I found Karen and Ed on wedding wire, liked the reviews so I checked out their pictures. They were stunning! After emailing them and making sure they were in my budget, they were hired! They were so responsive to any and all emails. They were friendly and detail oriented. Come wedding day, they showed up early, and stayed to the very end (even though this was over their contracted time). During the wedding they were courteous but everywhere, snapping pictures right and left. The specific shots I wanted were obtained and there wasn't a snag in the day. Come 3 months later when the picture slide show arrived - were were over the moon of how they turned out! The next day, an online site with all our pictures was emailed to us, then the next day, a box with a USB with all our pictures.
The quality of the pictures is amazing. They have great techniques in lightening, positioning, and capturing moments that will be treasured forever.
I would STRONGLY recommend them to all my friends and family.

Karen and Ed were very professional and fun throughout the process. We selected them based on style and the fact we did not want any cheesy text book wedding shots. They delivered that and a great value. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for modern, professional and fun photos.

Our wedding was a destination wedding, so I was a bit nervous about who I was hiring in all aspects of my wedding. Karen and Ed confirmed for me very early on that I had made the correct decision for our wedding photographer!! They were very interested in getting to know my now husband and I. Prior to hiring them, I spent costless hours online and talking to multiple different photographers and looking at lots of pictures. Photography was one of the most important things for my wedding day. I LOVED their artistic ability and the way they work with lighting, it is displayed so brilliantly in their photographs. Karen and Ed were also quick at responding our emails and answering all our questions! They fully exceeded my expectations and went above and beyond what I was expecting from any wedding photographer. And then when my hair and makeup person backed out on me a couple weeks before our wedding day they recommended an AMAZING one and saved the day!!! They made my wedding day very stress-free and relaxed!! Thank you for making one of the happiest days of my life so wonderful!! I would recommend them over and over again!

Karen and Ed are an amazing couple to work with and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. They are true artists and takes photography to another level. Not only are they extremely professional, they have such easy going personalities that they just make you feel calm. They're extremely responsive but are not intrusive. They're very stress free people and loved loved their personalities. Of course, their work speaks for itself. We searched for various photographers and there are definitely diva photographers out there. You don't want to deal with additional stress of managing your vendors. I can't wait to see our final pictures and we feel extremely lucky to have found them!

Atrero Photography recently shot our engagement session and wedding day! When we first asked if they would be able to make a trip to Las Vegas, I had my fingers crossed knowing how far in advance they book AND if they would be willing to travel. I can't tell you how relieved and excited we were when they said "Yes!" All of our photos have been truly AMAZING and we always hear how much our friends and family love the work they see from Atrero Photography!

One important aspect you need when it comes to capturing all the emotions and memories that happen throughout your special day is a good wedding photographer. My wife and I had been looking for the perfect wedding photographer to do this for us and there was no doubt that ATRERO were the ones who came to mind! Ed and Karen have a great eye for lighting and are very creative when using the scenery around them. Our engagement session was in downtown San Diego and we had so much fun walking around shooting. We felt like America’s next top models shooting in alleyways, cargo entrances (with Ed’s best friend Eric lol), and at the Analog Bar. They make you feel comfortable and are very easy to work with. They treat you like family unlike other vendors who just treat you as their customer. We definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer and will work with them again!

One of the best wedding vendors I've had the pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them not only to my family and friends but for those looking for a wedding photographer. What can I say their work speaks for themselves!!! They produce nothing but spectacular and beautiful photos. The lighting is impeccable and their photos scream “creativity and style,” resulting in just amazing photos. To top it all off, Ed and Karen are very easy to work with. They get to know their clients and their personalities which show in the photos. Lastly, they genuinely care about the needs of their clients, which was a big bonus for us. If you want nothing but amazing photos, I highly recommend Atrero Photography to capture the happiest and most important day of your life.

You really can't get anyone more fun, creative, and professional than Ed and Karen. They are top notch. The pictures speak for themselves. My husband and I could not be happier! Our family and friends are so impressed and amazed with all of our pictures. The hubby has a bad reputation of ruining pictures and he looked quite dashing. =) Ed and Karen did a beautiful job at capturing all of the emotion, details, and everything in between. They are definitely worth the investment and then some!

They were awesome photographers! 5stars for their personalities and their talent! We are extremely happy for the stuff we got from them ;) the only thing we would say is that, we waited a little too long to receive the wedding photos (2.5months?), so our guests were kind of tired of talking about it when we showed them, but other than that, they were very organized about their pricelist, and were very good at being in touch. If you want to impress your people, and want to be the COOLEST, we'll definitely recommand Atrero Photography!

Ed and his wife are photography ninjas...need I say more? They shot beautiful pictures, and they stayed at our wedding two hours after we paid them to. They were super fun, and all of our guests loved them.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
