We definitely plan to work with him again in the future!

We worked with Daniel for our first professional photo shoot to celebrate our 25th wedding…read moreanniversary. He was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Booking and payment were super easy online, and communication was excellent the whole way through. We told him we got married 25 years ago on a beach somewhere on the Nevada side of South Lake Tahoe (the exact spot is still a mystery!), and when he suggested Zephyr Cove Resort Beach, we knew he was our guy. I'll admit I was more nervous than my husband, but Daniel immediately made us feel comfortable. He's easy to talk to, fun, and knows exactly how to guide you through natural poses without anything feeling fake. We were laughing (actual laughing tears!) the entire time. We had the best time. We just got our proofs back, and I am beyond thrilled. His work is beautiful!! We started at 5pm and he got all the best of the area! Unreal!! You 'd never even know it was one of the windiest days ever! I can't wait to see the full gallery. If you're in the South Lake Tahoe area and need a photographer who's talented, personable, and genuinely cares about your experience, Daniel is the one.

I hired Amber as a recommendation from my amazing wedding planner/coordinator, so expected her to…read morebe just as awesome or better. Weddings are expensive and an investment, so I expect to get a good return on it. At the beginning for our engagement pics all was cool and I feeling confident about using her services. My wedding was kinda still during the height of covid, but everything seemed to be going well until the week of my wedding when I rec'd a text from her that she was not going to be able to shoot at my wedding bc she wasn't feeling well. I obviously was upset bc my contract was with her, but I had to be understanding of the situation too. What I didn't like was I had to trust a colleague of hers (Heather) who I had never met and didn't meet until my wedding day to take the best pictures possible. She did mediocre, and didn't capture very many couples pics nor family pics. (So glad I had relatives and friends who brought cameras. Most took better pics than the paid photographer, but I didn't pay them, I paid Kindred Souls for quality pics). She kinda rushed through our main pics and all the outdoor pics are hideous. Amber stated though she couldn't shoot my wedding, she'd do the editing, but she was sooo hard to get a hold of regarding status of my prints and just communication PERIOD! My wedding was in September and I didn't get my photos till mid December. I'd say I'm patient, but 4 months is ridiculous. When I sent my favorites back to her for editing I advised her they were not the clearest they could be and were too dark and to reedit. Here we are at the end of February and I still haven't heard back from Amber. Truly UNprofessional, poor customer service and a bad look on this business. They don't have to worry about me referring ANYONE to them! A waste of almost $1800, sigh.

Summary: Great experience, family friendly, accommodating, funny, high quality, will use again…read more Shoot photos can be seen here: http://www.daniellehankinson.com/edgelake-family-reunion-photos.html Our extended family has spent a week each summer at Kings Beach since 1986. It took us 26 years to realize our own attempts at family photos didn't capture the experiences the way we wished they did. My wife and I decided to get a professional pictures taken this year. We came across Danielle's website and were attracted to her work with large families as well as being a local to the kings beach area. As soon as we met Danielle, we knew it was going to be a good fit. Her humor was very similar to ours, and she knew how to apply the right amount mixed with direction to keep the process flowing. Our family covered 4 generations, with ages ranging from 84 to 18months. She was able to limit the impact and movement to the older folks while providing a treasure chest of little toys to entice the little ones. The pictures were painless, even with a group 20+ pale, squinty eyed people! After the shoot, approx 4 hrs later, Danielle returned with a projector, screen and ipad to review the photos and let us make our choices. It was so fun to sit around with the family and see the final product. This was a no pressure consultation and there was no upselling. We chose to go with a digital package allowing, us to share with the large family. We had to promise to get them printed (anywhere) eventually so they could be enjoyed and looked at every day. We continuously get complements on our photos. We also get some disbelief thinking that pictures that good can't be real. "There's no way that background is real", "That's not REALLY at Tahoe, is it?" I can't say enough good things about Danielle. She was a perfect fit for our family and I highly recommend her. As our kids grow (3 and 1.5 now) we'll definitely use her in the future.

I am so excited to introduce AW Photography to the public and fellow Yelp elite family and friends…read more Now they are not a new business they've been around for a minute and when you first meet them they have got to be the cutest couple in the world. Alex and Wendy have got two completely different personalities she is from England so it is just hilarious to interact with her because of the different cultures. They know how to bounce ideas off of each other to make the pictures perfect. When I got my photography session I was so very nervous but they have a way of just putting you at ease that within a few minutes you are just having a ball! They do not force you into poses that are not natural which is a huge bonus in my opinion and they learn how to get the best end results even if it's kind of unconventional. For example me I apparently would do a little duck face not realizing it and then I would giggle or I would smile that is the picture that Alex wanted to capture and I had no clue until I saw the pictures in the end and was just amazed. I would highly highly recommend them for any type of event, Christmas cards, whatever you are looking for at least go meet them and I do know that there is one negative review on here but take my word for it say they are a five star company.

He is professional, incredibly friendly and down-to-earth. Most importantly, he really knew our venue, from how the sunlight would hit the mountain at different times of day to the best way to avoid the wind. On the day of the wedding, Jeramie really showed his creativity. He took some super-fun shots of both sides of the bridal party, from the guys playing poker to the gals on the ski lift. He kept our energy up all day and made the whole experience fun and happy. Jeramie seems to know all of the vendors in town, too. He coordinated with our florist and baker and even followed up with our baker after she left when we had a question. Unsurpassed venue knowledge, a keen eye for great shots, and a personality that kept us laughing even when we were tired - Jeramie has it all. We can't recommend him enough!
