The second photographer, Jenn, she killlled it with all the groom's photos. So many awesome snaps were taken for me to look back on moments I missed throughout the day. Some amazing shots of my guests just enjoying themselves have been my favorite to look back at. Thank you so so much to Pauleen , Dustin, and Jenn!! Also, before Dustin entered my bridal suite, Pauleen asked if it was okay for him to enter, and I think even her going that extra step to ask if he could enter really was so sweet and I am so touched she was so thoughtful. During my big day when I just felt like Mickey Mouse smiling for the crowd, Pauleen and Dustin kept the energy upbeat and kept reminding me to breathe. Loved them so much!! Can't imagine my day without them. We also snuck into the Windmill Food Hall arcade to sneak some photos since we were so good on our timeline and they turned out to be some of my favorite photos!

The photos came in the exact time she quoted us but the edits look like pictures taken and edited off an iPhone. Not happy with them. I had to re-crop and edit majority of all photos as best I could as all the edits completely washed out our skin tone, the colors of the sky etc. I asked for the raws so I could just edit them myself from scratch and it's been 2 weeks and still haven't received them. Didn't remind us or inform to take phones/wallets out of pockets so those just look lovely in all our photos **sarcasm**. Book with someone else who knows what they're doing and takes their time on special memories like this. Updating my review! Got some of the raws back a day after making my review, which was nice of her to send as she said she didn't usually do so, but the quality of the photos look like they were taken on an iPhone..it was nice to see some of the photos that didn't come through as finals. Aside from how the photos came out, the one positive was that Anel was easy to communicate with and nice overall!!

There aren't enough words of praise in the English language for Shaun of Top Shelf Photo! We were…read morelucky enough to find him on Yelp for our engagement photos, and in mid-November of 2024 he braved the chill of Palomar Mountain to take spectacular photos of us. Nonstop compliments from friends and family, and received much quicker than anticipated. Once we got into wedding planning, Shaun was the obvious choice for our photography needs. Along with his second shooter Jess (Jessica Christie Photography), he again knocked it out of the park. Couldn't have asked for more perfect photos. On a more personal note, Shaun is the above-and-beyond type of person to take the absolute best shots possible. Like, fixing the boutonniere on my suit himself for the exact right angle, or gently shoo'ing away stinkbugs while helping my wife to re-tie her wedding shoes type of person. His passion and dedication for his craft are inspiring, and I guarantee if you don't love being in photos as a general rule (like myself) he will absolutely put you at ease and make it look like you've been modeling all your life. Thank you for everything Shaun, from the bottom of our hearts.

Never a dull moment and always laughing and good vibes! So we knew they were the right people to shoot for our wedding day!

They brought their kindness and patience, as I can only understand how long of a day it can be but they were troopers all day and kept us motivated! Makes me want to get into photography because of them!! You can tell how well they work as a team, along with communication and being flexible with anything and everything!

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!

Meredith had her home studio set up so cozy when we arrived with our 10 day old baby. The room was very warm and she had a heartbeat/whitenoise sound on so baby would be so cozy and calm. Meredith has since done some 9mo pictures of our baby and we plan to have her at the first birthday party to capture that day as well. Meredith is very flexible and offered to meet me basically anywhere I wanted for the 9mo pics, and when I wasn't sure about a location, she gave me a few really good ideas to choose from. Furthermore, her rates are very reasonable, which is something I appreciate as otherwise I wouldn't be able to hire her for pictures so often. I definitely recommend Fortune and Glory to anyone wanting beautiful family pictures.
