My fiancé and I loved working with Stephanie for a surprise proposal video and photoshoot…read more 1. She was very communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. From receiving the quote all the way to the finalization of the gallery, she never stopped answering questions and always had recommendations to make everything better and smoother. 2. She had fun energy and made the photoshoot enjoyable and memorable. Both my fiancé and I are introverted people that don't really take a lot of pictures. However, working with Stephanie was such an easy and relaxed experience. 3. She does her research and it shows. She is based in LA / OC County, I did request her to come out to Northern San Diego County. I had chosen one spot for the proposal. She came back to me and asked if we would also like to take pictures at another spot a few miles away. So while we originally only had one place to take pictures, we ended up taking pictures at two different places that were both great. 4. The photos came out amazing. The entire galley of photos she had were amazing and we wish we could have kept them all. The hardest part about the entire process were narrowing down our favorite photos in the galley. 10/10 Would Take More Pictures with Stephanie

Posting a follow-up as I've received direct messages from random Yelpers over the past few months…read morestating they had similar frustrations as me or asking about my concluding experience. After continued attempts to get a hold of Angela via phone and emails, I finally tried TEXTING Angela in November. I was happy to see a text response from her! but then baffled when I read her message. I've attempted to post screenshots of the text exchange but it appears only a portion is posting. In summary, Angela stated she felt she was harassed by me and would not respond to my bullying tactics. Again, I was dumbfounded. Ultimately, she refused to return our $100 deposit and went silent on us again. In hindsight, I should have noticed that most of the Yelp reviews are over a year old. I don't see any recent reviews which should have been a red flag. I hope Angela is able to improve her operations and customer experience as she is clearly talented at taking beautiful photos.

For the newborn photoshoot, we spent the full four hours in Angela's studio, which allowed me, a first time mom, to really enjoy the process. Angela took great care of us every step of the way, from making sure the baby is comfortable during the naked baby pictures, to making sure mom and dad look ready and stress-free for the family pictures. I'm extremely happy with how the pictures turned out and the grandparents are so in love with all the pictures. If you're on the fence about doing a newborn photoshoot, please do it and go with Angela!

Jen is the photographer I will be using for every occasion! Her photography skills are unmatched!…read moreJen really captured our personalities and vibe our clients know us for, and our experience was both fun and exciting! I haven't taken professional pictures in some time, so I was a bit anxious before the shoot. My worry, however, was laid at ease because of how comfortable Jen made me feel in front of the lens, and that is a skill in itself. I'm so excited to use these photos of myself, my co-worker, and my salon for marketing and more. Thank you, Jen!

Tran is one of the best photographers I have worked with and delivered the most gorgeous photos…read more She provided and beautiful location and email that was thorough with details and even had a clothing guide for support and ideas. Since we had family pictures, she was extremely patient with the little ones even when they pulled out the bubbles and refused to put them down. Tran encouraged us to interact with one another for more natural photos rather than stock posed photos. She took photos of us as a family, couple, pictures of us parents individually with each kid and awesome individuals of our children. We moved to different parts of the beach for various shot options. and her edits were bright and airy making us look like we belong in a magazine. I now have some of the most beautiful photos of my family and especially individual shots of my little ones. HIGHLY recommend to anyone in the South Bay :)

This is a long due review. We had the pleasure of working with James for our wedding photos in…read more2023. James was absolutely the hardest working vendor at our wedding. He arrived on time and worked his camera tirelessly for almost 10 hours capturing our entire wedding. He even kneeled on the ground to take many of our photos which to this day we are still amazed by his professionalism. Great work ethic as well. You would think for a 10 hr event, many photographers would take several breaks but not James. He took so many photos and urged us to take more pictures. Communication was fast, responsive and stress free. We were very comfortable with him on our big day as well as for our engagement photos. The only thing I would mention is to practice poses ahead of time, some were a little repetitive and lacked the "instagram wow" feel but if you're someone not good with posing, James will give suggestions so don't worry. The best part is you get to keep all of the photos not just the selected edited ones. I now realized not all photographers will give you the entire gallery which would be a huge disappointment for your big day. I like his editing style which is realistic and authentic with enhanced color. As many mentioned, turn around time was super fast. James also made several small edits to our final gallery to make the pictures even better. Pricing was reasonable. Overall it was a pleasant experience.

John, The photos you captured of me were beautiful. Just…read morewhat I was looking for. I've never really had a photographer capture my personality in that way and capture me as I moved about. I let you know what was important to me and you listened. That was evident. From the moment I met you at the shoot location , I felt comfortable. You were casually dressed and ready to bend and arc to get the shot and stay connected to me and what we were doing. From that initial contact with you through email you clarified what I wanted and needed in my photos. You offered your professional opinion and gave me options. You listened, responded to my questions quickly, and I didn't have to wonder if you would respond. We booked as i felt I could trust your work yet mostly your character. One of the persons in my business group highly recommended you. You made sure from start to finish I felt taken care of, You skillfully followed the light and me. You worked with how I moved and gave me direction as I was trying to capture a dance movement in a photo and reach my audience. You got it! I love my photos. Thank you John, you're quite the professional and gentleman. Thank you for helping me up when my heels gave me a little spill. I hope to work with you in the future exclusively for all of my photo needs. I'd highly recommend you to anyone looking to capture who you are and reach your audience while doing it. John will get the shot! Sincerely, Shantel Sent from my iPhone

He not only shoots photographs, but he can do video and drone footage. He made a fantastic video with music for our YouTube channel.

Even with staff headshots for our website (which JP helped us make GIFs out of most recently!) are true art. They are social, professional, and most importantly FUN to have shooting your party or wedding. They have photo booths! The attention to detail is to the point that JP hangs his own photos when we buy a piece or installation just to be sure it looks perfect. Also, im pretty sure they have made me at LEAST 25% more handsome in every photo they've taken of me. Highly highly recommend. Very talented artists, and just a really neat, local, family run business. You will be glad you called!

If you want the best photos for your wedding, go with Shutter Styles Photography. This is a local,…read morehusband/wife duo that are absolutely brilliant to work with. JP and his wife Penny were professional, efficient, friendly, and most importantly, produced some of the most beautiful wedding photos I have ever seen. We did not get to work with Penny during our wedding, but she was just as wonderful "behind the scenes" as her husband JP was up front. Both were a JOY to work with! Their work is incredible, and I love my wedding photos almost as much as I love my husband ;) But in all seriousness, getting to work with SSP was a dream for us. We found them through friends, and we had our fingers crossed that they had our date open, and might consider working within our budget. We had a smaller wedding so we didn't need a large photography package- just some photos of us and our family beforehand, and photos during and after the ceremony. We arranged to meet with JP before our wedding to make sure we were a good "fit" for each other, and discuss our budget. As we laughed over beers and snacks while watching his adorable son play on the jungle gym, we knew it was meant to be! We also learned more about SSP's work, and were blown away by the wide array of experience and talent. Shutter Styles is an all-star vendor; from our first meeting to the actual event, they were wonderful, fun, and professional. Any text or email was responded to within minutes, and any worries I had were soothed by their years of experience and calming responses to me. Our wedding day was so special to us, and we love and appreciate that JP treated it the same way. He made us laugh when we had no idea what to do during our first look, he corralled our huge family for family photos, he kept us on schedule, and he even gave us a ride to our reception after our post ceremony photos! Most importantly, he treated us like friends, and made sure we had fun and got what we wanted out of our photos. There is nothing more priceless than that. On a sidenote- we had planned our wedding to coincide with a beautiful winter sunset. The day of our wedding (right before the first look) thick, marine fog started rolling in. I mean, rolling fast. As I was walking up to our "first look" and seeing the fog grow thicker, I couldn't help but feel a little down. How can wedding photos in fog be any good? WHERE WAS MY SUNSET?!?! JP saw my panic beginning to rise, and assured me everything would be fine. And it was more than fine- our photos were stunning, unique, and something we will treasure forever. We cannot thank JP and Penny enough, and we would highly recommend them!
