    I think Cassandra's work speaks for itself- she captures all the gorgeous natural settings of…read morenorther California coastline and surrounding areas, and also seems to find a wind range of raw human emotions which present themselves on one's wedding day- both were things I would like to remember from my wedding day. Also, I know she must post-edit her images, but it's nothing too over-the top, everything looks very natural. What you don't see in her portfolio is how it is to work with her. She is extremely warm yet professional. For my elopement not only was she able to recommend a wonderful officiant and florist- and picked up the flowers the morning of! she really went above and beyond for her sense of adventure. She was with us the entire action-packed day starting with a walk in the redwoods, a picknick at a winery and even went out on a kayak with us as we free-dove the kelp and explored some other features of the coast. What a great sport! I doubt many photographers would do that, on top of having great skills. I can't thank her enough for helping us our special day, and for capturing it all so well. I look back on our photos nearly daily to remember it.

    Cassandra is an absolute PRO and we couldn't have been happier both in preparation for the event…read moreand execution at the wedding. She was easy to work with, invisible yet taking gorgeous shots and wow does she know the exact right spots and time of day to shoot in Mendocino and especially the Cypress Grove. She's also a great time keeper who kept us on our toes so we got the right shots. Our photos are gorgeous. Highly recommend!

    Anne-Claire shot our engagement and wedding photos, and we couldn't recommend her more highly. My…read morehusband is a filmmaker and dabbles in photography, so we knew that photography was going to be an important investment for us. Of all the portfolios we looked at (and we looked at MANY), Anne-Claire's was the only one that fit the style and attention to detail we were looking for, and working with her did not disappoint. All of our photos came out STUNNING, and she made absolute magic out of our couple portraits, which had to be taken entirely indoors due to the pouring rain the night of our wedding. She has such a good eye for light and framing, it was hard to narrow down favorites from either shoot because we loved SO MANY of our photos! We also really loved her style of shooting - she knew how to capture all the right moments at exactly the right times, but you otherwise didn't notice her unless necessary (like when shooting our family portraits). Anne-Claire was super responsive over email, very thorough in her shot planning before the wedding, and we'd jump at the chance to work with her again. Absolutely worth the investment for the beauty she captured in this huge milestone of our lives.

    Anne-Claire is an incredible photographer and an all-around amazing person to work with. My wife…read moreand I were a bit nervous when hiring a photographer, since whoever you hire only gets one chance to capture such an important event. We felt so reassured after our initial talk with Anne-Claire when she explained her philosophy of capturing authentic emotions, human connection, and sense memories. These things really set her apart from your average wedding photographer; we know that years from now when we look through these photos, we won't just remember the events of the day, but also how we felt. Since we've started sharing our photos with people, we have been hearing nonstop praise about the quality of the photos. We highly recommend Anne-Claire - if you're looking for a photographer who will not just capture an event but also create incredible art, she's your person!

    I reached out to Joyce VERY shortly before our yearly family vacation to Caspar…read more(Mendocino/FortBragg area.) I am so lucky she was able to squeeze us in! Her communication throughout the whole process was wonderful. It was my parent's 49th wedding anniversary while we were there. I wanted all of us to have some beautiful images at our favorite place with our favorite people. Joyce really nailed it. The weather was awful!! Foggy, cold, and windy, but she was very accommodating and able to pick the best time to create the images I wanted. We were able to go to different locations and she was great about knowing which areas would make amazing pictures. They were spots I would never have thought to choose, but they are some of my favorites! We got all the posed photos that I requested and then some. We also got many beautiful pictures that were more natural and showed some of our silliness. It was really helpful when she would instruct us on how we were standing, how to position our arms, have us turn our faces so the light was correct, etc.. All and all it was a fantastic experience creating an ocean family photo session. All of us got everything we wanted. Some of the candid type photos resonate with certain people. The pictures of my dad kissing my mom on the cheek like he always does are just classic. I got the posed picture of all 10 of us on the beach that was my inspiration for the whole thing. We got a picture for one of the little girls with her parents that are not a couple. I think having that will be priceless to her.

    When we discovered Mendocino, we knew its where we wanted to have our elopement. The magic of the…read moreredwoods, the oceanside cliffs, and the beaches all lured us in, but we had no idea where to start. As we did research, we found Joyce. She was easy to communicate with, highly knowledgable of the area and had all the recommendations we could ask for to help us in choosing all sorts of things: officiants, florists, dining, things to do, etc. She even chatted with me when I was choosing my gown about how it may look in the photos depending on which one I went with. Ultimately, we shared photos of what we loved in Joyce's work, and handed her full creative freedom to lead us where felt right. She was careful to have us as we naturally were, she didn't pose us one time (which made me nervous during the shoot!). In the end, we couldn't be more grateful for the vision she brought to life. Our wedding day was captured so gorgeously; every shot is a love letter to our day -- luminous, timeless, majestic. Here are some quotes from friends who reached out after seeing the photos: "Congratulations! Wow, these pictures are amazing! You look like an ethereal princess" "The photos look like you're in a fairytale!" "Absolutely stunning." Thank you Joyce, for your dedication to your craft.

    We hired Dustin Cantrell to be our photographer for our wedding in San Gregorio, CA on March 19,…read more2022 at the recommendation of our wedding venue. Dustin was friendly, responsive and easy to work with. He provided us helpful advice and guidance throughout the process. On the day of our wedding, Dustin was everywhere we looked, snapping photos left and right. He did a great job capturing most of the photos we requested. Our wedding party like working with him, especially since he worked quickly and was professional. He even went up on a ladder and captured a fantastic photo of all our wedding guests, which was a unique photo we really wanted to have. We received over 800 photos (in both color and black and white) from Dustin a little less than three weeks after our wedding, which was a way faster turnaround time than we expected. He mailed the photos to us on a flash drive and also provided us a link where we could access all the photos online. Dustin captured every moment of our wedding, including the wedding party getting ready, our first look, the ceremony, the cocktail hour, the reception dinner and dancing! He also captured great photos of the wedding venue, including our ceremony site and our beautifully decorated reception hall. The quality of the pictures Dustin took were fantastic. The colors in the photos were so vivid. Dustin is especially an expert at capturing photos of nature, which was important since our ceremony was in a Redwood Tree Grove. We were impressed by all the angles and perspectives of the photos he took at our ceremony. Also, Dustin took great candid photos of our guests' facial expressions, which confirmed for us just how much fun everyone had. We highly recommend hiring Dustin for your future wedding and events.
