Jessica R. says, "From the moment we began to converse about my wedding, I knew I liked this man’s energy. His character was so sweet and genuine and I could tell he loved his job. Photography isn’t just a job for him, it’s truly a passion and he wants you to have a great experience. His name “Your moment, my lens” is the perfect name because he truly connects with you to be comfortable to capture special moments of your life. I’m so blessed and thankful that I found this man here on this cite. When I began searching I was looking for a photographer for my wedding. He offered a pre wedding shoot and I was in awe of that. He does this to connect with you, get to know you, and make sure your big special day is what you always dreamed it would be. My man is a very serious man and he got him to smile and laugh and we had a great time working with Nicky. I can’t wait for the big day on October 6 2024. He’s already been so amazing and I highly recommend this experience with him!" Read more

S B. says, "One of the best photographers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Amazing attention to detail in each and every image. From lighting, image perspective, foreground and backround every image came out better than I could have ever anticipated. My wife and I initially began working with Rob and Shutterbug Studio when we hired him for our wedding. We found him to be kind, energetic and he blended right in with he wedding party. Nothing about our photography experience was overwhelming and Rob made every effort to relax us and feel comfortable which made every image come out even better. After we saw the pictures from the wedding we were more than elated. There was not one bad picture in the batch and each and every person and scene photographed came out great. We ended up hiring Rob multiple times for other work after the wedding for company pictures at holiday parties, head shots for employees and even some product photography. We’ve never been disappointed and he’s our go-to guy anytime we need any photos taken. " Read more

Yosemite B. says, "Jody is tremendously talented and simply a pleasure to work with. We were married in the woods and she readily adapted to all settings--live bands and dancing to serene moments of joy and reflection-- as well as to a host of children in motion. Her photographs were not only beautiful, but told a magical story which enhances our memories. Jody's presence was amazing and never intrusive. She had the gift of being in the right place at the right time without us noticing! In addition, by the end of all events, our guests wanted to be friends with her too! Her keen eye, gift at putting the story together visually and her wonderful energy make Jody a dream to work with! ~Yosemite Bride" Read more

There is a saying that ‘a picture is worth a 1000 words’. I love to capture the essence of the event. I just don't take pictures to collect a pay check, I love what I do and I have pride at my work. I want my clients to hire me for their future events and refer me to their friends and family because they love my work. Photos are all about capturing that perfect moment. And whether it's a Wedding, Birthday, baby shower, an anniversary or simply photos of your newborn, its moments like those which can be relived over and over. My passion as natural photographer, drives me to focus on images that are "in the moment", natural, and candid. ...

If you have run into Robert Kandell, then you've run into an excellent photographer. We've used him for professional head shots, and for a family reunion. Robert is quite the competent professional photographer. I like how he puts all the shots on a website, from which you can download. There's no part of photography that he doesn't understand and excel at. He's a nice guy too! I can't recommend him highly enough.

Jody is the most amazing wedding photographer EVER. There were so many incredible pictures – too many to choose from so we ordered them all! Our pictures were truly pieces of art, not just photos. Jody was very professional and walked through what was important to us before the wedding so she was sure to capture all the shots we wanted. She was great with the parents and grandparents. So many of my friends have said to me “I wish I knew your photographer when we got married, she did such an unbelievable job”. Her photojournalist style captured our love in every picture and documented the joy in our family and friends who celebrated with us.

Emily was a delight to work with, from booking through to getting our pictures ready. We met with her in person a month before the wedding to discuss our goals and preferences for the day, and Emily not only met those but captured us beautifully. My personal favorite is how she caught and sent us pictures of us kissing but also the moment immediately after a kiss, and she captured our love on the day perfectly with those shots. I can't stop looking at how happy we looked in our photos, and Emily’s work made it possible.
