I've been admiring Sarah's work for a couple of years now. I've especially loved her artist style…read moreand the way she sets up each photograph so when my husband and I decided to take Anniversary photos for our 10th anniversary it was an obvious choice. She is experience, knowledgeable and has a level of taste that I trust. Sarah is very professional and easy to communicate with. We had some trouble booking our venue and she was understanding and even offered to help. On the day of she was great with the kids and made us feel comfortable. I appreciate that she would ask us to turn slightly or move a little because those little things can make or break a photo. We received our proofs and she was more than happy to edit the wrinkles on my dress that were bothering me in one photo. They came out great and we will cherish them forever.

I wanted to update my review since I've now used Sarah many times. I first used her photography…read moreskills when she photographed my wedding at the Grand Del Mar. I've recently been looking through those pictures and love the moments she captured. Recently, we've hired Sarah for our Christmas card photos. Every year, it's my husband, me, and two dogs. My French bulldogs are not very focused, but Sarah worked easily with them and took really memorable pictures. Sarah also holds sessions for Disney Dapper Day - if I had kids, this would be an awesome photo shoot. Sarah is a great photographer, and she's also a joy to work with. She is sweet and kind but will also be honest about what poses/colors/lighting will and won't work. I'm so glad to have worked with her and can't wait for our next session.

Not only in the timeless and authentic memories that Jessica captured through the lens, but the overall experience of working with her! I've genuinely never met someone with more passion for what they do. Not only does she create a masterpiece of a gallery, Jessica exceeded expectations in every aspect of this session. From her changing tent so I didn't have to get naked in the middle of Santa Barbara, from adjusting my hair every 5 seconds, to coming prepared with your stool to stand on for that PERFECT angle. I'm genuinely thrilled that I've had the opportunity to work with Jessica and I can say this is the first photo session of MANY! Thank you for your encouragement, all the laughs and the everlasting memories.

Melanie's photos have become some of my most precious belongings. She has artfully captured some of…read morethe most important moments and times in my life, including my pregnancy, my daughter's first day of life (and many baby- and child-related moments since), and special occasions like my baby shower and birthday parties. These photos continue to bring me so much joy. Melanie's real talent is making photos that feel alive, that capture personality and tell stories. I've also turned to Melanie for professional head shots multiple times during my career as an actress in NYC and LA. I knew she'd deliver shots that reflect my personality and show off my best features. She also makes me feel totally comfortable in front of the lens, where it's my natural inclination to become sort of awkward. And my head shots have never looked typical, or cliche.... they always stand out, in the best way. When I needed a lifestyle shoot for photos to accompany a blog post I wrote, I flew Melanie from out of state to take the photos, since I trust her above anyone to get the best shots, and know that they'll be delivered with Melanie's expert edits (always perfect). I recommend Melanie's photography to anyone who desires high quality, stunning work that stands out, impresses others, and brings pure joy at the sight of it. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Any new mother knows that it was an anxiety-filled day of mini-disasters, mad dashes across town in taxi cabs, and desperate attempts to keep baby clean, happy and dry in their party outfits. Melanie handled all of this chaos with professional sang-froid and captured touching, beautiful, emotional moments of the day that my family and I will treasure forever. I highly recommend Melanie Rose to you, you will not be disappointed. PS - When my high-resolution disk of images was lost in the mail, she even drove to my parents' house in Queens to hand deliver it to me. What impeccable service!

Last time I wrote a review for this power couple of a company was two years ago. I felt an updated…read morereview was needed! Ruff has done our photos for our engagement, our wedding and now our first home! Every experience has been above and beyond. After not seeing them for 2 years, working with other photographers during that time, and then seeing them again, reminded us how much we truly love working with Ruff and Leslie. They are so personable, accommodating, professional and have a strong eye for photography. Their energy is genuine and organic. Even my 14 year old son said he loved working with them! I would also like to comment on the negative post that I read regarding Leslie not reaching out as soon as the client wanted to. I believe that you cannot expect a business to comment back right away. You need to give at least 48-72 hours for a response. That expectation was just wild especially for one of the best photographers in SD. These are busy business owners! AND parents at that! So that negative review is not a true representation of this business. I can speak on that because Leslie has always responded in a respectable timeframe. They have always been flexible with locations, dates and times. They do their very best to make sure everyone is on the same page and aligned. They are worth the wait and the $$$. You get more than what you pay for plus you're supporting a POC local small business!! Book them for everything over and over again. They have witnessed and been apart of such huge milestones in our lives. We wouldn't have it any other way!

Had sent an inquiry February 14, got a reply two days later from Leslie. She responded that they…read moredid have availability for my wedding and needed some details regarding it. I'll admit, I was very late in response to that email and ended up sending another inquiry on their website a month after. On April 16th- I followed up an email that I received no response to. I received a response the following day and they still had availability for my date at this time and I received a custom quote. I responded two hours after they sent me my quote and, no reply. Understandably, everyone in the wedding business is probably swamped.. so I've tried to be patient. And maybe I should've been more upfront with my budget but I feel like once I mentioned my range, all communication was cut off/halted. I inform my fiancé to attempt and send an inquiry for our date- turns out- they're no longer available. Frustrated with untimely communication but I figured- it is what it is.
