It's hard to know where to begin, because there are simply too many amazing things to say about…read moreTeresa and her work. When my husband and I began our search for a wedding photographer back in 2019, Teresa was one of the first we discovered, and I was immediately in love with her light & airy, classic aesthetic. Her photos and overall style are so dreamy, natural and effortless. After speaking to her on the phone, I pretty much knew immediately that she was our girl. She is so kind, easy to talk to, caring, and most importantly, honest. We were one of the many couples faced with the interruption of covid-19, and had to postpone our wedding a full year. Teresa was more than understanding and reassuring, which eased so much of the stress we faced at that time. A comment I received from multiple people on my wedding day was how calm I seemed. And I have to say, I credit 100% of that to Teresa. Leading up to the wedding, she made me feel so prepared and at ease. When wedding day arrived, she carried that sense of calm with her from start to finish. Shooting with Teresa feels like shooting with a good friend you've known forever. She is so sweet, funny, organized, and professional. Wedding day can be SO stressful, but Teresa never let me or anyone give into that at any time. She keeps you laughing, and brings an energy that every bride needs on her big day. The timeline she created for our day was completely seamless, and the day just felt so easy with her direction and care. The amount of people that also recognized this about her and made a point to tell me throughout my wedding day only further confirmed that she is truly amazing at what she does. She is the real deal. My wedding (and engagement) photos are something out of a dream. In fact, they are even better than what I dreamed of for so long. She captured the most special moments of our life so beautifully and organically, and we will cherish them forever. They are classic and timeless, and I never fail to get emotional any time I look at them. From the beginning, Teresa never felt like a vendor we hired, she felt like family. Words can never express how thankful I am for her and the experience she gave us, or how grateful we feel that she will be in our lives for years and years to come, capturing more of our life's precious moments. Our wedding day was truly perfect, and we owe SO much of it to Teresa and her hard work. We not only have these photos that we love, cherish, and will show our children someday, but we gained a dear friend in the process. I would recommend her to everyone under the sun. Thank you Teresa, from the bottom of our hearts.

Michele was recommended to me and my wife about a year ago right after our engagement. The…read morerecommendation came from very close friends that were also using her as their wedding photographer. After looking at her website we were very impressed and first met Michele at a local coffee shop to get a feel of each other. After just a few minutes of conversing with her, we knew that Michele was the right wedding photographer for us. She made us feel incredibly comfortable by presenting herself as a professional who has a strong passion for photography. However, what we found even most impressive was that she asked us numerous questions about what we wanted out of our wedding photos instead of merely telling us about her work. Then to top it off, we were incredibly impressed by what we saw on her website and found her rates to be more than reasonable for the product offered. We next met Michele a few month later to shoot our engagement photos on the Santa Monica Pier. The photo's were posted a website about a week later and a CD was mailed to our home. We were so happy with how they turned that we framed many and now have them hanging in our home. Finally, on the day of our wedding Michele and her assistant, Luke were incredible! We love our wedding photos and have even had our married friends tell us that they wish they would have used Michele as their wedding photographer. We will be looking back on our wedding decades from now and smiling. Thanks, Michele.
