The company is owned by Jen and Brian, and I cannot sing their praises enough! The task of searching for a photographer for my wedding day seemed incredibly daunting, and I wasn't sure where to begin. My husband actually recommended working with Forevermore, as he knew Brian from their time coaching volleyball together. When we first met them I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was instantly blow away by how organized they were and just the fun dynamic the two of them bring to the table. They had an exceptional portfolio of work to show us, and it was evident right from the start that they are highly detail oriented and their aesthetic really fit with what we were looking for. They really take the time to explain to you all of the different packages they offer, and the engagement photo session was included when we booked our wedding day photography package - which was a really nice bonus! They were willing to travel wherever we wanted for our engagement photos, and my husband and I decided on Point Reyes. They were flexible in working with our schedules to find a date that worked for us, and when we arrived, they were so patient with us, taking the time to explain how to pose and what angles and hand placements looked best, etc. It ended up being a freezing and wind blown day up in Point Reyes for our engagement session, but they remained pros the entire time, allowing us time to change outfits and scoping out the best shots before we had to brave the cold. Jen and Brian also did such a great job of finding and suggesting unique spots along the way that would be great photo moments. When we got our engagement photos back, I was in love with all of them! Which as someone who tends to be very critical of herself in photos, really means a lot! I couldn't wait to work with them again on our wedding day! Leading up to the wedding, Jen and Brian did a great job of communicating with us about what would be needed to ensure a successful wedding day. They worked with the timeline provided by our wedding day venue coordinator, and had us come up with a list of all the family portraits that were important for us to capture. Again, I cannot stress enough how well organized and attentive to detail they both are! On the wedding day, everything flowed so smoothly! They kept us on track and made sure we got all of the photos we wanted - from getting ready photos, first look photos, and family portraits, to a sunset photo shoot at the end of the night. They even helped us coordinate a fun reception photo bomb opportunity that our guests loved! By the end of our time working together, I felt like both Brian and Jen were not just vendors, but friends. They were so great working with us, our bridal party and our family, they gave excellent direction, and they work incredibly well together as a team. I am already looking for more excuses to work with them again in the near future! If you are looking for a phenomenal wedding day photography team, look no further and book with Forevermore, you will not be disappointed!!

I would 100% recommend them. Here's why:…read more Communication: Jen and Brian work so well as a team. They're both always so quick to respond. They're thorough, friendly, helpful, kind, funny, and efficient. They suggested zoom meetings to discuss what we were looking for and then came up with a plan. They met with us multiple times across the span of 4 months (how long it took us to plan our wedding) and made themselves available for additional meetings should we need it. They presented very clear written communication as well. Price: What really got me was the fact that I could give the password to our album to anyone and there were unlimited downloads. Plus, the engagement shoot and the wedding were bundled together. They really broke down what they're charging for in the invoice as well. Organization/tips: Jen is so well organized and Brian knows just how to support her to maximize that organization. Since I was planning this wedding with no wedding planner, their expertise, tips, and organization skills were very much appreciated. When I asked for advice outside of photography, they were very careful not to persuade my decision to what they thought I should do, but gave very insightful tips to make my own, informed decisions. They helped me create a very clear timeline (for photography) that I used for the entire wedding. We were going to have my mom be in charge of playing the music, and they very thoughtfully suggested that someone else be in charge of that as my mom would want to be paying close attention and may not be in the best headspace during the wedding to remember when to cue the music. They also made sure to tell our officiant (who was my cousin) to be sure to move away before he tells us to kiss. Since my wedding, I've noticed some officiants are not told this. Equipment: They come VERY well prepared. First of all, they were coming from Northern California. We live in Los Angeles/Orange County area. So they came down twice for our engagement shoot and for the wedding. During the engagement shoot, they had tons of great lighting equipment to do cool shots like the one under the bridge. They scoped out the sun patterns of both sites the day before to be sure they got the best lighting. They encouraged me to bring multiple outfits for the engagement shoot and brought a pop up tent so I could change in the middle of a park. My husband and I were very impressed. They also had a great speaker system that helped us play our music and do our speeches since we didn't have our own DJ. Pictures: As you can see in the many pictures I provided, they take TONS and that's not even a quarter of the pictures I have! My husband and I are both very camera shy. Neither of us have taken pictures with professional photographers before and even my husband said, they made us feel really at ease and he could not imagine getting photographed by anyone else. They got everything from details to people. They used their own creative ideas, and also asked for our input. They asked us to send a list of pictures of people we want in family shots and made sure to save every single one. The ONLY thing I have to say that's negative is there are a couple shots (I posted one below) where some of the people in the photos are off center or not close enough to the rest of the group and one shot (not posted) where my husband is doing something awkward in with his hands. Other than that, I really really love their editing style and how they got a good mixture of candids and posed pictures. Video: I really loved the video they made. I especially love how in our ceremony video it caught my cousin saying something funny so my husband wouldn't cry when I was walking down the aisle. The only thing I didn't like was we purposely did not say our vows in front of anyone and chose to only lay it over our wedding video. Although it was only a few seconds, I didn't like the addition of the clip of me reading my vows. One other thing, I love that they added clips of the speeches, but wished they got my cousin (maid of honor)'s speech in there as well. As far as the rest of the video, everyone that watched it said it was AMAZING! They got great camera angles of the ceremony, my husband appreciated that they took the videos quickly as we were doing the pictures, and they really captured as much as they could. The video was also super clear and I really love how our vows are forever on the video even though we chose not to say them during the ceremony. *The two minor things I had concerns about were not enough to reduce their rating. They made up for that in spades when it came to everything else.* Overall, Jen and Brian: - work very well as a team - take beautiful pictures and edit them well - give great tips without overstepping - are friendly, warm, and fun to work with - give you a lot for what you're paying for - are very communicative - go the extra mile - are open to and respond to feedback well

Nilou was hands down the most amazing member of our wedding team. From our first phone call with…read moreher, we knew immediately that we wanted her to be a part of our wedding ceremony. Her warmth and kindness are palpable even through a video call, and her commitment to honoring the beauty and history of the Persian wedding ceremony is apparent from the very first interaction. She seamlessly blended Farsi and English for our 50/50 American/Iranian crowd, and even those who have never seen a Persian ceremony before were able to understand and appreciate each tradition and symbol used throughout the ceremony. We have heard from all of our guests that it was the most beautiful ceremony they have ever seen, and this was entirely due to Nilou's professionalism, warm demeanor, and passion for her work. We were so thrilled with the way Nilou's ceremony blended together our two cultures and made for the perfect start to our families joining together. Thank you Nilou!!

Our first intro call was extremely informative. She laid out her process and her experiences with other couples and different types of weddings she's officiated in the past. It was clear she was an experienced officiant from the well-established process she had. Her communication was very effective. Her meetings were tailored toward new couples who have zero experience with weddings and she was always responsive to any questions we had through email or text. We received many compliments about the Ceremony that she officiated. Saundra had developed 90% of the script herself and personalized it based on our preferences. Her delivery and energy was less officiant-like and more casual/home-like which was what we were hoping for. I definitely would recommend Saundra as an officiant for any wedding.

Saundra was always available whenever we had questions, and her communication was excellent. We truly appreciated how responsive and reliable she was. It also meant so much to us that she took care of delivering our marriage license to the city hall clerks and even provided a tracking number for added security. The ceremony she delivered was absolutely beautiful. We loved her questionnaires and the way she used them to craft something so personal and meaningful. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple, which made the ceremony feel authentic and special. On top of that, she brought such a fun, warm energy while still respecting everything we wanted for our wedding. We highly recommend Saundra to anyone looking for an officiant who is caring, organized, and truly dedicated to making your day unforgettable. Saundra, thank you so much for everything you did for us. We are incredibly grateful for your support and for helping make our wedding day so special.

Andrew was very professional and presented a template of vows that we can work with. Being that we are both very busy and expecting a child soon, working on the details of ceremony and vows was a lower priority so it was great Andrew had something we can work with!! Andrew followed up closely with us up until the day of ceremony so we knew what to expect. No surprises for sure! On the day of ceremony, Andrew arrived at the meeting point (Palace of fine art) more than 1/2 hour early as not not be late. Of course, we ended up running behind schedule by 15 mins... but this goes to show you the professionalism of Andrew. After the ceremony, Andrew closely followed up with us about submitting paperwork to the city, and also about obtaining a valid copy of our marriage license. Overall Andrew was great from beginning to the end. He has made a stressful event not stressful. His professionalism is well appreciated and his performance in speech was great. We highly recommend Andrew for your next officiant needs!
