Endorsements

Jim Doyle and his crew have been our portfolio photographer for over 10 years. They always come through with award winning photos, literally, we always win awards with them. We are low-income housing developers so they have had to deal with some pretty difficult not so pretty things but in the end, they always amaze and impress us with their abilities to really make our buildings something we can be proud of.

YVONNE DECARLO

Director of Design — Affirmed Housing

Thanks Jim. This is the fourth time we have tried to capture these models – glad to finally have great photography for our project. The photography is beautiful.

DONNA O’CONNELL

Director of Marketing and Studio — KB Home Central Cal Division

On behalf of the Marketing Team at Leisure Sports Inc., I want to thank you for making our photo shoot an excellent experience. The professionalism exhibited by your team went beyond our expectations and the finished quality of your photos has been lauded by everyone who has seen them.

When working with a new vendor particularly with a photographer there is always a concern of timeliness, the ability of the photographer to execute on a shared vision and of course the photo quality. I’m happy to say that our fears were set aside right from the start. You listened to our wants and delivered on our wants and needs. I am proud to say that your work has made my job of marketing Renaissance ClubSport Aliso Viejo easier. Your ability to look at a space and see the perfect angle for a shot and then execute the vision is what makes you an award winning photographer, and Leisure Sports a very satisfied client.

We have and will continue to recommend Applied Photography to our business partners, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your team in the near future.
