I was excited to use this studio after booking on peerspace for my music video shoot! The plan was…read moreto use fake blood on a white background, and I know some studios are scared of that so I contacted them ahead of time and was assured this would be no issue. Katie from management told us "We've had messier shoots" as you see in the attached photo messages and that worst case we'd pay a $100 repainting fee We finished our video shoot and there was quite a mess of blood that needed mopping. We asked the on staff manager multiple times if there was more we could do to help clean as we did NOT want to leave the place in a mess that the location would be unhappy with. We were reassured multiple times by THEIR staff that we were good to go and they would "take care of it". We also stayed behind with the artist from our shoot, videographer, and director to assist however we could. Before leaving, once again we were reassured the place would be all set. After all...we paid a cleaning fee AND the repainting fee that was mentioned. The next day I get a scathing unprofessional phone call and texts from the owner who clearly had not communicated with Katie or the on staff manager and was upset at the mess left. I was shocked! We had such a great time, in fact I even left an amazing review for them on peerspace! I was forced by peerspace to pay an additional $400 in cleaning fees, which I did... and they had the AUDACITY to write me a bad review as if I was to blame for their staffs poor communication skills. YES we were aware this would be a messy shoot, that's why we asked up front AND prior to leaving if they needed us to clean more. There's a lot of other places to film your projects. I'd avoid here. They blame the client for their own poor communication. They could've told us no up front...they didn't. The on staff manager could've asked us to clean up better prior to leaving after we stayed later and asked if they needed more from us....they didn't. We were reassured multiple times we were all set prior to leaving the set. And then were charged hundreds of dollars on TOP of the cleaning and repainting fee we offered. I'm not sure how this would be our crews fault, but such is life. This business is untrustworthy and run by an unhinged owner. AVOID.

We recently rented Skylight Studios to host a professional photographers' workshop, and the…read moreexperience was outstanding. The space is beautifully large, clean, and filled with natural light--perfect for both learning and creating. All of our attendees had ample room to work comfortably, and our guest speaker had more than enough space to present and engage. We also brought in models for hands-on shooting, and the studio provided a polished, professional, and welcoming environment. The staff was incredibly helpful, assisting us with everything from sound setup to kitchen access. Their support made the day run smoothly. Overall--wow! You truly can't beat the size, atmosphere, or the amazing team at Skylight Studios. I'd absolutely rent this space again without hesitation and actually can't wait to do so! Ask for Katie for great service and assistance in renting this beautiful space.

I'm OBSESSED with my Wedding Photo's! I literally look at them every day. Not to mention, we got…read moreall our wedding photos back in 16 days! YES I said 16 DAYS (we were quoted 4-6 weeks). We were so excited when we got our photos back early! Sam & Erica of SamErica Studio's are my new favorite photographers! They are so creative, professional, personal, and fun!

The day of the ceremony, he was flexible with our lax schedule and fairly non-traditional approach, and ultimately did what he does best -- capturing our families in a very organic, natural way. The final product was a set of gorgeous memories that we will treasure forever. Of all the vendors/specialists we dealt with while planning the wedding, Drew stood out as being one of the most exceptional partners. Thank you!

With a tremendous eye for what works, Drew understands composition, vision and the best way to…read morecapture light. Because of that, our engagement photo shoot with Drew could not have gone smoother. Over the course of several hours, Drew took us to the best spots in San Diego to capture our vision. His understanding of composition and ability to try new and exciting scenes made my fiancé and I so comfortable. As with any artist, you must let down your guard and trust them to deliver your vision...or trust them to create one for you that is honest, complex and very much "you". Drew accomplishes this on multiple levels, professionally, artistically and personally. After just a few hours, we had hundreds of rich, high-quality photos to choose from. We've received numerous compliments on our engagement photos and had a hard time choosing just one for our "Save the Date". To truly appreciate the results, you need to use someone that truly appreciates the art form. Look no further.
