Jannet was our PERFECT wedding photographer, and we couldn't be happier with our choice!! She has a…read moremagic touch, seriously. Our photo gallery captures all the joy, emotion, uniqueness, and specialness of our day in a way that's difficult to describe. Beyond making things look beautiful, which I feel like many photographers do, she's also an expert at capturing all the small real moments and raw feelings into photos. Now, five months later, scrolling through our gallery reminds us of a ton of little details about the day that we otherwise might have forgotten. Like the hilarity of the groomsmen helping my groom tie his shoes, how exactly our first look felt, a ridiculous yelling-moment I had with my brother during wedding party photos, the dorky uniqueness of every friendship pairing within our wedding party, me crying-down-the-aisle, ALL the emotions during the ceremony, the joy and relief and overwhelm of emotions post-ceremony... the list goes on and on! You can honestly HEAR a lot of these photos. I think that's what makes Jannet so incredibly special - documenting what happened (in a beautiful way!!) without making everything feel fabricated and posed in the moment... This is exactly what we were hoping for when we set out looking for a photographer, and man oh man did Jannet deliver! Logistically, Jannet was communicative, punctual, and overall amazing! Jannet arrived perfectly on time on the day of, and got along really well with our videographers. It was super easy to schedule meetings and logistics with her prior to the wedding, and she was always responsive and easy to talk to. She was also super accommodating and kind when it came to COVID rescheduling - we were able to move our booking dates (both the engagement shoot and the wedding itself) with her with no issues or fees. She was a happy and calming presence on the day of, and really helped move everyone along and direct what would happen next, especially while we were at our getting-ready location during the morning and early afternoon (before we met up with our day-of coordinator at the venue). Jannet made sure we stayed perfectly on schedule while making the whole day still feel really relaxed and not rushed. After we finished all the photo sessions and the wedding itself started in earnest, we hilariously had no idea where she was, she blended in so well. We didn't have to feel self-consciously on-camera all the time, and still got incredible angles and moments throughout the ceremony and reception! Thanks to her (and her awesome second shooter), we were able to stay present and really enjoy every moment! We also asked if Jannet herself had anything specific that she wanted to do, creatively - she mentioned wanting to do more film photos - and OH. MY. GOODNESS. These film photos are to DIE for. They're just incredible, and they feel so so special. There's particularly one of us coming back down the aisle after the ceremony and you can really FEEL this photo. Knowing that she had literally one chance at every moment, and yet she still managed to capture the height of every emotion... holy cow, Jannet is wildly talented. Highly highly recommend having her take some photos on film for your day!! Finally, I wanna mention that Jannet was SO kind and enthusiastic about my oddly-specific requests - I am an artist, so over the course of several months, I worked really hard on a whole bunch of unique artsy things for the reception. I described everything I made to her and said I wanted way more reception detail photos than the typical couple. She TOTALLY delivered. She made all my work look incredible and included photos of every big and little thing I made, which I am SO grateful for. My favorite thing is that she also got photos of people looking at and interacting with my work!! Aahh!! We're having a ton of trouble picking which photos to print for our walls and our wedding album, because ALL of these photos are just so good in their own ways. All in all, I highly, HIGHLY recommend Jannet to capture all the feels on your wedding day or any other occasion!!

Nicole was such a joy to work with and the pictures from my engagement session and wedding were phenomenal.

Our portrait sessions resulted in absolutely stunning, artistic images. We love her editorial, candid style that allowed each photo to be an authentic and intimate reflection of who my husband and I truly are together. Her rare ability to capture the beauty of those 'moments between moments' in her photos has literally brought us to tears. Our wedding reception photos showcased how much fun we had that night. Nicole captured the whole event flawlessly. From hair and make up to the all the decor details to our champagne toast, she didn't miss a moment. The images from all our sessions are keepsakes that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Nicole is professional, fun, kind and creative, and has a way of putting her clients at ease in front of the camera. We felt completely comfortable during all sessions and were able to relax and enjoy the entire experience. My husband and I completely trust Nicole with the most important events and milestones of our lives and will without question continue to hire her to document our journey as our family grows. We can't thank her enough and highly recommend her!

She was always quick to respond when we had questions, was helpful when we needed guidance in our decisions, and became a welcome addition to our wedding party team! We are only a week out and have only received our sneak peek, but these pictures alone show we 100% made the right choice in choosing Zara. Her ability to capture light and natural emotion is unlike any photographer I've seen at other weddings I've been a part of. I can't say enough about her service, artistic eye, and all-around friendly nature. We can't wait to use her for future photo needs and would recommend her again and again to anyone who is interested. Start your wedding off right and choose Zara, she will be the best decision you ever make!

She knows how to make the bride feel comfortable and relaxed and how to have fun with it! She even sent me sneak peaks of a few photos the day after because she knew that I wanted to post them. I received over 200 photos and they are AMAZING! There are soooo many cool and artsy shots and she did a fantastic job capturing the sunset during our ceremony!

I have a close friend who is a photographer, so naturally, when I got engaged, I asked her to take…read moreour engagement and wedding photos. Unfortunately, she couldn't take our wedding photos. So after booking the wedding photos with her, I went on the search for a wedding photographer. She sent me a LONG list of suggested photographers, and I was on a quest to find the perfect photographer for our big day. As someone who works at weddings as a coordinator, I always tell everyone who will listen that you can cut corners and and prices on most things, but you should DEFINITELY bite the bullet and get yourself a coordinator and a great photographer. The first because it'll make your life SO MUCH EASIER on the day of your wedding (and no, your cousin or uncle should NOT be your go-to person on your big day); the latter because at the end of the day, the only thing that lasts are your photos. Honestly, 10, 20, 30 years after the big day has come and gone, your memories are not going to good enough to remember the little details. Looking at Paulina's website, I immediately fell in love with her detail photos. To be able to capture something as simple as a ring or even a pair of shoes in the colors and angles she did... I knew that I wanted to meet her. And when we met, I knew I wanted her to be there on our big day. The hubs and I are both rather awkward in front of the camera (Where DO you place your arm? How do you avoid the squishy mouth look when you're holding a kiss? Sigh...). Paulina was so warm and genuinely loved her job. She was so excited to talk about her past weddings, and her eyes lit up when she spoke. I really appreciated that she was thorough in her preparations leading up to the wedding, and on the day of, she was so loving, encouraging, and so happy to just BE there... It was as if she wasn't even working. She captured all the little moments of the day and even the small details that I had prepared for the wedding but forgot about in the busy-ness of the day. When we got all our photos, the hubs and I were both so impressed by her attention to detail and how all the pictures looked so beautiful overall. I HIGHLY recommend Paulina and her amazing eye for beauty in everything~!

This review is for our wedding on 1/6/18 at Malibu West Beach Club…read more How do I start this... we LOVE Natalie!! Like, she's just so positive, patient, and kind. She was always present and she didn't just tail us, the bride and groom--she was able to capture the little moments in our guests that, in all the hustle and bustle, we had missed. We never worried she'd miss anything. To that point, she was on time, she was professional, and she did it all with a smile. Talking with family the next day, they remarked at how pleasant and affable she was. But enough about how amazing of a person she is--you're also looking to get a sense of her photos. You can see them attached to this review. Simply put, Natalie is brilliant at what she does. In short, she's a great blend of what a photographer should be: she's easy to work with, and she's got an eye. And lastly, I have no idea how she did it, but she gave us a TON of photos from the day (yes, all edited and fine-tuned). That was a monumental task in itself, and *especially* for the amount of photos she sent back, we didn't have to wait very long. So, dear Yelper, don't delay in hiring her--she's getting booked up quick, I'm sure!

I am now looking back on my photos and I am so glad I had Natalie do my wedding photos. Not only were they professional, they were great with price.

She will tell you what to do and you can expect great work. This review is long over due. We got married in 2017. Sorry I didn't write this review before! Thanks for the excellent work!

Jess came highly regarded by my sister, so we were pleasantly surprised that she was available for an engagement shoot in San Diego. Jess was professional, thorough, and fun! She spent so much care on the little details, and was able to take a quick look around our locations and the perfect spots to shoot in. She managed our awkwardness so well, and made us feel like we were just casually taking photos with a close friend. Prior to the shoot, she even sent outfit recommendations, and got to know us over a video call so that she could get some ideas about what types of scenes we could capture! Our favorite part of the experience was seeing the previews for the first time. Jess truly went above and beyond for us, turning around a quick set of photos so that we could put them on the wedding invitations on a short timeline, but without sacrificing an ounce of quality. She made all of the pictures look effortlessly beautiful, elegant, and full of love. We loved our experience with Jess so much, that we asked her team to shoot our wedding photos as well. Unfortunately, she wasn't available personally, but her team did an amazing job, and Jess even personally edited the photos in her style afterwards for us. If you're looking for a photographer with enormous talent, a detailed eye, and who will treat you like a member of her family, Jess is the best in the business. We feel so tremendously grateful to have worked with her, and would recommend her to anyone for any occasion! Thank you so much Jess!

When we were looking for a photographer for our wedding & engagement, Jess' work immediately stood out. She had a fun, vibrant style that we immediately loved. But more than that, we noticed she captured special & candid moments between her couples. And that's exactly what were hoping for when we chose her. And boy, did she do an amazing job. We are two awkward, nerdy people. We were very nervous about taking photos, but Jess made us feel at complete ease. At both the engagement shoot and wedding, Jess captured moments that felt unique to US. And each photo was beautifully composed and gorgeous. The turnaround time was impressive -- she sent a generous selection of sneak peeks the day after each event, and we received the final sets of photos much earlier than expected. On top of that, Jess and her team were professional and lovely at the wedding itself. Many guests commented on how much they liked the photographers. Also, Jess photographed our wedding while almost 9 months pregnant! We were very impressed and so touched that she was able to squeeze us in. We are so so so happy with Jess & Cheers Babe's work and would recommend them to absolutely anyone.

My husband and I were getting married in October and knew we needed to find a photographer. Since…read morewe had a tight budget, we looked for quality at a decent price. It's shocking how expensive photographers can be! We found Magic Wedding Photography at the Bridal Expo and after some research (thanks yelp!) we contacted Elena. After a brief meeting, we initially selected the Budget package for 6 hours. She also threw in our engagement photo session for free. As our wedding day approached, we realized we wanted to do First Looks and after we talked with Elena about it, she advised that we hire a second photographer for at least an hour to make sure we get both reactions simultaneously. Of course, once we agreed to that, we wondered why not have them there for another hour to have another professional capture our ceremony? And then once that was decided, Elena cut us a deal to just have the second photographer there for the whole event. On the day of the wedding, Elena and her 2nd (Paola) arrive perfectly on time. They integrated themselves perfectly, capturing moments on each of our sides as we prepared. As the day/night went on they were wonderful. We were incredibly happy to have Paola with us as she provided helpful staging tips and poses to get some amazing photos. It took about two weeks to get the links for the proofs (not full quality but still good enough for creating Thank You cards and sharing a few on Facebook) and another week or so before we got the full resolution photos via USB by mail. We have so many favorites and are finding it incredibly hard to choose the 50 we need for the album we get with our package. Thankfully we have a full year to do so! We are so happy we found Elena and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great photographer at a reasonable price.

I would only recommend to keep a clear line of communication so both parties understand expectations and to make sure you have your dates in order.

Her rate was for 4 hours, which was more than enough time to get some sweet shots of us. We rented out the Japanese Garden in Encino and you could see Alli's eyes light up. She knows how to get you to stand and where to get the "right" photo. She's extremely sweet and easy to work with in person. Her rate is very good compared to what a lot other photographers in the area as well. Since she has a full time job, she was only available on weekends... which is GREAT! All the other photographers we talked to were only available on weekdays and it was a pain trying to schedule anything. With that said, we love our photos. She turned them around in just a few weeks (!!!) which is unheard of for these type of photography sessions. My friends were quite jealous of the fast turnaround. :) Overall, HIGHLY recommend her.
