She made the whole experience feel effortless and fun and was so good with my little one. You can tell she really puts care into the process from start to finish.

We are so pleased with our photos and will treasure these moments forever!

He was responsive, easy/straightforward to work with, made us feel comfortable during the shoot and was very personable. I really appreciate his easy going personality and he made us feel comfortable during photos and gave us really good poses/pointers. I loved that he would show us little snippets during the shoot to show us how the photos were turning out as well. He was so kind, friendly, professional and all the great things you want in a photographer capturing your special moments. I believe he finalized edits and sends within 3-4 weeks and I can't wait to see. Bonus was that he sent over more than 10 sneak-peaks within 24 hours!!! This was so awesome and we were able to use right away to announce our marriage. All in all, so impressed with Justin. He's a gem and I'm looking forward to continue using him for our future shoots!!

Justin was our photographer for our engagement and wedding. He did a fantastic job for both…read moreevents. For the engagement, Justin met with my husband to scope out potential locations. My husband greatly appreciated Justin's recommendations for photo ideas. For our wedding, Justin and his second photographer were nothing short of amazing. Justin was able to use the venues spaces very creatively and effectively--I was very impressed with Justin's ability to stage us and our family and wedding party without having seen the venues before. The photos made me appreciate the venues in ways I had not thought of. Justin was able to turn around two photographers' and 10 hours worth of photos in 2 weeks. We were very impressed! Justin has a way of making people feel comfortable. That was true of my husband and me, as well as our wedding parties and families. The end result was amazing photos that we love, and our friends and family have told us look great. We are so happy we got to work with Justin and his team!

Being from the East Coast and 2400 miles from our home, we wanted our annivetsary in Carmel to be remembered forever. Adam not only captured memories that will last a lifetime, but we also gained a friend. Adam is a remarkable person and is gifted to give just the right guidance for capturing the most beautiful images on Carmel Sunset Beach during golden hour. We have worked with multiple photographers in the past, and Adam is a gifted photographer who truly captures moments in time. Let him capture your next big moment.

I am so glad I hired Adam for my surprise proposal to my girlfriend. Living in SoCal and having…read morenever been to Monterey/Big Sur, I planned my whole proposal based on google searches, reddit threads, and word of mouth. Being a Big Sur/Monterey local, Adam provided extremely helpful insight and feedback for my proposal. He definitely helped relieve a lot of the stress during the planning phase of my proposal. On the day of the actual shoot, the day-of jitters was overwhelming at times, but Adam's energy and demeanor was very centering. He was patient and gave my new fiancee and I space to calm ourselves, and also knew when to take charge and guide us with our poses. He also had amazing and creative ideas for how to pose and brought us to local, reclusive spots to take intimate photos. Best of all, Adam always had a smile on his face and he made us really think like we were supermodels walking the runway haha. If you're going to do any photoshoot, especially a proposal or engagement shoot, in the Big Sur/Monterey area, I would highly recommend getting Adam!!

I really appreciated that they had a separate room for changing clothes and baby diaper changes, which made everything so much more comfortable and convenient. They had beautiful backgrounds and so many fun props for my baby to play with. We also added on the sibling option, and both of my kids had such a great time during the session. Ted was incredibly patient with my kids and managed to capture so many sweet and adorable moments naturally. The final photos turned out absolutely beautiful and dreamy, I couldn't be happier with them! Overall, it was such a wonderful experience, and I would definitely come back again for another photoshoot in the future.

Anyone with twins knows that keeping two one-year-olds happy at the same time is no small feat. Whenever one of them started getting fussy, Ted handled the transitions seamlessly and kept the energy calm and fun. His patience and ability to work around toddler moods made all the difference. On top of being fantastic with the kids, the background designs and set setups were absolutely stunning and so thoughtfully put together. Most importantly, the final photos turned out gorgeous--we will treasure these memories forever!

Planning a destination wedding can be tough, but Elley made our experience flawless. She asked…read moreexcellent questions, and understood what we wanted almost immediately. Her photographs are so beautiful, and she is a dream to work with. She made both myself, my husband, and our wedding party feel comfortable during all of our wedding photos. We loved walking around Monterey before our nuptials for our first look and portraits, and seeing how creative Elley was in the process. We will cherish our wedding and engagement photos forever, thanks to Elley's excellent work. Elley sent us sneak-peek photos, and even put together a wedding slideshow for us to one of my favorite songs - it brought tears to my eyes. She is a must have for any wedding.

I believe that we were Elley's very first "professional" wedding back in October of 2007. One word…read moredescribes Elley: Fantastic. I took a chance on an enthusiastic woman with a big smile and I couldn't be happier. Her pictures are absolutely breathtaking and she caught every perfect moment at our wedding. Her pictures are beautiful. She knows how to capture emotions as well as moments-and does it all while being as stealthy as a ninja. We had so many compliments (and still receive them all the time) on our wedding pictures-and that isn't easy to do as we are not photogenic people! She goes out of her way to think of creative shots-and always manages some incredibly interesting and beautiful pictures as a result. We recently moved back to the Bay Area and had Elley take some photos of our twin babies. Once again she was nothing but a pleasure to work with. She had all kinds of incredible ideas for shots but yet we never felt awkward or like we were posing. The pictures of our family were incredible this time too. Having Elley take pictures is totally worth it no matter what the occasion. We will continue to use Elley for all of our photography in the years to come. She feels like more than a photographer-she's now a friend.

To me, hiring the right photographer was the most important part of the wedding planning process. Their portfolio had amazing photos and Rachael didn't disappoint! Anna, our Photography Coordinator, sent us forms to fill out ahead of time and she then created a photography brief, which included all of the shots we wanted, making the family portraits go quickly and smoothly. They were good about calling and checking-in right before the wedding to make sure they brought our vision to life. Rachael and Jenny were fun to work with during our first look photo shoot, which we had off sight prior to our ceremony. They let us be natural but they also made suggestions for various poses, which we appreciated. They worked well together and captured the whole day beautifully and before they left the reception, they checked in to see if we wanted any last photos. We couldn't wait to see the photos they took and loved looking at our sneak peak photos a few weeks later! So fun to get a taste of our first look. Then we got the email saying that all of our photos were ready!! (which arrived ahead of the expected timeline, which was most likely a perk to getting married in the off season!) They were amazing! We are so happy with how they came out!

She did our engagement photos too, which were our first time doing any kind of professional shoot, and she made it feel so easy and natural. She really captured us beautifully. We just got our wedding sneak peek back and are blown away. Nicole was the perfect person to have with us on the day--she kept everything light and fun, and made us feel totally at ease. She's so so so talented. The whole One Love team was great to work with. They checked in throughout the process with surveys to understand what was important to us and offered helpful feedback based on their experience with our venue. On the day, Nicole's assistant photographer Megan was also lovely--we love the photos they both captured and feel so lucky they were recommended to us.
