Testimonials
Peter Ripa
CEO, Farmers Insurance Open
“We were happy with our photography services partner but, the quality and service with Golfotos just took us to another level.”
Julianne Alarcio
Sr. Manager, Community Relations, Farmers Insurance Open
“We have worked with Terri and Susan of Golfotos for our Pro-Ams for the last five years, and of our more than 20 Pro-Am specific vendors, we can say that Golfotos is at the top of our list. Among the many qualities that make them best-in-class is their responsiveness, reliability, efficiency, flexibility, keen attention to detail and ability to create a friendly rapport with our clients during the event. They are a small shop, which means you get the best of their team every time, versus larger photography companies who may send different photographers for each event. Golfotos is also self-sufficient and makes sure that they are doing everything they can to make my life as easy as possible. As well, they truly treat each photo and photo plaque as if it is a personal gift from them to one of our nearly 400 guests. We believe that great events are only possible by ensuring that you have a capable, dedicated team. For the Farmers Insurance Open, we consider Golfotos as part of our team that ensures our guests have a world-class experience, and look forward to working with them for years to come.”
Mark Love
Executive Director, The RSM Classic
“The RSM Classic and the Davis Love Foundation have been fortunate to have a relationship with GOLFOTOS since our inaugural year in 2010 and we don’t see anything changing that. Terri and Susan are not only talented, efficient, responsive and professional in every way, they are fun to work with and always bring tremendous energy to our event.”
Tiffany Nelson
Executive Director, Charles Schwab Cup Championship
“We’ve worked with Golfotos for several years in supporting our photography needs from honorary observer program to our official pro-am events. Terri and Susan are very personable and professional to our corporate clients as they capture the moments with our PGA TOUR Champions. Working with Susan and Terri you’ll feel and notice the time, creativity and passion they put into our event. There photography services have exceeded our expectations.”
Joe Rotellini
Executive Director
Constellation SENIOR Players Championship
I have been working with Terri and Susan from Golfotos for many years, starting with the Liberty Mutual Insurance Legends of Golf in Savannah., and now with the Constellations SENIOR PLAYERS Championship in Pittsburgh, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore. "Golfotos is by far the best in the business with their stellar golf background as touring professionals, customer service skills, and ability to exceed our guest’s expectations with their customized product. These ladies understand how important our Pro-Am guests are to the success of our event; which is why I will continue to have them provide our Pro-Am photography. No matter the challenge; budget, weather, last minute changes, etc., they have always continued to over-deliver. You will not be disappointed with the selection of Golfotos for your next event."
Julia Schmitt
Events Manager, Genesis Open
TGR Live, Tiger Woods Foundation
“The Golfotos girls are one of a kind! Their upbeat and enthusiastic demeanor in person is also represented in their work. The quality of their photos are always phenomenal, and with the vast variety of options, I’m always able to find something that fits our brand well and is received by guests famously. It is always a pleasure working with them.” – let me know if you need me to tweak at all!
Katy Pradella
Sr. Tournament Services Manager
PGA Tour Champions, Powershares QQQ Championship
“I have worked with Golfotos for over 10 years and counting and would recommend their services to any event or tournament. Golfotos has assisted me with everything from Pro-Am and Honorary Observer photos to photographing our parties and evening functions. They are always professional in nature and have a smile on their faces. They arrive early, organize their inventory, set up their equipment and also inquire as to how they can help. They are excellent communicators and very appropriate when working with our VIP clients and golf professionals. In most cases, the professionals know Terri and Susan by name. I definitely plan to continue to partner with Golfotos in the future and look forward to working with them annually.”
Kristi Lee Fowlks
Tournament Services Manager
Charles Schwab Cup Championship
“Golfotos is an exceptional photography services company that I’ve used for years. Terri and Susan always meet my expectations and demands on our tournament needs. I’ve truly enjoyed working with these two ladies and they will get any assignment done and provide the best quality of their product to you. Very flexible, attentive, professional and able to craft a unique project for your needs.”
