I love Brea Photography!…read more Brea herself is fantastic to work with, and her team of photographers are reliable, friendly, and I never have to worry about they way the photos are going to turn out. As someone who plans a lot of events, not having to give photography a second thought is completely priceless. If you can snag Brea, use her before you use her peeps, but anyone from the group should work out just fine. Typically getting a hold of her 2-3 weeks before your event is enough time, but book ahead if you want to use her pop-up photo booth services, which I believe are new. Really solid photographers with great attitudes. Let 'em capture all the cool things you've got going on!

I relied upon glowing yelp reviews, when selecting my daughter's wedding photographer got…read morecomplicated. Unfortunately, my life did not get any less complicated. After meeting with a photographer, selecting a package, signing a contract, and setting a date for engagement photos, four months later my daughter discovered, the night before the engagement photos, that the photographer no longer worked for Brea, and somehow had not checked her messages in days. Praise to Brea herself, who stepped in at this critical moment to respond to e-mail notes and phone messages, and make the trip to our humble suburb to take care of the engagement photo session. I rationalized this stumble and recovery, imagining that many small business owners experience similar pains when entrusting work to others and/or taking a break. We experienced poor communication and flawed office procedures, followed by a good save by the boss. Subsequently, my daughter was assigned another photographer and assistant to complete the contract; the team arrived on time, and completed the job. Five weeks later, the results were available for viewing and download. Seven-hundred-plus wedding photos and perhaps 150 engagement photos. A photo booth for guests. In the end, there were approx. 1/3 the number of photos from my son's wedding by another firm last year, but perhaps more time given to editing out the duds, so it might be argued that the quality of these is higher. When I look at the photos, certainly I can see artistic shot framing and good photography skills. I also see a more pronounced worry line in the forehead of the bride's father.

I HATE having my photo taken, but she actually made the process fun and worked with me to produce really flattering headshots. I've gotten multiple compliments from friends and colleagues on my new headshots, and I would recommend her to any professional without hesitation. For our family photos, I was blown away by how patient she was with my 3 year old son, who was not in the mood to have photos taken the day of our shoot. She cheered him up in impressively short order, and ultimately she took gorgeous photos that captured our family's personality perfectly. And when I thought it couldn't get any better, she turned around the proofs and edits for both sessions very quickly! She was professional and communicative throughout, and I can't overstate just how much I've enjoyed working with her.

She was extremely professional, accommodating, and listened to everything we needed/wanted while even suggesting ideas we didn't think of! She was easy-going and by far a pleasure to work with. She provided amazing equipment that was simple to setup, and the end products were amazing. Her personality even helped drive people to our booth! Jenn is extremely passionate about her work and it definitely shows in her work ethic. We loved working with Jenn and would gladly work with her again!

Most had prices that rivaled a house down payment. Being a member of Yelp Elite, I was immediately impressed by Emily's Five Star Yelp reviews. Every single one was (is) rated five stars. That speaks volumes because we Yelpers don't hand out five stars like Tic-Tacs. I reached out to Emily and we had an initial call to discuss my event, vision, location and most importantly, my expectations. Emily asked me questions I hadn't considered as a consumer. She brought ideas and explained her process. I immediately felt comfortable and knew she'd deliver with Excellence, Enthusiasm Effortlessly, all while surpassing our Expectations. When we received our photos, my husband said "those are the best photos I've ever seen". Thank you Emily!

She helped so much in that area and was able to direct us day of and made a timeline that worked perfectly for us. The photos we received back are AMAZING, she could not have done a better job. Even though our wedding was during a busier season we still got the photos back pretty quickly I would say. She really helped make our wedding day perfect and I am so grateful for that.

Anna is an amazing photographer and an exceptional person. When my son started his junior year of…read morehigh school, I started looking for senior portrait photographers in my area. I spent an entire year reading reviews, looking at pictures and researching sites. I always came back to Anna. I loved her editorial style. When I called to make an appointment with Anna, she was enthusiastic and friendly. I knew I had made the right decision just by talking to her. The day of the photography session was such a fun day. We photographed for five hours and she captured some of the most beautiful pictures of my son. She indulged his love of photography by answering numerous questions and giving tips and tricks. She also used his camera in some of the pictures and those are my favorite. Anna is genuine and creative, ever the professional. She has a smile that outshines the sun, with a soul to match. I will always recommend Anna.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DON FROM LUX MEDIA FOR YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY / VIDEOGRAPHY!!!…read more I hired don for my maternity shoot, and am more than happy with the results. Not only was he on time for the shoot but he was very patient, and knows how to capture the PERFECT angle / shot! He is so worth it! He's very responsive with texts/calls and very kind! He pays very close attention to details, and literally makes the photos look SO magical yet NATURAL. Don is truly skillful and talented at what he does.

Don is amazing at what he does and he truly works with you in achieving what you want for your photos. He did our engagement photos recently and it went really smooth. He made it fun and we felt comfortable taking pictures with him because he made everything go with the flow and it felt very natural! We took pictures at Balboa park and he took us around to different spots so that he could maximize the area and beauty of Balboa Park. It was nice that he wanted us to have a big selection of photos with different background and styles. When we were taking pictures Don made us feel very relaxed. I loved that he made us feel at home and it was enjoyable! He taught us different poses and made it simple as possible. It was such a fun day! Don even makes bouquets for you as a prop during photo taking!! And they ARE BEAUTIFUL!! He seriously could be a florist too! LOL The week before our engagement photos he even called me to talk about attire and it was really nice of him to talk about what would be best to wear and he really wanted us to look perfect on that day and suggested many different outfits and even asked if he could see what we got planned to see if it would go well with the theme etc. it was really considerate of him to take the time to reach out to us and care about our wardrobe and how the pictures will look with certain attire. Don sent us a lot of engagement photos and they all turned out beautifully!! I was very impressed and I am excited to work with him on videography and photography for our wedding day. Don is a very dedicated photographer and videographer. I can already see that it is his passion. He is very busy and books up fast so be considerate of his responses! He truly does try to get back to me asap and I haven't had any problems with communication the last couple months working with him. He is always awesome on calling me and touching base with me and reviewing whatever needs to be reviewed. Thank you Don!

We had a micro wedding with our parents. The only thing we splurged on was our clothes and our photos. And our photos were worth every penny. She captured every emotion and directed all of us seamlessly. She was open and flexible with a few last minute ideas of mine which ended up creating some unique photos (like one with my husband and I next to a giant stuffed grizzly bear because, why not?) and some stunning ones (like the one of me (a pianist) sitting at a piano, with the back of my dress draped. The piano literally showed up in the hotel lobby the morning of my wedding. It felt like magic). Zoe was punctual, professional, organized, and friendly.she delivered the photos before I was expecting them which was wonderful. I'd recommend to anyone who listens. And I'll be continuing to use her as our family expands.

Zoe Life Photography has been my destination wedding, birth, maternity, and newborn photographer…read more During my wedding, she was fun, enthusiastic, caring, and professional. She did superb work. She had pictures of such lovely extra details from our wedding that we chose her and trusted her to be our birth photographer. Once again, l was so amazed at the pictures. For the loved ones who could not be present for the birth, these pictures were like being there. We didn't need videography because we had so many pictures. The pictures were high quality, beautiful, and emotionally moving. I absolutely love them. She was so personable, she definitely helped the birthing process. Years later for my second child, Josh from Zoe Life Photography did my maternity photo shoot. Because he captured excellent lighting and angles and was fun to work with, I cherish those lovely photos and the memory of the photo shoot. Once the baby was born, Zoe Life did our newborn photography. It is so special having these clear, beautiful newborn photos for posterity. I love looking at the photos; they bring smiles to my face as the baby has grown so much in a few months. We want to support small businesses, female-owned businesses, and minority-owned businesses; when we support Zoe Life Photography, we're supporting all of these. Zoe Life Photography is so gifted that I highly recommend them!
