5 out of 5 stars - 2 thumbs up - 10/10 would recommend....however you best interpret ratings, I am here to give Shore Shooters all the hype!!
Upon Googling/shopping around for professional beach photography for a family vacation, Shore Shooters stood out not only in comparison to others in the area (pricing, packages, photoshoot details, etc.) but also by their fantastic work!! - Their galleries/blogs speak for themselves! The whole process from booking to receiving the full online gallery was SO simple and straight forward!...which is especially appreciated and relieving when completing at a distance, 6 months in advance!
The Process (lots of details, I know...but maybe it will save you some research!): ~ Booking is done completely online - I never had to make a phone call or wait for an email response. They provide an opportunity for you to share details regarding dynamics of your group, address of your location (so they can meet you there - how amazing!!), and a list of all the available dates/times to choose from. Once you submit that information, you are emailed a confirmation with your specific photographer's name so you know who you will be working with when the day arrives. ~ Leading up to the day of our photo session, I received an email 2 days in advance as a reminder of the session date/time and a message stating that our photographer would reach out to me directly 24 hours from our session time. Madalane reached out to me via text (which was super helpful vs. a phone call, as we were busy enjoying the beach and gave me a little grace in response time!), and was very professional but oh so personable in her communication! ~ The actual photo session was smooth-sailing and a lot of fun!! Madalane was a rockstar in ensuring there was no funny-business happening in the background of shots and was not scared to get dirty in the sand to capture the best angles!! She was on top of fly-away hairs and sand-buried feet to ensure everyone was looking their best!! She was truly amazing and so sweet!!...and not to mention, super efficient and made a lot happen with our group of 10 in approx. 45 minutes! ~ Fast-forward a whole 50.1 hours, and I had the complete online gallery in my e-mail inbox ready to go!! **Note: Our session was on a Thursday evening at 7pm in the middle of June...no way did we expect our picture gallery until the middle of the following week!! (especially during what I am sure is prime time for Shore Shooters!) This turnaround is so impressive and SO appreciated!! The gallery is super easy to access and share with others via the link they directly provide in the email message.
The Product: ~ WOW. Every single photo in the gallery is AmAzInG! These will be pictures we truly cherish forever!! A gallery of 135 photos to choose from is nearly impossible when they are all so well done! ~ The gallery is super easy to figure out/navigate when attempting to download to a mobile phone, computer, Google Photos, etc.
OVERALL: I will definitely ALWAYS recommend Shore Shooters Beach Photography to anyone/everyone looking for professional photography in any of the locations they serve!! Committing to booking and making such an investment can be stressful with all the things to consider, but I promise you cannot go wrong with this group!! Again....5 out of 5 stars - 2 thumbs up - 10/10 would...
Read moreWe have used them 4 summers in a row for our family photos. They do a phenomenal job in my mind especially with babies and toddlers. We have used Madalane 3 times and she is our absolute favorite highly recommend her! She does a great job with post pictures or action shots with the family and I absolutely love that. We went to several places on the beach, not just staying in one spot which I appreciate. I also like that you get to keep all the pictures. I Places only let you have a few pictures and then you have to pay for any additional but not with them. They have also been great about staying in contact and looking out for her weather and picking the best day of the trip even though I signed up for a specific day. I love the fact that they don’t make you stick to it if the sand’s gonna be wet or whatever reason. I look forward to seeing the pictures we have with them in the...
Read moreI have used Shore Shooters twice now, once in Siesta Key and once in Panama City. We have had such incredible experiences both times. Working with little children can be so challenging, and we have walked away with heirloom quality photos of our family. Thank you so much to Madalyn in PCB for being so accommodating with adjusting our dates/location since our Airbnb cancelled on us last minute. You made the transition effortless, and we are so so happy with our pictures. Did I mention everyone gets a link to download and print EVERY picture?! This company has the most bang for your buck with the absolute...
