Megan was willing to meet up with us before we even decided to utilize her as our photographer. She came to meet us at a location of our choosing so we had an opportunity to get to know her. She has a fun, energetic personality and made us feel relaxed and like she would be a great fit on our special day. Periodically there were some occasions where there was a disconnect with the communication but when it came time for things to happen Megan was available. We wanted to have some graffiti art for our engagement shoot and although Megan hadn't utilized graffiti art before she was more than willing to look into this and found some amazing areas for us to visit for our engagement pictures! On our wedding day she actually arrived to the house before the bridal party and just hung out with the woman there. I heard nothing but compliments about how professional and personable she was from everyone who met her. She hung out with the ladies and fit right in with the group. My mother is already trying to plan another wedding so that she can hand out with Megan again! And of course all of her pictures were fabulous!

Hello, We hired you…read moreto take our family photos at the end of July, and it has now been over two and a half months without receiving our photos or any update regarding them. I have made several attempts to contact you by phone, voicemail, email, messages through Airbnb, and through your website, but I have not received a response. At this point, I am extremely disappointed with the lack of communication. These family photos are very important to us, and we paid for a service with the expectation that our photographs would be delivered within a reasonable amount of time. I would much rather resolve this directly and simply receive the family photos we have been waiting for. Thank you, Felicia J

It encapsulated all the feelings we had on the day. Highly recommend these guys!

We hired Sara France to photograph our wedding a little over five years ago. 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.

First, our engagement shoot with Weston was such a comfortable experience. My fiancé nor I are…read moregreat at taking photos, not to mention taking photos together. Weston took his time, worked with us to get comfortable, and taught us how to bring our most natural selves to our photos! He was also the primary shooter for our wedding and there are so many special moments captured. There was a great balance between the orchestrated shots of family, details, ceremony, and many of the small moments between ourselves and our guests. Videography was also beautiful and watch the videos a few times a month! The videos really capture the energy and sentiment of our wedding. Communication was really smooth and the whole team are really professionals. You do pay a more premium price but we can say, when it comes to Clove & Kin, you will not be disappointed. They really put time and care into every step from engagement shoot to the wedding and beyond! Even the conversations over email and phone for administrative tasks were encouraging and positive! For examples, check out their blog! https://cloveandkin.com/the-lodge-at-torrey-pines-wedding-ben-arianne/ Thanks so much to the whole team! Special shout out again to Weston, Erin, and Katie!

Before we started our search for any other vendors, I started looking for our wedding photographer…read morebecause I knew it might take a while to find the right fit. Fortunately, the instant I called Clove & Kin and spoke with Kelsey, I knew we had found the right fit. Weston, Kelsey, and the entire Clove & Kin team were a dream to work with - from our engagement photo session (which turned out absolutely beautiful) to the multiple covid-related postponements to our wedding in November 2021, I couldn't have asked for better people to work with. On the day of the wedding, both Weston and Jamie were amazing. We worked with them ahead of time to note which pictures were most important to us (such a life-saver on the actual day!) and they were amazing about sticking to the list. But my favorite pictures are the candid ones that they took. I don't know how they captured so many moments so beautifully, but looking through the full albums brings everything from that day back to life. I also loved that they captured so many of the little details. The quality, composition, and editing of the photos are exactly what I had dreamed of. After our wedding, we went in for the photo design session. Erin was so much fun to work with, she made the session feel so much fun and was so helpful with walking us through the various design options. I would absolutely recommend getting the professional photo album through them - my husband and I are just amazed at how stunning it is every time we look through it (as are our families!) Overall, I cannot recommend Clove & Kin enough!

Her talent and the talent of her team is unrivaled.

Photography was our highest priority and the first vendor we booked for our wedding. We searched for months, in Southern and Northern California, looking for a photographer that had just the right combination of photojournalism/contemporary/simplicity and are so happy that we came across Melissa's work. Our wedding was held in Sonoma and Melissa worked with us from San Diego to make sure everything was taken care of before, the day of, and after the wedding. Whenever I had a question or concern she was always quick to respond and very accommodating - she really went above and beyond what was expected. Our wedding pictures look amazing and we really couldn't ask for more - we even had a guest say that they hope she can photograph their wedding! Thank you Melissa for all of your hard work, we will forever be grateful! We look forward to using your services in the future as our family grows :)

Chris was able to accommodate us on very short notice (2 days) for a photos session, and had digital photos for us within 24 hrs + free retouching within his very reasonable price ($100/hr). We took the pictures before sunset at his recommended beach and they came out gorgeous! My husband commented that they came out better than our wedding photos. =) He was also very accommodating of my cranky Dad (who HATES getting his picture taken) and made it very easy and painless, helping to pose us and trying multiple angles and lighting for the best shots. I highly recommend Chris to capture your vacation and family memories!
