They were so organized and helpful throughout the entire process of planning our wedding twice over 3 years. I really appreciated the tips they sent over and timeline they created for us, which I used as a base for our general day of schedule. They are super talented and took so many gorgeous photos that truly captured the feel of our wedding day in a natural way. We also received our photos quickly, 3 weeks after the wedding which was great. We're so glad we chose them as our wedding photographers!

After I had narrowed down potential photographers, my husband and I went over their portfolios and agreed on B&E Photography, and we definitely made the best decision! We only needed one photographer for our small wedding, and Brandon was great and getting back and forth between our rooms to get pictures of the girls and guys getting ready. He has a great personality and made me feel much more comfortable while posing for photos. He captured so many great moments and we are so thrilled with our pictures! Since sharing them with friends and family we have gotten so many compliments on the work of Brandon. We will definitely use them in the future for family photos. Thank you!!

He also continued to impress with handling family photos and going the extra mile for the perfect shot (See attached). He jumped up on a broken piling to get a top down shot of us on a receding waterline. We would highly recommend him!

He really had everything organized and it was obvious from the beginning that he's great at what he does. No time was wasted and even with the 1 hour elopement package we chose it. We received many more photos than expected and it was just what we needed. It's hard to find photographers who are passionate about their work, but we're happy we found someone who was. You will not be disappointed.

We had the absolute best experience with Matt Roberts from Rewind Photography for our Santa Barbara…read morecourthouse wedding. From the very beginning, Matt was incredibly detailed, thoughtful, and prepared. His website alone provided so much helpful information about the Santa Barbara courthouse wedding process and answered questions I had not even thought to ask yet. Once we booked, Matt continued to go above and beyond. He helped us create a clear timeline for the day, explained where to meet, planned photo locations around the courthouse, gave practical tips about the Hall of Records/security process, and even helped us think through how to include our children and family in the photos in a way that still allowed us to have intimate moments as a couple. His communication before the wedding made everything feel organized and calm. On the wedding day, Matt was amazing. He knew exactly where to go, how to guide us, and how to keep the day flowing without making it feel staged or stressful. He helped us stay in the moment instead of worrying about "being the moment." He was professional, warm, creative, and incredibly generous with his time. He even built in extra flexibility to make sure we got the moments and pictures that mattered most to us. After the wedding, his communication was just as thoughtful. He explained the editing process clearly and sent us beautiful preview photos within just a few days. The previews already captured the feeling, flow, and joy of the day so perfectly that we are even more excited to see the final gallery. Matt's knowledge of the Santa Barbara courthouse is outstanding, not only from a photographer's perspective, but also from a bride and groom's perspective. He truly understands how to make the experience feel smooth, meaningful, and beautiful. We are so grateful we found him and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone getting married at the Santa Barbara courthouse or looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about the full experience, not just the final photos.

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Rod as our wedding photographer. In the…read morepast year I've been in 2 weddings other than my own, and for both of them the brides went with very expensive wedding photographers. Not only was Rod more pleasant to be around than either of those photographers, he also took FAR more amazing photos!! The day after the wedding, friends and family were commenting about how hard working he was and how friendly he was. He was also extremely unobtrusive--I didn't even notice him during the ceremony, yet somehow he got hundreds of great shots from different angles during that part of the wedding alone. He also got the photos back to us in a timely manner, and even added personal touches like slideshows and music. From the engagement session to the unveiling of the wedding photos, everything has been fun and easy throughout the whole process. Go with Rod--it will be the best vendor decision you make! He was definitely my favorite vendor out of the 10 or so we dealt with (caterers, officiant, etc.) :D

My daughter wanted to do senior pictures at the beach earlier in the year, and we never did, so I decided to surprise her with a photo shoot while visiting.

My daughter and I LOVED that she asked questions about HER specific interests, likes (music, hobbies, etc.) in ordered to "know" her in advance and make her session the best it can be!

That meant so much to us. We'll cherish these photos for the rest of our lives and look forward to revisiting them for years to come.
