They were patient (my family members are not the best listeners) and checked in with me to make sure I was getting the shots I wanted. To say I am OBSESSED with my wedding photos is an understatement. Alycia was also very respectful of my budget and worked with me to cut out parts of her packages I didn't need and add in the things I did.

The photos themselves were high quality and exactly what we were hoping for. I would highly recommended Alycia Moore Photography to anyone and everyone!

She was attentive to our needs (I grew up in SF and wanted some nice shots of our surroundings) 2. Had wonderful ideas (such as a post-church beach shoot which was incredible!) 3. Brought a relaxed yet efficient vibe to the entire day! Her work is absolutely beautiful, and for her pricing, I think it is definitely a steal. She is very passionate about her work, and I cannot recommend her enough. She helped make a very hectic and intense day seem like a walk in the park. Thank you, Abby for the wonderful memories both on paper and in our hearts.

James was very professional, listened to what we had in mind in terms of wedding style, and created a custom package for us (shorter time, no assistant) since we were budget constrained and already had photographers for reception. He also was great at directing our wedding party and family for the formals. Our pics look fun but still glamorous!. The photos turned out great, and we especially liked the editing he did w/ the contrast.

We had called her to organize our engagement shoot for our wedding photos. We decided to do them in studio instead of outside as we wanted them to be a bit dramatic and have some fun and fun we did!!!! We had a total blast, she knew just what to do to help us get comfortable and the results were amazing. We then asked if she would photograph our small civil ceremony in my parents backyard--again a total success! We have since had her come to photograph my grandmothers 90th birthday party, my brother had her do his headshots--we even invited her to our big wedding in France (as a guest of course)!! If you're looking for an amazing photographer who loves her craft and who is also a wonderful person, call Alexa!!

Marielle is an absolute miracle worker! She recently took the best family photos we've ever had,…read moreand we truly couldn't be more grateful. Managing a busy family of six is chaotic on a good day, but going into this late-afternoon shoot, the odds felt stacked against us. We have four girls under the age of ten, including our newborn. Naps had been missed, stomachs were rumbling, and the crankiness was definitely starting to set in. Enter Marielle--armed with boundless energy, incredible patience, and a rubber chicken! She instantly transformed the mood, bringing so much playfulness and laughter to the session. She somehow kept the fun going for nearly 90 minutes, completely engaging the girls and effortlessly capturing all their genuine smiles and silly expressions. If you need a photographer who can handle the wonderful chaos of a big family and deliver stunning results, look no further. Marielle is simply the best!

We are endlessly grateful that Marielle Hayes was our photographer for both our engagement session…read moreand our wedding day. From our very first communication, Marielle knew that my partner and I have a strong aversion to having our photos taken. What could have been uncomfortable or stressful turned into something genuinely joyful. Our engagement session felt like a fun date together--she was so kind, encouraging, and thoughtful in her direction that we actually enjoyed the experience. By the end of it, we were truly excited for her to photograph our wedding. Leading up to the big day, Marielle was organized and communicative. We had several meetings, and she graciously entertained my very detailed emails--including a list of photo trends we didn't love, inspiration images we did, and a thorough timeline with specific people for portraits. We also had requested photos of and with my sweet Grandma who made a huge effort to be with us. She handled everything with care, professionalism, and warmth, making us feel completely supported. On our wedding day itself, Marielle went above and beyond her role as a photographer. She helped keep me calm when I accidentally left my wedding dress behind at the hotel, assisted with fixing my bustle, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once. One of the most meaningful parts of our gallery is the abundance of photos she captured of the florals. My mom and aunts created the arrangements after my mom and I designed them together, and seeing those details so beautifully documented means the world to me. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away. They are breathtaking--especially in the way Marielle captures light. It is no small feat to make two people who truly don't enjoy seeing photos of themselves feel this moved and this seen. But our gratitude for Marielle goes far beyond our own wedding. Three years ago, she photographed my brother Joseph's wedding to his beautiful wife, Kelsey. It was because of their experience and those photos that we knew we wanted Marielle for our own day. Less than a month after our wedding, Kelsey passed away. In our grief, we reached out to Marielle to ask if she might be able to share any photos she had captured of Kelsey and my from our wedding ahead of the rest of the edits, as well as provide access to their wedding gallery from three years ago. Her response was nothing short of extraordinary. She remembered working with Kelsey and my brother, spoke of them with such kindness, and turned around the photos within a single day. Because of her, we were able to print photos for Kelsey's celebration of life and give my brother copies to hold onto--images that now mean more than we can possibly express. Words truly cannot capture how thankful we are for Marielle--not only for what she gave us on our wedding day, but for what she has given our family before and long after. She is an exceptional photographer and an even more exceptional human being.

When I first came across Michael L'Heureux Photography, I thought it sounded very artistic and…read moremaybe even a little intimidating. I got the first part wrong but couldn't be more wrong about the second! =) I can't say enough good things about Michael. We hired him as our wedding photographer and, from our first phone interview with him to the actual day of the wedding, he has been the model of great client service and dedication. On top of that, Michael is just a genuinely nice guy. My hubby and I had many great vendors for our wedding, but Michael stood out for always going the extra mile, and we are so so so happy we hired him! I consider myself to be a pretty unphotogenic person, but I was amazed at how many great photos Michael captured. He really has an artistic eye. I wish I knew more about photography so I could better express all the beautiful elements in our pictures, but suffice to say, we got tons of compliments on them. =) But on top of his amazing talent and a calming demeanor that put even a photo-shy subject like me at ease, Michael's dedication really blew me away. Even though our venue in Monterey was hours away from his home, he visited it several times before the actual wedding day just to scout locations and check lighting. He didn't take a single break during the 9+ hour shooting period because he didn't want to miss a single shot. It's been a real pleasure working with Michael and he gets my highest recommendation to any bride who wants to hire a reliable, talented and service-oriented wedding photographer. P.S. He's not just a wedding photographer, he also shoots a lot of non-wedding photos~

There are not enough superlatives I can throw at Michael that can describe my wife and I's…read moreexperience with him for our engagement shoot and wedding. For starters, he took time out of a weekend he was in the area for a personal trip to shoot our engagement shoot. Our wedding was in Santa Barbara and since Michael had come up to San Francisco to visit friends he squeezed in our engagement shoot. Not only did he do that, he went out to the location early to scout for great spots so he could be sure we didn't waste any good light once we started shooting. My wife is beautiful and takes amazing pictures. I am the polar opposite of that. I can manage to look goofy or make a strange face in about 99% of the pictures I take. Michael and the 2nd shooter he brought to our wedding, Anthony somehow managed to even make me look good. At the wedding we didn't spend hours doing weird posed shots or wrangling together distant relatives for pictures we'd probably never look at twice. He knew we wanted things that were beautiful but seemed like candid shots. There are pictures I still look at today that were special intimate moments, and I have no idea how he got a shot of them without me seeing him snap the picture. He was so accommodating and easy to work with, it was just one thing about the wedding that brought no extra stress. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Do yourself a favor and talk to Michael, look through his portfolio and if you see shots that you think are your style, book him before someone else does. It will be one of the best decisions you make during your wedding planning.

I absolutely LOVED working with Hannah! We worked together on some lifestyle headshots for my…read morecompany. I've always considered myself to be more of a "behind the scenes" person, so I'm typically really shy about and feel uncomfortable being photographed. Hannah was so supportive and knew just the right things to say to help me loosen up and feel more confident in front of the camera. Unlike other photographers I've worked with, she took the time to show me photos along the way to make sure I loved the photos, too. The whole experience was really healing for me, and gave me a new sense of confidence in front of the camera. In addition to being great on-site, Hannah delivered the photos to me in a timely manner and with as much enthusiasm as she had the day of the shoot. I went into this shoot hoping to have a few lifestyle photos for my company's web site and social media. What I ended up with were photos that document my legacy. She's THAT good!
