    • Amazing, caring, professional, human!

      Greg made my proposal memorable. He helped me in any way he could to make a real surprise for my fiancee, to choose the right spots, take great pictures, giving me advice as I am not from LA and I didn't know well what to do. Greg spoke to me on the phone prior the booking and I felt he really cared , he spent time to advice me, he does his job with love and passion and he is very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend Greg! Thank you so much from me and my fiancee.
