Kevin was incredibly professional and helpful for our first tie getting professional photographs done, let alone engagement photoshoots. He was patient and his poses were unique as was his ability to play with light and shadows. 10/10 would recommend!

We used The Simple Theory for new employee headshots and will continue to do so! Kevin is absolutely amazing to work with - he has impeccable response time, organized, personable, and made the process as smooth as possible. He was able to meet with our new employee asap and delivered the photos promptly. The headshot photos came out beautifully, our new employee is so happy with the outcome. Highly recommend The Simple Theory! Thank you again Kevin!

We first heard about Kevin and the simple theory photography from thumbtack where he has excellent reviews. We scheduled a phone meeting where he got to know us and we explained that we wanted to do a hike up to Preacher’s Rock, change into wedding clothes and do a vow exchange. From the beginning we swapped inspiration photos and videos so we were on the same page with how we wanted the photos to look. On the day of the elopement Kevin went above and beyond. He even brought a pop up changing tent for me to go from hiking clothes to wedding dress in, which I was not expecting! Kevin has an amazing eye for beautiful shots and was able to guide us with posing. He even made sure to put mics on us at the beginning of the hike to capture candid audio for our video. Kevin delivered the photos and video is record timing and we were absolutely in love with his work! We look forward to looking back on our day for years to come! We highly recommend booking Kevin for your upcoming event!

Details: Wedding • 20 guests or fewer • Outdoors • Highlight video (3 - 4 minutes)

Working with Kevin was fantastic. He was easy to coordinate with, picked an awesome location for us to meet for the photo shoot and truly went above and beyond in capturing great shots and delivering final photos. He was easy to be around, and super quick in delivering the finals. Highly highly recommend him!
