I paid $2,550 for my wedding photography and genuinely regret choosing this photographer. After…read moreposting an honest negative review, she even threatened legal action--despite having no grounds for it. It made me wonder how many couples before me have been pressured into silence. The online gallery she uses is extremely outdated and unreliable. It took me EIGHT attempts to download my own wedding photos--and I'm a software engineer on gigabit fiber. The issue was not on my end; her server repeatedly failed. Earlier in October, her gallery also included at least one photo that appeared to be warped by AI (two versions of the same image, one with my face oddly altered and facing the wrong direction). She said the final edits would be uploaded later, so I planned to re-download everything once those were ready. But by November, the gallery kept failing and I couldn't reliably access the finalized version at all. I wish I could upload the AI-warped photo here so others could see what I mean, but her contract prevents clients from sharing images in "unauthorized" ways--and based on her legal threats, I'm afraid she'd try to sue. The bigger problem: the USB drive included in my package--the backup in case the gallery failed--never arrived. She mailed it through USPS with no insurance or protection. When it went missing, USPS couldn't help, and the tracking number went nowhere. When I told her plainly that the USB never arrived and the gallery was repeatedly failing, her response was essentially: "Too bad. Pay again." She wanted $68.95 for a replacement and offered no assistance with the gallery issues. Refusing to replace a missing deliverable that represents a tiny fraction of the $2,550 I already paid felt shockingly stingy and unprofessional. She could have replaced it--she simply chose not to. And here's what should concern any bride: If the gallery had completely failed and the USB was lost, we would have had no access to our final edited wedding photos at all, despite paying thousands of dollars. No reputable photographer should ever leave clients in that position. Update: Only after I warned her that I would be leaving a negative review--and then actually posted it--did she finally offer to send a replacement USB. A few days later, USPS unexpectedly located the original package at a different facility, over a month after it had been marked "delivered." I picked it up and told her a replacement was no longer needed. Her reaction? She took that opportunity to double down and blame ME for USPS' mistakes, implying I hadn't done my "due diligence," even though we had visited the post office multiple times and called in, visited the tracking site, and in all attempts was told there was nothing they could do. A professional vendor insures important shipments, ensures deliverability, and advocates for their clients--not points fingers. To make matters worse, I later learned from my wedding venue who recommended her that -- independent of my complaint -- that they already happened to have removed her from their preferred vendor list prior to any outreach from me due to other unrelated, but repeated, issues they had with her independently which they had already given her feedback for, and which she was unable to improve on. Therefore, it appears that the concerns I experienced were not an isolated case. Apparently my wedding was the last wedding she would be photographing at my venue because she was already discontinued by the time I mentioned my problem to them. In my experience, when something goes wrong, she does not take responsibility and instead blames the client. With a once-in-a-lifetime event like a wedding, that is not a risk I would ever take again. Update #2: She later responded to my review claiming that I had already downloaded my photos in October. Sure okay -- I downloaded what was available back then after multiple attempts as well, but those files included the warped AI-looking image, which obviously meant they weren't the finalized edits. Who realistically would settle for that instead of asking that the final versions of the photos of their wedding they paid thousands for be provided? In her response she says, "This matter has been resolved and the client has received everything included in the contract." Sure, technically the gallery photos and USB eventually made it here, but during that whole process, it was pretty awful having to deal with her constant assumptions & blame, dismissiveness, repeated evasions of responsibility, and threats of legal action being taken against me for complaining.

I am so IN LOVE with the book. For the price ($200) It is so worth it and it is also something I'm going to keep and treasure forever. We just completed our Christmas holiday mini photo shoot with Josie Tan. I'm so excited for the turnout of the photos and am confident she will make us so happy and satisfied with the results. :) I am totally stoked to make a story line collage of our family photos on our wall from Josie's Photography.

He listened to me when I said I wanted an outdoor photoshoot, which isn't your standard Realtor head-shot, and scouted out a perfect location. Once we were there, he made me feel comfortable from the get-go, cracking jokes and carrying on conversation which made it feel less stiff and awkward. (I don't know about anyone else, but sometimes getting your picture taken can feel awkward. Haha) We walked around the park for probably an hour stopping along the way to get different shots, backgrounds, etc. and he couldn't have picked a better location. I'm very happy with all of my photos. The way he captured my natural smiles/laughter made it seem almost candid, which was the look I was going for. Also I wanted to mention that CJ efficiently communicated with me throughout the entire time he was editing my photos, as he knew I needed them back as soon as possible. He answered emails/texts promptly and was really knowledgeable when I had questions for him. I'll definitely be using him in the future to shoot commercials and video promos too! Highly recommend!

CJ from Klaxon isn't your typical production director, but instead a creative, hands on and personal artist whose main goal is to connect with his clients as individuals and ensure that your ideas come to life in the way you see them in your head. He was incredibly professional and took the time to set up multiple meetings over FaceTime and he worked around my schedule to make that happen. If you're looking for a flexible and professional, production company for creative or commercial work, go with Klaxon.

My husband and I are SO happy we invested in them and selected them to capture the essence of our beautiful wedding day. When first shopping around for a videographer months ago, my photographer and other vendors kept recommending adding Moving Pictures to our dream team line up. The only reservation I had was the price. Videography services are expensive in general and going with Moving Pictures did mean I had to up my budget some. (Note that it is steep but SO worth every single penny. I have no regrets whatsoever and I believe you truly get what you pay for--in this case, a high quality, perfect product). My husband and I were sold when we browsed their collection of work online. We literally went through and watched every single clip we could find on their website, Facebook, Instagram and FELL IN LOVE. It wasn't until we watched a Feature Film for a couple that made us say YES. The feature film hit us with a wave of emotions--we were joyous, our heart strings were pulled, we cried like babies--and we didn't even know this couple! We knew that if Moving Pictures would capture and present our day to make others feel the way we did with this couple--they were the ones for us. And so, we contacted them! I first spoke with Carrie who was wonderful in providing me all the helpful information (packages, prices, how they work, etc.). She was always quick to respond to my e-mails and gave me clear expectations and timelines. Once we signed with them, we were notified of who our Cinematographer would be, Rev, and he was kind enough to give us a call a few weeks prior to the big day to review expectations, the wedding day timeline, and any special requests we had. On the big day, Rev and his assistant Zee arrive and were so professional. What's great about Moving Pictures is how well they worked with our photography team, ANIKO Productions, to capture all the right shots and angles. You can tell they are such professionals in the work they do and considered everything. I knew our day was in the right hands with this team. Exactly three months after our wedding day we are contacted by Emily, our film editor. She invites us to come into the studio for a special premiere screening of our feature film. (Can I emphasize that it was only THREE MONTHS? I hear stories of films taking at least 5 months, or even 9-12!) My husband and I were in tears the entire time. The opening and closing, the speeches and stories interwoven throughout the entire film, the scoring, the beautiful, high quality footage--EVERYTHING was truly moving. They went above and beyond our expectations to put together a film that we will cherish forever. We were so happy with how everything turned out and there is absolutely nothing we would change. Your wedding day goes by in the blink of an eye and Moving Pictures does a fantastic job of capturing those special feelings, moments, and details for you to relive the best day of your life over and over again. Thank you, Moving Pictures, for being TOP KNOTCH in your field! What an amazing group of professionals!

I could see in my head what I wanted our wedding to look like but I couldn't really express it and I certainly didn't know how to make it happen. We had a destination wedding so we had our meetings with Christina over Skype. Somehow she not only figured out who we were as a couple but she knew exactly what we wanted. She was able to create a beautiful design that not only represented both the bride and the groom but also wowed our guests. Some of the comments I have heard or read since the wedding: "Seriously this wedding belongs on a TLC show" "I haven't been able to stop telling people about those centerpieces" and "that was the most beautiful wedding I have ever attended"...thank you so much, Christina. It was so beautiful and the conversion was flawless. The wedding was simply magical. You were a huge part of the best night of my life and I feel lucky I got to work with you. Your staff was professional and efficient. You are a total professional and an amazing artist. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
