Also, I know she must post-edit her images, but it's nothing too over-the top, everything looks very natural. What you don't see in her portfolio is how it is to work with her.

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.

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!

Her communication throughout the whole process was wonderful. It was my parent's 49th wedding anniversary while we were there. I wanted all of us to have some beautiful images at our favorite place with our favorite people. Joyce really nailed it. The weather was awful!! Foggy, cold, and windy, but she was very accommodating and able to pick the best time to create the images I wanted. We were able to go to different locations and she was great about knowing which areas would make amazing pictures. They were spots I would never have thought to choose, but they are some of my favorites! We got all the posed photos that I requested and then some. We also got many beautiful pictures that were more natural and showed some of our silliness. It was really helpful when she would instruct us on how we were standing, how to position our arms, have us turn our faces so the light was correct, etc.. All and all it was a fantastic experience creating an ocean family photo session. All of us got everything we wanted. Some of the candid type photos resonate with certain people. The pictures of my dad kissing my mom on the cheek like he always does are just classic. I got the posed picture of all 10 of us on the beach that was my inspiration for the whole thing. We got a picture for one of the little girls with her parents that are not a couple. I think having that will be priceless to her.

When we discovered Mendocino, we knew its where we wanted to have our elopement. The magic of the…read moreredwoods, the oceanside cliffs, and the beaches all lured us in, but we had no idea where to start. As we did research, we found Joyce. She was easy to communicate with, highly knowledgable of the area and had all the recommendations we could ask for to help us in choosing all sorts of things: officiants, florists, dining, things to do, etc. She even chatted with me when I was choosing my gown about how it may look in the photos depending on which one I went with. Ultimately, we shared photos of what we loved in Joyce's work, and handed her full creative freedom to lead us where felt right. She was careful to have us as we naturally were, she didn't pose us one time (which made me nervous during the shoot!). In the end, we couldn't be more grateful for the vision she brought to life. Our wedding day was captured so gorgeously; every shot is a love letter to our day -- luminous, timeless, majestic. Here are some quotes from friends who reached out after seeing the photos: "Congratulations! Wow, these pictures are amazing! You look like an ethereal princess" "The photos look like you're in a fairytale!" "Absolutely stunning." Thank you Joyce, for your dedication to your craft.

Our photographs turned out beautifully--very natural and not too edited. Exactly what we wanted! One moment I'll never forget during our special day is when Emily surprised us with an impromptu church exit/flower petal toss with our guests. I had mentioned the idea to her at the wedding rehearsal the night before but explained it wasn't in our floral budget. She went home that night and handpicked flowers so that we could have that experience. Truly one of our favorite moments of the day and all thanks to Emily! On top of this, a whole year later, she is answering emails and photograph edit requests. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat!

She has taken my family photos since I was a little girl. We've always had comfortable and fun sessions -- she makes everyone feel relaxed, including my daughter (which is no small feat ). The photos turn out stunning every time -- natural, beautifully edited, and full of emotion. She has such an eye for capturing little moments you didn't even realize were happening. You can tell she really loves what she does, and it shows in every detail. Whether you're looking for family photos, a special event, or just want to treat yourself to a beautiful shoot, she's your girl. Book her. You won't regret it!!

I cannot imagine a better photographer than Holly. She is beyond talented. She was so incredibly…read morefun to work with. I never once felt the camera was invasive. She made everyone of my guests feel comfortable and happy, and that comes through in the photos. She was able to get the most amazing shots. Our sunset photoshoot with her was something we dreaded, because we didn't want to miss a single moment with our guests. But with her guidance, it became this truly romantic moment I shared with my husband. It was a such moment of stillness and connection that it became our favorite part of the wedding. We are so thankful to her for building that experience for us. She is a true professional.

Holly has been amazing to work with. She shot our engagement photos up at Kirkwood Mountain and spent the day chasing us around the snow. Her communication style and vision really made us feel comfortable as we like the more candid shots. We loved our engagement photos so much, and Holly as a person, that we brought her to Thailand with us for our wedding. We got married on the island of Koh Samui with 60 of our closest friends and family, and Holly fit right in. She was charming, professional, social, and in the mix getting ever photo we asked over the 5 days. Holly captures all the moments you want to remember. I can't stop looking at our photos. She has a ton of energy, is adventurous with her camera, and isn't afraid to direct you or your people (but not in harsh way) - she gets the best out of you by making sure you are just being you. After working with Holly she's become my go to photographer (and a friend) who I recommend to all my friends for local and destination weddings, photos shoots, and adventure travel!

She is prompt, friendly, super good at her job, organized, effective, and responsive! We had a couple wrinkles in our wedding back in August of 2021 where we were unable to get ready onsite due to Covid-19 restrictions & being behind schedule due to a hairdresser malfunction, but Amy was gracious enough to add in another location for getting ready photos & then drive to our venue to capture the rest of our day. Not only are our photos STUNNING, but I felt so relaxed and confident in Amy and her second shooter to capture all of the moments and things I wanted. She sent over a list asking me for any MUST have shots and groups of family members a week or two before the wedding that we wanted to ensure we got pictures with and went down the list during cocktail hour to check them off one by one. She also got wonderful photos of our guests enjoying themselves on the dance floor which is exactly what I wanted. I can't recommend Amy enough!

Anyone who knows me knows that I hate the camera and pictures but she just has a way of making you feel at ease. She is also amazing with children and was able to get our young daughter who is extremely shy with new people to cooperate with professional pictures. And now that we have 2 girls and have done pictures a few times both girls love her and look forward to pictures with her! She works really hard to make sure that the pictures she has taken are up to our standards and is very accommodating in regards to the editing and viewing of the proofs portion of the sessions as well. It is obvious that she truly cares about the work she is doing and the overall satisfaction her clients have with her work and for this reason, and all of the others, we will continue to use Amy for pictures for our family! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!!

I…read morewas so drawn to the beautiful quality of all the images and almost poetic nature of how she takes her pictures. As an event planner, I look for 3 things in a photographer-great images (a given), professionalism but also creative collaboration. She not only gives me all 3 elements but goes beyond everything I imagine, always. I have now hired her to do a wedding, a birthday party, and 2 editorial photoshoots and every single time she knocks it out of the park. Her attention to detail and knowledge of what works and doesn't makes my job so much easier. It's such a relief when you find a photographer you trust because your photos mean so much in terms of how your event is captured. I love that she is super creative and always adds so much value to our work together. She is well-versed in all types of photography from weddings to commercial. I am looking forward continuing to use Radostina for many many more projects. Not only is she super fun to work with but I love that she brings her undying passion to every single project/shoot. Such a joy to work with!! If you want a photographer who truly cares about her work and your happiness, you don't need to look any further. An easy 5 star rating!
