I used their services for my wedding on July 6, 2013. Our ceremony was at Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral in Downtown LA. and our reception was at the AT&T Center Penthouse on the 32nd floor also in downtown LA. 1st Meeting: Sonia sold us primarily because she was very persistent. With work and all the other stuff going on we never took the time to try to meet with any photographers. We had all kinds of numbers and called to get information from them but Sonia was the only one that called, emailed, text us constantly to try to set up a meeting. This is what we needed for us to finally sit with a photographer. Sonia and Shannon came to our office and met with us. They brought some sample albums and showed us their work. We were very impressed. We immediately loved their work. They were a little over our budget but we were able to come to an agreement. Their work and their personality is was sold us to hiring them as our photographers. Engagement Shoot: We opted out of this service because we've been dating for 9 years. It was also a way for us to stay within our budget. We felt we had enough photos of the two of us. We did see some of their engagement shoot photos and they were phenomenal. Wedding Day: The Enchanted Bliss team arrived on time. First with the groom at his friends apartment in downtown LA then at the JW Marriott LA Live in downtown as well. They were dressed comfortable but professional. They tried very hard to get as many photos as possible. It was tough because we had a full room. All the bridesmaids, my mom, flower girls, ring bearer, 2 make up artists and 2 hair stylists. They did fantastic. They were easy going and even were okay with me saying no to certain photos they wanted me to pose for. Both of our venues were new to them but they did a fantastic job at both. I haven't seen all the photos yet but the ones I have seen are remarkable!. Cinema Production: Robert was great too! I can't say much about the video because I have not seen it yet but I did see his work and I'm looking forward to ours. He expressed to us how important it is to catch these moments on video and at first I didn't really realize how true that was till the end of the day when it all seemed like a blur! Great advise. Definitely consider having a cinematographer. I hope we LOVE our video! I most definitely recommend using Enchanted Bliss as your photographer for your next event. They are super professional, have fantastic personalities, are easy going and will help make your day just that much smoother and easier to manage. Thank you Sonia, Shannon and Robert! You guys helped make our day special and we'll forever be grateful for that. read more

We love you Sonia and Larry!!! Everything was so great and EVERYBODY had so much fun working with the both of you. From the get go, Sonia was extremely organized and sensitive to who we are as a couple and took the time to help us figure out what our style is. We are a really silly couple so it just doesn't feel natural to do super serious shots, but we also wanted to make sure we had some serious pictures in there with all the candid shots. Sonia and Larry did a great job making sure we had a good balance. They showed up on time, read the room(s) and did a wonderful job of both capturing natural moments and making sure we got more professionally-styled shots as well. They were both fun to work with and felt like part of the group. They worked extremely well with our videographers as well which was really helpful! I think the only thing I would do differently if I could go back would be to have a more specific list of the shots I wanted when it came to family shots, but that's on me. Sonia took the time to sit down with us and ask about specific shots, but it just didn't register at the time that everything would be too chaotic and exciting to think clearly the day of to get all the shots I wanted! Otherwise, there's nothing I would change, from the first meeting to the final product, I loved everything about it :) Our photos are absolutely GORGEOUS and even 5 months later I can't stop posting them on social media! Can't recommend Enchanted Bliss enough. read more

See all

Enchanted Bliss was recommended to me by a co-worker at the time because I told her I was still looking for a good photographer for my wedding. My now-husband and I met up with Sonia and Shannon not too long after that and we were very happy with what they can offer. The quality of their work is superb! I must admit here though that we did not go with them at that time. Our budget didn't quite allow for what they were quoting us. BUT, they helped us out of a jam after the photographer we almost went with ended up being shady! We met up with them again a few months later and explained what happened. Their prices had gone up since it was a new year, but they were able to stick to the previous years' prices since we did meet up with them before. And because they're just awesome like that. We weren't able to book both Sonia and Shannon for our wedding day, but we did get Shannon (with Larry to assist) and we couldn't have been happier with how everything went. Sonia was able to assist Shannon with our engagement shoot. When I say their work is superb, I mean it! They like to take their time with the couples, making sure they get the best pictures for you. They also like to spend all day with you when doing an engagement shoot, not 2 or 3 hours like most photographers, so prepare to spend all day with them! They're very pleasant to be around so that wasn't an issue for us. After handling the engagement shoot, Shannon helped me out with the timeline for the wedding day. I had no idea where to start with that (I was going on Google looking up timelines, turns out I didn't have to). That was a big help for me. I will tell you one thing, Shannon is extremely organized! That's someone you wanna have on your team! The wedding day came and Shannon comes in with her assistant, Larry (who was awesome!). They worked extremely well together and took fantastic shots. Shannon gave us a disc of our pictures a month or two later (of course they came out beautiful) and later, I worked with her on setting up the album. My husband and I are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy with how our album came out! We've gotten so many compliments from friends and family that we recommend Shannon and Sonia to just about everybody who's looking for a photographer (heck, even people who aren't "if you're planning anything big, call Enchanted Bliss!") I'm so glad we went with them in the end. They are so worth the money! Thank you Sonia for the help and guidance you gave us. And thank you Shannon and Larry for making my wedding day a beautiful and memorable day! read more

I received photography services for my Wedding on July 12, 2013. I have been soo busy but I have been wanting to write a review for Sonia and Shannon. They did a great job! From the beginning, Sonia was my main point of contact, she was professional, kind, informative and attentive to detail. She spoke to me on the phone and then we did an in-person meeting. She was absolutely a joy to work with, she was meticulous in capturing details and information about my fiancee and I. I was debating between her and other photographers, I showed her work to my friends and hands down, everyone loved her photos and work over the others. Her services were not the cheapest, but she works with you to give you what she can within her price range. I decided to go with her, because of her professionalism and because I felt that as a women she connected more with me and my fiancee and that if I asked her for something she would respect it and deliver. SHE REALLY DID! For the day of my wedding she was on -time, respectful and worked within the confines of my hotel setting which was kind-of crazy from all the people there! She didn't add any stress to my day, she took charge and only asked me to do what she needed me to do. She captured some great moments as well as facilitated some of the poses. She was diligent about lighting and getting great shots. She had a great timeline for the event which we discussed prior to the wedding day. She captured my groom and I getting ready in separate locations. She captured the venue details and she also did our first look. At first I was worried about the first look because I wanted to wait till we went down the aisle, but it really was a great idea. There are soo many emotions of anxiety and excitement that day which can get in the way of really enjoying the day. Having a first look really made all those feelings settle down and instead of anxious I felt more excited and relieved to take these photos. Additionally I asked Sonia for specific poses that my fiancee and I really liked and she did her best to capture all of them! I was very pleased with her work. Within a week she had a short 30 pic preview of the pics and all of my friends and family were absolutely in love with them. It didn't take much longer for her to send us our entire set of our pics via a flash drive in a beautiful case which had our picture, name and wedding day on the cover. It was lovely to see our pictures and to have them on a slide show which she was able to also do for us with 4 of our favorite songs. Sonia is beyond talented and I would absolutely recommend her to brides to be. She does great engagement shoots as well, but I couldn't afford it so I did mine on the cheap. Nevertheless, I am beyond satisfied with my wedding pictures and they serve as great memories of our beautiful day. If you want amazing pictures and impeccable service by a professional and kind photographer, Sonia is your girl! read more

I met Sonia Tapia through BNI, a business networking group of which we are both members. I am a florist and always looking for talented people to refer business to and since my referrals can make a big difference to a Bride and Groom and their Wedding Day, I am very picky. Sonia impressed me from our first meeting with her professional demeanor and work ethic and after seeing her beautiful "art" firsthand, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. She has photographed our flowers at a few different events and they came out gorgeous every time - indoor and outdoors! I personally find photographing flowers very challenging because of the textures and shadows, but she does an amazing job with them! She is also a sweetheart and a dream to work with. Her photos are outstanding - you will not be disappointed! read more

I used their services for my Sacrament on August 14, 2013 and my wedding on August 16, 2013. Our Sacrament was at Holy Name of Mary church in La Verne CA and our wedding was at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach CA. Having a great photographer and amazing photos was a huge priority to me for my wedding and what I first loved about Sonia and Shannon was that I could tell they were very passionate about there work and giving us exactly what we wanted. Sonia and Shannon met at our house and during our first meeting they were very prepared and organized, asked a lot of questions and wrote down everything that we talked about. They brought some sample albums and showed us their work and we were very impressed and blown away with how stunning their photos were. When we began the wedding planning processes and setting the budget we knew that photographers are not cheap but Enchanted Bliss was so reasonably priced for everything that they did and gave us. They stayed in constant contact with us all the way up to our wedding day and helped us set a schedule for the big day. We decided not to do an engagement shoot just because when we got engaged we were on a family vacation and my dad brought all his photography equipment and took photos of us the next day on vacation. We did see some of their engagement shoot photos and they were beautiful and creative and really captured the personality of all the lovely couples. On the day of the Sacrament they showed up on time and wasted no time getting started. They took way more photos then I thought they were going to take and it was kind of like a dress rehearsal for the big day. The day before the wedding we had a rehearsal at the Aquarium and Sonia came to walk around and check out the venue and get ideas for what she wanted to do on the day of which I thought was a great way to be the most prepared for the next day. On the day of the Aquarium wedding the Enchanted Bliss team showed up at the hotel that we were staying at right on time and got started right away with the groom in his room. During our meetings with them we decided what kind of photos we wanted for that day (getting ready photos, detail shots, first look photos, romantic photos, wedding party photos, and family photos) and they really stuck to our schedule and got all the photos that we wanted and talked about. I was really impressed with how on time they were with the schedule. We wanted a lot because like I said the photos were something that was really important to me so it did take up a good part of the day but they got it all done on time to start the ceremony right on schedule. They took great photos of the ceremony capturing key points and great expressions. After the ceremony we took some photos in front of the some of the aquariums which Sonia had scoped out the day before. Everything went so smoothly that day and our photos came out better then we could have ever imagined. Everyone that has seen them has loved them and cant stop saying how amazing they are and its all because we picked amazing photographers and they had such a wonderful team! We wanted out wedding photos to tell a story of our wedding day and we got exactly that! I would highly recommend using Enchanted Bliss as your photographer for your next event. They were all really professional, made everyone feel really comfortable and captured the several different personalities of everyone there. Thank you Enchanted Bliss for all your help and making our day so special and capturing it from beginning to end in such a beautiful way! read more

Sonia has been the photographer at our annual father daughter dance the last two years. She brings three photographers and has everything set up and ready to go. She's extremely professional and as always sweet and kind to work with. I highly recommend her for any event that you have. The fact that she can get through 400 people in 2 hours is just amazing. read more

Enchanted Bliss was recommended to us by our event coordinator, Tracy Sanders for our 50th wedding anniversary on 8/27/17. We met with Sonia in our home to discuss her services and immediately were impressed with her demeanor, presentation and humor. She became our photographer of choice. On the day of our event, she was early, took awesome pictures of our venue, prior to guests arriving, set us up for family photos and took candid shots of the festivities. During this time, she was personable, efficient and professional. Most of our family wanted her as a friend. We had a photo booth for guests to have pictures taken and Larry handled all requests with a smile on his face. Both Sonia and Larry appeared to enjoy what they were doing and this was reflected in the artistry of their photos. We were more than pleased with the final results. It is so nice to look at our pictures and enjoy those moments again. Thank you Sonia and Larry for a job well done. You brought tears of happiness to an "old married couple". read more
