She worked well with the entire wedding party, guests, etc. Her incredible professionalism matched with her very artistic eye was the perfect blend we absolutely needed. I honestly could not recommend Jillian any higher. She was a star and her results far exceeded what we could have even hoped for. She is just one of the best photographers I have ever met, and I've met a lot in my industry! Jillian Milam is a true professional in every sense of the word. She knows her artistic craft perfectly, knows how to both direct and also take direction. Her skills are perfect, and her her bright personality just made her an integral part of our wedding. She knew just what to shoot, and when, and everyone in attendance kept complimenting us on hiring her for the day. She went above and beyond and now we have memories to last forever, all thanks to her.

We paid him a $1000 deposit (out of $6500) for the wedding and also separately $700 for the engagement party. Unfortunately, to our surprise the engagement photos were of low quality. Some of the issues included our heads being cropped off in the pictures, not being centered in the photos, and other issues. We were disappointed in this poor quality work especially for the premium we were paying. We decided to use someone else for our wedding. We brought this to Samer's attention and he was very combative and defensive and unwilling to give even a portion of the deposit or engagement money back. This is very disappointing and unprofessional. I would not recommend his services to anyone.

The morning after someone gets married shouldn't be spent in tears, right? And I'm not talking…read morehappy, blissful tears, but sad, angry tears. Well, that's how I spent the morning after my wedding when my husband and I realized that our wedding photographer FORGOT....yes, FORGOT....to take photos of just he and I together. Wait...I take that back. She took 2 of "just" us: 1 of which lollipops were covering the lower half of each of our faces; the 2nd photograph we were kissing behind a giant lollipop (we had a Willy Wonka themed wedding). After about 2 hours of crying and sounding like a true sailor, I took a deep breath and decided I would not let this prevent us from getting the type of photographs we wanted. If I was able to coordinate my makeup artist, hair stylist, and florist for the same day, it would actually be BETTER. We got married at a friend's home, and although beautiful, there's only so much you can do in someone's back yard. Plus, we would have TIME to get the shots we wanted. A friend offered to be our photographer, and I was able to coordinate hair, makeup, and flowers for 3 weeks after the wedding. About 2 weeks prior to the re-shoot, I reached out to my friend to touch base and didn't hear back. I reached out again, and didn't hear back. I started freaking out because our re-shoot was fast approaching, and I had about a week and a half to find someone. And given our financial situation, because we hadn't planned on having to re-do the bouquet, hair, etc., I needed to find someone who was willing to work with us. I was scrolling through Facebook to ease my stress, when I stumbled upon an album of an aspiring model by Loud Love Photography in my newsfeed. The photos caught my eye. I loved the use of color and how the smallest edit changed the whole mood of the photograph. I checked out the website, and decided I really wanted to work with Sarah. I sent her an email explaining the situation, and heard back within that same morning. She was available, and was very understanding of our situation! We talked about what I wanted out of the shoot, and the vibe I was going for. She totally understood. She was very responsive, both via email and text, which I greatly appreciated. So often I've sent emails to people and have wondered if they've disappeared into an abyss....definitely not the case with Sarah. Her communications put me at ease and I was really looking forward to working with her. Our photo shoot was at Seaport Village, and Sarah was great to work with. She arrived before we did, and helped us carry our props to our first location. Sarah is super sweet and fun, and so accommodating. She wanted to ensure WE had the photos WE wanted, and was open to our suggestions for shots and offered her own as well (which we ended up loving). After the shoot, Sarah said she would send us a teaser but the actual photos, with edits, would take about 2 weeks. We were totally fine with that - I was just happy to work with her and have the opportunity to get the shots we were unable to get on our wedding day. So, expecting to receive the photos in 2 weeks, I couldn't believe it when she emailed me 3 days later letting me know they were ready! I was SOOOOO happy! When I looked at them, I was incredibly impressed. The photos were beautiful...the lighting, the angles...everything. I felt as though she truly captured "us" in the photographs. We're playful and pretty silly and goofy, and that's reflected in the photos. There are 2 photographs in particular which ended up unexpectedly being a couple of my favorite shots from the afternoon: 1 photograph was my husband and I playing around with lobster traps, and the second was the Coronado skyline as seen through the tulle of my dress. So simple, but I would have never thought of that, and I LOVE that picture! Although I still have a bit of steam escape from my ears when I think about our wedding photographer and her "forgetfulness," I can't help but see that as a blessing in disguise. We were able to take the time to get the types of shots we wanted with a wonderful photographer. My husband and I could not be happier with our photos. If you're looking for a photographer to capture those special moments in your life, or even the everyday, go with Sarah and Loud Love Photography. Professional, responsive, and creative...you can't go wrong! I can't wait to work with her again!

We got married in Maui and flew Richwell out as our photographer. Richwell had already shot my wife…read moreseveral times as a photographer for RX Smartgear. We knew Richwell is the man and his skills behind the lens are amazing. We had no idea he was going to save our entire wedding. We flew from Madrid, Spain to San Francisco and were home for less than 8 hours before taking off again for our wedding. We landed a few days prior to the scheduled ceremony. WE WERE WRECKED. Our body clocks were all out of whack. We had planned an impromptu wedding on our favorite beach with a small group of about 30 family and friends in attendance. With all destination weddings, the stuff leading up to the big day can be a little overwhelming. Family arriving. People pulling you in all directions. Checking on catering, music, etc. Two days on the island of relaxation and my wife was STRESSED OUT! She literally told Richwell she wanted to skip the ceremony and do just the dinner (we had gotten married at the courthouse several months prior). She was done with it. In comes Richwell to the rescue. Richwell got the phone numbers of everyone attending. He coordinated the time for them to be there. He arranged where everyone was to stand and basically set us up on the beach in the perfect location for his photographs. Our wedding turned out AMAZING. To this day we have people telling us it was the best wedding they ever attended. And let's not forget the photographs!!! SO GOOD! Richwell did a cool drone video of the beach. He shot the entire wedding and took group shots. We changed into swimwear and he did a beach shoot with us. He also took pictures at the dinner. Stunning work! Thank you Richwell!!! You made our wedding day amazing and unforgettable.

We've been to a ton of weddings, and we've seen some dynamite wedding albums in our lifetime, but Richwell's work is "Hall Of Fame" material. This guy and his crew should be doing this stuff for Hollywood and the 1 percenters of the world. He is All-Star material! We just attended a wedding for close friends of ours this past weekend (7/24/21), and the pre-production photos I saw and his video montage he created was unbelievable! Richwell's incredible shots seemed magically captured, his enthusiasm was non-stop, and his humbleness was immediately evident upon meeting him. Lastly, when you speak to him, you discover he's not just an awesome photographer, but an even greater guy! Not only that, his team is just as great as he was. We can't speak to his fees, but we can definitely vouch for his work, which is a work of art in and of itself! Do you want the best? If so, book an appointment to see what Richwell can do for your upcoming special event. All we can say is your event will not be captured any better than the work this guy can do for you. You can tell when someone's good, but you can also tell when someone's over-the-top outstanding, and extremely passionate about the work they do. Richwell received a standing ovation after all the guests saw his video montage during the wedding reception!

Linh is the sweetest individual that goes the extra mile to make sure her clients are happy and get…read morethe photos they want. You can tell that she really loves her work and enjoys what she does! From the beginning, Linh was responsive and communicated with enthusiasm. And she was very quick to answer all of my questions. We did a family session for our holiday photos. Being a preschool teacher, she knew how to get our little ones comfortable in front of the camera. And made my husband and I feel comfortable as well. We were able to take a lot of shots with beautiful scenery during golden hour when the sun light hit just right. Our photos were delivered so quickly and we love how they turned out!

**If you are thinking of booking JLinh Photography, READ ME RIGHT NOW**…read more I've had the opportunity to shoot with Linh twice. Once in the beginning of her career and more recently in June 2020. The one thing that has remained consistent is her positive energy. Her spirit is unmatched. First time taking photos? SHE WILL MAKE YOU COMFORTABLE. Is this for a special occasion? This EXPERIENCE will be memorable. Worried about your crazy kids cooperating? She's a mom herself so she understands that attention and timing is crucial. We did a family photoshoot experience with me and my son. I say experience because that's what it was, AN EXPERIENCE. She came timely (+1) with her camera and step stool (+1 WE GOT TO GET ALL THE ANGLES, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN' ), music speaker in hand (+1 good family friendly song choices) and we went into it. Not only did she catch golden hour but she made the grass area of my condos look like we were coming out of a dream (+1). WE HAD FUN. My son had fun and boy, how grateful am I to have these photos. I didn't feel awkward or uptight. We laughed A LOT and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing my son fake laugh which turned into real laughs with me (+1) When we received our photos, they came as a slideshow with music and I f*cking cried. When I say I cried, I mean I Kim K cried. To have such beautiful moments captured of me and my son are something I'll be excited to share with my loved ones. Not only was it sentimental to have photos with my baby boy, the location was significant as well. This was taken at my son's childhood home which we are in the processing of moving from. These are all factors that Linh thought about. This is the difference maker with JLinh Photography! I've watched her IG stories that shared different workshops she's taken and what I really love is that Linh invests in herself and IT'S GROWTH YOU CAN SEE. From our first shoot to what she produces now, it is definitely worth the $$$. You can pay someone who mass filters or you can pay someone who works on your photos individually and takes pride in their work ‍ I have always been a huge supporter of local businesses, but hiring Linh will not only support your community, but you're also supporting a POC, woman and mother. Thanks for doing what you do best. Can't wait for our next shoot!

He filmed our wedding about 9 months ago, and every time we watch our video, it's like we're transported back to that perfect day. From start to finish, Tareq was the epitome of professionalism. He scouted out the BEST spots for our first look and romance portraits, ensuring every shot was breathtaking. He knows how to make the most of every location and lighting opportunity. What truly stood out was how seamless and unobtrusive he was throughout the day--like a ninja with a camera! We hardly noticed him filming, which made everything feel so natural and authentic. He captured every candid moment, every laugh, and every happy tear with such care and creativity. If you're looking for someone who goes above and beyond to ensure your memories are preserved beautifully, look no further than Tareq at Timecode Media. We are so grateful for his talent and would recommend him a thousand times over!

I really like that Brooke offers mini sessions for people, because whether you're taking family photos, grad pics, or professional shots--you don't always need a long photo shoot. She offers different locations around San Diego on different days for these mini sessions. We got really beautiful beach pictures in just under 30 minutes. It was the perfect amount of time to try to wrangle an 18-month old. For our wedding, we needed a long amount of time (which she does). But for family photos, the mini session was absolutely perfect. Brooke is upbeat, communicative, and positive. She loves what she does, and that is obvious in her wonderful work.
