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.

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.

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.

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!

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 chose Joyce because we loved her journalistic style and the way her photos captured not just the…read morecouple, but also the landscape, atmosphere, and emotion of each moment. We were married in Mendocino in August 2025, with a small, intimate ceremony that included just my husband's kids. From the start, we wanted a photographer who could beautifully capture the casual, candid moments of our family walking to the bluffs and exploring the charming streets of the village -- and Joyce did exactly that. Her photos were everything we hoped for -- natural, artistic, and full of feeling. Many of our friends said the images looked like they came straight out of a magazine spread, and we completely agree. Looking through our gallery takes me right back to each special moment: a whisper in my husband's ear, laughter during our ceremony, and the joy of walking down Main Street toward the ocean cliffs where we said our vows. Working with Joyce was effortless. She made us feel comfortable, offered great direction, and understood what was most meaningful to us. She perfectly balanced our desire for wide, scenic shots with her recommendation for close-ups and traditional portraits, which we're now so grateful to have. The blend of sharp detail with softly blurred backgrounds gives every image a timeless quality. I would recommend Joyce wholeheartedly to any couple looking for a photographer who can capture not just how your day looked, but how it felt. We're already looking forward to working with her again for a future family photo session.

She is prompt, friendly, super good at her job, organized, effective, and responsive! We had a couple wrinkles in our wedding back in August of 2021 where we were unable to get ready onsite due to Covid-19 restrictions & being behind schedule due to a hairdresser malfunction, but Amy was gracious enough to add in another location for getting ready photos & then drive to our venue to capture the rest of our day. Not only are our photos STUNNING, but I felt so relaxed and confident in Amy and her second shooter to capture all of the moments and things I wanted. She sent over a list asking me for any MUST have shots and groups of family members a week or two before the wedding that we wanted to ensure we got pictures with and went down the list during cocktail hour to check them off one by one. She also got wonderful photos of our guests enjoying themselves on the dance floor which is exactly what I wanted. I can't recommend Amy enough!

Anyone who knows me knows that I hate the camera and pictures but she just has a way of making you feel at ease. She is also amazing with children and was able to get our young daughter who is extremely shy with new people to cooperate with professional pictures. And now that we have 2 girls and have done pictures a few times both girls love her and look forward to pictures with her! She works really hard to make sure that the pictures she has taken are up to our standards and is very accommodating in regards to the editing and viewing of the proofs portion of the sessions as well. It is obvious that she truly cares about the work she is doing and the overall satisfaction her clients have with her work and for this reason, and all of the others, we will continue to use Amy for pictures for our family!
