From the short time I was there, they were capturing every moment and angle with intention and creativity. Drexelle offered ideas as they saw fit, and looked for ways to make each shot even better. Not only were they professional, but they were also just pure and kind humans, and so enjoyable to be around! We had little pockets of conversation throughout the event, and each interaction was so easy and effortless. They definitely brought great energy to the celebration. I'd love to work alongside D.

From communication prior to booking, during the event and the final product, I was thoroughly impressed by Brittany and Connor's professionalism.

I like to reserve reviews divisible by "100" for "special places." This is my 1,300th review (at…read moreleast as of today and without some mysteriously getting deleted as has happened on occasion), so I wanted the review to be SPECIAL... reserved for an experience that was perfect or nearly perfect in every way. The 1300th review goes to Brianna Caster & Co. Photography/Shy Hearts Studios. They very recently photographed my daughter's wedding, and the photographs, and the quality of the photographs, are truly stunning. Much like Jill W's review, I am the mother of the bride, and even further like Jill W, my daughter and her now husband reside in New York but got married out here (at Sierra La Verne specifically, another Wedgewood Wedding property). To say that it was a bit of a challenge to coordinate all this long distance is an understatement, but thanks to a great deal of perseverance, determination and people who take pride in their wedding-related profession(s), it all came together beautifully. I haven't figured out if Brianna Caster has moved on from Shy Hearts to her own photography studio, or if she still goes by Shy Hearts, but my daughter initially consulted her directly (through Wedgewood) and spoke to her at length over numerous conversations. My daughter was so excited by how thorough Brianna appeared, not to mention, they spoke the same language as to what the photographic goals were. My daughter even stated to me, "She totally understands what I want" and even felt an emotional connection with her. A few months after she booked the wedding date, however, my daughter was informed by Brianna that she would be unable to photograph my daughter's wedding due to the impending birth of her first child. My daughter was devastated. However, Brianna spoke to her and promised her replacement would be just as caring and thoughtful and in tune with what my daughter's goals were. She said "Cara" is just as talented. My daughter reluctantly said okay, and she and her fiance' took their chances by having their engagement photo shoot with Cara to see how it'd go. My daughter and (now) son-in-law chose a variety of those photos, put them in an album, which then became their wedding day sign-in book, so I guess she liked them!! Then, fast forward another 4 months, Cara reappeared for their wedding, along with another photographer, "Rachel," and the rest is history. EVERYTHING TURNED OUT BEAUTIFULLY. For the 1,004 photos that were received...... and ONLY THREE WEEKS after the wedding I'll add, the styling, the backdrops, the quality, the posed shots, the unposed / natural shots, and the colors in these photos turned out gorgeous. They are as close to PERFECT as one could get. I am having a huge problem whittling the picture choices down..... I'm now with less than 500 that I can't live without. Can I make an album with just less than 500? :-) I think I need to whittle it down a bit more, but howwwwwwwwwww? They are all just so wonderful. So, the bottom line is this.... No matter where you live, if you get married in Southern California, use THIS photography studio. While Brianna is the leader of the pack, you can trust whichever photographer she sends you. They really know what they are doing, and for something as important as wedding photos, you will WANT what this studio produces. Simply gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful. Sheer perfection.

After having our wedding day photos be lost by another photographer.. NOT Brianna, we had a reshoot with her. A new opportunity to capture pictures that we thought to be lost forever.

Beautiful pictures that captured John and I's love for one another back at our wedding venue! She was professional, accommodating, efficient, kind and most of all RELIABLE!!

The scoop: I had a photographer cancel on me last minute due to contracting covid pretty badly a few days before a big cocktail birthday party I had planned. I found Saeed on yelp and he replied promptly and worked with me to tailor a quote to my needs for the party. I appreciated the detail and the attention and the general understanding he went the extra mile to give and get during this process. I had shared that I have had bad experiences in the past where professional photographers had delivered over edited photos to me - too much blurring and color correction that really affected skin tones and made everyone look weird. I felt really heard when I shared this with Saeed and when he showed me some photos the day of the party to make sure we were on the same page. I met him the day of the party, and he was so nice and all my guests really liked him and appreciated having him there. He was very kind moving about the party and also while giving some direction to those who posed for photos and requested he take a photo of them. I was very happy to hear such nice feedback from my family about Saeed and was even happier to relay those compliments to him after the fact. Everything went so well (photos came out great!) and exceeded my expectations for the 100+ guest outdoor cocktail party, that I called to book him again for a 50 guest sunset time boat party. I did try booking him a third time immediately after this but it was barely with 2 weeks notice from the birthday party and unfortunately for me (but fortunately for him!) he was booked for a wedding event. I'm honestly looking forward to booking him again when I can, and I hope to book the photo booth and add ons he has!

When we reached out for a photographer on Yelp, Kazuya was immediately responsive, available to schedule us on only a few days' notice, and picked a beautiful location. Even though the location was crowded with other people taking pictures (at least 5 other photographers), you wouldn't know it based on how the photos came out. The photos honestly make it look like we were the only people on the beach. In just an hour we had more than enough photos. The quality of his equipment and the photos themselves were fantastic. The photo experience itself was top notch. Kazuya was personable, funny, and my young kids found him to be very friendly. He even gave us a parking recommendation. Kazuya was very reasonably and fairly priced. We were so impressed with how quickly he finished the touch-up on all of our photos. And the download from WeTransfer was seamless.
