If you're reading this review, look no further for your photographer because here she is! Andrea was born for making our special days magical. She is the calming presence you need on a hectic day. She has ALL the ideas and all the angles to make sure you look your best and have so many pictures to choose from. She works with light AND wind to make your pictures extra special. She gets all those special details that would otherwise be missed, and makes them the star. She parties right with you, your family and your friends on the dance floor to get those super fun, amazing photos that will bring back the most treasured memories of your day. And she'll even do all that with a broken toe. Legitimately, she showed up to our rehearsal dinner/wedding and was on her feet the entire time like nothing was different, all while wearing a boot. If that isn't commitment and dedication, I don't really know what is. You can absolutely tell this is Andrea's passion. She takes her craft seriously, and even does continuing education to get the latest and greatest photography techniques. We consider ourselves very very fortunate to have her to document our special day, but even more lucky to just know her. Her aura is a whole vibe that you must have around you. As my now-husband says, Andrea is a "beast" with a camera. She's also a beautiful soul, and that just puts her over the top for us. read more

From the day that we met Andrea, we knew she was the one we wanted to photograph our special day! She was super attentive, helpful, and fun to work with. My husband and I tend to be more awkward with getting our pictures taken, but Andrea made us feel comfortable and at ease. Between our engagement and wedding, we loved our pictures. We had soo many that we loved that it was SO hard to narrow it down for our wedding album. Andrea was super helpful when it came to choosing our photos and made sure that our album was telling a story of our magical day. I would 1000% recommend Andrea to anyone. She was originally in the bay area, but has relocated to Georgia during the pandemic. Even with this, she made working with her remotely a breeze. We will definitely fly her out and book her for our maternity shoot when it comes the time! read more

Andrea was simply amazing. I have a big loud and opinionated family but that was no obstacle for Andrea. She got everyone in the right place and captured some truly amazing moments. My wife and I are so happy we hired Andrea. She captured memories we will cherish for a lifetime. read more

Andrea, I do not know where to start! Your work is absolutely stunning, from the first day we met you at the Wedding Extravaganza, we connected with your charisma and enthusiasm. No regrets, we knew you were our perfect match :) Working with you was such a great experience, from the engagement session to the wedding day, you were always on top of everything, even the small details, you made sure everyone looked their best. I appreciate your prompt response, your flexibility,& your caring. You were always there 1000%. You are passionate for your job and your photographs are proof of it. I am IN LOVE with it , I may go back to that day and enjoy it all over again! read more

Andrea took my engagement pictures! Let me Just say she met my expectations! Before the shoot I sent her picture off of Pinterest that I wanted for my shoot! SHE NAILED IT! I'm very pleased with how my pictures turned out. My fiancé dislikes taking pictures but she was able to work with him and capture great images! Highly Recommended Thanks Andrea! read more

I cannot stress enough how amazing Andrea is! I would give her 6 stars if I could! If you make one choice about a vendor for your wedding or engagement photos, make it this one, you will not regret it. I have had Andrea as my photographer for the past 2 years. She did an engagement photo shoot, an "elopement shoot" when we had to cancel our big wedding do to COVID, and finally our grand wedding once it was rescheduled. I have never met a photographer who was more responsive and who loved their job more than Andrea. When I first booked Andrea she was in the San Jose area and we had booked her for our wedding in Oregon. Between booking and COVID, she had moved to Atlanta, but still made it out to Oregon for our wedding without a hitch. Andrea is a beautiful person and an amazing photographer. It is all the little details and touches that make her truly special. I cannot imagine myself ever using another photographer again, even if it means flying to Atlanta to do it! Book Andrea, you can't go wrong!! read more

Andrea is absolutely amazing! My husband and I hired Andrea to take pictures for our Nepali, Hindu wedding weekend with 4 events. We don't live in California but our wedding events took place in the bay area. We were a little nervous about doing our wedding in a city we weren't familiar with. With multiple events to plan, Andrea helped us every step of the way through her reliable communication, strategic planning, strong organization, and reassurance. She is professional, creative, and a visionary. During our consultations, Andrea would always take time to walk through every detail of the events to make sure we were always on the same page. She created a space with energy that allowed for us to work together to share ideas and visions of how we wanted the pictures to turn out. This was all over phone and email conversation! She never rushed our meetings, made sure all our questions were answered, and our concerns were addressed. Since we couldn't meet in person regularly, Andrea took the initiative and time to scout some places we could take pictures and sent video messages so we had a very clear idea of what the venues would look like. This made things so much easier for us because it was one less thing we had to worry about. She also did a ton of research on Hindu weddings so she knew which moments to prioritize, especially during the ceremony. In person, she was calm, charismatic, and fully engaged with us. This was the case during our in-person meeting, and throughout the wedding. During the wedding weekend, Andrea arrived early to all of our events and stayed late if needed to ensure that she captured all of the special moments. She always checked in to make sure we were on schedule, was flexible when we needed to make last minute changes, and notified us before she wrapped up in case there was something specific we wanted. She gave my husband and I some poses to try, and same with our wedding party. Following her lead made things easier for us. She was kind to our family and friends, and was happy to take their photos with no hesitation. Lastly, Andrea returned our photos in a timely manner and they turned out great! We are so happy with them. Our entire experience from start to finish was seamless. We felt like Andrea was a part of our group of close friends with her presence and ability to connect with everyone. I cannot stress enough that you don't need to think twice when it comes to picking Andrea to document your special event! read more

Andrea is a wonderful photographer. She captured our love, our goofiness, and our life together during our really fun engagement shoot on the Ellwood Bluffs. What we received (less than two weeks later) were some absolutely amazing photographs! Andrea and her assistant were great to work with, and let us explore the world as we normally would, making us feel extremely comfortable, suggesting great poses, and even encouraging my fiance to run home to grab the motorcycle for some riding shots! We look forward to working with her again soon, and I would definitely recommend her to friends, family, and you! read more

I've never written a yelp review before. Up until now I've used and abused yelp for my own benefit (usually to look for a great bite to eat) but today I want YOU to benefit. If you are considering using Andrea's photography services consider your decision made. She is as good as it gets. I have my own photography business and I have worked along side many photographers along the way but none with the skill and charisma as Andrea. Working with her was something I will always treasure. When she found out my boyfriend had proposed this past winter she offered to do our engagement photos and I was through the roof. I couldn't imagine trusting anyone else with the job. After only a few minutes of hearing her ideas and suggestions I was bouncing with excitement and couldn't wait to set a date! My fiancé is NOT a fan of having his photo taken and so I was slightly concerned about how that would translate onto our photos. However, Andrea was able to put his mind where it needed to be and eventually he forgot she was even taking photographs. You can see the love we share in those beautiful moments, not only in the shots Andrea was able to capture but also those she helped create. :) read more

Andrea de Anda Photography - Can you feel the love? Thanks to Andrea you can. My fiancé isn't a fan of being in front of the camera but you would never know. - Event Photography Near Me - Cumming, California

I love Andrea and her work!!! My engagement pictures turned out amazing! She was able to make us comfortable (as were not good at taking pictures) and let loose and have fun! She's so personable and understands what your vision is. She'll be shooting our wedding and I can to wait for that day and see our story from that day through her photographs! read more

Andrea is truly a blessing. From our first meeting, to the wedding day, to the delivery of the pictures she was a dream to work with. She has an amazing eye for capturing the best moments and we will have amazing memories for a life time. Thank you Andrea! read more

I hired Andrea De Anda for my surprise engagement this past summer in Spyglass Park in Pismo Beach, CA. I was very nervous as I was selecting a photographer to capture our special day and didn't know much about the photographers in Central Coast as I lived in Southern California. I found Andrea De Anda on Yelp and so glad that I did! She was able to set up for the surprise engagement and captured the proposal in it's entirety. My fiance had no clue she was taking pictures until about after 5 minutes after she said yes, which was when Andrea introduced herself. The photos were great and both my fiance and I were beyond happy with the work she did! If your looking for a event photographer, do yourselves a favor and call her for a booking. You will not regret it. Seriously, give her a call! read more

Andrea is an incredible photographer! My husband and I had to change our wedding plans due to local COVID-19 regulations, and we ended up having a "micro-wedding" in our backyard with just our parents and two siblings in attendance. Andrea made the entire day feel so special and elevated. She captured the most amazing photos, and made me feel like the most beautiful bride. She is so creative and easy to work with, we were laughing and having fun the whole day! I highly recommend working with Andrea! read more

We love Andrea as our photographer! 10/10 for customer service. 10/10 for fast and considerate communication. 10/10 for price and packages offered. 10/10 for her companion photographer Leanna 10/10 for someone who completely gets nerded out with photography! 10/10 for how well she worked with our family, guests, and staff. 10/10 for how fast she sent us final photographs and all original high definition photos on USB drive. 10/10 that I will recommend her to everyone I know. It is very nerve racking when comes to selecting a wedding photographer. Someone who is going to capture all the important memories for years to come. Someone who is honest and nice to work with from the initial consultation to when you get all your final finished pictures. Someone who has a genuine concern for what is best for you. Someone who is a good communicator, who returns your emails and questions right away in courteous language. Someone who is straightforward and honest. Someone who work with a simple contract. Someone who has a special artistic eye, who gets the right color balance, picture composition, light focus on the main story of the picture, and someone who can really tell the story of a beautiful wedding to everyone who view the pictures. We had a very special multi-racial and cross cultural wedding with lots of colors and different traditions throughout. Our wedding did not flow like the typical wedding. Still, Andrea and her assistant photographer flowed through the wedding smoothly. She caught all the memorable moments and lots of other surprise moments. We would definitely recommend Andrea for you to make an artistic record of your special moments! Cheers! read more

You will NOT be disappointed with Andrea! She does AMAZING work! We are still in awe! We've had two experiences with her; our engagement shoot and our wedding. She captured some moments that I didn't even realize so seeing the pictures just had everyone in tears! I love her work! Very easy to talk to and just a wonderful person overall! She has a great personality which made it easier to feel comfortable around (she made us feel like we knew her for years and weren't strangers at all!). She worked with our budget and was understanding about everything we suggested. I WILL definitely be going to her again in the future! read more

Our hired photographer cancelled just hours before my wedding began on MY WEDDING DAY claiming illness. Andrea was sent as a replacement and I was so upset and nervous because i never saw her work, didnt know anything about her and was left hanging. However, she truly was a blessing in disguise. She was beyond expectations and fit in so wonderfully with my family and friends. everyone adored her and she just doesn't "shoot" photos she embraces them passionately and celebrates the love between the couple. That is something no one can learn or teach. She will be our "family " photographer" from this point on! read more

I could not be happier that I chose Andrea de Anda's Wedding Photography for my engagement session. She is truly an artist and captured my fiance and I beautifully! I contacted her at the very last minute and she was more than accommodating! She was there early and didn't mind staying later to get every shot we wanted. In addition to being a wonderful photographer, Andrea was so fun to work with! She directed us to do creative poses and romantic shots all while letting us be natural at the same time. We were laughing the ENTIRE time. She's so cute and cracked jokes. She's great, I would definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone!! She's a gem!!!!! read more

Fantastic photographer!! Helped me with last minute senior pictures and they turned out amazing. Highly recommend! The prices are fair also.

My fiance and I feel so lucky to have found Andrea for our engagement photo shoot. Right away she made us feel so comfortable and we had a blast taking our pictures. Her personality is so great and her work in incredible. We are so in love with all of the photos that she captured of us. She really has a true gift when it comes to photography. We would highly recommend her to all of our family and friends! read more

Andrea de Anda photographer was AWESOME! She was our daughters wedding photographer in Pismo Beach last weekend. Great weather, great beach wedding and very professional photo's. Andrea was on time, actually early, took many pictures of everything from beginning to end and was so quiet and careful, most did not realize she was there. Andrea brought an assistant to help out and made respectful suggestions to improve the photo's. I would highly recommend her. She was so fun and attentive, fabulous pricing and wonderful pictures. Give her a chance, you will be so happy you did! read more

My maternity shoot with Andrea was so much fun. She is so kind, friendly and supportive! I am 30 weeks pregnant and feel bigger than a house. Andrea was able to support me in so many ways during the session. I honestly expected to hate the pictures due to feeling large but I absolutely loved them.... I even cried so much when I saw them. Andrea is very attentive to every detail moving my fly away hair and making sure my wedding ring was straight for detailed perfect pictures. You will not regret any photo shoot with Andrea! read more

My husband and I decided to elope and Andrea was almost there as fast as we made our decision! She was a true blessing!! She is truly an artist that knows her way around a camera. She is inspiring and encouraging. Andrea made our day very special and we have excellent photos to have and remember for a life-time. Andrea knows her way around the central coast and is able to capture some, otherwise, unimaginable photos. Thank you Andrea, you are one class act! Eric & Cathy read more

I absolutely loved my maternity photoshoot with Andrea! She is very friendly, easy to work with and very professional. In one hour Andrea created three different styles for me and prepared stunning photos! I definitely recommend Andrea if you want to have unique memories of your special event. read more

It was a pleasure working with Andrea!! She is kind hearted, calm and professional. She made us feel at ease through out our wedding. We love our pictures and appreciate her talent. Would recommend her over and over again. read more

I can not recommend Andrea De And a high enough, I am a professional Photographer so you can imagine how hard it was for me to have someone else to take photos at my wedding, but WOW, Andrea was incredible, she had an excellent eye but also an amazing manner and charm about her. Even helping out with little extras that she did not need to at all but just helped me out so much, she had a wonderful eye for unique and dynamic photo opportunities at the courthouse in Santa Barbara, I can not recommend Andrea high enough, I would suggest her wholly and I don't mind if anyone would like to contact me so I could explain in person how incredible she was, Thank you so much Andrea, you went above and beyond in every way and helped so much in making our day so special, my family is still raving now about how amazing she was! read more

Andrea and her assistant Gabby did an incredible job with my wedding photos! My husband and I got married in Santa Barbara and were looking for a way to have a great photographer and not break the bank. Andrea was recommended by a friend and didn't disappoint. We requested her for 4 hours- the start of our ceremony through cake-cutting. She arrived beforehand, coordinated our shoot, provided ideas for pictures (and seemed to have a really great game plan on how/what shots were needed), was totally open to feedback, and was incredibly kind the whole time. Andrea was especially great with detail. Even though we chose a smaller package, she made sure she got photos of all the things that were most important to us- family portraits, the ceremony, cake cutting, the first dance, and toasts. When I received the photos from Andrea (which came in a gorgeous box with a flash drive, handwritten note, and a gift), it was even more evident that she is incredibly thoughtful about even small details. Coming from LA and coordinating a wedding that didn't break the bank in Santa Barbara was stressful. But Andrea made it all feel very easy. Price: Excellent- really high quality work at a price you won't find anywhere else in Santa Barbara Product: Excellent- the photos are gorgeous. We have a good mixture of traditional, stock, and goofy things that we wanted as a couple. Customer Service: Excellent- Andrea is incredibly accommodating, fast to respond, and friendly. We'd work with her again anytime, Thanks, Andrea! read more
