Praise was everything we could have asked for in a wedding photographer. From our first meeting to our engagement shoot and finally our wedding day, she was extremely professional ...
and fun to work with. Throughout the process, we were impressed by her attention to detail, thoughtful touches (like sending us a care package with chocolate and other treats!), incredible efficiency, and ability to make us laugh and feel comfortable in front of the camera. On our wedding day, she was a friendly face and a calm presence, and she even managed to turn around a set of sneak peek photos from the first part of the day and display them on an iPad at our reception — seriously impressive! Just a few days later, she sent us a full gallery of beautiful photos. We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Praise!
My now husband and I generally hate getting our picture taken, but Praise has something of a talent for bringing the best out of you. She directed us in a way that was very natural...
and candid and produced great photos. We got the initial photos uploaded basically same day, and the edited photos within a week. We can't recommend her enough!
Praise is easily one of the most talented, warm hearted, and genuine photographers I've ever met. As a wedding coordinator who has worked in the wedding industry for 10 years, I ha...
ve high expectations for the vendors I choose to work with, and truly... Praise is one of the best. Praise has shot a team building creative workshop for us, and she captured the fun, the energy, and the story of the day.. all with the best attitude and biggest smile. She made it such a joy to work with her. We were blown away when we received our photos just a week after our event, and the photos were PHENOMENAL. I loved her work and Praise so much that I asked her to shoot my fiance and I for our engagement shoot. Again, Praise did not disappoint. Her genuine, warm, and kind personality just oozes from her and make it so easy to be in front of her camera. Admittedly my fiance and I don't love getting our photos taken (we get embarrased!!), but Praise made it so fun and so natural. We are so thankful that she capture such a special time in our lives, and we'll have the photos to remind us for a lifetime. I recommend Praise to all of my friends who are looking for a photographer. We loved our time with Praise, and consider her a friend. I'm confident that anyone else who works with her would feel the same. Thank you Praise again for everything!!
My husband and I thought long and hard on how we wanted to write this
review. We really wanted to fully express our amazing experience with
Praise at ComePlum and decided that a li...
st would capture it all, so here
it is!
Pros:
- We loved how nice and sweet Praise was!
- We loved that it felt that we've known her for years!
- Praise is so accommodating (like VERY)!
- We loved loved loved the positive energy she brings!
- We loved how comfortable she made us feel especially since I'm major
awkward when it comes to professional photos... haha!
-Her work is amazing!!! Her style is just so awesome and all our guests
have sent me messages saying how amazing her work is.
-Every pictured captured was perfect, it was so hard to choose!
Cons:
-That we didn't meet her sooner!
We HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Come Plum!!!
My husband and I met Praise at a wedding expo. While most of the vendors there were really aggressive and sales-y, Praise seemed super genuine and sweet. We enjoyed talking to her...
and were happy she followed up. We loved her photography style and asked several friends who are either artsy designers or photographers themselves what they thought of her portfolio and they all thought her work was top notch.
While we are (were) generally uncomfortable in front of the camera, Praise did an amazing job making the engagement session a really fun experience. She had us laughing all afternoon, we enjoyed getting to know her in the process, and she was incredibly flexible and willing to help us get the exact shots we wanted - even when the SF cable cars weren't cooperating!
Between the engagement session and wedding, she was really supportive, provided vendor referrals, and was generally there for advice and calming of our nerves.
When it came to the wedding day, Praise did a phenomenal job as did her assistant, Joseph. The two of them were incredibly personable with our family helping everyone feel comfortable - even our family members who don't speak English. The photos are elegant and creative and many look like they could be in a magazine. I was floored with how good they are! When I started getting emotional leading up to our "first look" photos, Praise was there to hold my hand and assure me my makeup still looked good. As we drove from our first look photos to the ceremony site, they calmed our nerves by blasting our favorite pump up music in the car - K-Pop! It was perfect and they took song requests!
I heard several compliments from guests who thought the photographers were super sweet and fun - they even got out on the dance floor with us on our request.
I can't recommend Come Plum enough - Praise will capture all the most important, beautiful moments of your big day. And we had our photos within two weeks - so amazing!
The first word that comes to mind with Praise as our wedding photographer, Wow! She is so organized and creates an extremely relaxed atmosphere for the shoot, thus creating authen...
tic moments. Not to mention, her photos are absolutely GORGEOUS!
Praise was willing to travel 1300 miles one way to be my wedding photographer. She is always available and the photography planning portion of my wedding was quite seamless.
I could continue for hours about my experience with ComePlum/Praise. Bottom line, she is amazing and I would select her as my photographer every time!
Working with Praise and her ComePlum team was a dream come true. Praise was so thoughtful and caring, and she truly took the time to get to know us as a couple, figuring out what m...
akes us tick, what we were looking forward to in our wedding, and which aspects we were not as thrilled about. She then used this information to make our pictures personal and meaningful, and she also got to know us so well that she felt like a friend by the end of our big night.
She was a pleasure to work with, and the photos are an absolutely stunning reflection of that. Wonderful photographer and person who clearly loves what she does, and it shows it her work!
There's so much I want to say about Praise Santos and the Comeplum team. But after seeing our amazing photos, I'm left speechless. The care for detail, ridiculous kindness, and jus...
t overall amazing experience working with Praise and her associate photographer Lorenz absolutley MADE my civil ceremony. Shaun and I LOVE the pictures and truly couldn't ask for more. If you want your memories captured in the most stunning way and with such an amazing, DETAIL ORIENTED group, look no further. Praise came recommended to me by a coworker and while our budget was tight, Praise was dedicated to make it happen. She worked with me, never judged, and the results are priceless. I couldn't have more gratitude. Thank you!
When my husband and I found ComePlum we knew we'd found " our wedding storyteller". Praise, the photographer, and her assistant Faith were beyond AMAZING! We got my wedding pictur...
es recently and we absolutely LOVE it. They captured the energy and fun and joy and laughter of our wedding day, seeing the photos we re-lived the day and saw so much that we had missed, it was wonderful. So pleased with all the photos and had lots and lots of positive comments from our families and friends. Thank you ComePlum, we can't recommend you highly enough. Thank you for being part of our wedding squad!
ComePlum photography made my wedding day a relaxing and joyous experience, with all of the special moments perfectly captured.
Praise and her assistant Faith are the ideal duo and...
ComePlum offered everything that you look for in wedding photographry from start to finish:
-Praise's talent for capturing the candid moments made the photos special, and by far my top priority when choosing a photographer.
-The formal portraits that all of the family members must have were efficient, perfectly lit and natural.
-During the setup and getting ready, Praise added to the experience with fun suggestions for group shots, prompts to make us all laugh (real laughs).
-By bringing an assistant, Praise and Faith were able to capture varied angles of the ceremony such as the stunning shots from the balcony of the chapel.
-They blended, not taking attention away from the bride and groom's special moments (a pet peeve of mine that I have witnessed at other weddings).
-Praise is professional, organized and most of all personable. She was part of the party- the poised and trend-setting woman that "I wish I could be in my next life" (quote from guest).
-Praise helped me organize a schedule, identify the groupings and photo ops most important to me and she scouted the space for the best angles. Surprising to myself and family- the photos were ready in less than 2 weeks. I had barely had time to cool off from my honeymoon sunbathing before I got to relive it all again. Plus the photos were delivered electronically in a format that I could easily share, print, make into albums, and more. Such sharing of photos has led to endless compliments from guests recognizing Praise's talent.
I would certainly highly recommend ComePlum Photography and am more than pleased with the process and the product.
We love Praise and have an ongoing working relationship with her and taking photos with our family. She exceeded all our expectations for our wedding coverage and our families lov...
ed her to boot!
Praise is professional, enthusiastic, creative, fun and even-keel; she gets the shot snd everyone loves her in the process.
Our photos both engagement and the wedding images are fantastic and we love them!!
Praise was a special part of our day throughout the process. She captured bright and one-of-a-kind photos that we will cherish forever. Besides photography, her personality really ...
made the pictures fun and easy without any wasted time to get bored. She also met the needs of our crazy families! ComePlum was spectacular!
I highly recommend Praise. We have worked with her for our wedding day and we cannot be more satisfied. She knows how to capture life moments and to make pictures of simple things ...
look beautiful. It seems to me she tells a story when you look through her photography and this is what makes her work so special.
In addition to be an amazing photographer, Praise holds precious qualities : very nice, patient, understanding and really professionnal. It was truly a pleasure to work with her, she knows how to make you feel comfortable and confident. We have lived a special day together and her assistant and those are moments we'll probably never forget from our side.
So thanks a million Praise !
Praise is absolutely amazing in every way possible! My husband and I searched very diligently for a photographer since we knew pictures are one of the few things we will have for y...
ears to come. We initially heard about Praise through a friend-connection, but fell in love with her style. Her pictures are clean, colorful, and they all capture joy. I spoke to her a couple times over the phone, she was very easy going, helpful, and excited. We did not meet her in person until our engagement shoot when we met her in SF for coffee- she was an absolute delight and so easy to work with! She made sure to incorporate personal details in our pictures which gave them an added depth. I made it a point to search for people on our wedding day who would add positivity and organization to the day and Praise did exactly that! She was organized, professional, positive, unobtrusive (but definitely got people and things where they needed to be!), and not afraid to jump in when the dance floor needed new life! She absolutely went above and beyond throughout the day and stayed flexible when our schedule ran a little behind. We LOVED our engagement and wedding photos and she has a very quick turn around! We HIGHLY recommend Praise and her team!! :)
Praise and her team were hands down the best venders at my wedding. They arrived on time and were glowing with excitement about our special day. They paid close attention to the de...
tails and saw the entire event from such a magical angle. They felt like part of the family which made them so easy to work with. Praise's direction was very easy to understand. She did an amazing job capturing little special moments. Every time I turned around she was right there, making sure that exact moment will be with us forever. Thank you Praise, you were amazing!
If you are in the middle of your wedding photographer search, look no further and choose ComePlum! From the moment my husband and I grabbed coffee with Praise, we knew she was the...
right photographer for us. Not only did we want to choose someone that could capture the energy and fun of our special day through their photos, but we wanted someone with an upbeat, friendly and funny personality. Praise exceeded our expectations on all fronts...calmed our nerves on the big day, shared in plenty of laughs with all of our guests, got out on the dance floor to capture those reception highlights and above all delivered amazing pictures...and plenty of them!
A few other great things about ComePlum:
1. High quality pictures at a great price - after searching a number of sites, Praise's pictures were better than photographers charging much more.
2. Praise is quick to respond and very organized - she provides you with a Google doc of typical poses/pictures people want on their wedding day and then lets you reorganize/add/edit to your specifications to ensure that you don't miss any photo opps.
3. Engagement shoot - my husband and I were initially against doing one as we thought they were cheesy. Praise includes one in her rate and encouraged us to do an engagement shoot to get familiar and comfortable with her and get a head start on what we like. We are so happy we did...Praise recommended really unique venues to shoot at and the pics are so nice to look back on. It was a huge help in being more comfortable in front of the camera on the big day.
4. Fun and spontaneous - while the typical staged shots are important to capture, my favorite ones that Praise took were the random moments of laughs, hugs, walking through the woods and breaking it down on the dance floor.
Choose ComePlum...you won't be disappointed.
we just got married a few days ago and Praise was such a joy to work with.
Our engagement photos turned out so beautiful and we used them to make our guestbook which people loved....
The day of went nearly flawlessly. It didn't feel like we were being hovered over or bossed around. I'm so excited to get our pictures but I already know they'll be gorgeous. She's so talented
Praise Santos is an amazing photographer! She conspired with my husband to photograph the proposal, and she documented our wedding. She met with me and my husband weeks before the ...
wedding to go through all the details of the wedding and what shots we wanted. I felt very confident that she knew what we wanted and would be able to get everything done. On the day of the wedding she was on time and on schedule. We even got some of the family shots done early so that we could actually enjoy cocktail hour! She is one of the sweetest people I know and made everyone so comfortable in front of the camera. Her bright personality and love of life and weddings only added more fun to an already exciting day. Her photos are absolutely beautiful. She truly captured the day. I couldn't be happier with our photos. We didn't hire a videographer so she took some simple, short videos of the ceremony, speeches, and the reception for us free of charge. She also delivered our final photos within a month, which is the quickest turn around I've seen! You will not be disappointed with ComePlum!
Working with Praise was amazing! Besides being a friend of ours, we ended up booking her super last minute for our wedding. She was more than willing to work it out in her schedule...
to fly back home to FL to capture our magical day. She is very reasonable, especially since we did our wedding ceremony first, and then having our big reception next year. Our families and wedding party loved working with her as well, and they all thought she was the sweetest. We would totally recommend her! We love you, Praise! :)
Praise did our wedding portraits as well as for our family and during our ceremony. It was difficult finding a photographer the day after Thanksgiving and she was more than willing...
to help us. She met within our budget and I could always get ahold of her. She really captured what I was looking for and we got some beautiful shots. It's hard taking pictures in the middle of San Francisco with people everywhere but we were still able to get those handful of shots we really wanted. Thank you Praise for capturing our special day!
Where do I start??She is simply the best!!! Praise has a true gift for capturing beautiful moments. Weddings are special but they can be stressful and having Praise shoot our weddi...
ng was a breath of fresh air. With her fun personable attitude she helped us relax and feel at ease when doing our shoot. Also, we had many guest that spoke another language but that was no problem for Praise. Our guest just loved her. Besides her great shots and wonderful personality Praise has your pictures ready ASAP :)
You can go wrong with Praise. Especially on such and important day you have to make sure you have the best and Praise is just that.
WOW! Praise is a fantastic photographer with an eye for the beauty in every moment from the minute to the grande! We enjoyed meeting with her prior to the wedding to share our stor...
y and especially loved how she captured that story in every part of our special day. Her calm yet energetic spirit made my preparations in the bridal suite that much more exciting. She was able to work in a variety of lighting from inside an inn suite, on the side of a mountain on a bright sunny afternoon, to our outdoor/indoor reception and dinner that went from dusk to dark. We love having all the photos digitally that we are able to share as we want and print however we choose. We have two large prints, one canvas and one metal, we had developed through Shutterfly that look amazing all because of her attention to detail and the quality of the images! You MUST check her out! As soon as you meet her you will want her by your side the whole time :)
**And now that we are expecting a baby girl in July she will be the photographer we call for our pregnancy pics!**
We hired Praise to shoot our wedding at Stern Grove last October, and I'm so glad we did. The photos were beautiful, and the way she captured so many little special moments blew us...
away. Praise is great at capturing all the little intimate, silly, heartwarming moments (and she does it all super stealth style). She's also kind, upbeat and positive, with an attitude that immediately puts everyone at ease. I will hire her again the next time I need photos of our family. She's a great photographer and a genuinely lovely person.
