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!

Every photo is gorgeous and will be our most treasured gifts for the rest of our lives. On top of this, Michelle is just an absolute JOY to work with! She made the entire process easy and stress free, even though we were living and planning from across the country. Our engagement shoot was a blast (we were for real laughing in almost every photo!) and our wedding day was the same! She is professional, always quick to get back to us via email/text, and we sincerely appreciated her keeping us in the loop with updates on the delivery of our final photos. Michelle is forever our girl for any and all professional photography!

As someone who has always been a bit aphrenrsive on getting photographed in my pregnant condition and then always been a bit of "eh, we can take these photos ourselves" type of person, I couldn't be more thrilled with this investment and how wonderful it was working with her.

He listened to what we wanted for wedding photos & guided us with posing for the camera. It helped getting to do an engagement shoot with him so we could learn the different cues and get some great photos in the process. Jeff was always super communicative & worked well with our planner. He's organized & gets the photos out to you in a timely manner. The album links are easy to share with friends/family. Photos that are downloaded come out looking beautifully. On the wedding day, Jeff came in super excited along with a second photographer, Will. Jeff and Will are a great team who get things done without feeling too rushed. During our reception, we asked to do table group photos. As a last minute request, Jeff handled it well & was able to get our 16 tables photographed with us in less than 30 minutes. He captured so many wonderful moments from our couples portraits, to a first look with my dad, to our grandparents out on the dance floor. I can't recommend Jeff enough; he's the best!

He didn't just take pictures; he captured genuine emotion, raw reactions, and moments we'll treasure forever. The lighting, timing, and angles were all perfect. Looking through them brought us right back to the moment. If you're even slightly stressed about hiring a photographer for a proposal or any special moment, Jeff is your guy.

From the beginning, Victoria was highly responsive, answered all my questions and even set up a call to walk through shoot day so we were prepared. She has a detailed preparation guide on her website which was extremely helpful as a new parent. The photo shoot took place at her in-home studio and it was a very comfortable, relaxing environment with everything you need for a newborn photo shoot. She has an abundance of props and the cutest outfits and accessories to choose from for each photo. Unfortunately, my baby wasn't happy this day, but despite the chaos Victoria was so kind and understanding and she worked her magic (and patience) to capture some amazing photos of our little one in between all the fussiness. She really went out of her way and even extended the session time to allow us time to calm, feed and change our baby so we could get the best photos possible. She was also so meticulous and detailed - from the props to the lighting to the baby, she made sure each element was in just the right position and orientation for the best photos. I highly recommend Victoria, and I will definitely recommend her to all my friends and family. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to take our baby's 1st photos.

And has great work for you to have as a keepsake whether it's candids of you chasing your little or graduation to wedding pictures? Then mari is your girl! I've been going to her since Mother's Day 2019 and she's captured all my eldest firsts from our Mother's Day to birthday to Christmas! Her work shows how much she tries to capture you and your little in the moment! She takes her time to get to know you, your life, and to become a friend! She is so patient with Miguel and knows how to capture him in the moment (I have yet found a photographer who can capture Miguel laughing or smiling in a photo like she has). Personally my experience with mari has been nothing but phenomenal! She keeps in touch and sends me updates about my sessions. I've always came back to her even when there's other photographers in Ventura asking when I'd book with them. (Usually try others once just because of friendship but always find myself booking again with mari consistently) her work has improved over the years, her editing style is something I always loved and obsessed over. Her work isn't just meant to be shown on Instagram but printed and frame to be placed above the fireplace or wall for everyone to see! I have so many printed photos up on our wall that was taken by her! I highly recommend mari to anyone that wants photos done because these are memories you'll want later and will never regret! Can't wait to be back in California to book a family session that now includes a new little and a dad! You literally get what you pay for, if not more.

I picked the diamond package which included a 10-12 min highlighted video, 1 photo album, and two frames. My wedding was in 2021 and I've only received the photos. i had reached out to her idk how many times and once I finally got a response from her she had mentioned she wasn't really doing the package deals. Mind you me and her had spoken about the package I was booking her for. She agreed to it. That's what was on our contract. Thats what I paid her for. its been extremely difficult dealing with her. I'm a very patient and understanding person. I had told her if I didn't receive the additional items I would file small claims. She sent a big paragraph saying I pretty much wouldn't have a case. She said her mom was going to be delivering my additional items. I provided her with my home address and still nothing. I sent her a text message last year with my new phone number and she never responded to me. I also have proof of everything. I definitely regret booking with her. And the quality of the photos were not good at all. I feel like she picks and chooses on how good she does with her clients, and with me was the worst experience.

They gave us plenty of time to settle and feed the baby, and even when she spit up all over their couch, they were nothing but kind and reassuring.

As any parent knows, getting a toddler and a newborn to cooperate is no small task, but they made it feel easy. The final photos were beautiful and captured our kids perfectly. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtful, talented, and genuinely kind photography team!

Beverly and Steve were also very receptive to our requests! My husband is a rock climber, so we wanted to create a couple of newborn pictures that included his climbing gear. Beverly made it come together so beautifully! Steve and Beverly were also patient and kind about newborn messes (spraying during diaper changes, spit up after feeding, etc.). They've seen it all (they are parents themselves), and the mess doesn't faze them. In addition, they gave some great advice to ease my anxieties as a first-time mom. We are so pleased with our experience here. The final photos are beautiful and we'll cherish them for a lifetime. I can't recommend this studio highly enough.
