    We had the absolute best experience with Hector Gurrola Photography for our wedding! From the very start, he was professional, kind, and so easy to work with. Hector and his colleague, Carlos Cruz, were incredible--organized, creative, and amazing at problem-solving, which made the day feel effortless and stress-free. They captured every emotion, every little detail, and all the in-between moments so beautifully. Looking through the photos feels like reliving the best day of our lives. We're beyond grateful and would recommend him to anyone looking for timeless, heartfelt wedding photos and a team that truly goes above and beyond.

    Wedding

    My husband and I hired Hector for our wedding and it was the best decision we made for our special day. Hector is a talented photographer and it is evident in his work. From the beginning he was so kind and responsive to any questions we had and was super flexible throughout the whole process. On the day of our wedding it was pouring rain, and I was super nervous about the photos but Hector was extremely reassuring the day of and despite the rain, he captured the most beautiful pictures of me and my husband. We got our photos within a couple of weeks and the results exceeded our expectations. Hector's work speaks for itself, you will not regret hiring him for any special event. Thank you Hector! We can't wait to work with you again in the future!

    The best experience that I could have had in my photo shoot thank you Hector for capturing that very special day for me 100% recommended. I really appreciate you

    Hector and his team are amazing. He truly is a master of his craft as a photographer. Hector took his time to answer all our questions from our initial meeting with him, before the wedding, and after when we were selecting our final pictures for our wedding album. Hector and his team are not only professional but friendly and communicative, which made us and our family feel comfortable when taking pictures the day of the wedding. Especially with our Spanish speaking family members. He captured our special day perfectly and the final pictures were breathtaking. We are so happy that we selected Hector as our photographer and we will cherish our beautiful wedding pictures forever!

    We contracted with Hector for my wedding and I have to say, he was incredible! The professionalism and respect he has for his art are very clear. I really appreciated his charisma and charm throughout the day, not only with the bride and groom (me and my hubby), but with all of our family and friends. In a day that is as joyous as it is stressful, he kept his cool (on one of the hottest days of the year) in order for us to just enjoy our celebration. The photographs were incredible as well. Again, this is someone who truly loves and respects his craft. He has an artistic vision and he 100% delivers! We received our printed wedding portrait and photo albums yesterday. I couldn't wait to put it up on my wall, I was so excited. The quality of the proto albums is excellent as well. Hector pays close attention to even the smallest details, and it shows as he has received multiple awards for his work.

    Hector Gurrola has provided us with amazing engagement and wedding photographs! From the beginning of meeting him in person, he felt like family, and was very friendly and professional. He was also able to work with us during the pandemic with all of our wedding changes. Hector also pays attention to details, and makes you feel very comfortable through all the nervous moments. Thanks to him we are able to look at our pictures and re-live both of our weddings. The moments capture will last a lifetime! I am so glad we chose him for our wedding and engagement!! Will continue to hire him for our future events. Thank you H.G.

    Hector is an artist and visionary. Being in front of the camera is not a natural or comfortable moment for me, but Hector made magic happen. As I look at these photos, I didn't even recognize the shy person I usually am when the camera comes out. Thank you Hector for your professionalism, ability to direct and cue me at the right moments, as well as capture me at my best without difficulty. I highly recommend Hector and he is worth every penny!

    Hector suggested Pasadena City Hall as the location for the photo session given the type of pictures my fiancé and I wanted to take.

    I can't express how thankful my husband and I are to have Jana as our doula. My husband was…read moreoriginally doubtful about spending the extra money but was so impressed with her at our delivery that he told me after that "she was worth her weight in gold. From our first initial consultation, Jana provided a wealth of information and lent me books. Due to some complications, my Drs recommended inducing me early and Jana was flexible in being there for us. During my labor, Jana helped me with the excruciating back labor. She braided my hair, gave me back pressure and helped my husband in supporting me. Because of Jana, we were able to have the best birth experience possible.

Both my…read morehusband and I agreed that we would be more comfortable with having a doula present, who could help us navigate through these unchartered waters. After researching and speaking with many doulas, we decided to go with Jana. She was extremely professional, organized, knowledgeable, and most importantly, listened to what we wanted and even asked us questions that made us think about aspects of the birth we had not considered. At our first visit, she gave us a very comprehensive overview of what to expect and how to best prepare for the big day. When my contractions started, we were in constant communication via text and phone. She immediately recognized that the baby was not in a favorable position and was causing me immense pain. She suggested exercises and positions to try and get baby to turn. At the hospital, Jana worked very well with our nurse and was our advocate and spokesperson when we needed her to be. She was prepared with snacks (juice can only go so far) and other comfort items like a vaporizer with essential oils. Throughout the almost 12 hours at the hospital, Jana struck a balance between knowing when to step in and suggest positions to my husband and I, when to back off and let me do my thing, and when to push me to drink or rest. Having someone we trusted there to help guide us was invaluable, especially in allowing my husband time to get food or rest. Without Jana, I wouldn't have had the natural childbirth experience I wanted. The week after my son was born, Jana followed up to check in on us and also stopped by for a visit. It was re-assuring to have her there to answer any questions and be a resource for us first time parents. I strongly recommend her doula services and she will be my first call if we decide to add to our family!

    I had high hopes for this videographer based on the experience he reported and the sample videos he…read moreprovided prior to me contracting with him to complete several short videos to be housed on my business website. Unfortunately, my experience was a total disappointment. Mina promised professional-quality work but delivered something that felt more like that of a student or novice in the field. Ultimately, the final product was of such poor quality that I was left with no other alternative but to completely reshoot all the videos with another unaffiliated professional videographer. Specifically, the final videos contain extensive sound skips, awkward transitions, and overall poor editing decisions. Even with repeated requests for these matters to be resolved in editing, Mina has consistently reported he believes he has provided an exceptional product and has no further contractual obligation. Although his contract states it includes "comprehensive editing to create a polished video," he advised he would not provide additional edits (repeated and inappropriate stock images, a typo to my business name, and extensive audio issues) unless I paid an additional $350. Not only was this cost undisclosed, but the edits I requested should have largely been resolved by him prior to him presenting me with any final product. Mina's unprofessionalism was additionally problematic throughout the project. On the day of the shoot he arrived 45 minutes late, compromising the natural light available. Additionally, he was 15+ minutes late for the 3 additional meetings where he presented his work. At best, this was just a blatant disregard for the value of my time and the investment he has in his own professional image. All in all, this was a very frustrating and disappointing experience. The project has been a total loss for me.

Erin is also very talented and she was able to take some shots of the Ojai mountains (we got married at the Red Tail Ranch) with another lens--very well executed plan. We also splurged and asked Kelly to create a book of our wedding, which we adore--we just knew it would take us a year to find time to do it on our own, and it was fun to get it back in time to show family and friends over the holidays. We could not be happier with the photos Kelly took.
