I'm very happy we sought Owen for our engagement photos. He was made the process easy and I…read moredefinitely recommend him to anyone in need of a professional photographer. 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.

We were looking for a photographer for specifically group pictures but I'm really happy Owen went beyond my original request to take more pictures of our happy day! I loved the direction he provided and I was super pleased with how quickly and easily he worked with our DJ and Emcee to seamlessly capture the important moments! Our pictures were delivered quickly, with an additional skin retouching service for that extra glow. I would definitely add him to my event team again if I had something in the area. Thanks Owen!!

KLV photography was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. I had found KLV through a…read morefriend who also had their wedding photos captured by them and she absolutely loved it. From the very beginning, Meg was our point of contact. She was very professional and incredibly quick to respond to any questions we had. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Every question we had was answered quickly and clearly, which made planning so much less stressful. Our lead photographer was Kevin. We met at our engagement shoot where he made us feel completely comfortable (we can be quite awkward!). The engagement photos came out beautiful and people loved our save-the-date photos! The wedding day was super hectic but Kevin was super PRO with handling the chaos. Dan was also great as our second photographer -he is always smiley! They were calm, reassuring, and knew exactly what they were doing. The photos are absolutely stunning, beautiful, light and airy. The lighting, composition, and attention to detail truly exceeded our expectations. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the entire day all over again, from the big moments to the small candid ones we didn't even realize were happening. We cannot recommend them enough!

Jenna!!! You are the absolute best at what you do!…read more We were in search of a photographer for our wedding and came across KLV from a few friend that used them for their wedding!

She is professional, funny, and makes you feel so comfortable working with her.

You definitely will not regret booking her for your photos! Also, we received so many compliments on how the photos turned out!! We're so happy to have them for our forever memories!!

The photographer and makeup artist were incredibly professional. They listened to every detail I wanted and brought my vision to life perfectly. From the makeup and hair to the overall styling, everything was done with such care and precision.

I chose Unique because they were one of the few in the area to offer an all-inclusive package. My…read morepackage included dress and jewelry rental, hair and makeup for the couple, the photoshoot, all raw digital images, 20 edited photos, and a printed canvas. The hair and makeup artist was able to follow my vague instructions and helped customized my overall look, including jewelry choices. She also stayed throughout the shoot for touch-ups, and even helped with posing. Sam's knows what angles to shoot and which lighting works. He guided us through the poses and was able to wrap up our shoot earlier than estimated even though I usually find myself very awkward in front of the camera. I also appreciated that they provide all of the digital files, including the 500+ raw ones. When I wasn't a fan of the initial editing style, Sam was very receptive to my feedback and revised the photos quickly. The reason for 4 stars is the communication. During the consultation, I was hoping for more guidance on ideas since I didn't have a clear vision. I was just shown his portfolio on his tablet and quietly scrolled in front of him. After the shoot, I had to follow up for updates on my raw and edited photos. Only after I reached out first did he respond immediately.

Every single time she has given us something far beyond photographs. She has given us memories we will treasure forever. Nicole is the most genuine, loving, beautiful soul.

Sandra helped us narrow down our idea for our engagement session. We got engaged in 2020 which limited a lot of the fun couples normally get to experience. We shot with Sandra in June of 2021 and it made our experience finally feel real! She made our love come to light and brought tears to my eyes. She selected two locations for us after we told her what we had in mind and it was spectacular. She has the most creative eye and is a true artist. She is easy to communicate with and is very clear in her pricing. She is incredible. I have made sure everyone that will listen knows Sandra Flores is who they need to capture their beautiful life moments. I look forward to many more sessions with Sandra!

Molly is truly an amazing photographer! We did an 1 hour family shoot with our son (dog), and the…read moreshoot went beyond our expectations. It was our first time posing together with our dog but Molly made it feel natural and perfectly transitioned us from one pose to next. Pup was more distracted than usual so we were genuinely surprised how many beautiful shots Molly captured of us. Perfect lighting, mood and all. We did the 1 hr shoot, though it did go bit past, with an outfit change in between. We received way more than the 30+ minimum photos as promised, and they were all beautifully edited. We'd recommend Molly for any occasion shoot!

Starting with the communication, Molly ensured we knew exactly where to park at our beach destination and was quick to respond throughout the entire process as we communicated our ideas for shots we wanted to execute. In terms of our hour long sunset shoot, it was our first photoshoot with our pup so it felt hectic to start, but Molly remained patient with us and helped ensure our visions for the photoshoot were met. The beach was more packed than we had expected, but Molly knew exactly the right spots on the beach to make our shoot productive and worthwhile. Finally, the delivery of our photos was everything we could have asked for and more. We were expecting a 3-4 week turnaround time, but Molly went out of her way to edit and publish our photos within 2 days so that we could receive our gallery before our pup's birthday. Overall, I can't recommend Molly enough! If you are in the Orange County area looking for a photographer for family / milestone photoshoots, Goldensun will not disappoint!
