Tom did an excellent job photographing our small wedding ceremony. He had excellent communication leading up to the event, listened to the types of photos we wanted, did a create job shooting the event, and quickly turned around beautiful images (within a week). Highly recommend Tom for all your photography needs. We look forward to using him again for our future milestones. Thanks Tom!

Nitish was amazing!!! I really appreciated his communication, flexibility, and professionalism. He was beyond friendly to all event guests and captured beautiful, fun, candid photos! Further, he did a great job editing these photos and share them over Google Drive which was really easy to access. We are beyond thankful for Nitish's help at our event and plan to use him in the future.

Kelley was our photographer for a Grand Opening Event. She captured everything that I requested with an artistic eye! There were wonderful still shots of the food, alcohol vendors and clubhouse and great candid shots of the attendees! I would definitely recommend Kelley to be your photographer and would use her services again.

Chance photography gave me a "No worry" superb experience. She was punctual, professional,positive and patient. She was able to discretly capture the key moments in the event. Several people came late, and she cordially accommodated them. The pictures were clear and crisp with lots of personality popping through. I appreciate her attention to detail during picture perfect moments. I would use her services again and again. Thank you Chance Photography for your AMAZING services at our event!!!

Jason and Kat did such an incredible job photographing my surprise proposal and our subsequent engagement photos. As I was not from the area, they were so helpful in scouting the location with me as well as helping to calm my nerves since I was so nervous! As far as the photos, they came out beautifully and I am so fortunate to have come across them when doing research for this event. Thanks so much and I highly highly recommend!

When working with this photographer, I got the sense that he cared about my event. He was professional and very responsive. He heard my concerns and was willing to make some adjustments to suit my needs. I would contact him again if the need arose.

Karen did an amazing job. She found ways to capture the wedding that left us speechless. Her eye for detail and making sure the shot was just right was unparallel. We seen some of the preview of our wedding and they photos have come out better than we dreamed. We will be hiring her again for our celebration event and any other events we want to have captured with her artistic eye and amazing talent.

Nitish came out to help us on short notice to take photos of a special night event and did a fantastic job. He was on-time, professional, great with staff and guests, and took some great shots. I had the files within days. Would use him again for sure!

I had the last minute idea to gift one of my besties with photography for her 40th birthday party. Her hubby was super pumped about the idea and we hired Kelley based on her price and reviews and she did a great job! She was prompt and very focused during the event, looking for every opportunity to snap candids as well as posed pictures. The edited photos were ready in 6 days and we were very pleased with the final product!

Paul was very easy to work with. He was a great communicator, and very accommodating when I asked to make changes to our original plan. He was very friendly and professional when interacting with guests at my event, and the final photos were delivered quickly and were all of great quality. I would definitely hire him again!

The photographs we got were perfect. She got every shot we asked for but I was really taken by her candids. She captured the true spirit and all the emotion of our event. She moved around the party unobtrusively (got several shots of me I didn't realize she was taking!). We definitely plan to use her again and again.

Faceinlens Photography, LLC - Ayhan Photography
Faceinlens Photography, LLC - Ayhan Photography
Ayhan was the photographer that we use for our 30 year vow renewal. He was very professional but he fit right in just like part of the family. That says a lot because our occasion was very intimate with less than 30 people in person and the rest on zoom. It was a very cold day and our event was the day before a pending snow storm. I have had several compliments on the event and pictures , because it was more than what people expected. The pictures telling the story , really mean a lot, since our parents, who couldn’t be there, Hi don’t use the internet, but can see the pictures.

My husband and I are thrilled with Caleb and Carolina Blue Photography. We hired Caleb off of Thumbtack. He was efficient and effective as he learned what we were hoping to capture from our special day. When the day came he was the picture of flexibility - just sort of molding himself into the day's events. Then, of course, there are the pictures...BEAUTIFUL, capturing so many precious moments! Thank you, Caleb!

Working with Ayhan was very easy and he was very professional. He was extremely patient at the wedding waiting on all our friends and family to take photos on their IPhones. The pictures he took turned out great and we feel it was very good value and we are so glad we hired him for the wedding. Would certainly recommend him to anyone else getting married or for any other event. He was extremely easy to work with.

Armon did a fabulous job as the photographer/videographer for my husband's 60th birthday party. Our daughter had a medical emergency a few weeks prior and required surgery and a great deal of care, which threw a wrench in the party planning. By the night prior, I had almost completely given up hope on finding a photographer/videographer but I said a prayer and went to Thumbtack and within 15 minutes Armon called. I did not have a clear idea of what I wanted other than for my husband to hear how people talk about him behind his back because he is a wonderful man and people say the nicest things about him. With very little guidance from me outside of that stated goal, Armon handled everything. He mingled with the guests, obtained the permissions, videotaped snippets, and took beautiful photos, then edited it all. His price was very reasonable and he was very pleasant to work with. I am so, so grateful for his speedy response, spontaneity, and willingness to drive more than an hour each way to cover our 3-hour event on such short notice! He also worked hard to get the photos back to me in time to share them at a family gathering the following weekend. I really cannot overstate how accommodating he was, even sending everything multiple ways to offset my tech deficits. Thank you, Armon! You were literally the answer to prayer.

Steven backed out of our wedding two weeks before the event, after ghosting us for several days, and took over a month to refund our deposit. We signed our contract with him and paid the $100 deposit in August 2018 for our May 2019 wedding. April 2019 came along and we hadn't heard from him all winter, despite his claim that he had emailed us in December 2018*. After several attempts at reaching out to him via email, text, and phone, he finally emailed us back in early May 2019 to tell us he had moved away from the area (in late 2018) and would not shoot our wedding (and that he was sure we could find another photographer - two weeks before the date). When we requested that he refund our deposit, it took several emails, a phone call, and more than a month for him to refund us in full. We found his behavior and demeanor throughout the entire process to be wholly unprofessional. *Steven uses Mailtrack, a service that allows him to know when his emails have been opened. Even if he did email us, as he claims, he would know that we hadn't seen the email.
