Amazing photographers

Alan was great, he did our engagement shoot. They came out amazing, he made it so easy, I'm not great at taking pictures but he made it fun. We had Richard shoot our wedding. He was also amazing. He worked with us on poses and made our day special and fun. I'm really excited to see the pictures, I'm sure they're amazing.

Allen and his team were a perfect fit for our wedding! He was very professional and easy to work with. They offered various packages and were very accommodating and met our needs without being pressured. For the day of Andrew was our main photographer and he was AMAZING. He had such a great personality and made us feel really comfortable the entire time. I highly recommend Allen and his team.

I cannot say enough good things about Simply Perfect Images. They did an amazing job on my engagement and wedding photos. I am so proud of my photos that I want to show them to EVERYONE! They are super easy and accommodating to work with and make it easy on the bride & groom. I simply adore Heidi & Alan as well as Arali. Almost makes me wish I could get married again, but I love my husband! :D

Before becoming a wedding officiant, I was a wedding planner for Simply Perfect Images. Simply Perfect is one of my favorite photography companies in Southern California! If should be, my husband is the owner and one of the photographers! Alan is an internationally award-winning photographer and the photographers that work with him are total professionals, responsible, amazing artists and lots of fun!!! They're so passionate about what they do! Love these people!!! As an officiant, it makes my day when I get to work with them. I always get these phenomenal photos for my portfolio and all of my couples just love their wedding photography!
