My husband and I hired Ruthanne for our elopement in September 2019 in Napa. We are so happy we…read moreheld out for Ruthanne. Given it was literally just the two of us at our elopement (plus our pups) we wanted to capture the day in all the magic that it was. And Ruthanne did just that. Our elopement was at the Carneros Resort which was a 180 from the normal adventure elopement photos she usually takes. Ruthanne did SUCH an amazing job. I absolutely hate having my photo taken and after the first 5 minutes with Ruthanne I felt completely at ease. Our photos truly capture who we are together and aren't overly staged typical wedding photos. With that said, I feel like all of our photos could be in a vogue magazine. They are perfect. Would love to have Ruthanne take our photos again for our next big life moment!

I can't say enough good about Ruthanne. After following her on Instagram for a few months, all I…read morewanted was to shoot with her! Thankfully the opportunity arose and I was able to book an adventure session. Going in, we had no idea what to expect. But wow she was not joking when she named it that! We were hiking all over rocks and bushes covered in snow, falling and laughing. We had some truly incredible views and I got an amazing sneak peak just hours after we shot. Ruthanne was easy to get along with and was extremely knowledgeable about the area. I am so thankful that I found her and hope that we can work together again!

We've been lucky enough to have Steph photograph both our engagement and our wedding, and we can…read morehonestly say she is something special. For our engagement shoot, she made magic out of the space we were in. When the weather shifted mid-session, she didn't miss a beat--she helped us lean in, and the result was some of the most spectacular photos we've ever seen. She even went above and beyond to include our old (and rather temperamental) dog, creating the sweetest memories that we'll hold onto forever. For our wedding, Steph was incredible. She has this beautiful presence--she's fully there, warm, grounded, yet somehow moves so effortlessly and quietly that she captures moments no one else would have noticed. She is as creative and artistic as she is kind and easy to be around. For us, she became immediate family. The photos from our day are filled with so much heart, soul, and beauty. Both Steph and her work are true treasures.

Stephanie has been our photographer and honestly just our person for over 10 years. She's shot our…read morewedding in San Francisco (we live in Truckee), maternity photos, annual family portraits, and professional headshots and photoshoots. She remembers when we're due for photos before we do and just reaches out and that's just who she is. She literally talked me out of skipping a photographer at our City Hall wedding. I'm so glad she did. Those photos are everything to us. As an interracial same-sex couple, finding someone we truly felt safe and celebrated with was huge. Stephanie has always been that without question. Our family wouldn't trust anyone else. Working with her is easy as she is always on top of everything from scheduling to communication to edits. She doesn't skip a beat if the wind picks up, snow turns to rain or the alpenglow never appears as we experienced this last year in our family shoot! She rolls with it and makes everyone around her feel calm and I would never give another name or question the recommendation!

If you need professional services she is incredible.

Our first session with her was our maternity shoot. We almost cancelled due to a storm passing through, but in the end, she convinced us to meet her at Boca Reservoir anyhow. We arrived at Boca to find the most gorgeous June superbloom of Lupin. The storm had passed and the sky was perfection. Yashila captured the most artistic photos for my husband and I.

My wife and I started planning out wedding this spring, with our wedding day in July. We had most…read moreof plans in place but had not yet found the right photographer. A mutual friend told us about Emily Dettling so I gave her a call. She was very friendly and helpful answering my questions. She was also very flexible about providing us what we were looking for. Being a professional photographer myself, I asked her a lot of technical questions including equipment used, post production techniques, etc. I quickly gained a respect for how she operates her business. She asked us a lot of questions about what we wanted and needed from her. She offers a wide range of end products including beautiful bound photo albums. Her pricing was very competitive and I feel like we got a lot for our money. She was very prepared for the event. We ran into her at the venue the day before at the exact time of the event so she could get the lighting and sun/shadow angles right. I would definitely recommend Emily as a wedding and event photographer.
