Nevertheless, when I dug out Ara's card and called her she was absolutely awesome and set up a time for me to meet her at a nearby studio in the early evening. She got a bunch of shots, edited them, and sent me her favorites by email later that night. I'm so happy with them - they look way better than I do in real life, which is what a good photog should do for you, right? I've taken a look at Aralani's wedding portfolio and given how professional and easy she is to work with, I'd recommend her for anybody's big day!

When we looked at our photos, we felt like we relived our special day all over again. We could tell that it was more than just skill and technique for her. She told our story. The story of resilience and a love that was fought for. Our wedding was non-traditional with mostly chosen family in attendance, but the way that she managed to capture the love in the air was magical. We whole heartedly recommend her! You won't be disappointed.

Having Bryan as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding…read more Bryan exceeded all of our expectations from our first phone call with him (we live in a different state) to sending us our album. He is extremely professional, gifted, thoughtful, calm, and just an all around awesome human being. When looking for a photographer, we wanted someone who could capture candid, genuine moments (the kind where you look good and carefree - not the kind where you have 3 chins and someone is scowling in the background), and who wouldn't ask us to close our eyes and touch our foreheads together. We instantly fell in love with Bryan's photos and ability to capture real, genuine, and joyful moments. And not only is Bryan's work breathtaking, he also has such a calm and happy presence - throughout the day we smiled, laughed, and felt completely comfortable and ourselves. During the ceremony and reception, we barely noticed Bryan was there, and yet he captured every. single. moment. Going through our photos was like reliving our wedding day: we could pinpoint when someone made a joke and so-and-so busted a gut laughing, when I teared up for 3 seconds during my best friend's speech, and when my nephew ran into my husband's arms after the ceremony. When we shared our album with family and friends, they all remarked how amazing our photographer was and how impressed they were that he was able to capture every guest and every moment. I strongly and happily recommend Bryan to anyone looking for a photographer - you will be so happy with and grateful for your photos!

My wife and I were fortunate enough to have him shoot our wedding and if you look at his work you will understand why. When considering how much you can get from online reviews, note that I will let his work speak for itself. What I would like to point out is that every review talks about how much they love working with Bryan, and come your big day when everyone is doing this or that and you have your timeline and it's just a big blur amazing day, having people around you like Bryan really helps bring the focus back to what matters, creating memories with loved ones and having a great time. He really helped make the day special for us.

Kyle was able to help us find a location for everything, planned that day and helped us set up a timeline! If you want a professional that is going to be calm, organized and roll with the punches, Kyle is your guy! He made us feel welcomed and even helped reassure us throughout the day! Onto the photos themselves, Kyle has an eye for capturing candid shots, flattering lighting to direct your eye and setting the mood in the photos. We will forever cherish the photos you documented on our big day. We absolutely enjoyed Kyle's presence during our small dinner party as he was able to keep us laughing, having great conversations, and amazing Oregon recommendations! Thank you for everything!

We reached out to Kyle after he did such a great job with our friends' wedding photos a couple…read moreyears ago. When we contacted him, he was very responsive. At our first meeting, he was enthusiastic, organized, and asked all kinds of questions to better understand our vision. The day of the ceremony, he helped us add structure to our pre-ceremony process by nailing down clear portrait timelines for each of us. He has an upbeat and easy-going attitude, which helped both of us feel comfortable while posing for portraits. And further, he clearly has a great eye and improvises well, because he was able to incorporate what might have otherwise looked like a mundane neighborhood setting into beautifully lit, unique photos. Kyle took all kinds of creative, moment-catching candid shots during our ceremony and reception that we couldn't be happier with. When we showed our wedding photos to friends and family afterwards, they consistently expressed surprise and delight at how Kyle was able to capture so many nuanced moments without being intrusive. TL;DR: We love all of our wedding photos and are so grateful to Kyle for sharing his talents with us! If you're looking for someone who is detail-oriented and ready to celebrate with you, we highly recommend Kyle!

They were a dream to work with and I'm so glad we snatched them up before they got too busy during the summer! Sara and Dylan have the kind of photography style every couple dreams of - even if the couple has very little idea of what they want or need. They are mind readers and mind blowers. On the day of the wedding, they were Zen masters, making sure to get those precious moments caught on camera and all the while staying in the background and letting my future hubby and I enjoy the spotlight. I wanted to get some sunset photos done during the reception and Sara was on top of it, reminding us while we danced and celebrated the night away. Through their website, we knew Sara and Dylan were good, but we had no idea how fantastic and emotional their images of our special day were going to turn out. Looking at the pictures now, I'm instantly transported to that moment and I can remember everything - the sounds, lights, the buzz in the air and all the emotions running around. It may be an image frozen in time but each time I look at it, I feel it all, over and over again. Their work is timeless, and every couple should have that. If I had enough money in the world, I would purchase these 2 exclusively and have them follow us around, photographing our life, making it look every bit as dreamy and beautiful as we imagine it in our heads. Book them immediately or you'll regret it while you're stuck swooning over their amazing images. Or I'll finally win the lottery and buy them exclusively for myself!

We wanted a photographer who could capture our story and could produce vintage-like photos that weren't over-posed. She met all our needs and then some. She has a very special quality about her photos that are journalistic, and she captures the essence of you as a couple. If you want photos that are fun, truly memorable, well composed, minimally touched up, beautifully vintage and tell your story - then she is perfect for you. She also offers very reasonably priced packages, which come with a lot of extras. Most photographers charge outrageous prices for very little, but she is fair and reasonable. She is responsive, was on time for all events, and extremely accommodating when things didn't go as planned. On the day of the wedding, she was professional and took care of everything. You barely knew she was there outside of formal photos. She got our photos to us very quickly and we couldn't have been happier with them - we didn't have one issue. She's so incredibly nice and relaxed and just has fun with you. I believe we have found our photographer for life and we highly recommend Justine. You won't be disappointed!
