After a quick phone call to go over the details, he immediately jumped into action and made the entire process stress free. Shaun captured our proposal perfectly and delivered absolutely stunning photos that exceeded every expectation. On top of that, he sent us sneak peeks the very next day, which made us even more excited to see the full gallery. Throughout the experience, Shaun was professional, patient, experienced, and attentive to what we wanted. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured every special moment beautifully. If you're looking for someone who is passionate about their work, I can't recommend Shaun enough. I would absolutely hire him again!!

Both Pauleen and Myro are incredibly talented and professional photographers. Pauleen helped make us feel entirely at ease in front of the camera with her directions and constantly hyping us up. On our wedding day, she knew all the best photo spots at our venue and was able to get us a wide variety of photos for our couple's portraits. Myro did a fantastic job getting photos of all our guests during the cocktail hour. We had several guests compliment how friendly he was and how many people he captured. In the background leading up to our wedding day, the True Photography team helped put a photography timeline that aligned with our wedding coordinator's timeline. This helped ensure we got all the photos needed included first looks, couple's portraits, family portraits, etc. No special moment was missed by the team throughout the wedding. From first looks to dancing at the end of the night, we the full story of our wedding day captured!

I'm not even sure where to begin with writing this review. Heather is an AMAZING photographer. She…read moreshot my brother's wedding back in 2013, and did an incredible job at his wedding that when it was my turn, I knew she would be ours too. My husband and I got married in July of 2018, and while Heather hadn't shot at our venue before, she came to our final detail meeting to scope out the location and do prework. She didn't have to do it, but it was another opportunity for us to meet in person too before the big day and go over the photos we wanted. Heather is incredibly professional and kind, yet also has the right around of direction to herd family for family photos! Getting 25 people in one photo is no small feat, but she is up to the task and makes you feel at ease. Throughout the day she was incredibly sweet, checking on us to make sure we were okay, but also giving us direction for when she found the perfect shot. Smiling hurts after a while! So when we were getting a bit tired she was flexible and made it work. She is helpful, dedicated and thoughtful which made her such a joy to work with. Not to mention, the photos turned out AMAZING. We have had so many compliments from family and friends; they are all obsessed with them! We are too, of course :) We loved working with you, Heather!

We're not from the area, and we didn't expect to be stuck in traffic for 2.5 hours longer than we had planned. :( But like I said, she was sooo gracious in offering up her personal time to do our photo shoot the next morning, and the pictures are amazing. Love how she captures the light in the photos, and she was great at putting all of us (me, husband, and our two boys - 7yo and 4.5yo) at ease. Would highly recommend her for families in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area or anyone passing through, but I would not recommend trying to book with her on a travel day. :D Give yourself extra, extra time to get through that LA traffic!

Not only is she a stellar photographer, but her warm and giving personality also extended to a sort of mentorship when I was becoming a photographer. I have always looked up to her ability to be calm, creative, and kind in fast paced environments. It's something I still struggle with in photography. As a person who is usually behind the camera, many of the photos I have of my children are without me in them. The ones I do have and love are almost all by Melissa. There aren't many people I can trust the way I trust her and I owe my family memories, and my career, all to her. She's the first person I check with when I have a referral and the first person I think of when I need anything personally. And she will always be. Can't imagine things any other way.

My husband and I also ride motorcycles so that is how we found 1904, but even if you do not ride, do not hesitate to hire Phillip. For our wedding he also paired with Belinda at Pinky's Pix and together they were the perfect team. My only regret was not hiring them for the full night. We had them arrive early so that we could take pictures before the wedding started so we did not have them for about the last 1.5 hours and I really wish we did.
