We are so happy we found Christina, amid all the options out there. When we decided to elope in…read moreSequoia National Park instead of doing a big wedding, we had high hopes for some beautiful photos - and Christina totally exceeded our vision, giving us stunning photos we cannot stop staring at! We were both so impressed with the way Christina showed off the epic scenery while also showcasing us as a couple. Christina has such an amazing combination of creativity and professionalism. Locking down the date for the wedding turned out to be a hassle due to closures at Sequoia all Spring, yet Christina just planned out several backup plans and we felt so much better. Her expert knowledge of the area and years of experience shooting elopements in the mountains helped immensely as we dealt with the park's uncertainty. She's an expert communicator and planner who can give you an agenda for the whole day if you want, or can be very flexible and accommodating to our own plans. She really cared about our unique ideas and wanted to collaborate. In the end, all her planning paid off and our wedding adventure went off without a hitch! Our photos are truly amazing and authentic to our special day, and I know they're going to bring us joy forever.

Prior to booking Jesse I was very specific with the mood and style of his edits. I told him I…read morewanted our pictures edited just like all of his post on his Instagram. I also made sure to ask how long his turn around time was and he said 6-8weeks. Met up with him communicated really well in the beginning until Full amount was fully paid. We booked Jesse for Photography & Videography for our wedding on April 20th 2024. Our group pictures were horrible, it was soooo dark, we all looked yellow, and looked nothing close to his Instagram posts! Look at the pictures for proofs! It was sooo stressful! I reached out to Jesse for the first time on June 6th 2024 to get updates and I did not get a response back until June 12th 2024!! With another follow up message...... and this pattern continued on. I would get little to NO RESPONSE back horrible lack of communication. He even went off on me super rude when he told me to call him. We got to the point where we almost had to take legal actions because we did not receive our photos until July 4th 2024 & our videos was not given to us until 6 Months later on October 20th 2024. PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF A HEADACHE. DO NOT HIRE JESSE!!!! Book someone who actually cares about his clients, shows them respect and communicates very well with them. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, RUDE & LACK OF COMMUNICATION.

DON'T book with Jesse for your video!!! I want to start off…read moresaying our pictures were good, something definitely not edited but in the big picture fine. However our video was horrible. First off we waited almost a Whole year to get it back. When we were told that it was "almost done" in May. We didn't receive it untill Oct 25 2024. Mind you our wedding was November 4th 2023. I sent well over 15 messages throughout those months with no reply. When we finally got a response it was a screenshot of a text from someone else. That left me with no questions and absolutely no response. The "raw" was spliced with an edited video that made Zero sense. The footage we got back I'm just extremely disappointed in the product we received. We should have had the big day captured our FIRST KISS and everything instead we have a slow motion version that's choppy and not what we agreed. We were told by that we would get the all the footage. But like I said we haven't. The first kiss "raw" footage we got was of my husband back. Like seriously. And now we are being told that is it . And basically we don't have those moments. I would have made the review in October but I have been waiting 2 months for a response. Unfortunately nothing will be done we missed out on a beautiful once in a lifetime event being captured the way we agreed. Take these bad reviews into consideration and save yourself the heartache of your big day being botched in the videos.

Angela Eller photography is phenomenal for newborn photos! After shopping around for a…read morephotographer we took our 2 week old there and the entire experience was second to none. It starts off with a consultation where she shows you numerous examples of her creative photos. She will then work with you as to what elements and poses you were looking to have done. She then presented her price list and package deals. Her prices are very reasonable and once you see the magic she can do with a camera, any reservations about pricing will quickly fade. On the day of the shoot her private studio was very warm and comfortable(might I also add it is a very clean and professional studio). She worked quickly and efficiently through the session and was very gentle and loving towards our baby, he never even fussed once! The sitting area where my wife and I observed everything from was very comfortable and stocked with snacks and drinks. Finally, she will schedule a day where you come back to review the pictures and make your package selections. Seeing the absolute beauty and whimsy she was able to capture was astonishing. We are both nothing short of 110 percent satisfied and will not hesitate to recommend her to everyone!

I've known Corey since we were kids. Certainly, I'm biased in his favor, but the reason I keep…read morereturning to him for photography is because he's fantastic. He has an eye for people and settings and the finished work really has a sense of life to it. Just go to his website and you can see he's good. My most recent photography session was extremely important to me: I needed a photo for my book jacket. My book is steampunk, so the clothing and the mood is important. Corey and I talked it over--what I needed, what kind of setting, what I would wear. We did the photos in China Alley in Hanford. The results--wow. It was hard to choose one photograph to send along to my publisher. My past sessions with Corey have also involved my young son, who is autistic. It can be hard for my little guy to focus or smile on command. Corey was very patient and gentle. He even gave my son a job to distract him for a little while, carrying some stuff around, so that my husband and I could get our pictures together.

I was lucky enough to win a photo shoot with Corey Ralston Photography in 2009. It was Fall, so it…read morewas perfect timing for a family portrait with me, my husband and my little dog. Corey was very accessible and it was easy discussing what we wanted--something festive and outdoors for our first-ever Christmas postcard. On the day of the shoot, we met Corey at a beautiful country estate location that he had told us about. We all had such a lovely afternoon with him as he helped us find fun, yet comfortable & natural poses. He even had a blanket prepared, so we could take some shots lying on the grass, while not getting dirty. Corey has a great personality, and it's very easy to open up to him and joke around allowing him to capture your real laughs and smiles--not the overly stiff or phony facial expressions that you see all too commonly at your generic big box McPhoto studio. Now, I don't think it's easy working with animals, but Corey didn't show any signs of frustration, worry or fear when working with our dog. In fact, he captured some really adorable expressions from that grumpy little guy! Now that's a miracle! When we got the photos back, we were so thrilled to see that there were so many good ones to choose from for our postcard! Ultimately, we found one photo that we loved more than the others (it was a hard decision--they were all fantastic!) and used it for our holiday post card. We got a lot of great responses from our family and friends from that post card--one relative even told us that they almost threw it away because it looked like a professional advertisement. Slick! I'm so glad I got to have a photo shoot with Corey, and I HIGHLY recommend him!

Trish is a good friend of mine and I could have not asked for a better person to be by my side and capture her last moments of life here, I will forever treasure them .
