He was wonderful to work with and really made the day stress free. So many people from our bridal party (and even guests) commented on how comfortable Kiel made them feel.

He really had everything organized and it was obvious from the beginning that he's great at what he does. No time was wasted and even with the 1 hour elopement package we chose it. We received many more photos than expected and it was just what we needed. It's hard to find photographers who are passionate about their work, but we're happy we found someone who was. You will not be disappointed.

The pictures turned out phenomenally. I could not be happier with the end product. He was not intrusive at all, and he gave gentle guidance that gave us some incredible photos that I will cherish for the rest of my life. If you are looking for a great photo journalistic photographer with an eye for capturing natural moments on your special day, look no further.

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Rod as our wedding photographer. In the…read morepast year I've been in 2 weddings other than my own, and for both of them the brides went with very expensive wedding photographers. Not only was Rod more pleasant to be around than either of those photographers, he also took FAR more amazing photos!! The day after the wedding, friends and family were commenting about how hard working he was and how friendly he was. He was also extremely unobtrusive--I didn't even notice him during the ceremony, yet somehow he got hundreds of great shots from different angles during that part of the wedding alone. He also got the photos back to us in a timely manner, and even added personal touches like slideshows and music. From the engagement session to the unveiling of the wedding photos, everything has been fun and easy throughout the whole process. Go with Rod--it will be the best vendor decision you make! He was definitely my favorite vendor out of the 10 or so we dealt with (caterers, officiant, etc.) :D

We had the absolute best experience with Matt Roberts from Rewind Photography for our Santa Barbara…read morecourthouse wedding. From the very beginning, Matt was incredibly detailed, thoughtful, and prepared. His website alone provided so much helpful information about the Santa Barbara courthouse wedding process and answered questions I had not even thought to ask yet. Once we booked, Matt continued to go above and beyond. He helped us create a clear timeline for the day, explained where to meet, planned photo locations around the courthouse, gave practical tips about the Hall of Records/security process, and even helped us think through how to include our children and family in the photos in a way that still allowed us to have intimate moments as a couple. His communication before the wedding made everything feel organized and calm. On the wedding day, Matt was amazing. He knew exactly where to go, how to guide us, and how to keep the day flowing without making it feel staged or stressful. He helped us stay in the moment instead of worrying about "being the moment." He was professional, warm, creative, and incredibly generous with his time. He even built in extra flexibility to make sure we got the moments and pictures that mattered most to us. After the wedding, his communication was just as thoughtful. He explained the editing process clearly and sent us beautiful preview photos within just a few days. The previews already captured the feeling, flow, and joy of the day so perfectly that we are even more excited to see the final gallery. Matt's knowledge of the Santa Barbara courthouse is outstanding, not only from a photographer's perspective, but also from a bride and groom's perspective. He truly understands how to make the experience feel smooth, meaningful, and beautiful. We are so grateful we found him and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone getting married at the Santa Barbara courthouse or looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about the full experience, not just the final photos.

He was very patient with us when we were running a bit behind on schedule and he still accomplished everything and more that we envisioned. Matt kindly helped us with finding the perfect ceremony location and the photos we've seen so far came out so beautiful. I highly recommend Matt for your next photo shoot.

The best video production and team of photographers in Santa Barbara!…read more I have a small business based in Santa Barbara and needed some photos and high-end video production shot for an advertisement. I was kind of stressed out finding the right person to promote my business and take the photographs exactly how I wanted, but the team at Viminal Media turned out to be so incredible and they are truly the best in Santa Barbara and even California. We worked on pre-production the week before and made sure they understood my vision correctly. They turned out to be the best photographer I've ever worked with. I also needed some drone footage and very specific cinematography that turned out phenomenal. They were extremely professional and competitive with their pricing compared to other companies in Santa Barbara and Ventura county. Drew was a very motivated and easy guy to work with too. His team listened and understood exactly what I envisioned in my head. In fact, I was so impressed that I am already planning on working with them for a corporate event this spring. If you're looking for someone to photograph, video or help promote your business in any other way, Viminal Media is the team for you. Thanks again!!!

I have used Danielle for 3 different shoots now. She is the only photographer I see myself going…read moreto. She is easy going, sweet, professional, detail oriented, has an impeccable creative eye and works tirelessly on finding the right moments that bring out the best in her subjects. She starts with planning what type of day would be best, what the weather will be like, location choices, mood of the shoots, advice on clothing... all that good stuff. She leaves no stone un-turned. On the shoot day, she is a breeze to be around and has a way of helping all types feel comfortable in front of the lens. And I normally don't like having my picture taken. Like, ever. The photo session feels like we are all just hanging out so she seems to capture the best of us. The post-session is easy to use, easy to purchase prints and you get all these great moments captured. I should also mention I have two wild boys (ages 5 & 2) and she is not intimidated at all at the idea of wrangling them. She has made hearding cats some sort of art. I'm confident that once you book Danielle, you will be a repeat customer just as I am.
