I took my maternity pictures at the grove along with my husband and FOUR dogs! Nicole did not flinch and captured several shots of the six of us posed and staring right at the camera. She offered lots of directions and made my husband and I feel totally comfortable in front of the camera. A few months later, we met Jessica for my daughter's 6-month photoshoot. The day before the shoot I provided Nicole with a few Pinterest ideas I liked, which Jessica was able to replicate in about 4/5 poses in a 10-minute window. It was the right amount of time before the little one got fussy. In both instances we received the pictures about a day (maybe two?) after the shoot and were thrilled with the results both times. I will say that their website is VERY THOROUGH. Most questions you can have will be answered there, it's just a lot of reading. If you require a little bit of hand holding (which is totally ok!) or are a bit indecisive then this studio may not be the right fit for you. I think it's a better fit for someone that has a good idea of what they want... It's also worth noting that I felt comfortable with their COVID precautions-- both photographers wore masks and they add buffers between sessions.

One of the best photographers. I highly recommend Rodrigo Varela as your wedding or engagement,…read morematernity photographer. He has a great sense of humour, he is honest and easy to work with.

Though I've never been particularly camera shy (shooting with Terribly Girly is one of my favorite…read morehobbies), I was singing a different tune back in November of 2009 when the realization hit that my wedding photos would be around for possibly longer than I would. My husband and I opted to do without a videographer, so pictures are all we have to remember our special (and quite expensive) day. Enter Rodrigo Varela - a man who's captured the likes of Jay-Z on film and regularly shoots events like the Latin Grammy Awards, but had no problem making my husband and I feel like celebrities with images to rival those in any upscale wedding mag. Recently, I had the pleasure of spending another day with Rodrigo, this time behind the scenes of my sister's "quince" photo shoot. Watching him work is inspiring as he shudders at the mundane and makes it a personal goal to never duplicate any shot he's previously produced - a challenge even for this experienced photographer considering the Biltmore is a common choice for brides and quinceañeras alike. I only saw a few images during the shoot, but the sneak peak he afforded me assures me he's triumphed yet again. I couldn't be happier and would recommend him to any bride or quinceanera without hesitation. The end result was absolutely beyond compare.

I could not be happier with my decision to hire Jose and Jess! One of the most important thing for…read moreus was to have a really great photographer, and so I did a lot of research into the photographers. From the first moment to the last, working with La Vie was an outstanding experience. -First, the actual reasons we hired them---the photos! I loved the style of the team from the get go. Jose and Jess capture the most important moments, but they also take candid shots that speak volumes about the day---more than any portrait could. The photos are also beautiful, in an artistic and journalistic style that I loved. Technically La Vie also knows what they are doing---after looking at countless photographers, La Vie were the only ones who captured even low light photos with grace. We got some gorgeous pics back and I am so happy with the result. -Second, professionalism - The team are true professionals. From the first to last moment, La Vie were super professional. I had a lot of questions throughout the process of hiring the photographer and Jose and Jess spent quite a bit of time answering my questions, always professionally and patiently. I also asked for certain things to be negotiated in the contract and Jose and Jess took all my requests seriously and respectfully. At the wedding they were on time and even stayed a little later as we had some problems that caused the wedding to be delayed. Everyone commented on what pros they were. -Third, fun attitude- This last one is less important. It wasn't on my list of requirements to work with a fun team. But Jose and Jess brand themselves as fun and creative---and they are. And it makes the whole process much more enjoyable. PS: So impressed was everyone with La Vie that my wedding planner put them on their list of preferred vendors after working with them on my wedding! Def recommend La Vie Studios for beautiful, artistic photos and a stress-free experience.

Carlos and the team take the time to get to know you as they truly pride themselves on their customer service. Setting the expectations from the first call, providing timelines, setting future dates, exploring photos and video options - they genuinely invest the time in YOU. By the end of the call, you feel relaxed because you know you're in great hands. I had asked Carlos to capture the moments rather than staging photos, best decision! Their attention to detail and knowledge are worth every penny. Trust me - they are incredible. We used Carlos for the photo and video :)

I don't believe the high reviews for Hazel Photographers of Miami (Hialeah), Florida to be…read moretrustworthy, and here is why: My husband and I got married September 2016 and just like any first time bride I was extremely nervous about choosing a photographer for a destination wedding. I spent countless hours sifting through the vast amount of photography companies available on the web. I came upon Hazel Photographers on The Knot and took interest in their portfolio. Unlike many photography companies I contacted on the website, Hazel Photographers was responsive, professional, and available for my date. What stood out most about Hazel Photographers was the interaction. The 1st interview was over the phone and it went well; the 2nd interview was in person at their place of business where we got a chance to review their work which my husband and I were impressed with. BEFORE the wedding: They were always available when we called Quickly processed our contract and payments They were very friendly, professional, and made us feel at home Their portfolio was amazing They were very organized and gave us an idea of what the wedding day flow would be like They gave us recommendations when and where needed They are expensive (keep that in mind) DURING the wedding They were on time, took their job seriously, and very enthusiastic They were very professional and gave very good instruction when it came to posing AFTER the wedding, their entire demeanor changed It was hard to get a hold of them when we called Within a month we were told our pictures were ready and a link was provided to obtain our pictures...BUT THERE WAS A CATCH: The pictures were for purchase only. Why would I repurchase something I already paid for? o After spending such a hefty amount of money, they tried to impose that we share the link with our guests in order for them to purchase the pictures they liked. That was unacceptable, so we never shared that link with our guests. o Under the impression that I was going to receive digital copies of our wedding photos, I contacted Hazel Photographers after a week of not receiving the digital copies to inquire on what the next steps were, because I'm sure I didn't just pay for watermarked pictures I had to repurchase online. That's when I was told that they're going to mail us the digital copies on a disk, but the watermarks will not be removed. I found it hard to believe they wanted me to walk around with watermarked pictures of my own wedding. That's very tacky and insulting, for it implies that I didn't pay for the pictures or that I stole them. After expressing my concerns, their resolution was to crop out the watermark from over 800 pictures ourselves (which meant sometimes cropping out the bride and groom) or purchase the copyright of each picture at $90/each. Who would settle for this? o After three weeks of going back and forth trying to get in touch with Hazel herself, they finally agreed to provide us with unmarked photos of our wedding. o Before the wedding I had planned to do my wedding album with them, but after how we were treated, we no longer want anything to do with them. I paid for their service and their job was to simply provide that service. Instead, they tried to take advantage of us by trying to bleed more money out of us and our guests. Their way of doing business is completely unethical and insulting. *****They were wrong for trying to sell our own wedding back to us. *****They were wrong for not stating in their contract that we will be receiving watermarked pictures for their business marketing purposes. *****They were wrong for breaching their contract by announcing our wedding and advertising our wedding pictures through many social mediums 2 days after our wedding using our names without obtaining our permission. *****Before the wedding they were very responsive, after the wedding they quickly became unresponsive *****We were watching them post our pictures on-line everywhere, marketing their business, yet we (the customer) had no pictures to show. *****We were a small and intimate wedding, my husband and I knew nothing about planning a wedding and worked hard planning it, we worked even harder to pay for the wedding with no financial help from anyone, and Hazel Photographers took advantage of that when they realized we didn't know much about weddings. No customer should be treated like this. That's why I don't believe the reviews for Hazel Photographers to be trustworthy on account of how we were treated. Planning a wedding is stressful, what bride would like to go through this after their wedding? I don't recommend Hazel Photographers for any wedding.

We didn't have a large budget for our wedding, as a matter of fact, we weren't able to afford video, but we definitely wanted great photos, so we chose Hazel Photographers. Our wedding album is incredibly beautiful, we get complimented on it very often (coffee table hard cover with large spreads). Hazel, Alex, and staff were patient and very professional. Not a thing was missed, and the photos clearly highlight the amazing time that we had.

When we got married, we did not invest in a quality photographer and that's a decision we totally…read moreregretted, so since then, we decided photography was going to be a priority. Once I got pregnant, I hired Angie for our maternity session and she totally exceeded all our expectations. She really puts in a lot of effort to get to know us prior to the shoot and make us feel right at home during. We've continued to book her time and time again as our family grows, for our Christmas photos, branding sessions, and every time our daughter hits a new milestone. We are currently planning a vow renewal for our anniversary in Yosemite National Park to get those breathtaking portraits we wish we had from our wedding and of course, we're bringing Angie with us, because we've seen her work as a wedding photographer and she just knocks it out of the park each and every time! If you're looking for someone who actually cares for you and captures your story as unique as it really is, you have found your person!

We are at…read morethe Faro Blanco resort ( Hilton curio) and they were very kind to accommodate us last minute and drive all the way out ( for a fee) for our maternity shoot. I was definitely a little nervous going into the shoot, not knowing what the expect and the weather was a little windy too. We were also not familiar with the resort yet to know what were some good photo ops etc. Jose and Cynthia made us feel at ease right from the get go - they were somewhat familiar with the area and were quickly able to scope out and arrange for great photos. Jose did a lot of work behind the lens while Cynthia sweetly directed us, while also taking some very specific stylized pictures. We did at least 5-6 different spots at the resort, with clear and easy direction from Cynthia. They continued to show us their work on camera as we went through the shoot, chatting and joking with us, making us feel at ease. Their composition skills for photos are excellent, with a keen eye on lighting, props etc. I obviously haven't seen the final product yet, but given our excellent experience with the couple, I would highly recommend them. What we saw of photos on their camera, I have no doubts the photos will turn out good. Their service definitely comes at a premium price, but I think it's totally worth it
