Sean Thurston Photography Reviews

I booked with Sean for my daughter’s theater headshots. It was easy to book my appointment online and he had a great special that was $69 for the session and one image. We were running late and he was super gracious about it. He has a very professional and comfortable photography studio in his basement with a separate room for changing etc and really impressive equipment. In about a half an hour, he took so many amazing shots of my daughter that I ended up buying two extra. He was so, so knowledgeable. He told her how to stand, how to move her head, had her do mouth exercises to relax her smile, pinned her shirt and hair to make it look best and importantly made her super comfortable. Her sent me the amazing images within 24 hours as promised. I’d use him for anything - he is wonderful.

Incredible. That’s the only word I can come up with that comes close to our experience with Sean Thurston Photography. His passion for his work truly shows not just in the finished product, but in every step along the way. Sean made our experience unforgettable by bringing a level of professionalism and high end customer service that other photographers don’t come close to achieving. From the first consultation to him actually coming and installing the finished product, I knew I was being treated like a star client. His technique with the fine art portraits is unparalleled. I now have gorgeous show pieces for my home that will forever capture my family and bring joy every time I see them and cannot wait to do more. Thank you so much Sean Thurston Photography for an absolutely amazing experience and product!

Getting married during a pandemic was interesting to say the least, but having Sean as our photographer truly made a difference. From making sure our engagement session was everything we wanted, even when we were delayed by stay at home orders, to bearing with us when our whole day changed due to our reception venue canceling a month out. He even went the extra mile to help us search for another venue. When you hire Sean you definitely get more than just an amazing photographer. His photography is so creative, he tries to make everything individualized, and his products reflect the upmost quality. Everything Sean delivers is unique and genuine. We loved working with him, and hope to work with him again in the future. -The Littles

I have used Sean again for the 3rd time for my daughter’s wedding. He did her engagements and wedding (as part of the package) and I will keep using him again and again because he did just an amazing job of capturing this big day. Not only is he affordable in comparison with others in the area, but Sean is a professional in every way. He has a special gift to know what lighting needs to be used and all of the photos just turned out spectacular. This was my first wedding using him and he brought another photographer who was just a pleasure to have working along side him. They both made sure to capture every special moment and all of those in between.

Sean did a great job and was very attentive during a last minute request to photograph pieces of by grandfather’s woodworking. He and I coordinated completely remotely. He worked directly with my grandmother to schedule a time for the shoot. He came initially to scope things out then returned shortly thereafter to take the photos which were posted very promptly to his website. When my grandmother was having a hard time accessing the photos online, he provided a thumb drive with the images for her to access. My grandmother was impressed by the work product and enjoyed working with Sean (as did I). I would definitely recommend him to others.

Sean Thurston Photography is by far a must select for any of your photography needs / requirements in this area. Sean took the time to explain the process, help us choose a setting / location with the perfect time of day, recommendations on what to wear (we asked), but also took the time to make the photo shoot natural not staged. His customization of the photos into finalized products left my wife and I in awe and asking to book a fall shoot for just us. We puchased a personalized album and many customized pictures with different styles and framing. WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!! Definately looking forward to our future family photo opportunities.

My first time being photographed professionally. Sean did an amazing job and made us feel so comfortable. This was our first time working with a professional bit it wont be my last! And as long as Sean is around he will always be our go to guy for photos! We absolutely love every single photo he captured of us. I was very nervous cause usually when other people take my photos i dont like them mainly cause of angles, i was a little worried when sean got down low for some of our shots but i was not disappointed one bit when it came to previewing the pictures. Sean we can not thank you enough!!

I came across Sean’s work when I was looking for someone to do family pictures, and I loved how everyone looked so dynamic and alive in the photos he took. I definitely made the right call; our photos turned out beautifully! I couldn’t have asked for a better session. He was great with our boys, got all the best light and backgrounds, and his eye is flawless. He even did a couple of headshots for both me and my husband during the session, and they’re perfect. Very highly recommend!

We were traveling in the Shenandoah Vally area celebrating our 25th Anniversary and I want to have photos taken of us. I checked out reviews of local photographers and Sean had so many wonderful things said about him and his work so we scheduled with him. He was great to work with, making us feel so at ease , like we were just on a wonderful afternoon outing. We loved the setting he chose and the photographs were amazing. I would highly recommend Sean for your next photo session.

Absolutely recommend Sean for anyone needing professional headshots! My first session didn’t go quite as planned since I showed up less prepared than I should have been, and it showed in the photos. When I asked if we could retake them in a couple days he scheduled me on the spot and in 48 hours I went back and got a photo I like! If you’re looking for a photographer who is accommodating and cares about the final result go here!

Sean was absolutely fantastic and made our engagement and wedding day perfect! He truly cares about you as a couple and does everything in his power to not only give you top notch photos, but make the process of getting married extra special. He went above and beyond our expectations time and time again! Plus his work is the highest quality, our photos were amazing. I would 100% recommend Sean Thurston Photography!

YOU MUST MUST MUST HAVE SEAN TAKE YOUR PHOTOS!! No matter the occasion! He is the best photographer to work with! He’s funny, outgoing, caring, kind and just overall a wonderful person to know and work with as well as very professional! Sean did our engagement pictures as well as all of our wedding pictures! We look forward to using Sean again in the future for our future family photos and other occasions!
