Save your time & your money, find anyone else to go through. The photographer I had on my wedding day was breanna, she was nice & professional sounding. She seemed to be more of a landscape & object photographer, not a portrait/ person photographer based on the photos taken. She did not give us very many poses to do though other than standing still & walking which I was not expecting. I would have liked to have had other poses besides the typical “prom” photos for my big day. She would ask us what we wanted to do but I had other things to plan other than what poses I would be doing, I had assumed they would come prepared with poses. I got into contact with “Jessica” to ask when the photos would be ready to get an estimated time frame. She claimed it would be 8-14 weeks to get the edited finalized photos & I could get a “sneak peak” of the unedited photos the the week of the wedding. It took over a month to get the sneak peak unedited photos I noticed that a lot of the photos of just me & my husband were taken at sunset however, the pictures were taken with the sun directly in the background so his face is cut out of a lot of the photos by the sun. I had assumed that the editing of the photos would fix the terrible lighting issues. It did not. His face is not in a lot of our wedding photos!! I also thought they would edit out blemishes, smooth the skin, maybe even whiten the teeth since the editing was taking so long. All they did was put a filter over the photos, making them all extremely blurry & called it “editing”. I had a bruise on my arm that I hoped they could edited out but they didn’t, they added a filter that seemed to enhance the bruise color. I emailed Jessica asking if there were more photos to be sent because we noticed a lot of the main “wedding” type photos were missing, such as a photo of our hands & rings close up. She said I needed to go through all the photos & find the number of the picture & give it to her in order to get them. Jessica also had a lot of excuses as the why it was taking so long for the edited photos because it was well over the 14 weeks I was promised. Overall I do not recommend booking this company for any event you have planned. It would honestly be the same, maybe even better to take photos on an iphone & add a filter to the pictures.
Brides Beware! While my Unique Wedding & Events may seem like a good deal for those looking for a lower cost photographer, the work is not worth any money really. If someone you know has a nice camera (or even a phone with a good camera) the photos will be comparable to what we got. Our wedding experience with them was a total nightmare luckily we did not let it ruin our big day. Jessica is the owner of this business and also the one to photograph our wedding day. This is a long review but goes over everything that went wrong.
We started with a first look between me and my husband and after while we were getting the rest of the bridal party together I introduced myself to Jessica, the response I got back from her was a short "Hi.". There was no "Congratulations" or "Happy Wedding Day" just a short "hi" with some attitude behind it like she didn't want to be there. We got married the Sunday of memorial day weekend so maybe she was missing out on something by being there but we booked her well in advance so the date should not have been a surprise to her. I didn't let it bother me because I didn't want to get upset before the ceremony even began. So we start taking bridal party photos thinking that she will be posing us or calling out the groups of people she wants next but she kept looking to me and my husband asking us "what else do you want" or "what other poses do you want". We had figured that she has photographed weddings before and usually the photographer has ideas of what poses or groups of people they want so we didn't do much research on specific poses. She sends you a "photo checklist" to fill out prior to your wedding day with different styles that you want but I doubt she even looks at it. I had specifically NOT selected the "Natural Portraiture (traditional posed photography, subjects facing camera)" because I feel like they always look too stiff yet looking at all of our photos that is all we got. At one point she had us on a hill directly in the shadow of a palm tree so all of those photos have a huge shadow on them. We had to ask her to move to a nicer location in the venue because there were a lot of pretty places to take photos but she put us in the worst location. We got back our wedding video which came out nice but out of all of the unedited photos we had maybe 4 or 5 photos that we liked. It also took 17 weeks for her to "edit" the photos when really all it looked like she did was use a filter to brighten some of the pictures. I have attached photos below to show the difference between the edited photos and unedited. I also included a screenshot from one of the wedding videos of the face Jessica was making the whole time she was there.
Save your money and go with a different company. We will be taking 1 year anniversary photos with a different photographer to make up for the lack of wedding photos we will have.
There work is crap..I shoot better videos with my iPhone ,,my wife keeps calling and emailing and no response we called from my phone and they picked up.when we told em who we were they hung up and didn’t pick up..STAY AWAY
My husband and I are very pleased with My unique wedding and events! We got a package with a videographer , photographer and photobooth, all under $2,000. They're very professional and very nice! Jessica was fun to work with! They arrived on time and left when they were due to. I would hire them again and would definitely recommend them to friends and family!! We can't wait to see our photos!
Going with My Unique Event turned out to be a great decision for us. As most brides do, I scoured the internet for weeks trying to find a photographer for my wedding. I started to get nervous when I saw some of the prices these companies charge, but then I ran across My Unique Event. I immediately thought that it was too good to be true. Their worked looked amazing and the prices were very affordable.
So I decided to give them a call to set up a consultation. I approached it with a bit of skepticism because of the low prices, and I also read that there were some lengthy wait times in a couple of reviews. During our meeting Jessica addressed all of my concerns and really impressed me with her presentation. She communicated with me very well leading up to the wedding and also made sure to keep me in the loop while waiting for our final edits to be done. We got our pictures in the time she stated and I must say that they all came out great! So many memories were captured beautifully and I couldn't't be happier. Thank you My Unique Event for coming through for us!
We live in Hawaii we're planning out wedding in San Diego. Planning from so far away is a lot more work than I thought. I stumbled upon My Unique Event on a few wedding websites and thought I would give it a try. Jessica got back to me right of way and reserved our date. Fast forward to our wedding day 07/15/17. Klaudia was our photographer for our ceremony and reception. She is amazing!! You can tell when someone truly loves what they do and she most definitely does. Klaudia exceeded our expectations. She was professional, sweet, and so much fun to work with. The list could go on! I highly recommend working with her and My Unique Event. We received a few teaser pictures and they turned out absolutely gorgeous. We can't wait to see the rest.
Absolutely terrible customer service by this business. We should have known better at the beginning of the process when consultations were held in a Starbucks in Corona, when the event was taking place in San Diego and they advertise as a San Diego Wedding Photographer. This business is one of the most unprofessional businesses I have ever done business with. We used My Unique Event for our wedding in August of 2016 in Coronado, CA. We booked the diamond package (photography, videography, DJ, photo booth, and day of coordinator) and extended our photography to 8 hours. Jessica stresses the importance of filling out all of her paperwork so they can be sure and have our event go smoothly. They didn’t even follow the “must have” photos that we methodically planned out, therefore I don’t have any pictures with my grandparents. The lady running the photo booth was extremely rude. The real trouble started after our wedding. We were told our photos would take 4-6 weeks for us to receive them. Our wedding was on August 4th and we did not receive our final products until December. This is completely unacceptable. If this wasn’t bad enough, we go to watch our wedding video, pop it into the DVD player and the video starts halfway through our ceremony. No intro, no music, no titles, nothing. Besides being out of order, the video was very poorly shot and edited. We brought our concerns to the attention of Jessica and she was apologetic and said they would make it right. We were refunded $200 for the video and was told on December 7th 2016 that we would receive a corrected video, still have not received one as of June 1st, 2017. We received our refund in late December/early January and thanked Jessica in an email. In the same email we asked when we could expect the corrected video, and we have yet to hear anything back 4 whole months later. For an event that is supposed to be remembered as the best day of your life, this company has sure left a bad taste in our mouths. I wish we would have never given them any of our money, or perhaps should have paid what the services were really worth, which was nothing close the $4000 price tag. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
We went with My Unique Wedding & Events primarily because of the package deal they offered. It was a lot more cost efficient to book our photographer, DJ, and photobooth all through the one vendor. Jessica was a great photographer, very kind, friendly, thoughtful! and a few of our guest commented on how great the DJ was. They were very thorough in our timeline, and even little details like making sure our names were pronounced correctly. Prior to our wedding, we met with Jessica and she gave us the amazing idea for a bubble exit and we couldn't be more thrilled at how that came out.
We thought we had made the right choice with Jessica as our photographer but when our wedding day came they sent someone that could barely speak English, we had no pictures of my husband and I alone. After our wedding I asked when we would get pictures since our contract said 4-6 weeks she said that was the time frame when I did my contract and now it would take longer. It took almost 12 weeks to get our pictures back and they were horrible not to mention her communication was horrible and she was not very friendly! Stay away!
When I first came across MyUnique Wedding and Event I thought it was too good to be true. To be honest, up until the day of the wedding I had my doubts. But planning on a budget I took a leap of faith and hired them as my photographer, dj, day of wedding coordinator, videographer, and Photo Booth.
After working with them they could have charged me double what I paid, and I would gladly pay it. They are professional, on time, and you can tell they work a lot of weddings. Jessica and Starla stole the show. Starla (who I am probably spelling her name wrong) was incredible and helped everything run smoothly from start to finish. If I ever have another large event, I will absolutely be hiring them again.
Ok, so let me just start by saying a rarely leave reviews, but after receiving such great service from My Unique event I was compelled to share my story. When my wife and I decided to have a wedding we knew that we would have to cut some corners because we didn’t have a huge budget like most people. However, photography and DJ was very important to us and we did not want ugly pictures and a corny/boring dj for our reception. We spent a few weeks shopping and searching but everything we wanted seemed to be a bit too expensive (especially photography!!). One day I was on google and found My Unique Event. When I saw the site it almost looked too good to be true. The quality of the photos and the price just didn’t match. But, I went ahead and contacted them anyway just to see what they are all about. I was impressed from the start. I sent an email to them and they replied to me almost immediately. Jessica gave me a call to address my questions and to let me know more about the packages, etc. We eventually had a consultation to go over details for the dj service and photography. The team was VERY professional and helpful. When you talk to them you get the sense that this is just what they do, they are very knowledgeable. On the day of the event they knocked it out the park! Claudia photographed for us and captured some great stuff. Even the small details such as getting ready, decorations, interacting with guest.. it was all captured beautifully. When we showed our pictures to our friends, the first thing they ask is “how much did you guys spend on this” because it looks like we dropped $5000 on pictures, but we literally paid a fraction of that lol. The DJ was very fun and professional as well. We danced all night. Everything moved along without any problems. My unique event did a fantastic job and I am very happy that I found them. I know people that paid triple the price of what we paid and did not get what we got. Great service, Great value, great find!!
Our photographer, Jessica Smith, that we had met with and gone over everything we wanted with, flaked out on our wedding at the last minute and sent an amateur in her place. She was also not very apologetic or accommodating about this situation. We ended up with horrible quality and angled photos, none of the filters or styles that we wanted and pictures that were unflattering. They also got like only 2 photos of my husbands parents. Now, I understand that they say they are not responsible if you don't point everyone out to them but COME ON! Have a little foresight in getting at least immediate family. Our photographer kept asking us what we wanted to do next pose wise. I'm sorry but I don't think that it should be on the bride and groom to figure all that out on the spot. I can honestly say that as a bride, I didn't feel beautiful in any of my wedding photos. Thank God we did a hashtag because our friends took beautiful photos on their phones that were way better. All we got for our money were terrible photos that came in an unmarked, unlabeled package and dvd. So upset with this company. Literally every photo of me was angled straight up at my chin. So ugly. After seeing how bad the photos were I sent a nicely worded email to Jessica to let her know that we were unhappy and give her a chance to respond before posting my reviews. She never even bothered to respond. If you are trying to save money on photography you are better of paying a friend to do it. We payed $800 for no reason. Do not use this company, they don't care about you.
Norris and his team from My unique wedding and events photographed my engagement and wedding--he did a fantastic job. He is very detailed oriented and personable making us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the process and in front of the camera. He made sure to keep in contact with me often to talk about what I wanted during my sessions. The photos captured many moments I want to hold onto. There were even moments I didn't get to witness which Norris was able to capture. I'm extremely grateful that he was so thoughtful in every single way. They were better than I could ever imagine. Thank you
We hired Jess from my unique wedding and event as our photographer for our wedding. She was an absolute joy to work with. I loved how creative and flexible she was and the final pictures we received were amazing. Also, their customer service is remarkable. Anytime I call they answer the phone, emails are always returned almost immediately! Great work from this team!
My Unique Events team is amazing! We chose them for our wedding and we were lucky to have found such an incredible photographer. We knew the memories of our wedding were once in a lifetime and we wanted to capture them on our special day, My Unique's team helped make it very special. the vision of his pictures were awesome. things I would never have thought of so we are beyond pleased with his talent, professionalism, and his responsiveness to the emails I sent to him. Norris is your ideal photographer and the guy you need for all your special events.
I reached out to "My Unique Wedding & Event Photography" for my sister's wedding this past year, and oh my - these guys blew it out of the park. Photography at any event is important, not just weddings. But to have a team that can capture the groom leaning in to kiss the bride at that perfect moment in time, and making it a beautiful black and white to bring out the love in the picture, is extraordinary.
Perhaps that is what surprised me the most about the photography company - they thrive off of making sure your moments get captured in the most impeccable way. They are affordable, professional, and flexible. My sister is an extremely hard person to please, but boy, she was pleased with these guys!
Sometimes, events in our lives are so so so rare that we must make sure they are captured so that they will never be forgotten, and will always be tangible at the touch of our fingertips. Not only do they do photography, but event designing as well. Gosh - so many options all from one extraordinarily talented team of individuals who work to make that your event goes above and beyond your expectations (speaking from experience here)!
We hired My unique to do the photography for our wedding last November. I knew that pictures were extremely important to my wife but most of the other photographers we looked at were very expensive. When we found my unique I thought the price and quality was too good to be true. Im so glad we went with them. Jess was a pleasure to work with and captured soo many great shots of our wedding. A+ work. Highly recommended. I wish I could give them 10 stars!!!
