Yellow paddle was a wonderful company to work with! I love the wide offering of photographers to chose from as well as the cost effectiveness! I really didn’t think we needed two photographers but it was so cost effective to do so and I’m so glad we did! We got to capture so much more and from more perspectives than one which was a big blessing! Huge shoutout to Clyde and Santana. Those were our photographers and both were incredible! They were so friendly and funny and their work was excellent! They were the best and I’d highly recommend both of them to anyone!

We had the best experience with Rachel during our engagement shoot and knew that she would make our wedding experience just as great! The pictures from our engagement shoot turned out great and we cannot wait to see our wedding photographs! The attention to detail and desire to give us the best pictures to remember our special day by was top notch!
Yellow Paddle was great to work with. Amanda was very responsive anytime I reached out with a question about the process or my portal account. Great value for the money!

Our experience with Yellow Paddle Photography was superb!
When our primary photographer had a family emergency the day before the wedding, we were contacted by a staff member who immediately supplied us with 2 photographer's to choose as a replacement. Rosie stepped in last minute, and I have rarely seen a photographer work with greater composure and professionalism at a wedding! (I was a wedding photographer myself for 7 years).
Thank you to all the people at Yellow Paddle Photography!

Santana was AMAZING! Professional in communication before the wedding to make sure he understood all the shots we needed, showed up early on the day of the wedding to check out the location and pick the perfect spot for our reveal.
Even when a groomsmen went missing, he helped us problem solve the pics that could be taken and took extra time after the wedding to get all our wedding party photographed.
He went above and beyond to make our day special and stress free. Plus he did an AMAZING job making our diverse wedding party look their best in the finished pictures.
10 out of 10 recommend!

Reached out to our photographer (Santana Garcia) after booking to schedule our engagement session. He was super responsive and came up with multiple location ideas to meet our desire for fall colors. The pictures turned out INCREDIBLE and the turnaround between photoshoot and album delivery was only a couple of days. 10/10 would recommend.

David L was our primary photographer for our wedding, which we found through Yellow Paddle. He captured so many great moments, we love our photos! We had a lot of disappointments around our wedding but our photographers were not one of them! They were amazing on the day and delivered a beautiful gallery!! Santana G was our secondary photographer and we absolutely love his work! He captured some amazing moments from our day and even got some photos on my phone that we got to look at the next day. We are so glad we chose who we did, and very happy with the price!

Yellow Paddle is a great company and we couldn’t be happier with the photos that we received! Santana Garcia, our main photographer made our experience excellent! He was so professional and made my husband and I feel comfortable and at ease from our first Zoom session. Autumn, our second photographer was fantastic as well. The option to have 2 sets of photos with different styles gave us wonderful results. We really couldn’t be happier with our experience!

Makaila R. was fantastic! Wedding photos were very important to us, but we didn’t have a super high budget so I feel so thankful that we were able to utilize a service like yellow paddle. Unlike other similar services, you are actually able to pick your photographer, which is huge! Everything went as planned. Our photographer was prompt with our initial video meeting and right on time for the day of our wedding. She made us feel super comfortable and we are very happy with our wedding photos! We already received our wedding photos within just a few weeks and the site yellow paddle uses to be able to share photos with everyone is great. My only suggestion would be to be able to hide photos that you don’t want to be viewable to everyone when sharing the link…but they’d have to use a different photo sharing service. I would recommend this company 100%.

Our wedding photos from YellowPaddle were absolutely gorgeous. We hired Santana as our first photographer, and Anna as our secondary photographer. They were both extremely professional, kind, efficient, and responsive. They made sure we got exactly what we wanted, and delivered an incredible product on time. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Greg and Amanda made our wedding day so special with the moments they captured. They were so attentive to detail and efficient at getting all of our family members to cooperate during photos, especially the little ones. Their photography style perfectly captured the beauty of our venue. We will now be able to cherish our wedding day for years and decades to come because of Greg and Amanda’s amazing gift!

Probably the easiest 5 stars I've ever given. If I could give more, I would!
Mark was incredible. He was very communicative beforehand, he made sure to make note of what shots were important to us, he arrived early to the ceremony but there was no pressure! He actually hung out and got some great candids of us BEFORE we even started getting ready!
He captured the ceremony perfectly, he got amazing shots of us afterwards, and even had the insight to pull us back out for some AMAZING sunset pictures.
His vibe was also perfect. Laid back, funny, but extremely passionate about his art and committed to capturing the best moments of the whole night.
Truly - I would recommend Mark 100 out of 100 times.

Where do I even begin? When we purchased Yellow Paddle's 1.5 photographer package, I was already over the moon. Having a second shooter, even for part of the day, was something I never dreamed I could afford, and it was so exciting to find a photography vendor where the pricing was so readily available. It's almost impossible to quantify the ways that Lan and Mike contributed to our day, and I am still in shock at how much I paid for how much we got.
Yellow Paddle let us peruse all of their available photographers for our wedding date, and aside from how much we loved Lan's portfolio, there was also so much in his biography that resonated with us as a couple. From the moment we met Lan at our (incredibly well-priced) engagement session, we knew we had hit the nail on the head. Talking to him was easy, we shared tons of common interests, and despite both feeling very awkward in front of a camera, Lan captured our love and excitement with such intimacy and authenticity.
Because of the connection we built at our engagement session, welcoming Lan into our getting-ready spaces was much more like greeting an old friend than meeting a wedding vendor. We didn't get to choose our second shooter with the 1.5 photographer package, but Mike was also an invaluable part of our day. My husband mentions frequently that Mike helped put him at ease just before our first look photos when he was feeling his most nervous. Lan and Mike worked well with each other, too; there wasn't any tension or stepping on each other's toes.
When we got our gallery back (far sooner than the expected delivery date), we were in absolute awe. Lan and Mike delivered far above and beyond what we had ever dreamed of receiving when we started planning our wedding, and frankly above and beyond what we even expected based on Yellow Paddle's pricing/package details. From the staged family photos and accessory shots to the candids of guests and private moments between my husband and me, Lan and Mike truly captured the warmth, intimacy, love, and connection we felt throughout our special day. I am so excited to get to enjoy our photos for years and years to come. I cannot possibly recommend Yellow Paddle, and SPECIFICALLY Lan Vo, strongly enough for your wedding day.

We worked with Bobby, and he blew all of our expectations right out of the water! Fun, great with all of our family and guests, wonderful shots, and he really captured the things we said were most important SO beautifully. Would 10/10 recommend Bobby, and working with YellowPaddle in general, to anyone looking for great wedding photography on a slightly more accessible budget. YellowPaddle's communication and portals guided us through the whole process effortlessly and proactively, and we were truly delighted with the photos we got for our investment. We had previews two days after the wedding and full edited album about two weeks later. Hands down, no reservations, go with YellowPaddle / Bobby. :)

Our photographer was Maggie M. She took amazing pictures. We didn't really know what pictures we wanted and we didn't have a list. We just talked to her over the phone and told her we didn't want our wedding to end up being a photo shoot and she figured it all out. She took a brief few moments for some family photo's and then she just took incredible candid shots the rest of the night. Perfect. The pictures are also perfect. Thanks Maggie, Dave & Susan Hakes

Pick Alex T!!! The price for the package was the best I’ve seen around. I had one photographer for my engagement photos Katie E. She was great, easy to work with and her photos were lovely. I had to pick a different photographer for the wedding because Katie was having a baby around my date. So I went with Alex T., and let me tell you she went above and beyond! She did so much more than what I would expect a photographer to do, she helped keep me on pace with the day, she helped clean my dress when someone spilt on it, she pinned my dress when the bustle kept falling, and was always on top of getting me whatever I needed. She is amazing. Her pictures are stunning. I HIGHLY recommend picking her for your day if she is available.

Customer Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
— Yellow Paddle was fast and efficient with overall great communication. The company answered all the questions I had prior to the shoot and ensured a smooth scheduling process.
— Alice Guzman, our photographer, was professional, responsive, detail oriented, and really put my partner and I at ease leading up to our shoot.
Photo Quality ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
—Our photos were gorgeous and absolutely everything my partner and I were hoping for when dreaming of our elopement photos. The company said for our package, approximately 20% of the pictures would be creatively edited but ALL of our pictures were stunning and beautifully edited.
Photographer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
— Alice Guzman was so much fun to work with on the day of our shoot!! Alice was warm and easy to talk to and helped make our day perfect.
My husband and I were also clueless when it came to poses and how to best utilize our time for the session, but Alice is a true professional and knew exactly what poses would flatter us best and how to manage our time to ensure we got a wide variety of photos.
Overall Impression ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
— My husband and I absolutely recommend Yellow Paddle and their photographer, Alice Guzman, for any memorable occasion!!

We booked Yellow Paddle as it was highly recommended by the Knot. The price was affordable fitting our budget for the wedding, since we wanted to have two photographers. We had some issues with our initial primary photographer ghosting us and we moved the secondary to primary and selected a new secondary. We also had the new secondary cancel the day before the wedding and had to select another photographer to fill in. The primary we had at the wedding was friendly with us, however, it was brought to our attention that she was rude to our mothers when they asked to take pictures with a different background. We realized after getting our photos that having two photographers there were some moments missed and also felt that the quality of the photos was lacking. For example, all of the photos with the wedding party and family members were taken in the same area against a white wall in the venue's little patio. Our first look photos were also the same area. Our photographers also missed taking us out for sunset photos as well, even though they suggested them and we agreed we would want them. We felt it was a little ridiculous that things were missed because they required us to fill out a sheet with details about what we wanted and even met with us to double check on those details. Amanda C. (a part of the support team) worked with us after the event to address our concerns regarding both photographers and the quality of the photos. If it weren't for Amanda I would have rated Yellow Paddle lower than 3 stars.

Yellowpaddle seemingly did little else than connect us with our photographer, after that we only worked with our photographer. That said Ali was awesome, responsive to texts/emails and made sure we got all the specific shots we wanted.
Yellowpaddle on the other hand took their time with contact, our photographer actually reached out to us before yellow paddle had even sent us our checklist. Once our photos were uploaded it was almost 12 hours at least after Ali uploaded them before yellowpaddle actually emailed us, I saw them the night before we got any email.
Ali was 10/10 amazing fantastic and wonderful
Yellowpaddle was 3/5 for overall experience since their services were slow and did little else than connect us with Ali.
response 12/01/2023
Thank you for your kind words about Ali! We do put a great amount of effort into finding ...
talented photographers and vetting them so you know you have a photographer that you can trust. Our main goal is to connect talented, up and coming photographers with budget-savvy couples so that everyone gets a win. We also want to help support photographers to become their best in an environment where we can help by coming alongside them to aide in the administrative side and give quality control. We are so glad that your main contact was with Ali and that she got to show off both her people skills and photography acumen.
I apologize for any frustration you felt in the 12 hour delay between Ali uploading and us sending your photos. This is standard for every wedding as we take the time to verify that all the uploaded photos are correct sizing, order, and quality. Once we do that, we send them along as quickly as possible, but as you can imagine sometimes this process can take up to a day.
Thank you for letting us be part of your big day. We love being able to share in all these special moments!

We selected Yellow Paddle & specifically Mark W. to be our wedding photographer and the final product validated that decision. Even before we got his work we had supreme confidence in what would result, it is obvious that he is an artist. He asked us questions early to help us maximize our options and make great choices. His ideas about angles we had not considered really rounded out our album. His suggestions make it clear he has an eye for the unique shot. And as two that do NOT like to be the center of attention nor get our photo taken, Mark made us comfortable every step of the way. Mark was relaxed, friendly, professional and even fun to hang with throughout. We would select him again in a heartbeat (and you should too lol)!

The pictures turned out wonderful, but the best part was that he was extremely communicative and made sure he fully understood what we wanted and needed for the wedding. I would definitely recommend his service! He’s very charismatic and is great at setting people at ease to get great pictures

Yellow Paddle was a great tool to help connect us with our wonderful photographer, Santana. We were able to get a sense of his style through the portfolio online, and find someone who was a good fit without having to look in a million different places. He was professional, friendly, and super respectful!

My then fiancee and I connected with Yellowpaddle and choose Santana T to shoot our big day. Yellowpaddle made contracting easy & flawless both before and after the wedding. As for our photographer, Santana, he is the GOAT! If you want the best photos of your best day, then you want him. Our photos came out clear, realistic, vibrant, and warm - the man really has an eye like no one else. His timing is wickedly precise, too; he captured dozens of blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments for us. He's a true professional and his wizardry is outta this world. Thank you a million, ST!

I can't recommend Makaila enough! Not only did she take incredible photos, she also worked with us before our wedding to make sure we'd get the shots we wanted and executed everything flawlessly on the day! Look no further, you've found your photographer in Makaila... you can thank me later!

This review is specifically for Santana Garcia at Yellow Paddle Photography. Santana was amazing to work with! He was super nice, he listened to what we wanted and communicated well prior to our wedding so that he was fully prepared, he captured all of the most important moments and then some, and he even suggested some golden hour photos (which we hadn't planned on) and they turned out beautifully! We don't like the really bright editing style that is so popular right now with wedding photos, so when we found Santana's darker/moodier editing style (in addition to the obvious talent he has) we knew we wanted him for our wedding. Thank you, Sanatana, for capturing our day so incredibly!
(P.S. For those who are looking for a review of Yellow Paddle as a company, I personally have chosen to do a separate review. Please do not use this to determine your decision to choose YP.)

Santana Garcia did such a wonderful job on our wedding day! He worked with us and got all the shots we wanted, and he had excellent communication. He was super funny and kept the situations light hearted, which helped a lot with some of the stressful emotions. We are so thankful we got to have him as a photographer!

Everything turned out perfect! I'm more laid back and was appreciative of the ease of booking online through the Yellow Paddle website, was able to make a profile and didn't need much until the week before. But could make payments/pay early, contact my photographer if needed etc. Julia was awesome! Such fun energy and had the rustic, moody vibe we were going for! Loved everything minute working with her!

Working with Yellow Paddle was great from beginning to end! We originally went with them due to budget and moved forward with the 1.5 photographer package. I love that you can go through a bunch of different portfolios and choose your photographer. For our main photographer we picked Cassidy, but the day before our morning wedding we found out that, due to last-minute personal circumstances, she was not going to be able to shoot our wedding. Yellow Paddle was great with the communication on the issue, and we were given a couple of choices for our backup photographer. We were able to get in contact with the one we chose, but turns out, we chose wrong and on the morning of the wedding they didn’t show up… However! Our second photographer – turned main photographer – Kiddest, was there earlier than their contracted start as was able to jump right in and fill the spot of our missing photographer. As everyone was contacting the missing photographer and Yellow Paddle, Kiddest was going back and forth between bride and groom to do her best in capturing all the moments I was hoping to get. The morning continued, largely as scheduled, with only the brief disappointment of not having two photographers for getting ready, the ceremony, and cocktail hour / formal photos. Kiddest did a good job jumping into the deep end and stepping up to be the main photographer. After formal photos and cocktail hour, our next saving grace, Katie S., showed up. She came with very little notice after our chosen backup photographer didn’t show up and jumped right into the job of being our second photographer! She was able to capture some great photos and amazing memories and we feel so lucky that she was able to come! After the reception Kiddest and Katie joined us at a different location for more photos. They were both great to work with and I’m glad I had them for my wedding photos. Yellow Paddle worked with me through everything and was able to provide me a refund for the 0.5 of my 1.5 photography package since I didn’t get the time I wanted with the second photographer in the morning before the reception – which is the exact reason I wanted two photographers. I would 100% work with Yellow Paddle again and believe that they are professional and showcase great talent in all of the photographers they have available.

Santana Garcia did an excellent job both in working with us during the lead-up to our wedding and capturing perfect moments during the wedding itself. He was able to help us refine our photography wishlist and how the photography would fit into the wedding timeline.
On the day of the event, we refined our plan for the ceremony and peripheral events. He is very skilled at seeking out candid shots of everyone enjoying the moment. The ceremony pictures were gorgeous and truly captured how it felt.
Santana is also very skilled at setting up couple's shots and not only captured us together but as a part of the beautiful landscape our wedding took place in.
We highly recommend Santana Garcia for event photography, wedding or otherwise.

We booked Jesse L and Bryan B for our wedding and they were fantastic to work with! Jesse worked with us to get a vision of what we wanted our photos to look like and made it all work. They captured the moments that were important to us and left us with beautiful pictures. Our photos were available early which was a huge plus and the gallery was super easy to navigate and share with our friends and family. I highly recommend Yellow Paddle Photography for anyone looking for a photographer!

Yellow Paddle was amazing to work with! The company had an extensive questionnaire that covered all aspects of the wedding day. Our main photographer was Bryan, and he did an amazing job at capturing our day and was a fun, positive presence to have around. He also did our engagement photos, which turned out beautiful. He has a unique style that covered exactly what we were looking for. Lan was our secondary photographer, and was also great. Both of the photographers were flexible with changes in the day, which we really appreciated. Receiving and downloading the photos was a simple process, and they got them back to us faster that expected. We are happy to have tons of amazing photos to reflect on for years to come!

Yellow Paddle Photography and Jeff did an amazing job shooting our mountain wedding at sunset. We did not expect to get the pictures back after only 10 days! Jeff got shots of everyone having fun, nothing too stiff or overly posed. He made everyone feel comfortable having their picture taken, which was awesome!
