very professional and fun to work with

Cindy and George were flexible and helpful. They arrived early and made some great suggestions to change the flow and the backdrop of our casual small winery wedding. They took the lead in picking the spots for formal and casual portraits. Everyone looked great -- and the portraits of us, a "mature" second wedding couple, were very flattering. The posed shots had a lot of charm and the candids were fun. Pricing was reasonable -- we picked an a la carte afternoon rather than a full package. Recommend without hesitation!

Great pictures

We live in Germany but eloped in California. I only had contact with Cindy on WeddingWire before the big day so that was a bit stressful and it was hard for me to know what to expect. But when the day came, we met Cindy and George and they are very nice people, knew how to make the most of our 2 hour session but also without putting any pressure on us. We received a lot more pictures than expected and having most of them shot from two angles makes it hard not to find a lot of good pictures.
Thank you Cindy and George for helping us remember our special day forever!

Great to work with

McCullough photography was amazing to work with! I planned my wedding from out of state and Cindy was so easy to work with. She responded very quickly. We used them for both wedding photos and wedding video. SO happy we did the video as well. It turned out amazing! Both our engagement photos and wedding day photos were beyond beautiful. Day of the wedding the McCullough team showed up early and just blended in with our party and family. They were so much fun to work with! If you are looking for amazing photographers who are affordable and produce high quality products, hire the McCullough photographers!

McCullough Photography is the BEST husband and wife team! Meeting them in person they are friendly, professional, creative, fantastic photo packages, and for me are like family. The quality of the pictures are spot on and they were able to capture those special moments. Our family and friends who have seen the pictures are very impressed on their professionalism, how they worked with the kids to get the perfect pictures, and really showing a creativity. Yes, I would refer them to anyone for wedding, special events, or family photos. They provided our pictures in a timely manner. I would have like to use them for the videography package, however my husband had set up that serivces. McCullough Photography, I would totally use again and I can't thank them enough for capturing our special day.

Cindy and George (and their son Tary) were a fantastic team. I met them at a wedding show in the area and was so undecided on a photographer, this was the most important vendor I had to choose for our wedding and it was stressful to figure out who we liked best. We ultimately chose Cindy and George for a couple reasons: they were so open and friendly upon meeting them, and the price point was much better than other photographers we'd spoken to who were offering less in their packages. We were offered an engagement shoot with them for free which was an awesome opportunity to get to know their style and get great shots. Cindy was always quickly available to answer questions or iron out details. We planned the entire day via email, and everything went fantastic. I was already frazzled when they showed up at our venue but they took care of all the important photos and got a lot of other great shots that I never would've thought about. They took care of everything and I never had to worry about whether they were capturing this or that. They even got shots of events I never saw and pics of me with guests that I don't even remember speaking to at the wedding. I hardly even knew they were there, they blended in so well and still got everything and more than I could've hoped for. Tary shot video and my family was telling me later that he literally was shooting everything all day long, our final video turned out beautiful and was so special to us. Months after our wedding was over Cindy was still retouching certain photos I later found things I didn't like on them. Couldn't have asked for a more awesome, engaged team to work our wedding!

Cindy and George were everything we could have hoped for and more when it came to photographing our destination wedding in Carmel (we traveled from Florida.). Terrific communication was surpassed only by the quality of their photos. Loved how they captured all of the little details - often forgotten in the excitement of the big day. Thanks McCullough for our amazing photos!! You guys make a great team!!

Cindy and family were awesome. She made my day perfect. She took all the photos I really wanted. She even remembered the photo that made me choose them from a book I saw at a wedding expo. I haven't seen my photos or video yet but I am so excited and will update after I do! My day couldn't have turned out more perfect and i know my photos will too!

Cindy and George were amazing! They went above and beyond and we absolutely LOVED the photos. They not only got great posed shots, but great candid shots of all our guests. I worked with Cindy before the wedding, she was very easy to communicate with, and provided all the services and then some (staying past the 5 hours to take photos of the bouquet toss). The best part was having access to all our pictures - full resolution - one month after the wedding. Cindy and George were very professional and a pleasure to have at our wedding.

I met George and Cindy at a bridal expo as one of the many photographers at were there. They stood out to me compared to others due to their kind, friendly and laid back demeanor. We ended up scheduling our engagement photos with them and man were we blown away! We then knew we were going to have spectacular wedding photos for our BIG day. Having the perfect photos for such a memorable, important and special day that will last a lifetime is extremely important to any bride and her family. George and Cindy are always on time, professional yet friendly and know exactly where to place you to take the best photos. Not only have we used them for the engagement photos, wedding photos but also used them for our family photos last week with out now 3 month old son. They have been with us from the beginning. I'm so glad they have been with us to capture the biggest milestones in our lives.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
