My husband and I were expecting our first child and were so excited to do a maternity shoot. We had specific ideas and details in mind and Heather was able to capture them perfectly. The communication between us was great! She showed up to our two locations beforehand and was prepared for our shoot with some cool ideas of her own. Heather was punctual, professional and just really awesome to work with. We live by the beach and wanted to take some photos in the water. She was right there with us and her poor legs were probably numb from the super cold water, but she went above and beyond to get the perfect photos. The images she sent us were absolutely beautiful. My husband and I had a hard time choosing our favorites because we loved so many of them. Heather is incredibly talented and did an awesome job capturing the pure happiness we felt. Because of her creativity we now have priceless memories. I would 100% reccomend Heather East Photography to anyone and will definitely be hiring her again in the future. read more

We had such a great experience working with Heather from day one. We booked Heather before the pandemic and she was very helpful and explained everything to us. Even information we didn't even know about. As the pandemic hit, we were on the verge of cancelling our wedding because we had no idea how we can make it happen. Heather called us and was very optimistic and had such great ideas for us to look into. She literally went above and beyond with helping us make our dream wedding come to life. The photographers and videographers were amazing and comfortable to work during their time with us. Overall, I would recommend Heather East Photography anyone for any occasion! read more

This is a late review but it is a well deserved one! I had the privilege of working with Heather by accident. It all started several years ago, when we were looking for a last minute photographer. I stumbled on Heather and I was very fortunate that I did. Heather was very responsive, she went above and beyond to take and deliver the picture in a record time, all while remaining within budget and on time. I was very impressed by her professionalism and work ethics. So, when the time came for my wedding, I thought she would be the best and only person I can trust with the most important day of my life. Once again, Heather went above and beyond in capturing every special moment of that day. Her ability to use the landscape, colors and filters were incredible. Heather is truly an Artist and one that take much pride in her work. After reviewing the final pictures of the wedding, I wanted to surprise my wife with an Album of my most favorite memories from that day. Once again, Heather was there and she was instrumental in making this project much easier and more fun! The final product was AMAZING and it certainly made a beautiful gift for my wife. As I am writing this, I realized that this should have been three reviews lol. But my point is, Heather is a very talented artist and if you are getting married or engaged or whatever the occasion is, I strongly encourage you to invest in her services. Your big day is a once in a lifetime event and having Heather and her artistic vision will ensure that you have the memories of this day last forever. Thank you Heather for being the beautiful artist and person you are. I certainly appreciate all your hard work. Sincerely, Fady Boules read more

I found Heather through social, and amongst all the photographer searching, it was the way she captured such spirit in her photos that had me hooked. From the very first email, she was informative and inquisitive to our wedding day wishes, and was happy to answer any questions. Heather, her second photographer Sam, and photobooth associate were all wonderful to work with. She made me feel beautiful and at ease, and despite our camera shyness, my husband and I gained beautiful photos together from that day. The photobooth set up was stacked with fun props (panda head!), and it was a hit! Heather's seasoned professionalism showed not only from the way she easily set up photos, but also with tips, timing, and advice on many other aspects throughout our wedding day. Thank you Heather and team! read more

Heather is AMAZING! I've had Heather take all of my branding photos for my coaching business, and I cannot recommend her enough. She made me feel comfortable and confident, and the pictures are some of the best I've ever had. She has a sweet and chill vibe, and I'll continue to use her for any and all of my photography needs!! read more

We stumbled upon Heather back in 2016 on the knot when looking for our wedding photographer but she quickly turned into our forever photographer! We have since used Heather for our engagement shoot, wedding, newborn photos, family photos and will be using her for everything else in the future! It's so fun experiencing all our milestones with Heather, we love her! Heather is of course very professional but beyond that she makes it so much fun and helps you feel comfortable behind the camera. We always get our photos back very timely and I'm am taken back every time at how amazing they come out. I don't know why I'm surprised at this point though! As some side notes, her prices are very reasonable, she will travel, does photo booths and has excellent assistants for big events. We can't recommend her enough! read more

Heather is amazing! I recently had to plan my wedding in a matter of weeks and had a few different photographers in mind but found Heather to be extremely easy to work with and she was able to adjust to our schedule. Not only was she very detail oriented, but she also helped me figure out a few things I overlooked on the wedding day. Heather and her assistant Ariel were amazing on the day of the wedding. Both were great to work with and they made everyone feel at ease. I highly recommend her and will definitely turn to her for future photographer needs :) *Also... I wanted to point out that even though she's currently located in Redlands, she came out to meet me in Los Angeles! read more

Heather is an extremely talented wedding and event photographer. I recommended her to a couple I coordinated a wedding for after seeing some of her work online. The images blew our minds, the way she captured the energy and fine details were beyond our expectations. I always tell my clients the most important investment in their wedding is the photos as they last a lifetime, the wedding lasts one day. I highly recommend Heather East of HE Weddings to capture your special occasion. read more

Heather was recommended by a colleague to photograph our firm's Holiday Party. We hired her to take event footage as well as photo booth pictures. She was extremely professional and attentive to all our requests. With everyone running around trying to make the night perfect, it was comforting to know that Heather had captured the event beautifully through photos of the guests and the event design - the photos turned out spectacular and will be a constant reminder of the fun night! She also set up a photo booth with her colleague, Vanessa. The backdrop was a red curtain to capture the theme of the event, which was Classic Hollywood. There was an awesome display of props for everyone to use and really added to the fun of the photo booth. The images turned out great and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. I would highly recommend Heather to anyone looking for a photographer or photo booth. read more

Heather was fantastic and easy to work with. She and her team are professional and knew how to help organize and prepare for our big day so we had no stress about what was going to happen the day of.

Heather & her team just finished my daughters wedding yesterday. She & her team are professional & easy going. They put everyone at ease & created a great environment for her wedding day. Haven't seen the final pics yet but I feel sure we won't be disappointed. Thank you Heather! read more

Heather was our photographer for engagement photos at the Griffith observatory and downtown LA, and we couldn't be happier with the results! We've never taken professional photos before, but she made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She had creative ideas for the photo backgrounds. Check out her website, she does a great job of making photos not feel staged. We loved the photos she sent us and had a tough time having to choose the final cut. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a special events photographer in the LA area! Plus...she's really fun! read more

Heather East is the BEST wedding photographer EVER!!! She is based out of Redlands, CA but shot my wedding on the Big Island of Hawaii as well as my grooms gift (boudoir shoot). I do not have any experience modeling and was a little nervous about doing a boudoir shoot but I thought it would be way better than a watch or other common commodity people get for a wedding gift. My hubby is a surfer and I wanted beach/water shots as well as water shots. She not only arranged everything from hair an make-up, shoot location, and outfits but she made me feel so comfortable. She was very professional yet gave great instructions for poses and was goofy enough to make me feel comfortable. It was a great experience. Now onto the wedding. Heather came to our meeting well prepared with photo examples and a variety of packages. She was incredibly thorough from going through my pinterest list of photo inspiration to the venue walk through to assisting my planner in making sure the timeline would also give us the best possible photos to the day of shoot. She researched a sourced a local second shooter and photo assistant to help with our photo guest book. And of course... most importantly the photos that I have seen (our sneak peak) is AMAZING!!! I would absolutely recommend Heather for your Engagement session, Boudoir, or Wedding Day! read more

I do not usually post many reviews, but Heather is an exception because she is and was exceptional. The first time I utilized her services was few years ago, for my Grad school graduation picture. The picture was perfect and it remains hanged in the hallway of the Inland Empire campus of Azusa Pacific University. When I was about to get married, I reached out again to Heather. As always, she was fast, efficient and was able to provide us with an estimate and worked with our budget. Working with Heather is truly a blessing. She is talented, humble and punctual. I have only seen the preview of the pictures and I was so happy that we have chose such an incredible artist to capture one if not the most important moment of our lives. Again, Thank you Heather for being such a wonderful artist. To those of you who are shopping around for a photographer. My only advise to you is, remember that quality is more important than quantity. The price of the package could be higher than some people in the market, but the job she did capturing these precious moments make it worth every penny ! read more

Heather photographed my recent wedding, as well as my engagement photos. She did a fantastic job. We chose her because of her casual, almost journalistic style. She's great about catching moments that are unexpected and not posed. She's also very open to input and feedback, genuinely wanting to capture all of the moments that you want included. She is very organized, and she didn't have to refer to a shot list or anything like that. In addition to her talent, she was budget friendly for what I wanted to spend. And, more than all of that, she's a fun person. She was just a cool person for my husband and I to spend time with for an afternoon while the three of us did our engagement session. I would highly recommend her photography. read more

Heather is definitely an amazing photographer. Not only is she artistic, but she is also very understanding and helpful. She enjoys what she does, which makes the experience that much better. We were fortunate to have Heather for our wedding shower, engagement shoot, and wedding. We have a built a wonderful relationship with her, which made it very easy to communicate with Heather. Which allowed her to ensure we received all the photos we wanted and had in mind. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. read more

Heather did some portraits for me. They look amazing. She is a genius behind the camera.

I am recently married and Heather was fantastic during the whole wedding process! When I was searching for a photographer for my wedding day on Yelp, I found Heather had great reviews. When we first met, she was professional, fun and listened to everything I had to say. She had great package options that had everything in them that I wanted, even a videographer, who also did a wonderful job. We did an engagement shoot with Heather, which was so great. She let me send her tons of photos ahead of time, and worked with me on re-creating some of the same posses I liked. She lets you pick 3 spots to take pictures, and was with us the entire day. The pictures turned out beautiful. Before my wedding she came to do a site walk through of my venue, so we could talk about where we wanted our photos taken. On the wedding day, she helped run the show so I didn't have to stress about anything. She told people where to go and what to do in the group photos. She also helped me re-create some posses that I liked on this day and was very accommodating. Heather was with me the entire day, capturing every photo moment that she needed, from me getting my hair and makeup done, to putting on my dress, to the grand exit, and everything in between. She brought a wedding assistant with her who also did a great job and was very helpful. The photo booth we had set up turned out so beautiful and fun. So far the pictures I have seen from my wedding turned out so great! I am so excited to see the rest. Heather is easy to work with, creative, very responsive and helpful through phone and email. I highly recommend her for any photography needs you may have! read more

Heather is amazing! She's done my engagement, wedding, and maternity photos. From the beginning it was like working with someone I've known forever, she makes you feels so comfortable and her work is absolutely beautiful! read more

Heather photographed our wedding last October and she was AMAZING! We can't say enough good things about her. She is extremely talented, friendly, professional, responsive, and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We went with Heather because we liked her style of photography (more candid/journalistic) and her prices were very reasonable. We feel she went above and beyond to make sure we got the best photos. She took time to visit our venue before the wedding, and she was able to manage and photograph our 19 person wedding party beautifully! We highly recommend Heather and will definitely be using her again for future occasions. read more
