Reviews of Afterglow (Photo Studio)

Cyndi Wong Lorenzo

Kirk was so easy to work with from the start! He got all the shots that I was looking for and even the ones I didnt think of. Kirk captured my perfect day with 28 loved ones, he even came earlier as requested! I now have all the memories and a story to last forever. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great professional photographer.

Booked a shoot with Kirk this summer and it was everything I hoped for and more! Having hair and make up as an option was a perk I’m so thankful for. I went into the shoot looking and feeling my best. The location was beautiful and the picture quality was amazing. I am so thankful to Kirk for making me feel so comfortable throughout the shoot, much beyond my comfort zone. Highly recommend for all our photo needs!

Kirk is phenomenally talented photographer! He makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera even if it's not something you particularly enjoy. He is incredibly professional and creative and the quality of his work is amazing! We are absolutely IN LOVE with our wedding pictures and they are truly magazine-worthy. We would 100% recommend him for any and all of your photo needs!

I don't have a single negative thing to say about my experience with Afterglow Images during my Maternity Photoshoot. I felt comfortable, relaxed and at ease immediately. I have never had professional makeup or photographs before, and they made everything so effortless. My photographs were way above expectations, and I would recommend this service to anyone who wants quality photographs at a great value.

I can highly recommend doing a photoshoot with Kirk! I did a boudoir shoot in a beautiful outdoor location. Even though it was out of my comfort zone at first it was fun and Kirk was super patient, helpful and made it a great experience!

We are impressed by the amazing service we received and are just blown away by our wedding pictures. We were not expecting to receive as many as we did and the quality was just wow! We highly recommend anyone getting married or for any occasion to go through Afterglow!!

Photographer - Kirk, is among the best people whose services we availed. He conducted our maternity photo shoot. He is very understanding, patient, jovial and puts himself in your shoes and works in your best interest. I would highly recommend availing his services. While the quality of his work is evident via his website, he uses a very personalized and warming approach in the shots he takes.

Kirk is a fabulous photographer. He recently took my boudoir photos and it was a great experience. He was easy to work with and very professional. And the photos turns out amazing. The quality was superb. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for some good quality photos.

Due to travel restrictions from COVID-19, we needed to find an amazing local photographer for our engagement photos. We are so happy we found Afterglow. Kirk is an amazing photographer and has the ability to capture those sweet and special moments! My fiance and I felt comfortable throughout the whole session. You can tell Kirk is passionate about what he does and has an artistic vision, which translates into your photos. We are very pleased with how our engagement photos turned out and would not hesitate to work with Kirk again in the future!

Kirk was amazing. He pulled double duty with photos and video for our wedding day and made sure we got everything we wanted, he paid great attention to detail and gave direction well. Also, he's just a great guy in general, very easy to get along with. Highly recommended!

I found Kirk while doing some google searching. I was so happy to connect with him. He helped me create lovely maternity photos. His ideas and suggests were incredible. He made me feel extremely comfortable. Kirk was able to take my vision and add his own and create a beautiful atmosphere for photos. The location was absolutely stunning. He had a makeup/ hair stylist come with him to work on my hair and makeup. She was also so friendly. Kirk also had many outfits he brought and I was able to use them during my shoot. I am beyond happy with all of my pictures and the results. I felt special and empowered by all my shots we got! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for maternity photos. Extremely professional. Thank you Kirk!

Kirk was such a special part of our day, and he did an outstanding job with our wedding photography! We are unable to find the right words to describe Kirk's work and the awe we felt when we received our photos! When planning our wedding I knew that I wanted more than just images - I dreamt of having a photographer accurately capture the emotion behind each moment of the day and Kirk managed to do exactly that! With each flip of a photo we were able to relive the entire day and the rollercoaster of emotions that ensued - it was truly magical! He was also a great lead and the perfect balance of assertion (making us stay on track/time, directing us in poses, and ensuring each picture on the shot list was taken) and comedian (demonstrating poses himself, making us laugh with jokes, and overall feeling like more of a friend than a vendor). Kirk also exudes a sense of calm (perfect for an anxious bride, like me!) and poise - you honestly hardly know he is there and we found ourselves often saying "when were these even taken?!" and "Where was he when he got this shot?!" while looking through the album. I truly cannot recommend him enough and will certainly be using his services again in the future (which, is a 2-hour drive for us... so that has to say something!) Thank you Kirk!

Kirk exceeded our expectations with his professionalism and talent for photography. Could not have been happier that we had him photograph our engagement and wedding. He simply was the best! He made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera and gave us direction and cues in order to achieve the perfect shot. We would highly recommend him for all special event photography needs. Thank you Kirk!

Kirk did an amazing job on our maternity photo shoot, he spent so much time with us making sure we got what we wanted. It was a very relaxed atmosphere and he has a great personality. Recently used him for our wedding and will be enlisting his services again for a newborn photo shoot.

Elaine Turner

This review is long overdue! It was an absolute pleasure having Kirk capture our micro-wedding back in the summer. He was professional, kind and made us feel completely at ease while he worked his magic behind the camera. Overall the whole experience was positive and stress-free. I would also like to add that he over delivered on the turnaround time of our pictures, which I should mention, turned out beautifully. I would highly recommend him.

I did a boudoir maternity shoot with Afterglow Images in the Fall of 2020. Doing anything like this was outside of my comfort zone and I was very nervous. I was made to feel comfortable and instructed on how to pose my body and face to have the best parts accentuated. It was an empowering experience that I will never forget. I will cherish these photos!

My husband and I recently had a small intimate backyard wedding and we hired Afterglow to capture our special day. We could not be more happy with the pictures from our wedding, and the amazing service we received from Kirk. Leading up to the wedding, he was extremely helpful working out all the details. He responded quickly and answered any question I had. We even worked out other services we could arrange in case any changes had to be made from pandemic uncertainty. He was extremely professional throughout the day and took special care to make sure all of our guests were safe and feeling comfortable. He went above and beyond to capture every special moment we had :) even with a down pour of rain! I highly recommend Afterglow to anyone that will listen, and cannot give Kirk enough praise!! He certainty stood out to our guests as well, and he was absolutely amazing working his magic with the kids to get them in a very cooperative mood for all the pictures (which was not easily done by others)! We were extremely impressed working with Afterglow and highly recommend for any important day you may want to have captured. The pictures are perfect! He gave an artistic and elegant touch to all the photos he took, and I'm so happy to have them as the memories of our special day :) Thank you Kirk and Afterglow!

Highly recommended! Very affordable. His photography skills are just amazing! Most importantly, he makes the experience relaxing, fun and natural. You won’t regret it.

Had a great experience with Kirk and the photos turned out so lovely!!

Karin Findlay

I thoroughly enjoyed this photography session with Kirk from Afterglow Images! It was professional, beautiful, not stressful at all, and very fun! (This from someone who doesn’t like their photo taken). Kirk had lovely easy-to-follow suggestions for positioning, lighting, and locations and was such a joy to work with! Can’t wait to see the finished products ???? shout-out also to Emma Plant from South Coast Beauty Co. for quick and beautiful hair and makeup!

Kirk is really a great photographer with true passion of capturing moments. He made our day at my surprise engagement. I recommend him if you are looking for a photographer with passion, not just for a businees. He made us feel very comfortable. One should hire afterglow images for sure.

Kirk is by far the most creative photographer I’ve had the pleasure of working with! He captured so many magical moments with our engagement shoot, and I am thoroughly impressed with the quality images he presented us with.
