Paul at Live By the Sea Photography are so professional and friendly, they are a delight to deal with.

The photos were spectacular and showcased the design brilliantly. I am so proud to have their photos on my Houzz profile and my own website and have received many compliments on this project which I’m sure is contributed to the beautiful photography. The creative talent results in absolutely beautiful shots and I would highly recommend this lovely company to fellow designers and architects, brilliant.

I will definitely be using Paul over and over again.
