We did not get to meet Kasie and Patrick in person until our wedding weekend, though we interviewed…read morethem on zoom due to being from San Diego and not the SLO area. We immediately got a sense of warmth and charisma from the power couple. :) There are countless things that I can say about them but I'll say my top which I think may be of service to others who are scouting for their photographer/videographer: -Kasie and Patrick are extremely in sync. They tell it like it is in a very tactful and get-down-to-business way. When you're up against the clock, and you don't have a lot of time to be indecisive .. they can help you make sound decisions, as they are experts at their craft. Our hotel venue could not let us know where we could have a moment for the first look, but they scouted out the best spot right away. -great communication. Most of our wedding guests complimented how nice they were and how efficient and quick they were. -on my wedding day there were countless moments of stress that I could never in a million years foresee (I tried to plan for things so it'd be smooth sailing day-of) and they were like so nice to me when I felt my head was going to explode with anxiety. One of my favorite moments of the day they probably don't remember, but it was when Kasie and I were in the elevator before the first look and she was just so empathetic and kind to listen to me vent about how I felt in over my head with having such a big bridal party (who were a hand full to say in the least!) .. and also Patrick helping me put on my high heel shoes again when I took them off since they were killing my feet. 1000% would seek their services again if I'm in the area again to visit, or in town for a family reunion. Thank you for making a significant impact on our lives!!

I could not be happier with our choice of Rachel Higgins to do my son's senior portraits…read more From the first moment, Rachel was extremely professional, creative, and incredibly easy to work with. In my son's words, "She is super chill, and I felt comfortable the entire time. She is fun, easy to talk to and she made the day fun." Rachel utilized fantastic angles of my son while also incorporating the landscape of downtown SLO that really brought every picture to life, and all of the final images were amazing! Her use of lighting, composition and her attention to detail were perfect. We absolutely love our son's pictures, and highly recommend Rachel Higgins to anyone looking for someone to capture truly exceptional photography.

I can't thank Blake and Robin enough…read more I need to find better adjectives, but our wedding pictures and video teaser were BEAUTIFUL, warm and candid. Which is exactly what I was looking for in our wedding photos. Thank you for making us feel special and capturing these beautiful moments.

Thank you for your patience and working through our hiccups, which I'm sure no wedding is short of. Thank you so much for allowing us to incorporate Louie's car into our pictures which was a bit last minute but your team handled it so well and even made us look like models!

She gave us…read moreseveral options with so much information (like the way the tide hits the sand, whether it requires a lot of walking or if parking is hard). The site we picked was exactly right thanks to her wisdom and insight! She also helped give us the perfect kinds of shots we wanted by talking it out, having us set up a collaborative pinterest board, and getting to know our family a little before our meet up. Brandi paid attention to every little detail! Even tiny things--like sending our USB tied with a little flower and some Polaroid copies of a few of the best shots. What a beautiful surprise! Also, our 3 year old has Autism and I don't think we've been able to get more than 2 pictures with him looking at the camera. Somehow Brandi managed to perfectly capture him in every shot. We will treasure these photos for life. We were absolutely delighted to work with such a kind, conscientious, and wonderful photographer. We would HIGHLY recommend her for any family or individual photos.
