Savannah and Greg were absolutely phenomenal! Authentic Collective is definitely the best wedding photographers you can find - so look no further! If you love their portfolio as we did, you can book them with confidence and never look back! They have perfected the art of true professionalism while making the experience so fun and warm feeling. They really make any photoshoot feel like you are hanging out with two long-time friends, which makes the experience so much fun and allows you to fully relax. Never once did we feel like we were doing a stuffy photoshoot with two cameras present. Like many 2020 wedding couples, we had to reschedule our wedding, and one of the main criteria for us was keeping them (we even switched our venue). Their website is great for all forms and information needed during the process. They are quick to respond with any answers/updates/changes you might need. The shot list ahead of time is great to have done, as it covered everything we were looking for, and they are awesome at catching any moments that pop up organically during the day. They are so patient when it comes to posing, as we were new to the process. They are kind, patient, direct and clear in their instructions. It takes away the anxiety of doing posed photos, and the finished product is truly amazing. All of our photos look so natural and candid! One of the major things that drew us to A.C. was their editing, as it didn't look like every stock wedding photographer. The finished product did not disappoint! We absolutely love our photos, and you'll find your biggest issue is choosing what photos to get printed afterwards. Too many awesome choices! During the wedding and reception, they do a great job of blending in, but never miss a moment or great shot. It honestly felt like we had 2 good friends at our wedding who happened to be capturing our memories with cameras. read more

Do not hire these photographers. If your wedding has to be rescheduled for personal reasons or any reason really they will keep your 2,000k+ deposit and refuse to change to a new date unless you pay another 2k+ deposit. I notified Savannah and Greg a little over one month after hiring them that my wedding date had to be changed because of a major life change. They are the ONLY vendor that refused to reschedule and/or refund my deposit. The best they could offer my fiancé and I was an engagement photo shoot in which we drive 7 hours and pay for hotels to meet them in a National Park that they already planned to be at. Zero flexibility or concern. We are out thousands of dollars. read more

We found Authentic Collective on Instagram and absolutely loved their portfolio of outdoor photos in beautiful nature settings. We booked them for an engagement photoshoot and loved their hands-on approach to getting to know us via questionnaires and email exchanges prior to the shoot. We scheduled the shoot to take place at Matador Beach in Malibu, but we requested them to scope out other nearby locations for good photo opportunities. Authentic Collective arrived to the area a few days early and did their homework on finding the best spots for our photoshoot, both on the beach and at a nearby hiking trail! This made the photoshoot an easy & fun experience for us, because Authentic Collective was very clear, focused and direct with their vision on the kind of photos that aligned with our personalities & requests. During the actual shoot, Authentic Collective were super nice, patient and very hands-on with their direction for the poses, movement and vision to capture on camera. This made the whole experience really fun, because my fiancee and I could just relax, follow their guidance and have fun with it. We would definitely hire Authentic Collective to be our wedding photographers in 2022! read more

Authentic Collective was the second vendor we booked for our elopement (our original venue was the first). We found Authentic Collective by using the hashtag #AdventureWeddingPhotographers because we wanted to get married in a way that represented us: fun, adventurous, and outgoing with a drop dead gorgeous view that spoke to the soul. After stalking them via iG and learning that they would be in California for our date, we inquired more about their services. Choosing them was the easiest part of planning one of the biggest days of our lives! The biggest help in planning was 100%, the timeline. Due to COVID, we had to change our plans over five times and when we finally landed on our ideal venue (3 weeks before our date), we could only be there for 5 hours (making it a microwedding) so it was definitely crunch time. Their guide let us see how we could maximize our time for everything we wanted to do. Savannah & Greg surprised us when they arrived early to scout out the area to get our detailed shoots done. As we got ready, we hardly noticed them taking photos but they were there for all of our special little moments. Sav & Greg knew how dishearten we were that our plans changed from Big Sur to Malibu that they found the most amazing spot for us to have our first look! We told them that we wanted to do it on the beach, but who knew there was a view that looked as if we were in Big Sur for us to have our special moment (truly jaw dropping). Also, Greg was extremely helpful in assisting me in getting down to the the area to do my first look. They were even kind enough to give us a ride to our venue after we couldn't get in touch with anyone from our wedding party. Again, planning a wedding is stressful and while I was stressed, the favorite part of my wedding day (other than marrying my best friend) was taking photos because that was the time we got to spend together and that's basically the most important part of the day, to celebrate our new union and that's exactly what we were able to do while taking photos. Once we got to our venue site, we were able to take additional photos before guests arrived. Savannah and Greg were so great in showing us how to pose while being ourselves. They coached us through the poses they were looking for from hand/arm placement, how to hold the flowers, looking at each other to getting genuine laughs. Let's talk about the shot list! It's so important to do the shot list because Savannah and Greg follow it to the T! AC provided us with a shot list to make sure we took photos with people we wanted and that's super important because the day-of everything is so crazy and goes by so fast that I would've forgot. Savannah and Greg were so amazing at calling people in and out of the shots that we were able to get everything we wanted. Not to mention, it didn't take long, Greg was able to get people in and out (in a polite way), they both helped pose the groups and Savannah took about one of two shots... done! With our wedding party... omg they told us to walk slowly to them and we thought "umm okay" and we were told to look at each other and laugh and those shots came out so amazing, it looked like it was straight out of a wedding magazine! While we didn't have enough time to go around the ranch like we originally hoped, Savannah and Greg were able to get security to drive us to the giraffe and we were able to get our newlywed shots there along with an amazing Golden Hour in the grapevines. We weren't sure if we wanted footage from our toasts until after it happened and they had that footage covered even though we hadn't planned for it, they were steps ahead of us and ready to deliver. Overall, I recommend Sav & Greg for everything... I got the Diamond Collection plus extra, we needed the extra! Along with video coverage (highlight, ceremony, and toast). This is definitely a collective to have but also a heirloom for generations to come! Authentic Collective taps into your heart and captures it the way you always envisioned. They're not only a blast and a joy to spend the day with, but they're extremely professional! Major props to the dream team, Savannah & Greg! You captured moments we will treasure forever and you're now a part of our family. Thank you for making it an Authentic Collective read more

Savannah and Greg did an amazing job photographing our wedding and we can't recommend them enough. It's hard to say what the highlight was of working with Savannah and Greg as the experience was all around fantastic. From start to finish Savannah and Greg were extremely responsive, professional and easy to work with. They made the experience as smooth as possible and the results were incredible, our wedding photos were more than we could have asked for. Book Authentic Collective for your wedding/engagement photos, you won't regret it!! Thanks Savannah and Greg!! read more

Savannah and Greg were so great! First of all, they are a great team and working with them was seamless (and painless!). Recommended by a friend (and another client of AC), Savannah did a great job communicating throughout the booking/editing process. Our wedding day had an unexpected rain storm, but they were able to adapt quickly to the circumstances and our photos turned out a m a z i n g!! Love their style and professionalism. Turnaround time was also a nice surprise with multiple touch points/sneak peeks which made the wait for the full gallery bearable! :) Hire this team if you can!! So worth it! read more

We absolutely loved having Savannah and Greg photograph our wedding. They were so easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! We had them booked for two years prior to our wedding and they checked in with us regularly to see if we had any questions about the wedding planning process in general. They were extremely organized and made our many formal pictures a breeze, but also took their time in the moment to make sure they got the perfect shots for our first look and newlywed photos. All of my family and friends say that our wedding pictures are the most beautiful wedding pictures they have ever seen, and it's all because of Savannah and Greg. Thank you for pictures we will cherish forever, we can't wait to get them on the walls! read more

Savannah and Greg are the most kind hearted people you will ever meet! Me and my Fiancé don't really like to get our pictures taken - our engagement shoot was actually the 2nd time in 8 years that we've gotten our pictures done and let me tell you, Savannah & Greg made us feel so comfortable! Even though we felt awkward, they would reassure us and tell us that we were crushing it - which made us feel good! Also, her turn around time is phenomenal! We got our pictures back that same day and got our final pictures 1 day after we submitted them. Talk about fast! & they turned out amazing!! I HIGHLY recommend them as your photographers read more

Planning a wedding is stressful but savannah and greg made it so much easier! We were referred to them by a friend and are so extremely thankful to of found them. They made us so comfortable and were so creative with their shots. I would refer them to anyone in a heartbeat! When me and my husband get married we will have been together for nearly a decade and I feel trully blessed to have the most important day of my life captured by them!! read more

Savannah and Greg are a power couple for sure! I am a full time photo retoucher so I was very picky in making a selection of who will be our wedding photographer and videographer. I found Authentic Collective and absolutely fell in love with them -- they are so unique in their style and making sure it fits the style of the couple. They also made the shoot so fun!! Highly recommend them to anyone wanting quality work. read more

I'm so happy we had Savannah and Greg do the photography and videography for our wedding! I believe their work speaks for itself, but I wanted to add that they were also a joy to work with. They are both amazing people, well organized, great communicators, and they make you feel so special and comfortable in front of the camera. From the detailed timeline, vendor recommendations, and overall wedding day knowledge sharing that they provided - you are getting much more than a photo/video team. You also get peace of mind knowing that your wedding day will be memorialized in a full gallery of gorgeous photos. Their expertise is perfectly showcased in their work: from the shot locations and photo compositions, to the amazing lighting and final editing, we were THRILLED with our wedding gallery and videos. Thank you, Sav and Greg for giving us such beautiful ways to treasure these memories of our wedding. read more

John and I had an amazing session with Savannah. She is a very dedicated and friendly photographer. She was very professional and talented. She would like to get to know you a lil more to get into your story background. And use her photograph skills to capture the beautiful love moments. She would made you feel comfortable during the shoot, and the photos came out unexpectedly beautiful! It's okay if this is your first time because she will tell you what to do to make you look good / natural in the pictures. Highly recommend her for any couple / engagement / proposal / wedding or any event's photography session. read more

I can't say enough about how thankful we were to have Savannah and Greg a part of our wedding, and more specifically responsible for one of the most personally important aspects of the day! We immediately noticed the quality and novelty of their work prior to hiring them in early pandemic days, and they were so patient and understanding when we were forced to postpone. Our engagement session not only gave us photos for which we'll be thankful for a lifetime, but their approach and personalities made us feel so comfortable and confident, laughing, joking, and enjoying, that the session felt like a moment that renewed the excitement that we had lost in postponing! When it came to the big day, Savannah, Greg, and their assistant brought such warmth, intention, and laughter to every moment - they truly added comfort to the whole day. Our family and friends commented on how genuine they were and how they could tell they were capturing every sentimental moment - and our pictures and video showed the same. They were candid, gorgeous, comprehensive and captured our hearts in ways we didn't know was possible. Hiring Authentic Collective may have been one of the single best decisions we made for our wedding. They listen, they respond, they care, and they are so talented at what they do. Now, I just wish we had another reason to hire them! read more

After doing a bit of research on a photographer for our engagement shoot I stumbled upon Savannah's profile and absolutely fell in love with her work. Savannah was very easy to get in contact with and replied within a day after submitting an email. The day of our shoot she was punctual and super friendly! We brought our 11 month old corgi along and she loved it, we got our pictures back edited very quickly and my husband and I are super happy with them! read more

Savannah is absolutely the best photographer out there for any occasion. She turned what could be an awkward time into a photography session that was worth having even without the photos! Savannah is such a nice genuine person who truly cares about the photos she is taking. Her photos are absolutely magnificent, we would recommend​ her to anyone! read more

Savannah and Greg are amazing! From the planning process to the wedding day, they made everything easy and fun. We were nervous about being awkward in the photos but they made it so easy and natural. Plus, they don't suggest any overly cheesy poses which we knew we wanted to avoid. Our photos turned out beautifully! They were also great about keeping the family formal photos moving and made that process as seamless as possible. We would highly recommend Authentic Collective! read more

Savannah is an incredibly talented photographer, and so much fun to work with. I felt totally comfortable during the entire shoot--it was like an adventure. She has a really cool style and a good eye for unique photos. I also got them back so quickly, I couldn't believe it. 10/10 would recommend read more

FIVE STARS ARE NOT ENOUGH! If you are looking for photographers for your engagement photos or wedding photos (or both!), look no further. Savannah and Greg are professional, incredibly kind, understanding, so fun to be around, and made my fiancé and I feel at ease while getting our pictures done. We were nervous going into it, having never gotten professional photos taken, but Savannah and Greg made the experience so comfortable and we had so much fun. They were also so understanding when we had to reschedule our session with them twice due to other circumstances. The pictures truly exceeded our expectations and I am so relieved we have them as our wedding photographers as well. Working with them is the best choice I've made so far in this wedding planning process. We couldn't be happier and couldn't recommend them more! read more

You guys, I cant say enough great things about Savanah and Greg from Authentic Collective!! My husband and I were planning to elope to Georgia, and as I was searching for a photographer I came across their instagram page and was completely blown away. They. Are. Phenomenal!!! I knew I had to have them for my wedding. A lot changed prior to the wedding, dates, location, times, EVERYTHING, and Savannah and Greg totally rolled with punches. I felt so bad about all the changes, but they were so understanding and flexible about everything. We ended up opting out of an elopement, and decided to go ahead and have a wedding and FLEW THEM TO US because I insisted on them being our photographers. We did a family photoshoot with them the day before the wedding, and then had them shoot our wedding. All of our photos were breath taking. I mean, they are such talented photographers!! My husband nor I had ever taken professional photos and they made us feel so comfortable and told us exactly was to do. I was nervous but they made it so easy!!! They're also the cutest stinking couple and so much fun to work with!! Like, you'll end up saying goodbye and wanting to be BFF's with them afterwards hahah We also got our photos back quickly. I loved that they sent sneak peeks of the shoots so we had some pictures to share with family and social media. It also left me feeling excited to see what was coming next. I cant say enough great things about them. Just absolutely loved them!!! read more

Savannah is a very talented photographer. Very friendly and professional. I arrived early at the venue and she was already there ready to begin the session. Very responsive and fast with the final product delivery. I highly recommend her! read more

If you need a wedding photographer LOOK NO FURTHER! I repeat LOOK NO FURTHER! You found them! I reached out to Savannah and Greg earlier this year after seeing their amazing photos that they posted on Instagram and fell in love with the warmness and creativity of all their photos. The other thing that caught my eye after reviewing blogs of photos that they'd done was that the couples looked to have throughly enjoyed themselves during their session with them and didn't look staged! We met Savannah and Greg for the first time during our engagement shoot a couple of weeks ago and I'm not going to lie, I was nervous! But as soon as we met them, my nervousness went away! They were just as warm, inviting and energetic like they were on the phone. They gave us different scenarios to portray to get those perfect shots to capture all the fun and love that is us! After the session, Savannah communicated the next steps to us and we received our edited shots earlier than expected. Their communication, organization and photography skills are unmatched. Do yourself a favor and set up a consult and see for yourself! read more

My husband and I are delighted by the photos that Savannah captured for our wedding. She knows what she's doing and is great at it! She is quick at responding to you, whether it be on Yelp or even via text message. Her organization, timeliness, style, and demeanor was just what we needed, and the results were beautiful. The turnaround was quick (less than 2 weeks) and the online gallery is great for sharing with your wedding guests. She even includes a framed photo that we will cherish forever. Look no further, folks! read more

First off, you get two awesome photographers when you book Authentic Collective. Savannah and Greg were AMAZING from start to finish. We did our engagement photos with them which is when we first started getting to know them. They are fun and easy to work with. They really help make you feel at ease in front of the camera. For the wedding, they had some resources for us to review and helped us put together our timeline and shot list so we could get all the shots we wanted, but not spend too much time trying to get everyone into the photos. They went above and beyond when helping us plan for the big day, even meeting with us at our venue a few weeks prior to go over the timeline and any specific questions we had. The photos came out STUNNING! I knew they would given the engagement session and all the positive comments we got on those photos, but they really exceeded my expectations. They captured so many beautiful moments and my wife and I were able to re-live those moments when we went through our gallery. I would highly recommend Authentic Collective as you are not just getting a good photographer. You are getting a great team that is willing to go above and beyond to make sure you feel special, that your day is exactly what you envision, and that your photos reflect the feelings and emotions you experienced on one of the biggest days of your life. read more

Me and my fiancé LOVED working with Savannah for our engagement session, and we're looking forward to having Savannah as our photographer for the wedding as well! I've gone through MANY photographers online and looked through their portfolios and I was specifically looking for someone who can capture candid moments, someone who can express what me and my fiancé have for each other through pictures. We both were very nervous in the beginning because we've never done one like this before! But Savannah is a true professional. She guided us through each step, made us feel super comfortable! Not only she's talented, Savannah is also a very diligent and warm person. She even sent us a few pictures beautifully edited on that very same day so we could let our loved ones know that we're engaged, how awesome is she?? We've received endless compliments on how amazing the pictures are. We highly recommend Savannah as your photographer for ANY special occasion! read more
