Made Our Special Day Magical

From start to finish, our experience with Concept One Photography was absolutely amazing. The initial details meeting was clear and easy to follow, which made planning stress-free. We had Bryon as our main photographer, and from the moment we met him at our engagement shoot, we knew we had made the right choice. He made us feel comfortable and confident, and the photos turned out beautifully.

Frank was also wonderful to work with — always responsive to emails and incredibly talented. His candid shots from both our engagement and wedding captured so many natural, heartfelt moments, and were exactly what we hoped for from a second photographer.

We chose "The Deluxe One" package for our wedding, which included videography and a Photo Booth. Victor and his assistant Issa handled all the video work, and they did a phenomenal job! They were professional, fun to work with, and truly captured the magic of our day. The photo booth was a huge hit with our guests — the props were fun and there was never a moment it wasn’t being used.

Concept One Photography comes highly recommended — we couldn’t be happier with the results and will definitely be using them again for future photography needs!

Perfect Touch!

Frank was awesome! We booked a Photo Booth within a month of our event & he answered all of my questions and was a big hit the day of. All of our guest loved taking silly picture in the enclosed Photo Booth and we loved seeing the photo book that everyone signed afterwards. It made the event extra fun!

Awesome wedding day with Concept One

Concept One Wedding Photography was the absolute best choice for my wedding! Frank and his team: Bryon (photo) Jay and Felix (video) were such an awesome team to work with. Their price point is reasonable, and everyone was extremely professional capturing special moments of me, my husband and our guests. They helped to make our day a memorable one! If you are looking to hire an outstanding high-quality photographer and videographer services, I highly recommend using Concept One!

Perfect for your perfect day!

Everything was perfect from Concept One. Our photographer Joe was amazing. He had so many fun and interesting ideas to photos, and not only catered to us, but also to both of our families for photos. We got the package that also included a photo booth. The Photo Booth operator, also named Joe, encouraged everyone to have fun and use the props for some funny pictures. The price is great for those on a budget as well, we got a lot for what we paid. Overall 10 out of 10!

Phenomenal photo booth

Joe and Julia did the Photo Booth at our daughter’s wedding! They were phenomenal! The guests had a great time with the Photo Booth. We received copies of all the photo strips with congratulations from the guests written on each page for our daughter and son-in-law to keep! Concept One did the Photo Booth for our son’s wedding four years ago and were a must-have for our daughter’s earlier this month. We definitely recommend Concept One!

Perfect and Fun Experience!

AMAZING!!!! My fiancé and I just had our engagement photoshoot yesterday with Victor and he was FANTASTIC. He is so personal and cares about every single detail to make the picture perfect!

I can't even begin to describe to you how amazing this company is. Five stars isn't enough of a rating for them!! Our engagement shoot was with Victor, he was so accommodating and personable! We loved shooting with him and our photos turned out so amazing!!! We LOVE them!!! On our wedding day we had Joe and his wife Renatta as our photographers and they we absolutely incredible! Joe ended up brining his wife along free of charge because she had a weekend off. They took the BEST shots and our photos turned out so amazing! They were both so fun and my whole family loved them! They made the family photos and everything so effortless and stress free! Our Videographer was Matt and he was also amazing! His talents allow us to relive our wedding day whenever we want to. He was so accommodating and always there to capture all of our special moments. Lastly, our photo booth attendant Luke was truly awesome!! He had all our guests take the best and most fun photos! He was so engaging and even made us a take home book with everyones photo booth photos and had them sign it for us! This company has exceeded our expectations and we would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone in the market for photography! They truly go above and beyond and we couldn't be happier!! Thank you Concept One for making our special day so memorable!!
