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!

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!

Karl was our wedding photographer and he is amazing. Great communication and very responsive during…read morethe planning phase. He really spent time to understand the location, family dynamics, how time of the day and seasonality may affect the lighting. His depth of experience was apparent. You can tell he has really thought through everything. On the wedding day, he arrived promptly and did everything we had asked for and even more. Artistically, he is very versatile, seamless blending event photography, fine art wedding photography, and family portraits. The photos came out amazing. He directed the guests in ways that feel friendly and fund, and he also captured a lot of fun, spontaneous moments that we will be enjoying again through the photos. If you are looking for a wedding photographer - or anything else within his repertoire - I highly recommend Karl.

The photos came out just as I expected! The quality is professional and every picture she captured is amazing. I love her use of natural lighting. It's just so beautiful and the picture really takes you back to the moment. This feeling is perfect because I want to be able to look back when my baby is a teenager and remember this special time. To top things off, she delivered the photos to me the very next day! Although, normal turn around time is between 1-3 weeks she was able to make it happen for us. The mini sessions are short but it's enough for her to work her magic. She is a bit further than where I live (I live in Ventura) but the drive was worth it. I would def recommend her if you're considering using her as a photographer. See photos attached.

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.

Over a dinner party, Katie showed me her portfolio of portraits she'd taken of family and friends and I just, FELL IN LOVE! Her style was exactly what I envisioned for an outdoor rustic style engagement & wedding. The day of the engagement shoot, she made us feel so comfortable and calm with her sweet & funny sense of humor. Since my husband doesn't have a lot of patience (most men don't) she was quick yet thorough and professional -the entire shoot only took 35-45 minutes. That same evening, we received a few sneak peeks and were BLOWN away by her talent! We knew then, our wedding photos were going to be STUNNING. On the wedding day, Katie was so FLEXIABLE and relaxing to be around. She made our entire wedding party feel so comfortable. She was not pushy or bossy and knew exactly which shots she wanted to capture. Since the wedding was late in March, her use of natural light made everything all the more BREATHTAKING. We also received sneak peeks within a day and couldn't believe it. I've never received so many compliments from friends, family, and coworkers ever before! All the pictures were captured so elegantly and beautifully that nothing was overdone, just real emotions perfectly captured. The wedding was even featured on my dress designer, Claire Pettibone's, blog & Style Me Pretty! http://www.stylemepretty.com/california-weddings/2013/06/24/old-agoura-wedding-from-katie-shuler-photography/ Not only is Katie Shuler talented, but her attention to detail transpires in her work. Her love for her husband, family, their animals, and passion for life makes her the PERFECT photographer for paying attention to all of the emotional moments.
