A husband and wife photography team. We love going on adventures, whether it's a rock-climbing trip, surfing, or just trying a new take out place.

Since then we have photographed many amazing couples! We can't wait to meet you and hear about your story!

Every journey I take with new couples isn't just taking on a new client its forging a life long bond that will be remembered forever. The moments we'll help you create are the most important moments of your lives and we want the experience to leave you smiling.

    We are deeply disappointed with our experience with Quanti from The Bomanis, both in terms of professionalism and the quality of the photos. From the outset, he didn’t exude the level of professionalism one would expect from a photographer of his caliber. When my wife provided constructive feedback on the photos, he raised his tone in defense, which was unnecessary and unprofessional. After transferring the end of service to his partner Johanna, he abruptly  cancelled the scheduled meeting and limited all conversation through email. We rented a classic car specifically for the photoshoot, expecting it to play a significant role in capturing the essence of the moment. Unfortunately, Quanti didn’t put in enough effort to highlight the car or the moment, leaving us feeling like an important aspect of our vision was completely overlooked. This is not the first time we’ve expressed our dissatisfaction. We’ve communicated our concerns to him numerous times, but instead of addressing them, he repeatedly put us to the side. For example, when we interviewed him, we specifically asked that he guide and pose us for flattering photos. Instead, the photos came out with unflattering poses, awkward backgrounds, and little thought to composition. Perhaps the most upsetting moment was at the courthouse. We were about to take a meaningful photo at a specific spot, but Quanti let his wife, who is also a photographer, take over the location for her shoot and redirected us to a random, uninspiring spot without much consideration. While Quanti prides himself on customer satisfaction, it was clear that he was more concerned with defending his own reputation and his motive is money rather than artistry or customer service.  We’ve requested to work things out and after seeing that the effort has not been made to try to amend losses and meet our expectations, we ended by request a partial refund which was denied. The lack of effort, professionalism, and thoughtfulness in his work left us deeply disappointed. We cannot recommend his services based on this experience. I am posting this review so that other couples that are trying to capture a very special moment will not have similar unfortunate circumstances.  I also want to make his services very transparent, as he seems to be deceiving in his posts via The Bomanis, Quanti, A Films and initial agreements. One example of deceitfulness is that he posted photos of our shoot and the caption is all positive as though we had a positive experience with his services despite us making known our dissatisfaction. I have attached screenshots of the conversation between the Bomanis and my wife, and a few examples of the many random unposed shots that were included in our wedding package.

    Response from vendorJan 10, 2025
    Thank you for sharing your thoughts once again. We acknowledge your concerns and remain committed to addressing them with clarity and transparency. 1. Professionalism and Communication: We transitioned communication to email to maintain clear and documented correspondence, ensuring that all discussions were accurately recorded. This decision was made to uphold professionalism and focus on resolving issues effectively. Contrary to your claims, our team maintains a respectful tone in all interactions. 2. Event Vision and Expectations: Your decision to rent a classic car for your photoshoot was noted, and we included the car in multiple images as part of your gallery. However, the creative direction of posing and composition aligns with the candid and natural style we specialize in, as outlined in our portfolio and initial agreement. While we understand you may have envisioned a different approach, our style prioritizes authentic storytelling over heavily posed setups. 3. Courthouse Location, Timeline, and Delays: At the Santa Barbara Courthouse, we worked collaboratively to manage multiple shoots while respecting the time and space of all parties involved. It is important to emphasize that delays to your civil ceremony and subsequent photoshoot were caused by both your late arrival and your family’s tardiness to the ceremony and reception. These delays limited opportunities to execute all envisioned moments within the contracted timeframe. Despite these challenges, we adapted as best as possible to capture meaningful moments within the available time. 4. Photography Style and Composition: Your request for guided posing was accommodated within the time and circumstances provided. While your gallery includes a mix of candid and posed shots, any dissatisfaction regarding composition is directly influenced by the aforementioned delays, which restricted our ability to fully meet your expectations within the agreed timeline. 5. Attempts to Defame Reputation: We have noticed your efforts to post multiple reviews across different platforms, containing inaccuracies and malicious content aimed at defaming The Bomanis’ reputation. While we respect every client’s right to share their experience, spreading misleading or defamatory information is both harmful and unwarranted. We stand firmly by the professionalism, transparency, and quality of our services and will not allow false narratives to misrepresent our business. 6. Refund Request and Final Deliverables: As stated in our terms and conditions, which were agreed upon before booking, refunds are not offered after services have been rendered. The screenshots and photos you referenced are part of your sneak peek gallery, which is a preview and not reflective of the final edited images. Additionally, captions accompanying any shared photos reflect the artistic vision and professionalism of our team, not an endorsement of your specific experience. We have taken the time to address your feedback thoroughly and reiterate that all terms, conditions, and creative directions were agreed upon prior to your event. While we respect your opinion, we stand by the professionalism and quality of our work. Sincerely Quanti Bomani The Bomanis

    Quanti took his time to find every perfect shot. He made us feel comfortable ,light, and easy. He was able to find an area away from the Halloween crowd to get a more intimate feel for our wedding photos. Thank you Quanti! We appreciate all your time and effort for both days you had with us.

    Quanti- Thank you from the bottom of my heart for capturing our beautiful day. As a bride you think you know what pictures you want to see but boy was I wrong. You captured some of my favorite moments from our day and some I didn’t realize I would cherish. Thank you for loving what you do and for helping others see their day through your eyes.
