We had such a wonderful experience with Sean! He was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. During our pre-wedding meetings with him we felt he really understood what we were going for and brought up a number of things we hadn't thought of. On the wedding day he was awesome with the guests and made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. Most importantly, we loved how the photos turned out and are so happy that we have such great pictures to remember our wedding. Highly recommended!

Our small, backyard wedding was captured beautifully in Sean's photographs. Sean made sure to get to know us as a couple during our consultation at his studio so that, on the day, we felt comfortable and at ease when taking posed pictures. He then skillfully blended into the background to capture magical candid moments with friends, family, my husband and I, and even our dogs. He had a way of making us feel like we weren’t just working with a photographer but a trusted friend and someone who would support us through our whirlwind of a day. Sean intuitively knew what posed images and candid shots best fit our personalities and hopes for our wedding. We will always be grateful to Sean for giving us the gift of breathtaking images that will assure everlasting memories of our wedding day.

Sean Mason is the BEST! All you have to do is visit his website to know he knows how to shoot beautiful portraiture, groups, and settings. His knowledge of lighting and framing elevates every photo to the pro-of-pros level. As a makeup artist in TV I'm very particular about beauty shots, and am delighted to report he exceeded expectations with our gorgeous wedding photos. His energy is low key, so is Victor's - together they make a great team, somehow capturing the candid moments while staying in the background. The sweet candid moments are really their gift. Such nice guys too. Sean does this all while staying professional, friendly and kind, for very reasonable rates! We got so lucky to have Sean (and Victor!) and will forever be grateful for our the wonderful memories, captured so beautifully.

Sean photographed our wedding and engagement pictures. From the beginning he was always asking what was our vision and helped us see it through. Not only did he pay attention to what we wanted (by taking our pinterest ideas and making them happen) he also made sure to incorporate his unique and beautiful style which is what had drawn us in in the first place. He communicated with us from start to finish and walked us through the whole process. In addition our wedding was out of town, and Sean drove to our location being prompt, flexible, and hard working the whole time. The turn around time was exactly what he said it would be and the quality of photos that we have received are above professional, some look straight out of magazines. We couldn't be happier with the results and relive our wedding everyday through our memories captured in photos.

We are very happy with Sean's photos of our wedding that we just got back as well as our interactions with him. From the beginning he really listened to us and took time to answer our questions and make us feel comfortable and confident. At the wedding, he and Victor, the other photographer, helped us feel at home and guided us through the process. They did a great job balancing everything and took amazing photos while blending in. He took the time to review the list we wanted and made sure that they covered everything from a variety of types of shots to specific shots. Really wonderful quality and highly recommend! It's important to choose a photographer/s that make you feel comfortable and help you get what you want and not the other way around and Sean and Victor definitely did this! Very happy!

I was married this June and Sean provided the photography for my engagement session and wedding. My husband and I couldn't be happier with him. We're both pretty shy people, but Sean quickly put us at ease and we really enjoyed the sessions. Now we'd like to take family photos each year. Sean is professional, prompt, and has a great eye. He was responsive to email and quick to answer any questions. And, he was flexible with special requests, like our photo location and desire for specific poses. He provided a great variety of images, including various backgrounds, poses, and effects (black & white, different saturations, etc). During the wedding, he was incredibly organized and did a great job of making sure we got the photos we wanted. And, like the other reviews say, he was like a fly on the wall (completely non-intrusive) during the ceremony and reception. We were also pleased with the photo slide show he composed for our reception. In addition to including our childhood photos, he provided a great choice of music and theme. When we received our final wedding photo DVD, we held a screening party with our parents. Everyone was incredibly pleased with the results. There was a mix of fun photos, candids, formal family, and artistic shots (my sister said that one segment reminded her of a Chanel add!). We would definitely 100% recommend Sean to a friend.

Sean was awesome throughout the entire wedding process. He really cared about what we wanted and made it a point to even ask "sensitive" questions to ensure our photo time went smoothly (ex. asking if there are any "difficult" family members that might not feel comfortable standing in a photo next to another "difficult" family member). He was such a joy to work with - and our photos were incredible! He really captured the fun of the day and the love between me and my groom. I would highly recommend Sean to any future bride!

Sean was great from start to finish. We booked him a year in advance. We accidentally overslept for our pre-wedding meeting and he was able to be flexible and shift things in his schedule to make sure we had our meeting. Day of wedding he was great. He arrived on time and began shooting right away. His assistant was also great. So far from the sneak peaks he sent us on facebook, the quality of his work is high! We look forward to getting our disk next week and we know if our album reflects the albums in his studio, then we will be extremely satisfied.

Sean did an amazing job on our wedding photos and was a pleasure to work with. Our photos were fantastic and he did a great job of capturing our special day. The fact that he is a great guy makes working with him all the better.
