Not only is she a stellar photographer, but her warm and giving personality also extended to a sort of mentorship when I was becoming a photographer. I have always looked up to her ability to be calm, creative, and kind in fast paced environments. It's something I still struggle with in photography. As a person who is usually behind the camera, many of the photos I have of my children are without me in them. The ones I do have and love are almost all by Melissa. There aren't many people I can trust the way I trust her and I owe my family memories, and my career, all to her. She's the first person I check with when I have a referral and the first person I think of when I need anything personally. And she will always be. Can't imagine things any other way.

I selected True Photography to shoot my engagement photos and wedding day. We had Pauleen as our…read moremain photographer for the wedding, with Myro as the second photographer. Both Pauleen and Myro are incredibly talented and professional photographers. Pauleen helped make us feel entirely at ease in front of the camera with her directions and constantly hyping us up. On our wedding day, she knew all the best photo spots at our venue and was able to get us a wide variety of photos for our couple's portraits. Myro did a fantastic job getting photos of all our guests during the cocktail hour. We had several guests compliment how friendly he was and how many people he captured. In the background leading up to our wedding day, the True Photography team helped put a photography timeline that aligned with our wedding coordinator's timeline. This helped ensure we got all the photos needed included first looks, couple's portraits, family portraits, etc. No special moment was missed by the team throughout the wedding. From first looks to dancing at the end of the night, we the full story of our wedding day captured!

True team helped us create a thorough timeline while offering suggestions/clarification so we knew what to expect and see the vision! Alex, Sheryl, and Dillan were assigned as our wedding day True team! Alex kept us on track with getting important photos and staying within the timeline. Alex was clear on posing directions and had such a calm demeanor/communication style that helped me feel reassured. Sheryl was our second photographer who captured the best candids and fun moments (e.g. one of the groomsmen had his shirt off and I didn't know until we saw the photos! HAHA). Dillan was here, there, and everywhere to get the best angles for our first dance, games, and guest reactions. Looking at our photos, I'm floored with how beautiful they turned out! The wedding day came and went like a flash, but now we have sooo many photos to remind us of the happy and heartwarming moments from that day. Excited to see how the videos turn out! Highly recommend considering True Photography & Video!

On top of that, he sent us sneak peeks the very next day, which made us even more excited to see the full gallery. Throughout the experience, Shaun was professional, patient, experienced, and attentive to what we wanted. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured every special moment beautifully. If you're looking for someone who is passionate about their work, I can't recommend Shaun enough.

As a wedding coordinator, I'm always a little skeptical when working with new vendors because you never know what to expect in terms of professionalism, communication, and work ethic. Brandon exceeded every expectation. He was incredibly easy to work with, provided great direction during photos, and helped create a fun, relaxed atmosphere throughout the day. His sense of humor and lighthearted personality made the experience enjoyable for both the couple and the vendor team. From what I've seen on social media, his work is absolutely stunning, and I can't wait to see the full gallery from our event. I would confidently recommend Brandon to my clients and look forward to the opportunity to work with him again in the future.

I came to Ashley with not your typical request, I was pregnant and wanted her to capture the moment I told my husband he was going to be a daddy. Ashley's excitement about my request warmed my heart. I will forever be grateful to her for not only agreeing to be part of my surprise but also keeping my big secret. I couldn't be happier with the photos Ashely captured. Fast forward to June 2018 and we had the opportunity to shoot with Ashley again. She did a mini session with us for our little girls first birthday and also documenting my second pregnancy. Anyone who has a one year old knows how hard it can be to get them to sit still for anything especially photos but Ashley handled it like a champ. She got some amazing photos of our little girl that I'll cherish forever. We look forward to working with Ashley again!

Not only were the photos amazing and captured our love perfectly, but she kept our timetable on point and was super helpful with keeping the day on track. She's super fun and sweet and overall just great to work with. When I look back at my wedding photos it reminds me of what a special day it was.

She made the photo taking process so easy, even though my husband and I aren't big photo takers and is just a wonderful human who is so easy to work with. The next time we need any photos in the future I am definitely calling upon her. I'm at a loss for words for how happy I am with our photos, and just cannot recommend her enough.

She…read moreshot my brother's wedding back in 2013, and did an incredible job at his wedding that when it was my turn, I knew she would be ours too. My husband and I got married in July of 2018, and while Heather hadn't shot at our venue before, she came to our final detail meeting to scope out the location and do prework. She didn't have to do it, but it was another opportunity for us to meet in person too before the big day and go over the photos we wanted. Heather is incredibly professional and kind, yet also has the right around of direction to herd family for family photos! Getting 25 people in one photo is no small feat, but she is up to the task and makes you feel at ease. Throughout the day she was incredibly sweet, checking on us to make sure we were okay, but also giving us direction for when she found the perfect shot. Smiling hurts after a while! So when we were getting a bit tired she was flexible and made it work. She is helpful, dedicated and thoughtful which made her such a joy to work with. Not to mention, the photos turned out AMAZING. We have had so many compliments from family and friends; they are all obsessed with them! We are too, of course :) We loved working with you, Heather!

We're not from the area, and we didn't expect to be stuck in traffic for 2.5 hours longer than we had planned. :( But like I said, she was sooo gracious in offering up her personal time to do our photo shoot the next morning, and the pictures are amazing. Love how she captures the light in the photos, and she was great at putting all of us (me, husband, and our two boys - 7yo and 4.5yo) at ease. Would highly recommend her for families in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area or anyone passing through, but I would not recommend trying to book with her on a travel day. :D Give yourself extra, extra time to get through that LA traffic!
