Joseph said he and his wife were available for our wedding date. Fast forward to 3 months later, he claims he's now unavailable and refunded our deposit without the courtesy of a conversation. Beware, he is super unreliable and you run the risk of him canceling to obtain a better financial opportunity.

Before hiring Joe for our wedding on October 23rd, 2016, I had worked with him at a wedding the…read moreprevious year. I was lucky in being able to see him work from a wedding coordinator's point of view before I saw him from a bride's point of view. The minute I saw his photos in 2015 (just on his camera's display screen) I knew that I wanted Joe and Monique to photograph my future wedding (and I wasn't even engaged yet!). Flash forward to February 2016, I was finally engaged and my first choice was Joe. The absolute selling point was how amazingly well Joe and Monique got along with my now husband and I. Hiring Joseph Hummel Photography was, by far, one of the EASIEST decisions while planning our wedding. We chose quality over quantity and it worked out in our favor. He is worth every penny, and made both of us feel extremely comfortable and like we were his only clients. Not once did he use the words "I'm too busy at the moment" which I have heard several other photographers say. Joe and Monique went ABOVE and BEYOND all of our expectations of wedding photographers and that didn't change at any point leading up to and during the wedding. We got married at Winter's Creek at Mt. Rose, and Joe took the natural beauty of the lodge and the view into consideration with every photo that he took. I would hire him again and again and I will suggest him to my future clients.

I used Peter for my wedding this August. I did an initial call in January and he patiently answered…read moremy plethora of questions. I had called three other top rated Tahoe photographers and liked him knowledge, experience, portfolio and personality best out of all the photogs. We settled on a custom-made contract that was very reasonable for my extensive request. Wedding day Peter and his assistant showed up on time as contracted. They split up and Peter stayed with the ladies, his assistant with the men. Then for the wedding they tagged teamed. We just got our proofs back (over 1000 edited and all within 30 days of the wedding!) and they are PHENOMENAL! I mean what a magical team those two guys are. We have hundreds of fantastic photos and everyone is so pleased! Hire Peter and you're guaranteed an unbelievable set of photos.

Cheers to Greg for Capturing Our Day!…read more We got married at Donner Lake, a beautiful private waterfront dock owned by a family friend, and choosing Greg as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made. The setting was breathtaking, and we needed someone who could not only capture the natural beauty of the location but also all the meaningful moments of the day. From the start, Greg was a pleasure to work with. We had specific ideas in mind for our photos, including certain poses and candid shots, and he understood our vision. We felt confident putting our trust in him, and he truly exceeded our expectations. On the wedding day, Greg fit seamlessly into the atmosphere. He was professional yet relaxed, which made everyone feel comfortable--especially during personal moments like our sand ceremony. He captured all the key moments while blending into the background, catching those little details and candid moments that we didn't even notice. When we received the photos, we were absolutely thrilled. Greg not only perfected the posed shots but also captured the candid moments that reflected the energy and joy of the day. Looking through them takes us right back to those special memories, and we couldn't be happier with the result. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, easygoing, and genuinely invested in capturing your day just as you envision it, Greg is your guy. We highly recommend him!

He delivered on all of his promises and wasn't the most expensive option (not the least expensive, though...). He was able to meet the special photography rules that the church had asked us to follow and he coached us throughout the reception on when and where to get great shots. He doesn't list his physical address, but he is licensed in Nevada: Business License - NV20151215225 A very pleasant and professional man to work with. I will hire him again if needed.

I didn't know how long it would take to get all the photos I wanted, so I hired him for up to 4 hours. We were done in 1 1/2. He was so reasonable! He had all the pics to us by that same night and we were able to review them as a family before the kids went back to their own worlds. We were so grateful and had so much fun with him! We have called him to do the wedding for one of the 4 in January 2017. I'll be back to write another review. It's nice when someone does a great job to take the time and review them... especially when there aren't very many reviews out.

So we hired them as videographers for our own wedding and couldn't have been more pleased! Kris and Ruta were super responsive and easy to work with in the planning phase, which we learned is super important for wedding planning. On the day of, their warm and genuine personalities were such a pleasure to be around, and they worked super well with our photographer. We are so happy with the results- they do an amazing job of creating wedding videos that don't feel stiff and lacking in personality, they instead capture the essence of the day with video clips, audio from speeches, and awesome drone shots. Cannot recommend them more, thank you!

I had originally hired Ruta and Kris for my wedding in 2020 and it was cancelled due to Covid. I rescheduled for 2021, and my wedding was cancelled due to the Caldor Fire. We took the chance to reschedule for 2023, and it was a hit! Bonus - we had Ruta for our photographer and Kris for our videographer. Ruta and Kris were very understanding and worked with us having to reschedule our wedding twice. Ruta was so great with communicating, and they really wanted to get to know my husband and I so that they can capture the moments that were most important to us. I highly recommend Amber Shores for your next event or photoshoot. They are top notch, professional, and an amazing couple.
