She was organized and efficient, and she knew exactly what needed to be done, which helped keep everything running smoothly without feeling rushed or stressed. We were sent a booklet detailing all the steps and the planning process, which made it so easy! From the moment we met the team, they felt more like friends by our side than a company we had hired. They helped us feel comfortable, relaxed, and fully present throughout our wedding day while quietly capturing everything behind the scenes. The final photos and videos are incredible. They captured every emotion, detail, and special moment so beautifully that we can relive our wedding day each time we look at them. We could not be happier with the results and are deeply grateful for the memories they preserved. We highly recommend Astray Photography/Videography to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and down-to-earth team.

From the moment we first had our call with Brittney, we knew right away that we wanted her to be…read morethe one to capture the moments of our wedding day. Though her work online already speaks for how talented she and her team are, some of the most important things that really drew us in were how kind she was, how creative she was, and how she had an answer or idea for everything we wanted and envisioned. As we reflected on our wedding day, we found ourselves constantly talking about how impressed we were with how Brittney supported us through our day, and really paid attention to the vibe we described in our meetings leading up to the day. She provides great resources so that she can get to know you and your spouse, and it's so evident on the day of the event how deeply she takes those details into mind when being present for the day, and even after while curating the final photos! We really felt like she helped create an environment that helped us live in the moment, and it was so special to us. Another thing that really attracted us to her work is how you can feel the essence of each couple she photographs, simply through these images, and we felt that way tenfold when we saw our own photos! She truly was such a joy and so much fun to work with! We just felt like we could be ourselves, and she fed a lot of positive and calming energy into our already fun/chaotic group. She's a wonderful communicator and amazing artist, and you can tell she loves what she does. Thank you for being there for our special day and seriously 11/10 would recommend over and over again!

This isn't our first session with her, and let me tell you, it certainly won't be our last! From the moment we stepped in front of her lens, she was so warm, patience, and genuinely kind. Schaelynne has this incredible way of making you feel like the most beautiful, confident version of yourself. With her reassuring demeanor and amazing guidance, any pre-shoot nerves melted away in an instant. She knows exactly how to capture those candid moments that truly reflect the essence of who you are as a couple / family all while ensuring you feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. The photos, absolutely breathtaking. Each shot was a testament to her skill and dedication to her craft. We couldn't be happier with how they turned out! We've already scheduled another shoot in early June for our anniversary!

She has such a natural talent for creating the most natural/candid moments and the way she does it is by being a genuinely kind/fun person to be around. I'm definitely someone who does not feel super comfortable in front of a camera, but Schaelynne lets you forget all of that and lean into that playful/fun energy that can emerge when you just feel comfortable with your partner. And her turnaround time is insane, she is a MACHINE. She sent 300+ sneak peaks only a few days after the wedding, including editing out a bunch of people on the beach for our romantic shots. Cannot recommend her enough!!!

An absolute gem of a photographer -- and an even more incredible human…read more From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Not only did you capture our wedding day with such talent, intention, and beauty, but you brought a warmth and calm that made the entire experience feel effortless. Every photo feels alive -- the emotions, the laughter, the little moments we didn't even notice. Pauleen has a unique gift, and we're so grateful she shared it with us. But beyond her work, what truly sets her apart is *who she is*. the kind of person who shows up for friends and family without hesitation, who helps quietly and wholeheartedly in moments when it matters most. Her love for animals, her compassion, and the way she stand up against inequality and injustice all speak to a character that's rare and deeply admirable. We feel so lucky that someone with her talent and heart was part of our day. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you for giving us memories we'll treasure for a lifetime.

She brought such a fun, lively energy to our big day and made everyone feel instantly comfortable. I'm not someone who naturally knows how to pose or what to do in photos, but Pauleen guided me through everything from simple poses to natural expressions and made it all feel effortless. She captured our best moments beautifully. Every shot looks vibrant, emotional, and genuine. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and it shows in the quality of her work and the way she interacts with people. Professional, talented, warm, and full of positive energy, Pauleen is the best. I highly, highly recommend her for your wedding or any special event. You won't regret it!

I just got to see my engagement photos from Marissa and Jojo today and I feel like doing cartwheels…read more(except I've never been able to do cartwheels, so that ain't gonna happen). Point is, I love them. They captured the best of my relationship with my fiance just like I knew they would. I looked at a lot of San Diego wedding photographers before asking the Felicianos to do our engagement shoot, and I chose them because their work is not only beautiful and of obvious quality, but they have a magic in capturing expression and emotion. They also are more creative with their engagement shoots than any other photographer I've seen, using extraordinary composition and movement. It really sets them apart, and as a dabbling photographer and artist myself, I appreciate that extra level of creativity. And they are so fun to work with! My fiance and I were so nervous about having our pictures taken that we downed a couple mini bottles of champagne beforehand, but we needn't have worried. We didn't look tense at all - because we weren't! And it wasn't just because of the champagne. ;)

After looking at hundreds of websites and meeting with handfuls of photographers I finally met Marissa and Jo and knew they were a perfect fit. Not only are these two photographers amazingly talented and skilled at their craft, they are genuinely fun people. They make you SOOOOO Comfortable that you forget they are even there. They are the kind of people you would want to hang out with even if they weren't working. I honestly cannot say enough good things about Felici and recommend EVERYONE to check them out. Three of my friends have already booked them and I pass out their card to everyone I know who is getting married. I could go on forever about their goodness, but I will let other yelpers join in...

I promise you won't regret the results!!!She is better than any psychologist who will help you see yourself through her lens in a completely different light. You can use her services and book a surprise photo shoot for your loved one for any occasion: memories are made with each moment saved, right? I've done multiple photoshoots throughout my life & this one most definitely stands out as one of the most fun & pleasant experiences:) I simply cannot recommend her enough & looking forward to working with Svetlana in the future!!!

Oh boy, the day our images got published, we were flooded with tens of emails, phone calls, IMs etc. We never ever received so many compliments from both friends and complete strangers! Our friends were saying that we were depicted in most favorable while absolutely realistic way. At the same time, the strangers' reaction was absolutely stunning! We strongly recommended B.P.S. to many friends, coworkers and relatives who want to capture images of themselves for their children, grand-kids and great-grandkids... Second, we were fascinated by Sveta's creativity with our project to photograph aging relatives for our daughter's future wedding album. Sveta went extra miles, even, more, to capture eye expressions of the grandmother touched by the news about her granddaughter's upcoming wedding. B Portrait Studio is the absolutely right choice for shooting portraits that create long lasting memories. Sveta is a true professional when it comes to both men's and women's portraits of highest quality.

We made the decision…read moreimmediately after seeing a wedding album filled with her work, along side those of other "preferred" photographers. We're so glad we did! Not only were our wedding photos amazing, but our wedding album is truly a work of art. Sara's an amazing photographer, and she's subsequently shot some maternity photos, and photos of our newborn daughter. Every picture she's taken has become an instant family heirloom. Nothing wedding-related is ever cheap, and Sara's no exception, but the way we looked at it, it doesn't matter how much you spend, if you don't hire a photographer to capture those memories. Looking back at our wedding photos instantly takes us back to that day, and all the fun we had. I know we made the right investment. She's fun to work with, and she's got an amazing eye. My wife has since become a wedding coordinator, and she recommends Sara every chance she gets.

Hiring Sara to photograph our wedding was probably one of the best decisions that we made about our…read morebig day. Future Yelping brides and grooms, if you are looking for a photographer, look no further, she's the best. Just a little background about our experience with Sara. We actually met her about 9 months before our wedding, and we loved her. We had just started looking at photographers, and we didn't know what the going rate was, so we got a card and kept looking. We found a husband and wife photographer for less money and booked them, however we soon realize that you get what you pay for. Long story short, we asked Sara if she was still available on our wedding day, and lucky for us she was, so we booked her and fired our original photographer. Did I already say this was the best decision that we could have made??? Sara and Jessica (her studio manager), were such a pleasure to deal with. My wife and I were pretty clueless regarding poses, lighting, and other technical photography stuff, so we told them to take charge, pose us, and make us look good. Everybody in our wedding party told us how awesome they were to work with. We just got our pictures back this week, and wow...they far exceeded our expectations. We cannot thank Sara and Jessica enough for their excellent work. Yelpers, please learn from our experience, and take the time to research your photographer, and when you do you will realize that Sara is the best. Don't cheap out on these pictures, they will be with you for a lifetime.
