Third Element did an AMAZING job on both our engagement (Zach) and wedding photos (Zach and Kate). We could not be more pleased with how the photos turned out and Zach is so awesome to work with! He traveled a few hours for both our engagement session and our wedding, made sure we got all the photos we wanted at our wedding while also making sure we enjoyed our day, and, of course, produced amazing work that we, along with all our family and friends, are literally obsessed with. Would definitely recommend them for anything you need!! read more

Third Element Photography & Cinema - Session Photography Near Me

We hired Third Element (Jacki and Zack) to do our wedding after seeing some wedding photos on Facebook that a coworker had attended. I LOVED their style and the prices were very reasonable. I feel like photographers are the easiest to choose since they showcase their stuff online and I was very excited to have them. Check out their Facebook page now! What really amazes me (besides the breathtaking photo's) was how awesome they were to work with. Jacki and I had calls because she wanted to get to know our story beforehand and they both worked a solid 10 hours to make sure they captured everything from getting ready to staying late for those amazing sunset shots. Jacki even looked up our venue online to see where the best shots would be - that kind of detail and dedication was exactly what I was looking for. On the day of, I barely noticed them (made me a bit nervous actually) but they were actually being stealth and staying out of the way while somehow capturing every amazing moment. We've gotten so many compliments on our photos and I'll tell you that I'm very picky and kick-a$$ photographers was #1 on my wedding must have list. I'm SO happy I went with them - plus we didn't have to break the bank to afford such high quality work. I highly recommend them. read more

Zach and Forrest are super nice and very talented. We got married at City Hall in SF and even though they're based out of Fresno, they had no problems being our photographer. Their pictures have great clarity and nice color, but aren't overly dramatic or fake looking if that makes sense. They were really good about taking creative photos, but also patient enough to take all of our posed family photos. We researched and met with a lot of photographers and I think for the price, you will not find a better team. They also have a really cool photo guestbook, which is one of our favorite things from our wedding. Definitely check out their website to see all of their great work. read more

Five stars is not enough for these guys, and there are not enough ways to express how much we enjoyed working with them. A classmate of mine used Third Element for his wedding photos, and I was blown away when the pictures came out - I had to know who did them. We knew that we would book Third Element before we even knew when our wedding date was! Our photographers were Zach and Jacki. Both of these individuals are nothing but fun, professional, and all-around wonderful folk. Shooting with them was like having your good friends running around with cameras at your wedding - easy, no-frills, no pressure. The photos are spectacular - we can't stop looking at them!!! They really captured the spirit of our event, of us, and of our guests. People keep asking who our photographers were, and we just direct everyone to the site. The next time we hire a company for big lifetime events, we will call Third Element without a moment's hesitation. read more

I found Forrest through Wedding Wire. I was looking for photographers and they were the second one I clicked on, and I never looked back. From the moment I saw their style of photography, I knew it would be perfect for my fiance and I. I emailed and called (I was very eager) and Forrest responded back quickly. Being as though I am not from the Visalia area, nor was I getting married in that area, I was concerned that this might not work out. He was very accommodating and they travel quite regularly for weddings and even with a travel fee, they were so affordable. Forrest was shooting a wedding in San Diego, and he set aside time for us for an engagement session. After the first hour we were sold. Personality is important in photographers because they are with you all day and so it is so important to be comfortable with them. On the day of the wedding, both Forrest and Jacki interacted with our friends and family that numerous people asked us how long we had known them. Plus their photos of our wedding were AMAZING. I continue to receive compliments on them. We also did their photo guest book which was possibly the best decision we made -- they took incredible wonderful photos of our guests and then transposed our guests signatures and messages into a beautiful book. This is a wonderful keepsake that we treasure -- and so many people have commented on how jealous they are of our guestbook (which often gets neglected at wedding receptions). I am so happy to have found them, and I highly highly highly recommend them to anyone who is getting married. I can't wait to have another event (baby bump photo maybe?) for them to photograph. Do yourself a favor and HIRE HIM!!! read more

My husband and I could not be more happy with Forrest and his work. Not only is he a great guy but also a very talented photographer. We are so thankful for our beautiful engagement and wedding photos. We would recommend him to anyone, and will be using him again ourselves. read more

Phenomenal. Zach was so great to work with. I called almost all of the photographers in the area as I was looking into wedding photographers, and I knew immediately that Zach would be a great fit for us. We had so much fun during our engagement session, and he was very helpful in teaching us how to pose and what looks good on camera. His editing style is true to color and clean, and we were very happy with our pictures. On the day of our wedding, Zach and Forrest were our photographers, and I was happy that I knew I did not have to worry about how our pictures would turn out. They did a great job of covering all of the wedding and working with people. They were flexible in getting the shots that we wanted, and they were easy and fun to work with. read more

My husband and I got married last October and were overjoyed to hire Third Element Studios. They were professional, easy to work with, and extremely accommodating. We had so many wedding details to worry about, but photography was never one of them. They confirmed all of the details two weeks prior, were prompt and on time to everything, and made sure to capture every detail and candid moment of our wedding day. Our photos were phenomenal! Forrest and Zach did an awesome job! Our friends and family are still raving about how clean and unique each photo is. And the album they put together for us...unbelievable! Each page was specially designed and truly enhance the, already gorgeous, photos that were taken. There are not enough businesses in the industry of their caliber. I was beyond impressed with their professionalism and skill. They are worth every penny. My husband and I will be able to enjoy our photos, and relive our special day, for a lifetime. Thank you to Third Element Studios for contributing to our perfect wedding day! I recommend them without reservation. read more
