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!!

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!

My husband Cody and I worked with Emily to capture our elopement at the Santa Barbara Courthouse…read more Emily is amazing to work with! She is very approachable and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We are not professional models, but Emily made us feel like we were! She is super friendly and made the photoshoot experience really fun. She helped us pose and look our best. She also knew the courthouse grounds well which was helpful to us as we came from out of state. We are very happy with our photos! It's hard to choose our favorites because we love them all! It was important to us to capture the details of our day since it was just the two of us attending our civil ceremony. Our family is thrilled with the quality of the photos. We would recommend Emily for photography and hope to work with her again soon!

We highly recommend Anna Delores Photography! We had the opportunity to work with them for our…read moreSeptember wedding and the pictures are stunning. From booking until our big day Emily was an excellent communicator and answered all our questions! We had Alyssa, Malaya, and Lauren as photographers and they were all fantastic!! Alyssa did our engagement session as well and made us feel very comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera! A huge thank you to the Anna Delores team for capturing our day perfectly!!

I cannot speak more highly of Karen's amazing photography skills, demeanor, and professionalism…read more From the very beginning Karen made us feel at ease, confident, and supported. Karen made our entire engagement session so enjoyable - we truly had the best time, and looking back at our photos is such a pleasure as it brings back the happy memories of making the moments. We are both not super comfortable in front of the camera, and Karen put us at ease and even gave us posing tips. Karen took the time to get each photo perfect, and even scoped out unique spots to make our photos extra special. I am sad we are getting married on the East Coast, because I can only imagine how wonderful Karen would have been as our wedding photographer. If you're looking for a highly-skilled, professional, personable, friendly, and funny photographer, you've found her!

Karen was absolutely incredible for our wedding at the Santa Barbara Courthouse this past…read moreSeptember. Her professionalism, deep knowledge of the location, and ability to capture stunning, emotional moments truly set her apart. She guided us through the entire process with ease and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Most importantly, she was exceptionally attentive to my wife, Lily, who was deeply grateful for how supported, confident, and cared for she felt throughout the day. Karen's calm presence made a huge difference. Her communication and coordination with our wedding planner were flawless, and her response time and turnaround on the photos were outstanding. The quality of the final gallery exceeded all expectations, every image was beautifully delivered and something we will cherish forever. We cannot recommend Karen highly enough and thank her enough for her natured care. Thank you Karen and Staff.

Michael and Anna did a wonderful job capturing our big day and we cannot be more grateful that we were lucky enough to work with them. They're professional, super friendly, and creative!

Matt B. and I just celebrated our first anniversary, so this review is really overdue. Michael and…read moreAnna Costa did a wonderful job capturing our wedding, and we will cherish our photos till death do us part. Matt first met the Costas when they photographed his best friend's wedding in Santa Barbara in 2008, and he remembered them when we started looking for photographers. His friends had hired the Costas' assistant, who cost considerably less, but when she quit, the Costas subbed in for her without any problems or raises in price. They took beautiful photos--we looked at them closely before making our decision. Another of Matt's friends from high school also ended up hiring the Costas after that wedding. When we hired our wedding planner, Ariel Yve (who is wonderful), she highly recommended the Costas. She said they did wonderful work for a fair price, and that they had photographed her wedding as well. We set up an interview with Michael and that was that. Everything had aligned. Michael took our engagement photos, and we got both Anna and Michael to shoot our wedding. The engagement photos were nice and awkward, but they turned out well, and they helped us get comfortable with Michael and his cameras. Michael and Anna are great people, very friendly and professional. They knew how to corral everyone for portraits, and to help me and Matt relax in front of the camera. I was advised before selecting wedding photographers that personality matters a lot--you probably spend more time with your photographers than with your closest friends and family on your wedding day. We felt at ease with the Costas. We took a million pictures on the wedding day, with Michael and Anna working hard from morning until well into the night. They captured everything, and our pictures came out beautifully. Our package came with full sets of both digital images and 4 x 6 prints in a custom box, as well as an album, two parent albums, and credit for larger prints of our choosing. It took us a while to get some of these things, but most of that was on our end. It's hard to pick your favorite pictures from an event as big and well covered as your own wedding. There were some problems with the website, but the Costas actually comped us extra prints to make up for them. All in all, great to work with. We went to another wedding in March, and were surprised to hear our names called out while we munched on hors d'oeuvres on a Pacific Palisades patio. We looked up and saw Anna Costa with her camera in hand. The couple, who had neither been to our wedding nor sought our advice, had hired our wedding photographers. I think the takeaway of this review is that everyone between L.A. and Santa Barbara is hiring the Costas, and that we all end up pretty pleased with that decision. If you're planning a wedding in Southern California, they should certainly be on your radar.

I am a very particular and organized person, and felt that I could completely trust Jocelyn and Spencer with their process. They also took time to scope out the locations we picked and also looked at inspo photos that we sent to capture some of the feelings and moods that we were going for. It was just the right balance of making sure they reflected our input, without losing their own creative eye. Our entire wedding was outdoors, so between the hard afternoon sun and dim evening, capturing it required a high degree of technical competence. Everything came out just the way we wanted it to - beautiful, natural, artistic. We wouldn't hesitate to work with them again for other events!
