Everything felt organized and stress-free. Our photographer, Lauren, was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process, from our engagement session all the way through our wedding day. On the wedding day, I was running a little behind schedule, and instead of adding to the stress, Lauren brought such a calm, positive energy. She helped me feel relaxed and present, and I truly appreciated how patient and reassuring she was. When we received our photos, we were blown away. We absolutely love every single one. Lauren's style is exactly what we were hoping for--timeless, natural, and beautiful. She captured so many special moments that we'll cherish forever. We can't recommend Burgundy and Blue enough. The entire experience exceeded our expectations, and we're so grateful to Ryan and Lauren for helping preserve such an important day so perfectly!

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.

My husband Cody and I worked with Emily to capture our elopement at the Santa Barbara Courthouse…read more Emily is amazing to work with! She is very approachable and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We are not professional models, but Emily made us feel like we were! She is super friendly and made the photoshoot experience really fun. She helped us pose and look our best. She also knew the courthouse grounds well which was helpful to us as we came from out of state. We are very happy with our photos! It's hard to choose our favorites because we love them all! It was important to us to capture the details of our day since it was just the two of us attending our civil ceremony. Our family is thrilled with the quality of the photos. We would recommend Emily for photography and hope to work with her again soon!

Matt B. and I just celebrated our first anniversary, so this review is really overdue. Michael and…read moreAnna Costa did a wonderful job capturing our wedding, and we will cherish our photos till death do us part. Matt first met the Costas when they photographed his best friend's wedding in Santa Barbara in 2008, and he remembered them when we started looking for photographers. His friends had hired the Costas' assistant, who cost considerably less, but when she quit, the Costas subbed in for her without any problems or raises in price. They took beautiful photos--we looked at them closely before making our decision. Another of Matt's friends from high school also ended up hiring the Costas after that wedding. When we hired our wedding planner, Ariel Yve (who is wonderful), she highly recommended the Costas. She said they did wonderful work for a fair price, and that they had photographed her wedding as well. We set up an interview with Michael and that was that. Everything had aligned. Michael took our engagement photos, and we got both Anna and Michael to shoot our wedding. The engagement photos were nice and awkward, but they turned out well, and they helped us get comfortable with Michael and his cameras. Michael and Anna are great people, very friendly and professional. They knew how to corral everyone for portraits, and to help me and Matt relax in front of the camera. I was advised before selecting wedding photographers that personality matters a lot--you probably spend more time with your photographers than with your closest friends and family on your wedding day. We felt at ease with the Costas. We took a million pictures on the wedding day, with Michael and Anna working hard from morning until well into the night. They captured everything, and our pictures came out beautifully. Our package came with full sets of both digital images and 4 x 6 prints in a custom box, as well as an album, two parent albums, and credit for larger prints of our choosing. It took us a while to get some of these things, but most of that was on our end. It's hard to pick your favorite pictures from an event as big and well covered as your own wedding. There were some problems with the website, but the Costas actually comped us extra prints to make up for them. All in all, great to work with. We went to another wedding in March, and were surprised to hear our names called out while we munched on hors d'oeuvres on a Pacific Palisades patio. We looked up and saw Anna Costa with her camera in hand. The couple, who had neither been to our wedding nor sought our advice, had hired our wedding photographers. I think the takeaway of this review is that everyone between L.A. and Santa Barbara is hiring the Costas, and that we all end up pretty pleased with that decision. If you're planning a wedding in Southern California, they should certainly be on your radar.

Wedding date: Sept. 15, 2024…read more Mayra was the all-star of our wedding vendors! From the moment we met her for our engagement shoot, she put us instantly at ease. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, offered great suggestions, and truly listened to what was important to us. One of our top priorities was capturing candid moments so we could stay present on our wedding day, and Mayra and her assistant did exactly that--beautifully and effortlessly. What truly set Mayra apart was her thoughtfulness and attention to detail. After our engagement shoot, we shared feedback about our favorite poses, and on our wedding day, she had those notes saved on her phone background so she wouldn't forget! That level of care made us feel like we were the only couple she was working with, even though we know she does countless weddings. Beyond her talent, Mayra brought so much warmth and fun to our day. She was always up for creative shots, made us laugh, and even captured amazing moments with our guests that we didn't expect. Her communication was fantastic from start to finish, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was behind the camera. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only insanely talented but also kind, professional, and a joy to work with, we can't recommend Mayra enough!
