Booked Callaway Gable for our engagement shoot in Venice and wedding at the Beverly Hills Hotel…read more Their rate was definitely on the premium side but far less than some of the other local "luxury" wedding photographers. To be honest - I'm so glad we were able to get Callaway Gable. Comparing their against any of our other prospective photographers... we really lucked out. The things they are able to do with their cameras is quite magical. They are very technically skilled but their creativity is insane.... Their dedication to the shot - They were always willing to do whatever it took to get the shot right. We were received warnings from security, dodged cars, and Brian repeatedly sat in a bush riddled with thorns to get the shot. Their shots - They did all the standard shots required of any wedding... and more. I wish I could see the world through their eyes. There were so many occasions where Brian or Allison would abruptly stop us and we'd break out into a spontaneous photo shoot. We didn't really understand the shots and placed our trust in them and damn... they created magic before our eyes. Just seeing the previews in their viewfinders completely blew us away. I knew they were good but these moments/shots really made me understand that these two were special. The photographers - At the end of the night, my new wife and I agreed that Allison & Brian are our new hashtag relationship goals. They function incredibly well as a duo but also seemed quite cute when together. We're very happy to have met them. In conclusion - If you book anyone else to shoot your wedding... you're making a mistake. If you want boring generic wedding photos that like everyone else's, go else were. If you want over-exposed, whited out, cookie cutter photos ignore my review. Do you want photos that help you relive the magic of your big day? Do you want photos you are proud to show off? Do you want a cookie? Book Callaway Gable. (Disclaimer: they do not offer cookies.)

W.O.W. Where do we even begin? Callaway Gable are by far the best photographers EVER. Period. We…read morehad zero regret paying for such impeccable talent, professionalism, experience and expertise -- they were worth every single penny. Reliving our big day through their lenses was a surreal experience. Just a few days before the wedding, they were able to quickly come up with a schedule that worked for us despite our last-minute changes. Allison and Billye provided clear directions and elicited some chuckles to make us feel as relaxed as possible during the shoot and definitely got the best shots of us as a result! As if that wasn't amazing enough, they turned around our wedding photos within ONE week. Undoubtedly, this must have taken hours and hours of hard work and sleepless nights. We were in complete disbelief as we were expecting these to take a good couple weeks or even months! When we rushed home after dinner excitedly to run through these photographs, we were blown out of the water. Every shot they sent us captured a special moment-- our love story, the raw emotions of our family and friends, and the hard work devoted into the details of the wedding. This is incredibly priceless. The photos were also beautifully edited and some of the shots of the scenery / backdrop were so spectacular that they look straight out of an editorial shoot! We cannot recommend them enough. Thanks so much Callaway Gable for being our wedding photographers!!

Erin is amazing. We couldn't be happier with how our wedding photos turned out. She has an…read moreincredible eye for art and an amazing ability to catch EMOTION in her photos. Our guests continue to tell us how much they enjoyed looking through our wedding photos and what a great job she did. One of my favorite comments from one of our guests was, "Your photographer is a ninja!" How she knew where to be when I have no idea, but she managed to catch numerous beautiful moments throughout the whole day: my brother crying, my mother-in-law kissing and hugging me, the boys singing Irish drinking songs, the list goes on and on. We can't wait to get some of our favorite shots framed. I heard so many stories from people in my planning process about their regrets regarding the wedding photographer they chose, and I'm so relieved to know that I won't ever have any regrets about who we chose! She also has the awesome policy of giving her clients ALL of the photos she took for ONE very reasonable price. All of my friends were floored when I told them she gave us all our photos, no water marks or anything, at which point I was subjected to stories of wedding photographers who charged $2 for each individual picture on top of their really high fees. The best part about Erin, though, is that she genuinely and completely enjoys her job. It's very comforting to know that the one stranger at your wedding is somebody who is going to be deeply touched by all the joy and love she witnesses at your wedding. Thank you, Erin!!!

Courtney is THE BEST!…read more Courtney photographed our wedding in October 2022, and while the images are beyond gorgeous, the way she makes you feel on your special day is what's most amazing about her. Courtney is so much fun to be around. Wedding photos and engagement photos can be incredibly stressful, but the energy she brings to the process completely transforms the experience. Every photo was preceded by, followed by, or even during a gigantic laugh. Courtney also spent a great deal of time getting to know our preferences and personalities before taking a single photo. It may not seem like much, but it meant a great deal throughout the process. Her photos are both artistic and classic, elegant and jovial. We couldn't recommend Courtney enough!

She wasn't available so we worked with Lindsey, and not only was she so sweet, and made us feel so comfortable but the pictures came out beautifully. It was socially distanced, outside, and it didn't feel like anything odd. This was huge for me, and reassuring since our pregnancy has been nothing that I would call "normal" with COVID. We will be doing another session, most likely for our daughter's first birthday, and I am so excited to have a photographer we will be able to use throughout the years. She is not only really responsive but obviously just wants us to feel comfortable and to get the best experience possible. I can not recommend her services enough!

Started off with engagement photos at the beach where Jana literally got in the water to capture us. Fast forward to our wedding day...Jana and her crew captured every moment, posed us, embraced us and made us feel like movie stars! I wish there was a 10 star rating and if you're as lucky as we were to schedule her and her team, you will be blessed with the best photographer ever! In closing we thank you, appreciate you and your dedication to your art, and hope to stay in touch

We agreed to meet in person and morning of, she cancels due to an 'emergency' with one of her other clients. Ok, fine. We try to reschedule for the next few days but she says she'll be out of town and then says "I get it if you want to go in a different direction"... so you don't care about my business? She offers no other times she's avail so yeah, she doesn't care. Best part of all is that she shares everything via IG and she wasn't actually out of town at all! Careful what you share on social media ;) Not sure what her deal is but completely unprofessional and unacceptable. We certainly will be "going a different direction", thanks!

Planning a wedding from thousands of miles away and not getting to meet any of the vendors before…read morewas a bit unnerving. And needless to say more than a few things went wrong (site manager of our venue locking us out of the speaker system and leaving us with no music - then making a bridesmaid cry and proceed to shushing my guests and trying to kick us out at 9:45?? Ya it happened). One aspect where everything went right, however, was with our photographer. I cannot say enough positive things about Nataliya - every aspect of her involvement in our wedding went above and beyond my expectations. She is helpful, easy to work with, is somehow everywhere and capturing every moment and you don't even see her! I was just as impressed with the finished result, anybody can snap a photo but she has this unique style that was exactly what I wanted, artistic, in the moment, gorgeous shots we will treasure forever. In fact my husband and I joked that the wedding itself was such a whirlwind, we didn't even get to see or enjoy all the little details of our day until we saw the photos. I am so glad I took the advice of all the wedding blogs I read and hired a professional (my brother was married last year, had a friend do it, and is still waiting for pics - we had a sneak peek at our photos sent to us within a week). Another thing that really impressed me was how she really listened to us, how important our family and friends were, and captured an amazing shot of literally EVERY guest. Made me want to cry. Nataliya is definitely a rising star, I recommend getting to her before she's booked solid for eternity.

There aren't enough reviews here- everyone in the world needs to know how wonderful Kelly is! She…read moreshot my wedding this last Saturday and I could not be more pleased. Kelly arrived promptly on the day of and immediately got to work. She was never obtrusive while getting shots done. She works in a business-like and professional manner with a lot of sensitivity to the wedded couple. Family photos were a bit of a hassle because our family members kept wandering off or not listening to directions- Kelly handled them with patience and tolerance and we got the shots we wanted! I really loved working with Kelly when it was just the couple photos. She was really great at directing us and getting the photos we will treasure forever. I was very nervous about having to be photographed all day but she put me completely at ease and would show us shots on the digital camera just to keep us involved with how the photos were looking. At the reception she did a magnificent job of capturing the special moments on the dance floor without ever interrupting things- she would see a moment happening a capture it right there! This is different from my experience at other weddings where the photographers are in the way or trying to get guests to recreate a candid moment. If you are planning an L.A. wedding then you cannot do better than hiring Kelly for your photographs :)

She helped us choose the location of our photo shoot, and went to the Venice neighborhood of Abbot Kinney. The photos truly captured our personalities and she created an artistic, modern, and pretty epic album for us. Not to mention her mad skills with photo-editing/correction to make my 'not so favorite' areas obsolete! End note: She provided great service and a fun experience during the shoot, provided proofs within days, and a final product that we couldn't be happier with.

Our ceremony was outdoors and our reception was indoors. She captured both environments so beautifully. I feel so lucky to have her as our photographer and we definitely made a new friend. She is a beautiful soul! I can't recommend her more.

After speaking to many, we decided to hire Cameron Jordan and could not have been happier! Cameron was able to find spots around LA that was a perfect fit to our style and our family. She was a true professional through the whole shoot and made my girls (5 yrs and 7 months old) feel at ease. She must have taken a few hundred shots and delivered ones that captured the beautiful moments of being parents of two. We've received compliments on the portraits with many asking for the locations and photographer. And like most parents, we were anxious to see the pictures ASAP. Without asking, Cameron sent us a preview within a couple days and sent the rest within a week. We highly recommend Cameron Jordan Artistry!

Her rate was for 4 hours, which was more than enough time to get some sweet shots of us. We rented out the Japanese Garden in Encino and you could see Alli's eyes light up. She knows how to get you to stand and where to get the "right" photo. She's extremely sweet and easy to work with in person. Her rate is very good compared to what a lot other photographers in the area as well. Since she has a full time job, she was only available on weekends... which is GREAT! All the other photographers we talked to were only available on weekdays and it was a pain trying to schedule anything. With that said, we love our photos. She turned them around in just a few weeks (!!!) which is unheard of for these type of photography sessions. My friends were quite jealous of the fast turnaround. :) Overall, HIGHLY recommend her. Check her out on Instagram!
