I can't stop looking at them! We'll definitely be booking with Photography by Sherre again next year.

She was patient with our kids and knew how to get them to look at the camera. She took a variety of different groupings of people since there were 11 people. All of our photos turned out beautiful.

Where do I even begin?! Emily and her team have far exceeded my expectations of what a photography…read moreand videography service should be! Emily has gone above and beyond to capture the special moments of my now husband and I. I remember the first moment when I spoke with her, and from that one phone conversation, I knew that she and I would not only share the same vision for photography (how I would like my pictures to be captured and how she captures photographs), but also become friends!! our first phone conversation was about four months prior to the wedding, and I had not done anything to plan for it! I am a busy resident physician, and I also wanted to plan my own wedding, but I didn't know where to start! So on that day, in between me seeing patients, Emily and I had a really brief phone conversation, where she said three simple words, "I got you!" Since that fateful day, she has not given us a dream engagement photo shoot (at the very beach in which my husband, and I fell in love with in Malibu, the El Matador state Beach!) but also our very special moments on our special wedding day! In the middle of me getting pulled in different directions even on that wedding day... the minute she walked in with her team, I felt sense of calm and comfort, knowing that she was there to make sure that even though I couldn't remember everything that was happening that day because it was so busy, I trusted that she would be able to make sure I could remember those details later on in photographs! Aside from her warm heart and truly genuine personality, her work is fantastic! My husband and I have a very particular vision and preference for the type of photographs that we would like, and she fits that and more! If you look through her portfolio on her website or on her Instagram, you can see the brightness that she exuberance in her own personality onto her art. The way she captures the light is so unique, and she truly is the most talented photographer that I've ever come across. Therefore, I follow my gut and knew that she is the best of the best! I cannot wait until she continues to capture more delicate moments of our lives as I hope to continue to get to know her as well personally because she truly is one of the most special people on this universe!

My dad began researching photographers to capture our special day. Mily's work stood out and when reaching out we were met with kindness and knowledge. Not being from California we had an idea of where we wanted pictures but didn't know the logistics behind it. Mily kindly gave us some suggestions and recommended a location that she was familiar with and had the characteristics we were hoping for. Mily took pictures at our ceremony and at a second location afterwards. She was professional, warm, and worked her magic. The photos came out even more beautiful than we hoped for.

Lol…read more Searching and searching for somebody to take our engagement pictures, we stumbled upon JVaughn Photography on a popular website. We took a look at some of her work and were shocked to see how great and how exact her work was to what we were looking for. What was even more shocking to us was the price she was charging. We said "no this is too good to be true!" We looked and looked because we really were on a tight budget at the time and everyone else was just so much more expensive. We went ahead and contacted her asap because we really wanted to have our engagement session done on our Anniversary. She replied lightning fast! Any time we've needed to contact her she is always there and replies within a few minutes or hours. So come the day of, we were pretty nervous. We had never had professional picture taken of us so we had no idea how to act or pose or smile or anything! But man were we in good hands! Jerusha really helped us and knew exactly how to make us pose. Our location was at a really nice park and the natural light was there In abundance! She knew exactly were to make us stand to take advantage of the natural lighting. Besides her having a beautiful awesome camera to assist her, I want to say that her knowledge of lighting and posing is what made our pictures so perfect. I'm sure she could have even used her camera phone and made us look great! We were so happy with the end result! Our friends and family loved them and we got a ton of likes on social media. Lol We were so pleased that we decided to have her shoot at our wedding. We are anxious to see how great those come out too! If you want to have a great time and share some good laughs and receive some beautiful genuine professional pictures at the end of it, then you should definitely contact Jvaughn. You will be so happy with your end result.

If you want to re-live your big day over and over again years later, James is your guy! My wife and I had never done a professional photoshoot. Neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera. After interviewing 5 different photographers, we knew from our first conversation that James was the one. He is incredibly friendly, easy going, and knowledgeable. We agreed to do an engagement session, 1 location for 90mins to see if we'd be comfortable working with James. It couldn't have gone better. Initially, we were a bit stiff, but James gave us tips on how to act naturally, suggested poses and hand positions that made us feel and look relaxed. The time flew by and we actually ended up going to a second location with a wardrobe change. Overall, it was about 2 hours. James did not mind at all. In fact, he probably could've gone longer if the sun hadn't set on us! Our photos were edited and received in less than 2 weeks! James was kind enough to print a large poster and sign that shipped to our house in just a few days. He price matched any package/prints from other photographers. Having gone through our engagement session seamlessly, we hired James to shoot our wedding as well. He and an assistant were on site for 10 hours, tending to our every need and keeping us on our timeline. After our planned family/wedding party photos, we hardly even noticed them working as we proceeded with wedding events. After the wedding, we received many compliments on how great James was and several guests asked for his contact information. Within a couple of days, we received a preview of about 20 photos highlighting our big day. We were thrilled! Every important moment was captured so elegantly! The full magazine of photos was available for download in about 1 month. James then worked with us to print a high quality photo book for our coffee table. You can't go wrong with James--his high quality work and work ethic speak for themselves. There is no substitute for how easy and stress free he made us feel, so that we could truly enjoy ourselves knowing that he would capture every single moment candidly. Do not hesitate to hire James, it will be the best decision you will ever make.
