We didn't have to prepare much and Mily worked us through everything. It was exactly the experience we expected -- a breezy fun entertaining photographing experience, which itself is also as important as the final delivery. Mily gave us a wonderful time! Final results also look awesome. We had many choices to choose from and she set up a very nice digital tool to let us select what we want and pick ones we want to use for final deliverable. It has been great and I cannot be more grateful for Mily! Will work with her again after the baby is born!

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!

She took all the money before the session started and totally dumped our rare, once-in-a-lifetime family gathering, including our daughter's first photo shoot. The photographer promised delivery within three weeks but has since ignored all calls and emails. It's been 40 days, and we've received nothing. This unprofessional behavior has caused us to lose invaluable memories. Absolutely unacceptable.

Marisa and her husband photographed our intimate wedding in Malibu in November of 2017. This review…read moreis long overdue... Marisa went above and beyond all expectations we had in a wedding photographer. Our wedding was nontraditional - it was a small, intimate beach wedding and my wife and I had not extensively planned the timing and details of the ceremony itself until speaking with Marisa. Aside from planning the right timing for the events to happen so that the lighting was just right, she gave us so much direction and advice on other aspects of our evening that we had not even thought of, and it paid off. Her and her husband have an amazing energy - they are very calming, fun and organized, knowing exactly how to resolve potential issues and help coordinate on the fly. Our families later commented to us on how awesome they were. Of course, the photos were absolutely incredible. The lighting, edits, it all looks so natural and perfect. She is a true artist in that her photos do not look overly-shopped, they just look amazing. She is truly great at her craft and I could not recommend her more highly.

My wife and I hired Emma for our wedding in Costa Mesa and we are so happy that we did! Emma made…read moreus feel instantly comfortable and captured such beautiful photos of our wedding. We were originally a bit nervous because my wife and I don't typically do photoshoots and sometimes feel uncomfortable being romantic in front of a camera (we didn't even do an engagement shoot for that reason), but with Emma it was so easy and natural. We had a great time taking photos with her and loved her visions for our wedding party, detail shots, golden hour photos, and everything else. Thank you so much Emma!

Emma is truly a superstar. There are not enough good things to say about her in a review…read more We received our wedding photos a couple weeks ago, and they are incredible. Emma and her assistant (I am so sorry that I am forgetting her name) were able to capture everything we loved about that day. We got so many photos as part of our package, and there are no duds. It is an impossible task to go through and pick our favorites. The photos are the part of the wedding that last forever, and we could not be happier that we went with Emma. What my wife and I were drawn to about Emma's photos when we were shopping around, and what we saw reflected in our own photos, is her ability to capture little moments. She has a great sense for when something subtle but meaningful is happening, like a family member starting to tear up, or a speechgiver's friend in the crowd laughing at their joke. That's what is really valuable about the photos to us, and something I am not sure every photographer can get you. She is also a consummate professional. She is efficient and purposeful-she makes sure she captures all the important moments without consuming your whole day with photos. She provides clear instructions, which is helpful as the wedding couple, but is even more helpful when you are taking family photos with several different combinations of people. Emma is also so kind and lovely to be around. I normally do not like having photos taken of me, and it can be uncomfortable to be in that many photos, making serious faces, and allowing someone in during a highly emotional day. Emma makes that whole process comfortable and enjoyable. You can tell she has a real passion for doing this and truly enjoys getting to know the couples. Her friendliness and confidence put you at ease. This is a really important point-you spend as much time with the photographer on your wedding day as anyone else! Emma is a great person to spend that time with. I also want to note that all of the above is also true of Emma's assistant. Again, I am so sorry I am forgetting her name. But she was in charge of getting most of the groom and groomsmen photos at the beginning of the ceremony, and was such a pleasure to work with. That was the point in which I was the most nervous, and she made the whole process go smoothly and the day started out on a great foot as a result. We cannot recommend Emma enough.

I'm very happy we sought Owen for our engagement photos. He was made the process easy and I…read moredefinitely recommend him to anyone in need of a professional photographer. My husband and I were surprised with how good the photos turned out. Owen guided us on poses, so do not worry if you don't have any experience in front of a camera like us. I appreciate his attention to detail (notifying us of stray hairs, etc.) and he was respectful for my family who wanted a group photo. Not to mention, he's really humorous with his pop culture references; that definitely broke the ice and allowed us to be more at ease. I also want to highlight that he works incredibly fast and presented the finished products just a few days after our shoot! Thank you, Owen, for capturing these special moments for me and my husband.

I can't say enough about Owen's services. He was the best photographer I think we have ever hired…read more Super friendly and professional from the start, easy to schedule and book. He knew what we were looking for and took pictures of everything, food, guests, the venue. He directed all of the family photos and wasn't afraid to tell people to fix things for the sake of the pictures. He had my kids taking their monstrous load of stuff out of their pockets and even had me "suck it in" to get the right shot. Quick delivery of the photos and was cool enough to just give us all of the picture for the event. Highly recommend....

She knew exactly how to swaddle and pose him, while Steve was a true artisan with the camera. Steve captured the most expressive shots at all the right angles. Beverly and Steve were also very receptive to our requests! My husband is a rock climber, so we wanted to create a couple of newborn pictures that included his climbing gear. Beverly made it come together so beautifully! Steve and Beverly were also patient and kind about newborn messes (spraying during diaper changes, spit up after feeding, etc.). They've seen it all (they are parents themselves), and the mess doesn't faze them. In addition, they gave some great advice to ease my anxieties as a first-time mom. We are so pleased with our experience here. The final photos are beautiful and we'll cherish them for a lifetime. I can't recommend this studio highly enough.

They gave us plenty of time to settle and feed the baby, and even when she spit up all over their couch, they were nothing but kind and reassuring. Their home studio was warm and welcoming, and they went the extra mile--at one point, their daughter even played with my toddler so we could focus on photos. As any parent knows, getting a toddler and a newborn to cooperate is no small task, but they made it feel easy. The final photos were beautiful and captured our kids perfectly. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtful, talented, and genuinely kind photography team!
