Excellent service and photographs for our wedding. Very communicative and great pricing.

Terrible, non-existent communication from Calibridalfilm. We did not get what we paid for at all - the quality of their work was horrible. They did not follow the shot list we provided and we ended up with more photos of airplanes in the sky than of our actual wedding party and events. The male photographer was an absolute nightmare, making my entire bridal party cry, putting his hands on my blind grandmother, and refusing to listen to any of our requests, and ignoring all of us when we explicitly stated not to touch medical equipment. He not only moved my blind nana's mobility device but he moved my mother in laws walker out of her reach. He made me cry six different times throughout the day and I kept saying this is a nightmare. Calibridalfilm completely ruined our wedding day and the photos they provided are awful and nothing like what we paid for. No one in our wedding party liked working with this photographer, and he even told me to act like I was with my brother instead of my husband. I would not recommend Calibridalfilm to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. What makes it worse is that my friend used them a few weekends after we did and they have absolutely wonderful photos and wrote a stunning review. Update: I attached photos from my "official" look book from the company I have been told to make sure I did not fabricate anything I can't show you the pictures they did not take that were on my list, but I can post what I was given. Also, my blind grandma and mother in law whose medical equipment was moved can attest to the removal of their equipment. I did not write feelings I wrote facts. Also the photographer who wrote back a reply was not on the premises for my wedding. Their statement of looking through raw footage and not seeing me cry once is false, because I have the photos too and I can post them of me crying due to the male photographer making me cry by saying rude things and not being easy to work with. read more

I got married September 2023 and I've spent over a year learning photoshop to fix wedding photos taken by Calibridalfilm. All other reviews mention Anna's husband as one of the photographers, but at my wedding, it was only Anna and her sister taking pictures. ****I had only one request; please take photos of me from a higher angle. I showed Anna a previous photo of me taken from a higher angle versus a photo from a lower angle so she could understand what I meant. There were so many issues including 1) Not one photo was taken of me from a higher angle 2) There are 5 pictures of me listening to wedding speeches. My head is obscured by flowers in every photo except one. 3) Poor framing. See photos. 4) I was wearing a dress with cap sleeves. During the ceremony, one of the sleeves came off my arm. Instead of fixing my sleeve, most of he photos Anna took during the ceremony and all of the family photos after the ceremony (where Anna or her sister could have stepped in and fixed the issue) show me with one sleeve off and one sleeve on. 5) Last but not least, there are so many cool moments where only one single photo was taken. So if there's an issue with a photo, I have no good photo of that moment. Any photo I put up on social media has been heavily edited by me. All other reviews give them glowing feedback. But all other reviewers mention Anna's husband as one of the photographers, not her sister. There were other issues but these were the main ones. I deserve a refund. read more

I am so happy I went with Anna for my wedding photographer. She and her husband provided AMAZING photos. They're literally perfect. I provided them a list of photos I wanted and a timeline for the day. We were rushing, because we didn't have much time at the venue before the ceremony, but Anna made it work and captured everything. My husband and I are typically very awkward in photos, so I really appreciate Anna making us feel comfortable and showing us how to pose. I would recommend Anna for all future brides! read more

Absolutely incredible pictures! Like another mentioned, this was also my second time using Cali Bridal Films. Ana has the best eye for photography. She is excellent at directing different poses and telling you how to stand, where to look, how to position your body, etc. And the photos come out great!!! I highly recommend her and her husband to anyone looking for a photographer. Absolutely outstanding!!! read more

We are very pleased with CaliBridalFilm. She went above and beyond to make sure my surprise was successful and beautiful. My fiance was impressed and absolutely loves our pics read more

I loved working with Anna and her team! They were great and really efficient. I liked that they told us exactly how to pose, but the poses looked really natural. They knew our shooting location very well and came prepared with a game plan of exactly where to shoot. I liked that Anna gave me outfit recommendations when I asked her a few weeks before the shoot. The outfits and the location were perfect and worked so well together. She and her team were also on time and very nice and professional. Anna was great with trying to keep my toddlers entertained while we took shots of just me and my husband. I will be using Anna and her team for all of my events! read more

Very pleased with the quality of our photos and easy to work with. She did a great job managing a large number of family members and many different combinations with our 1-year-old son. read more

Anna went above and beyond to help memorialize our wedding with amazing high quality photos.

Absolutely wonderful experience working with Anna. She and her partner photographed my very large and colorful Indian wedding as well as our reception and the photos turned out AMAZING. Working with her was great from the start and communication and booking was easy. We had a huge wedding and as a couple were not great at corralling our wedding party/families which did not make their job easy, but they powered through and captured our day to perfection. Thank you!!! read more

Anna and Andrii did my engagement shoot and my experiences with them were so amazing! Read my previous review for more detail. WEDDING UPDATE: Anna and Andrii took pictures at my wedding, and it was the most amazing experience. All my guests loved working with them and kept telling me how sweet they were. Anytime anything fun or noteworthy happened, they were always on the ball to capture the moment with their cameras. The posed shots were gorgeous, but I value the candid ones even more. These memories will last me a lifetime. Anna even came earlier than anticipated to take bridal suite shots of me, even when I told her she didn't need to. And she didn't charge me extra for it! They seem to genuinely enjoy their job rather than being in it for the money. The prices are very very reasonable; excellent value for what you're getting. I think their pictures are better than other people who charge double the price! The resulting pictures from both the engagement and wedding are an absolute dream. I cannot get over them and neither can my friends or family. Hiring them was the best decision we could've possibly made for our wedding day. read more

Anna and Andrii photographed my family on Thanksgiving day for our parents 50th wedding anniversary/family reunion in Newport Beach. There were 18 of us.. quite a bunch. We opted to shoot down by the beach. They were really great at rolling with our situation-- had some older family members that couldn't walk far in the sand so they shot some photos close to the water/against a rock jetty with those of us who could navigate getting down there and then we all came up near the Strand where we shot with the others and did full family shots with us all. The photos turned out great... very professional, attractive and not over-done with effects. They were really nice, easy to work with, efficient with time and really caught us all in our better looking moments! Very much recommend them. read more

I hired Anna to photograph our wedding celebration. She was so kind and very communicative throughout the process. She responded very fast to my request for a quote, and I was happy to hear that she offered an hourly rate as i wasn't looking for a photographer for the whole event. She asked what kind of shots i wanted and since i wasn't too particular on what I wanted she provided suggestions that all turned out to be great. The photos were AMAZING, she took beautiful pictures of my husband and I and we love them. She also took some amazing photos of my relatives, I got so many wonderful candid shots of my family that i wasn't expecting but so very much appreciate. Thank you so much! read more

Anna and her husband were phenomenal! Anna was very responsive leading up to our wedding/elopement and they got to the site early to scope out the best spots for photos. They were so helpful in telling us where and how to pose, which we needed and were very thankful for!! They seemed just as passionate about us in getting the best pictures in the short amount of time with the sun setting. They were creative, fun, easy to work with and very reliable. I highly recommend them!!! read more

Anna and Andrii did an amazing job with our wedding photos. We had a large group of family with us at the courthouse and they got fantastic photos of every member of the family.

I picked Anna completely based on a few pictures she had on yelp and my communication with her and I'm so glad I chose her. She charges a flat hourly fee and is up front about the amount of time she needs based on the number of people you have. We went from 10 people to 6 people for the photoshoot due to some members contracting covid and she was very flexible about things. Anna spent some time on her own at the park we chose to scout out some locations. She also provided some suggestions on colors. The day of the photoshoot, she, along with her husband who was serving as her assistant that day, were EARLY and reviewed various locations for lighting before our arrival. She has a great eye for light composition and despite her subjects being mostly people who were super awkward in front of the camera, she managed to capture some great NATURAL LOOKING shots. The whole process was made easy by her open and clear communication and we got amazing results. Please support this Ukrainian woman owned business!! read more

Anna and her husband, Andrii, were a joy to work with. I contacted Anna on relatively short notice to set up a family photo session around the Thanksgiving holiday. Anna was very responsive and offered a very competitive rate. She made a great recommendation for a photo location that was convenient for my family and offered a variety of beautiful backgrounds and lighting. She also made good suggestions on items to bring for the photo session since we have young kids. Anna and her husband were punctual, professional, and so pleasant and nice to work with. They did a great job working with my entire family, including my two young kids. Once finished, Anna advised that our photos would be ready in approximately two weeks and she delivered as promised. The photos came out amazing and captured priceless moments and memories that my family will cherish forever. My wife and I look forward to working with Anna on future family photo sessions. I would 100% recommend Cali Bridal Film to anyone seeking a professional photographer offering fair rates and exceptional service! read more

I approached Cali Bridal just a day before the reunion shoot we were planning for and their response was real quick and they could accommodate us. Anna asked us the reason for photo shoot and a bit about what we wanted and where we wanted the shoot and she was very flexible. She was very patient through the shoot and results are here to see. Thank you Anna! I would recommend you to my friends and family. read more

Cali Bridal did a family photo session for our mom's 70th birthday, and they did a fantastic job! The photos are beautiful. Anna's team was able to produce these gorgeous photos even with some difficult conditions (young, uncooperative children; elderly and unwell parents; and an untidy house thanks to the children). We were very impressed with their work. They were professional, friendly, and accommodating. They arrived right on time and delivered the finished photos earlier than expected. We will definitely consider them again for our next family photo session. read more

It was a very good experience that we had in getting a maternity shoot done from Anna. She was extremely sweet and gave us the best shots that we had it in our mind. She also suggested a lot of poses that made our shoot so much worthwhile. We also suggested a place in Chino Hills, and she was very courteous enough to travel along to the place that we recommened for our shoot. Her edits were fabulous too and both my wife and I were extremely happy with the results of the pics taken in golden hour Will probably be looking forward to do more of family portraits in the future !! Thank you so much ! read more
