    Authentic Collective was the second vendor we booked for our elopement (our original venue was the first). We found Authentic Collective by using the hashtag #AdventureWeddingPhotographers because we wanted to get married in a way that represented us: fun, adventurous, and outgoing with a drop dead gorgeous view that spoke to the soul. After stalking them via iG and learning that they would be in California for our date, we inquired more about their services. Choosing them was the easiest part of planning one of the biggest days of our lives! The biggest help in planning was 100%, the timeline. Due to COVID, we had to change our plans over five times and when we finally landed on our ideal venue (3 weeks before our date), we could only be there for 5 hours (making it a microwedding) so it was definitely crunch time. Their guide let us see how we could maximize our time for everything we wanted to do. Savannah & Greg surprised us when they arrived early to scout out the area to get our detailed shoots done. As we got ready, we hardly noticed them taking photos but they were there for all of our special little moments. Sav & Greg knew how dishearten we were that our plans changed from Big Sur to Malibu that they found the most amazing spot for us to have our first look! We told them that we wanted to do it on the beach, but who knew there was a view that looked as if we were in Big Sur for us to have our special moment (truly jaw dropping). Also, Greg was extremely helpful in assisting me in getting down to the the area to do my first look. They were even kind enough to give us a ride to our venue after we couldn't get in touch with anyone from our wedding party. Again, planning a wedding is stressful and while I was stressed, the favorite part of my wedding day (other than marrying my best friend) was taking photos because that was the time we got to spend together and that's basically the most important part of the day, to celebrate our new union and that's exactly what we were able to do while taking photos. Once we got to our venue site, we were able to take additional photos before guests arrived. Savannah and Greg were so great in showing us how to pose while being ourselves. They coached us through the poses they were looking for from hand/arm placement, how to hold the flowers, looking at each other to getting genuine laughs. Let's talk about the shot list! It's so important to do the shot list because Savannah and Greg follow it to the T! AC provided us with a shot list to make sure we took photos with people we wanted and that's super important because the day-of everything is so crazy and goes by so fast that I would've forgot. Savannah and Greg were so amazing at calling people in and out of the shots that we were able to get everything we wanted. Not to mention, it didn't take long, Greg was able to get people in and out (in a polite way), they both helped pose the groups and Savannah took about one of two shots... done! With our wedding party... omg they told us to walk slowly to them and we thought "umm okay" and we were told to look at each other and laugh and those shots came out so amazing, it looked like it was straight out of a wedding magazine! While we didn't have enough time to go around the ranch like we originally hoped, Savannah and Greg were able to get security to drive us to the giraffe and we were able to get our newlywed shots there along with an amazing Golden Hour in the grapevines. We weren't sure if we wanted footage from our toasts until after it happened and they had that footage covered even though we hadn't planned for it, they were steps ahead of us and ready to deliver. Overall, I recommend Sav & Greg for everything... I got the Diamond Collection plus extra, we needed the extra! Along with video coverage (highlight, ceremony, and toast). This is definitely a collective to have but also a heirloom for generations to come! Authentic Collective taps into your heart and captures it the way you always envisioned. They're not only a blast and a joy to spend the day with, but they're extremely professional! Major props to the dream team, Savannah & Greg! You captured moments we will treasure forever and you're now a part of our family. Thank you for making it an Authentic Collective

    This was an absolutely terrible experience for our family. Christina didn't listen to what I wanted…read moreat all, and when I told her I was uncomfortable in a certain pose (Sitting on a jagged rock on a steep hill, in a dress and heels, while holding my newborn), she threatened to quit and wouldn't continue shooting until I did the pose she wanted. She was terrible at giving directions (just turn, turn the other way, no the other way, move your hand, etc - entirely unclear) and would get mad at us when we didn't guess correctly what she meant. When we didn't pose the way she wanted, she would make sarcastic and snippy comments that made us all SO uncomfortable and made the whole shoot so awkward. And then she'd bark at you to smile! We did not get one single photo that we will ever use. I am so very sad and mad, not only that we wasted $500 but that we can't go back and get photos that we can actually use of my baby at this age again. We can never get that back. I would highly encourage you to think twice before hiring Christina if you have a baby - she absolutely does NOT know how to shoot babies. Or family groups. If you have any thoughts or opinions of your own whatsoever about what you want, she will not listen to you. When I told her what shots I wanted (which we had discussed over the phone and in email prior to the shoot) she yelled at me that she's the professional and basically I needed to shut up and do it her way because I don't know anything. I left the shoot in tears. It was truly awful. And surprise surprise, I've never seen less flattering photos of myself or my family in my entire life. There is literally not one single photo where you can see everyone's face and everyone has their eyes open! I truly believe she started taking bad photos intentionally after I didn't want to do one of her poses because even a non-professional photographer could capture at least one or two that were ok. Think twice before hiring her.

    Christina recently took mine and my fiancé's engagement photos. We were nervous for the shoot…read morebecause we have never had professional photos done and tend to be awkward in front of the camera. Christina made all of those worries disappear!! She met with us prior to our shoot to get an understanding of our vision,help advise us on what to wear, and decide on a location. Everything she suggested was absolutely perfect!! The photos came out 100x better than we ever could have hoped for and she returned them to us remarkably fast! It was a pleasure to work with such a friendly & talented photographer and I would recommend her to anyone!

The entire staff has this incredible way of making you feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and their creativity shines through in every single shot. The session flowed so naturally, and they captured such genuine, emotional moments -- the kind of images you look at and can't help but smile. Their attention to detail, eye for lighting, and ability to bring out authentic expressions are just on another level. You can tell they pour their heart into their work. The final photos were breathtaking. Beautiful, crisp, full of personality -- truly keepsakes I'll treasure forever. If you're looking for a photographer who combines artistry, warmth, and top-tier professionalism, I couldn't recommend Sandy Puc enough. They are exceptional.

Nikolai Puc was my photographer, and he immediately made me feel comfortable, confident, and able to truly embrace my beauty and have fun with the process. As someone who has never done anything like this before, I was definitely hesitant--but Nikolai talked me through every step, helped me relax, and created such a safe, empowering environment. The entire shoot was uplifting and so much more meaningful than I expected. If you've ever considered a boudoir session, do it. This experience was empowering, professional, and genuinely transformative. I'm so grateful and highly recommend Sandy Puc Photography and working with Nikolai!
