Picture Perfect!

We were SO happy with Koby and his team on our special day!! He was more than what we could've asked for when it came to capturing special moments between us! I asked him the week of to make sure I got photos of my groom and I by ourselves and during the night, he would make sure grab us for a few seconds and would find the best places for us to snap a few amazing photos. Koby was so nice and welcoming from the very beginning and made us feel so comfortable! We can't thank him enough for everything!

The Most Stunning Wedding Photos!!!

I knew we had to have Koby shoot our wedding the minute we ended our phone conversation. Not only does his work speak for itself, but he’s a true and genuine professional, who has an eye for every detail. Koby captured every moment and emotion in our day, and when I look back at our wedding photos not only am I impressed by his beautiful work, but I’m overwhelmed with all the feels…all over again. His energy and direction comforted us, and truly made our day even more memorable than we ever imagined. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer - you can choose Koby with your eyes closed. His work is a dream, and he’s a dream vendor for any Bride.

My wedding was this past weekend and I have been waiting to write them a review since WeddingWire only allows me to write one after wedding day. I am 100% absolutely satisfied with Koby and Terilyn Brown at Archetype Studio. If you read their love story on their website, I think that should give you enough assurance they will capture a beautiful wedding day story through their photographs.

Besides wedding day pictures, I also worked with them on engagement pictures, bridal portrait in Hawaii and their artistic collection of what is usually called Boudior pictures. They are so easy to work with and ever so accommodating. Very professional yet uber personal. Terilyn has helped me with suggestions on other aspects of wedding besides photography. She is very responsive on communication and extremely detailed.

In terms of their work, I can tell you that they only provide superior product and really go above and beyond to give you the best quality. This is coming from a girl who really likes fancy things but also like to get the best bang for her bucks!

There are definitely more advertised photographers in the wedding industry but Archetype provides a boutique kind service that is tailored to your needs and vision. Their work and service is much more unique and refined. Sometimes I just like to look at their pictures and am totally amazed with all of them and just stare at them for awhile.

On wedding day, their professionalism and creativity have received wide appraises from my guests and several asked for their contact information for their upcoming weddings.

All I have to say is, I am definitely going to Archetype in the future for maternity pictures, family portraits, anniversary pictures and many more!!!

Wow! Terilyn and Koby were amazing! As soon as I met them, I knew we had to book them. Archetype was the first vendor we booked even before we had a definite wedding date. They were wonderful to work with every step of the way. I first came across their J'Adore photography on Style Me Pretty and was so excited to find a style of boudoir photography that didn't seem objectifying, but actually captured the beauty of femininity. We loved our engagement photos and got SO many compliments. We had a blast taking them, truly one of the best memories of our engagement! Terilyn was always responsive to any questions I had and they were both such professionals! On our wedding day, they blended in and were quick with all of our group photos. Highly recommended!!

Archetype creates the most beautiful images! We have worked with them five times and couldn't think of using anyone else. Their ability to create in the moment images is unmatched. You won't find another photorapher who will invest themselves as emotionally and professionaly in your big day and who is more in love with love (their motto)!

If I could give them a higher rating, I would. Terilyn and Koby were the first photographers that my husband and I met with and it was an instant connection. Before I had even confirmed a venue and within a week of being engaged, I had them booked! Their work is AMAZING and they are both so sweet that you get photographers but also friends by using them. The best part of Terilyn and Koby's work is that they somehow capture the essence of the clients in the photographs - it isn't just my husband and I posed in cut and paste wedding scenes. I cannot thank them enough for the beautiful work they did for my engagement and bridal sessions and for my whole wedding. I feel very lucky to have found them and give them the highest rating possible!

Koby and Terilyn made our day the success that it was, truly. They were so supportive throughout the whole process. They are so artistic and it is very evident that they know what they are doing. They helped our day run smoothly and were everywhere during the reception, constantly capturing even the smallest of moments. They stayed out of the way yet if one of us needed them, we could find them immediately. So responsive and so sweet. They were by far our best choice of vendor. They also were very flexible with our budget and were so accommodating. They really helped make our day all about us. I cannot say enough good things about them. I've only seen one sample pic from our wedding but it blew me away. They can capture anything and everything beautifully. Pictures are one of the few things you really get to take with you from the wedding and I am so happy we went with this couple because I know they are going to be perfect. Highly recommend this amazing couple!

Absolutely wonderful to work with, extremely professional, fun, and their final product is exceptional...above any and all expectations. They got our pictures back to us quickly. Engagement shoot was unique and they give you lots of good tips on posing so it's not awkward and the photos will look great. They include a guestbook in the package with engagement pictures from the shoot...it's GORGEOUS. Also very time efficient in getting pictures done before and after the wedding, which I was so glad for.

Worth every penny and more!

I hired Archetype Studio, Inc. for a bridal boudoir shoot in August 2012 after finding them on Style Me Pretty. They created a custom vision for my photoshoot, hand selected gorgeous pieces of lingerie, and chose the perfect venue for my Old Hollywood styled shoot. I felt like a complete celebrity the entire day - an incredible hair and makeup stylist was on hand all day to make me feel absolutely beautiful, and Terilyn and Koby gave me specific instructions all day to captre the most incredible pictures. And I never once felt uncomfortable, they put me at complete ease from beginning to end. I just received my album mock-up and was completely blown away. I cannot wait to receive the final album and gift it to my husband to be on our wedding day. I know he will be truly shocked with such a unique and personal gift. I can also say that this has been a gift to myself - I love the pictures and will be so happy to look back on them after many decades. I've even shown my mother and future mother and law and they were in awe of the pictures. I can't wait to hire Archetype again. I would recommend this team to ANYONE!
