Scott A. Nelson Photographers, Inc.

We searched for 3.5 months for a photographer before we came across Scott's portfolio. All I could think was: WOW!!! Every girl fantacizes about her wedding day. I started when i was 4! I pictured every detail, from the veil to my pedicure. It's funny, I still cant get enough of fantacizing and daydreaming about that day... It's in a month and 11 days! Our search for a photographer was specific: capture the moments so I could re-live that day over and over, and Scott's portfolio did just that for us and more. We are so excited and grateful to have him photograph our wedding. In our first meeting, he asked us so many questions to find our style. He even offered, actually insisted, on helping us with time management the day of... He's got so much talent and experience AND is so willing to share it; it's so nice and fresh. He is a genius with a camera and he's got a heart of gold. He is very prompt to return calls and emails. He listens to every word I say, is extremely curteous, easy to talk to, open, direct and honest, and he has great input. He is like a photographer+ planner+angel. We can't wait! Our next appointment is to review the times for vendors - he is going to help guide us what time to tell each vendor to show up that day. ooooo! One more thing, his printed albums are a MUST-SEE! They are amazing... They glow! I'm serious! I guess there is a special way he prints them... They look SO good. I never cared about the album till I saw his... I can't describe them, you just have to see them. I'll update this review as we go...

Scott was our photographer for our engagement shoot and he was FANTASTIC! We had a 2-part shoot at Laguna beach and both parts were great, we felt really comfortable just being ourselves and enjoying the park and the beach while Scott snapped away in the back. We didn't have many requests, but we did want some close-ups and Scott took some great close-ups from every angle. He also had great suggestions on poses and angles and his expertise really paid off because we now have beautiful pictures to show our family and friends. Scott also helped us prepare a slideshow of some of our best pictures with our favorite song. He even got his shoes wet and went into the water with us when we wanted to do pictures on the beach and in the water! We both really enjoyed working with Scott and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for beautiful pictures at a very reasonable price. Thanks again Scott for a wonderful session!

Scott is simply the best. He is creative, he is kind, he is fun to work with, he is super talented and he is definitely one of a kind. His work speaks for itself. When my Mom and I first met Scott we were blown away by his creativity. I cried watching his work online as it was exactly what I wanted my pictures to look like. And they do. He made me feel photogenic, which I never do. My bridal party were crying when they watched the highlight reel Scott put together for us. He is incredibly accomodating. I love his work and I cant wait to hire Scott for our future celebrations. Thank you Scott for capturing our wedding perfectly and making us feel beautiful in every single photo. We adore you! Love, Hara and Jeff

We were lucky enough to book Sean through this photography company. Book now- don't wait! I can't say enough good things about Sean. We were married Sept 17th, 2011 and just got our photos last night. They are AMAZING. Even though there was only 1 of him, he got every moment possible (several shots of every moment)- it was as if we had hired 2 photographers. He was everywhere all at once. The day of the wedding, Sean was super nice and flexible. His eye for artistic pictures and being creative (arranging rings on the invitations to show the names, etc.) is trully wonderful. We were also very happy with the turn around time of getting our pictures this soon after the wedding. From booking till finish, this company has been fantastic. I would (and will) recommend Sean personally to my very best friends.

Daniel and I would like to inspire you with what we found so enthralling about how Scott captured what was one of the most treasured memories a couple can have. To capture true emotions on a still photograph is rare; it is usually done when no one is looking. When time stands still and a look or a tender moment evokes a feeling that can be seen and experienced time and again…that is what Scott provides. We call it “Life art”! Not a posed studio shot but something artistic and emotional. While he guided us at times; his desire was to capture us just being with each other. It was like having a close friend taking the pictures. My finance and I debated on whether or not to invest in the engagement session. I can’t encourage you enough to take advantage of it. The pictures themselves left us breathless, excited, and eager for Scott to capture the big event. This extra session also set us at ease knowing all of our wishes would be taken care of. See, as a bride you have enough to worry about as the day approaches. Enough sometime to seek medical assistance, so you can see how concerning yourself about the photographer could be just too much to add to an already anxious situation. The few hours we spent with him gave him and us a sense for both of our styles. It also defined what worked for the types of poses and what direction would be needed on that day. But the biggest advantage was having that relationship before the big day. We recognized that Scott was able to bring out the best in us by treating him like a guest and not just a photographer. Our guests and family had so much fun with him at the wedding and we do hope to have many more picture perfect opportunities to share together. Honestly and plainly speaking, you cannot go wrong with Scott A. Nelson Photography! With warmest regards, Mr. & Mrs. Daniel S. Gurrola II

We started working with Scott over a year before our wedding date. Setting up a meeting with him at his studio was very easy! He was willing to work with our late schedule and was very accommodating when we met. My husband and I instantly fell in love with is work and knew that we had found the photographer for our wedding. Scott is very organized and will let you know when he is available. He works well with couples and helped us think of things we would've have considered before - such as sunset time and how weather will affect the bride's hair. His price range is reasonable, though his prices were higher than we had originally set for our photography budget, his work was MORE than worth the price!! He and his partner Sean are hard workers, making sure they take all the shots that are needed and requested. It was an absolute pleasure working with Scott Nelson and his assistant Sean Lara! We LOVE the results and our guests were very impressed with his work! Thank you

"I looked at dozens of photographer's websites before our wedding. The only pictures both my husband and I really liked were Jared's. We were certainly right! He did such a great job and was very easy to work with, it's going to be nearly impossible to decide which pictures to print up. Before we hired him, we read reviews that called him "stealth," because you didn't know where he was, but somehow he got all the right pictures. That was certainly true. When we looked at pictures taken by friends, there was Jared in their pictures, but we had no idea he was right there. He took such creative shots, especially with the infrared and fish eye cameras. I've already told friends that when they get married, I have the photographer for them! Christy and David

Scott Nelson is the best vendor you can possibly have. His professionalism was the best I've seen. He was always on time, and never failed on delivering on exactly the terms he's promised. For both our engagement sessions and wedding day, Scott made sure he captured as many pictures as he could. My husband and I actually got tired before our photo sessions ended, but Scott was still full of energy! We really admired his passion for photography. Scott's price was very reasonable for his skills and the whole package. We also loved his photography skills, as that was one of the reasons why we went with him. My other vendors actually told me how much they enjoyed working with Scott, and said Scott was the best vendor they've ever worked with. Scott also has a sense of a humor that even my guests have noticed! They also appraised him highly. Sccott's second photography for our wedding day was Alex. He was also very professional. He worked very cooperative with Scott, and his style was very similar to Scott's. In the end, we were very satistfied with our photos and both photographers. Thank you Scott and Alex!

Great wedding photography company. Very organized from beginning to end. We got Jared as our photographer and he took beautiful pictures. We especially loved the infrared shots, those looked amazing! Great use of various lenses and angles. We love our wedding pictures! Jared is a very nice guy, great personality. Very easy to work with. I will definitely recommend him and this company to anyone looking for a photographer.

We had the privilege to have Scott as our photographer for our wedding in April... and he was AMAZING!! He was very professional, so attentive, and paid close attention to detail. He truly has a talent. He was able to capture all the little moments and every last detail. We couldn't be happier with our pictures! In fact, I can't stop looking at them! If you or anyone you know is looking for a photographer Scott is your guy!!

This letter is for the recommendation of Scott Nelson. We had the privilege of having him as our wedding photographer in February 2011. After a long search, we came across his website and decided to set up an initial interview. After meeting Scott, we knew we had the right person for the job by his professional manner and obvious enthusiasm for his work. We were not expecting the level of service we received with two assistant photographers and Scott Nelson himself. When we had Scott take our ceremony and reception photos, we found his attention to detail and his ability to find great locations for scenery to be top notch. Our photos came out perfect and all our friends and family commented on the professional quality of each one. On the day of our wedding, so many aspects of our big day went astray (hair problems and our groomsman was diagnosed with cancer) from what was planned, we thought we were living in a nightmare. However, Scott was able to keep a sense of organization and professionalism to the whole event and that is what made our wedding turn out to be a success after all. They say that the photos are the only part of your wedding that you will see for the rest of your life, and since they turned out so perfect, we can easily forget all the rest. So it is with great enthusiasm, that we highly recommend Scott Nelson for any photography work that is needed.

We love our wedding pictures taken by Scott Nelson. He is a very professional and responsible photographer. He captured the precious moments of our wedding. One year after the wedding, we can always feel the touching moments from our pictures. Thank you Scott for making our long-lasting memory remarkable. Highly recommended!

Scott is a spectacular photographer and would not want anybody else to photo our wedding !! He is one in a million...

Scott was wonderful to work with, he takes amazing photos! He was really able to capture the moment.

Scott is such an amazing photographer and one of the best I have ever worked with. If you are getting married, you have to have him as your photographer. This is a no brainier. His pictures really captured everything perfectly. He blended in and took such natural pictures. Honestly, I can’t say enough fabulous things about him. Everybody raved about him, and my entire family has decided they are using Scott. He’s wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!

We were looking for someone who does a great job of the infrared pictures and we luckily we found Scott. We went to his office and talked for an hour and a half and I knew he was the photographer we want. He was very accommodating in terms of package flexibility and we truly appreciate this. :) My husband and I were in love with Scott's pictures when he shot our engagement photos at Newport Beach. He took many great shots and later, our friends and family thought the pictures tell our story and totally showed our true personality - fun, playful and of course in-love. :) Scott and his assistant Alex were our photographers on our wedding day and they were absolutely amazing. They arrived promptly (or a little early) on the day of and started taking pictures non-stop. From getting ready, bridal party portraits, family pictures to seconds before the ceremony starts - they did not waste one second of our time. They were right on schedule on everything he promised to do - I certainly appreciate his assistance in terms of making sure the wedding flows smoothly while taking amazing pictures. I just receive some sneak-peak pictures from Scott, and OMG, those pictures are simply amazing! My family and friends love them so much already and asked me if there were more. I can't wait to see all the pictures! Thank you Scott & Alex for your hard work. We appreciate everything you did for us! :)

Scott was easy to work, organized, and quick to respond to my questions. We got a great mix of photos, the more standard posed shots, artsy shots, and shots that truly captured the celebration. Scott has a great eye and we are enjoying reliving the night through the photographs. Cannot wait to start my book!

highly recommended! Scott did a great job covering the event and adding a artistic flair to the photos. you will be glad you hired him! -Dan

Scott was very professional and took time to listen to our ideas on what we wanted for my daughter's wedding pictures. He also suggested some ideas to us and they turned out to be the most beautiful pictures. He took time to get to know the Bride & Groom and made sure he was familar with the venue for the wedding and reception before the wedding day. He wanted to make sure the Bride & Groom enjoyed the day by taking some beautiful pictures without making the Bride & Groom pose for each one. All you need to do is look at his website to see how he captures special moments. His pricing is very reasonable and worth every penny! I highly recommend Scott A Nelson Photographers, Inc.
