Broccardo Photography

Joe is the best photographer around!!! He took our engagement, wedding as well as family pictures! He will also be doing my daughters senior pictures. If you want a photographer that is professional, resourceful and fun Joe is your guy. He provides a unique and artistic prospective to his photography that made my wedding and engagement pictures unbelievable. You can’t go wrong using Joe for any event!!!

Joe went above and beyond for my wife and I. He came last min to the pier in San Clemente to capture the moment I proposed to my wife. Having not just photos but professional shots of that moment is amazing. Then we hired him to shoot our engagement photos and Wedding. Our Wedding day was just so easy with Joe and his crew. He made the day go so smoothly. He has a great eye and does a amazing work with adjusting the color to create an overall mood and feeling in the final product. I have and would recommend him again and I hope to have him do photo shoots of my family in the years to come. Thank you Joe for making our special day so memorable.

After years of my parents using Joe for our family photographer, it was finally my turn to use him as my wedding photographer! He has such an artistic eye, I loved every shot! He is professional and organized and has such a way with people, he had my whole wedding party laughing! Thank you so much Joe, you were able to capture such perfect photos of the most special day of my life!

Joe’s photography is just amazing! He definitely has just the right eye for capturing the perfect shot you’ll remember for a lifetime. We got married in May 2014, and he had an engagement photo session with us a few weeks before our wedding, and obviously during the actual wedding day. He poses his talent just right and then adjusts color in the final product to enhance the mood or create an artistic unique picture. I also really enjoyed his anamorphic lens for special situations to capture the entire wedding party and all guests in a single shot. He’s funny and a really nice guy overall. Just know, it literally took many months after our honeymoon to finally get the wedding album. Joe states that the company he uses for the albums does exceptional work and didn’t want to switch despite the occasional tardiness. He was right, the album was incredible! Joe’s work is definitely better than most out there, so don’t blame him if your album takes a bit more time than normal. You’ll want his photos for your lifetime memories!

DON’T DO IT, YOU’LL REGRET IT FOREVER! THIS DUDE IS THE WORST! TO ME, HE STOLE OUR MONEY AND NEVER DELIVERED ON HIS SIDE OF THE CONTRACT. DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT WITH HIM, YOU DON’T WANT A PHOTOGRAPHER WHO DOESN’T CALL BACK, HAS A MILLION EXCUSES, TAKES YOUR MONEY, HAS POOR WORK ETHICS, DOESN’T KNOW HIS OWN CLIENTS NAME, AND HIS PICTURES SUCK!!! HE WAS A REFERRAL FROM A VENDOR WE USED.
We have started with contacting the Better Business Bureau and filing a complaint that is step 1. READ BELOW (PART OF EMAIL CHAIN WITH JOE, NO MORE ROOM)

How sorry are you? Seriously we fired your unprofessional ass on 10÷10÷14, because of you not being able to perform the job you stated you could do. I had to reach out to Lynne more than once to get a response from you. I don’t know if you realize it but your response came on 10÷30÷14 20 days after the fact. Seriously dude you’re kidding yourself if you think for a minute you did your job. The retainer The retainer I made was to hold the date and for you to do your job, you didn’t deliver on your side of the contract. Furthermore who the hell is «Jeff»?
You should really proof read and/​or spell check your emails prior to sending. Additionally, you really need to learn when to use the correct punctuation in emails. Grammar 101 will teach you when to use a question mark, comma, period etc. How sad is it that you don’t even know our names, but yet you still think you did your job and therefore you can keep our deposit?

On Jan 30, 2014 Broccardo photo told us the «albums have really been ordered… they will be at my office with in three weeks…» We promptly confirmed a shipping address and NEVER HEARD FROM HIM AGAIN! Joe and his team were great on the wedding day, photos are great… just don’t expect to ever get the printed albums. We have requested a refund for the albums, but no response from Broccardo Photo.

Joe is AMAZING! We stumbled across him after a bad experience with a previous photographer. And now i am glad the first one went sour! Joe shot our engagement pics and wedding pics and made it so easy! He is funny and has a talent for making you laugh during some of those awkward just keep smiling moments! The turn around time for the pictures was incredibly fast! I will defiantly call him whenever we need a photographer! no matter what the occasion!

JOE’S DA MAN!!! Excellent, talented, experienced, and a sense of humor when needed!!! Highly recommended!!! Does Excellent work!!!

First of all, Joe is at least 4.5 stars — the only thing keeping me from rating him 5 stars is that he wasn’t actually my wedding photographer. We were getting married out of town, but needed engagement photos, so Joe stepped in for us! He is so easy to work with, very accommodating and laid back. He has a great eye, and his prices are very reasonable! Such a talented photographer. I would not hesitate to use him again.
