Every Person Has A Story Worth Telling...
I get excited about every wedding because it's another chance to meet new people and to create wonderful, natural and authentic images.There's not really a name for my style. I just love to capture those fleeting moments that fly by so fast you don't realize they happened until you see the images for the first time. My technique is definitely a mixed bag of photojournalism and contemporary. Every wedding is truly unique and I try to cover the day in an unobtrusive manner, but at the same time I like to have fun and make the photos a celebration. I love to hang out for the whole day so I don't have an hour restriction. You are free to enjoy the day without having to watch the clock. My goal is to create images with a flair and spontaneity that you and your family will cherish for years to come. I'm very passionate about wedding photography, but what really excites me is seeing the reaction of my clients when they see their images for the first time and get to relive those wonderful fleeting moments over again and again. I'm a member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) and an international award winner. I've also been honored to have my work featured in some of the nation's top bridal magazines, bridal web sites and blogs.

Terrence was extremely helpful right off the bat. We first met him at our wedding venue's bridal show. We immediately knew he would be a perfect fit and decided to ask him to reserve our date. He did not disappoint as he made himself immediately available for pur engagement photos and eventual wedding date. All of the items that were part of his wedding package did not disappoint either which included a wedding guestbook and our wedding book. If you want someone who will take wedding photos that show the fun and enjoyment of family and friends at your wedding then go with Terrence!

We would like to thank you again for your amazing work with our wedding and engagement photo shoots. Not only are the pictures amazing (which other people can see for themselves), but what can't be known from looking at your work is how great it was to work with you. We enjoyed having you there for a very important moment in our lives, and your ability to capture all the best moments has made it possible for us to treasure the memories forever. We would recommend you to anybody enthusiastically and without hesitation.

Terrence was INCREDIBLE to work with! His photos are pure artistic genius! After meeting with several other photographers, we met with Terrence and immediately knew that he was the right person to capture the memories for our big day. He was more than willing to work with us to customize a package that fit our needs and budget. He went above and beyond the call of duty, by making a point knowing each and every member of our 12 person bridal party by name, and had the amazing ability to be fully present on our day without being invasive in any way. He has a charming, calm, professional, yet fun presence that is perfect for a wedding photographer. He was punctual, professional, and truly has an eye for AMAZING photos. He captures it all and then some! I honestly have nothing but wonderful things to say about Terrence and his team and recommend him without the slightest hesitation. You are one in a million Terrence! I cannot thank you enough!!

Terrence photographed our Santa Barbara wedding. Working with Terrence was an awesome experience. We were immediately impressed with how amazing his photos looked compared to all of the other photographers we had spent months researching. As far as we were concerned, our photographer was our most important vendor so we were very picky. Not only was he within our budget, he also adjusted the photography package we signed up for since we had previously had an engagement shoot the year before by offering us other extras to make up for the value of that shoot. When we met after the expo to discuss details and review more of his work, he drove out to a spot five minutes from our house instead of having us drive to him. We were immediately impressed with his awesome personality and the quality of work he offered. With our permission, he hired a secondary photographer to help cover our wedding, and she was just as awesome as he was. Our wedding had multiple locations and they covered everything. They photographed us getting ready at the hotel, our first look in a garden near the ceremony site, our ceremony on the cliffs over the beach, and our reception at a beautiful old ballroom. Everything was gorgeous! He was completely professional and focused on the big day, working flawlessly with our videographer (who we made sure knew that photography had priority over videography). All of the other vendors who worked around him, including our day-of-coordinator, had nothing but compliments for how he handled himself and worked with them and us. In the end, he quickly had hundreds of photos edited and ready for us to review on his website. They were even more gorgeous than we were hoping for. Everything about working with Terrence was perfect start to finish. We couldn't recommend him enough! Thank you Terrence!!!

Our choice for our photographer was the best in regards to all of our vendors! The pictures are absolutely amazing and Terrence was a joy to have around on the day of our wedding. He was extremely easy to get ahold of and was very responsive to any questions and concerns I had. You can't go wrong with Bishop Photography!

We absolutely loved working with Terrence Bishop and we are so happy with the beautiful photos he and his assistant Michelle took during our wedding last January. He really takes his time to get you know you as a couple and he puts you at ease from the very first meeting. He made our engagement shoot fun and came up with great ideas on the spot. We are so happy with our photos from the wedding and we are still getting compliments from friends and family. We highly recommend Bishop Photography!

This is by far the best Photographer...I have a big family with a lot of relatives to deal with and Terrence and his team were patient and worked well with my family to get the best pictures. I was amazed at the pictures we got back from Bishop Photography. In fact, a co-worker of my husband's said she was a photographer who shot weddings. When she saw our pictures, she was no longer a photographer, her work didn't come close to the great stuff we got from Bishop photography. One of the best things about Terrence is he doesn't take no for an answer and he doesn't settle. Our wedding site had 2 designated spots for pictures. But those locations weren't ideal, with the lighting and so on. Terrence had the wedding site coordinators find another, a better location so that our pictures would be perfect. That was something that really stood out to me and that I am grateful for.
