 Edizen, It's hard to find enough glowing words to tell you how happy we are with the work you did for us yesterday taking the photos, making the key-rings from them, and doing every bit of it so professionally and with such verve and creativity. You were, each of you, magnificent! I want you to know I will be talking about you and recommending you whole-heartedly whenever possible. You played a huge part in making the Kick-off the success it was and I thank you so very much - Venice Paparazzi is absolutely awesome.

The Venice Paparazzi is a wonderful addition to our many activities in our Venice community. Their photographs record the many important Venice events, the people who provide the time and energy to produce these events, and the people who participate and attend. I feel they provide a very much needed service that records who, what, where, when and how as to what is happening in Venice.
Their photographs are very good in their capturing the spirit of the people and the event they are photographing. They anticipate including more video filming of the Venice events in the very near future.
The Venice Paparazzi are very charming, personable, enthusiastic and lovely to interact with, presenting an ambience of goodwill and confidence.
Sincerely, Emily Winters, Venice Artist and Activist www.veniceartscouncil.org |
“Edizen Stowell and everyone associated with Venice Paparazzi are an incredibly
fun and energetic addition to any type of event. They are especially effective in capturing the vibe of our local Venice events, as they know the community and are well liked by all. They always create the most professional and beautiful photographs of our events, without being at all intrusive to the event participants. Just having them there contributes so much to the festivities, and we have been able to use the photographs to entice new people to come to our other events, because they look like so much fun in the photos.” -Kristen Laskaris, Development Director, Venice Community Housing Corporation.

 VP does an outstanding job taking pictures of our events. The quality and the passion of there pictures can be seen in every picture they take. They provide positive advertising for our events and are a professional organization. They have enhanced the Venice community by putting events on the internet that other wise would never get positive publicity. We look forward to inviting them to our next event."

 An article in our local Venice newspaper written by Karl Abrams. Whether it’s a local red carpet event with cameras flashing or a Venetian bohemian reading poetry on the beach, the photographers of the Venice Paparazzi will probably be there, enthusiastically snapping spontaneous photos that are, if you have no objections, blended together into a beautifully crafted internet web site (venicepaparazzi.com) for all to see. Here you will have your instant place in Venice history and even–if you want– a new sense of feeling like a celebrity. Click here to read more

 Edizen & Venice Paparazzi know how to document a visual story – any event they cover is photographed with enthusiasm and perfection – I recommend them highly!

 Venice Paparazzi is so great because they embody everything that is great about Venice Beach. They are creative, fun, out of the box thinkers, and make everyone smile. They are also edgy-and you see that in their photos. They have captured the best parts of our parties."
"First they are more then "just photographers". Of course they bring their cameras and other equipment, but they also bring life to a party. Their photographs capture the best side of an event and its people, and their presence at the event brings out the best side of the people. It may sound cliché, but every party we had that was photographed by Venice Paparazzi has been significantly better."
"The other thing that they add is in their name-the Paparazzi aspect. People love to be photographed. We all love attention, and it feels good to embrace the camera and photographer. This adds a new depth to party-going that an event planner cannot orchestrate themselves.I have know Edizen and the Venice Paparazzi for more than two years now. They truly care about Venice and its residents."
Alex Rose. Venice Resident |
 "When you have Venice Paparazzi at an event it adds excitement and an extra dimension to our venue. People always enjoy feeling likecelebrities in there own backyard, and they all are to us!"
"Without crowding our guests, the Venice Paparazzi photographer teams get excellent coverage of an event. They are great at blending in, or wrangling willing guests to pose and strut for the cameras." "I love the warm, neighborly attitude that each and every VenicePaparazzi bring to our venue. They always have great big smiles and lots of energy.”
