We hired Andy for our wedding in September 2025. After some thoughtful research, what sold us on…read morehis work was his effortless ability to capture the perfect moments of a wedding day--especially his night photography and dance floor shots. He is incredibly professional, and we felt very comfortable with him from the start. He made us laugh, which was so helpful in easing those stressful moments. We were very impressed with his timeline and how smoothly he kept everything moving. He was prompt, had great ideas for photo locations to get the best results, and was also open to our input--making sure our ideas came to life. Andy was flexible with his packages to fit our budget; we had originally planned for five hours of coverage but decided to upgrade to the full eight hours because photography is so important to us. His communication throughout the entire process was amazing. He provided a helpful welcome guide to navigate the wedding process and a detailed questionnaire to plan out who would be photographed during cocktail hour. Again, his communication was flawless! Here was our timeline for a 4:00 PM wedding with a first look: 2:00 - Photography begins / detail shots and getting ready 2:40 - First Look 3:00 - Bridal Party (together, separate, solos) 4:00 - Ceremony 4:30 - Family Photos / Cocktail Hour 5:45 - Grand Entrance with First Dance 6:00 - Dinner 6:30 - Shoe Game 6:45 - Speeches 7:00 - Sunset Photos 7:20 - Dances 7:25 - Open Dance Floor 9:50 - Bubble Exit 10:00 - Photography ends Helpful tip to those planning a wedding, we only wished we had also hired a videographer to capture the words said or designate someone to take videos with their phone.

We chose Burlap and Oak Wedding Photography for my daughter's wedding on April 6, 2024. Andy did a…read morebeautiful job. He listened to what my daughter had in mind and the pictures were exactly what she wanted. He even tried a bubble machine while taking dancing pictures. This created a fun unique look. Andy took free engagement pictures that we were able to use for the invitations and Welcome party. Andy was on time and ready to go. We highly recommend Burlap and Oak Wedding Photography.

Brad Golden of Brad Golden Video Productions is a true professional. We (Louie and the Lovers),…read morehave had the pleasure to work with Brad. Brad has been an important part of the rebirth of Louie and the Lovers. Brad Golden Video Productions not only video taped our first comeback performance at D'Anbino Wine Tasting Cellars in Paso Robles, but they also provided a live internet video feed broadcast around the world. How awesome is that! Our calibration with Brad on our Louie and the Lovers 'Rise Again' CD Design Cover, was a true blessing; Brad easily captured our ideas for the theme of a Phoenix Rising from the ashes that we were going for, by using his creative talents and expertise. Brad is currently working on our webpage design and based on our previous experiences with Brad Golden Video Productions we are sure that the end product that he delivers will be an outstanding tool for us to use to engage our friends, our fans and potential clients. We highly recommend you give Brad Golden Video Productions a call, for any and all of your video and special project needs. We truly appreciate what Brad Golden and his video production company has done for us.

We cannot recommend Allyson Magda Photography enough. Jill was the photographer for my sister's and…read morebrother's weddings and I knew once I was engaged who I wanted to be the photographer. Allyson was easy to contact and always prompt with her responses. Jill arrived on time and was able to pick out awesome spots for pictures despite never having been to that venue before. Jill made my husband and I feel at ease and super comfortable throughout our shoot. She gave great suggestions and helped us pose for the best pictures possible. Jill definitely prioritized our requests and made sure that we got all of the portraits we wanted. Again, I absolutely recommend Allyson Magda and her awesome team of photographers.

The images turned out even more perfect than I could have hoped for. She had the images to me within a week and they were edited to perfection.

I've been meaning to write a review for Melissa since my husband and I got married on June 1st but…read morekeep asking myself, "When will I ever have time to write ALL the good things I have to say?" In a nutshell: Melissa is amazing. Make sure to check out her website and facebook page to see her gorgeous photos and videos. You'll see just how talented she is. I love that she manages to capture moments as they're happening rather than trying to force a "perfect" photo. Real is so much more beautiful. Melissa strikes the perfect balance between being personable and being professional. Maybe you're nervous about having some stranger point a big black camera at you (What DO I do with my hands?). Maybe you've heard horror stories about photographers missing important moments or barking orders at everyone in the wedding party. Whatever your concerns are regarding a photographer, one coffee date with Melissa and they'll be gone. Sincerely, One happy bride

At the last minute he asked her if he could have his pictures taken at Poly Canyon after we had already met at another location. With ease and exceptance she appreciated his unique idea, and happily and willingly packed up and changed locations. He is a runner and has many of his high school memories in the Canyon. That made him feel empowered and relaxed for his whole photo shoot. Something he thought would be mundane ended up a fun and happy experience for him, and it showed in every shot Tamara took. She really "got" my son and it showed in the images. We could not be happier.
