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!

She's obviously good at what she does but maybe a little shady. Buyer beware, I guess.

From the beginning to the day of, they made everything so easy. There was someone who was always available if either me or my couple had questions, for one. Scheduling meetings and engagement shoot was great. Joey's Jonathan was our photographer at the wedding, and he and his assistant were wonderful and fun. They were great with the guests, and great sticking to a pretty short timeline, with some helpful suggestions. I'd love to work with them again. - Liz Coopersmith Silver Charm Events

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

We initially chose Mike as our wedding photographer because of his editing style, which was very…read moreimportant to me, and his ability to capture candid moments naturally. We recently received our wedding photos, and words can't describe how happy we are with them! The shots, lighting, and editing are absolutely beautiful and captured the magic of our day. Our guests have also raved about how stunning the photos are, and how perfectly Mike captured our vibes. Many shared our sentiment of how great of a photographer he is. We also did our engagement session with Mike, and, as a couple who's a bit shy about posing, we let him know upfront that we might need some guidance. Mike was amazing at helping us relax and feel natural, which transitioned beautifully on the wedding day. His calm and friendly presence made it easy to just enjoy the moment and let him work his magic. On the wedding day, Mike was both professional and flexible. We had a list of must-have shots, which included a 21-person wedding party and family, and he worked efficiently to get each one while still capturing plenty of organic, candid moments. He was very realistic about timing, giving us guidance on what was achievable without ever making us feel rushed. Working with Mike was easy and enjoyable from start to finish. If you're looking for a photographer who will capture the authentic beauty of your day and create breathtaking images, we highly recommend Mike!

I should've followed my first instinct and gone somewhere else instead of being lazy and settling…read morefor this location. The only reason I'm giving one star is because the manager was kind enough to let me still make my appointment even though I was running late and they weren't busy. Now, as for the African American woman assisting with the photos (I didn't catch her name, unfortunately), the experience with her was absolutely terrible. When she asked if I had any coupons, I mentioned that I was sure I could find one on the website. She immediately told me it would take 24 hours to activate. While I was literally pulling it up, she then changed her story and said it was a different website she was referring to. It felt dismissive and unnecessarily rude. On top of that, she clearly lacks basic photography/customer service skills. She was just snapping pictures without giving any direction at all no adjustments, no help fixing poses, no guidance with my kids, nothing. I had to keep stopping the session myself to fix my children because she couldn't be bothered to say anything and just kept taking bad shots. What made it worse is that when it came time to choose photos, I truly feel like she intentionally selected the worst possible ones when I know there were much better options taken during the session. Overall, this was a frustrating, unprofessional, and disappointing experience. The rude attitude alone was enough to make sure I will never return. I absolutely would not recommend this location to anyone.

I'm looking forward to receiving the photos but the previews he already shared look incredible. These memories will last a lifetime and we look forward to working with Dipan to capture future milestones.

My husband and I worked with Dipan for our wedding, and he was fantastic to work with…read more He and Carissa were both there to help take photos of us getting ready at the hotel, getting married at the chapel, and then celebrating at the reception. They were punctual, efficient, professional, and just a wonderful team to cover everything at our wedding. It worked out really well because Dipan was with the groomsmen as they were getting ready while Carissa was with us (the bride + bridesmaids), so that even though we had less than an hour for getting ready shots, they managed to get everything we needed. We had gotten married at Wayfarers, and if anyone knows about that venue, it is that the chapel has a lot of rules/time limits. Dipan is one of their recommended vendors, so we were grateful that he knew the rules well and knew exactly when/where to take the pictures so that we wouldn't miss a thing. Dipan was also great in telling us how to pose since we asked for + needed a lot of direction. He also has a very calming presence so that we didn't feel stressed or nervous while posing. All the photos turned out AMAZING and we really could not recognize ourselves because the photos were just so good and beautiful. Dipan is truly wonderful to work with, and we would recommend him for any wedding or event!
