Used Mr. Koster to photograph a surprise proposal on the beach with my fiance. After I proposed, later that day he contacted us to review the photos. We sat in his studio for nearly two hours editing our photos and got it down to a total of 16 we really liked. We learned the 16 photo album we built would cost us $3,200 dollars. If we wanted a single picture it would cost us $150 and not even be print quality.
We were so frustrated and left with only two prints ordered Moments after we left Mr. Koster friend requested my fiance on Facebook and not myself while using our engagement picture on his company Facebook page without any regards to how we felt about it. I would never use this service again.

I treasure our photos from 2007 of my husband, dog and me. My favorite is a black and white photo of our feet with my niece, husband and their boys with our Scottie in colour! In 2011 I had Dave take photos of our almost year old granddaughter. The photos were a gift to my son and daughter-in-law. Fabulous keepsakes!

I am so grateful for Carrie and Portraits in The Sand. They introduced me to their picture organizing platform, walked me through the process and offered help along the way. Almost 30,000 photos later, I am ready to start printing books for my God-children, husband and his family. They made it so easy!

Do not get an engagement session with this company. They charge you for an entire session and do not even let you keep digital copies of the photos which we were originally promised! They were asking for $100 per photo.waste of time and money on what was supposed to be a special moment! I now have zero photos from my engagement and my fiance and I wasted over an HOUR with this man.
Not to mention, the owner definitely tricked my fiance into thinking he was a normal photographer who passes digital copies along--which he does not do apparently. He should have clearly TOLD my fiance that he is not a normal photographer, in that he charges you for a session and then makes you purchase INDIVIDUAL photos.

Dave did our engagement portraits. We were a little nervous about have our pictures professional taken. Dave was friendly and helped us feel at ease during our session. He made us laugh and helped us forget that he was there taking pictures. I found Dave to be knowledgeable and very professional. He had patience while we decided on which portrait to turn into our large wall hanging.
I was impressed with his knowledge of photography and his ability to answer all my questions in a timely manner. Dave provided an experience that was memorable for my fiance and I. We now have our large wall canvas displayed in our home and enjoy the compliments we receive when company comes over. If you are looking for a professional photographer who knows his craft, provides an excellent service than I would recommend Dave Koster.
