Choosing a photographer for our wedding was one of the most important decisions and we are so glad…read morewe chose Race and Jess of Outlive Creative. There are not enough nice words to say about Race and Jess and how fantastic these pair are as wedding photographer/videographer. From the very first contact, they were prompt in responding, patient, understanding and accommodating. Nothing was a problem and they were just a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end. We also want to mention how lovely these two were on the day itself. They were calm, happy and genuinely interested in the two of us and our friends and families. They also stayed beyond their scheduled time in order to capture all the different aspects of the day which was so kind. When Race messaged me that the video would be ready soon, we got so excited (and also because it was sent the day before Dustin's birthday). Dustin and I watched it together and just cried because of how it was beautifully made. It was perfect! Every one who's seen it said nothing but praises and how it also made them cry. Our photographs are absolutely spectacular and no matter how times we have looked at them since, we always comment on how lucky we were to have Race and Jess. Thank you so much for all your help in making our wedding day absolutely perfect and in doing an amazing job at capturing all the very best moments of the day! You guys are truly the best! Proud to have talented cousins!We love you guys!!!

From the sets to the photography and styling -- this is everything you could possibly want for a fantastically fun time. The dressing room and bathrooms are even decked out for fun selfie time during outfit changes and the accessory station is divine. Eric and the whole crew bring so much fun and creativity to each session and set, you cannot go wrong. If you've never gone and gotten professional shots done, it is worth every penny and moment. Also, best date ever. Who doesn't want to sit in front of a camera on a glamorous set feeling pretty???

We live in Canada and planned a destination wedding to the LA area, so someone willing to email, skype and communicate effectively was important. Brian fulfilled all this and more - he also was a much needed source of calm within the storm of the wedding day itself and the hours leading up to the ceremony! The photos are stunning and we couldn't be happier. We received the proofs quickly, along with a highlight video, and could access and share them easily. After posting them on Facebook, we had so many likes and comments - especially from our friends that are photographers - congratulating us on the photos. Thank you Brian, we wish you the greatest success and highly recommend you as a wedding/event photographer!

Ken is the photographer, and the wife Yoyo is the make up artist. Both of them are really nice and has lots of patience. Ken give great instructions on posting.

He was able to communicate efficiently between every pose and was friendly and patient so I never felt awkward or embarrassed. Trust me, I am a very awkward individual and Ken was able to capture photos of me that ranged from elegant, to high fashion, to fairy tale cuteness - a challenging feat! Whether you're a seasoned model or have never been in front of a camera, Ken can bring out the best sides of you. In the past, I've worked with photographers who instructed their clients to do very generic poses meant to go with certain backgrounds. This is not the case with Ken. The day of the shoot I brought a variety of outfits with me and as he helped me sift through them, he had a vision for every one. After a few shots, he quickly determined what props would go well with the photo or minor tweaks/improvisations to improve the overall shot. It was clear to me that Ken made every effort to ensure the pictures were tailored to me specifically. I loved every shot. :) Special shout out to Yoyo the make up artist for fixing/updating my hair and make up between outfit changes. Her hands are magic! :) Thank you, Ken and Yoyo, for a great experience!

That morning of our wedding, we hike a beautiful cliff in big sur that they scouted for us and had the best experience in our life to start our wedding day with them. Our sunrise pictures were amazing , the sneak peek we got shows how talented in their craft they are. They made us feel comfortable and the final product was captivating . They were engaging and a lot of fun to work with also best part there were some hiccups with the elopement that turned to wedding, it was 6 month to plan this and because Big Sur is a place where landslides and storms could happen, they were very adaptable with all the last minute changes with the lodgings and place of wedding. They even offered to help with what we promise them we will do and made us have a good wedding week and I cannot believe the extent of know how they have with wedding photos and videos. I highly recommend them to all our friends and family . Such a customized photography experience.

Onto the photos themselves, Kyle has an eye for capturing candid shots, flattering lighting to direct your eye and setting the mood in the photos. We will forever cherish the photos you documented on our big day.

At our first meeting, he was enthusiastic, organized, and asked all kinds of questions to better understand our vision. The day of the ceremony, he helped us add structure to our pre-ceremony process by nailing down clear portrait timelines for each of us. He has an upbeat and easy-going attitude, which helped both of us feel comfortable while posing for portraits. And further, he clearly has a great eye and improvises well, because he was able to incorporate what might have otherwise looked like a mundane neighborhood setting into beautifully lit, unique photos. Kyle took all kinds of creative, moment-catching candid shots during our ceremony and reception that we couldn't be happier with. When we showed our wedding photos to friends and family afterwards, they consistently expressed surprise and delight at how Kyle was able to capture so many nuanced moments without being intrusive. TL;DR: We love all of our wedding photos and are so grateful to Kyle for sharing his talents with us! If you're looking for someone who is detail-oriented and ready to celebrate with you, we highly recommend Kyle!
