The shoot went flawlessly--Melanie arrived on time, thoughtfully scouted multiple locations throughout the garden, and even managed to win over the teenagers.

Our photos are absolutely stunning and deeply meaningful to our family. Melanie captured both the natural beauty of the garden and the joy of our time together. We are so grateful for these memories and highly recommend her.

She was very accommodating, and very pleasant. I was late for our session and she couldn't be more understanding. She waited while I changed and hair and makeup done.

We are so happy that she was part of our lives to capture this chapter of life.

My husband and I booked Heather for what was supposed to be an August 2020 wedding. Well, yadda…read moreyadda yadda, things didn't quite go to plan. Heather was so beyond flexible and accommodating with us as our date changed and changed again, and hung on with us until 2022 when we finally were able to have our special day on April 9th. Just to reiterate, we booked her in SUMMER OF 2019. That is true dedication. I know many other "COVID brides" who struggled with coordinating date changes with vendors, so I am so thankful that Heather always made it work for us and kept a positive attitude about everything. As far as her actual work, Heather made us feel so comfortable both during our engagement shoot and the wedding (we are shy, nerdy people who are not comfortable in front of a camera). She is friendly, very easy to talk to, and guided us perfectly as we awkwardly walked while holding hands, stared into each others' eyes and attempted to hug like human beings. She kept family photos moving along, got all the shots we needed, and had a great vision for the whole day. The photos so exceeded my expectations, and I was over the moon when I saw the final album. Thank you Heather for sticking with us and documenting the most fun and special day.

I am in LOVE with my photos and our experience was amazing…read more This was our first professional photography experience as a family with a 2 year old. Not only were we rushing due to the weather, my son and husband started getting really cranky near the end! Heather was able to pull us all together and get amazing photos. Heather had great recommendations for location, she was extremely patient, gave great direction without being bossy and really got our style! I know there are so many options for photographers but I would look no further, Heather is the best, you will not be disappointed!

Let me get this out there first.... I would give Heather and Alamode photography 50 stars if I…read morecould! First, I live in Ohio and we were taking a cruise to Cabo from LA. I decided to propose to my girlfriend at the Griffith Observatory and since I knew no one in California I decided to hire a photographer to capture the moment. I conducted a blind google search and found several photographers, including Alamode Photography. I sent a request for information and received an email and phone call within a few hours. Heather was easy to talk too, excited to be apart of the proposal and trusting of her. I did talk to several other photographers but no one seemed as invested or honestly, made me feel like a friend was taking the pictures. We communicated over several weeks, exchanged ideas, and came up with a great plan. The Proposal went perfectly! Heather was early to the shoot, had locations planned for photos, and most importantly made us feel like a family member/friend was there to share the moment. Of all the photographers in LA, I couldn't have picked a better one!!! Heather and Alamode Photography is fantastic and couldn't have asked for anything more!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Heather of A La Mode Photography! I recently had a…read morematernity shoot with her on the beach in Malibu when I was 35 weeks pregnant -- and let me just say, it was pure magic from start to finish. I'm someone who's usually nervous in front of the camera and definitely not a natural when it comes to posing, but Heather made me feel so at ease. Her energy is warm, calming, and encouraging -- she truly has the best vibes. We had a phone call before the photo shoot where she talked me through her philosophy and we got to know each other. From the moment we ended that call, I knew I was in such good hands. Heather came prepared with the most beautiful gowns for me to wear, styled me with such care, and guided me into the most flattering and natural poses. And wow -- the photos she captured at sunset are beyond anything I could have dreamed. They're romantic, timeless, and full of emotion. She somehow managed to capture the absolute joy and magic that I feel about this pregnancy. I know I will cherish these photos forever. She's also incredibly easy to work with -- super responsive, organized, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. She reached out to me within 15 minutes of my inquiry, which was so nice, even though it was before 8 AM!! Heather is so passionate about her work that she finds joy in connecting with new clients and perfecting photos. In fact, she got me sneak peaks of our photoshoot the same night (even though we didn't get home until after 8:30 pm) and the turnaround for the rest of the photos was extremely quick which was so appreciated. I've already booked her for our newborn shoot, and I honestly feel like I've found not just a photographer, but a friend for life. If you're on the fence about doing a maternity shoot or you're nervous like I was, trust me: book Heather. She has a gift for making women feel beautiful and empowered, and her work speaks for itself. Truly one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy!

Steven was incredibly patient while I spoke with my doctor, showed genuine empathy and compassion, and somehow turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into one that was comfortable and even enjoyable. It was difficult to hide my sadness, yet Steven had a remarkable ability to make me smile naturally. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. Even though it was a professional headshot session, one candid photo of me with a genuine, natural laugh touched my heart. I loved it so much that I asked Steven to include it as well because I wanted to keep it as a cherished memory and share it with my family. What impressed me most wasn't only his talent behind the camera, but also his kindness afterward. Knowing what I was going through, he took the time to check on me, and that meant more than I can express. What could be better than working with someone who is exceptional both as a photographer and as a person? I will absolutely return to Steven for every special occasion. This photoshoot marked the beginning of my journey to preserve the important moments of my life with a truly gifted photographer. Thank you, Steven, for giving me beautiful memories during one of the most difficult days of my life.

If you want to re-live your big day over and over again years later, James is your guy! My wife and I had never done a professional photoshoot. Neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera. After interviewing 5 different photographers, we knew from our first conversation that James was the one. He is incredibly friendly, easy going, and knowledgeable. We agreed to do an engagement session, 1 location for 90mins to see if we'd be comfortable working with James. It couldn't have gone better. Initially, we were a bit stiff, but James gave us tips on how to act naturally, suggested poses and hand positions that made us feel and look relaxed. The time flew by and we actually ended up going to a second location with a wardrobe change. Overall, it was about 2 hours. James did not mind at all. In fact, he probably could've gone longer if the sun hadn't set on us! Our photos were edited and received in less than 2 weeks! James was kind enough to print a large poster and sign that shipped to our house in just a few days. He price matched any package/prints from other photographers. Having gone through our engagement session seamlessly, we hired James to shoot our wedding as well. He and an assistant were on site for 10 hours, tending to our every need and keeping us on our timeline. After our planned family/wedding party photos, we hardly even noticed them working as we proceeded with wedding events. After the wedding, we received many compliments on how great James was and several guests asked for his contact information. Within a couple of days, we received a preview of about 20 photos highlighting our big day. We were thrilled! Every important moment was captured so elegantly! The full magazine of photos was available for download in about 1 month. James then worked with us to print a high quality photo book for our coffee table. You can't go wrong with James--his high quality work and work ethic speak for themselves. There is no substitute for how easy and stress free he made us feel, so that we could truly enjoy ourselves knowing that he would capture every single moment candidly. Do not hesitate to hire James, it will be the best decision you will ever make.

Oxana is truly the sweetest, most talented photographer. She has such a warm and welcoming presence and makes the entire experience feel effortless. Taking family photos with three kids can be a challenge, but having the session in her beautiful studio was absolutely perfect. The controlled setting made everything so much easier and more comfortable, especially with little ones. No worrying about the weather, lighting, or distractions, just a relaxed environment where we could focus on making memories. From beginning to end, the entire experience was seamless. Oxana has an incredible way of making everyone feel comfortable while capturing the most beautiful, natural moments. She is patient, kind, and so wonderful with children. It means so much to have someone who photographed such a special chapter of our lives now capture our family as it has grown. I couldn't recommend Oxana enough, especially to families looking for a beautiful, stress-free photography experience. We will treasure these memories forever!

Tanya and her assistant, Sergio, made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, capturing not just the big moments but all the candid, emotional, and joyful ones in between. The photos are absolutely stunning, just timeless, natural, without feeling overdone. Every time we look through our gallery, we're transported right back to that day and literally start tearing up over every moment we remembered we felt that day. On the big day, she knew immediately how to capture us without question. I loved how much initiative and energy she brought to our time together. She gave so much encouragement and affirmation, I felt such positive and confident energy radiate between shoots! Beyond the images themselves, the experience was seamless. Tanya was punctual, organized, and blended in effortlessly throughout the day while still managing to capture everything. She's so easy to get along with that I find it more of a friendship vibe than a business transaction, but she is so professional along our funny texts. I also didn't have to worry about the schedule cause she was on it! We couldn't have asked for a better person to document such an important moment in our lives. We'll treasure these photos forever and recommend Tanya to anyone looking for a truly exceptional wedding photographer.
