Magali Photography is amazing! There are no words to describe what a fun and comfortable experience…read moremy partner and I had. She knew we both can be a bit camera shy but she was patient and brilliant. She took us to different areas in the beach to take various shots that looked great! We had an hour session and covered so many areas and took so many pictures. After a few weeks Magali gave us access to our photos online as well as recommendations in where to print them for best quality. She also sent us a beautiful printed copy of three shots!!! I highly recommend Magali! Sad she isn't in California anymore but I'm sure wherever she goes her photography will make a great experience for anyone!!!! L&R

Amazing attention and continued support!…read more My family recently visited Santa Cruz on vacation and we booked Maggie to shoot my daughter's senior photos. Maggie responded promptly, was VERY resonsable priced, and my daughter loved the fact she had fur babies at home. We made arrangements to meet, splitting our time between the redwoods and the coast. Maggie knew it was important to my daughter to have both featured in her photos. Both locations were amazing, but the coast spot was beyond! And even though our time went WAY beyond our orignial contract, Maggie and her husband took their time and really made the experience so amazing for my daughter. She was so happy and relaxed, and that really showed in the photos. When we saw the photos, we were all blown away, Maggie caught the personality of my daughter and showed just how beautiful she is. She fixed a minor color problem on one photo, resized another for the yearbook, and always with a smile. Thank you Maggie for making our daughter so happy and caputuring how beautiful she is. I recommend her 100% Karen Davis 9-16-19

For Christmas, my MIL said that she'd like new pictures of us and the dogs....since the most recent…read morephotos she has of us are from our wedding in 2011. The one and only picture of us on their fridge is from 2007. So, my husband and I decided that we might as well get pictures taken, so we can give a few to my parents, too. I mean, after awhile, it's like what do you give your parents for Christmas? Ours have everything they need. We decided we should get some for ourselves while we're at it. I contacted McKay Photography, mainly because we have known them for a long time and respect their work. We were able to schedule a time to meet one evening and it was nice enough to take pictures outside. This was a casual session, since we do know them and also because these were not formal pictures being done. And, we had two unruly dogs with us! We couldn't have been more pleased with the results and the price. I asked to have some pictures printed, which they did for us, as well as giving us a CD with all of the pictures on them. I am familiar with McKay Photography's work and prices. They are very reasonable, accommodating, and professional. They mostly do weddings, engagement photos, senior pictures, etc. But they were willing to take the time to do a short session for us, just so we have some new pics for the 'rents. Highly recommend! Side Note: I was unable to upload any pictures to yelp, because it said the file was too big. I will see what I can do.

Wow! If you want fairy tale professional-level wedding photos, look no further. Leeann is…read moreincredibly talented and obviously knows her craft. Certainly not cheap, but this is a case where you get what you pay for, but in a good way. Anyone can snap some nice shots with an expensive Nikon, but it takes a special level of talent and vision to produce the quality Leeann provides. She is able to carefully craft each scene and adjust the focus and lighting in ways no amateur could ever manage. She was also good about arranging people and working efficiently without taking up too much time. My sister said it best when my wife and I showed her the album: "These are like everyone's absolute dream wedding photos!"

He was with us every step of the process from engagement photos to preparation and through the send off. I look back fondly at my wedding pictures not just for the great photos, but because he managed the capture the feelings from the day. His skills are obvious and his guidance through the whole process sealed the deal.

He suggested some great locations for my daughter's senior pictures. He made her feel very comfortable too. Once the pictures were ready for review Dan went over every picture with us. Let us go back and forth so we could decide on the perfect shots. He took his time with us. Didn't make us feel rushed. He was great to work with and his photographs prove it. One thing I like is that Dan puts a personal touch on everything. I like how he will post sneak peek photos on social media and writes about his subject/family. He really tries to get to know you so you don't just feel like it's a job for him. So happy we chose Dan Quigley for my daughters senior pics!

If you're considering hiring a photographer for your wedding, please read this! Hiring Veronica…read moreVaros was hands down the best decision that we made for our wedding day. My husband does photography as a hobby and is very particular about style and technique, so I thought he would have a hard time being in love with any photographer. However, as soon as we saw her natural, bright and unposed style, we knew that we had to have her capture our day. I think that the photos speak for themselves, but what you can't see is probably most important - amazing customer service. From the time that I inquired about her availability all the way to delivering pictures, Veronica was very responsive and thorough. I've always felt welcome to ask questions, re-arrange the timeline, add extra time and so on. We conversed and processed all paperwork/payments online which is 100% my preferred method of communications (hi, millenial here). On the wedding day, having Veronica and her assistant there really helped me relax and enjoy the wedding instead of fretting about the timeline. She worked so well with the other vendors and my friends and family loved her too :) When my bustle broke, she even teamed up with my coordinator to fix it quickly and get me back to the party. If you got this far into this review, please take this away - a great photographer that you can trust is always worth the investment, and that's what Veronica is.

I am really not a person who is interested in being photographed, so when it comes to portraits, I'm not usually expecting to like very many of them. However - there's not one photo that she delivered that I wouldn't want to show off; I seriously love them all. She really brings out the best in your personality, and knows how to add a little extra camera flair to make it all seem to natural and dreamy. I very highly recommend Veronica to anyone looking for gorgeous portraits or wedding photography.
