Layne was great to work with! She made the process of hiring a photographer for my birthday party easy. I’d happily work with Layne again.

Eric was absolutely phenomenal and provided excellent photos and memories from my 30th Birthday Halloween Party. He was professional, personable, and timely, and is truly a great event photographer that captures lively candids. I'm in the process of booking him for an upcoming party since he was that great.

Karolina Heggaton Photography
Karolina photographed our daughter's 1st birthday party. She was professional and punctual, and captured the moments of our party perfectly. The photos were very candid and 'in the moment', as we had requested. She also took some family photos before the event that were lovely. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent event photographer!

W. Biederman Photography
Working with Bill for my 75th Birthday Party was a wonderful experience. The photos are exactly what l was looking for: a combination of informal and family groupings. Easy to work with and very responsive to every request. Highly recommend his services.

I hired the team for my son’s 5th birthday party in order to make sure we captured memories. They did an awesome job, were kind and professional, on time, flexible, and we got an album of great photos promptly as promised. Thank you!

Lori Strock Photography
The original photographer for our son's birthday party had to cancel at the last minute. Lori stepped in on short notice, calmed our concerns, and did a wonderful job. She was friendly, professional, and delivered great pictures. We are very happy, thank you Lori!!

I hired him for my son's birthday party last weekend..
He has no sense how to click the photographs, no photo has complete picture i.e. every photo is cutting by left, right, top etc.. There is birthday table we have and he took 3 photo of that table in parts instead of single table photo.. lots of photos have flash lights and he even didn't try to click again for better one.. No picture ha background and guests both..
Even with closeup photos he cut the head, face of guests..
In Overall nut shell Please don't hire this person, else it will ruin your photoshoot.
I can't share photo with guest but some table pics are here.. I am sure if a kid is asked to take photos, will give good pictures than this guy..

Martika Photography, LLC
It was great working with Martika for my daughter's 1-year-old birthday party AND cake smash photos. It was a lot to cram in to a short amount of time and limited space, and she was very flexible, accommodating and had great suggestions. The photos are GORGEOUS and she had a very fast turnaround time! Also, she's very quick at responding to questions/emails which is great. Would definitely recommend Martika as a photographer! Thank you!

We hired Bill to take pictures for our son’s four year old birthday party at an indoor trampoline park. Around 20 kids were in our party but mixed with other kids when they jump around and Bill did a fantastic job tracking them all! We got a LOT of edited photos in less than a week, and the families were so happy with them!

Emil photographed my 30th birthday party and it was honestly some of the best money I’ve ever spent! His prices were very reasonable, and I was blown away by the quality and quantity of photos I received (and within 4-5 days). He was very friendly and did a nice job coordinating group shots and also taking some candids. I would definitely hire him again in the future!

Karolina Heggaton Photography
Karolina was very professional, helpful and excellent at her job! She communicated with me, showed up on time, did what we agreed on! I am so grateful for her and how beautifully she caught our daughter's 1st Birthday party! She is my photographer to go to now and recommend her to everyone I know. She did what she promised!

Reel Good Photography
Binita was a joy to work with. My wife and I planned a huge milestone surprise birthday party for my parents. There were a lot of logistics involved and it was extremely important to us that we found someone who could capture all the key moments of the evening. Binita did just that. She was easy to work with, punctual, and gracefully captured the evening. The photos are lovely and we cannot wait to share them with our family.

Eljay Cabrera Photography
Finding and choosing Eljay Cabrera Photography was the best decision ever. Price was reasonable and the team was punctual and friendly. I loved seeing Eljay and his partner take pictures the whole night. This was exceptional because I didn’t have to worry about taking pictures myself and focus on the 70th birthday party for my wonderful mother. I would highly recommend Eljay for any of your special events. He was friendly and a joy to have at our event. You can’t go wrong choosing Eljay Cabrera Photography!! Thank you Eljay!! 🙏🏻😁
