FABULOUS EXPERIENCE!!! So lucky to have come across Alex!…read more We live about 2 hours away and were coming to the area for a few days. My daughter wanted to do senior pictures at the beach earlier in the year, and we never did, so I decided to surprise her with a photo shoot while visiting. Came across Alex and KNEW she'd be perfect! Her communication is awesome and she's very through! My daughter and I LOVED that she asked questions about HER specific interests, likes (music, hobbies, etc.) in ordered to "know" her in advance and make her session the best it can be! Alex was so easy to work with, and just an all around great vibe! Her return with photos was SOOO FAST, and BEAUTIFUL! Would 100% recommend and would hire Alex again!!

With photography, you truly get what you pay for, and I can tell you with great confidence that…read moreAlex is worth every penny and more. Alex took my grad photos and I am 100% thrilled with all of the photos. I will continue to refer her to others in the future as I highly recommended her for any event and/or occasion!

My husband and I were lucky enough to work with Lucia for our engagement shoot and for our wedding…read moreday! Right off the bat Lucia and I realized we had very similar tastes in style and aesthetics, which made me feel at ease knowing that I would love the photos. Lucia went above and beyond to make sure we got the shots that we wanted and that we looked our best. Lucia's laid-back but also helpful approach really worked for us, and we absolutely love all the photos! If you're looking for a wedding photographer, do not hesitate to book Lucia!

Brandon was amazing, from my initial inquiry all the way through my questions after receiving our…read morebeautiful photos. After I had narrowed down potential photographers, my husband and I went over their portfolios and agreed on B&E Photography, and we definitely made the best decision! We only needed one photographer for our small wedding, and Brandon was great and getting back and forth between our rooms to get pictures of the girls and guys getting ready. He has a great personality and made me feel much more comfortable while posing for photos. He captured so many great moments and we are so thrilled with our pictures! Since sharing them with friends and family we have gotten so many compliments on the work of Brandon. We will definitely use them in the future for family photos. Thank you!!

Video chatting in advance so we wouldn't be meeting for the first time on our wedding day. He also continued to impress with handling family photos and going the extra mile for the perfect shot (See attached). He jumped up on a broken piling to get a top down shot of us on a receding waterline. We would highly recommend him!

Kelsey is an absolutely amazing photographer and human being. Our wedding was originally scheduled…read morefor April 2020 which of course did not happen due to COVID, and we tried to reschedule it several times but bad things kept happening to us including our first baby being stillborn, so it was a super long and dragged out process to finally get the wedding in the books. Kelsey was not only patient and responsive throughout the almost 2 year planning process, but she also helped us out with other things, like recommendations for a spa to get a gift card to thank our amazing planner. We came down to Santa Barbara for a weekend a couple months before the wedding, to meet our vendors and scope things out, and Kelsey provided a TON of input and guidance on places to do our First Look and other photos. She was just so amazingly helpful and kind. But where her kindness really shone through was on our wedding day. She went SO FAR above and beyond to give us the special day she felt we deserved after all our loss (we also had an 11 week miscarriage 8 months after our first baby was stillborn, and my mom was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in the height of our grief). She truly wanted our day to be as perfect as possible and she really delivered. My husband and I are both pretty shy, awkward people so we were super nervous for the photoshoot as we hate people looking at us and being the center of attention. Not only did Kelsey (and our wonderful videographer Jennie from Riviera Productions) make us feel completely at ease, but somehow, magically, she actually made it fun?!?!? Taking the photos between the ceremony and the reception was the most fun part of our wedding day, we had a blast and the photos are absolutely BREATHTAKING. Like straight out of a magazine. I don't know how she did it but she made everything look so beautiful and we could not be more thrilled with the photos. We knew she was good, because I'm the type of person who reads a million reviews and does a ton of research before I book anything or go anywhere, but Kelsey is next level. The photos are far better than anything we could have ever imagined. Even though we live in the Bay Area, we will be using Kelsey as our family photographer forever. She is worth 9 hours in the car round trip. Heck, I'd drive days to see her! If you're trying to decide who to book, stop wasting your time wading through reviews and just book Kelsey already. She is fantastic and we feel so, so, so fortunate to know her.

So hands down Kelsey is the BEST photographer in the Santa Barbara area! I may be biased since she…read morecaptured the most gorgeous photos from my husband and our wedding day at the Fess Parker this June, but honestly, she is the best. Our initial contact, I immediately knew that I wanted KELSEY, because I knew we would click, and we did! She met us when we came down to SB for a visit, as we don't live in the area, and gave me SO many recommendations, including my videographer, sweetheart cake, Flowers! Honestly, I credit her for the amazing vendors! Each photo is gorgeous and I would not have changed anything! She's so generous and provided my husband with some special stuff out of the kindness of her heart. Kelsey Crews is the best!

My husband and I will be forever grateful to Leah for the fantastic job she did as our wedding…read morephotographer! She flew to Bermuda to capture our intimate wedding on the beach, and she truly captured the moments, the beauty, the spirit, everything! She is talented, dedicated, creative, patient, flexible, and friendly! I am really 'camera shy' and Leah did a wonderful job making me feel comfortable during the portraits! She has a great eye, and two good ears, so she was able to suggest picture locations, poses, etc. that both worked beautifully and matched our tastes. She took gorgeous and dynamic shots of the ceremony itself. Then she seamlessly organized all of the group pictures that we wanted (no easy feat with 25 people, including many kids, but she made it fast and fun!) and also suggested other meaningful group photos that we're so glad to have but that we may have overlooked ourselves because of the frenzy of the day. She also got the BEST candid shots of our beloved friends and family celebrating. We treasure the photographs from our wedding! We wish we had more wall space because we wish we could frame and hang ALL of them!

I booked Candice Marie Photography for my wedding in 2021 and am still SO obsessed with the photos…read more I chose Candice over other photographers because of her incredible portfolio, and her radiant personality and professionalism. She offers a variety of packages and provided me with a thorough questionnaire to get a feel for what I wanted, which made me feel at ease. She was also very responsive and organized, and overall a pleasure to work with. At the wedding, she and her second shooter made our wedding party feel comfortable and directed us in a way that allowed for natural, fun photos. They also got a lot of pictures of our guests, candid shots, and little details. I had an amazing experience working with Candice Marie Photography and would highly recommend her.

She was able to control our rowdy bridal party and made taking hundreds of photos a really fun experience for everyone. We're so happy with the photos we received, they were delivered on time and are excellent quality. A few months after we received the photos, I realized we missed a really important "must" photo so I reached out to her and she was so accommodating and helped to photoshop an existing photo so that we had something to work with. I really, really appreciated this gesture and I think it's a good example of her character and professionalism. You won't regret working with Candice, I can't recommend her enough.

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!
