Reviews of Scott A. Nelson Photography

We absolutely loved having Scott Nelson as our photographer for our wedding. He was punctual, dressed professionally, and well-equipped with multiple cameras. He was incredibly considerate to make sure my bride was getting enough water as it was pretty hot while we were taking the majority of our photos. He's not afraid to lay on the ground or walk through some bushes to get to where he feels he'll get the best shot. I really cannot recommend him enough. If you need a fantastic photographer in Southern California you should stop cause you've found him.

I hired Scott based on a referral from my wedding planner for my wedding back in October 2015. Scott was very professional and a phenomenal photographer. He showed up on time and ready to work taking all kinds of photos before I even knew he was there. After looking at the photos I am so glad that I went with him because he was able to capture some really awesome photos!!! Overall the entire experience with Scott was great and I would recommend him to anyone!!!

Amazing! We are so lucky that we found Scott Nelson photography. We worked with Alex, for both our engagements and wedding photos. The photos from both are absolutely stunning. The staff was very professional and Scott was so helpful in planning the timeline of the photos to make sure we got every shot that we wanted. Scott is extremely responsive and the photos were ready in a very timely manner. I would highly highly recommend!

Scott was the photographer for a wedding I coordinated in July and to say he did an awesome job doesn't do his services any justice! Scott was not on time but early and was very conscious of time which is great because in a wedding if one thing is behind it throws all other planned activities off of schedule. Not only was he professional, on time and a pleasure to work with, the photo's were gorgeous, I'm very excited to work with Scott again and will recommend his services to my clients!

Scott did a wonderful job of capturing both the spirit and substance of our wedding. The photographs were well beyond our expectations and we were truly thrilled with the results. In addition to being a great photographer, Scott was very kind and generous with his efforts at the wedding. He has earned our highest recommendation and we encourage you to use him for your event.

Found this photographer through wedding wire and we wanted someone inexpensive and amazing at what they do. Nothing but great things to say about Scott A Nelson and Jared who was our photographer the night of the wedding. He was good and I can't wait to see the pictures.

Scott was recommended to us for the grand opening of Plaza de Magdalena. He exceeded our expectations on all levels and gave us so many beautiful photos to use. We are looking forward to working with Scott again in the future. ~The Sundried Tomato Team

Scott made the process of capturing our wedding smooth, efficient and affordable. From our first consultation, to capturing us as we drove away; he continued to surprise us with great quality of work. Scott and his team meet up with my fiance at the Marriott Villas in Newport Coast. Him and his assistant helped to calm my bride, and they both photographed the little moments while she was getting ready that were the essence of her experience.

The first look was arranged by Scott, and made into a dream come true, as they timed me turning around and the look on my face as I saw my stunning bride to be for the first time in her wedding dress. The weather turned south on us with some rain at the hotel photo shoot; but instead of turning it into a negative, they found us a great protected spot that made the photos priceless.

Scott and his team continued excellent service throughout the ceremony. After, when looking at the photos, I was amazed at the little details they captured without me being aware they were even there. We did a photo shoot on the beach after the ceremony and they made it fun and creative. Again during the reception, it was the little things they photographed that captured the magic of the night.

Scott was fast to deliver on the prints and we were blown away by the quality of work and so many great moments that we had no idea he captured. The pictures were clear, creative, detailed and beautiful.

If you are looking for the perfect photographer for your special day, then look no further. Scott A. Nelson Photography will meet your every need.

This review is way past due, but I wanted to share a bit of our experience with Scott.
Our wedding coordinator passed along Scott's name to us, and we are still thanking her for that!
My husband and I (FOB and MOB) met with Scott initially because our daughter lived out of state at the time. We were immediately impressed by Scott.. He had an easy, friendly manner. He was very interested in the bride and groom to be, the venue, and other details. As he had not previously shot at our venue, he said he would be anxious to see it and become familiar with it. That was great to hear because we had been told by some other photographers that seeing the venue beforehand was not necessary!
As we viewed his slide show, we were so impressed. Then came the albums. They were beautiful, creative, and so artistic. There were also some that displayed a great sense of humor as well.
We talked with our daughter and her fiancee, and they spoke with Scott and saw his work online... Done and done.
Every step of the way, Sc
