Wu Photo - Maternity shoot - Session Photography Near Me

This is long overdue! From the very first meeting with Randi and Chris, you can tell how much they love what they do. They truly want to get to know you and support you. I hired Genesis Imagery for my wedding back In April. We were suppose to do an engagement photo session as well. I ending up having serious health issues shortly after getting engaged. We couldn't do our engagement photo session since I wasn't well enough. Randi and Chris checked in multiple times with me throughout the year to see how I was doing and if there was anything they could do to help. It was the sweetest thing. They really cared. I didn't meet them until I showed up at my wedding venue and the love and warmth was already there. I felt very comfortable immediately. I really wanted to conserve my energy for the reception and had a timeline to get all the photos done before the wedding so I could just relax and enjoy myself with my new husband. Randi and Chris made it happen and the photos came out so beautiful. I absolutely love them. They even remembered a very specific shot I wanted at night and made it happen. They are beyond professional, fun and loving. My husband absolutely loved them as he is more of the jokester type and could joke around with them and have fun. We aren't very comfortable I front of the camera. We needed lots of help staging and they were so great about it. I can't thank Randi and Chris enough for all the support and love through a difficult time and for taking such beautiful photos of our wedding day. I can't wait until I'm healthy enough to do a makeup session for our engagement photos!!! read more

Wu Photo - Session Photography Near Me

Where to start....i've known Chris and Randi for over 4 years now. We first met through yelp when I reached out for a fall photoshoot with my boyfriend and dogs. From the start they were so personable, communicative, and made both of us feel so comfortable. Also, their hourly rates were and still are very competitive! Many photographers will limit you to 'X' number of photos for 'X' rate, not the case with these guys. They will send you everything that turns out and edit them as well. Those photos from that initial shoot were simply amazing and I still cherish them to this day. We did this photoshoot early in our relationship and 4 years later they still bring me so much joy, I actually have a few hanging above my office desk as I type this. Since then we've worked with them on 3 more shoots, all of which were for our business: headshots, team photos, branding material + content. This most recent shoot (done earlier this week) we got even more detailed in our planning and zoomed in advance to verbalize all my ideas and visions for content creation. Both of them were so patient and had creative input throughout the planning process and day-of shoot. We just got the photos back today and they are a HUGE hit, everyone from our team is happy (again). What takes their photos to the next level is their ability to capture the warm, organic chemistry, which was so important for our work team. We work in investment financing and typically what comes to mind is men wearing monochrome suits, doing deals in a cut-throat environment. Our team wants to break away from that vision and be the type of lender who prioritizes building relationships with our clients -- Chris and Randi have helped us achieve that every. single. time. The happy end to this story is my boyfriend, and business partner of 5 years is now my fiance! And it should come as no surprise there's no one else i would even consider using for our engagement shoot than this team. Whether it's business, branding, couples, or a shoot for no reason look no further. You've found your people. read more

We were so happy with Chris and Randi for my daughter's wedding 8/21. The photos exceeded our expectations and we received them sooner than expected. We highly recommend them! read more

Wu Photo - Session Photography Near Me

Randi and Chris are the greatest. We hired them for both our engagement shoot and for our wedding day. My wife doesn't like to pose for pictures and they made us both feel very comfortable during our shoot. They helped our coordinator schedule the day of our wedding, made us come up with a list of people to take photos with (which we didn't even think of until they asked), and asked us what we would like them to shoot. During the day of our wedding, they did a great job of capturing everything we wanted and more. Randi was very in tuned with what my wife was feeling and overall both were very easy to work with. read more

I cannot recommend Randi and Chris enough!!! They are so absolutely amazing at what they do and are genuinely great people. I did my engagement and wedding through them and they make you feel so comfortable and truly know what they are doing. I trusted them fully during my wedding day and knew my photos would turn out perfectly. After having to postpone my wedding, they were so accommodating and I genuinely consider them good friends of mine now that we have known each other for over 2 years. Thank you for everything. I will cherish my photos forever and will forever recommend them to anyone and everyone. Also, will be using them for my future family portraits down the road :) read more

Randi and Chris are the absolute BEST! They did our maternity shoot and we couldn't be happier with how it all turned out! It was rare to have rain in San Diego, but they went above and beyond and made sure to still capture the beauty of all the photo spots in balboa park, from the moment we reached out to them they made me feel so comfortable and any question or concern I had they took care of! When we finally met in person, I had felt like I'd known them forever- they really made me feel beautiful and all of there suggestions for poses and spots were perfect! We really wish we would have had them do our engagement and wedding, but very thankful to have been referred to them for our maternity photos! You will not be disappointed with them, they are professional and very easy to work with! I would recommend them to anyone and everyone! read more

Hiring Chris and Randi is a no-brainer. Not only are they great people and produce awesome photos, they also so down to earth that they make you feel so comfortable during your photography session. I know a lot of us might not feel comfortable in front of a camera, but both Chris and Randi make it so you forget you're even in front of the camera and when you least expect it you're comfortable and it's all uphill from there. We hired them for engagement session and full wedding day and they accommodated our every request. Randi was pregnant at the time and rocking every moment of it. They were very responsible in brining in a third photographer for the wedding day in case Randi needed extra help, and Liberty was just as amazing. I don't know what I would've done without Liberty's help with my veil and dress that day.. simply the best. I tooootally recommend them to anyone. read more

Wu Photo - Engagement session - Session Photography Near Me

Randi and Chris are not only INCREDIBLE photographers, but they are AMAZING people too! Our wedding was just a few days ago on Friday, September 20th, 2019. We had our engagement photos a few months after we got engaged last summer and Randi and Chris had so many ideas. They executed our vision PERFECTLY. Our photos were perfect and they included our little fur-baby too. Obsessed. When it came to our wedding day, it was made perfect because of Randi and Chris. A few weeks prior to our big day, they gave us a sheet to fill out all about what photos we wanted. We toured our venue and planned out our photo spots. We went over the entire timeline so that we were all on the same page. They helped to gather everyone together on our wedding day (a task within itself) and made sure we got all of the shots we wanted. The way Randi and Chris edit the photos is incredible. I am a picky person and I don't have ANYTHING bad to say about it. It's perfect. We already have a few teasers and can't wait for our full album to come! If you are looking for incredible photographers, look no further than Genesis Imagery! read more

Randi and Chris are amazing!!! We just did our engagement shoot with them yesterday and it was nothing but fun. My fiancé and I were very nervous since we have never done anything like it before but they made us feel super comfortable. They helped us make each other laugh the whole time so the pictures felt natural and not stiff, which we definitely needed. By the end of the shoot, we felt very confident in the pictures and felt like we had also gained two new friends along the way! Only a few hours after we finished the shoot, Randi and Chris texted us some sneak previews, all of which we LOVED! They had already started on working on the pictures the same night! We are extremely grateful we found Genesis Imagery and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer! You will not only end up getting beautiful pictures for a great price, but you'll also end up with two new friends! read more

Randi and Chris are the best! We did a mini family session at Balboa Park and they gave us back the best captured moments! They were so easy to communicate with and their turnaround for editing was super quick. Our son was having a meltdown the whole time during our session but you could barely even tell from the pictures they sent us, That's definitely a win in my book :) I highly recommend them if you're looking for quality photos taken by the nicest people! read more

I contacted Randi for a couples photoshoot just for fun for my boyfriend and I. Her and her husband picked out a perfect spot that was convenient for us! We just got our images back (very quickly I might add) and I am just absolutely in love with them!! I'm such a huge fan of candid moments and they captured them perfectly. My boyfriend and I had such a great time shooting with them. They are so easy going and make the photo shoot easy and fun! They made us laugh and were great with posing and picking cute spots to shoot at. We will be using genesis imagery for our engagement photos and wedding when the day comes!!! I highly recommend them, you won't be disappointed, I could not have asked for better pictures! read more

Randi and Chris are the sweetest, most patient photographers I have ever worked with. I contacted them about a shoot with a large group ( 9 people ) over Christmas and they responded right away. They were highly organized and helped us select a location that would fit exactly what we were looking for. Before the shoot they helped us work thru the groupings of people and specific shots we were hoping to capture. This made our shoot go so smoothly! On the day of our shoot, Randi confirmed the location and meeting spot one more time. Our shoot with them went to smooth! They spent 2 hours with us and were so patient. What I loved about the shoot the most was that while Randi was capturing the posed shots, Chris was working his magic in the background getting all kinds of beautiful candids. The result was an amazing mix of photos! We received all our images in just a few days! They were able to capture our families unique personality and their work is gorgeous! I can't wait to use them again! read more

Randi and Chris are the absolute best! They are incredibly sweet, talented, and such a joy to work with. My fiance and I had our engagement shoot with them, and our photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined. Before the shoot, we were definitely a little nervous and thought it might be awkward, but Randi and Chris were so cool and nice that they put us right at ease. They made us feel super comfortable and we had so much fun! They worked together during the shoot to find the best lighting and locations, and provided direction on how to pose. We had our shoot on a Saturday, and received our photographs the very next day! They even sent us a sneak peak Saturday night, which is such an amazing turnaround, as some photographers make you wait weeks or even months. When we received our photos, to say we were blown away is an understatement! Randi and Chris captured the most beautiful photographs, and our family and friends have all commented on how amazing they turned out. Words cannot express how thankful we are to have found this amazing couple. Thank you Randi and Chris!!! read more

I can't say enough about how great working with both Randi and Chris was! I did a boudoir shoot with Randi for my husband before his deployment and the pictures are amazing.

A few weeks later we had an anniversary photo shoot done at the dunes on Coronado, my husband and I LOVE the photos and will cherish them during his time away this year. They are a great couple to work with and are both professional and fun. We definitely look forward to working with them again in the future! read more

Randi and Chris are amazing! Not only is their work clearly wonderful, but they are so loving and personable. My husband and I didn't realize going into our engagement shoot just how much the personalities of the people behind the camera actually mattered but after shooting with this amazing couple, it was clear to me just how much personality mattered! A session with them was easy (not forced) and fun! This couple excelled in not only providing a great product (our photos) but also in providing an overall fun and amazing experience.

Words can't even start to describe how happy we are that we chose Randi and Chris as our wedding photographers. We hired them for our small backyard wedding. After doing a bunch of research, we found they were one of the more reasonably priced photographers in the San Diego area. They made us feel comfortable every step of the way and even helped us plan what time our ceremony should be if we wanted the best lighting. We had contracted for just 2 hours, but they arrived early to plan out the best places at our venue to shoot and stayed late. Both of them had cameras and would shoot from different angles which gives you such a wide variety of pictures- it's truely like 2 photographers for the price of 1. My now husband and I had never done any sort of photo shoot, and they made us feel so confident and comfortable throughout the entire process. They best part was how quickly we were able to get our pictures back. They sent us some of our and their favorite photos that same night and all the rest of the pictures within 2 weeks. My friend who had just gotten married had to wait 2 months for hers. And of course most importantly, the pictures turned out amazing! Friends were commenting that they looked liked shots from a magazine. Highly recommend! read more

I genuinely cannot say enough about Genesis Imagery! Randi & Chris helped me out so much during many of my hard times wedding planning. I know Randi from middle/high school, but I know even if that wasn't the case, she would've made me feel just as comfortable around her. Randi & Chris went above & beyond the services they were hired for! Both Randi & Chris used their experience from their own wedding to help me plan out my timeline for the day of. Randi also provided wedding coordinating services that I cannot thank her enough for!

Randi and Chris of Genesis Imagery are incredible! I had initially sent them a message on Facebook in July inquiring about an engagement session. My fiancé and I are from New England but we were visiting for his work event in San Diego and then vacationing so I wanted to do something different and memorable. Randi responses to my message almost immediately and I knew I wanted to book with them. They were incredibly patient with my constant changing of location ideas and had their own amazing recommendations as well and sent us samples of where they've photographed. The night of our shoot couldn't have gone any better. Randi and Chris are so sweet and talented and obviously passionate about what they do. We were in a fairly busy area and they made it work flawlessly. They even ended up staying later since we were waiting for the right sunset lighting. Within a few days, they sent us our online gallery and we are beyond thrilled with the photos! I wish they lived on the east coast to photograph our wedding!! read more
