Where do I even begin? Amy is the #1 choice for wedding photography! From the very beginning she…read morewas extremely helpful and thorough and made the process a dream for us. She shot our engagement photos and wedding and we couldn't be happier. Not only did she assist and help us every step of the way, she took our vision and turned it into something even better than we imagined. Not knowing exactly what we wanted for our engagement shoot, we picked the location (Santa Barbara) and she took it from there. We spent the entire day trekking around the city finding the perfect spot and she nailed it every time. Our wedding day was seamless and whether it was pre-planning each shot or helping with the timeline, she jumped in with both feet and had everything rolling smoothly. We decided to have a "First Look" so we had a lot of photos to take in a short time period and we couldn't have made it happen without her leading the charge. Amy is a true professional that has the innate ability to put the most nervous nelly bride at ease. I would recommend her to anyone (friend or family) as you won't be disappointed.

I knew nothing about professional photography or how senior pictures were supposed to work, and Amy…read moreguided me through every step of the process. Her approach to getting to know her clients first and then choosing the perfect location made such a big difference. The photos she created of my son are absolutely beautiful, and we are both so proud of them. Amy offers several packages at different price points, and she was incredibly respectful of my budget, which was on the lower side. Even though I could have found a cheaper photographer, I'm so glad I chose Amy. The package I picked was high quality and still very affordable, and I never once felt pressured to go beyond what I told her I could spend. My son chose to have his photos taken at the beach, and Amy picked the perfect spot. She paid attention to things I never would have even thought about--weather, tides, sunset timing--and it made all the difference. She also included a family photo, which meant a lot because my son and I had never had professional pictures taken together before. In the end, I spent a little more than I originally planned, but it was entirely my choice, and I always felt respected and supported. Amy's professionalism, creativity, and kindness really show in her work. I highly recommend Amy Marlan Photography for senior pictures!

Brian did an incredible job for our surprise engagement shoot! He helped me find the location which…read morewas a great choice. He really helped make this process as easy as possible from booking to getting the us pictures as quickly as he could. We are very happy with how our pictures came out and would definitely book him again! If you want great pictures and quality service, definitely book him.

If you are contemplating to hire Brian for your next photo shoot, think no further and go for it…read more We had a hassle free experience with Brian. I reached out to him on yelp for couple portraits and he promptly responded with his availability, suggestions and inputs. He immediately understood the aesthetic I was looking for when I said I want some portraits at the beach during sunset. He was watchful of weather and set clear expectations of how photos may turn out if weather is not in favor. He suggested an alternate location where the golden hour views would be picture perfect. He turned up fully prepared and was patient through out the 1 hour session, understanding the looks I wanted and made us comfortable. He has provided the edits with in the time he promised. Special shout out for the thoughtful Polaroids he shot and gave us as a takeaway on the day of the shoot. Definitely helped holding up the excitement for the final edits. The final edits were well worth! Beautiful compositions and use of light in the pictures in an outdoor setting speaks for his technical expertise in photography. Wonderful experience and Epic photography worth every penny! Thanks Brian :)

Kacie was great when we first met. But unfortunately our experience has been difficult since…read more Our engagement shoot was great and we had an awesome time talking about how we felt like long-time friends upon meeting. I had a big wedding party. There were 9 girls and we tried our best the day of but unfortunately we did not get all the shots we needed. She was super open and honest about it but I do wish we had a second person. We are going on a year out of our wedding and she has stopped contacting us and we are missing pictures from a beautiful sunset shoot we had and pictures of the reception. She last communicated in March to let us know of the delay. And I have checked back 3 times without a response. Kacie is a great person but a wedding of 120 and a bridal party if 9 girls and 8 groomsman might have been out of her experience level. I hope to one day get the pictures I have been waiting for but at this point I'm not holding my breath.

I can't thank Blake and Robin enough…read more I need to find better adjectives, but our wedding pictures and video teaser were BEAUTIFUL, warm and candid. Which is exactly what I was looking for in our wedding photos. Thank you for making us feel special and capturing these beautiful moments. Blake captured some awesome shots of my mother in law who despises pictures and is not shy about dodging the photographer, so he gets an A+ just for that! Thank you for your patience and working through our hiccups, which I'm sure no wedding is short of. Thank you so much for allowing us to incorporate Louie's car into our pictures which was a bit last minute but your team handled it so well and even made us look like models! You and Robin truly make an epic team. Wishing you guys many more years of success. If you are looking for a photographer and/or videographer, look no further.

She had recently been a BM in a wedding and said the bride's photographer was awesome and asked if I wanted his info. I was already jaded with my search and said "sure...send info my way." Long story short, Jay had us at "Hello". Loved his website, his pricing was reasonable and all we had left was to interview him on the phone to see if he was a "fit". Any bride who's planning her own wedding knows it's important you click with your vendors! My husband and I did a quick phone call and knew INSTANTLY Jay was our photographer! He did an amazing job with our engagement photos (vintage photos @ the San Jose train station & golf course where we fell in love with the sport) and just recently got our wedding photos and they're gorgeous. What we love about Jay? EVERYTHING. He's super responsive, flexible (we had some late night calls because we work late and Jay was always accommodating with our weird schedules), easy to work with, willing to work with your budget, gave good direction for photos and entertained any "ideas" you might have for your photos, which he actually encourages :). One of our FAVORITE vendors by far. WE LOVE Jay!!
