Reviews
We worked with SDL Creative Studios to capture our elopement. They did an amazing job! We loved our photos and video. They had a great attitude and were so easy to work with and were collaborative with us. They added such a special touch at the beginning of our wedding video as well that made it so meaningful for us. They captured so many special moments for us and had a really good creative eye for good shots to capture. I would recommend them to anyone and would definitely book with them again!
We had a small intimate chapel wedding, and SDL photography really came through for us and did a fantastic job capturing our wedding day. He was punctual, professional, and his photography skills were truly amazing. I loved every single photo. Looking through the gallery felt like reliving our wedding day all over again. The photos told the story of our small ceremony so beautifully, with every image coming together to capture each special moment and every meaningful detail. I am really pleased with his work and so grateful for the memories he captured for us. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and reliable photographer.
I was not able to use SDL for this event, but communication was strong and professional and I look forward to using in the future.
All around a great experience and very communicative. Would absolutely use again!
I will be contacting SDL Creative Studios again. My photographs turned out exceptionally well. I captured approximately 45 images, primarily due to the challenging environment that prevented my family and me from enjoying a seamless photo shoot. (Unwanted insects and ducks were particularly attentive during our session.) Overall, I am immensely grateful for the exceptional photo shoot experience.
WOW. Working with Kevin has been a dream. He is so professional, personable, and incredible at what he does. The back story: my original wedding photographer ghosted me, so I was in a scramble a couple months before my wedding! I found SDL on thumbtack, and I couldn’t be happier how everything turned out. Kevin arrived early, made my entire family feel so comfortable, and you can just tell he loves what he does. The photos are STUNNING. He was so communicative the whole time. I would hire him all over again for any event.
I am so happy I found Kevin. Be was ready to work with, answered all my questions and was very detailed during the initial consult. He was prompt for my event and took so many pictures, I can actually relive the entire night. I highly recommend and would definitely use his services again
Kevin was an absolute pleasure to work with for our micro wedding. He was kind, personable, and made everyone feel at ease throughout the day. His professionalism stood out as he gave clear, helpful direction without ever being intrusive. The final wedding video was beautifully done, and his use of a drone captured everything perfectly, adding stunning views to the footage. He truly understood the assignment, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend!
Kevin was absolutely fantastic to work with for my conference speaking engagement. He came with three backup mics just in case, and captured everything exactly as I had hoped, and then some. He is easy to work with and really talented at editing video as well.
I can’t say enough good about Kevin!! His personality and professionalism out does them all! Excellent photography and videography ! We are very pleased customers , and will hire him again!!!
Eric shot our engagement video and did a great job. EVERYTIME my fiancée watches it she cries! Thank you all for a great experience
Kevin owner of SDL creative studios is an amazing human being … not only did he do my engagement photo shoot he and his team covered my entire wedding !! Both videography and photography has been amazing .. my husband and I will always work with Kevin for future events. I can’t wait to see the final production from our wedding on 8.18.23… certainly will be posting. We highly highly recommend Kevin for videography and photography services.
I absolutely loved the lady who shot my family photos. They came out amazing
Great team. They were very professional and came on time to my wedding. I will recommend them to anyone I know that needs a videographer.
Highly recommend SDL Creative Studios! They were on time and very accommodating. Their 360 Photo Booth was the highlight of the party.
He was a wonderful videographer who shared wonderful highlight videos of the wedding as well as some beautiful photos of the reception. The original memory USB drive was delayed in getting to me so he promptly sent a new one to me that got to me and the quality was wonderful to revisit the wedding day again. I highly recommend Kevin because he does a wonderful job and you would hardly notice he is there working because makes it feel as if you are actually there in attendance watching it. He even picked up on some low music being played from a cellphone during the reception portion as well as some low voices being spoken as well. I highly recommend Kevin and hopefully some day I get to have him again for other special events.
I wish I could choose 6+ stars! Lauren worked with me and my last minute request. It was a pleasure to hire Seven Dollar Lemonade for my nieces 16th. Kevin’s photos are superb! Very professional, all around great experience. Thanks guys!!
The pictures of my bridal shower turned out wonderfully! The photographers were positive and approachable. And we received our photos in less than 2-3 days. Thanks again 🙏🏽
