Ken was everything we could have hoped for in wedding photographers! On our wedding day, we were able to structure a full day with them that let us get some great shots all over Yosemite. Ken was also a pleasure to spend our special day with. They were easy to get along with, easy to talk to and willing to give and take suggestions. They really took the time to help put together a personal and absolutely stunning set of photographs from our wedding. Finally, they even suggested a guide for us in Costa Rica, who helped make our honeymoon great. We couldn't recommend Ken more highly!! - Jay & Sara Sayles – Sacramento, CA.
There is no better duo of photographers than KenM .. Ken knows Yosemite inside and out, from the best locations to photograph us to capturing the best lighting for each area. Our photos were perfect and the time we spent with them was unforgettable and fun! They are the perfect photography team, often complimenting each other. They were running, climbing, and popping out bushes, lugging their cameras and massive equipment around just to capture the best moments of my breathtaking wife and I. We can't thank them enough for their hard work. They are truly worth every penny! From the first day we contacted them, Ken was been extremely informative and responsive. These two are very professional as well as skilled. There is no need to look beyond this review because the Yosemite Wedding Photographers are the team for your special day, in your special location, and with your special someone. - Art J., Fremont, CA
First off, my husband and I are wedding photographers in San Diego. When we decided to get married in Yosemite this past December, we had very definite ideas about what we wanted. We looked at a lot of portfolios from area photographers, and were really excited when we saw how Ken captures the beauty of Yosemite, pulling the couple into the photo but still showing the grandeur of the valley - exactly what we envisioned! We contacted them and felt like we had made friends before we even met. It's so important to connect with and like your wedding photographer(s) - they share such an important day in your life. Ken got everything - the perfect combination of formals and informals and big and little details. Everything I had worked on (I DIY'd a lot of the decorations, etc) was beautifully captured for me to remember. Then, when fog enveloped the valley after the ceremony, they went above and beyond to meet with us the next day to get those special shots we had so wanted - this was a level of caring for us as a couple that showed us that great customer service is absolutely top priority with them. Oh, and the photos are absolutely top notch - great composition and use of lighting, and superior processing. Simply the best! - Diane M., San Diego, CA
We LOVE LOVE LOVE our wedding pictures. If you are getting married in Yosemite you will not be disappointed with Ken's work. We interviewed 14 different photographers and we were impressed with this couple from the very start. As we looked through their portfolio, Ken asked us to reflect and comment on the photos we liked and why. They were interested in the compositions that WE liked and they used that as a guide in how they shot our wedding. It's clear in their photos that Ken isable to capture the beauty of the area while focusing on the spirit of the moment of your wedding day.
Ken knows Yosemite inside and out. They are passionate about their photography, about their clients, and they have that incredible gift of being able balance the brilliance of Yosemite with the intimacy of your wedding day in their photos. I would give them six stars if yelp allowed it! - Erin M., San Francisco, CA
