I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Brandon on June 7th for an intimate wedding at The…read moreDana on Mission Bay. As a wedding coordinator, I'm always a little skeptical when working with new vendors because you never know what to expect in terms of professionalism, communication, and work ethic. Brandon exceeded every expectation. He was incredibly easy to work with, provided great direction during photos, and helped create a fun, relaxed atmosphere throughout the day. His sense of humor and lighthearted personality made the experience enjoyable for both the couple and the vendor team. From what I've seen on social media, his work is absolutely stunning, and I can't wait to see the full gallery from our event. I would confidently recommend Brandon to my clients and look forward to the opportunity to work with him again in the future.

Brandon is a great photographer. Helped me by being incognito for my proposal. Went a week before…read morethe big day to go over the game plan at the location I wanted, gave me great pointers on how to go about asking my fiance. His action shots were great, editing style was my favorite. His turn around time was VERY VERY fast to get us the pictures to share with our loved ones. Such a great pleasure to work with Brandon. 10/10 experience with him and will be recommending him to anyone in the San Diego area. My experience with him was fantastic and exceeded my expectations by a mile! Brandon you're the man and you helped capture our moment to cherish forever. May God bless you Brandon

It had been a while since we'd had a family photo so I suggested to my mom that we try outdoor…read morephotos instead of studio photos at the mall. Emily was so helpful, kind and professional from start to finish. She gave me great recommendations for shoot locations, and was flexible with the timing. On the day of, it unfortunately started to sprinkle, but Emily managed to keep everyone mostly dry despite us all being outside. (She offered to reschedule the shoot, but we opted for doing as much as we could since some family had to drive/fly in.) We managed to squeeze in a lot of photos before the real downpour started and we never felt rushed either. She was really kind and patient with my family, and got so many great shots of all of us smiling! Everything felt so easy and she's so great at directing poses, especially since some of us had no idea what to do. The final results were fantastic too, I was blown away by the quality of the composition, framing, and editing. My family's pretty awkward sometimes but she made us all look like a model Pinterest family! I'm so happy we chose her as a photographer, cause now we have some really beautiful photos of our family to look back at in the future. If you usually get your family photos done at the mall, you should seriously consider switching to Emily. She made us look so much better and more natural than Sears or JC Penney ever did! Would love to do another shoot with her in the future and I highly recommend her for any photography needs!

As with many other engaged couples, the pandemic had thrown a small wrench in our plans of a…read moretraditional wedding with a reception. Only the *tiniest* bit bummed, we decided to still get married and scheduled our civil ceremony. But now, I want a photographer to document this event... I think I found Emily on Instagram, after looking around at different photographers' work. I remember really liking Emily's style, how natural everyone looked, and how well Emily captured the moments. I think those were/are the most important things for me for choosing a photog, and it helped that Emily has (solid) reviews for me to go through as well. Emily was prompt in responding via email, and offered to chat on the phone to discuss the details and what I wanted. After talking for a bit, I sent over a deposit and we were set! Or not... because a week or two before our shoot, I looked at my civil ceremony appointment time and it was actually for 8am, NOT 8:30am. Yikes! I text Emily, nervous that she wouldn't be able to make the earlier time, and I would need to scramble for another photographer, but thankfully, Emily is flexible and okay with the earlier time. Phew! I also wasn't quite sure *what* I wanted from the photos (POSES? props!? specific backgrounds?!) but found some pictures I liked and sent them to Emily a day or two before our appointment, so she had an idea what I was going for. I appreciate Emily's responsiveness! The actual civil ceremony felt a little hectic; we did not know what it would entail -- paperwork, of course, and then waiting because there were other couples that were getting married that day. Thankfully, Emily was very patient. Emily is personable, friendly, and professional. She is very easy to work with, and helped the husband (!!) and I feel comfortable. Nothing felt forced, and I think she did a great job of eliciting and capturing our authentic moments. We are super pleased with the pictures and I can't stop looking at them! Lol. I would *definitely* solicit Emily's services again. Maybe for one of her fun mini shoots down the line. What a cute, low pressure and creative way to get some quality photos! Reception/after party TBA in December 2021! Or 2022, depending on how things shake out ;)

As someone who has never been entirely comfortable with being in front of the camera, Berlynn went above and beyond to make me calm and relaxed. If you are camera shy like me, you will find her warm energy authentic and encouraging. She not only cares about capturing beautiful images, but genuinely cares that you are enjoying the process and makes the entire photo shoot experience truly memorable. Berlynn is one of the most sweetest, kindest, genuine, and talented Photographers that I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I 100% recommend her photography services to anyone and everyone!

Do not hire this photographer..any change to your agreement and she'll literally cancel on you. We…read morebooked her for a destination wedding in the Bay Area and agreed to pay a travel fee. We paid a hefty $1,300 deposit and were so excited to work with her. Her style fit ours perfectly and she came recommended by our good friends who used her for their wedding. Earlier this year, I lost my job and had to take a massive pay cut, due to that we changed our wedding venue to a much more affordable location in the Northern California area. We explained this to Berlynn and expressed how much we still wanted to work with her despite the change in location. We even sent her a very detailed email showing her that the change in location wouldn't add too much additional travel time. Instead of trying to work with us by requesting an additional travel fee or something along those lines, she decided to flat out cancel working with us and refused to give us back our deposit. So now we lost $1,300 and had to find a new photographer. Edit to add: based on my calculations, the new location would have taken roughly the same amount of time to get to with a small addition of maybe 30 minutes. Also, flights are more accessible to the new location. A new contract could have been discussed but it wasn't. You chose to cancel on us without even discussing what a new contract would entail. Very unprofessional.

WHERE DO I BEGIN?!…read more Seriously, this girl is amazing and truly so talented in everything she does!! I first found Rachael online and loved ALL of her work. Literally - I fell in LOVE with all of her photos-- I knew this girl had some A-game skills! She was super personable and VERY down to earth! I really liked that about her, she would FaceTime and communicate with me from time to time just to see if I needed any help with anything and it just felt so appreciative! Our wedding would've probably been so disorganized without her! She provided resources and a timeline of the day to make things go smoother, which was of tremendous assistance! She was such a big part of our day, I can't even express how thankful I truly am to have had her as my photographer! Let's talk about the actual photoshoot! My husband and I are always so camera shy, especially when someone else is behind the camera --- (Will she get my angles correct? Am I gonna look like a potato?) Haha, some of us ladies know we have to take 17499328 selfies just to get the right one, let alone trusting someone else behind the camera to do the work for us. Well --- Have no fear !!! Rachael knows your best angle, she knows how to get the perfect picture, the perfect lighting, the perfect position, the perfect everything! I feel so HAPPY and IN LOVE with all of our photos!! She couldn't have captured the day more perfect. She is SO comfortable to work with, my husband and I can be so awkward and insecure at times and she just made us feel so beautiful! She went above and beyond! I love that we took a little walk and adventured outside of the venue to capture some fun shots of us in the Philadelphia area! Working with Rachael was a blast and I'm so SO so grateful for her !!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!

She took the time out of her birthday to come and do our wedding, and that meant the world to us. She took the best pictures with the best angles, and her editing is beyond stunning! We could not be any happier with how they turned out. Cannot wait to use Rachael again for future family photo sessions!

so I've known Jenna for a couple of years through our exercise class and admired her photography…read morethrough her blog. When my son was born and my parents came to visit, I couldn't think of a better person to mark the arrival of my firstborn and their first grandchild. We set up a session in Balboa Park, originally at lunchtime, but Jenna recommended we do it at sunset because of the light and what an inspired idea. We spent an hour of fun in Balboa, moving around to different locations in the park, to the untrained eye, seemingly normal settings, but to Jenna's eye, the perfect place to capture special moments. I'd never done an informal session before, only stiff, studio portraits, but Jenna put us all at our ease with her relaxed personality and special touch. I waited with bated breath for a couple of days and as she promised, there were a selection of photos on her blog with a very personal and sincere message. Luckily my parents were still here and we were all blown away. Well that's an understatement to say the least. We were just amazed at how beautifully she had captured us all, esp my son and his developing personality.There were pictures in there I don't even remember being taken, because they were so natural and full of spontaneity We didn't have to think twice about ordering the CD with all the shots on. So I am saying to all of you reading this, with a special family occasion in mind............HIRE THIS GIRL!! She is amazing and talented, and has that rare capacity to be warm, friendly and yet thoroughly professional with her subjects. I can't wait for our next session!

Long overdue since Jenna has done at least 5 sessions with our family. There is not a better…read morephotographer out there. She is creative, easy to work with, speedy with completing orders, and a joy to work with. Great with kids, she has followed our twins since birth and they love working with her.
