Joel is one of the hardest working photographers out there. He and his assistant arrived early and stayed to the very end. It’s also about the way he gets everyone to smile and puts them at ease – capturing precious soft moments. Both he and his assistant are unobtrusive and spontaneous. Duval did a great job w/the post production. B/W and B/W w/splash color. As photography was my husband’s main concern, Joel was def. the right choice. Thanks again to everyone at Duval helping make our day so special. We could not be happier.

short - direct and to the point , fantastic work, capturing everything out in front or behind the scenes at an affordable price. Duval did my sisters wedding three years ago and she was also pleased. Their Natural Style and pleasant personality was very much appreciated.
I would highly recommend.

What can we say but WOW! …AMAZING! …STUNNING! …BREATH-TAKING! The photo album shows the very essence that was important to us that day – the laughs, the smiles, the fun, the romance, the friends, the family, the charm, the enchantment, the atmosphere, the love …simply everything! – and you’ve managed to seal it in a visual image that depicts our memories of that day that we will love and cherish, and which will last us a lifetime!
Taddo & I will be waiting until Christmas when the entire family is gathered to watch the video. We are 110% sure it will be just as amazing as the album!
It was our absolute pleasure to have you take our wedding photographs and we had the most amazing day. We feel it's very safe to say that we will be in touch in the future should we need the slightest of pictures/portraits/photos taken. We will be sure to recommend you to everyone and anyone! We look forward to meeting up with you again to capture the next new chapter in our life!
Sincerely,
Lea &...

My husband and I are very pleased with Duval, not only was their work amazing, but they took the time to get to know us. We loved Duval so much that we recommended them to our friends and they loved them too. We would defiantly do business with Duval again.

We have heard great things about Duval's Photo & Video Services from many friends and family and were very pleased with them during our Wedding and afterwards when finalizing our photo/video. Elizabeth is great to work with and will offer you exactly what will fit in your budget and be very flexible about meeting with you to discuss the details. There are some very talented photographers at Duval and we were especially pleased with Joel's photojournalistic style. He was professional and entertaining when necessary , even the morning of the Wedding when we took pictures at home. Duval's photographers / videographers are very experienced in the many types of Indian weddings and will remember you when they see you at another event! Great job!

My husband was recently laid off, however, we still wanted to go ahead with our wedding plans. We had a very small wedding and a small budget for video and photo.
Duval's photos and video were outstanding. Duval treated us as if we were millionaires. We wanted mostly photo-journalistic style pix and video. They captured everything without being in your face. Both the photographer and videographer were laid back, not pushy...and they captured it all, every item and
detail. Thanking everyone at Duval...especially Joel, Lorraine, Felix and Glenn.
Elizabeth, the office mgr, went over my timeline with a microscope, discussing each and every detail. Photography and Duval are synonymous
Thank You Again, Tagrid and Mathew

The staff at Duval was incredible. They were knowledgeable, professional, curtious, and friendly.
There was no hard sell or pressure to book my wedding with them. They showed me different works from different photographers and when I decided which one best suited me and my fiance they set us up with an engagement shoot so that we could meet her. I knew immediately when we went on the shoot that I made the right choice. The day of our wedding I already knew my photographer and she knew what I wanted. The day was great. The photos and video were amazing. I cant say enough how much I love my album and video. I have since recommen 3 friends to Duval and they are to are happy with their choice. I would recomend them to anyone.

Duval was great from the getgo. They came highly recommended and as promised, they treated me as Joel's daughter.They always returned phone calls and emails
and gave a tremendous amount of good tips.
I just picked up my wedding album...drop dead gorgeous
They put so much time and energy into my album design including the plexi-cover,
I am so proud to display and show it off.
The only thing my husband wanted was a Blu-ray video of our wedding, he loves it.
crystal clear audo and visual. I, no, we highly recommend them. Our wedding was at Villa Lombardi's and that was awesome.

We had a large wedding of approximately 650 people. Duval took pictures and video from the start of our wedding day at both my wife's as well as my house, through the ceremony, reception and after-party. Duval provided professional service and ensured to stay one step ahead so they didn't miss any opportunities or the "perfect shot." They also worked with us to put the wedding album together and I would HIGHLY recommend them for your wedding/special occassion. They did such a great job that we had them return for pictures and videography for our son's 1st birthday and once again their service proved to be exceptional.

The staff at Duval are the funniest and most caring ever! I was greeted by my first name everytime I stopped in to ask a question which made me feel very comfortable. They are VERY willing to work with your budget and the quality of work is AMAZING. We got the coffee table album and EVERYONE comments on what a beautiful job they did.

I can't say enough about Duval Photo & Video. They were the only part of our wedding that we did not have to worry about at all! They flew all the way to Dallas 3 days in advance with their equipment and researched the area for photo opps and even spent time taking photos during our rehearsal and other functions - we didn't even have to ask! Their professionalism is only surpassed by their courtesy and friendliness. After the wedding, I was approached by many family members and guests complimenting the Duval team and their work during the events. The finished products (photo and video) were done in a timely manner and were even updated/edited according to our preferences. Their communication was great and they were always responsive. Duval's efforts to make their clients happy and maintain a good relationship is amazing and gives me reason to use them again and again!

Joel and team from Duval were extremely accomodating for our engagement party. They catered to needs and were familiar with our traditions and customs. They were very flexible with us on time and changes to our photo package. After the engagement luncheon, they had some time to spare before their next function that day, so they took us to a nearby park to take more pictures! I would definitely recommend Duval to anyone who wants a vendor that is stress-free!

Very professional service. I woudl have no trouble in recommending them to anyone (and we have). The guys were on time, very open to suggestions that we had on the day of wedding, and were very approachable.
As far as the end product goes, we were very happy with the albums and video. Once again, they were very open to ideas that we had. It wasnt just pre-canned albums with fixed covers or standard music/graphics for the video. We were able to choose all that ourselves and they sat down with us, patiently listend to our
requests, came back with samples.
As far as material was concerned, they caught all of the necessary parts of the events and gave us more. There was a technical problem with one of the discs (menus) would not work. Its a very common problem when burning discs. One call and a replacement set was available in approx 5 business days.
In hindsight, out of the several vendors that we used on the day of our wedding, Duval is one of the two that we have recommended to others without any hesitation.

Duval did a very nice job on my wedding video. My only wish is that I had the sense to use them for photography considering I still don't have my wedding pictures due to an unscrupulous company. Our videographer catches all the important moments and remained entirely discreet throughout the day. Some things I don't even remember him being close by for but sure enough it showed up in the video. The growing up pictures were set to the music of our choice perfected and it was edited perfectly as well. The only complaint is i had to wait a few months for the video due to the holidays and their machine breaking down. But overall everything was good, my 3 year love to watch the video endlessly if we let her :)

We used Duval's videography and were satisfied that they found a way to work within our budget. They were also flexible when it came to what time to show up, etc...which was very important for our wedding because we had somewhat of a unique schedule. The videographers, Joey and Anthony, were fun to work with and actually helped keep us calm during the day (an added benefit). We are looking forward to seeing our final video!

Duval was a professional photo/vindeographer. We had 4 cameramen total for our event. The quality of pictures were great, but they don't have a website so it was difficult to have family and friends order pictures. Also being that we live in different states than our parents, a website with images would have been better to select pictures. It's important to be very specific about pictures you want so they know what you are expecting.

The photographs themselves came out very nicely. On the other hand, we were very specific with the company that once we got to reception, they were to take a picture of each table, a few of us dancing, then LEAVE. You'd think this would have been a pleasure for them. I couldn't get the guy to go. He kept shoving his camera in my face and telling me to stop what I was doing so I could pose. That is not what I wanted, nor what I contracted them to do. They were the only thorn in my side on an otherwise perfect day.
