    DO NOT USE

    I honestly regret choosing this photographer for our wedding. The entire experience after the wedding was frustrating and disappointing. We did not receive our photos or video in a timely manner at all—we didn’t even get our highlights video until 10 months after our wedding, which is completely unacceptable. Communication was also a huge issue. It took months of constant texting and emailing just to get updates or any sort of progress. When we finally did receive the first edits, they were incredibly disappointing. The editing quality was poor and didn’t reflect our day accurately. For example, my husband’s navy blue suit was edited to look almost black, which completely changed the look and feel of our photos. On top of that, the final product missed the mark creatively. I had shared multiple inspiration photos and clearly communicated my vision ahead of time, but it felt like none of that was taken into consideration. Even after going back and forth for months, we were only eventually able to piece together a new photo album package that somewhat resembled what we wanted. Overall, the lack of professionalism, poor communication, long delays, and failure to capture our vision made this a really disappointing experience. I would not recommend.

    DO NOT BOOK

    We hired them to do the video for our wedding back in May. They sent us a teaser, but we still haven’t received any of the actual footage. Since then, communication has completely stopped and they’re not responding at all. After looking into it, we’ve found that many other clients are dealing with the same situation. It’s incredibly frustrating and disappointing, especially when it comes to something as important as wedding memories.

    Do Not Hire - SCAM

    We hired them for our wedding photography in Monterey in May 2025. Leading up to the event communication was good and seemed trustworthy. We received a teaser set of photos a few weeks after the event. But as of Jan 1, 2026 we still have not received the full set of photos. We have contacted them multiple times by email, phone, and Instagram with no response. Completely unprofessional and would never recommend to anyone.

    DO NOT HIRE

    We hired DC Events and Design, paid in full prior to our wedding, and were told—both verbally and in our contract—that we would receive our completed photos and videos within 6–8 weeks. On the day of our wedding, we received a brief 1.5-minute video montage. Since then, we have received no additional photos or videos. The day after our wedding (8/23/25), Ernie and Fiona sent an email stating delivery would occur within 8–12 weeks and that previews would be shared within one week. Aside from the short montage that we had already received, those timelines were not met. On October 30, 2025, we received a general email acknowledging significant delays and communication issues. While the message expressed awareness of the problem, we have still received no deliverables, no specific timeline, and no meaningful follow-up. As of today, it has been 17 weeks since our wedding. We have also attempted to schedule and attend a phone appointment with the vendors (most recently on 12/19/25 at 1:45 PM PST), which they did not attend or respond to. Repeated efforts to communicate directly have gone unanswered.

    Scammed

    Ernie agreed to refund my deposit on 7/6/25 after I discovered the reviews of other couples not getting their photos. (He also promised if we stuck with him, everything would be fine. Glad I listened to my gut!) Initially, Ernie was responsive to the first two follow-up emails, promising to refund the money but stated he was not yet able to provide it. However, after 8/18/25 he stopped replying entirely to my many emails, and to date, I've never received my money back. I can't believe anyone can have the heart to scam couples on such a sacred event, despite whatever they are going through. My heart goes out to all the couples who fully paid and never get to have their images/video. I'm so mad for myself to be scammed, but heartbroken for them.
