Wonderful photography by Paul. The photos turned out so beautifully and we very happy with how they came out. We booked my maternity shoot at 31 week pregnant and our location off the road at a river/hike was near the start to Mt. Baldy. Paul chose the best spot and was a perfect vibe for us cause we are nature, down to earth people. We did about 1.5 session exploring the area on the hike and near the river. Paul was a great guidance in getting us in a photogenic position and to be happy. I believe he captured our joy and happiness in the photos. He had such an eye for detail and color. We had a great experience with Paul and forever grateful for capturing a beautiful moment our first baby pregnancy. read more

Paul and Leanne are SO TALENTED and a JOY to work with. We hired them to photograph our wedding and we'll be hiring them again for future shoots, that's for sure. Their talent and eye for shots is incredible; I still can't believe how some of our photographs turned out. He turned a very shy, introverted woman into a model! He and Leanne know how to direct you to make you LOOK GOOD. We had a very long day, with an early morning wedding ceremony, followed by family portraits, then off-location wedding party shots, and a nearly 6-hour evening reception. They both were with us from the moment we got ready to the very end and their enthusiasm, professionalism, and creativity NEVER WANED. read more

We cannot praise Paul enough! He did an amazing job with our mini engagement shoot and for our wedding! He knows how to make you laugh naturally and have fun while taking pictures. We told Paul about our style and he was right on board. For our wedding night we did not want to get stuck taking posed pictures all night so requested to do a few posed pictures then just have candid shots the rest of the night. We have seen a preview of the photos and we are in love! There is no doubt that we will be asking Paul to help document other important milestones in our lives. We have had a lot of people ask about the Sargeants since they enjoyed Paul's photography style. Paul was also great in recommending Noah Prince as our videographer and we are so happy we listened to his recommendation! read more

Sargeant Creative - Event Photography Near Me

We hired Paul for our intimate civil ceremony by the beach. We were so happy with his services and well, his personality in general. He was such a pleasure to work with and being such a small gathering he really contributed to the vibe to help make our day a fun and memorable one. We've also received some of the teasers and we couldn't be happier with the quality of the photos. He really knows how to capture the moment and his composition is amazing. The photos were filled with warmth and life whereas other photographers we researched seemed more stiff and superficial. Thank you, Paul! We will definitely be in touch for future shoots! read more

This dynamic duo can give you the best photos for your special event. They do weddings, engagements, boudoir, abstract, and even catalog photographs. Their style is unique and beautiful, both in color and in black and white. Very sweet and loving people that will help you get the photo memories of your special day or event. I did a boudoir shoot with them and you usually get about 40 or so good shots from the shoot. I was able to find so many more good shots that I loved and they even gave me the raw images so that I can play with them on my own. They are very professional and overall great in all styles of photography! read more

Paul and Leanne are the Best of the Best!!! We hired the dynamic duo to do our engagement and wedding photography, and we couldn't be more thankful. They have such a good eye for things and I love that they are a husband and wife team. They give very good direction since most of us aren't models. Lol. We received our photos recently and both my husband and I were blown away with how amazing they came out. They are the most down to earth people to work with and you will be blown away by how fun they make everything! They r not only just amazing photographers but they r genuinely good people as well. :) TIPS: talk about beer and gardening lol. It is impossible to not be 200% satisfied with their work! read more

I can not begin to explain how lucky my wife and I were to find Paul and Leanne. After looking at different photographers portfolios we came across theirs and were blown away by their sense of capturing the story of a wedding. We met with the two of them and told them some of the ideas we had and they were very receptive to bringing those ideas to life. (As if being a great photographer and person, Paul is a fantastic brewer as well) They are incredibly organized and laid out all the expectations and dates in their contract. We have been more and more impressed with each aspect of our wedding package. They do a fantastic mix of color and black and white, staged and candid photos. We were able to get our family pictures and portraits without feeling like we missed out on the whole festivities of the day or feeling like we were rushed. Paul and Leanne were incredibly easy and fun to work with, they spent time with both parties getting ready and capturing the whole day's events. We also just received our photo album and the entire production and quality of the book is something that I know we will cherish for our entire lives. We'll soon by having a photoshoot for our new born and can not wait for them to capture our squishy little man! read more

Leanne and Paul Sargeant went above and beyond to capture our wedding in such a beautiful way. They were such a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. They are such honest and good people, being around them is so wonderful, and the love they share for each other is inspiring. We just had them shoot our wedding and I am certain that they knocked it out of the park. They sent over a few preview photos the very next day and they were AMAZING! Two amazing human beings and artists, I feel so lucky to have found them! I would absolutely recommend them to every bride and groom!!!! read more

For our wedding photos (from late november 2014), Sargeant Creative elicited the freshest energy and most relaxed smiles from me and my husband, as well as from our diverse sets of family and friends. The Sargeants pour their energy and passion for art into everything they do as photojournalists, and you can see that they really do want to "tell a story" in all the secret moments, the hidden angles, and the nuanced facial expressions that they capture from that day. When our official wedding photos first came out, our closest friends and family were enraptured. "These are amazing" was a common remark. because Sargeant Creative is amazing! read more

Hands down, best photographers ever! We got engaged on Jan.1 & called Paul on Jan.2 to see if he was available, "sometime in 2014." We didn't have a wedding date yet, but wanted to make sure we had the best photographers when we did finally set one. Luckily for us, Paul and Leanne were available when we did figure out our wedding day! I work in the wedding industry, as a DJ, and work with hundreds of great photographers, but there is something special about Paul & Leanne. They have such a unique vibe and vision to their craft. They find a way to keep the shots creative and distinct, but at the same time making it fun! Our engagement session was awesome & our wedding photos were absolutely incredible! Our guests were amazed at the pics & we have been complimented numerous times for our amazing photographers Aside from their talent, they are such great people. They are very positive, friendly, and personable. You can tell they love what they do & even get down on the dance floor! We could not have been happier with Sargeant Creative & we already had the bar set pretty high for them, but they managed to exceed expectations. Thanks again guys, you made our day perfect! read more

My wife found and got in touch with Leanne for our first official/professional photo shoot. After emailing back and forth for quotes, location suggestions, etc., etc., it was clear we had to use Leanne. Nothing but great things to say about the professionalism, creativity and quality we expereinced. We had to reschedule our original date due to family reasons and it was no problem. The real test that proved how awesome Leanne and Paul are is how well they dealt with my three year old twin daughters. The kids absolutely loved Leanne and Paul; especially since Paul is a twin himself! I highly recommend Sargeant Photography. Absolutely amazing! Totally looking forward to the next shoot! read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for Paul and Leanne yet! They are amazing. They haven't just been our photographers, but they have become good friends. They photographed our wedding (in 2007) and maternity photos (2014). My husband and I met them as they were just starting to get "big". Their work keeps getting better, if that is even possible. I have evened hired them to do professional photography for my business. They are real masters at their craft and very creative to boot! I highly recommend them for any of your photography needs. You will not be disappointed. They are very professional and competitively priced. They always have been prompt when responding to email. Leanne has a very keen eye for finding the best location, right lighting and ambiance for a picture. I can't wait for them to take pictures of our little boy! read more

Try telling Paul and Leanne that their photography is great and that they have a real knack for it, and you'll only be met with smiles and modesty. This photog duo is one of a kind, professional, friendly and fun. They were the photographers at a friends' wedding and I have to tell you, do a wonderful job. You hardly realize they're there and they get some of the best shots I've ever seen of wedding photographers. I observed that they don't try to run the show as many photographers can tend to do, but rather float around on the edges. That seems most important on the most important day of someone's life. read more

We hired Paul and Leanne for our wedding about a year ago. They were friendly, professional, and most importantly, produced fabulous pictures for both our engagement session and the wedding. They were willing to make many adjustments to accomodate our wishes. Even better, they were very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for wedding photographers. read more

I was absolutely blown away by Paul and Leanne. Wonderful people who do everything above any beyond. These two are both wonderfully talented and extremely sweet. They captured my wedding so beautifully, from the big tear jerker moments, to the subtle quiet moments, to the small details that I will cherish forever. All my wedding guests complimented me on the very kind and pleasant photographers. I am so SO pleased! I have so many GORGEOUS and artistic photos of the best day of my life. They even were mindful of things like not getting ugly stuff (like trash accidentally left on a counter etc.) into the shot! So thoughtful! I cannot praise them highly enough. True artists with beautiful hearts. read more

My husband and I were referred to Sargeant Creative for our maternity photos from a friend of mine. The friend used her for her wedding and she and I both shared how we're not fond of super posed, traditional photos that look the same as everyone else's. I wanted something realistic, artistic and beautiful so my friend recommended Sargeant Creative. Leanne came to our house and had so many great ideas. She's really nice and easy to work with... really made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We were so pleased with the results that we invited her back once the baby was born. I'm hoping to book a session for holiday photos and I want her to come out for his first birthday party too. read more

What can I say..Paul and LeAnne were simply amazing. They are beyond talented; and more importantly nice people. We were so excited for them to photograph our wedding! They even manage to help my super quiet groom break out of his shell. This was by far the most important purchase I made for our wedding; and I have no regrets! That were the best!! read more

Great photographers! They photographed our wedding. The photo quality is amazing, and they were a pleasure to work with. Totally recommend.

Paul and Leanne did our wedding and engagement photo shoot. They met with us several times to talk about out our ideas. On the big day Leanne did a fantastic job photographing my wife and the girls while Paul made me and my groomsmen feel normal and wasnt having us to funky poses. The ultimate result was perfection. I cant say how happy i feel knowing the extra money we paid for a great photographer was well worth it. read more

My husband and I were extremely fortunate to have Paul & Leanne capture our special day. They are extremely talented at what they do and are such great people to have around. Having them around on our wedding day made it that much more special! They take amazing photographs and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for an amazing photography team. You can't go wrong with Sargeant Photography! read more

Amazing can sum up the work of Paul and Leanne. They are a wonderful team who are beyond talented. They photographed our wedding and captured the day. Their work doesn't produce pictures they produce memories. When you look at their work you are brought back to every detail of that day! Wouldn't go any where else! read more

I had the pleasure of seeing these two amazing people work last weekend at a wedding in Carlsbad. Their chemistry is amazing, not to mention the images they capture are remarkable. They look for, and seize, amazing photo opportunities using natural light as well as introducing a variety of cameras, lenses, and angles - all while making their subjects feel so relaxed and natural. Cheers guys - hope to use you sometime in the future!! read more

This team is amazing! They are sooooo great to work with! I was recommended to them by my sister, and after meeting them and seeing her pics I booked them for my wedding......best thing I ever did ;) read more

Paul and Leanne are AMAZING. We hired them for our wedding and engagement photos this past year. Neither my husband or I are particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but both Paul and Leanne changed that. They captured the best versions of us, and the day as a whole. I am so happy with the photos, and the overall experience of working with them. They are so fun and make such a great team. They seriously went above and beyond for us, and I am so grateful we found them!! We will definitely hire with them again for other special occasions in our life, and we cannot wait. read more

Paul and Leanne are HANDS DOWN the best wedding photographers out there. Beyond that, they are two of the nicest human beings we have ever met. We feel incredibly fortunate that this amazing team captured our special day. The results were truly stunning, and we could not have asked for more. They captured REAL moments...moments we didn't even realize a lenses was pointed our way... moments that we will forever cherish (and have the photographs to prove it)! Pure excellence. read more

For most brides, their wedding day was the best day of their life. Me? I wish I loved it more at the time. Instead, I was an anxiety-stricken stressball of a gal, too focused on making sure everyone else was enjoying themselves to enjoy myself much at all. Which is why I'm endlessly, incredibly grateful for the GORGEOUS work of Paul and Leanne. Looking through photos of my wedding day not only makes me happy -- all that planning up to the big day paid off! -- but helps to combat any regrets I have about not enjoying it more. The photos aren't just gorgeous -- they help capture moments that I didn't see with our guests, plus a presence of mind between my husband and I that I didn't always feel moment-to-moment that day. If you're going to do one thing for yourself on your wedding day, hire Paul and Leanne. Their work more than stands the test of time. Their photos can actually improve your memories over time! read more

Paul & Leanne photographed us for our wedding over a year ago... so this review is long overdue. First off, my husband and I are really non-photogenic and awkward in front of cameras. When the big day came, Paul and Leanne managed to capture some amazing shots without being noticed (except when necessary, which was for the big group shots - and they got our rowdy guests' attention expertly!). Of course, we REALLY knew they were talented when we got our wedding album. The design, the quality of the book, and the great images that were captured had made it worth every penny. We LOVE our book and our talented photographers who put it all together! read more

Paul and Leanne photographed our July 31st wedding and we could not be happier with the results. Our photographs are stunning and timeless. They far exceeded even my particular and unusually high expectations. They made us feel and look better then we ever have. They captured every detail of our special day in such a way that we will be able to treasure it forever. Everyone that has seen our photographs is blown away by how beautiful they are. They came up with creative and unique shots, angeles, and props that made our photographs stand out from all the others we have seen. Hiring Paul and Leanne was the best and most important decision we made in all of our wedding planning. Not only are they talented photographers, they are wonderful people. They are always professional but also easy to work with and fun to be around. They are two of the most creative and talented people I have ever met. I can not say enough positive things about them. I would recommend them to anyone! read more

The Sargeant's are amazing photographers. We used them for our wedding last year and I have to say that it was the best decision ever. Their photos were amazing and creative. They completely understood what sort of feel we wanted from our photography on that day. As a team they are the nicest people to work with and I am so thankful to have found them!! read more

Sargeant Photography, Paul and Leanne, are so cool and so good at their trade. They photographed our daughter's wedding in San Francisco. and it was amazing - couldn't have been any better. Lots of our family and friends and they were included in the group. Very cool. And generous and just the best. Thanks. read more
