Being a middle-aged woman getting married in the era of social media and online stores, it was scary for me to connect with someone who could take photos and videos of my wedding. My husband and I thought that it'd be intimidating to use the contact page on someone's website but as soon as we logged into Karl's, we were greeted with a welcoming hello and we knew right away that we were in good hands. The chat led to a quick Zoom call days later and he patiently answered all our questions about the wedding ( it was also the first time for us to hire a videographer). He was organized from the get-go. He even sent us a Google calendar reminder a week before the wedding day. Our guests loved Karl like he was part of the family. He's very great with people and my relatives even commended me for finding a friendly photographer. We really enjoyed posing for him as this wasn't something we normally do but he just made it less frightening I guess. The most important piece I guess of our review is that we loved our pictures. They were delivered on time and the resolution was more than enough to do very large prints. Speaking of prints, he didn't upsell us a wedding book or prints as he gave us great advise to take the pictures to Costco ( we didn't even know they had wedding photobooks but they don't have printing anymore today btw) and get a huge hardcover book with 50 pages for a very cheap price but with high quality that possibly could be better than other printing places. Now I understand how photographers rip off their customers by selling them overpriced books that could be had for cheaper if you know where to go. That right there was one of the reasons why I recommend Karl to all my family and friends who are not only getting married but need a photographer or videographer. Oh by the way, our wedding film he made is also the highlight of my Valentine's night yearly with my husband. Dinner, drinks, and we rewatch the movie when we get home. Sorry for the lengthy note. The last thing I want to say is knowing how a wedding can be nerve-racking, especially for those of us who haven't done it before is you want the pictures and if you're doing videos to capture all the expensive things you prepared for your wedding day. Those won't look good if you're photographer is not good. I say and go with Karl so you can forget about the stress of it and enjoy your wedding day.

Our wedding day felt like a fairytale, but wow, it was also one of the craziest and busiest days ever! With all the hustle of getting ready in different spots around Temecula, tackling some surprise lighting issues, and a venue that was still in the works right before we said, "I do," we were definitely on edge. I honestly have no idea how he pulled it off, but he did!

From the get-go, Karl was like a breath of fresh air. Even with all the craziness swirling around, he stayed calm and collected, capturing every key moment with such care. His knack for rolling with the punches was truly impressive.

The best part? Our wedding video. When we finally got to see it, we were completely amazed. Karl didn’t just film our day; he created a stunning cinematic experience that felt like a dream. He beautifully captured all the emotional highs and sweet moments, making it all flow perfectly—from my husband's pre-wedding excitement to the heartfelt vows and the fun dance party that erupted later.

What really stood out was how he tackled the challenges of juggling multiple prep locations and last-minute changes, still managing to catch those dramatic moments we didn’t even realize happened. It wasn’t just a video; it was a lively and captivating story that we’ll treasure forever.

Karl isn’t just a videographer; he’s an artist who knows how to highlight the magic in every moment. He’s super down-to-earth and easy to chat with. We followed all his suggestions and more, which made working with him a blast. If you’re looking for a video that’s more than just a recording but a true reflection of your special day, Karl is definitely the one to call.

From the moment we reached out to Karl, it was clear we were in for something extraordinary. Our event was a whirlwind of chaos and excitement—think unexpected weather changes, last-minute venue shifts, and a guest list that seemed to grow by the minute. Despite the tumult, Karl was an absolute beacon of calm and professionalism.

The day started with a torrential downpour that threatened to put a damper on our outdoor celebration. With the venue in flux and the clock ticking, Karl’s ability to adapt was nothing short of miraculous. His innovative problem-solving skills came into play as he seamlessly adjusted his plans, ensuring that every shot was perfectly framed despite the ever-changing conditions.

And let me tell you about the images—each one was nothing short of spectacular and I wasn't expecting that many. We are talking about hundreds of magazine quality looking pictures! My friend at work was immediately envious as they spent so much more than we did and they got a 1/4 of the amount of pics we got. That was another reason my decision to go with him was validated. Anyway, Karl has an uncanny ability to capture the raw, unfiltered emotion of the moment. The photos from our day are not just images; they are a vibrant tapestry of memories, each frame telling a story that words alone cannot convey. From the candid laughs of our guests to the intimate glances between loved ones, Karl's artistry shines through in every shot.

What truly stood out was Karl’s resilience and dedication. He remained unfazed amidst the mayhem, ensuring that not a single moment was missed despite the chaos. It was as though he was able to freeze time, capturing the essence of our day with such grace and precision that it felt like magic.

His talent and professionalism are unparalleled. If you’re seeking a photographer who can handle even the most unpredictable circumstances with poise and deliver stunning, unforgettable images, look no further. His work isn’t just photography; it’s a masterpiece of storytelling.
