WOW. Working with Kevin has been a dream. He is so professional, personable, and incredible at what he does. The back story: my original wedding photographer ghosted me, so I was in a scramble a couple months before my wedding! I found SDL on thumbtack, and I couldn’t be happier how everything turned out. Kevin arrived early, made my entire family feel so comfortable, and you can just tell he loves what he does. The photos are STUNNING. He was so communicative the whole time. I would hire him all over again for any event.

They did a great job with our proposal and wedding pictures. Super easy to work with, really accommodating, and flexible with everything we needed. The photos came out great, and they made the whole process feel comfortable and stress-free. Definitely appreciate the work they put in and would recommend them to anyone looking for someone reliable for special moments.

I had the most positive experience with Kevin from start to finish. He captured my party in a way I will cherish forever with artistic angles and all the right images, while staying in the background yet engaging in a fun way with our friends. He was also punctual and a good communicator, and he sent the photos within a few days sharing updates about his status. His service was worth it, I look forward to working with him again, and I highly recommend him.

I had a wonderful experience with SDL studios! I scheduled a last minute surprise photo shoot for my fiancé’s birthday. Kevin was professional and created a wonderful environment. We were so happy with the results! I would recommend using SDL studios to create beautiful lasting memories!
