Darryn St John Photography

After a lot of thought I decided to write this review. I am the mother of the groom, who was married August 2014, and was very disappointed with the pictures. I asked (twice) if I could give Darryn a list of photos I would like taken. I was told that he didn’t need a list, that he knew what he was doing. Well… missing pictures were grandparents, minister (a personal family friend), and groom’s sibling. There was also a lack of reception pictures. Additionally, there were not any pictures of the bride and groom with aunts, uncles, and cousins. Overall, the family was extremely disappointed with the photos.

Truly amazing! Darryn did an awesome job! We have used him for our engagement party, engagement pictures and just recently he did our wedding! He is very professional and creative! My husband and I absolutely loved how the pictures turned out! He takes his time and does a great job at capturing all the details of the party and what mattered most to us. Looking thru the pictures I can honestly say he did not miss a thing! He was also very timely. We got married on August 15 and by September 1^st we already had the images available to us online. He came highly recommended to us and we were very pleased.

I never write poor reviews, but I have been thinking about this for a while. Darryn was very nice to work with, but I was disappointed after receiving the photos. Very important pictures were lost and I felt as though he was not sympathetic. I was very upset by how he handled the situation. Wedding memories cannot be recreated.

Hired Darryn St. John for a wedding photobooth 9÷8÷12 and it was SUCH a hit! My guests haven’t stopped raving about what fun it was! I’ve been to several weddings that have a photobooth and most are the automated kind that just one or two people can get into and you have limited time with your picture. This booth was so different and such a great change from the standard kind. It’s a fully open area so a large group of people can fit in and there is an actual photographer taking your picture! It’s incredible! The photographer was so helpful and instructed people when the shot wasn’t right and gave all the pictures that extra touch. The props that were provided were great and my guests seriously could not get enough of it. On top of it all, the set up and take down was done so well and discreetly that they did not disrupt a thing. It was great. I would highly recommend using this company!

My family and I booked a portrait appointment with Darryn Mid-​December. It was such an amazing day, and we decided to do the session at Balboa Park. He was very cordial, relaxed, and we had a great session. We had our two children (8 and 6), and he was so cool with them, really had patience and a way of getting them to smile. He had a great email link that allowed us to see all of the beautiful pictures (more than 100 at least), and overall had a wonderful experience. We would go back to him in a flash, maybe in a few years!
