    I could not be more pleased with the services and quality received. He always went above and beyond and was a step ahead of the mothers.

    Avoid or suffer your own lose

    The reviews aren't wrong, unfortunately I didnt' read them first. Contracted to shoot 2 videos, only got one after 4 months, zero communication, never responses, and the quality of the work was subpar. Lost over $3,500 will be pursuing legal action. Get the word out about this person, so he can't ruin other peoples important moments. After a poor history with individuals, it appears he is moving towards businesses. Don't believe the positive reviews, and disregard the truth in the negative reviews.

    Unfortunately this photographer lost our wedding photos after his computer malfunctioned. He was able to recover some of the photos (thankfully), but the quality was so poor it was difficult to make out faces in some of the photos. I truly understand that accidents happen, but to make matters worse he was not timely in his responses and would take weeks to return an e-mail and would not return a phone call. We still have not received a refund, even though the contract states otherwise. Overall, a truly devastating situation for everyone. These are moments in time that we will never get back, but ultimately this photographer’s lack of communication is why I would never recommend him to anyone.

    Do not use this person. We hired him to be our photographer and videographer. At the end, he purposely lost all of our wedding videography and lied about it for months. (Claimed he had a computer issue). We had to hire a lawyer to get our money paid back in full. He was unresponsive to calls and emails. We believe he never even intended to video our wedding at all. I will never get to see my ceremony or watch my husband and I exchange vows because of him.

    Lost most of our wedding photos and then told us that we were crazy for thinking he did so. No photos of bride or groom's family or any altar pictures we posed for. Only 30-40 photos of the reception. Most bridal party photos were blurry/out of focus. We had to hire a lawyer at 6 months to help us contact him, as he never responded to emails and calls, and he had no photos. He settled out of court, paying us back in full. We reached out to other clients, who had similar issue.

    Pretty much lost all our photos. Tried to tell us that he sent up 200 photos but really, they were just 100 color and the other 100 were the black and white versions of the color pics. Avoided us for months until we got a lawyer involved. Refunded our money days before the court date. Not a single photo of the groom with his family or friends. Lost memories
