My husband and I booked Heather for what was supposed to be an August 2020 wedding. Well, yadda…read moreyadda yadda, things didn't quite go to plan. Heather was so beyond flexible and accommodating with us as our date changed and changed again, and hung on with us until 2022 when we finally were able to have our special day on April 9th. Just to reiterate, we booked her in SUMMER OF 2019. That is true dedication. I know many other "COVID brides" who struggled with coordinating date changes with vendors, so I am so thankful that Heather always made it work for us and kept a positive attitude about everything. As far as her actual work, Heather made us feel so comfortable both during our engagement shoot and the wedding (we are shy, nerdy people who are not comfortable in front of a camera). She is friendly, very easy to talk to, and guided us perfectly as we awkwardly walked while holding hands, stared into each others' eyes and attempted to hug like human beings. She kept family photos moving along, got all the shots we needed, and had a great vision for the whole day. The photos so exceeded my expectations, and I was over the moon when I saw the final album. Thank you Heather for sticking with us and documenting the most fun and special day.

I am in LOVE with my photos and our experience was amazing…read more This was our first professional photography experience as a family with a 2 year old. Not only were we rushing due to the weather, my son and husband started getting really cranky near the end! Heather was able to pull us all together and get amazing photos. Heather had great recommendations for location, she was extremely patient, gave great direction without being bossy and really got our style! I know there are so many options for photographers but I would look no further, Heather is the best, you will not be disappointed!

Daria is amazing, and working with her is very fun! She's also incredibly creative in her work!…read more My spouse and I both loved our pictures, and cannot wait to collaborate with rare-perspective in our future events! Thank you Daria for your exceptional work!

Initially, meeting Daria, her pics and video and even she came off supper profesional…read more The pics on Yelp, website and magazine, they definitely wow you. Does she provide a great price and does she offer flexibility, yes ,she does. You have to wonder though, what are you, the bride and groom actually giving up for this bargain that is being offered. Honestly, you don't know until AFTER your wedding. You look at the contract and the agreed upon time line comes and goes and yet you are still waiting for the long awaited video and wedding pics, but have not heard from Daria. You finally do, and her response is, "I am busy with other weddings". Perhaps like me, you will think, " Well, I paid based on the timeline that Daria provided. Why can't she do provide the pics and video on the agreed upon timeline?" Then you receive the pics. Months after the agreed upon time line. - Beautiful? Yes. - Badly edited? Yes YOU have to crop out the TV in the background or crop out someone's foot. But, hey, wasn't that Daria's job? That's what you give up for her bargain price. Editing and how long you wait to actually get what you paid for. Also, if you want specific pics like parents, family, etc. make sure to tell her, as I had like 3 pics with mom. Honestly, I was not going to leave a review until just today, almost 1 1/2 years after my wedding. I referred Daria to someone. Due to COVID, her wedding was delayed. Apparently, Daria has now moved out of CA and is REFUSING to refund the deposit. Such bad business ethics! Daria lost NO work to having booked this wedding (other than COVID which EVERYONE has). Now she moves somewhere where she CANNOT do the work that she CONTRACTED for and has DECLINED to refund any money. It is one thing had the bride and groom not rescheduled the wedding & kept Daria as the photographer. It is another thing for Daria to move out of state, REFUSE to refund the money and NOT comply with her portion of the contract. BEWARE OF THIS BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE ORIENTED PHOTOGRAPHER !!!!

Vivian looks photos for my daughter's first birthday as well as maturity photos all within one…read moreshoot! She was so abundantly kind and gave very helpful tips when it came to posing. She was very easy to work with during the shoot and before/after. Not to mention the sneak peaks she has sent us were everything we could have wanted and more. We will definitely be booking with her again. 10/10 recommend. :)

She made me feel like a princess, caught the spirit and essence of us and our families, she made everything SO graceful and calm. I cannot stop looking at the gorgeous pictures we got. Our day was so special to us and she made it absolutely memorable. If you are looking for a wedding photographer choose Vivian, we are so lucky we found her!

My husband and I were surprised with how good the photos turned out. Owen guided us on poses, so do not worry if you don't have any experience in front of a camera like us. I appreciate his attention to detail (notifying us of stray hairs, etc.) and he was respectful for my family who wanted a group photo. Not to mention, he's really humorous with his pop culture references; that definitely broke the ice and allowed us to be more at ease. I also want to highlight that he works incredibly fast and presented the finished products just a few days after our shoot! Thank you, Owen, for capturing these special moments for me and my husband.

I first found Yin through Instagram while searching for a wedding photographer, and his portfolio immediately stood out; his work is so aesthetically pleasing, warm, and artistic. After a quick and easy video meet-and-greet, we felt completely comfortable and knew we were in great hands. Yin is not only talented but also incredibly genuine and easy to talk to. His tailored approach allowed us to be ourselves and express our relationship through his lens, and his response time is unparalleled. Our engagement shoot (included in our wedding package) felt so relaxed and intimate, putting us at ease. We honestly cannot wait for Yin to capture our big day!

Our photos are absolutely stunning and deeply meaningful to our family. Melanie captured both the natural beauty of the garden and the joy of our time together.

I researched different places in the area to help convert my 29 mini-DV tapes to digital format. I cannot say enough good things about Tony. He was so easy to reach, the office is pleasant, he took excellent care of the tapes, and on short notice got us back the files we needed before the funeral and DVDs before my aunt went back out of town. He posted on Vimeo for us too, and the prices were so reasonable. Better than any of the other services I'd researched- less than half the price, for faster and better service. He was also super easy to text with to coordinate pick up, and amenable to changes like when I wanted 4 more DVDs last minute. Thank you Tony!
