Jerrick & the Three16 team are AMAZING! We opted for photo, video, and Photo Booth for our wedding and are so glad we did. Our guests (and us) had so much fun getting use the props at the booth, and judging by our gallery, many of them kept coming back for more! Shoutout to Josie :) We had the rest of the team with us throughout the entire day, so we can certainly say they make great company! Got the opportunity to include our dog in some follow up photos, and she certainly made two new friends. Having photo and video at your wedding is well worth it, and having a team like Three16 to capture it all is priceless. (Nguyen Wedding, Garden Grove/Anaheim)
I got married in May 2022 and used Three16 for my photography. I never post negative reviews which is why it took me so long to realize that this one is worth posting to help any brides avoid the issues I ran into with this vendor.
Throughout the whole planning process, I worked with Jerrick to communicate my goals, budget, and expectations for our wedding photography. He was great - quick and thorough communication that made me felt seen and understood. At no point did he disclose that he would not be the primary photographer, I only found out one week prior to our wedding. I never actually spoke to our primary photographer until the day of the wedding. It seemed like the second shooter and the primary had never met or worked together as they had an odd dynamic. I didn't feel confident that either of them had insight into what I had talked about with Jerrick. I tried to go with the flow and let the 'experts' do their job.
Throughout the shoot, myself and a bridesmaid had to suggest alternative locations due to obvious red flags - such as people in the background, poor lighting, etc. Shouldn't they have seen that and also tried to get a variety of shots - not just one location for all of the photos? When I got the photos back, I was devastated to see more rudimentary critical errors. Nearly every individual or small group photo was cropped to cut off the bottom third of the person and leave tons of overhead space. Also they applied the same generic filter to all of the photos and did no noticeable edits otherwise. The photos were grainy and looked low quality.
When I expressed this feedback to Jerrick he was incredibly dismissive and, for lack of a better word, gaslight me into thinking that I should have known what to expect with their 'style'. He made no consolation other than 'I'm sorry you feel that way' and only offered to send me the raw files, rather than re-edit any after I repeatedly pushed for some acknowledgement.
Maybe I'm nitpicky but check out the photographer in the mirror, horrible framing, unruly cords and hoses in the background and overall graininess of photos as just a few examples. While I did get a few precious photos that I will savor forever, the majority are largely unusable which is a huge waste of time and money.
