We are very awkward and self conscious humans and she was so engaging and down to earth that really helped us be ourselves. We also booked Meg as our Wedding photographer and I cannot begin to rave about how lovely and encouraging she was the day of my very anxious wedding day. We received back the photos within a very short 3 weeks and they were so incredible. I am a designer as my career who deals with alot of photographers for photo shoots and her editing abilities surpass them all. The way she captures moods and emotion is incredible. If you are considering booking with her, do it and you will not be disappointed.

She is incredibly experienced and intuitive about light and color and is very warm, welcoming and fun to work with. She helped me choose wardrobe from the things I had brought, chose complementary backgrounds and directed me expertly for the most flattering shots. After the shoot she quickly pared down the shots to a few dozen which we went through together in order to find the final three. The entire process was smooth and easy and under an hour total. Within just a couple days she had gently edited the photos and emailed me a download link. Super simple and quick! I am not especially comfortable having my picture taken and was apprehensive about the appointment but it was an absolute joy and I couldn't be more happy with the images we ended up with. Thank you so much, Jenny!

As a wedding designer and planner, having Sarah on a clients wedding brings me so much peace of mind! I know I can count on Sarah through and through--whether it be prior to the big day, on the actual wedding day, or post (getting her teaser galleries are one of my favorite moments of the post wedding experience). Sarah always shows up with the best can-do attitude and is such a team player! One of the biggest stress relievers for the day (wedding planning speaking) is when I know the photographer will lead the couple through all photos prior to the ceremony. On a wedding day, I'm juggling a million and one things--set up, other vendors, problems that arise, your Aunt Susan needing to know where she can set her purse down, etc etc etc.--knowing that my couple is fully covered, that's priceless for me!! Now let's jump to personal : ) Sarah actually captured my engagement photos, pregnancy announcement photos, and came and did an in home session once my daughter was born. She brings such a happy and spunky personality into all of her work and it's just honestly a joy to be around her and watch her do her thing!! The photos that she's captured for my family over the past years are ones that currently hang on our walls and one day will be what we pass down to our family. In short, Sarah is the best!!

Her style is elegant, clean, and airy and, while she's so happy to execute specific photos and shots one your wish lists, she's also excellent at allowing you to move throughout the day freely and capture the small, lovely moments in between. We had a 150-person wedding at the Center for Urban Horticulture, which is a large, spread-out venue, and Janelle and her team were always where we needed them to be, capturing all of the special moments of our day! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for weddings, portraits, and everything in between!

I truly can't say enough good things about working with Janelle. She went above and beyond during…read moreour engagement photo shoot, both in how she cared for us as people and in the quality of the images she delivered. I'm someone who usually ducks and hides the moment I see a camera pointed my way, but her warmth, humor, and gentle direction completely changed that for me. Her energy made me feel confident, at ease, and even beautiful in front of the lens, which is something I never thought I'd say. My fiancé and I had an absolute blast the entire shoot. She made the whole experience feel like a fun date rather than a stiff photo session. She captured our personalities and connection so effortlessly. Every photo feels authentic, joyful, and somehow even more magical than we remember the moment being. Her eye for detail, composition, and light is truly unmatched. You can tell she brings not just technical skill, but heart and artistry to everything she does. The final gallery blew us away. We're having the hardest time choosing favorites because they're all so stunning. If you're looking for someone who's not only wildly talented but also kind, genuine, and an absolute joy to be around, look no further. I cannot recommend Janelle enough.

Stephanie and her husband Ryan, of Ahava Studios, were the absolute first vendors I picked. I shopped around and looked at the work of other photographers, but to me their work is - and was, for our event - just perfect. Stephanie is super easy to work with, really communicative and understanding, and just an all-around sweet gal who might make you want to hound her into being friends with you when everything is said and done... or was that just me? I met her husband and associate shooter, Ryan, for the first time at the actual event and I cannot say enough good things about him either. Our final slideshow and gallery were delivered in an incredibly timely manner and even though Stephanie set up an auto-response saying she was on vacation, homegirl STILL answered any question I had via email, at pretty much any time. She has great ideas and is exceptionally talented at catching the little details of your day. I plan to book Stephanie and her associates any time I need a photographer!

If you want truly incredible wedding photographs that are not just timeless but artistic, you won't hire anyone but Stephanie at Ahava Studios! I hired Stephanie to shoot our wedding, as well as to do a boudoir shoot a few months before the wedding. I was nervous about doing the shoot in the days leading up to it, after expressing my feelings to Stephanie she seemed to know just what to say to calm me down and reassure me, of I guess myself and how I am documenting one of the most exciting times in my life. I was doing the shoot to have Stephanie create a beautiful photo book of pictures as a gift for my husband on our wedding day. She arrived to the shoot with a bottle with champagne in hand, which not only helped to relax my nerves, but it made the experience feel fancy! What girl doesn't love someone bringing her champagne!? Stephanie made me feel so comfortable during the shoot, and even sent me a couple sneak peaks of pictures that night! The photo book turned out better than I could have imagined, and my husband absolutely loves it. Then for the big day! I think that every bride in the back of their mind is somewhat worried about particular photo ops being missed. I mean there is so much going on at a wedding how can one person be in so many places at once? Stephanie somehow managed to do it, and do it beautifully. There were moments throughout the event (such as right after the ceremony) that I literately thought to myself, I didn't even see our photographer anywhere around, I really really hope that she got shots of this, or that. I honestly don't remember hardly seeing her at all throughout the day. But when we got our pictures, you would have thought she'd been my personal shadow for hours. She captured everything, plus more than we could have hoped for. From everyone getting ready, to guest arriving, the entire ceremony, the reception, us leaving the venue, plus all the family & wedding party pictures. She was like a one woman photography wonder, I really don't know how she did it all. Something that I really want to emphasis, what an artistic eye Stephanie has. She has an eye for the best angles, back drops, props to use. She took the most incredible pictures of all the details, such as our wedding rings, my wedding shoes, our toasting glasses, the cake....so unique. Something that I think turns a lot of people off to a photographer, is the price. You see this number that seems so outrageous to you for pictures, that you just go onto looking for the next photographer who's price seems more, "reasonable". My husband was one of those people. Totally turned off by the price. That is until we got our pictures. Not only were the services provided to us worth every penny that we paid, but after seeing how great everything turned out & how happy we were, we would have paid even more. You really get what you pay for, and Ahava Studios delivers every cent worth. Thank you so much for all the time & effort you put into shooting our wedding. We couldn't have been happier with our photos and look forward to doing more business in the future! Zack & Katrina Wright
