"Scott was the photographer for my husband's and my wedding last year at the Monterey Plaza Hotel. His pictures are fantastic!! We couldn't be happier with the way they turned out; with quite a few pictures I didn't even notice he was there snapping the picture.

I have lots of our wedding pictures up around our house and we always get so many complements on them. I highly recommend Scott Campbell Photography." - Jordan D.

"Scott Campbell did our engagement photo shoot, and it was one of the most amazing moments in our lives! Not only is he fantastic to work with, he knew just how to put us at ease. We were laughing with each other and enjoying the incredible scenery; there just happened to be a photographer along with us.

Did I mention that he was able to find a time for our photo shoot on just three days notice? And he made a special effort to have the photos ready for review the very next day! My fiancé was leaving town for the foreseeable future on Sunday, so we did the shoot on Thursday and picked out our pictures on Friday. The whole team at Scott Campbell Photography was so warm and friendly, and so helpful!

Scott offered some great suggestions for locations to shoot, and was quite happy to go with us to Point Lobos, a place that means a lot to my fiancé and me. While there, the light was absolutely perfect and Scott knew just how to take advantage of the sunset. The images we got are truly magical.

He's got the heart of an artist, and he truly knows his craft. He also takes the time to get to know his clients and asked what kind of photos we wanted from the shoot. During the initial meeting, he wanted to know what sort of shots our family wanted, too, since that's always an important consideration with engagement shoots.

His photographs take advantage of depth of field, the play of the light and the movement of his subjects. His use of the environment is fantastic! It had just rained the day before our shoot and there were these beautiful puddles that he used to get shots with fantastic reflections. These are not stoic, rigid portraits. These shots captured us in our element, at ease and in our giddy happiness of being engaged. I know I'll be able to treasure these keepsakes forever." - Dana B.

"Scott's photographic work is incredibly artistic. He captured the special moments at my daughter's wedding and had a DVD of it playing at the reception. People who have seen the photos say they are the most beautiful wedding pictures they have ever seen, and we agree." - Carol W.

"I was so happy I chose Scott Campbell Photography. Scott is an amazing photographer but also knows how to run a studio. He goes way beyond prints and will walk you through so many different options (mini-books, gallery wraps, framing and displaying). I am the worse kind of customer because I am picky and slow to choose but he made the process so easy (as did his excellent office staff).

He shot both my young boys (no easy task- especially the 2 year old) and when I look at the pictures I can see their personalities so clearly. His unique style really helps you remember the moment. Just looking at his wedding photos makes me want to get married again! I saw some of the senior portraits he has been doing and could not believe how incredible the students looked- they looked like high end models." -Michelle O.
