We booked Furious Photographers for our wedding in June 2019 for engagement photos, wedding day photos, and photo booth. We found him through a friend. Our wedding consisted of a garden ceremony, Chinese restaurant reception, and 320 guests. From the beginning, Doug has been friendly, professional, and so nice to work with. For the day of the wedding, Doug and Jason were superstars and were definitely the best vendors we had that day.

We are definitely booking him for all our future events and recommending them to everyone else.

We referred him to our friends and they just got married a few days ago (July 2019). They demonstrated the same professionalism and great work as for our wedding. This shows that they are consistently providing great service. You can tell they truly enjoy their job and they care about your big day.

Pros:
- punctual (he was on time for all our meetings and for the wedding)
- responsive (he responded to all our emails and contacts promptly and reasonably)
- experienced and knowledgeable (he was able to provide opinions and input for questions we had regarding photos, location, timeline, photo booth photos/props) he even knew how to put on a veil and helped me when my wedding planner was no where to be found
- flexible (we were able to easily find times that worked for all of us to meet up, they were always able to work with the environment to get good pictures such as our restaurant being crowded)
- works well with other vendors (they initiated/maintained interaction with other vendors and try to make sure everything went smoothly)
- puts great effort into getting good photos (he even climbed a few rocks for us to get an elevated shot)
- great attention to detail (he noticed when my husbands jacket wasn't buttoned, when the guest's purse was in the way, or when someone's hair was on the wrong side)
- good facilitator for events (he was able to efficiently guide people to where they were suppose to be for pictures, he was able to very efficiently and in a timely manner guide us to all of our 32 tables for table toast)
- both Doug and Jason were able to efficiently coordinate themselves to get different angles
- it is very reassuring that they backup their photos in multiple ways (different SD cards, on the computer, and online)
- we appreciate their creativity (they suggest ideas for pictures that we really liked such as running pictures)
- hardworking (was consistently around to take pictures of crucial moments)


Additional perks:
- always positive (e.g. reassuring words, positive attitude, and also some jokes to keep you going on your big day) the best when you are feeling tired or stressed
- always able to give us constructive opinions about where to/how to/when to take pictures
- friendly and fun to work with (puts you at ease as we try to take all these pictures with family, friends, etc)

Hiring Doug was one of the best investments we made for our wedding. From our initial email from January 2017 to our wedding on August 18, 2018, he has always been responsive through all forms of communication: email, text, and Facebook. My husband (then fiancé) and I met with several photographers before Doug, but we felt we did not have a natural connection with them. When we met Doug, he was very easy-going, nice, professional, and made us feel comfortable around him. We booked the Full Meal Deal Package and Photobooth. He was very straightforward with his pricing and allows permission to obtain prints from other places. For our engagement session, Doug was very accommodating and drove down to San Diego with his assistant Liana. They were extreme troopers for driving and shooting for a full 9 hours ensuring we got all the locations we wanted for the shoot such as our boxing gym, the Spruce Street Suspension bridge, Balboa Park, Sunset Cliffs, and Centennial Park (Coronado). Doug even climbed the Spruce Street Suspension Bridge to get some beautiful views from the top without any safety gear and also bribed an ice cream truck man so we could get shots in front of it. My biggest fear was that most of the locations we went to in San Diego are so heavily used in most engagement shoots that the photos would not be unique and would be typical. Doug was not too familiar with the San Diego sites since he is based in LA, but he delivered beautiful and unique shots that quickly squashed my fears. We got so many compliments from friends and family. They wanted us to make sure we also booked him for the wedding. On the wedding day, Doug and Jason hustled hard in shooting photos throughout the day, driving around LA to different locations (our venue, parents home, first look location, and DTLA) through traffic on one of the busiest days. They made the experience extremely stress-free. We can't wait to see the final photos from our day! Do yourself a favor and book them!

getting married? wanna take family pictures? wanna take pictures just for the heck of it?

i totally recommend furious photographers!! doug and jason are like batman and robin. they are totally the dynamic duo!

i was super nervous for our engagement shoot and didn't know what to expect. however doug and jason just made me feel at ease during the shoot. i have trouble smiling with teeth for the longest time in pictures. and doug would make me laugh so that he's able to capture those pictures that are most genuine. he's super patient and willing to do what it takes to capture those wonderful shots!

the funny thing is there was that anticipation of not knowing what the pictures will look like because as they tell you to stand somewhere or pose a certain way... often times i couldn't help but be like this is weird. but trust them! the pictures turn out amazingly! totally makes me feel bad for even second guessing their creativity. they are good at what they do. so just roll with it!
they will meet with you. doug would recommend you to speak to a few photographers first so you'll truly figure out what you like. they will show you their work. you can tell them what your wants and needs are and they'll customize a package that works for you.
they've been in the field for awhile now and they come with lots of tips even on the wedding day. my now hubby was missing a tie clip and doug let him borrow it all day. my wedding dress belt was too long and doug used his handy pocket knife and chopped it off for me. i wouldn't know what i would do without them!! where else can you find life savers like that?!? only here!
are you not from the LA or OC area? no problem! they're willing to travel! super easy to work with. very friendly and makes you feel very comfortable.

as i write this review, Doug has taken our engagement photos, wedding photos, 1 maternity photo, and family/second maternity photo. so as you can tell, we love their work!

Doug is the guy you are looking for if you want someone who has the professionalism, creativity, eye for detail, technical skills for your photos! Doug will provide ideas to meet your preferred style and do his best to pick the perfect angle to take the best photos (like lying on the soil, squatting at the edge of the cliff...). A cheerful personality as well! Worth checking out his portfolio on his website and dropping an email to him to check out his services!

I would recommend Furious Photographers (Doug & Jason) to anyone for any occasion.

We initially met Doug & Jason at our friends destination wedding in Sonoma, CA. They did both their engagement photoshoot in NYC as well as their wedding in Sonoma. The photos came out AMAZING!!!! We fell in love with their style and wanted them to shoot our wedding as well!!!!

Our wedding was also a destination wedding, held in Negril, Jamaica. To book both Doug and Jason we paid for their flights, hotel, food, baggage fees, transportation, etc, but not for their time or photoshoots. They both love to travel and they saw this as an opportunity to explore a new place. We are beyond thankful that they were able to photograph our wedding and not charge us a fortune.

I had a few occasions I needed them to shoot during their stay in Jamaica. They were present, extremely professional, and super friendly for the following events: welcome dinner/party, catamaran cruise, rehearsal dinner, the wedding, and a farewell brunch.

Needless to say, all of the photos came out stunning and I had to buy 25 photo frames for all the amazing photos they took and currently have no more wall space left in my house.

We loved having them at our wedding/events and hope they had blast in Jamaica!

You can not ask for better photographers. The pictures look amazing, of course. I love every single one of them and love how many of them I got! Quality and quantity!
Also, another thing I want to point out is that how great Doug is before, during and after the wedding. I mean, (being honest here) I am a control freak and I wanted to make sure everything goes well - meaning my way. Doug gave me a piece of mind before and during the wedding because he was very professional, reliable and always there! so you know he is not missing anything. Even when you forget, he already took a picture of it!
Because he has been in so many weddings, he is ready for anything. My dress was giving me some trouble before and during the wedding and all my girl friends were freaking out with me. Doug, who had his own supplies, helped me fix my dress while still taking great pictures. WHAT ELSE CAN YOU ASK FOR?
After the wedding, we received our pictures and I was able to share it with everyone! and EVERYONE loved it! All my parents' friends with kids around my age are asking me for the photographer's info!
At the end of the day, I am very happy about my experience and my wedding photos..
I have a huge respect for the art he creates and I highly recommend Furious Photographers to the future brides and grooms.

Furious photographers deserves 10 stars :)

Doug, Danny, Wilson, are Phoebe were there for both my engagement session and wedding. They are creative and easy going to make the long photography sessions fun and memorable. And of course, once you receive the pictures, you will know what I mean.

Thank you guys for the amazing service. We love you guys!

My husband and I are beyond thrilled with the work that Doug and Jason did on our wedding day! They were totally courteous and professional, but also had a lot of fun with the family, bridal party and guests. We got SO many comments from guests who adored them. Plus, we got our photos back amazingly fast, and they are truly perfect... I consider myself fairly un-photogenic, but I LOVE the photos they got! They are some kind of wonderful photo wizards :)

I also used Doug for engagement photos, which I was kind of hesitant about getting (because I don't like taking photos), but I'm forever grateful that I got them anyway, and that Doug was there to make us feel comfortable, fun and glam. So many shots from both days came out looking like a high-fashion shoot, while others captured adorable intimate moments.

Lastly, we also added on the Furious Photographers photo booth last-minute, and I'm so glad we did -- the guests all had a blast, and you get the digital files of each of those photos as well.

You seriously cannot go wrong with Furious -- I recommend them 100%!!

I never write reviews. But Doug and Jason did such a great job on our wedding day it's hard not to rave about their work. They exceeded all our expectations. Doug was extremely easy going and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera all day. Even our wedding party and guests commented on how great our photographer was - BEFORE they saw the photos!

We received our photos, both edited and unedited files, last week and as expected, they're amazing! These are photos we'll cherish forever and we're so glad to have hired them as our photographer.

Thank you Doug and Jason!

I used Doug for my engagement photos because I was attracted to his unique and quirky sense of style. As expected, he delivered the photos that met my expectations and more. I am pleased with the mixture of both "magazine/photojournalistic" AND soft, romantic style that I was able to receive from him.

Doug is extremely passionate about what he does and this is transparent through his work. I am so thankful for his efforts of making my fiance and me feel comfortable during our shoot (as we are both very awkward when it comes to taking pictures). He guided us to get more comfortable in front of the camera and the best part of it was, us three had a blast together! He felt more like a friend to us than a photographer that we just met.

Not only did the photos turn out great, but I loved how Doug wasn't calculative at all. He did not care one bit that we passed the contracted hours of our engagement session nor the number of different locations that I wanted to go to (I am a very greedy bride). His only concern was making his customers happy and satisfied.

In a nutshell, Doug is soo genuinely kind, professional, fun, and skilled at what he does!

Thank you for everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!
