Renee C. says, "Christian was amazing to work with. I booked him for a family photo session. We were traveling to the area for a family vacation and had no clue where to take photos. He was extremely helpful in scouting the areas and making suggestions that aligned with what I wanted, while also being proactive in reaching out to confirm times and locations. I appreciate his responsiveness and great communication. Day of, it rained. Christian arrived an hour early to the photo shoot location, was monitoring the rain and had contingency plans in place so we didn’t need to reschedule. It’s very stressful to plan a Photoshoot where we don’t live. Christian made this process so seamless and I didn’t need to worry about anything. He was professional and great with the 5 little kids we had in our group. The kids may not have cooperated at the same time but Christian helped us make the best of it and get amazing photos for us to treasure. Photos were amazing and delivered extremely fast. Our whole family is in love with the photos and grateful that Christian was such a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend booking him for your next Photoshoot. You wont regret it."See more

Emerson I. says, "Had an amazing experience with Wayne! He took me and my fiancé’s engagement photos which were stunning. Incredibly kind as we were running half an hour late to the venue and waited for us to arrive. Great photographer that helped us get the best photos to celebrate our engagement. Thank you Wayne!"See more
