Amy has a remarkable way of making our teenagers feel so comfortable in front of the camera. For those of you who know that can be an extremely daunting task. She makes them feel so confident in themselves. She make each pose so purposeful with every hand placement, chin placement, eye placement. She is stellar at creating comfortable groupings with balanced colors. I nicknamed Amy "Our Magician" because she is a magician of the light. She takes the most heartfelt vivid images and turns them into our most precious treasures. If it can be helped, I will never hire another photographer other than Amy. She is worth every single penny.

My daughter was able to participate in 2 separate photo shoots with Gypsy Pearl and both times the photo's have turned out better than I could ever imagine! Amy has always been warm and professional with my daughter and patient with kids (one of the shoots was a kids shoot for a upcoming personal care line). She has been quick to respond to emails and very easy to work with. I only wish I had known about her when it was my wedding, I am astonished by how beautiful she makes every bride (and kids and family and teens, the list goes on).

She is so friendly and easy to work with. The day of the wedding she was incredibly professional, thorough, and even helped make sure everyone was where they were supposed to be. She had a great attitude and was so nice to have around on what can be a super stressful day. She had a few sample shots back to me within 24 hours, and all my photos were ready in a month. The photos are even more beautiful than I hoped for. She managed to capture all the happiness and love we felt that day surrounded by friends and family. I will definitely use Amy again if I ever have photography needs, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

We are so grateful that we found her. Thank you so much Amy!

He was very easy to communicate via email before our reception and made sure to get all the details he needed before our big day. Justin was able to capture the complete vibe of our reception and we are so grateful! Cannot recommend him enough!

Justin is a great photographer, has a super laid back and welcoming demeanor and his prices are affordable. He's also great at communication and was flexible with us as we had to change our wedding date 3 times (with an original March 2020 wedding - ugh COVID) I've referred him to a few other friends as well. And everyone at our wedding loved working with him!

We went all around Austin to our favorite or memorable spots and John had a smile the whole time! He was able to tell us where to stand and what to do to make the pics look good. I always think as these photo shoots can be so awkward, at least for me, but John made it easy and comfortable and we had a lot of laughs. We took the pics Saturday and by Sunday he had already sent us several to choose from for our save the date. The quality of the photos blew us and our family away. Now we finally have some good pictures !!! I will definitely be going back for all my photography needs!

Still have all of the original emails / will post pictures - in case they try to contest it, so you can see how unprofessional the husband was arguing with my wife.

He was wonderful to work with, using creative techniques to get us comfortable and pose-ready even though both of us are somewhat camera shy. You can tell John is a dad because he's great with kids and is just plain old nice. Not only are his photos GORGEOUS and his editing top notch, his turnaround is super quick. He got us a whole set of edited photos within a week of our big day! We highly recommend If2bysea to capture the beautiful moments of any event.

We did an engagement shoot with him before our wedding day. The photos were beautiful, and it really helped us get comfortable shooting with him. He is so personable, and pleasant to work with and put us at ease right away. On the day of the wedding he was great about getting all of the specific shots we had asked for and had such great ideas for super creative and unique shots that I hadn't thought of. He captured so many beautiful and organic moments of us with our bridal parties and families. He did a perfect job of capturing the magic of that day for us. When I look at back at the pictures, nothing feels overly posed or static. Every image evokes all of the excitement and joy that everyone felt that day. The turnaround time for getting our photos back was unbelievable. We were fully expecting to wait months to see all of the photos but we had a preview album within days, and all of our photos within weeks. Aside from photographing our wedding beautifully, John was just truly just so much fun to work with. He was easy going and calm and made us feel so comfortable, like he was one of our guests. We would absolutely hire John again and recommend him to anyone looking for a super talented photographer to capture the magic of their big day. Thank you so much, John!

Did my google searching for photographers in Houston and contacted about a dozen. Perhaps half responded they weren't available, and half didn't respond. However, one adorable young lady in Austin (3 hours away), Julia Vie of Vivian's Muse, said she was very excited about shooting me! We exchanged several emails about the process and logistics and had an extended phone chat. My trepedation morphed into excitement and anticipation. Let's do this!! The big day! Julia shot perhaps 400 photos in an hour or so, all the while offering instruction, incredible encouragement and showing me what she had captured in her viewfinder. All with a monster camera and first class professional lighting. We shot on the couch, on the stairway, in the window, on the bed. Woah, so exhilerating! Nervousness was gone and my inner goddess had taken over. I'm not one for exaggeration but this was truly one of the best hours of my life. Back the next morning to review and select proofs. Oh no, her computer jammed up, wasn't happening. No problem in the digital age. We had more girly chat, comparing notes on all of the fun we had had the preceding day. A few days later the proofs arrived via email. I was blown away. OH MY! That cannot possibly be me. But...it is! Being a goddess, even for a short while, really gets in your head. And stays there. Who would have thought the idea of having a little fun by trying something different would turn into a life changing event? Thank you so very, very much Julia! And, girls, if you have any lingering doubts about treating yourself to this experience, all I can say is do not delay, call Julia today! Hugs, Michelle

Don't put it off another day, book with Julia and see just how beautiful you are!

She's confident, comfortable directing guests, and gave us (the bride and groom) clear direction so we'd get the very best shots. Since she's photographed at Chapel Dulcinea so many times, she knew exactly how to work within our 1.5-hour ceremony window to get everything we wanted. She then joined us at our reception brunch and captured all the sentimental moments with our loved ones -- memories we'll treasure for a lifetime. Amy is friendly, professional, and willing to do what it takes for the perfect shot. And she delivered our photos surprisingly fast! Highly, highly recommend.

I was convinced I'd look awkward in front of the camera for my engagement/wedding pictures, but I really wanted to make sure we had photos for both.. I searched around, tried to find a photographer with pictures that captured the romance without unnecessary filtering and editing. I stumbled upon Amy's pictures and fell in love with her style and beautiful use of natural color and lighting. Amy exceeded my expectations tenfold. She was so friendly and approachable the whole time and made me and my (now) husband super comfortable in spite of our concerns. The time we spent together was actually a blast, and she'd give feedback to make sure that we looked our best and help us lighten up. The photoshoot felt like it flew by, and even though we were excited about getting our pictures back, we had NO idea that we were about to get an entire album FULL of INCREDIBLE pictures. That's right. It wasn't a matter of just picking 5 that we liked. We had trouble narrowing down our favorites because Amy rocked it SO HARD and we wound up with 200+ incredible pictures. I'm already looking forward to working with her again in the future so we have more photographed memories over the years. Cannot thank you enough, Amy!
