Would highly recommend!

After I had narrowed down potential photographers, my husband and I went over their portfolios and agreed on B&E Photography, and we definitely made the best decision! We only needed one photographer for our small wedding, and Brandon was great and getting back and forth between our rooms to get pictures of the girls and guys getting ready. He has a great personality and made me feel much more comfortable while posing for photos. He captured so many great moments and we are so thrilled with our pictures! Since sharing them with friends and family we have gotten so many compliments on the work of Brandon. We will definitely use them in the future for family photos. Thank you!!

He also continued to impress with handling family photos and going the extra mile for the perfect shot (See attached). He jumped up on a broken piling to get a top down shot of us on a receding waterline. We would highly recommend him!

I booked Candice Marie Photography for my wedding in 2021 and am still SO obsessed with the photos…read more I chose Candice over other photographers because of her incredible portfolio, and her radiant personality and professionalism. She offers a variety of packages and provided me with a thorough questionnaire to get a feel for what I wanted, which made me feel at ease. She was also very responsive and organized, and overall a pleasure to work with. At the wedding, she and her second shooter made our wedding party feel comfortable and directed us in a way that allowed for natural, fun photos. They also got a lot of pictures of our guests, candid shots, and little details. I had an amazing experience working with Candice Marie Photography and would highly recommend her.

She was able to control our rowdy bridal party and made taking hundreds of photos a really fun experience for everyone. We're so happy with the photos we received, they were delivered on time and are excellent quality. A few months after we received the photos, I realized we missed a really important "must" photo so I reached out to her and she was so accommodating and helped to photoshop an existing photo so that we had something to work with. I really, really appreciated this gesture and I think it's a good example of her character and professionalism. You won't regret working with Candice, I can't recommend her enough.

Kelsey is an absolutely amazing photographer and human being. Our wedding was originally scheduled…read morefor April 2020 which of course did not happen due to COVID, and we tried to reschedule it several times but bad things kept happening to us including our first baby being stillborn, so it was a super long and dragged out process to finally get the wedding in the books. Kelsey was not only patient and responsive throughout the almost 2 year planning process, but she also helped us out with other things, like recommendations for a spa to get a gift card to thank our amazing planner. We came down to Santa Barbara for a weekend a couple months before the wedding, to meet our vendors and scope things out, and Kelsey provided a TON of input and guidance on places to do our First Look and other photos. She was just so amazingly helpful and kind. But where her kindness really shone through was on our wedding day. She went SO FAR above and beyond to give us the special day she felt we deserved after all our loss (we also had an 11 week miscarriage 8 months after our first baby was stillborn, and my mom was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in the height of our grief). She truly wanted our day to be as perfect as possible and she really delivered. My husband and I are both pretty shy, awkward people so we were super nervous for the photoshoot as we hate people looking at us and being the center of attention. Not only did Kelsey (and our wonderful videographer Jennie from Riviera Productions) make us feel completely at ease, but somehow, magically, she actually made it fun?!?!? Taking the photos between the ceremony and the reception was the most fun part of our wedding day, we had a blast and the photos are absolutely BREATHTAKING. Like straight out of a magazine. I don't know how she did it but she made everything look so beautiful and we could not be more thrilled with the photos. We knew she was good, because I'm the type of person who reads a million reviews and does a ton of research before I book anything or go anywhere, but Kelsey is next level. The photos are far better than anything we could have ever imagined. Even though we live in the Bay Area, we will be using Kelsey as our family photographer forever. She is worth 9 hours in the car round trip. Heck, I'd drive days to see her! If you're trying to decide who to book, stop wasting your time wading through reviews and just book Kelsey already. She is fantastic and we feel so, so, so fortunate to know her.

So hands down Kelsey is the BEST photographer in the Santa Barbara area! I may be biased since she…read morecaptured the most gorgeous photos from my husband and our wedding day at the Fess Parker this June, but honestly, she is the best. Our initial contact, I immediately knew that I wanted KELSEY, because I knew we would click, and we did! She met us when we came down to SB for a visit, as we don't live in the area, and gave me SO many recommendations, including my videographer, sweetheart cake, Flowers! Honestly, I credit her for the amazing vendors! Each photo is gorgeous and I would not have changed anything! She's so generous and provided my husband with some special stuff out of the kindness of her heart. Kelsey Crews is the best!

As a fellow photographer, I'll admit--I'm very particular about how I'm captured. But Ashleigh has a rare gift: she sees people in their best light, both literally and figuratively. She brings out an effortless confidence in me, and somehow always manages to capture images that feel both editorial and deeply personal. There's a magic to her work--an authenticity and beauty that shines through in every frame. Her eye is impeccable, her direction is gentle yet clear, and her editing style is elegant without ever feeling overdone. I trust her completely and feel so lucky to have been in front of her lens over the years. If you're looking for someone who can truly see you and bring out your best, Ashleigh is it.

Karen's calm presence made a huge difference. Her communication and coordination with our wedding planner were flawless, and her response time and turnaround on the photos were outstanding. The quality of the final gallery exceeded all expectations, every image was beautifully delivered and something we will cherish forever.

We are both not super comfortable in front of the camera, and Karen put us at ease and even gave us posing tips. Karen took the time to get each photo perfect, and even scoped out unique spots to make our photos extra special.
