This is my 3rd review of Reunion Photographers since my 50 year class reunion which was a year and 7 months ago. My request was simple; provide me with the 3 items I had paid for. On my last update I gave Dane the benefit of the doubt as he had finally replied to my emails. What I haven't written is that he only replied by email right after seeing my first review on Yelp. So why was he ignoring my calls and emails before that? His reply was rude and indicated he had no reason to help me after the review I had posted. I wrote back to say I could change my review if he honored his business obligation to me when he cashed my check. And now the ball was in his court. I've been waiting a long time. I finally enlisted the help of our committee chairman. Ultimately I received, from her not Dane the reunion memory book. At first he replied to her but then he ignored her also. He never sent my individual photos to choose one for the portrait picture so I never received the portrait. Also never received the CD or thumb drive of all other photographs taken during the evening. I have no idea to this day why he chose to do this. It takes a lot to get me upset enough to write something negative about someone. It was a wonderful evening with old classmates. Unfortunately now when I think of it I feel hurt and angry. He is unreliable and inconsiderate. I would never treat my customers the way he has treated me. I wouldn't refer anyone to his business if he was the last photography company on earth! read more

Where do I begin? My experience with Reunion Photographers has been extremely disappointing. I found them to be unprofessional, unresponsive, and, frankly, unethical. Based on my experience, I cannot in good conscience recommend this company to anyone. Our 50th high school reunion took place on October 12, 2024. I paid $55.00 by check for a package that was supposed to include a class group photo, candid photos on CD, and a color reunion memory book. Despite full payment, I never received any of the items. Thanks only to the generosity of one of our committee members, I was able to obtain a copy of the Memory Book. Otherwise, I would have received nothing at all. Below is a record of the dates, times, and methods I used in my repeated attempts to contact Dane: * Emailed: Sunday, 12/29/24, 4:02 PM EST * Emailed: Tuesday, 1/7/25, 2:01 PM EST * Called: Tuesday, 1/7/25, 2:27 PM EST * Returned Call from Dane (Voicemail): Thursday, 1/9/25, 11:20 AM EST * Called: Thursday, 1/9/25, 4:19 PM EST * Emailed: Saturday, 1/11/25, 1:22 PM EST * Called: Saturday, 1/11/25, 1:24 PM EST * Faxed: Friday, 1/17/25, 10:03 AM EST * Called: Friday, 3/28/25, 3:45 PM EST (his cell phone) * Called: Friday, 3/28/25, 3:48 PM EST (business phone, "this number is not set up to receive calls") * Website: Friday, 3/28/25, 3:50 PM EST. I attempted to go to his website www.reunionphotographers.net but it now redirects to www.bluefellfarm.org. It appears that Dane has deliberately cut off all means of contact. * Filled a complaint with the BBB: Friday, 4/4/25, 3:58 PM EST I would like to take a moment to commend the photographer for his professionalism and courtesy throughout the event. From what I understand, he is a local photographer subcontracted by Reunion Photographers, and his conduct was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing experience. read more

Something is amiss here because look at all these one-star reviews! But these recent reviews probably didn't go through the nightmare our class reunion came upon. Our 50th reunion was held on September 21, 2024 in a Costa Mesa gallery. We started planning in February, and contacted Dane at the same time. The Class of '73 used this company with no problems. All appeared to go well with the friendly photographer and crew at our reunion event but within a week I was contacted that the photographer lost the photo disk within 24 hours of leaving our venue! They had searched and back-tracked but no disk was to be found. So imagine having 85 people that you spent 90% of your committee's time searching for and having no photographs! Thank goodness there's smart phones because we managed to pull together photos from everyone who took candid shots. The photo we're sorely missing is the group shot! And other special group photos we were all looking forward to! I've been in graphic design for decades so I created an extraordinary memory book and made it free. Dane wouldn't even work with me to print out the book after losing the photos. He still wanted to charge $25 or whatever it was he was charging. But his template layouts are funky and out of date. Maybe, it was a good thing, I ended up doing the memory book! Take heed, I do not recommend. read more

Reunion Photographers - Here are 4 of 32 pages from our Memory Book. This company did not do the layouts, I did! - Event Photography Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Our reunion was September 2024. Myself and many others paid in June 2024. No one has received their Pictures as of 1/12/25. I have emailed, called and got no response. Other's have said they did the same. I would not recommend them to anyone. It is too bad because I do think they took many pictures that would have been good. I paid for the Memory book, 11x14 class picture, and the thumb drive. Received nothing read more

My Compton High class of 1973 has used Reunion Photographers since our 20-year reunion (when it was known as Worthington Reunion Photographers). My experience with working with Dane has been great. When there were errors (and there will be, especially with names on the portraits), I was very meticulous in pointing them out, in writing. Our 50-year reunion was held in August 2023 (in Las Vegas), with close to 300 in attendance. Not everyone took a picture, but it was still quite a few portraits, and quite a few errors. (Most errors more likely than not were from how the people completed the photocards.) I meticulously documented the errors, and the corrections were made. Dane was also patient with me providing the completed draft of the book. *** The Compton High Class of 1973 has been pleased with the work of Reunion Photographers! read more

Our committee contacted this company to photograph our class reunion which was held October 2022. The photographers that were present did a great job, however, we paid for what we wanted at the time of the reunion and others put in an order at a later date. It took nine (9) months to get the pictures we ordered after numerous phone calls. I at one point told him it seems like he was overwhelmed, and he told me no!!!! I even tried filing a complaint with the BBB however, he was not part of that membership. I would not hire this company, which I think is a one man show, to do any work for a party or reunion with the experience we witnessed. read more

This is the worst photographer company that I have ever experienced. They took a picture walking into the reunion and had everyone write down their contact information. When I received an order form in the mail it had a picture of someone else. NOT ME. They had the nerve to send an order form in case you wanted to order and did not include ONE picture for you to choose from. I don't know how this company is in business. Terrible, terrible service. Don't waste any money with this company. read more

HORRIBLE!!!! Do not use!!!!! They don't return phone calls or emails. The photographer did not even center the classmate portraits in the middle of our banner. I created all our pages for the book and they could not even get the portraits correct, leaving out my portrait as committee chair. The pages I emailed had bright and clear photos. The photos printed in the book were dark. Regarding our memory books, They just keep telling classmates book is in the mail. They have mailed books to the wrong address and they want me to spend extra money and mail the book out. It was their responsibility. They even put the wrong name on the mailing label that was delivered to my home which I had to forward to the classmate on the label. As committee chair I have not received a book. Just had two more books returned to me with the wrong address. The original contract stated undeliverable books "when purchased by the committee" will be returned to the committee. Our committee DID NOT purchase the books for the classmates. They were purchased individually by the classmates. I was not even given a mailing list to proof the names and addresses. The owner Dane has been nothing but very rude to the classmates when they called. I have been informed by Melinda Rosenour, Dorie Perido and Shari Morrison that he was rude. Now the owner Dane Christian is stating he doesn't care if we receive our PAID books or not! Sounds like small claims will love this case. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! NOT WORTH THE HEADACHES read more

I am shocked at the negative reviews on here. We used Reunion Photographers on August 11, 2018 for our 50th Class Reunion. I booked them only two weeks before our reunion. Dane and his staff could not have been more helpful to us. The local photographer sent to us was so kind and helpful and all the pictures came out beautiful. And our Memory Book was the ultimate highlight of our event. It came out beautiful. I could not have asked for better service or a better final product. I would not hesitate to refer them and would use them in the future. Thank you Dane and your incredible staff for memorializing our special event. Kay A. read more

DO NOT USE this company. They will take your money and not send you the memory book. Then refuse to refund your money. Shameful.

Reunion Photographers is the greatest thing since sliced bread! The owner, Dane, is so understanding and a fabulously creative artist. I am on the Reunion Committee for my 50th high school class reunion. We have a very limited budget and Reunion Photographers' business model was perfect for us! Dane hires the local photographer (mine is in NJ) for free, who takes pictures of each person or couple individually just before they walk into the event. Then he/she also takes candids during the reunion. A week or so later, just like a wedding, they send each attendees proofs of the photos so you can pick the ones you want! You only pay for the ones you want! They also make a CD you can buy with all the pictures from the reunion. Additionally, we are having them make our name badges. They make a copy of all the classmates in our yearbook. They put the person's picture, name, school and its logo! How cool is that! Finally, we had them make copies of other photos in the yearbook -- sports, clubs, theatrical productions -- to hang up at each table. The price for the name badges and activities photos was perfect for our budget. I LOVE Reunion Photographers! read more

While they were eagerly happy to please before our reunion, that quickly changed the day of the event. The photographer was extremely rude, impatient and eager to leave. Being in the committee, I received over a dozen complaints during and after the reunion. The additional photographer simply followed around anyone who had a camera and took the same pictures the classmates were taking of themselves. The group pictures that I requested to be taken were not included in the proofs to look at. And I was told they were never taken, but then they miraculously showed up in my mailbox two weeks later, after I had mailed back the paperwork. The whole process was very slow. I contacted the company both by email and phone call to approve the proofs the day I received them. A month later I received a phone call asking me if I'd had a chance to look over the proofs. Upon receiving the book I found it very disappointing!!! The pictures are extremely grainy.... Too dark.... Red faces.... Blurry and overall terrible quality. Nothing like the proofs I sent back to them to simply copy. Frankly we have better pictures on Facebook, thanks to us! I would not recommend this company to anyone. read more

Really a nice company to work with. We asked them to provide a photographer for our 20th reunion for Crenshaw. They sent out two photographers because we had a large class, almost 200 people. The process was simple; the owner, Dane, very easy to work with. The photographer was great and on time, the pics were spot on-really a smooth and easy process. We especially liked the group photo. Enough said. read more

Love them! We contacted them for our 50th reunion. The staff always returned our phone call and were very informative about what they did. The night of the reunion the photographers showed up on time, took great photos (especially the Class Group shot-that was the best!). The photographer even stuck around later than we thought we would to take pics of the dancing. The photos came out great-we loved the memory book-all around great job and I would highly recommend them and plan to use them again in 5 years. read more

I need to update my previous review. My credit card was charged in January. The photo book arrived today, nearly three months after it was ordered despite the fact that they said, "It was in the mail." read more

This company is terrible. Many classmates ordered the memory book in Oct 2017. It is March 13, 2018 and after two emails and 3 phone calls, I still don't have the book. Other classmates received the book at different times. All well beyond the end of the reunion and order date. There was about a month delay caused by the reunion committee, but after that, the books were received at different times by classmates and I still don't have one. The order form is a puzzle to understand and their ability to keep track of orders seems to be non-existant. read more

Very pleased with the whole process from reunion to memory book. The photos, class picture and memory book turned out so nice, and any changes that were needed were done in a timely and professional manner. I highly recommend them for any reunion! read more

They did not sent me the photograph I ordered. After the person that was taking care of my order, Nara Vanic, did not respond to my email, I called them and later Nara called back upset that I had called in the first place. Well, he never sent me my photograph :( read more

We found Reunion Photographers to be excellent. They provided us with support in getting our reunion going---we really didn't know what we were doing, and it was their booklet that got us going. All of our questions were answered any time we wrote or called, and answered promptly and to our satisfaction. They had good suggestions for how to make registration go smoothly the night of the reunion. The name badges were perfect, and we were happy with the Memory Book---we made a lot of changes and every one came through exactly as we asked. The photographer was very courteous and professional----we barely knew she was there, but she got a LOT of great shots. We had one person who didn't get her Memory Bk, but it was because she'd moved and not updated her address for us. Even though we were supposed to deal with that mistake, Dane kindly mailed another copy to her. We would highly recommend Reunion Photographers. read more
