    I wish I could just copy and paste the hundreds of people who dmed me saying that they are obsessed with my wedding and engagement photos. It was hundreds of people. I am not lying. Pol is amazing. He goes over and beyond to get the shot and truly captures the magic in the moment. Don't hesitate. Book him today. Get the engagement shoot too. Just do it. Best decision ever.

    Pol and his team are absolutely wonderful to work with! I highly recommend them for any photography you need done whether it's engagement, wedding, etc. Pol has so much energy and had us laughing through our engagement photos and wedding day. He is so much fun to work with and has an incredible eye for unique shots. The couple of days turn around on photos was so great! We got to enjoy looking through our wedding photos on our honeymoon which was so special. And the quantity and quality of photos is astounding. I highly recommend booking Sweetpapermedia for any and all photography you may need, even if you're not in the San Diego area. Pol loves to travel, even internationally, for his clients.

    Pol is amazing, creative, someone who thinks outside of the box to get those unique shots, and he great to work with. My husband and I don't have photoshoots so we were new at it all and Pol really makes you feel comfortable in front of the lens. We were truly lucky to come across Pol and also lucky that we had the pleasure of having him capture our engagement and our wedding. Family and friends who saw Pol's work were amazed with how beautiful they turned out and our videographer that we worked with on our wedding day (a different company) commented on how in all the years he's worked alongside different photographers, Pol is the best he has seen. It was cool how Pol also whipped up a GORGEOUS slideshow of about 25 edited pictures to play during our reception. These photos were taken before, during and after the ceremony. Everyone was so impressed with how fast he did this without compromising on the quality (CRAZY AMAZING)! He also provided our main photos all edited within only a few days after our wedding so we could enjoy those while waiting for the rest. Pol sees all of these creative shots that I feel not every photographer can think of and this just shows how creative and artistic he is! I would 100% recommend booking with Pol. The images you get are all you will have to look back on when remembering your big day or your engagement so pick someone whose style you love!

    Besides the fact that Pol has an absolutely beautiful eye for photos, he is overall just super chill and fun. If you think about it, your photo/video crew are going to be by your side more than ANYONE else your entire wedding day (except your significant other) so you better really like them as a person! With Pol, I felt like I was just hanging out with a friend all day who also just happens to take gorgeous photos. He made us feel super comfortable and I feel it really shows in how natural all of our photos look. My husband and I have been extremely happy with both our engagement shoot and our wedding day photos as a whole, not just a few key photos. His creative use of light, shadows, reflections, and color give his photos a little something extra that I think really sets his style apart from a lot of photographers. We could not have asked for a better photographer. Highly recommend!!!

    What can I say Pol Sena and his team at SweetPaperMedia did an amazing job Capturing our wedding. From the time we met and booked them months in advance. Everything has been pleasant. Pol is professional, fun, energetic, and Extremely creative. The way he captures the right shot every time, along with natural lighting, evening time shooting is completely amazing. He is very punctual on returning calls, emails, meetings which made the process easy. His team worked really well along with many other vendors that were on site. They managed to move, jump, climb on furniture, trees, maneuver around anything to get that perfect shot. Now that's one determine photographers. Pol and Anne you guys are amazing together. if you are searching for a photographer for your next event I highly recommend SWEET PAPER MEDIA and Pol Sena to capture life's most memorable moments.

    Pol was recommended to us by our wedding planner, Karen Aficial of Aficial Events, and it was one of the best decisions my fiancé and I made about our wedding! When we first saw Pol's portfolio, we were amazed by his work and knew we wanted him to capture all the special moments on our wedding day. Booking Sweet Paper Media and all communication was really easy and hassle free. On the day of the wedding, Pol made us feel at ease and comfortable which we felt showed through the pictures. We were married at the Brick in Point Loma, California and Pol did an excellent job picking locations throughout the area to take photos. It rained on the day of our wedding, but Pol made the whole experience so enjoyable, we were actually happy that it rained at the end of the day. Pol was able to adapt to the environment and we couldn't be happier with all the photos. We really appreciated that Pol not only did a great job working with us, but he did an awesome job when working with our wedding party, family, and friends. Everyone really enjoyed his energy at the wedding and at the end of the night, we knew we made the right decision going with Pol as our photographer. What separates Pol from all the other photographers that we looked at was his creativity and getting the best out of every photo. When we look back at our pictures, it takes us back and we get to experience the best day of our life over and over again. We're truly grateful to have all the great memories captured forever and it's all thanks to Pol!

    We had such an amazing time working with Pol throughout 2018 for all things wedding related. We were looking for a photographer that could shoot more of an editorial style, which is a bit untraditional compared to typical wedding photography and we knew we would find it working with Pol. - We started with our engagement shoot that was art gallery themed and Pol knew how to direct us and made it such a fun time! Our photos from that looked like they were from the pages of a Vogue shoot!! - Next was our Vietnamese tea ceremony and Pol was able to really capture the intimate feeling of this cultural event and brought to life all of the amazing elements of the day. - Then it was our big day! Pol and his team arrived and immediately started to capture all of the details of our wedding. He made sure to get photos of every part that meant a lot to us and was so easy to work with - you'd hardly know he was there! The photos from our wedding turned out breathtaking and we still so amazed how much we're able to relive this special day every time we look at them. - Lastly, we also worked with Sweetpapermedia on our photo shoot concept for our guests. Instead of your regular photo booth, we wanted to mimic the Vanity Fair Oscar Party portraits for our guests to make them feel really special and their photos would be something to keep! Pol and his team brought in an entire lighting set up and really killed it! Our guests were Lining up for a turn and every single photo taken looked like our guests were celebrities at a fashion shoot! The photos of a wedding are one of the most important elements for a couple to remember the best day of their lives and we are looking forward to recommending Sweetpapermedia for as long as they are around! Thank you Pol + Team - you captured a day that we'll remember for a lifetime.

    Pol is a magician. My husband and I have never been big on PDA and were both nervous at our engagement shoot. Pol was able to explain exactly how to stand, where to look, and what to do with our hands in a way that looked completely natural. Having the engagement shoot really helped us feel more comfortable for the big day since we felt like we had plenty of practice already. Pol's artistic eye for a beautiful photo opportunity is extraordinary. Where others see a wall, bush or passageway he sees texture, color and lighting that could make for a charming backdrop or frame. He is also an expert director. He was able to instruct the crowd of guests on where to stand and when to cheer upon our exit from the ceremony and entrance to the reception that not only made for incredible photos, but also made it so much fun for us and all of our guests. At the reception, he captured the moment in photos of everyone mingling and out on the dance floor. I couldn't be happier with the galleries of photos he sent us in less than 48 hours of each photo shoot. I can't decide which photos to print out for our wedding album because they're all great! And honestly, beyond the photos, I think he helped make our wedding epic with his unique way of boosting collective effervescence.

    Pol is THE BEST. He is sweet, kind, so so so so talented, and will produce the most beautiful, artistic photos you can't even imagine. Pol is a great communicator, is prompt, responsive, and reliable, which is awesome when you're stressing about a million other things about your wedding. I never worried about him - haha! He is great with people and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, gives you tons of instruction, and makes you look GOOD in photos. He has an incredible eye, and he sees things that others just don't, like how a certain light falls across the room, how plants or buildings look in the forefront of a photo or the background, how to play with contrast and texture and all of those amazing artsy things that you would never think of. You also end up with a zillion really good photos, not just a handful. It's so much fun to look at his work! He's just a great human. Hire him. Seriously. You won't regret it.

Alex was clear on posing directions and had such a calm demeanor/communication style that helped me feel reassured. Sheryl was our second photographer who captured the best candids and fun moments (e.g. one of the groomsmen had his shirt off and I didn't know until we saw the photos! HAHA). Dillan was here, there, and everywhere to get the best angles for our first dance, games, and guest reactions. Looking at our photos, I'm floored with how beautiful they turned out! The wedding day came and went like a flash, but now we have sooo many photos to remind us of the happy and heartwarming moments from that day. Excited to see how the videos turn out! Highly recommend considering True Photography & Video!

In fact, we made sure that Fate Studios was one of the first vendors we booked while planning our wedding (almost a year in advance)! David was always so detailed during our planning meetings and really helped put us at ease with our wedding timeline. His knowledge of all of the pretty photo-worthy spots in San Diego was really a huge advantage when planning our bride-groom sneak-away photos... They even drove us to Balboa Park during cocktail hour where they took some of our favorite photos. Throughout the entire day, David, Jerome, and their team of photographers and videographers were incredibly professional, but also super fun to work with. If you ever need a hype man to keep you feeling beautiful/handsome, it's David! Our photos were beautifully edited and our video is exceptional! My wife watched our wedding video every night after we got it, probably for a week straight - and still cries every time. Highly recommend Fate Studios for their top notch services. We love you guys!

    As with many other engaged couples, the pandemic had thrown a small wrench in our plans of a…read moretraditional wedding with a reception. Only the *tiniest* bit bummed, we decided to still get married and scheduled our civil ceremony. But now, I want a photographer to document this event... I think I found Emily on Instagram, after looking around at different photographers' work. I remember really liking Emily's style, how natural everyone looked, and how well Emily captured the moments. I think those were/are the most important things for me for choosing a photog, and it helped that Emily has (solid) reviews for me to go through as well. Emily was prompt in responding via email, and offered to chat on the phone to discuss the details and what I wanted. After talking for a bit, I sent over a deposit and we were set! Or not... because a week or two before our shoot, I looked at my civil ceremony appointment time and it was actually for 8am, NOT 8:30am. Yikes! I text Emily, nervous that she wouldn't be able to make the earlier time, and I would need to scramble for another photographer, but thankfully, Emily is flexible and okay with the earlier time. Phew! I also wasn't quite sure *what* I wanted from the photos (POSES? props!? specific backgrounds?!) but found some pictures I liked and sent them to Emily a day or two before our appointment, so she had an idea what I was going for. I appreciate Emily's responsiveness! The actual civil ceremony felt a little hectic; we did not know what it would entail -- paperwork, of course, and then waiting because there were other couples that were getting married that day. Thankfully, Emily was very patient. Emily is personable, friendly, and professional. She is very easy to work with, and helped the husband (!!) and I feel comfortable. Nothing felt forced, and I think she did a great job of eliciting and capturing our authentic moments. We are super pleased with the pictures and I can't stop looking at them! Lol. I would *definitely* solicit Emily's services again. Maybe for one of her fun mini shoots down the line. What a cute, low pressure and creative way to get some quality photos! Reception/after party TBA in December 2021! Or 2022, depending on how things shake out ;)

After reviewing her website and chatting with her on the phone she was hired for the job! Leading up to the party her communication skills were excellent, she even sent me a text the day of the party to confirm what time she would be there. She showed up early and was ready to shoot! She brought a mask but I told her we were comfortable with her not wearing it, she was prepared either way which is lovely in these "Covid times". She captured the essence of the party and let everyone relax and keep their phones away. As the host of the party I could relax and enjoy time with all of the guests instead of worrying about getting group shots. I must admit I live for a good candid photo and she got so many great ones of friends and family in our backyard, I'll cherish those photos for the rest of my life. She captured the epic cake smash and lots of other moments from the party. She did such a great job engaging with our son and the other kids to get their attention at the camera. I was shocked when less than 24 hours after the event on the Fourth of July weekend she sent me the link to the photos! She is a wonderful photographer and really made everyone feel at ease while taking photos. Like I said we came to find her just through the internet but we will be using her again and again!
