    Fantastic Experience

    Tony & Maria were both amazing to work with and did a fantastic job and are extremely nice people. The photos turned out incredibly and it was just a pleasure working with them. Suggested amazing spots for the engagement and the ceremony photo shoot and did a fantastic job of communicating throughout! Highly recommend them!

    I was literally having a hard time finding someone in my budget range to do my wedding photos, that’s when I saw black rider studios on a couple of my friends social media page. So I messaged them, and that was the BEST decision I ever made, they do so amazing! The whole time we just had fun, they are very professional and the way tony took photos wasn’t like any other, he made them his own, I watched as he switched from different lenses to get the right color and angle. I live in the eastern sierras and I have gotten NUMEROUS compliments on how well they captured our beautiful mountains in our wedding photos! I’d highly recommend these people to anyone! They are going to be my go to photographers for anything now on! Thanks again guys!

    Black Rider Studios Photography gave my husband and I such an AMAZING experience. Tony and Maria's down-to-earth, serene, and friendly personality made the session go by so quick! Their awareness of the architectural background within the facility ( Mission Inn Historical Hotel) made the end result absolutely gratifying! Thanks Black Rider Studios

    They are really professional and make you feel every shot is something special for you. They make very good suggestions as to locations for shoots and make you look photogenic even though most of us may not be :-) The wedding day pictures made the day even more enjoyable because both the groom and the bride had there own photographer to capture every special moment, from the make up and hair to the arrival at the ceremony hall and all throughout the reception. The team really made us feel comfortable and special. We appreciate everything they did for us, we are thinking of having them do our anniversary pictures this year.

    Working with Tony and Maria was amazing. I personally hated taking pictures but after shooting with them, I never want it to end. The pictures were beyond beautiful. They captured every moment so beautifully. The first time we did our engagement shoot, my fiance and I got to the location very late so we only had about 30min to shoot with sunlight. They offered to meet up another day to shoot at no extra charge. That is how you know that it's not all about the money, but they truly have a passion for it. I will definitely be reaching out to them for any other type of shoot my husband and I decide to do in the future. Black Rider Studios was the best decision we made.

    My husband and I found Black rider studios to be very flexible. Tony and Maria were amazing during the photo shoot! When it came to scheduling everything, they were able to accommodate our needs. The imagination they have to give you the perfect pictures is astonishing! They were both very enjoyable to work with. Lastly, the pictures came out amazing! Great professionalism overall! I definitely recommend them! Thank you Tony and Maria!! -Jenny and Andy Ortega

    Maria and Tony from Black Rider Studios did both our engagement and wedding photos. I absolutely loved that they took the time to know my Husband and I as a couple and they worked with us and develop the theme and mood of the photoshoot we wanted. They made us feel very comfortable during the shoots which helped us relax and have fun during the shoots. I can't wait to work with them again.

    This is long overdue.

    When my wife and I first started interviewing photographs Black Rider Studios was one of the first. We were unsure but there was something about them that I felt they were the ones for us. It was the right choice, they not only were imaginative and professionals but they are creative and artistic. They were willing not only willing to find us a great location for our shoot but also willing to select it after the original site (that I also really liked) was making use a little uncomfortable because we felt it was a bit to far. Turns out they were right on, it would have been just right. They not only took photos and videos, they help make our special day amazing. I would and do recommend them for any special event you may have. I plan on using them for my next one, when ever that my be.

    Thank you Black Rider Studios, thank you

    From the beginning of this year they were one of the few photography companies I looked at I really liked them the best. I've seen so many people with their photography businesses and many photos threw different websites and thought most were ok but we weren't drawn to any other photographer. We met them threw my Husband's Stepmother and sister. There is just something with Black Rider Studios style that drew us to them and their great personality. They have done such a wonderful job on my husband's sister's photo sessions and that her pictures turn out beautiful every time. They are very reasonable and flexible with letting us make payments for our deposit, engagement and wedding sessions. They are so much fun to work with and to be around , very professional and we were comfortable around them. Our Engagement photos turned out great and the location was beautiful. Our Wedding day turned out wonderful and beautiful the 2 locations were so much fun to take pictures at. Yes there were some set backs to be expected what wedding doesn't have set backs and the black rider crew were so understanding, patient and so kind. Everyone of our wedding party was behind lol It was still a really great day and we loved every moment of it. We highly recommend them.

    Tony and Maria did such a great job on my engagement pictures and wedding pictures! I loved the quality and the editing he did! It was never too much and I just loved it! Anything I needed or wanted done to even a specific picture he always was very receptive and quick to do it. Overall I had a great experience :)

    Tony and Maria were a pleasure to work with!! They both really shared our excitement and happiness for our wedding day and we truly appreciated that. They were in constant contact with me and met with us twice. Our first meeting, we discussed and expressed the type of photographs we wanted and they were very patient and heard us out. I was also pleasantly surprised to see them at our ceremony rehearsal! They came out and let us know where they would set up and did a whole walkthrough with us. Throughout our wedding day, they kept us on time and Maria even carried my change of shoes :), thank you for that!

    Our final products were BEAUTIFUL! Their imagination and creativity really is an amazing talent of theirs. I was hesitant with our location at first but when i viewed what they created, i can honestly say they know EXACTLY what they are doing and i was happy we trusted them. I couldnt have asked for better professional, easy going photographers.

    Thank you Tony and Maria for EVERYTHING :)

    Perfect. Our word to describe the work of Black Rider Studios. They got our pictures hands down EXACTLY as we hoped for. On many occasions they exceeded our expectations. They quite literally got down on the dirty floor just to capture a scene we had in mind. They never said no. Any shot they could do. Any idea they brought to a perfect moment and captured it beautifully. I must add I appreciated wholeheartedly that they would ask if we felt comfortable doing what they asked of us. (A kiss on camera) . all in all they're a professional team which gives the friendliness and comfort of a long time friend. No awkwardness. Just an unforgettable moment. Tony and Maria make a great team. We'd recommend them to anyone, and they'll definitely be the first ones we go to for any other life event that needs a good photo shoot.

    We loved this photography team. They made everything leading up to our special day seamless and on the day it was amazing. They made our day so much fun that we completely felt it go by as we took our pictures. Tony and Maria are the best I have ever worked with in photography and as they expand their services I am sure all their plans will be successful. Thank you for all your hard work and anybody who works with you will feel awesome like we did!

    Ok where do i start... In case you don't want to read the whole review let me start with this, they are great and i would definitely recommend them!!!
    ok now to the whole review, Tony and Maria go above and beyond you can see their passion in every photo/piece of art that they take. Its incredible, and if you look at their work you would think it would be some crazy exaggerated price (like all other photographers in town) but since they love what they do and because they like to see their customers happy, their pricing is surprisingly affordable, tony and maria also know the stress you go through when you are getting married so they try to make it as easy as possible for you, and you can trust that they will go through with what they say, they are punctual, professional, easy to work with,affordable. everything you need and expect of a photographer for your event, my wife and I couldn't be happier with the results of our wedding pictures, we will definitely be working with them for anniversaries to come!. So, if you need a photographer, do not doubt one bit in contacting them.
    Thank you BRS for making the highlights and memories of our wedding last forever with your photos, -Jacob&Itzel

    I have begun and erased , and started over again and again as I wrote this review. It will be a really really long one. So high five if you get through it ;) I only write reviews when they are truly worth it.
    All I am trying to do is explain how incredible Black Rider Studios is. My now husband and I interviewed photographers to take care of our wedding photos a few months ago. None of them seemed as warm and interested as Tony and Maria. From the moment we said hello to them we knew we were off to a good start.The first time I saw their work was through a friends instagram page. The photo caught me off guard an I instantly needed to know who was responsible for such exquisite photography. Not only do they have an original vintage/rebel taste, but they will work with your ideas and envision what you are looking for. Maria is a real doll, she makes you feel comfortable and her genuine personality mixed with her good eye for details is wonderful.. She did an absolutely amazing job with me. I am not a photogenic person at all so I was very nervous, but I have to say that she is truly an artist!!!
    Tony will do anything to make sure you are happy with your photos . He is very passionate about his work and has fun with it. He really does not make this seem like his job, but like a hobby he truly enjoys (and is a rockstar at)
    He always kept a fun, easy going personality, but took his work seriously and NAILED it!
    Anyways, if you want professional, ORIGINAL, (not the same ol boring photos you see at every wedding) photos that will take you back to those beautiful moments, Tony and Maria are sure to captivate them in a flash. Our wedding photos were unbelievably stunning, they caught the funny, emotional, loving expressions of everyone and especially of my husband and I. They also took the time to write a heart warming blog about our wedding and shared their experience. Tony and Maria made us feel very special and met all of our expectation, not only that but they

    From beginning to end these guys are the BEST!!! Catching the essence of every moment, the sincerity in every smile and the perfect moments was key in our search for photographers.

    They did just that! From beginning to end the pictures were wonderful. If you want GREAT customer service with GREAT pictures you won't regret choosing black rider studios.

    Highly recommend them!!
