She has been documenting my births and my family's growth for the past few years. As a mom it's hard to get photos of myself with the kids and thanks to her I have some of my favorite moments beautifully photographed and can cherish them forever. She is amazing with kids and does a wonderful job of getting photos of them even if they are being shy or crazy. She captures the beauty in our everyday life. I love getting my photos back and being shocked at how beautiful I look in them.

They blended seamlessly into our wedding party and made everyone feel comfortable, allowing every moment to unfold naturally. From the very beginning, Alison took the time to get to know us, understand our vision, and learn what was most important to us. She truly listened, and then executed everything more perfectly than we could have imagined. When we finally sat down to look through our wedding gallery, we were completely blown away. Every photo is absolutely beautiful. One of the things we appreciated most was how Alison and Amy captured not only all of the big moments, but also the countless little in-between moments that we either weren't together for or didn't even realize were happening. Looking through the gallery allowed us to experience our wedding day from a whole new perspective and brought us right back to every emotion we felt. The photos tell the story of our day so naturally and beautifully, and we'll treasure them for the rest of our lives. We are beyond grateful for the care, talent, and attention to detail that Alison and Amy put into capturing our wedding. Choosing them as our photographers was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn't recommend them more highly!

I ended up entering in a giveaway for engagement photos and we won! My fiancé and I were so excited since we didn't think we'd be able to get pictures done due to our short timeframe before our wedding. She was able to work with our tight schedule and we couldn't be happier with the whole experience! Alison was so personable, professional, and an absolute gem! She made us feel so comfortable, she was even able to get my fiancé to smile! Lol our photo session was so smooth and the location she picked was gorgeous, it was exactly the vibe we wanted. Also, she was able to edit our pictures so fast, which is a HUGE plus and we couldn't be happier! I literally cried when I seen them! She made my dreams come to life through her photo's! We were blown away and will definitely be booking with her again!

From the moment of booking through following up after we had purchased our final products, her communication was phenomenal and timely. Booking our session was very easy and user-friendly (all done online) and she made her instructions and what to expect very clear and straight forward. We knew exactly where to go, when to go, and she was ready for us when we arrived at the beautiful location she had picked out for these sessions. Our session went wonderfully and we were so in love with our photos. She also made several options available to expanding our package from our base package that we started with, which made picking out photos for different family members a very easy and streamlined process. We would recommend her in a heartbeat and will definitely book her again in the future.

She goes above and beyond as a wedding photographer; she went from taking photos and safety pinning my dress to giving me breathing exercises and coaching me through some of the biggest moments of our wedding day. She is hilarious, kind, and an all around wonderful human being. I absolutely love her and cannot recommend her any more highly.

She did a beautiful boudoir shoot for me (something I've never done before, but she made me feel so calm and beautiful and at ease!). After that we did our engagement shoot, which was so much fun! We brought our dog and it was a blast. We were all laughing the whole time and having so much fun. My husband (fiancée at the time) told me on the way home "wow, that was so much fun. What an awesome person she is!" The photos were stunning. Perfection. Our wedding was a few weeks ago and everything went perfect. We got all the shots we wanted/asked for and more. Erica is So creative and we got some really unique, fun shots too. Her assistant Danielle was amazing. She was such a good help and knew what Erica wanted, when she wanted it! She was on top of her game! When we got the photos back, I cried. I was speechless. Erica has captured our day so perfectly and the photos turned out better than we ever dreamed they would. We'll cherish them FOREVER. It might be a few years, but when the time comes, she'll do our maternity shoot, and then our newborn shoot. And after that, family photos. Etc etc. She'll be a part of our lives forever. Not only have we found the best photographer, we've found a friend! Erica, thank you! We adore you!

The idea of having photos or videos was an added bonus and when I found Paige, I was so happy to see that she could do it all! Paige made us feel so comfortable and prepared from the start, and I was really confident going into my birth that I would have the support that I needed. I don't think it would've been possible to have the amazing birth experience that I did without her. She helped coach me through contractions, manage pain, and helped my mom and husband better support me. It really made all the difference. We also ended up going with a photo and video package which was such a great decision. Birth is a crazy experience and it's so nice having it documented, especially all our special first moments together. I highly recommend hiring Paige!

She was with us the entire action-packed day starting with a walk in the redwoods, a picknick at a winery and even went out on a kayak with us as we free-dove the kelp and explored some other features of the coast. What a great sport! I doubt many photographers would do that, on top of having great skills. I can't thank her enough for helping us our special day, and for capturing it all so well. I look back on our photos nearly daily to remember it.

We appreciated her timely communication and after speaking with her, we could sense that she is warm and welcoming. As we were both feeling a bit camera-shy, this was a great comfort to us. After receiving our first photos, we were awestruck at the quality of her work. She was able to achieve such stunning use of light and capture the natural beauty of Mendocino. She gave helpful prompts to guide us during the photo session yet let us be ourselves at the same time. I can't stop looking at the photos she took. They are truly remarkable! If you are considering Cassandra for your photographer, I highly recommend her, both as a gifted photographer and a wonderful person to work with. Thank you for capturing our special day!

We were nervous about the shoot as parents to a 2 week old, but Lindsey was a pro and took care of us and our babe. The studio was warm, she had everything set up ahead of time, and she kept our new baby asleep for 2 hours like some kind of baby whisperer. It was so relaxing that dad fell asleep in the comfy chairs as Lindsey worked her magic! And the best part - the photos were beyond my wildest dreams. Cannot recommend Lindsey enough...she even made me look good 2 weeks post c section on zero sleep! Oh yes and she was Covid safe and even had snacks in her studio. She is officially our family photographer now.

He is extremely organized and met with us multiple times to ensure he knew everything needed to support us on our wedding day. When the day came around, his calm demeanor was very soothing and helped us stay in the moment. He went above and beyond in every possible way and even stayed past his contracted time because we were running behind schedule and he knew we'd want footage of our first dances, which was so kind of him to do. The turnaround for our highlight reel was only a few days and was absolutely mesmerizing. The way he captured the magic of the day was truly phenomenal and beyond anything we had hoped for, and we were so happy to have an artifact delivered so soon after the wedding. We even requested additional video packages because we were so impressed with his work and how he told the story of our day! This says a lot because originally we were on the fence about hiring a videographer at all. Above all, it was really important to us that our vendors be LGBTQ-friendly, especially our photographer and videographer who would be working with our wedding party, and Nile was so inclusive and great at working with every single one of our loved ones. If you are looking for a someone you can trust to capture your day beautifully, look no further.

Of all the portfolios we looked at (and we looked at MANY), Anne-Claire's was the only one that fit the style and attention to detail we were looking for, and working with her did not disappoint. All of our photos came out STUNNING, and she made absolute magic out of our couple portraits, which had to be taken entirely indoors due to the pouring rain the night of our wedding. She has such a good eye for light and framing, it was hard to narrow down favorites from either shoot because we loved SO MANY of our photos! We also really loved her style of shooting - she knew how to capture all the right moments at exactly the right times, but you otherwise didn't notice her unless necessary (like when shooting our family portraits). Anne-Claire was super responsive over email, very thorough in her shot planning before the wedding, and we'd jump at the chance to work with her again. Absolutely worth the investment for the beauty she captured in this huge milestone of our lives.

We felt so reassured after our initial talk with Anne-Claire when she explained her philosophy of capturing authentic emotions, human connection, and sense memories. These things really set her apart from your average wedding photographer; we know that years from now when we look through these photos, we won't just remember the events of the day, but also how we felt. Since we've started sharing our photos with people, we have been hearing nonstop praise about the quality of the photos. We highly recommend Anne-Claire - if you're looking for a photographer who will not just capture an event but also create incredible art, she's your person!
