5-Star Review on Yelp :: Terry Way Photography Santa Cruz Wedding Photographer at Monarch Cove Inn

info@terryway.com (Terry Way) — Thu, 30 May 2013 20:46:00 +0000

Huge thanks to Christina & Ryan who were recently married at the Monarch Cove Inn in Capitola for leaving such a glowing review on Yelp for Terry Way Photography. Can't wait to see them for family photos!!

Cheers and we are honored to have such amazing clients!

Thank you!!

Just got our wedding pictures back (after only a week and a half) and WOW!!! Are you kidding me?? They are so far beyond our expectations. It literally took us hours to look at them all. There are so many wonderful shots that my dilemma is going to be trying to make an album that will fit them all. Terry just shot our wedding at the Monarch Cove in Capitola in April. I am super picky when it comes to photos. I hate the traditional boring wedding photos from the 80's. After looking through his website I had to book him. He is so down to earth and his personality put me at ease. He has a knack for blending in with the crowd. He is not "in your face" with his camera. Most of the time you don't even know he is shooting. He was friendly with our guests and people even commented about how much they liked him. This is not a "job" for terry but a passion. The types of pictures he takes are full of emotion. He made us feel like he always cared about making our day special. We are already talking about how we want to take family pics once our family grows a bit. We live out of town but he will be our "go to" guy from now on. Thank you Terry for capturing the most beautiful photos from the most important day for us! We are forever grateful.

(((folkYeah!))) Presented Beck & Devendra Banhart at The Rio Theater In Santa Cruz ~ Photos By Terry Way Photography

info@terryway.com (Terry Way) — Mon, 20 May 2013 15:57:00 +0000

Thanks to (((folkYeah!))) Santa Cruz saw two big shows back to back at the Rio Theatre.

Beck performed a very special (ONLY West coast show!) acoustic set. Many old favorites as well as several songs never before heard were played. His band consisted of Roger Manning on piano (Bennie and The Jets!), and Justin Meldal-Johnsen on bass and drum machine. The mood was light and loose and this show will go down as a stone cold classic.

The previous evening saw a beautiful set from Devendra Banhart. With his full band, they seemed at times to capture a 1950's doo wop vibe blended with a South American groove while adding some 1980's new wave synth for good measure. Hard to describe but great to hear! Check out his new album to see what I mean.

Humpback Whales In The Monterey Bay ~ Terry Way Photography

info@terryway.com (Terry Way) — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 18:21:00 +0000

I took my boat out on the Monterey Bay Monday morning in hopes of catching salmon. Instead, I caught a spectacular display from a group of humpback whales.

Then, things got very interesting as this old whale decided to check me out at very close range.

We had a great fun engagement session cruising around town together last week!

Watts Towers ~ Terry Way Photography

info@terryway.com (Terry Way) — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 01:51:00 +0000

Finally saw Sam Rodia's fantastical neighborhood art creation known as the Watts Towers.

I guess the fact that this wonderful work of art lies right in the middle of one of L.A.'s most notorious hoods could explain the reason so many people have never seen them. It took Rodia over 30 years to construct them in his backyard and it is a wonder he was never ordered to get a permit or be forced to take them down. Just goes to show how different things were back then.

Antonio Gaudi would seem to have been an influence in Rodia's art. The L.A. Times recently had an interesting piece on the towers. You can read it here.

A Little Getaway Down In Mexico ~ Terry Way Photography

Checked out a "palenque" as well.

Brandie & Dave got married in January in the Redwoods. How fortunate to have sunshine and a warm day, winter weddings rarely get to be held outdoors and their ceremony was stunning under the canopy of Redwoods.

"Terry Way is awesome! I couldn't be happier with the results of our shoot. I contacted Terry and Vallerie for some Business Lifestyle photos to update my Coaching web site, and they were helpful and professional from the start, suggesting some excellent location possibilities.

Terry has a very relaxing presence, put me completely at ease, and then worked hard to capture one special shot after another. He covered all the bases. The photos are absolutely killer. What a difference working with a seasoned pro who brings enthusiasm and creativity to a shoot he's probably done hundreds of times. I actually had fun working with him.

I rode my motorcycle to the shoot, and afterwards he took some Bad Boy photos of me with my bike. He knew all the cool poses and the shots, including some black and white, came out like a scene from The Wild Ones! I might put 'em on a dating web site just for fun. Hands down, he's the man. I'll go to Terry anytime I have to get in front of a camera."

5 Star Review on Yelp for Terry Way Photography

I'm totally blown away by how generous our clients are, getting to know each couple is an honor. Thank you so much for taking the time to offer newly engaged couples a first hand look at your experience with our studio by leaving your review online.

Thank you Mary Kay & Pat for the 5 Star Review

It was a privilege to document your wedding day and we look forward to many more opportunities to photograph your family in the future.

See this and all Reviews on Yelp and please check the filtered reviews too, Reviews and Filtered 5-Star Reviews on Yelp (typically this is beacuse the reviewer only reviewed a small amount of businesses).

"If you are searching for the best photography EXPERIENCE search no further. Terry Way is the best. There are lots of good picture takers out there. There are lots of considerate and engaging businessmen. There are lots of outfits that are flexible and deliver product when they say they will. There are lots of bargains out there too.

Now, try to find a photography business that does all of that and more.

Right - its not easy.

Unless, you ask folks that have been through it. We did and everyone pointed us to Terry Way. We were so glad - because our wedding photography experience was amazing.

When you meet Terry you will understand. Very patient, very engaging and extremely knowledgeable. We described what we were after and he showed us a few examples - from there he did the rest.

He melted into our wedding and reception like butter - barely realized he was around - but he managed to get a unique perspective of every key moment of the event from front to back.

Several of our guests and family commented on how much fun it was to be around Terry and have their pictures taken - his personality adds to the day for sure.

Afterward, it took us a long time to decide which pictures we wanted in our final album. Terry and Vallarie were superbly patient - answered all of our questions and ultimately produced a gorgeous work of art that we are excited to share with everyone!

Great experience, great value, great people. You won't be disappointed."
