    Awesome service and price!

    I could not more highly recommend Metin. He photographed my surprise proposal this past weekend. He offered the best rate, the longest amount of his time, and the friendliest service of any of the vendors I inquired with. With bad weather looming, he was more than willing to reschedule if needed. Luckily, the weather held and we didn't need to to, but his accommodating nature was very appreciated. He arrived 20 minutes early to ensure he did not miss the special moment. The photos themselves came out great and he sent them to us 12 hours after the shoot!

    If you want a friendly, accommodating, and punctual photographer look no further than Metin and Picaboost.

    Best choice

    We spoke to Metin while planning our wedding (about 1.5 years out) and he kept communication throughout and asked exactly what we wanted. We talked about the types of photos and the theme, he nailed it. We used Metin for both Photo and video, he was great. We had kids in the wedding party and after getting ready for hours, became a little cranky and his patience was unmatched. Our photos were flawless and there was such a quick turn around time! Literally 2 weeks after we had them and they are the most beautiful pictures. We also received a 5-7 minute video with music and a complete video of the wedding, smooth transitions, it will make you cry all over. Overall his work is fantastic and he is completely dependable, pandemic or not.

    Easygoing and speedy!

    Metin did an excellent job with our engagement photos. He was very responsive to our communication, and the photo shoot itself was straightforward and fun. Neither my fiance or I had many ideas for poses or what to do, but Metin did a great job of giving suggestions and recommendations. We ended up with many beautiful photos that captured our relationship and our natural way of interacting with each other. It was fun and seemed to go by fast and we ended up with so many beautiful shots. We would definitely use him as our wedding photographer if we were getting married locally. Thank you Metin!

    Amazing Photos

    Metin came much before the scheduled time decided with him and took the pictures of the banquet and stage. The quality of the pictures was excellent and the delivery was done on time. Overall I was highly satisfied and will be definitely hiring him again and refering his services to my friends and family.

    Great experience

    Metin was excellent for our photo shoot. He stepped in last minute when our original photographer cancelled. He came on time and was ready to work! He was professional, fun, and creative. He loves what he is doing. The pictures came back quick and there were so many excellent ones. Highly recommend!

    Great Videographer

    Metin was professional and punctual. He was fun to work with, provided us with an amazing highlight video that he put together from great video footage he shot. By the end of the day it felt as if we were friends. Metin made our day extra special. Highly recommend, and we will definitely hire him again for our next events. Thank you again Metin!

    Amazing, Professional and super comfortable to communicate

    We hired Pickaboost to take pictures and video for our daughters Bat Mitzvah party on 11/03/2019, Matin was super great with all pre event communications, arrived before the scheduled time to allow us to take family pictures and was amazing during the evening.
    Matin and his crew made sure to be there for me and kept eye contact to be sure and capture every moment that looked important to me on camera. I'm more then pleased with my choice to hire them. Our pictures were sent after only 2 days along with the video via email. I would like to greatly reccomend this company. A very smooth and pleasant experience! Thank you guys! Will for sure hire you all for any of our upcoming family events!!!

    Excellent!

    We weren't sure if we wanted a video, but Metin did a wonderful job. We're now super grateful that we did the video because our photographer sucked and the pictures came out terrible. If it weren't for Metin and his wonderful video, we would not have any good images of our wedding.
    He was also just a pleasure to work with, super flexible and responsive. He was also very discrete during the wedding, so we barely noticed the camera. I recommend him 100%

    Up for anything and very responsive!

    Metin from Picaboost was great! I used him for capturing photos of the actual proposal and it turned out great. He worked with me to plan how I would ask the question and how he could capture the best candid shots and then do formal photos. The pics turned out great and he was easy, fun and professional to work with. Plus, he got photos to me in 72 hrs! Would definitely recommend him and plan to use him again.

    Beautiful wedding photography

    Metin covered my South Indian wedding beautifully. He captured all the candid moments and also took focused shots of the various arrangements. Unlike the standard photos taken at most weddings, Metin’s photography was a little different and striking. I totally recommend him to anyone who wants to cover an important event in their life!

    Superb event photographer

    I have no hesitation in recommending Metin Yikar. I hired him to photograph my son's wedding reception party in Carnegie Institute of Science in Washington DC. He took time to talk to me, understand my expectations and requirements and did a fabulous job of unobstrusively going about his work during the party. The best part was that he had the pictures available for us in just a few days after the event and the photographs were all beautiful. I'm so thankful to have these memories captured so expertly.

    Exceptional Experience!!

    Working with Metin was a joyous, stress-free and professional experience from beginning to end. His communication and follow-thru far exceeded my expectations. Metin was punctual, on-time and ready for to make our family photo session a memorable experience. I appreciated his flexibility and professional, as he was able to manage various personality styles and ages ranging from 16 months to 67. His warm, approachable and friendly demeanor added value to our session and we love our digital photo package. I would highly recommend Metin for his quality work and passion for photography. Thank you again!!

    Not my slice of pizza

    So, I thought Metin was a really nice guy. However, his cell phone went off in the middle of the cermony. The picture were below quality. The reason is the peoples body parts were cut off, he did not allow me to see all of the photo's once i said they were not to quality. There were picture my family remembers being take and so on. I look like hell in the pictures, however, that was my own fault but I was very disappointed in the pictures, they lacked so much, also he didn't tell us if my clasp was showing, that my shawl looked funny, instead he just took the pictures, small details. We had pizza, and there wasn't even a picture of us with them. Its to the point were I do not care if I have them or not.
