California’s Top Rated Local® Photographer Award Winner: Ambient Art Photography

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Ambient Art Photography is a 2018 award winner!

“We used Brett and Alicia for our wedding and engagement shots. They are definitely a dynamic duo, very professional and easy to work with. But most importantly, they both take priceless photos! Their sparkler send-off and sunset photos are an absolute must! We will definitely book them again in the future! Thank you once again to the Nelson Family! You guys rock!” -Daniel R.

“I have used this company twice, once for a family photo and another for a special science photo shoot. Alicia and Brett are both very professional. They also are wonderful with kids. That’s always a plus when you’re trying to get photos of little ones. Alicia also had a salon and does hair and makeup, and seeing her work through photos is pretty cool, too. Give them a call or shoot them an email. You won’t be disappointed.” -Megan A.

“Brett and Alicia are a fantastic team. They made me feel so special on my wedding day and took the best pictures. I loved them so much, I went back to do my maternity photos. Alicia did a fantastic job with my hair and makeup. These two are a very talented pair, and were the best decision I made when it came to my wedding photographer.” -Susan O.

These are just three of the reviews that helped Ambient Art Photography not only land in the top 10 photographers in California, but in the top 100 businesses altogether in the state.

Not Your Average Photographer

Our team got a chance to chat with Brett Nelson, the husband half of the husband-and-wife team that makes up Ambient Art Photography.

He and his wife, Alicia, take immense pride in the fact that they’ve been trained by the best and offer specialty services, like boudoir portraits. “We’re very fashion-centered with our portraits and make sure everyone looks their best. We spend a ton of time on editing to make sure everything looks perfect. We deliver over 1,000 photos, and most of the competition delivers half of that.”

Building Success By Going The Extra Mile

What’s the Ambient Art Photography secret to success? If you ask Brett, it’s that they “Try to go above and beyond for clients and exceed their expectations… We network very well and ask all of our clients to leave positive reviews.”

The following is Brett’s advice to other business owners who want to create stellar online reputations:

“Network and try to build great relationships. People tend to shy away from vendors and other photographers, but it is super important to build relationships. They ask for reviews all the time, after every single session, to ask how the experience went. You have to stay consistent.”


Thank you for speaking with us, Brett! Congratulations to the team at Ambient Art Photography for being a 2018 Top Rated Local award winner!
