We had Blake take our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos! Really happy we decided to do engagement pictures with him first- we felt so much more comfortable with him afterwards since neither of us really love being in front of a camera. Really happy with how our photos turned out! Highly Recommended. :)

We could not have been happier working with James from SLOtography. We had him do both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. We were looking for very different things with both sessions, and he delivered way above our expectations for both. These were some of the most important moments in our lives and I don’t think anyone else could have captured them better. Beyond being an incredibly talented photographer — he has a lot of fun playing around with some more experimental techniques and his outdoor shots are stunning — he might be the nicest guy we’ve ever met. During our wedding he had a huge smile the entire time that was clearly infectious as it caused all of our guests to be smiling for photos as well. James was super flexible and ended up staying a little longer than we had originally planned in order to capture some photographs a little later in the night that he was really excited about. You should definitely work with James Lester and SLOtography.

We set up a family photo session with Blake for my son's 2 year Birthday. I loved his portfolio and knew immediately he should be the one to shoot this special occasion. I told him I had pinned some ideas on pinterest and he told me to email him to add him to the board so he could view them...what a great idea!

From the beginning he was easy to work with - the date and times were flexible and he emailed us back right away. We sent in a $100 deposit (check or paypal) and we were set. He emailed us to confirm on the day of the shoot.

He directed us appropriately throughout the shoot which is a big factor for me. Sometimes you feel awkward when you're having your photo taken and you're not sure if you are looking like a blob or posing in a flattering manner. To me, you want a lot of direction from the photographer as to what looks best.

Although many of the ideas I had on pinterest did not get shot, the pictures were incredible and I'll be calling Blake back for our next photo session!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
