I just want to start by saying, the absolute BEST decision my now husband and I made during our…read moreentire wedding planning process.. was hiring Michelle to be our photographer! Every photo is gorgeous and will be our most treasured gifts for the rest of our lives. On top of this, Michelle is just an absolute JOY to work with! She made the entire process easy and stress free, even though we were living and planning from across the country. Our engagement shoot was a blast (we were for real laughing in almost every photo!) and our wedding day was the same! She is professional, always quick to get back to us via email/text, and we sincerely appreciated her keeping us in the loop with updates on the delivery of our final photos. Michelle is forever our girl for any and all professional photography!

She is so easy going and made us feel so comfortable. We were able to just play around with her in our own goofy way. The photos from our wedding are truly stunning. We will be able to cherish these photos forever. I cannot recommend Michelle enough to anyone looking for a photographer. You will NOT be disappointed.

Erica was my manager back a couple of years ago and I noticed that she did wedding photography so I…read moreintroduced her to a couple I knew was getting married that was looking to hire one. To no surprise they loved her. She provided quality photos and a couple of photographers who genuinely enjoyed what they were doing. With their knowledge on photography and their availability they became the go-to photography company I would recommend to all friends/family getting married. Their photos are fantastic and their communication is superb. Erica not only ensured great communication with the wedding couple, but went out of her way to provide all packages that the couple felt comfortable affording and desiring. I am writing a review on the couple's behalf as they aren't yelpaholics like myself but they wanted me to ensure that Erica was definitely someone they thoroughly enjoyed working with and to that end I take great pride in knowing my old manager has moved on to a career she excels in. The best part about Erica is that she is married and knows about the desires and beauty couples want to see in their wedding photos and her passion for photography is the reason why I RECOMMEND HER.

After hearing about Wedding Bell Studios from a family friend, I referred them to my sister. My…read moresister, being very meticulous, wanted the photography done a specific way and Erica met with her and she delivered! The final pictures were delivered on time and came out better than we could have imagined. Every important moment was captured and the photos gracefully illustrate the story of my sisters special day. The candid pictures of everyone having fun at the reception were plentiful & amazing. Thank you Erica -- it doesn't get any better!

Vanessa was an absolute dream to work with and truly exceeded all our expectations. She went above…read moreand beyond to ensure that every detail and moment of our wedding day was captured beautifully. From the first meeting, it was clear how passionate and dedicated she is to her craft. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and made sure to understand our vision and priorities. When she found out we had more details in our wedding than expected, she brought on a third photographer on her own to make sure she didn't miss any of our special details. We appreciate that gesture so much! Her attention to detail was extraordinary. From the tiniest decor elements to the big, emotional moments, she didn't miss a thing. One of our favorite things was how she captured the little interactions--our parents laughing together, our flower girl twirling in her dress, and those quiet, stolen glances between us. Not only was her work phenomenal, but she also has an incredible ability to guide us into candid, natural interactions that felt genuine and fun. Vanessa didn't just take pictures--she gave us memories that we'll cherish forever. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is talented, professional, and truly invested in making your day unforgettable, look no further. She's the best of the best!

We are so grateful we chose Vanessa as our photographer for both our engagement shoot and wedding…read moreday! From our very first Zoom call, I could tell she was someone we'd easily get along with--super friendly, easy-going, and just a warm presence to be around. That first impression held true throughout the entire experience. Vanessa and her team were incredibly professional, yet still made everything feel seamless and fun. On our wedding day, the photo-taking process didn't feel stressful or staged at all--it just felt natural, and we actually enjoyed it! She made both my husband and I feel completely comfortable, and our bridal party and families absolutely loved her too. One thing I especially appreciated was how thoughtful she was in bringing our vision to life. She took inspiration photos I had shared and really incorporated them in a way that felt authentic to us. She also had us fill out detailed questionnaires before the big day to understand our story and what mattered most to us, which was such a meaningful touch. Vanessa also gave us the perfect amount of guidance and recommendations, both during the engagement shoot and on the wedding day--something we truly needed and appreciated. And as a bonus, one of her assistants even created a short behind-the-scenes video for socials, which was such a thoughtful surprise! If you're looking for someone who's professional, talented, and genuinely invested in making your day as special as possible--not to mention someone who will leave you with photos you'll absolutely love--I can't recommend Vanessa enough.

She has such a warm, easy presence that makes you feel completely comfortable, almost like a friend is there taking your photos rather than it feeling awkward or performative. She made the whole wedding day feel seamless, like we were just laughing and enjoying the moment with a buddy by our side. :) At the same time, she is incredibly skilled and artistic. She has a real eye for natural beauty and for capturing genuine, meaningful moments in a way that feels true to the day rather than overly staged or overdone. She was also efficient and thoughtful about making sure we got the moments that mattered most to us. Looking through the photos feels like being transported right back into our wedding day. I'm so happy I had the chance to work with her!!

Jennifer Whalen Weddings gave my wife the dream weddings she never knew she wanted. While my wife…read morethought she wanted a traditional wedding, after the stress of trying to coordinate one with all our family/friends and looking at the crazy cost of even a simple wedding, we decided to elope. After finding Jennifer Whalen and seeing the Big Sur Stary night package we never looked back. Jennifer did an excellent job helping us through the whole process and providing clear directions (lots of checklist!) when we had our wedding at Big Sur in June of 2025. The recommendations Jennifer gave us all worked out extremely well and she gave solid advice on how to tweak things to our liking (like about hairdresser and lodging - we did Glenn Oaks grove for our wedding + Tinkle Pink in for honey money). Having our ceremony in the woods and traveling to beautiful beachside cliffs/beaches was a day that made our day more like an adventure. We have so many memories from that day and the pictures still bring tears to my wife's eye when she sees them (I put some of them as our Roku backdrop so they show up on our TVs every now and then) Advice I would give for anyone planning on doing this is prepare for all sorts of weather for your self and spouse as it could be super-hot or super cold/wet so just bring some photo worth options and plan your clothes for whatever comes. Don't be surprised when the fog doesn't cooperate.

Absolutely LOVED working with Jennifer and Espresso Weddings…read more I was looking for a wedding photographer that wasn't cheesy with their poses and specifically wanted shots that looked more natural and candid. Once I saw her website, I was hooked. Immediately, I reached out to Jennifer and she was great at communicating and setting up a time for our engagement photos. She told us we'd have our photos by a certain date and actually sent us a link to our album a week before then! We really liked how the photos captured our personalities and how fun they were to take. I'm always awkward when taking pictures and am unsure of where my hands go (much like Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights), but I basically did whatever I wanted and Jen got a gajillion great photos. She is SUPER organized and has one of the coolest ideas called table races. I really wanted photos of us with EVERYone who came to our wedding and Jen does this thing where the bride and groom run around and take photos with every single table. It was done in less than 5 minutes, as time was a concern of ours, and they turned out so fun! We got the package that included a wedding book and I couldn't narrow down the photos I liked because there were so many! So I basically picked a ton of pics and let Jen do her magic. When we received the book, we were absolutely blown away. The organization of the photos and the thought put into each page was perfect! If you're looking for a wedding photographer, Jen is your girl. Book her now!
