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!

Thankfully I was referred to Linda by a friend. Her level of experience and knowledge for her craft is exceptional. Providing a professional environment with high tech equipment. She was kind, humorous and knew just the right things to say to get you in the act for your photos. People often overlook what a good personality behind the camera can mean for how your photos turn out. Makes you much more confident and comfortable in the moment. In the end she diligently guided me to see which photos were best by the small ques she would mention. (Chin down, step forward, tilt, etc) This made the experience not only better in terms of the photos but informative as to how to pose in the future. I highly recommend anyone looking for a good photo or spark of confidence to contact Linda she'll surely take care of you.

Best of all, she made the photoshoot fun, relaxing, and put so much heart and energy into it. She is talented, kind, has a fast and keen eye for turning any environment into an amazing backdrop.

Over a dinner party, Katie showed me her portfolio of portraits she'd taken of family and friends and I just, FELL IN LOVE! Her style was exactly what I envisioned for an outdoor rustic style engagement & wedding. The day of the engagement shoot, she made us feel so comfortable and calm with her sweet & funny sense of humor. Since my husband doesn't have a lot of patience (most men don't) she was quick yet thorough and professional -the entire shoot only took 35-45 minutes. That same evening, we received a few sneak peeks and were BLOWN away by her talent! We knew then, our wedding photos were going to be STUNNING. On the wedding day, Katie was so FLEXIABLE and relaxing to be around. She made our entire wedding party feel so comfortable. She was not pushy or bossy and knew exactly which shots she wanted to capture. Since the wedding was late in March, her use of natural light made everything all the more BREATHTAKING. We also received sneak peeks within a day and couldn't believe it. I've never received so many compliments from friends, family, and coworkers ever before! All the pictures were captured so elegantly and beautifully that nothing was overdone, just real emotions perfectly captured. The wedding was even featured on my dress designer, Claire Pettibone's, blog & Style Me Pretty! http://www.stylemepretty.com/california-weddings/2013/06/24/old-agoura-wedding-from-katie-shuler-photography/ Not only is Katie Shuler talented, but her attention to detail transpires in her work. Her love for her husband, family, their animals, and passion for life makes her the PERFECT photographer for paying attention to all of the emotional moments.

We did our engagement photos at the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride and she did a great job of utilizing the backdrop to not only suit our taste, but capture classy photos. She was so flexible in terms of scheduling and did a really great job working around our busy schedules. Jenn knew my wedding venue really well and she already had a plan for where we were going to do portraits, first-look, etc. It was a relief to have one less thing to worry about. She also did a great job of of meeting my demanding shot list. When we were getting ready for the ceremony and during the reception she was like a ninja, meaning I didn't feel like she and her assistant were ever in the way. We have so many great photos from our wedding day. We even had to add 10 extra pages to our album because she got so many good shots we simply couldn't narrow it down. The package we purchased from her included our engagement photos, wedding day photos, and an album. It was a great value and I'm so glad we went with her. She was very responsive to emails and phone calls as well. I felt like all my questions got answered right away. If you want a great photographer who is flexible, creative, easy to work with, reliable, straightforward, responsive and really good under pressure, Jenn is your gal. I can't recommend her enough.

She took our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. Jenn was recommended to us by our venue. Looking at her site, I loved her work, her attention to detail, and familiarity with our venue. She also has very reasonable pricing and different packages to suit your needs. My husband and I picked the package with 8 hours of wedding coverage and a second shooter. We also purchased an engagement session. A couple months before our wedding, we decided to add an extra hour of wedding photography coverage and she was very flexible in making that happen. For our engagement photos, we picked a place in Pasadena and Jenn met us there. We began by taking photos in one spot then we started walking and moving around the city and Jenn would point out spots that would make great picture backdrops. The turnaround for our engagement photos was quick, within four weeks. Before our wedding day, Jenn and I chatted about specific photos we wanted to be taken and the kind of overall vibe we were going for with our photos. She arrived on our wedding day so pumped and ready to work. Jenn is such a positive and fun person it's impossible not to smile and have fun while she's taking your picture. The second shooter she brought, Joey, was also very nice and professional. Together they made a great team. We got our photos back 8 weeks after our wedding. Oh my goodness, they are amazing. We have gotten the nicest compliments from our friends and family. Jenn is a spectacular photographer and anyone would be lucky to have her photographer their wedding!

Her work is stunning, and I love her approach to documentary style photography and true-to-color editing. She truly exceeded all expectations. We are still in awe at how perfectly she captured the energy of the whole day plus so many little details. Our friends and family have been raving about the photos too. She really captured everyone so beautifully. We also couldn't believe how many photos she got. I swear she must have some magical ability to be in multiple places at once! She is extremely organized, thoughtful, and such a pleasure to work with. She was very present throughout the whole planning process, and we really appreciated how much time she took to help us think through the timeline for the day and organizing family photos. We had mentioned that we were interested in the possibility of doing some off-site photos at some point during the reception. When she went to scout out the venue, she also found an off-site spot nearby where we could get some nice landscape shots. We ended up getting so caught up during the reception that we decided not to sneak away for the off-site photos, but it was nice to have that as an option and very thoughtful of her to scope it out for us. Since we didn't do the off-site photos during the wedding, I'm especially grateful for the gorgeous photos she took during an engagement shoot. As part of our package, she offered to do a pre-wedding photo shoot with us. We live on the east coast, and she met up with us out here! We walked around one of the national parks and she got some amazing portraits and candids. She did such a great job guiding us. I wanted portraits that looked natural and not super staged, and she was an expert at that. Elli has an incredible gift for capturing not just how things looked, but how they felt. We're so grateful for her and we'll cherish these photos forever.

Highly Recommend Elli as Your Wedding Photographer!…read more We were looking for a wedding photographer who could capture true-to-life colors, authentic emotion, and the fun of the day--not stiff or overly posed moments. Funny enough, I had been following Elli for a while for her food, restaurant, and lifestyle photography before I even discovered her wedding work. Her eye for storytelling, small details, and candid joy immediately stood out, and once I saw her wedding portfolio, I knew she would bring that same magic to our celebration. Since we eloped in Hawaii, we hired Elli (along with an assistant photographer she selected) for 4 hours to photograph our reception. This included a 30-minute portrait session before our grand entrance, and coverage until about an hour before dancing ended. From the very beginning, Elli was incredibly organized, communicative, and thoughtful. She walked us through exactly what information she needed ahead of time--family groupings, key moments, priorities--which made us feel more prepared going into the day. We also met in person about a week before the wedding to scout the location. Even though Elli had photographed at the Presidio before, she still took the time to walk the space with us and make sure the lighting, scenery, and flow matched our vision. That level of care and intention is something that could not be matched. We didn't have a wedding coordinator, and Elli truly went above and beyond to help keep the timeline on track and gently guide things when needed (though don't expect her to replace a planner--she just genuinely cares). She was calm, professional, and confident, which made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, including guests who normally shy away from photos. Her creative eye absolutely shines in the final gallery. From the vibrant Mexican food to the lion dancing and ice cream truck, every image perfectly reflects the joyful, celebratory energy of the day. Elli somehow managed to capture both the big moments and the quiet, meaningful ones--natural portraits, candid laughter, emotional reactions, and beautiful details we didn't even realize were happening. She delivered well over 1,000 photos in about six weeks, and when my husband and I went through them, we laughed, cried, and relived the entire day all over again. The photos feel timeless, effortless, and deeply personal--exactly what I hoped for when choosing a wedding photographer. If you're a bride/family looking for someone who is professional, organized, artistically talented, and genuinely invested in telling your story, Elli is it. We would absolutely hire her again and recommend her without hesitation. Not sharing pictures on Yelp for privacy reasons, but hop on to her instagram to see them!
