    We had our October elopement photography done by Joyce of J. Perlman Photography. Our ceremony was at Heritage House outside of Mendocino, CA. We also did some additional photos at Big River beach. Joyce did a wonderful job making us feel comfortable and capturing beautiful moments between us as well as fun moments with our families. Joyce was very creative with her suggestions and also found the most beautiful backdrops for the photos. We also appreciated Joyce including our dogs in some cherished photos. She made the process very easy for us and her professionalism and knowledge helped to create some wonderful memories.

    It's been nearly seven months since our wedding, and though we are just getting around to writing this review (honeymoon, new jobs, new city, and general pandemic craziness), we wanted to make sure that Joyce, Randy, and the world knows how happy we are with our photos. Framed pictures, thank you cards, Christmas presents to our parents, our new "wedding celebration" website/invitations, the background picture of our computers and iPhones -- we are still absolutely obsessed with our photographs. When our original wedding plans in Mexico City fell through due to COVID, we scrambled last minute to re-plan an "elopement." Luckily we were able to book Joyce and Randy directly through our accommodations and wedding venue, The Elk Cove Inn. To begin, our initial communications with Joyce and Randy were very positive and we were able to work out the details of the wedding package with our venue that fit all within our budget. They were very prompt with their responses and they answered all of our questions. On our wedding day, we were lucky to have Joyce and Randy. They were at the venue prompt, on time, in a great mood and unintrusive the entire time. We didn't even know they were there for the ceremony! Everyone raved about how fun the team was and how great they were to work with. My father was particularly impressed with Randy's background, as he spent time capturing the famous guitarist Michael Hedges. Since Joyce and Randy were familiar with the venue, they were able to quickly and seamlessly pick the best locations and areas with the best lighting, which included many different settings (the ceremony, family pictures, cutting of the cake, gazebo, garden, and beach pictures). They captured absolutely stunning pictures of us on the beach during sunset. The entire time they were excellent at giving us advice on how to pose, where to stand, and what to do with our hands (in our defense, we couldn't stop looking at our rings). They took their time editing and developing the photos, which was good, because they ensured everything was perfect. The pictures were well worth the wait. The photos and editing were incredible. Joyce and Randy were masterful in piecing together the most important moments of our big day. Seven months later and we are still absolutely stunned and couldn't be happier. We are forever grateful for Joyce and Randy for capturing our special day. They contributed to making our wedding day perfect and we cannot thank them enough for that experience. We would work with them again in a heartbeat. If you are debating on who to shoot your wedding in Northern California, look no further.

    A Great Photography Team... Priceless! There's nothing more beautiful than a sunny day after a rain storm at the ocean... Joyce & Randy of J.Perlman R.Lutge Photography, gently guided Meghan and Daniel to a private location over looking the ocean in the tiny town of Mendocino CA. The tree lined bluff and shimmering ocean was their stage and the beginning of their special day and life together. From the embrace of the first glimpse, to the romantic, playful journey across bluffs and out to the sea, Joyce and Randy seamlessly captured every moment, just as if no one was watching. An intimate MacCallum House wedding on the lawn followed with a reception in the South Dining Room. My daughter says that this was her best day ever... and we speak often about replaying this perfect day. We are grateful to Joyce & Randy for capturing the true essence of this special day and allowing us to relive it through their photography. We recommend them highly!

Also, I know she must post-edit her images, but it's nothing too over-the top, everything looks very natural. What you don't see in her portfolio is how it is to work with her. She is extremely warm yet professional. For my elopement not only was she able to recommend a wonderful officiant and florist- and picked up the flowers the morning of! she really went above and beyond for her sense of adventure. She was with us the entire action-packed day starting with a walk in the redwoods, a picknick at a winery and even went out on a kayak with us as we free-dove the kelp and explored some other features of the coast. What a great sport! I doubt many photographers would do that, on top of having great skills. I can't thank her enough for helping us our special day, and for capturing it all so well. I look back on our photos nearly daily to remember it.

She was easy to work with, invisible yet taking gorgeous shots and wow does she know the exact right spots and time of day to shoot in Mendocino and especially the Cypress Grove. She's also a great time keeper who kept us on our toes so we got the right shots. Our photos are gorgeous. Highly recommend!

    I cannot imagine a better photographer than Holly. She is beyond talented. She was so incredibly…read morefun to work with. I never once felt the camera was invasive. She made everyone of my guests feel comfortable and happy, and that comes through in the photos. She was able to get the most amazing shots. Our sunset photoshoot with her was something we dreaded, because we didn't want to miss a single moment with our guests. But with her guidance, it became this truly romantic moment I shared with my husband. It was a such moment of stillness and connection that it became our favorite part of the wedding. We are so thankful to her for building that experience for us. She is a true professional.

Holly has been amazing to work with. She shot our engagement photos up at Kirkwood Mountain and spent the day chasing us around the snow. Her communication style and vision really made us feel comfortable as we like the more candid shots. We loved our engagement photos so much, and Holly as a person, that we brought her to Thailand with us for our wedding. We got married on the island of Koh Samui with 60 of our closest friends and family, and Holly fit right in. She was charming, professional, social, and in the mix getting ever photo we asked over the 5 days. Holly captures all the moments you want to remember. I can't stop looking at our photos. She has a ton of energy, is adventurous with her camera, and isn't afraid to direct you or your people (but not in harsh way) - she gets the best out of you by making sure you are just being you. After working with Holly she's become my go to photographer (and a friend) who I recommend to all my friends for local and destination weddings, photos shoots, and adventure travel!

Our photographs turned out beautifully--very natural and not too edited. Exactly what we wanted! One moment I'll never forget during our special day is when Emily surprised us with an impromptu church exit/flower petal toss with our guests. I had mentioned the idea to her at the wedding rehearsal the night before but explained it wasn't in our floral budget. She went home that night and handpicked flowers so that we could have that experience. Truly one of our favorite moments of the day and all thanks to Emily! On top of this, a whole year later, she is answering emails and photograph edit requests. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat!

She has taken my family photos since I was a little girl. We've always had comfortable and fun sessions -- she makes everyone feel relaxed, including my daughter (which is no small feat ). The photos turn out stunning every time -- natural, beautifully edited, and full of emotion. She has such an eye for capturing little moments you didn't even realize were happening. You can tell she really loves what she does, and it shows in every detail. Whether you're looking for family photos, a special event, or just want to treat yourself to a beautiful shoot, she's your girl. Book her. You won't regret it!!
