Very satisfied- on time, quick to respond to queries, offers great service and value. A very good product, initiated taking photos when photo booth not busy, also offers immediate web access to photos. Event was a milestone bday at a personal residence. Overall SPHOTOGRAPHY was excellent and would recommend.

I saw Steve has several reviews so I decided to contact him. He was very nice and easy to transact with. Imagine his style of photo booth as a studio wherein your photographer guides you to pose and relax, complete with lights and props. He would also take candid photos at the event for free.
What we liked most is once he took the the photo, the guests will be able to view and copy and IG them right away with a link that he provides.
We loved his service a lot we hired him again last weekend. He willingly traveled to Vista without hiking up his price. What matters to him is his clients would go home happy. That shows how much Steve loves what he is doing.

Steve was super great to work with. I had a birthday party and wanted to take fund and glam pics with friends. I work in the events industry but I'm also not from LA so was cautious about picking a photographer. Steve was quick, professional and worked with my budget. The pictures turned out great and we were able to see the pictures live, as soon as he took them which was a huge plus! I would highly recommend him and will definitely use him if I am in need of photog in LA. Awesome work, thanks Steve!

Steve was very professional. Arrived ahead of time. Anxious to see the pictures and video. Steve went above and beyond what I expected. I just looked at some of the pictures online and they are excellent. I would definitely hire him again and
recommend him to my friends.

He was amazing! In addition to a fantastic photo booth experience, when people weren’t in it (during toasts, etc) he pulled his camera and roamed around taking candid shots. People loved his enthusiasm, and he added to the whole party vibe.

Wedding•Reviewed on May 21, 2022•From Newport Beach, CA
I hired Steve for 5 hours for a backyard wedding at our home. We transformed the house to turn it into venue for our 45 guests. We rented everything, had a Saxophonist, DJ, a bar with bartenders in the backyard by the pool with string lighting, a flower wall, and more. Most of the photos are of guests on the flower wall. While there are some nice pics, he didn't capture the event. No pictures of the event space, none of my wife and I at the sweet hearts table or any guests during the dinner. None of the ceremony seating, the walls of pictures, the buffet room, none of that and more missing. He had 350 pictures after 5 hours, I was expecting & still hoping for more.

Not Good!! Disappointed. The video provided was very short and in slow motion to make it seem longer. He told me I would get a lot of pictures and didn't. I feel robbed of my special moment. A year later stil trying to get the pictures. I would not use and would not recommend.

Excellent work. We are completely satisfied. Still photos were terrific. Video compilation with soundtrack from our birthday music celebration event exceeded our expectations, and it was an unexpected surprise. I would not hesitate in recommending Sphotography for a future assignment. My sincerest gratitude.

Steve and his associate Steve we INCREDIBLY AMAZING!! They were ready for set up, extremely professional, kind, open minded, and most of all, compassioate to my family and guests! They captured moments that I would have never caught because I was a busy hostess. I would DEFINATELY recommend Steve and welcome to hire him again! Even my guests complemented how great he was!! Thanks for a memorable evening Steve!!

THE WORST VENDOR SERVICE I HAVE EVER HAD!! DO NOT HIRe
Horrible & rude communication pre, during and post event
Arrived late and Incomplete setup- see through backdrop
Numerous guests complained about how rude he was- WOW
Helped himself to our food during the main event of the night- belly dancer performance
Zero pictures of happy birthday singing or candles
We had to file an official complaint with Bash to get him to send the digital copies- as promised in the contract
Did not walk around and take photos- only once when I requested
Refusing to send images until we wrote a review, texted me at midnight asking for a review
Extremely rude and unprofessional.
:
Courtney, your review is in full contrast to my 5-star average rating of over 140 reviews, & the “Best Of” The Bash awards I've received yearly since 2016 (except 2020 due COVID). I was hired to do a photobooth, which I did. That doesn't include the additional pictures your complaint lists. I did take some of those pictures as a courtesy to you; but it was very difficult due to how rudely you spoke to and treated me, as a servant, and not a hired professional. That type of treatment will get you what you paid for and not the added services you are demanding for free. I encourage you to treat those you hire for future events with the dignity and respect they deserve for the mere fact that they are fellow human beings. Also, it's customary to provide a meal for the photographer, and that's been my experience with the 100's of events I've serviced. Sorry if the food was not meant to be given to the workers at your event. I served myself only after your father-in-law insisted I do so.

SPhotograpy did an incredible job—Steve was responsive, professional, and his work is creative and beautiful. The kids enjoyed his photobooth and he roamed and took candidswhen things were slow. Very proactive. I can’t recommend him enough.

Celebration•Reviewed on July 7, 2019•From Riverside, CA
WORST SERVICE EVER! I had a full length text with Steve, the photographer. I specifically requested an open air style photo booth, to which he agreed he could supply. On the day of the party, he showed up, but with no photo booth. He asked how I told him, "was in in text or a voicemail." He wasn't even aware of our conversation. When I asked how I would get my deposit back, he asked, " how much did you pay?" I even asked if he was the same person from the company I was corresponding with, thinking I had the conversation with someone else. Very unprofessional. He was unapologetic, all he said was, "this is on me." I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PHOTOGRAPHER!

Graduation Party•Reviewed on June 7, 2018•From Pasadena, CA
DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! They were a no show an left me high and dry. The entire graduation party was built around the photo booth. We built a stage and had plaques made for the photo inserts. The cost of the party was $5k and couldn’t find anyone to cover as we had no warning. Emotionally this was something I will never forget or forgive. We checked in daily so everything would be perfect from stage to props etc. When I called to find out where they were and steve answered the phone and laughed saying if shoot he got the day wrong? Then he said he was working on getting someone here - then he said it was because he was sick. A stream of lies.

It was an amazing day! The kids were so happy and loved taking pictures with all their friends. Steve was great in taking lots of pics. We'd be happy to recommebd him and I'm sure the school will want him for the next 5th grade bash.
