Duane Peck, Digital Studios

as an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. His final work speaks for itself. Duane has an eye for capturing brillance and using the natural light to his advantage. His professalism is outstanding, he has a gentle demeanor yet can round up and control the feistiest of personalities in the room! - which is exactly what you need in a good photographer! We feel so blessed to have his work hanging on our walls forever. Not only was our wedding day the absolute best day of our lives, we have the most beautiful photos to remember it by. We are so happy we chose Duane!

ness and it shows just from how he carries himself that he knows what he is doing. My bridesmaids even commented on how awesome he was. Duane handled my matron of honor's crabby attitude well, and even a rude dog owner who wouldn't handle his dog properly while it interrupted our first look shot. He was never rude, and always on point with keeping up with the day's timeline. While viewing some photos with him during the day, I could tell he is more critical of his work than I am (and I can be a little picky). His associate (the second photographer) showed us some teasers that he had taken, and those were breathtaking. So I can only imagine what Duane's photos will look like! He is transparent about what he thinks would and would not work, so if you're the kind of bride that has to have it her way and no other way, don't go with him, because he will really tell you the truth if he thinks what you want is not a good idea. Because, let's face it, he's a professional, and he knows good lighting. His job is to capture the best photos that will pop! I wanted my first look at a site that he thought wouldn't be a good idea in terms of lighting. I didn't heed his advice, but he still found a way to make it work. I could't have been happier, and I can't wait to leave a review again after I see his work in a few weeks.

ations. His calm, gentle demeanor made the two hour shoot fun and easy going. What impressed me was his willingness to put in the extra effort to make sure the shots were just right- including his climbing to the top of a large rock to make to make sure the angle of the photo was just right. He was always on time, easy to work with, and best of all, the final,result were pictures we really loved. They will provide us with many years of great memories!

results. I highly recommend his services!

was direct and transparent, he did not try to sell us what we didn’t want or need, and had an honest answer to all of our questions. For example, he explained why we would want a second shooter on the wedding day, due to the number of guests, but did not pressure us to choose a more expensive option. He left it up to us. One of my favorite things is having the rights to our photos; we receive our photos on a USB and can print them, send them to friends and family, or post them on social media as we like. Our engagement photos are the absolute dream. Duane knew all the best places for our shoot. My fiancé and I were not too familiar or comfortable with photos and Duane was incredibly patient with us. The pictures are perfection. Duane and I had a long phone conversation before the wedding. He demonstrated his incredible knowledge and experience by helping me fine tune the day-of schedule (e.g., the June light would be better for the photos of the first dance after dinner), and he was so right. I felt zero stress about photography leading up to the wedding, a relief for any bride-to-be. On wedding day, the photography could not have gone more smoothly. Duane was professional and timely. Although we had several large issues with other vendors and a few family and friends, Duane maintained his cool throughout a few near-breakdowns (eyelash glue in my eyes and on my contacts). We got our teaser photos within the month, as promised: they are stunningly beautiful. I have been consistently so impressed with Duane and everything he’s done and I would ABSOLUTELY recommend him to anyone for any occasion.

my husband and I have for each other along with our families.

eeded our standards. Duane had a relaxed and patient tone. Of the many stresses during our wedding day, we felt relaxed and entrusted by the directions he gave us. We are sincerely content, and have been complimented by our friends and family with the photos that he took.

es were some of the best and his reviews were top notch. Our videographer canceled out on us last minute and he helped set us up with his buddy right away, taking so much stress off our shoulders. He's responsive and has quite the artistic eye. When he tells you to do something for a photo, just do it. It may seem odd in the moment, but he knows what he's doing and he ends up producing incredible work because of it. Thank you for capturing our wedding day so perfectly, Duane!!

have someone to capture all the moments of our special day. Duane exceeded our expectations and his photos of our wedding are gorgeous! Duane is very professional, gifted, and will take the time to make sure your photos are perfect!!!

ng, talented photographer! He is focused on you and what you want out of your experience! Some photographers want the list of shots you want and will check them all off, but Duane already knows all of the shots you want and will definitely get them without you even having to ask! I picked Duane because his style is just absolutely breathtaking. If you are looking for wedding venue brochure and magazine level romantics of you and your partner, Duane is the way to go! We got our teaser pictures from the wedding a short 3 weeks after the wedding, and we are absolutely in LOVE! He truly captured the beauty of the venue in a special way. It was a fairy themed wedding, and he absolutely bottled up the magic of everything in his shots! Aside from his stunning work, Duane was very easy to talk to and get a hold of. I was a pretty low communication bride overall. Once I booked things, I really only checked in with need to know details, so really the few times I did need to talk to him he was very attentive. My biggest piece of advice is LISTEN TO ANY ADVICE HE GIVES YOU!!!! He gave me several very good suggestions, and I just didn’t think I needed them. Boy, was I wrong! Get a second photographer! Especially if you are on a short timeline. From the aisle to running out of the venue, my wedding was 5 hours. I already knew that wasn’t enough time, but I was talked out of adding extra hours. The second photographer REALLY would have shaved off time in the beginning to get all of the venue shots and bridal party getting ready shots. This was entirely my error, but SERIOUSLY! If Duane suggests anything, it is truly in your best interest to take his advice! I would absolutely recommend him to any of my friends! Best money you could spend on your wedding!

pecial care to find the perfect location! Duane is fantastic!! We got married at beach in front of the Montage. He was extremely detail oriented, knowledgeable, easy and fun to work with, and very professional. He also found a videographer who helped make or day even more special. His direction and guidance, along with his talent, of course, resulted in the most beautiful pictures we could have imagined!! We are so grateful for Duane and his patience with us, as well as being genuinely supportive of our union. We can’t recommend Duane enough!

amilies are so happy with the photos!

es are superb not only from an artistic standpoint but from a technical one as well. He really takes the time to make sure he has the perfect shot. You will not be disappointed if you go with Duane.

tale story – one that every bride dreams to show her future children someday. We were incredibly impressed and pleased with the service we received from Digital Studios. I instantly knew how incredibly gifted he was after viewing his portfolio. His photos tell a unique story of each person he captures. Duane is truly gifted and has developed a beautiful craft of perfection with capturing a magical and loving experience in his work. I wholeheartedly recommend Duane Peck to every bride and groom or anyone in need of a gifted artist to capture his/her special moments. He was one of the best choices we made during our entire wedding process and I am beyond blessed to have met such a gifted artist.

work with. Great communicator, knows lots of locations to go based on your preferences. His price point in comparison to many other photographers I looked at could not be beat! Could not be more thankful to him for his great work and look forward to working with him in the future should the occasion arise!

t decision I made for my wedding. and he did such an outstanding job. Before my wedding day, he provided us with a timeline, and adjusted it based on how we wanted our day to go. This was the timeline that everyone and all of our vendors followed, and our day was executed perfectly (we started our ceremony EARLY because we were so on time). He was prompt, extremely professional, and VERY creative. We had some videographers that were very pushy and you can tell were just trying to move Duane out of the way to get their shot. Duane handled them in the utmost professional and courteous way and let them do their thing. He was extremely courteous and so unbelievably nice to everyone he encountered. I was very impressed at how good he and his team were with all of our wedding party, especially since we can be kind of a rowdy group. I feel like I am being dramatic, but I cannot express how grateful I am that Duane knew what he was doing and was so good at what he does. I have only seen one highlight photo (I just got married on Saturday), and it took my breath away. I did not have very many visions for what I wanted my pictures to look like, mainly because I didn't have time to think about it, and Duane just knew what to do. He came up with some amazing ideas, both creative and traditional, and got through so many different angles and backgrounds. I can already tell he fully executed and captured every aspect of our special day. Duane scoped out the venue and came up with some great ideas for photos, and was so creative with the scenery. He asked if we wanted to go outside while everyone was eating to get a night shot, and boy am I glad we agreed. The picture he got that I briefly saw on the camera is absolutely exquisite! He was present at every turn and I don't think he missed anything. I literally cannot explain how relieved and thrilled I am that my photographer was an absolute genius! He also has a photobooth and brings everything you need. I definitely think that was an added bonus. I would not even question that you are in good hands if you book him.

ponsive, available, professional and provided us with pictures more beautiful that we could have imagined. Duane knew exactly what he was doing throughout the entire process. He is a creative, perfectionist, organized and EXTREMELY TALENTED photographer. We were so impressed with his confidence and ability to capture the perfect lighting for all of our pictures. Thank you Duane for all of your hard work and for helping us capture these priceless moments :) If you are looking for a photographer, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND Duane! :)

just superb. Great job!

d guided us in order to get the right shots. Duane has many great ideas and gives great advice. He highly suggested and encouraged us to take sunset pictures at our reception site (something we didn’t give much thought to or thought of as a big deal) but we are so happy we took his advice. Our sunset photo is one of our favorites thus far! We just got married, so we still have yet to get the rest of our pictures; however, all the pictures we got from our Engagement shoot and teaser gallery were just amazing. Yes, that’s right, you heard me; a teaser gallery. You won’t just get a few pictures (like you normally would with other photographers) but you get an entire gallery of your pictures that should hold you over until the rest of your pictures come in. Duane is a must have for a photographer. We highly recommend him!

nd made the photography session so stress-free!! Thank you Duane for helping us make this day so special!!!

're just so all over the place you're not really paying attention but Duane kept us on track. My family was ALL over the place it was stressing me out!! He sensed that and graciously kept it all together by gathering my crazy family without me having to do it and have a complete melt down. He knew the timeline of my day and kept us on that as well because time simply just flies. We had a second shooter as well which my guests simply loved. Taking pictures of them making them part of our day. Duane also knew how important it was for us to capture the moment of our gender reveal (we are having a girl) and stayed extra time to make sure he captured that special moment for us. I couldn't thank him enough for his professionalism and kindness to us. We simply were so very happy to have him for our day. I can't wait for our pictures!! Pricing is extremely reasonable! Photography isn't cheap as we all know but Duane is simply a pro at what he does and worth every single penny!! Thank you so much!!

to go over all his options for engagement and wedding pictures and he gave me a great package that included both. We did the engagement pictures at Laguna Beach and he did an incredible work even though it was so cloudy on that day. Friends and family gave us so many compliments on them. Before our wedding day I had many questions about every detail and Duane was always available to answer all my questions and concerns, he sent me a timeline for the day of the wedding and when the day came he was on time and ready for the day. He was always professional and ready to take as many pictures as necessary. A week after the wedding he sent us some of the pictures so I could use them for my "thank you" cards. I absolutely love his work and I totally recommend anyone to book any event with him. You won't regret it!! Thank you Duane!! You are the best :)

eye this day you spent months and months planning will be over. And all you will have left are your wedding day photos, to remind of this beautiful day, that flew by. So that is what I set off to find. I GREAT photographer with reasonable pricing. And that is exactly what I found with Duane. Both my husband and I couldn't be happier with our photos and his personality. He is absolutely everything I wanted in a photographer. Someone that could direct us, was detail oriented, professional, and organized. We are both quite camera shy, and quite frankly a little awkward in front of a camera. Duane was funny, and easy going, made the process a lot smoother than expected. He gave us direction on how to pose, found our best side, and most importably made our photos look like we had years of practice in front of a camera. Once we received our wedding photos we had people ask us, if our ocean background was real. A photo is definitely worth a thousand words. I thank you Duane for our beautiful photos. Per usual, my mom was right. Our wedding day flew on by, just like that it was gone. But I will always have my beautiful photos to remember our day, and share with loved ones. THANKS DUANE! Love the Florians.

ections. Duane has very creative ideas on how and where to take the pictures. Duane also edits the photos to make them just perfect. As a result, our wedding photos are amazing! If you compare the original shot with the edited shot, you see Duane’s genius. We have beautiful memories of a beautiful day. I am very grateful to Duane for his kindness and his remarkable photos!

l but Duane was easy, friendly and so wonderful to work with. From on the phone planning locations and shots to the day of tips and tricks, Duane knows his stuff! And made the experience less stressful. Thank you for making our special day spectacular and the great memories that are our wedding photos! These photos are not meant for just an album that you bring out once in awhile; these are to be blown up on canvas!!

idal party with an uneven number of guys versus girls. Duane was very patient and was happy to provide direction to myself, the groom and the entire bridal party in order to get the right pics. Duane was also very punctual and clearly an expert in what he does. We had a second photographer but he was more of an apprentice and mainly managed the Photo Booth, which the guests really enjoyed. I've seen some teaser pics so far and they look great, can't wait to see more !

r awesome engagement or wedding pictures!!!

and adults alike. Also, being from another country, I was extremely impressed with his timely communications. I never had to wait longer than a day for him to reply to my emails and we got our photos quickly also too. I wouldn’t think twice before recommending him to capture anyones special day.

ature about him, so makes it easy for all involved in the process. Thanks Duane, we will definitely recommend you to all our family and friends!

. Hritz

s attention to detail and he exceeded our expectations. He took the time to make sure that all the details in the background were perfect. We couldn't recommend Duane enough.

cess via text and phone. Before I even booked him, he spoke to me at length on the phone and made a tentative timeline for the entire wedding day, which was so helpful as I planned the wedding. He was very flexible about the engagement shoot - he traveled 2+ hours to come to meet us, and spent 3 or so hours on the engagement shoot. He didn't rush the shoot at all, and was very willing to take as much time as needed in order to get the shots that we wanted in the locations that we wanted. My husband and I tend to feel awkward taking pictures, but Duane has a great sense of humor and made us feel so relaxed. He kept us laughing the whole time. The engagement shoot pictures look absolutely fantastic, and we were able to use them for our wedding website. He sent us teaser pics within a week of the shoot!! Duane was also priceless the week of the wedding. He went over the whole timeline with me, making sure that I had time for everything on there. On the day of the wedding, he and his assistant were very thorough. One thing that is really great about Duane is that he will tell you when you're behind schedule!! This is so important because our wedding was jam-packed with things to do and we were ahead of schedule the whole day, thanks to Duane's timeliness. He has a great eye for scenery and lighting, and the teaser pics that he's given us of the wedding day are absolutely breathtaking! I'm so excited to see the finished album. I definitely recommend Duane - he's affordable, responsive, professional, and very talented.

en though it rained on our wedding day you were highly prepared for it capturing such amazing shots. We also appreciate you giving us a wonderfully priced package deal as well. Our wedding turned out perfect thanks to you sir. Thank you again for your kindness and detailed work. Don't think twice if you are looking for the right photographer for that special day just call Duane Peck he is the best in the business. Also go with a second photgrapher it was definitely worth it. Cheers Duane thank you!

ne and after reading so many great reviews and seeing his photos online I knew I had to contact him. I also saw he was previous "Best of the Knot" We spoke and arranged everything via phone calls and emails. I felt comfortable with that and he spent so much of his time on the phone with me going over a schedule for the wedding day. He made everything feel easy. He arrived the day of my wedding at the hotel on time, even early and went to work right away. He had suggested taking first look photos prior to the ceremony at Trump golf course because of the time of year and to ensure there was enough time and light to get all of the photos we wanted and he was so right. I also told him I wanted my dogs in some pictures and had no problem with that either. He had an additional photographer also, "E" and he was fun and great and had everyone in our wedding party laughing and did a good job making them feel at ease. Duane had a teaser gallery ready for us to see within a week of our wedding and all I can say is that we were blown away! The pictures are beautiful and I don't think a day has gone by that I have not looked at them and fallen in love with them each time. Everyone we have shared them with feels exactly the same way. Great job Duane we can't wait to see more!!

trano. The weather wasn't ideal for beach shoot so we took his advice and headed toward O'Neill Regional Park area. We received the photos about three weeks after our e-shoot. The photos turned out great! Our wedding was held at a county park in Orange County. Duane showed up on time for our first-look pictures, and stayed toward the end of our wedding (it's an outdoor, 6-hour afternoon wedding under 80 degrees of sun). We only saw teaser photos for now, but they all look candid and capture the right moments! One thing my wife and I both value the most for our wedding is being able to have awesome photos, and we are certainly satisfied and grateful to have Duane to be our photographer. He knows everything regarding photography, from lighting to locations, you name it. As stressful as wedding can be, he definitely lifted up some of our stress by taking the whole control and care with our photo shootings. Thank you, Duane, for archiving our most important moment of our lives! P.S. One advice for all couples: be creative! Duane is really open to any new ideas that you can think of.

ssionally guided us for different posts and directions. He captured the beautiful and memorable moment for us with the blue sky right after sunset. I highly recommend Duane to you and you can't get better service than that.

Duane was my photographer! A friend of mine recommended Duane and after a few phone calls and emails, I booked him right away. His prices are affordable and the end product/quality of the photos is amazing. He has package prices and adjusts them according to what you’re looking for (I opted for 3 hr eshoot, 8 hr wedding coverage with a 2nd shooter). At first, I wasn’t sure what to look for in a photographer but after a few conversations with him, I knew I made the right decision. He’s easy to get a hold of (both email and phone) and reassuringly answered all of my questions leading up to the eshoot and wedding. I appreciated his honesty and logical thinking when we were deciding between different eshoot locations. I loved how he gave advice on what colors worked best with our locations and even helped assemble our outfits the day of the eshoot. I’m very camera shy and didn’t feel prepared for the eshoot at all, but Duane knew what poses to do and our pictures turned out beautiful. I was so impressed! We received all of the photos on a USB much earlier than expected, giving me plenty of time to upload them onto my website before invitations went out. Once it was closer to the wedding, Duane helped finalize my timeline and arrived early the day of the wedding. The schedule was one less thing to worry about; not only were we ahead of schedule, but Duane helped us stay on track while taking all the photos needed. He was calming, professional, had patience, and stayed with us the majority of the wedding. Duane is an experienced, talented photographer who is affordable, flexible, and easy to communicate with. He has a vision, takes charge, and captures moments beautifully. I would recommend his services to any bride-to-be!

re taking photos, and helped make the day less stressful. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer as he is easy going, dependable, and does great work! Thank you Duane!

d the most amazing sunset pictures. Thank you so much Duane - you're amazing! We can't wait to see the rest of the photos :)

he the wedding, he was great at coaching my camera-shy husband through the photos. Highly recommend him for weddings!

his work, we booked him and could not have made a better decision! Duane is very easy to work with and extremely responsive via email. We just received our engagement photos back and we were blown away by the quality, attention to detail and color. We have had a difficult time choosing just one photo for our save the dates as there are SO many great photos to choose from. I cannot wait to have Duane be a part of our special day this upcoming year.

d will truly ENHANCE how memorable your wedding is. At the last minute, I needed to add an extra hour onto the time Duane was already scheduled for our wedding day and he agreed to it at no extra charge. Plus, his responses were always so prompt. It gave me serious peace of mind to know we were in such good hands. Duane and his assistant showed up on time (even a bit early) the day of, even though they traveled over two hours to get to us. From the second Duane arrived, he got right to work and took all the little detail pictures every girl wants to remember from her wedding day. As he has so much experience photographing weddings, he was super efficient with his time. After the ceremony, he kept the wedding party and our family on track, so no one was kept very long from the reception. I also loved that Duane showed us some of the shots, directly from his camera, as he was taking them- just to make sure we were satisfied. My husband and I felt beyond confident, knowing Duane was there- he and his assistant were in all the right places during the day. I know they captured all the important moments we wanted and more. I cannot recommend Duane enough. You will be in the best hands and will feel so thankful to choose this true artist! We will definitely be using Duane for all of our photography needs in the future!

eady able to see Duane’s amazing quality and skill as a photographer. We cannot wait to receive all of the edited photos that were taken by him and the second shooter E throughout the day! From our first contact, Duane was responsive and attentive to our requests. We planned our wedding from Ohio, so it was important to us that we could establish a high level of trust with our vendors before we booked services with them. Duane excelled at establishing this trust- not only with his professionalism and quick email replies but also with his competitive rates and beautiful portfolio of work. Prior to our wedding day, we had an hour phone consultation with him and he helped us figure out the complicated logistics of the photo shoot for our wedding. We had a lot of special requests including photos on the grounds of Mission San Juan Capistrano, beach photos, and photos at our reception location that was more than an hour drive away in Murrieta. Duane was willing to accommodate all of these desires and more. He also provided us with invaluable local knowledge like considering the effect of high tide on our beach shoot. The day of the wedding, Duane was right on schedule with everything we had planned. When our timing started running late, he suggested to send E to take detailed photos at our reception site, while he guided our limo driver to a stunning beach location just north of Laguna. Duane always kept a calm temperament amid the chaos of the day and remained patient at all times. He expertly instructed us how to pose in a way that allowed him to capture each moment beautifully. This is where his high level of talent and creativity really shined. There was also a moment where E showed my groomsmen a few of the photos he had been taking and they looked outstanding as well. We truly enjoyed our experience working with both Duane and E, and greatly appreciated their willingness to stay with us into the evening despite a long day with a lot of driving required. We would highly recommend Duane to anyone looking for a friendly, proficient, and gifted photographer in southern California!

hich wasn't the nicest, but he made those pictures look really pretty using the lighting from the window and the angle he placed me in. I REALLY appreciated that he would show me some up close photos after taking them to make sure I liked my smile and the way the picture looked. He goes out of his way to make sure you get all the shots you want. He is very creative with his pictures, and is very flexible too! He is very good at keeping you on schedule for your big day. His second photographer was very good and professional as well. They were both very personable, which made me feel comfortable and at ease. He is also reasonable with his pricing.

things about him, aside from his beautiful photos, is how attentive he is. Any question I had would be answered via email or phone call within a single day. He happily got us a photo for our thank you cards by the time we got home from our honeymoon which was such a huge help. Also if you are anything like me, not photogenic and downright awkward in front of a camera, you can rest assured that Duane will get beautiful, natural photos. Part of the time he was capturing such special moments without me even noticing, rather than being in your face, he faded into the background and made me feel so comfortable and at ease. Last but not at all least, his photos are GORGEOUS!!!!!!!! I have been so pleased with the quality of his work as well as his professionalism, Thank you Duane for a great experience and for capturing my special day!!!

just unexpected. Also, he is a very reasonable person as well. We booked Duane for our engagement party at home because I wanted to try out local photographers for our wedding beforehand and I am so happy that I ended up with Duane. First of all I had around 120 people who asked him for a million things, he remained calm and collected and nice throughout it all but at the same time he followed me and my family with all of the necessary things that he needed to capture. Thank you again Duane and we look forward to working with you for our wedding, engagement shoot and hopefully others in the future. You rock

e are far from models and so posing was both intimidating and HARD, but Duane took extra time to give us great instructions and make us feel comfortable throughout the entire shoot (not to mention his sense of humor is AWESOME). Our engagement shoot lasted about 6 hours, with 5 outfit changes and 4 locations. He was passionate and listened to all of our requests. Leading up to the engagement shoot Duane met with me and talked me through the entire process, was upfront about pricing and what came with each package, and showed me his gallery. He asked me to send him any and all examples of poses I had seen whether on Pinterest, my friend's shoots, etc. He was detail-oriented from the very beginning, even giving me ideas and suggestions of colors that would shoot well in various lighting and backdrops. After our engagement shoot he got us our photos (which he edited every single one he shot and he gave us ALL of them, not making us choose just a few) in less than a week! As the wedding date got closer he reminded me to send him examples of poses I liked, etc. He was, once again, very detail-oriented and asked for me to have things prepared that I would have never thought of and things that I can not wait to see photographed!!! The day of the wedding he was prompt, calm, and was diligent on keeping us on schedule! He once again made us all feel comfortable and pretty! He captured so many moments and emotions that truly show all the love and happiness of the day. It is true, a picture is worth a thousand words and Duane Peck helped to capture and put in a time capsule the best day of our lives. When we look at the pictures we are able to relive every smile, laugh, tear, and hug that we shared together and with everyone that attended our wedding, a day that seemed to pass all too quickly.

tures really capture the moment when he is taking your photo. Also, he gets inspiration in the moment depending on what you are doing and is able to make it into an awesome photo. For example, we were getting ready for a bridal party photo and the groomsmen were being silly in the background. He then got the idea to do a "photo bomb" pic. I love that about him and how he takes those moments and is able to get it in a photo. In addition, I didnt have a wedding coordinator so he helped create a photo timeline. From that timeline I based my overall timeline of the wedding day so it was so great to have his expert opinion in creating this. Lastly, if you have certain photos you want to take, he will really respect your requests and make sure it gets done. I gave him my pinterest board and he had all the photos saved so that we could take those photos throughout the day. I didnt even remember all the photo poses I wanted but he did!!! Overall, he is very skilled, a pleasure to work with, and is very easy to get along with. We were so happy to have him document our wedding day and our engagement photos.

d along the beach nearby and Duane did a great job of capturing a lot of incredible colors and really making the scenery of our wedding shots just beautiful! We really loved the shots at sunset, they were so rich and colorful! Duane was easy to work with prior to the wedding (we coordinated over the phone since we don't live in Southern California) and gave us a very reasonable price for all of the time he and his assistant spent on the job. I'm also glad I went with Duane in that he sent a flash drive with the pictures after he was through editing for us to do what we wish (versus other methods I've heard about from friends). I'm really glad we went with Duane and would recommend him to any of my friends!

o capture those moments. You want the best. You want Duane Peck. My wife and I didn't know how to describe what we were looking for when asked what we wanted in a photographer. We were searching for the right artist to capture our engagement and wedding photos...but how do you say it? After looking at dozens of websites, we landed on digitalstudios.org and knew we wanted more after looking through his gallery. We were impressed with his eye and what he captured. The lighting he used, the angle, the backdrop, the beauty...all connected with us...his pictures were the words we were looking for. We interviewed Duane at a local coffee shop. He brought albums and an iPad professional and we took over a large table with myself, my fiance and her parents...very cool...relaxed...personable...Just how we wanted it. His portfolio was incredible. What we saw solidified our decision to work with Duane so we took the next step. The word we kept saying after scrolling through our engagement photos was 'wow!'...Over and over again. The backdrop duane chose for us was the sea at sunset. Duane guided us on what to wear, where to stand, what to do...in a professional and calm way. Duane snapped over a hundred pics and timed the shots coinciding with the sunset perfectly. After seeing what he did for us with this session, we looked forward to what he would do for our wedding day. Sure enough, Duane's professionalism and calm demeanor was exactly what we wanted on that day. He arrived when he said he would and was ready to start. We didn't stress out at all working with him and his second photographer. Yes, a second photographer. Duane suggested this in order to capture more candid shots of me and the groomsmen getting ready, photos of guests before the ceremony, assistance during the family shots....and we're glad we did this. Duane focused on my wife....as he should. He captured those special moments of her and her mom, her bridesmaids and at First Look. The moments Duane caught of us before, during and after the ceremony were Amazing...Exceptional...Beautiful. Exactly the words we had hoped to use and are now true. There are a few pictures that literally take my breath away. If you want a professional that will listen to you, an artist with an incredible eye and someone with a gentle demeanor, go with Duane. You'll be glad you did. Oh...and all those awards he's been winning year after year? It's true...he's deserved of all those and more. Duane...thank you for making us smile and putting in words with your pictures what is hard to say.

Duane to photograph our engagement photos and special day. His laid back personality, passion, and talent caught our attention. We needed someone like this since hubby and I have zero photo skills and needed someone who was patient and could guide us and work with us...and this is exactly what Duane did. Guided us through the engagement photos and taught us multiple things so we would look perfect on the wedding day, and actually enjoy taking photos. Wedding day was on 6/11 and Duane was super patient with all the pictures we wanted to be taken, especially with my large family. He accommodated all the requests we had AND made sure that we were able to stick to our proposed timeline. I already got a sneak peek at some of our wedding photos and my heart melted. They are AMAZING and I want every bride (and groom) to feel this same way so hire him! You won't regret it. Thank you Duane!!!!!!!!!

idea of what made good pictures of her & I. He & his partner photographer, Juan, arrived knowing what specific shots they wanted (ex. windows, decor, notable landmarks) & even what times would be best for those shots. Of course, they did their best to prioritize our own wedding day schedule in mind. Juan worked more exclusively with the boys while Duane stayed with the girls. The girls appreciated Duane's professionalism & attention to detail. The boys enjoyed Juan's playfulness & patients for the best shots. From beginning to end, Duane & Juan continued to do an amazing job of 3 things: make certain not to interfere with but remain cordial to the guests, capture as many memories as possible, & take lots of great photos of everyone looking good & having a great time.

ork has been amazing and we are very pleased with the special moments he was able to capture. On top of all this, his reasonable prices were a huge help when throwing a party on a budget. Thank you Duane!

r photographers, we decided to send Duane an email as well. He responded promptly and answered all questions we had including more. We shopped around just to be sure all our options were covered and within our budget. Upon viewing his website, we asked to meet with him. My Husband and I are on different schedules throughout the week and he worked around our schedule to meet up which was very helpful. After meeting with him and seeing his work that he provided that day in albums, we were sold! After looked at lots of photographers and their price vs. packages vs. work/experience, I don't think you could find anyone that beats him! He was able to work with our budget and create a package for us including a second photographer (which I recommend to catch all the details of your wedding). Seeing the photos completed from our E-shoot, I couldn't help but say "WOW!!". We asked to do our photos in an area that he would recommend and although it was a little drive, it was well worth it. The detail and professionalism he puts into his work is completely amazing and we have not had any issues or concerns. Coming back from our honeymoon, we just received our first wedding teaser and there's even more to come! My Husband and I were so happy with the first teaser and can only imagine what the rest will look like when completed. His work honestly speaks for itself. It's very important to get someone that is confident and can work in any type of environment. I'm glad he stayed calm and professional as my friends and family can get pretty wild and loud:) After my sister had a wedding photographer that was asking them what kind've pictures they wanted, I think they wasted more time figuring out poses than taking actual pictures and that was one thing we didn't want due to the time constraints because believe me when I say, time goes by so fast that day. Duane knows his settings and seeing the outcome so far, I would definitely book him again in a heartbeat and anyone reading this should too because you will not be disappointed. We highly recommend him. Thanks again and again Duane.

his craft, he has a keen eye for good pictures. He had a wonderful assistant as well who was very fun to be around with. Definitely recommend getting a second photographer, almost a must! Would recommend Duane to any bride-to-bes out there!

They made sure all of my request were met and continously would let me view the pictures to ensure I was happy with how they were coming out!! He also gave us advice for the best places to visit in Hawaii for our honeymoon. And he assisted us when one of the vendors let us down, he told us how best to deal with their company as far as being very unhappy customers of the dj company. He was such a wonderful help when things seemed to be going wrong! Thank you again Duane for making our day better and of course te beautiful pictures!!

e was wonderful during our wedding! He kept my husband and me on schedule so that we were sure to get all of the photos that we would want. We received some "teaser" pictures about 3 weeks after our wedding and were blown away! His work is truly beautiful and you can tell how talented he is by looking at his photos. I highly recommend brides to look into hiring Duane as your photographer! His prices were outstanding and his work was even better. Thank you for the memorable experience, Duane! Your pictures will help us remember one of the best days of our lives!

to anyone that is getting married in southern California.

mera. He had us do some classic poses and took us to some beautiful places in SoCal that he knew of. Sure enough, when the photos came back, they were AMAZING. We were so happy that we found him and he did just as amazing of a job on our wedding day. Highly recommend Duane to anyone. He knows what he's doing and he's not over-the-top expensive like a lot of photographers in the area.

rices were in line with what we wanted to spend (more on that latter). I exchanged a few emails with Duane and then we had a phone conversation. He is very professional and knows his business inside and out. He took his time with me and explained what he does and how it works and answered all my questions. After deciding to go with him he wanted to speak to my wife in order to understand her needs and expectations for the wedding photos. Since we got married at the end of December, and were having an outdoor ceremony, there was not a lot of sun light. Duane explained how pictures in the dark will all have the same background, black, and recommended we do a first look in order to have more life to our pictures. I was not keen on the idea because I didn’t want to see my wife before the ceremony, but I am so glad we listened and trusted him as we have a variety of backdrops to our pictures with great lighting and they turned out awesome! The first look was very memorable as well because it was just me and wife and we were able to have a moment together to see each other all done up and that moment was captured together, face to face. Dune is very personable and professional. We did not meet before the wedding and met the day of. My wife was 100% comfortable with him in the room as her and the bridal party and moms got ready and dressed. He was very respectful and captured some great moments. He made time to get pictures of me getting ready as well. He has a great eye for photos and was always looking around for the right angle, backdrop and light. This is not his first rodeo and it shows. He understands timing and importance of pictures with specific people. I got my groomsmen and fathers fun socks that show their personalities and forgot to ask for that picture when we were all together. I mentioned it to Duane one and one at the reception and he asked if I wanted to get everyone together. I felt it was too late and dinner was going on and then it was going to be dancing so oh well, missed the opportunity. Twice later he asked me as he knew it was important to me and I said no, it’s ok. He must have mentioned it to my brother because he had rounded everyone up, got me from the dance floor and we got the picture! I am so stoked we did as it was an important and fun detail to capture. Duane is very kind and thoughtful and went above and beyond to do that for me, and it really means a lot to me. As I said earlier his pricing was in line with what we wanted to spend. But, let me tell you, the value we received was over and beyond. The pictures are fantastic; it is so much fun reliving the experience of the day and night. We put so much time, effort and energy into the wedding; it is really nice to be able to look at photos that captured the essence of the day. Also, we get fabulous artistic photos that we can blow up and print and put in our home. Duane is kind, respectful, personable, professional, knowledgeable, creative and extremely good at what he does. In closing, hire Duane, you won’t be disappointed.

day photos. It's funny when we were being positioned and hearing the words "remember you're happy", it didn't really "click" on how important those actions and words were until I see the photos and then it all comes together. I remember now when you had Michael bend his knee towards me and then you had me sort of bend and wrap my knee slightly forward against his...I thought, is this wedding day twister?...what are we doing. I see that pose now and how absolutely lovely it is. Thank you Duane...I really can't wait to see everything you captured. The black and white bridge photo is stunning." After months of planning inside and outside of your head, and just when you think you've got this, boom..the wedding day. All that over thinking you did about chairs, food, tablescapes just disappears, none of that stuff really matters on the big day. What will end up mattering, will be your photos. I didn't realize this until I saw what Duane sent over for review...simply breathtaking. I'm not going to lie, I felt a little impatient during the photo process, I just wanted to be a wife and party after all the planning. Duane has an excellent calm demeanor and can just bring you back to the moment, trust the process...you'll see your photos and have a better understanding of his magic. Thank you Duane...we are thrilled with what's been provided so far. Duane Peck Wedding Photography - Orange, CA, United States. Wedding by Duane Peck Wedding by Duane Peck

ring and we're on a tight timeline however Duane was very accommodating and made adjustments along the way. I was really impressed with his sunset photos. I received a teaser of my photos just a couple weeks after my wedding and they are breathtakingly stunning. I can't wait to see what the other photos look like. I'd definitely use his services again.

e, easy feedback, even suggesting what colors and fabrics to wear for the best photos and what to stay away from. His confidence definitely helped us feel at ease once we got going and even though we were nervous, the photos didn't show it at all! Needless to say, our engagement shoot was fantastic. In a photo world that seems to live for the "vintagey", slightly blown out shots right now, Duane's use of color and vibrancy was such a breath of fresh air compared to so many others we looked at. Also, he gives you a TON of photos, so the value was superb. We knew we loved Duane's work right away, but we shopped around just to ensure great value. Having looked at lot of photogs and their price vs. portfolio and package, I don't think you could find anyone that beats him! I think his work is better then many who charge twice as much. He is a total pro and he gets the shots. Coming back from our honeymoon, we just received our wedding teaser album. We already have so many great shots, and there's even more to come! Getting to relive that day through photos is such a great treat after everything happens so quickly. When you see his images, his work clearly speaks for itself, but one thing that is also really important on your big day is how calm and professional he is. I had quite a few people comment on how confident and professional he was, and everyone loved that he could get the large group shots in one or two clicks. The man knows his settings folks ;-) Seeing the outcome, I would definitely book him again in a heartbeat and anyone reading this should too :-)!!

ighly recommend him for anyone's wedding/engagement photography needs! Thank you, Duane! We love our pictures! Valentina & Roberto

appy that he did as Duane is a true professional. Duane's passion for photography is evident with his attention to detail and patience of getting the perfect shot. Duane was also available for any questions via phone or email throughout our planning process. We first had the pleasure of meeting Duane during our engagement shoot and it was great to see his creativity and style come to life. Prior to our shoot, we had a detaiiled call to go over what we envisioned-locations, wardrobe, and even color schemes. Needless to say, our save the date reminders were gorgeous due to the fantastic pictures that Duane took. Then, when it was time for the wedding Duane made me feel very relaxed to be in the hands of a professional with all of the feedback he gave me plus the excellent "day of" tips. We're very thankful to Duane and his team for helping us cherish all of our lovely wedding moments for years to come. If we had to do all over again, i would definitely hire Duane as our photographer and I also highly recommend him to all the brides & grooms to be.

pleased with all my wedding vendors but Duane is definitely the best one. He has an amazing eye for photography. He knows his subjects, lighting, and colors. Very easy to work with. Best price for the amazing work. If you are thinking of an engagement shoot, wedding, professional pictures, I would HIGHLY recommend contacting Duane Peck.

h us to get some great shots at engagement location and after party. I highly recommend Duane to anyone in need of professional photos for any important occasion!

our wedding and Duane's vision for the beach photos was spot-on and aligned nicely with mine. He also had excellent ideas for close-ups and romantic shots in different light settings and times of day. I am very pleased with Duane's work and highly recommend him to Southern California wedding couples.

s. We immediately fell in love with the bright, vibrant colors and put down the deposit that day. Just talking to Duane, you could tell how passionate he is about his work & we felt comfortable talking to him from the start. The planning process went smoothly and Duane was great at responding to my emails quickly. The day of the wedding everything transitioned effortlessly from the getting ready robe shots, to ceremony, to rehearsal and sparkler exit. Duane was awesome from start to finish! He thought of some creative shots at all of our locations. My husband and I would recommend Duane 100%. We love our photos and hope to work with him again in the future!

many people cheap out on their pictures and regret it. We could not be happier with our decision to chose Duane as our photographer. He did both our engagement pictures and pictures for the wedding. I’m one of those people who isn’t totally comfortable in my own skin so I don’t have many pictures of myself that I like. Duane did an awesome job helping us look our best for each picture and after our engagement shoot I had 300 pictures of myself that I liked! The wedding pictures are the same, these aren’t just “oh that’s a good picture” these are “fantastic, couldn’t be better” pictures. Seriously, stop looking, this is the photographer you want, now I need to come up with more excuses to hire him for things.

even created a timeline that I gave to my wedding coordinator to make sure we had enough time for photos. And on the day of the wedding, he was there early! During the wedding he was relaxed, flexible and went with the flow. Him and his assistant helped guide us through the posed shots but also took the most amazing candids throughout the day. And he has great attention to detail - I loved our pictures!! Duane is great at what he does. I loved that he looks through his pictures after taking them to make sure he got "the shot". He really does want you to be happy with the final pictures. Thanks so much Duane!
