Where do I even begin?! Emily and her team have far exceeded my expectations of what a photography…read moreand videography service should be! Emily has gone above and beyond to capture the special moments of my now husband and I. I remember the first moment when I spoke with her, and from that one phone conversation, I knew that she and I would not only share the same vision for photography (how I would like my pictures to be captured and how she captures photographs), but also become friends!! our first phone conversation was about four months prior to the wedding, and I had not done anything to plan for it! I am a busy resident physician, and I also wanted to plan my own wedding, but I didn't know where to start! So on that day, in between me seeing patients, Emily and I had a really brief phone conversation, where she said three simple words, "I got you!" Since that fateful day, she has not given us a dream engagement photo shoot (at the very beach in which my husband, and I fell in love with in Malibu, the El Matador state Beach!) but also our very special moments on our special wedding day! In the middle of me getting pulled in different directions even on that wedding day... the minute she walked in with her team, I felt sense of calm and comfort, knowing that she was there to make sure that even though I couldn't remember everything that was happening that day because it was so busy, I trusted that she would be able to make sure I could remember those details later on in photographs! Aside from her warm heart and truly genuine personality, her work is fantastic! My husband and I have a very particular vision and preference for the type of photographs that we would like, and she fits that and more! If you look through her portfolio on her website or on her Instagram, you can see the brightness that she exuberance in her own personality onto her art. The way she captures the light is so unique, and she truly is the most talented photographer that I've ever come across. Therefore, I follow my gut and knew that she is the best of the best! I cannot wait until she continues to capture more delicate moments of our lives as I hope to continue to get to know her as well personally because she truly is one of the most special people on this universe!

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.

I love Sara Knobel, let me count the ways!…read more I first met Sara in the midst of Covid, when I wanted to have my first family photo session. I am someone who is way more comfortable being behind the camera. Luckily, Sara knew exactly how to lighten the mood and create photos that felt like real life, which is exactly what I was looking for. Over the years, we have done two more shoots with Sara, and each one is better than the last. My only gripe is that I hadn't met her before we got married. I am jealous of the couples who have their weddings documented so lovingly by Sara Knobel photo!

I only needed one image and he gave me at least a dozen to choose from that I really like. He is extremely reasonable, his price is more than competitive. His studio is in his garage and I suppose it could get hot, but this was a summer day and I was fine. He is providing me with ten finished images, nine more than I expected. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a reasonable, professional and easy to work with photographer.

Dena made the transitions simple and ensures we got all the photos we wanted. I can't wait to get some of these photos printed and adorn our empty walls.

We got a chance to work with both him and his wife and I don't want to leave her out as she did the men's "getting ready" pictures and was amazing. They listen to what you want and then amplify it into amazing scenes and photos. Great with younger children as well as older family, as well as the stubborn and relentless. They are definitely all about you on your night. The party pictures were just as spectacular as the formal ones and it's cool to have a photographer who can have fun and party with the group but still do his job flawless. He really was a part of our family and we would recommend to EVERY one! Thanks John!

At our initial meeting, John was friendly and approachable; we appreciated that he was willing to work with us to create a package that met our needs within our budget. His portfolio was very impressive, and he delivered all that he promised and more! At the event, John was professional and well-organized, making sure to capture beautiful shots of the wedding party and our families in a timely manner. His friendly manner and positive attitude put everyone at ease and made us all feel relaxed and confident. With equal grace and talent, he was also able to catch all of those special candid moments before, during, and after the ceremony. Several guests remarked that he seemed to be everywhere at once; we were amazed that he was able to capture so many great shots of the wedding party, our families, our friends - stealing a kiss, sharing a joke, smiling with pride, dancing their hearts out...everything that made the day so special for all of us. I had said from the beginning of the wedding planning process that the photographer would be one of our most important expenses. The dress, the cake, the flowers - all of these things would last for one night only- but we will cherish our wedding photos forever. We are so thankful to John for his incredible work- I relive that night every time I look at his photos. We highly recommend him.
